With this issue, the Daily Kansan will more announces a change in the personnel of its staff. But, change or change, it will continue to be the daily Kansan, giving all the news partially, playing no favorites, and endowing to serve, above all, a student body of the University of Kansan.
THE TROUBLED MIND
The eleventh hour has come to the lege man of America,—unbidden, sought. He is alone in the garn, as it were, and his problem is mplex. Small wonder that he isinking as he never thought before! Upon his decision awaits the fure of his life history, and it is hisfortune that he is compelled toscrew quickly. Mars is calling him the defense of Democracy. Hisoblem is to heed or not to heed. Ifheeds, there is the futurequestion how he shall make his servicesut valuable.
In the case of many, the Selectiveraft has simplified the puzzle bydeeing that he who is fit shallgo at there are many, again, whopre voluntary enlistment to compulsion. Some are qualified for branchof the service into which it is imobable the draft will throw themhat shall they do? December 15is been named the day afterwhichere shall be no more enlistmentfor e average college man of draft age,which means the virtual end of choiceTo add to the befuddlementcomedrends of friendly advisers withas any varieties of admonition. Somey for enlistment, immediate andtisingy. Others plead thatweick to the knitting and load upwith education." "Let the draft catchyou,"ey insist, "it is the prescribedmew, there is always a place fore man with the education." Hownsolling! But the problem remains.For every man the decision mustme from within. It is his individualbattle, and by him it is wonelost. To use the phraseology ofegiridron, let every man keephisad, find his hole, and then.Hit It.
LET OTHERS KNOW
Hundreds of weight questions are being discussed on the Hill these days. Every student has opinions and most of them are worthy of conderation. By simple word-to-mouth publication, however, sentiment selpm crystalizes into anything subantial, and, as a result, student opinion remains divided and the student body continues powerless to advance a concrete propaganda upon any subject.
The Daily Kansan conducts for its student readers, a column designed to meet this need. In it anyone may air is views upon any subject of student interest. Contributions are gladly received, and space is given ungrudgingly, for the Kansan realizes the alue of discussion. If you have an lea, give it form, and we will print . Keep K. U. abreast of the times!
Don't let your dollar be a slacker. The Trift Stamp which is issued in denominations of from twenty-five cents to five dollars is within the reach of every student. These stamp bear four per cent compound interest and are practically government bonds
Hilltop Philosophy
To define complete one could go to the Soph Hop report for reference.
To pay attention isn't very expensive.
But a great number of students don't seem to be able to afford it.
An invariable rule is that it takes a letter sent to receive a letter these days.
Take care of the day's work and the quizzes will take care of them-selves.
The student has yet to learn the lesson of preparedness when he goes to class.
General Athletics will now concentrate an attack upon a new line the enemy basketball teams.
There will be many jobs open here Christmas according to the Kansan but who's going to be here then?
Soon will the time for those "cigars that wife gives for Christmas gifts" and "father pays all the bills" jokes again.
One of the most regrettable features of the recent cold snap was that the proverbial Saturday night bath failed to materialize.
Cross country season is over, and no longer will we have to shiver in sympathy as we did when we saw the start off on a jaint each evening.
Military drill is finding a few enusiastic supporters. The tailors ask that repair work is plantiful as they repair equally exuberant is another question.
"Don't waste time studying" may be the words of a Kansas professor, but at that he doesn't mean it literally. Woe be it to the busy student who only has time to read head-lines n the Kansan.
Christmas presents should be started a week earlier this season. Uncle Sam is very accommodating, but he is not likely to sledtrack supplies to his soldiers in order to make way for Christmas gifts.
Students may be divided on some questions, but one could easily get a unanimous vote in the affirmative on the propositions of compulsory military drill for faculty men, and for a two weeks vacation Christmas.
Now that the atmosphere begins to suggest the coming of the Yuletide, we must not forget that a Christmas remembrance will be appreciated by our boys of Company M down at Doniphan.
Since the Kansas Natural has so kindly kicked in with its annual flasco, we now can be perfectly content to bask in the warmth of old Spooner and catch up with those belated library readings.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Kansan:
One M. P., writing in your Campus Opinion column has expressed himself as follows on the subject of uniforms for military drill: "The general sentiment seems to favor uniforms, and all that is lacking is some concentrated action to start wearing them."
Undoubtedly the writer has the best of intentions and his assertions about the inconvenience of civilian clothes are well-taken, but I think he has over-stepped his mark when he says that uniforms are desired or generally favored. I take it that he means the compulsory wearing of them.
He seems to forget that a large percentage of the men still on the Hill are putting up a hard fight to even remain in school this year. We must pinch and give on every hand. We are asked to support every movement that is started. I ask it is economy to lay down all the money for those questions? He answers such a challenge with a statement that a uniform will cost less than a good suit of clothes.
It is my opinion that if he will take the trouble to do a little investigating and really ascertain the real sentiments at an entirely different conclusion.
Of course it is all well and good to take the material needed for these uniforms from the soldiers. They needn't need 'em. Come again brother, don't need 'em.
Again I ask does he presume to argue that we all will have to buy a new suit? Few students buys suits at this time of the year and nearly everyone has purchased his wardrobe anyway.

Two classes from the department of home economics went to Kansas City Friday to further this part of their education by seeing some of the various industrial plants in operation. One class in Teacher's Training visited schools and inspected their departments of domestic science and art. The class in Economic Uses, under the direction of Miss Sybil Woodruff, visited the packing houses and other industrial plants.

"I think a man derives his mentality and character from his mother," remarked the student of heredity.
"The Kaiser is undoubtedly in a bad fix," remarked the chatty man; one not so easy to get out of as that the city youngster found himself in on the farm. He was up on top of a tall haystack and shouted to the farmer: "Say, Mr. Barnes, how am I goin' to get down?"
"The farmer considered the problem, and finally solved it.

The University can boast of several Venues and many rivals of Juno. The weight varies from 86 pounds to 186 pounds. The height ranges from 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches. Do not be misled. It is the shortest that weighs least for the tallest that weighs the most.
Guess who are the lightest, the heaviest, the tallest, the shortest, the oldest, and the youngest women in the University. Of course it would be entirely too personal to give their names but just watch and observe and perhaps the mystery can be solved.
The average weight of a girl 4 feet 10 inches is about 130 pounds. In this case however the shortest weighs about 130 pounds, and the tallest jump is about 5 feet 2 inches. The tallest falls far below the 168 goal.
The youngest one enrolled is 16 years old. The oldest is 49 years old. Sh! Now another dark secret is going to be divulged. About twenty five per cent of the women refuse to put the date of their birth on their registration cards. Others forget from year to year just what dates they have put down in previous years. One senior has four dates of birth. One junior has eighteen when she entered the University and graduates this spring, after a full four year course, at the immature age of twenty. See the advantage of going to college? Time has evidently listened to her earnest plea of "Backward, turn backward, oh Time in Thy flight."
Supt. V. M. Liston of the Oswego high school was at the University yesterday trying to find a teacher to ill a vacancy in that school.

By all means get the latest and best; the most modern machine, The Universal Standard—Single Shift key board with 42 keys adapted by all colleges and modern methods of teaching.
