U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to pleaserly print the news of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news of the University of Kansas; to versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1917 K. U. TO THE FRONT Again the University of Kansas has proved to the state that it is equal to any task set before it. When the campaign for $11,000 for the Students' Relief Fund was started two weeks ago less than 200 students and members of the faculty felt assured that the apportionment would be raised. Townpeople said that it would be impossible for the University to raise one-third of the Lawrence apportionment which was $35,000. The city represents more than 12,000 persons; the University represents 2200 including faculty and students. The committee on the Hill had about one-fifth of the field to draw from and was expected to raise about one-third as much as Lawrence The city made its apportionment. The University exceeded its apportionment by $83.40, making a total of $11,983.40. READY TO SERVE The faculty and students of the University are to be congratulated and the promotion force that made the success possible are to be commended for their untiring interest and ability to handle the situation. The latest step to keep students informed on current topics and necessarily broadening his scope is the placing of the large bulletin boards in the various buildings on the campus. Every day interesting data and illustrations of the war are placed on the boards and every effort is made to see that the news is kept up to date. Each week digests of the news of the preceding week is posted and special writers follow the events of the day for the news bulletins. There are many things to be learned at the University besides those things in text books. The broadening of his view-point may do as much for a student as would reading half of the books in the library. Learning to meet people and to impress them may be worth all of the technical courses a student could take. Students should appreciate the trouble that is gone through in keeping the news timely. They should take advantage of the service and include the examination of the board in their daily recreations. They should take pride in being informed on the topics of the day and here is that opportunity. CAUSE FOR WORRY The decision was reached some time ago that uniforms were not to be compulsory. No kick was made on that and students in the drill classes continued to go to classes in street clothes. Now comes the latest extreme in giving exercise. Last week students rolled playfully over the golf links at the direction of the training officers. Their clothes were no doubt damaged to say nothing of their feelings. The exercise could as well be given in a sane method with certainly as good results. It may seem a small matter to call attention to but it is these little points that cause dissatisfaction when there is really nothing to be gained by letting them take place. Billeendsdaktebloat is what happened to Stockholm, Sweden, on account of the war. It isn't a plague, or an army, or a peace society, but the name of a new corporation organized for spinning and weaving fabrics out of paper. Some of the men are complaining of sore muscles and stiff joints due to the setting up exercises in military drill. Perhaps, if the request were made the Senate would start a checker or mumble-ppe company for these unfortunate peers. "There is no royal road to learning." Neither is there any elevator to the fifth floor of Fraser Hall. CAMPUS OPINION To the Editor of the Kansan: It is evident that there is an air famine at K. U. At a time when there are many cases of measles, sore throats and other contagious sickness it would be a wise move if the faculty would co-operate with the Board of Health and make an effort to keep some resemblance of ventilation in class rooms. The majority of students prefer to keep wraps on during classes and lectures than to be for- ced to breathe the same air that per- manently causes severe breathal- hundreds of times. If nothing else can be done, can't the rooms be thor- ughly aired for ten minutes between classes? Another suggestion is that the student take it upon himself to see that there is more good air. Let the student close the windows be opened or do it himself. Stifled Student Columbia University's annual report for the year ending June 30, disclosed for the first time that the navy department has formally established at the University the United States navy gas engine school, under direction of Professor Lucke, and that several hundred men are being trained for engineering service on submarine chasers. Hereafter all non-athletic activities will be under the supervision of a board of supervision for non-athletic organizations which has just been established at the Princeton university. The board is responsible for trained before any such society is formed and before any performances are given.

"I'll see that you never go to prison with that sum." "Sixty thousand dollars." "So it is.
