The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate, or 'government', to go further than merely printing the news from bookstores; to hold students; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be compassionate; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

A COMMENDABLE MOVE
The recent move of the University authorities to secure the permission to raze old North College is indeed commendable. For years the building has been an eye-sore, a menace to public safety, and a disgrace to the University. Since it was condemned and the students of the School of Fine Arts compelled to move out, it has become even worse—it is positively a nuisance. The sooner it is pulled down the better, and there is only one regret; namely; that State Manager Kimball has been too occupied with his twenty odd state institutions to see to the matter before.
STICK OR FIGHT, WHICH?
With the declaration of war between the United States and Austria-Hungary comes the realization that the deadlock between the German automatic war machine and the mighty forces of Great Britain, France, and Italy cannot be broken until the United States can bring the full weight of her armies against the German lines. In the meantime, hundreds of young men from the University of Kansas and thousands of young men from the universities all over the land will be called to fill the ranks of the great national army.
The nation does demand, however,
that every student realize his responsibilities and enter into work or war with spirit and determination. The day of the slovenly student is past.
The indifferent student must either right about face or make room for a man who has the spirit of the times.
The question frequently arises as to whether it is good for young men of military age to remain in school. It is true that the government in its preparations to put a great army in the field has demanded the services of many men, but whether all young men of military age should discontinue school work is still a mooted question.
DOWN TO HARDPAN
Believing that students talk more and practice less economy than is necessary, the Student Council back at Ohio State has evolved a set of ten commandments for the direction of students that is interesting in its possibilities. It is, at least, an attempt to put economy into practical, backyard language. The big ten are:
1. Don't get a new suit unless you really need it.
2. Don't give expensive Christmas presents. It's the thought that counts.
3. Don't send flowers. They never match her dress.
4. Buy less candy. Our allies need the sugar.
5. Shine your own shoes—the exercise will do you good.
6. Sit upstairs at the theater—you can see just as well.
8. Stay at home one week-end—it may help that term paper.
7. Smoke cheaper tobacco—you are lucky to have any.
9. Don't pay $12 for shoes—cheap

er ones wear just as well.
10. Don't buy a new dress for every dance.
These are only a few of the don't which college students could observe with little discomfort to themselves, but which would mean a considerable saving in the economy line.
CONVERTING THE CLUB
To impress the students of the State Normal School that food conservation is not only worth while but necessary, instructors in the department of home economics recently visited the boarding clubs and talked to the students while they ate.
Here is an example of effort that
writes "somewhere." Whether
Here is an example of effort that "getting somewhere." Whether the talks did any good or not, the spirit which prompted them will win out in the end.
Such talks might be given at K. U. boarding clubs, but this plan need not necessarily be followed, the one essential thing being to catch the spirit which apparently has invaded the Normal. The rest will come easy.
K. U. boarding clubs are interested in food conservation. The evidence accumulates. But there are few outward signs that the students are as interested as they should be. A little enthusiasm now and then, taking the form of encouragement to boarding-house keepers, would be better evidence that another State School is in the war.
DO IT NOW
There are several county clubs that have failed to reorganize this year for some unaccountable reason. Either the leading lights in the organizations have entered the service or those behind have not felt it incumbent upon them to take up the none-too-pleasant task of herding the indifferent flock together — something is wrong.
Now the greatest work that a country can do is that which is accomplished during the holidays. Those counties, as a consequence, which have not organized must do so during the next few days or else the weight of their influence will be lessened. Anyone can call a meeting and the rest is simple. Do it now while the opportunity awaits.
Indiana University has taken up the service flag idea and will attempt to raise the purchase price by dime con-
version. Y. M. is backing the movement there.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The Daily Illini has promulgated a set of qualifications for the perfect man, based upon the woman's point of view. But what's the use? Don't the woman be careful? We weasley creatures up here in Kansas are neither perfect nor men?
Back at Colgate the students are very busy working out a new constitution for the Student's Association.
Miami College, located at Oxford, Ohio, has the unique distinction of turning out the second all-victorious football team in two years. The Big Reds were not scored upon this season.
Texas U. bonates an organization a sharp bunch of fellows. Must be a sharp bunch of fellows.
Alumni of the University of Iowa now maintain in Paris a hotel dedicated solely to the idea of giving their former students and other college men a place on campus so they can do lounges, a place to get together and renew their college friendships.
Drake has solved the Belgian relief question by conducting an Old Shoe Special, which is neither an excursion train nor a public sale, but rather a sort of parade which, headed by the University Face firemen, makes a visit to the parade ground for porchage of the vicinity and returns laden down with worn but serviceable shoes.
A system of voluntary military drill has been proposed and adopted at the University of Colorado, and it is being taken up with great enthusiasm. Perhaps the voluntary idea is helping things along.
Illinois University has an exhibit of war relics comprising everything from a French machine gun to German culinary sausage grinder. Why could not Kansas have a similar collar design? It would permanent in the new Administration building. Illinois men in the trenches did the work of collecting.
POET'S CORNER
Smiles are cheap and so is cheer
and laughter. And no matter what your tone,
and no matter what your text, the building
will be a place of joy.
ROUTING CARE
If you can't be very jolly
you can.
Let no bit of medicine
Overcome your smiling plant
When you'd cry, resolve to laugh-
Trouble hates a sounding rafter
like you will turn to craft.
When you face his frown with
laughter.
