The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news of their varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be curious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to help the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1917
REAL CHRISTMAS
Let's remove the camouflage from Christmas this year and have this greatest of all of the holidays in the form in which it originated. The real spirit of Christmas, sacrifice, has been hidden for years under fanciful ideas, ostentatious giving, useless work and planning, in fact under anything that would leave an impression entirely contrary to the teachings of the Master of Sacrifice whose birthday is recognized world-wide.
Let this year mark the place in your life at which you learned to live. Let this year start the first active world-wide work of a life time. Let this year mark the first real boost to aid humanity.
There are a few days over three weeks to shed the slazy covering of personal be-tissued gifts and make the Christmas of 1917 the first real holiday for generations. There are the same number of days to dress Christmas in sacrifices for Red Cross work, Baby War Bonds and donations for the home company's box that goes to camp.
UNIVERSITY SERVICE FLAG
Again let this be the year to learn to give and give properly and thereby learn to live and live properly.
Eight-hundred and sixty-one stars are now on the service flag of the University of Missouri, and more will have to be added for men in service whose names have just been reported to the Missouri Union which is making the military census. Dedication of the university's service flag by President A. Ross Hill was one of the features of the Thanksgiving alumni homecoming. Lists of those in the different branches of war service were given in the Missouri Alumnus. A large number of university men were among those who received commissions at the second Ft. Sheridan camp.
This report comes from a Missouri paper simultaneously with an announcement from the Hill that the University of Kansas has made arrangements to fly service flags. It will be somewhat difficult to get the names of every student represented in the service without the co-operation of every student in the University. If you know the address and branch of service of any student in Uncle Sam's large family take that name to the dean of the school in which you are working or to the Kansan office and it will be recorded.
Everybody out and everybody help.
If one prefers to be rich, he has but to suit his wishes to his means, and then he can have what he wants, and what more can anyone ask. Carlyl calls attention to the fact that unity divided by nothing equals infinity which is merely one of the paradoxes among which floats our little island of knowledge.-Unpopular Review.
It has been the custom for years for many women to learn to swim each summer; these same women who, have danced every winter that they have been in K. U. will have to go to the Wednesday night dancing school now that the adviser of women says that it will not be against the rules for those who are learning to dance.
Now that Phi Beta Kappa has elected and the Jayhawker editors have made appointments the seniors will report to classes and get down to real work.
There are only 17 shopping days to get ready for a giftless Christmas.
A gossipless day might save a sleepless night.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The University of Iowa is planning to help reclaim armed soldiers. When the soldier's injuries prevent his return to war or to the vocation which he followed before the war, the man has to make the decision to return to University to determine, through tests, for what kind of work he could be fitted.
Four new buildings are being built on the Nebraska campus. The new ones are Nebraska Hall, Chemistry Hall, Bassey Hall and a Social Service building. These buildings are to be completed by the second semester.
Smallpox epidemic has threatened the University of Nebraska. Every student must be inoculated or show proof that he has been inoculated in the past year before he could enter college. In 1904, 68 percent of the students that are ill attended classes while in a well developed stage of the disease.
Prehistoric Beasts On Museum's Walls
Students who have not been through the west corridor of the top floor of the Museum are missing an opportunity of seeing the new pictures of huge animals that inhabited the earth thousands of years ago. H. T. Martin, curator, will show students through.
"In order to make these restorations," said Mr. Martin, "hard and tedious work has been done both in the field and laboratory. The field collector first locates the fossils by carefully searching the exposures for small fragments of bone. These fossiments are followed up to their age, which very often shows as only a thin layer of material very similar to the formation in which they are found and are hard to be observed.
"After making the find where the specimen enters the cliff, work begins with pick and shovel, sometimes tons of material must be removed before access is gained to the specimen. It may take several days to remove, then trenches are worked all around the blocks and undermined as far as possible. This binds the pieces tightly together. When they become dry they are raised up in clear blocks until they can be loaded ready to ship to the Museum for the finishing touches in the laboratory.
"The laboratory work requires great skill and patience. Sometimes weeks are spent on one specimen, preparing it for exhibition.
"The rocky material in which the specimen is embedded is removed and the bones are hardened and any missing portions are restored with plaster paris. Then the skeleton is mounted in as natural a position as possible. Drawings are made of the mounted skeleton and outlines are worked out showing where the flesh was once present.
"The photographs shown on the pannels in the Museum are the results of this carefully worked out system. No amateur work is done in these pictures, and photoographs of now totally extinct animals as life like as possible.
THE SEA GYPSY
I am fevered with the sunset,
I am fretful with the bay.
For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay.
I must forth again tomorrow!
With the sunset I must be
Hull down on the tran of rapture
In the wonder of the sea
Bord Hovey
There's a schooner in the offing,
With her topsails shot with fire,
And my heart has gone abroad her
For the Islands of Deare.
MOTHER
With empty hand,
Perhaps the ripening future holds a time.
I have praised many loved ones in my
soup
And yet I stand
Before our shrine, to all things
helping.
For things unsaid;
Not now; men do not celebrate it
Their daily bread.
—Thercsa Helburn.
Have you noticed that the Hill is much more populated in the after- moons than it used to be, and that the Hill was much more little infested than they were.
Just a three-weeks drive again Von Lesson and then peace by Christmas, and I had to leave.
But rumor has it that the peace won't last.

And if you are mathematician enough, you can finally arrive at the conclusion that Sherman was right.
The uniforms that the officers on the Hill are wearing have had the desired effect. (?)
There is many a college student who believes what he believes.
The war isn't the only thing that has engagements—take a peek around the Hill.
And some of these submarines sink without warning, too.
