U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture a university of Kansas; to go forwards than merely printing the news and presenting it with certain versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be wise; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. HOW K. U. DOES IT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1917. With the news of loyalty pledges being circulated at many universities, among them Wisconsin, comes the enquiry, "Why doesn't K. U. circulate some such pledge?" The answer is simple enough. The faculty and students of the University of Kansas are not displaying loyalty in black and white. They exhibit loyalty in the true blue of sacrifice, as is evidenced by the raising of $11., 983 for the Student Relief Fund. They exhibit it in the warm glow of sympathy and brotherly love, as is evidenced by the special attentions paid to Company M at Camp Doniphan which is composed almost entirely of University men. They exhibit loyalty in the olive drab of enlisted and commissioned service and in the gray that stands behind the Red Triangle. To answer a question with a question, "How better could the University show its patriotism and loyalty than through service?" A PLEA FOR LECTURES It is supposed that the seniors with held announcing the Senior Stew to be given next Tuesday night until the recipe was approved by Hoover. A PLEA FOR LECTURES Now that the University of Kansas has taken up the plan to have an active place in the War League of American Colleges, it would seem that the right thing for the department of physical education to do is to come through with its part of the program and permit the students to attend the lectures that the Intelligence committee plans to have on various war topics. This Intelligence Committee plans to bring such widely known speakers as William Allen White, Henry J. Allen, W. Y. Morgan, and Burris Jenkins to Lawrence so that the K. U. students may hear what they have to say on the world war and the economic features of it. But they are confronted with the problem of having these famous men who have been on the actual war front come to the University and talk to empty chairs. This was the experience of the managers of the last University lecture. Under the present plan of the department of physical education students may go to these lectures only on certain days of the week and the result is that the dates of lectures make it impossible for many students to attend. We expect that the department of physical education will see the reasonableness of the plan to take some of the drill time once or twice a month so that K. U. students may get some valuable first hand information on the war and what is happening in the world. "LEVEL-HEADEDNESS NEEDED "LEVEL-HEADEDNESS NEEDED There ought to be an end of the proclamation of existing or imminent shortage of necessary commodities, and a concentration of silent effort to timulate production and distribution. What this nation needs above all things in this critical time is level-headedness. It cannot have that if there is continuance of proclamations designed to impress upon the people that within the first year of our participation in the war the problem of existence has already become difficult. —Albany Journal. CAMPUS OPINION Editor Kansan: -Albany Journal. Military training has been in progress very nearly a month, and still there has been nothing definite, so far as I have been able to ascertain, about uniforms. The training has reached a stage now when uniforms are a necessity if the drill is to be conducted in a proper manner. Are we going to a company go through its setting up exercises, or settler one, who has done it himself, knows that civilian clothes are a great hindrance. Furthermore, the rough usage is none too easy on them. A uniform can be purchased for much less than a good suit of clothes, and I believe the men would take a greater interest in their work if they were in uniform. It seems as though some action should be taken in this matter, and if I were to wear uniforms, they could at least make arrangements for us to purchase them at wholesale prices. The general sentiment seems to favor uniforms, and all that is lacking is some concentrated action to start wearing them. M. P ON OTHER "HILLS" The students at the University of Wisconsin have decided to replace their senior prom will with a bond and invest it in Liberty bonds. The proceeds will be invested in Liberty Bonds. The daily paper of Cornell University, the Cornell Daily Sum, this year for the first time appointed a woman as woman's editor of the paper. Vacations at Cornell have been made at the request of all who are to term to end May 22, instituted by The faculty voted to cut down each vacation this year several days so that men can be released for service early in the spring. Easter vacation has been entirely abstolbed, Christmas cut to eleven days, three days taken from Block days, single day vacations eliminated. No Intercollegiate Athletics The question whether or not to engage in intercollegiate athletics has again been decided in the negative at McGill. In 1915 it was decided that athletic contests with other colleges would be allowed against ante-bellum conditions, but agitation this fall brought the question up again. Four war pledges have been framed by a committee of the Economy Club at DePawu and a campaign to secure signatures will soon be under way. The pledges include abstinence from alcohol, fading fads, and the promise to discourage elaborate social functions for the duration of the war. The women of the University of Washington are really training. They turn out for target practice every week and even once a week for regular infantry drill. Cigarettes have been banned at the University of Louisiana. The school is run on a military basis, and all junior and senior battalion officers were put on their honor to report all violations of the order. Pipes and cigars are permissible.-Indiana Daily Student. Oregon Sorority girls of Oregon University refused to listen to addresses on woman suffrage attempted by two of their members at a banquet recently. The governor has appealed unsupportive, according to the Oregon Emerald.—Oklahoma Daily.

