The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new edition; to hold certain university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be good; to teach students to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.

EDUCATION VS. BRAWN
Voluntary enlistment for students of draft age will soon be closed. To those who have not enlisted comes this word of advice from the leaders of constructive thought who have viewed the national necessities in their broader aspects; college men should hesitate to enlist as privates in branches of the national service, in which their training as compared to mere muscular power, is of little value. College men have been educated at the expense of the states as future resources. The men thus educated are wasting a part of this money and a part of the future wealth of the states if they undertake work that requires less effort than that which they are trained to do.
There are many forces at work in this country, moreover, that aim to deter the progress of the country. The men who compose such forces, however, will not be found in the army except when compelled to be there by the draft, but they will be decidedly evident after the war. Many trained minds will be necessary to curb these vitiating influences in check during the period of reconstruction. That is self-evident.
University men are not cowards, as has been shown by the number of enlistments. Neither are they seekink to avoid the draft. But they should learn England's lesson, and be patient. Positions requiring all varieties of skill and intelligence will be plentiful, and the college man will not be overlooked in filling them.
NEMESIS WALKS AGAIN
There seems to be a tendency on the part of students who take responsible positions in student activities to sacrifice their studies in order to do their best by the organizations that depend upon their services. Often these leaders of school affairs are adverse to taking time from their school work, but the organizations with which they are connected demand their time and energy. They are told that no one else can fill their place.
One result invariably follows. The Eligibility Committee sweops down, just as the work of the organization reaches a delicate stage, and demands the resignation of several important officers who are not doing satisfactory class work. Inexperienced men must fill their positions, and in the shake-up improper feelings between the University authorities and the students are likely to result.
As long as the University eligibility rules remain as they are, there is only one answer to this situation. Students must do satisfactory class work.
Everyone will profit in the long run if organizations would not ask more than a reasonable amount of time and work from any member. The side issues are important, but they should
not obcure the real purposes of the University.
THE LITTLE THINGS AGAIN
The University Hospital is having a grand time trying to keep a supply of medicine bottles on hand. Bottles, it seems are very hard to get and are expensive as well. The authorities now urge that students return the bottles to the hospital and thus reduce the constantly rising expense account. Take back your bottle! It's the little things that count.
PIGS AND DOGS
It is not so bad to be idle if there are animals to watch. I like to watch pigs in the same way that I like to look at caricatures which are brutally grotesque. Pigs are not fools, either. They are too greedy and fishish to be fools. Moreover, they are always a little bit suspicious, and they care about their sly little eyes, and exchange monosyllable comments with each other, like so many bloated old men in a club window.
Dogs interest me in a different way. By nature they are as amiable and trusting as pigs are sly and skeptical. They are like meek people who go through life trying to be friendly to everyone, yet being continually ill used. Their hearts are full of kindness, and they begin life by running up to every one, following every one unanticipated. As the dog grows older they discover that many people are cruel and if they had any philosophy they would learn that it is to the meek that people are cruelest because it is safe to be cruel to the meek. But instead of learning something definite about humanity, dogs—I speak of stray dogs—become more and more baffled by life as it goes on. They make neither head nor tail of it. They never learn to judge charisma or the affair of kidnapping and sometimes less afraid of those who are unkind; if you speak to them they cringe and slink disgracefully. But the disgrace is not theirs; it is the disgrace of man, who has missed them.
That is the depressing side of dogs; but they have another side which is amusing: A little group of dogs meeting, making first estimates of one another, becoming acquainted, growing enthusiastic over the acquaintance, discussing dog news, breaking into a sudden extravagant pantomime play, playing in the amusement馆, holding a grave conference, forming a committee of inspection to investigate the neighborhood, trotting with inane solemnity from one place to another, now across the road, now back again, now around the corner, up the alley, back again, into a vacant lot, back to the sidewalk, on for a little distance, then across the road with friends, with the air of being easily engaged with definite affairs, affairs of great importance—a group of dogs engaged in business of this kind is to me an endless source of delight.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
University Women at Michigan will dress dolls for the poor children of Ann Marohr. They are working under character designer of committee of the University, Y, W, C. A.
The Columbia Spectator of Columbia University has organized the Spectator Viantlates, who will unearth all that subservient to their college paper.
A Married Students' Club has been formed at the University of Indiana which, they say, is conducted "without any supervision" or did mails or other unmarried students."
Fifteen members of the Nebraska University club in Honolulu, Hawaii, held an "N" banquet recently. All the students from school last May to enter the service.
"Letters of cheer" will be substituted by the women of Texas *U.* for Christmas gifts. "More thought of where money is going during the war times," is said to be the incentive back of the "Letter Christmas."
Without Directories— No Address for Her
If the poor stude wants to get "her" home address for use this Christmas, he will have to either come straight out and ask her or use some Sherlock Holmes method in finding someone from her home town who knows, for no student directories will be published this year, the state rater says.
As a result of the state printer's heartless edict the registrar's force is working much harder than ever, because students call up continually asking for addresses that they found last year in the little book that they paid ten cents for at the beginning of the semester, a student council has trying to get one out, but as this would cost twenty-five cents a copy the idea has been abandoned, and addresses will continue to be a source of mystery.
POET'S CORNER
Only a dad with a tired face,
coming home from the daily race.
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played
Only a dad with a brood of four,
'one of ten million men or more'
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Gearing the whips and the scorns of
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home
know
game;
but glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
ONLY A DAD
Only a dad, mother rich nor proud,
their children surging crowd, trio,
training, arriving at the stage.
Pacing whatever may come his way;
standing still, quietly and firmly.
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only a dad, but he gives his all.
To smooth. the way for his children
being with courage store and grim
history, this is the line that for him I once
saw in the window.
—By Edgar Guest.
A studyless day brings many worry more days.
Some professors call on you when they think you can answer; others when they know you cannot.
The survival of the fittest is a heartless law, but it seems to work when Fourteenth street is covered with ice.
The biggest slacker is the man who doesn't live up to his own ideals.
Revise the old.adage. Do not mind your own business to the extent that you do not know what is going on in the world.
The University is a great thoughtful place to study. It offers a wealth of knowledge while you are here.
Anything that has for a price tag, "hard and consistent work," is usually worth while.

Total Eclipse of Moon
Morning of December 28
The moon will be in total eclipse from about 2 o'clock in the morning of December 28 to about 5:30 o'clock. The middle will be reached at 3:45 o'clock. The total eclipse, however, will last only sixteen minutes.
"This will be the seven eclipse this year," said Prof. E. B. Stouffer of the mathematics department. "There can be only seven eclipses in a year and 1917 will have seen three of the seven." The eclipse is remarkable in the fact that it lasts only sixteen minutes, which is an exceedingly short duration."
