The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students of Kansas to go further than merely pruning the news media in Kansas; to go further than merely pruning the news media in Kansas; to play no favorables; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be happy; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
A CHANCE FOR ALL
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1917.
Every day the Kansan tells of upperclassmen who have been active in the management of University activities leaving school to take their places in the nation's training schools for war. When the next call for the national army comes, the University will probably face conditions similar to those last spring.
Who is to keep school activities going during the war? The answer must come from the freshmen and sophomores. It is a great opportunity for the first and second year men, and yet at the same time it is a great responsibility. Those who cheerfully fill the places of the upperclassmen to the limit of their ability will find themselves qualified for any larger service their country may eventually ask of them.
DOWN TO WORK.
For the moment, at least, the men of the University of Kansas are not worrying. The storm has passed. December 15 has gone, and with it, practically the last opportunity for voluntary enlistment. Those who planned to enter the service voluntarily have done so. They have it over and are not worrying.
Those who are of draft age and did not avail themselves of the proffered opportunity have resigned themselves to the inevitable with a show of good grace. Temporarily they have ceased to fret.
Those who were not of draft age, yet were thrown into the excitement created by the never-ending agitation of their older associates, are now settling down and thinking for themselves. They find little to worry them, except work.
True there is still enough unrest to keep one continually on the edge, but the big wave has passed and K. U. should once more assume something of a normal mental attitude. Studies have been neglected, and hours and hours of valuable time wasted. Professors as well as students have felt the results of the disquieted atmosphere.
Students should now set themselves to the task of making the most of the time which remains to them to finish their education. Those who have elected to remain behind to pursue further their schooling have presumably chosen work as their alternative. They should attend to it as seriously, and with as great a consistency as those who have gone to fight for the nation will be compelled to attend their duties, for, be it either work or fight, the nation expects every man to do his duty.
DO YOU READ?
It takes no long search among ones acquaintances to find a person who "has no time to read." When this confession comes from a University student, it is indeed an indictment against our methods of study.
The man who cuts an after-dinner discussion on the merits of the Missouri Valley football team in two and thus saves a few minutes to spend with Plato, or Tennyson, or even a good magazine writer will soon find his store of knowledge greatly increased.
A spare half hour spent browsing among the books in Spooner Library will yield a great amount of pleasure. One may choose books here and there, read them a dozen times, and find something new and worth while in them each time.
K. U. Botanists Puzzle
Over Queer Persimmons
Prof. C. A. Shull Plans to De velop California Seedless Variety In Kansas
Four seedless persimmons have been sent from California to the department of botany of the University for examination, preliminary to an attempt to grow the fruit here. The specimens are much larger than the common variety found here, being about two inches in diameter. The rest are smaller. The Botany Club at the meeting of the club next Tuesday.
A woman in Oroville, Cal., heard that the botany department at K. U., was trying to evolve a seedless persimmon, a rumor that was unfounded, and wrote to the department last spring, saying that she had seedless seeds from the plant. As the season was too late for successful grafting, Prof. C. A. Shull engaged specimens of the fruit to be sent here this fall. Next spring he expects to send for scions to graft on some trees of the common, seed variety. He also is going to plant persimmons seeds to get small treasures of nuts. The experts of botany will try to determine why the persimmons sent here are seedless.

Ice Skating is Popular
Ice skating may be a popular past sport again at the club. A large number of students are skating on Potter's Lake Sunday afternoon. This seems to be the only available and safe place in town. Students have been flocking there during the past week. As far as is known very few students are going to the for Harold's dealers all report the sale of skates as brisk during the past week of cold weather.
