The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of formerly more likely printing the news further than merely printing the news for university varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and caring; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University. The students of the University.
MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1918
When getting ahead of others means trampling upon their rights and keeping them back by unfair play, it signifies failure not success. Such efforts develop the brute in men—and nations.
Fourteen years ago a clever writer in the Boston Globe advised Professor Langley to fly his air-ship bottom side up, so that it would go up in the air instead of down into the water. Probably by this time the witter of that paragraph has seen airships fly in the manner he thought so ludicrous.
HOW DO YOU VOTE?
By cutting down their sugar consumption from more than seven to about five pounds a month per capita, the United States has been enabled to ship considerable quantities of this commodity to France. This information comes from Hoover, who adds that the American people are proud of the achievement.
The American people as a whole may rejoice, but the credit belongs to individuals, and they only, can rejoice conscientiously. The saving of sugar has been asked of the American people as a whole, but this means individual response. How many students in the University of Kansas can rejoice over the apparent success of sugar conservation?
The huge shipments of sugar to France, however, does not mean that there is plenty of sugar for America and her allies. While the Americans are using five pounds a month, all that is necessary and good for the maintenance of health, the French are using only half that amount. Is there any good reason why American coffee should be agreeably sweet, and French coffee disagreeably bitter? Furthermore, should conscientious Americans drink coffee under-sweetened while the unthinking and reckless remain unconcerned over wastage?
There is no need for a vote of Americans on the wisdom of food conservation; a referendum is taken at the dining table three times daily by a hundred million people. How do you vote?
THE SENATE'S ACTION
In its two-day session on the military drill question, the University Senate adopted several measures for the purpose of infusing new life into the K. U. regiment. When compulsory drill was established at the University two months ago it was believed that the machine for its enforcement was provided when the deans of the various schools were given authority to withdraw any student who failed to do satisfactory work in the department of physical education. No doubt the deans expected to enforce this ruling, but when reports of deficiencies began to

appear in wholesale numbers the deens refused to act and the Senate ruling became a dead letter.
If the deans had reported at the next meeting of the Senate that it was impossible to enforce the ruling, much trouble would probably have been saved. But this was not done and in the meantime the morale of the drill companies steadily declined. Officers failed to appear and their discipline was lax. Companies were greatly reduced in size by unexcused absences and there was only a semblance of an attempt to make up cuts Friday nights.
To overcome this condition, the Senate passed a resolution Friday, whereby the deans are required to withdraw a student's registration for credit who is not doing satisfactorily work in the department of physical education. The working of this ruling is as follows: Each student is allowed one unexcused absence every two weeks. In case a student has more than one unexcused absence within that period, the dean must notify him that if he does not satisfactorily arrange to make up the cut within three days no more grades will be registered to his credit until he does. He may, however, still remain in class and when he has satisfactorily made up his cuts, he will again receive credit for his work.
It will be readily seen that this new ruling is not essentially different from the first. It is simply an attempt to reduce the number of unexcused absences in the department of physical education by making the penalty clearer. The deans have had the power from the first to withdraw students not doing satisfactory work in that department. The Senate now directs them to use this authority.
It seems rather strange that such measures are necessary to compel students who are punctual in every other way, to go to military drill. Perhaps if the Senate had given more attention to the ways and means of enforcing attendance when it adopted compulsory drill, the K. U. regiment would have marched through the year with flying colors.
Question: Who was the first Chancellor of the : University? Answer The Reverend R. W. Oliver, rector of the Protestant Episcopal hurch, of Lawrence, was elected Chancellor and President of the university, who coined three colleagues on the faculty were F. J. Rice, D. H. Robinson, and F. H. Snow.

Since Chancellor Oliver's resignation in 1867, there have been the following Chancellors: General John Fraser, James Marvin, Joshua Allan Lippincott, Acting Chancellor W. C. Strong, F. H. Snow, and Strong.
Chancellor Oliver was a genial Scotchman, who spoke with a strong accent. One of his characteristics is good stories and a fond witness for a fond witness.

And faces, lightly kind:
Their cheer of old, hereafter.

Or lanes, thin-velled with snow,

her cheek of old, hereafter Shall I, returning find?
Light laughter, toast and fireside,
And eyes half-kind, half-cold?
Homeward across the shire ride

Shall I go back to know?

MENTAL LAPSES
An Irishman and a Scot were arguing as to the merits of their respective countries.
"Ah weel," said Sandy, "they tore down an old castle in Scotland. I and found many mires under it, which were so dark that you knew their houndreds o' years age."
"Well," said Pat, "they tore down an old castle in Oireland and there was no wires under it, which shows that that they knew all about wireless telegraphy in Oireland hundreds ayears ago."—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph
TWO TOMMIES
Two British soldiers went into a restaurant at Salonica and asked for Kate's permission.
The waiter said: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I can't Servia." Whereupon the Tommies cried: "Fetch the Bosphorus."
When that gentleman arrived and heard the complaint, the manager said: "Well, gentlemen. I don't want to Russia, but you cannot Rumania."
And so the poor Tommies had to go away Hungary.—Scottish American in The Independent.
The hotel was over-crowded and a very fat man had been forced to spend the night on a wire cot minus blankets and mattress. "How did you sleep?" inquired the clerk the next morning.
"O my I slept all right," the fat man assured him, "but I certainly loo!ed like a waffle when I got up this morning!"—Milestones.
FROM THE GRIDDLE
PATRIOTISM BY THE POUND
On Friday evening, Mr. Jackson Stone, of Chicago, and Miss Eva Morris, of Hebron, were quietly married. As sweetly as the blending of two light beams in the solemn hush that fell over the little company of friends, these two souls melted into each other under the mystic words of union spoken by the officiating clergyman—Valparaíso (Ind.) Vidette.
"Do you want your wife to vote?" "I don't like to express myself," said Mr. Meekton. "If I advocate it and Henrietta finds she doesn't like politics, she'll blame me for getting her into it."—Washington Star.
MORRIS-STONE
A few days ago a waiter in a restaurant upset a bowl of sugar. The cake was filled with laborers, bank officers, clocks, office clocks, stenographers, railway executives and representatives of a dozen other walks in life. But the growl that rebuked the waiter was an unanimous expression of resentment against waste. It voiced a new American point of view. An investigation of almost any average home in which meat was served at least six times a week a year ago will disclose the fact that two or three meatless days is the rule now. That saving multiplied by a million or more homes in the United States means the creation of the food surplus America needs for shipment to Great Britain, France, Italy. The food administration勾挂 an agency called Mecca when it centered its figt in production, transportation and distribution at the beginning of the campaign for conservation and trusted the housekeepers to take care of the last detail of the plan for saving—Leslie's Weekly.

You may remember the old fairy story of the man who had an enchanted purse from which he could take out one gold coin after another as long as he wanted to but he could never use any of the money until he threw the purse away. He kept telling himself for years that he would use the purse only one more day, but he finally died a ragged beggar with the purse in his hand and gave it a cent. It is a true fairy story today in many cases of men to whom the chase of a dollar becomes the whole of life—Halford E. Luceck.
UNSAFE EXPERIMENT
"Judging from the utensils about him," remarked the professor, "this mummy must have been an Egyptian plumber."
"Wouldn't it be interesting," said a romantic young lady, "if we could stay here?"
"Interesting, but a bit risky," returned Professor X. "Somebody might have to pay him for his time."—Browning's Magazine.