POET'S CORNER A STOCK SELLING SCHEME (By William Allen White) In a few days a stock pedestler will call on you. Watch for him. He will try to unload on you some stock in a queer corporation. The corporation is called the American Red Cross and it is a volunteer for membership. The price is small; only a dollar or such a matter. And he will tell you in his oily tongue about the dividends. But don't you be fooled! There will be no dividends except in brotherhood, and if you get into the corporation you will be stuck for assessment. If you are not sure what will come in thick and fast before this war is over. Your heart will be wrung time and again by the need of our soldiers; by the hunger and want in the families of our soldiers; by the disease and famine in Europe. And while, of course, the assessments may come and come. And you will have your choice: meet them or harden your heart. If you meet them, your life will grow. Deny them and your bank account will grow. Take your choice. Meet them or pass them. The assessments are before you, and if you succeed in passing them your whole life's destiny will hinge once the way you handle that stock. And it is a curious stock in this: the dividends, as hereinbefore stated, are in human brotherhood. From all over the earth, wherever men and women and children are in want and misery, at home, in France, in Italy, in England—even in Turkey, on occasion during this war, and forever after this war, the deep, sweet abiding gratitude of those whom we have saved and succeded. We are feeding the starving through this corporation and they will not forget it, nor their children's children. We are healing the sick—the tubercular, the undernourished—covered with sores and filth. We are housing the homeless in the devastated area of Belgium and France and Italy, the underprivileged in this country, gathering up the good will of humanity in bales and cords and shiploads and the pouring it back into America. CLASSIFIED WANTED FOR SALE - FOR RENT Now, don't you want your share? Don't you want some of these dividends? In other ages when peace shall come permanently to this world—shall come because America sowed in this great war the seeds of good governance. George Washington—the son's teeth grow—and men too old to fight, and women who could not go into battle, will say, "I was a member of the Red Cross. Here is my membership. It is a certificate from the herald's college of my nobility. You children and all of yours for generations may know that in the great Peace Corporation I was an investor. I drew mydividends in brothelhood. The assessments that came from my heart. I am proud that those joined." In, a few days the stock peddler Central Educational Bureau, St. Louis, Mo. Wants teachers.

He will try to sell you something that will make you bigger and better and kinder; something that will sting you for dividends, something that will break you in the real game of life. Watch out for that stock seller. Don't let him fool you. If you become a stockholder in his corporation it will exceedingly much of your mind's best plans, and much—exceedingly much—of the work of your hands. And all you will get out of it is your country's everlasting glory and your own soul's comfort when you show that stock peddler comes around to beware. Don't let him fool you.

Chase, Editor Topea Daily Capital, has brought us a new-brand new—idea. It's a long, long trail back to where the idea started, but the story of it is something like this. Mr. Chase's young daughter has a college chum who wrote a story about a joyous Christmas at the front. According to the story, the soldiers went wild with joy over a shipment of dolls which reached them by mistake. Thus it would appear that what our men are longing for is dolls. Retailers of dolls, get ready to supply the de- penses for the girls will all be down tomorrow to buy one for him.
