The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate of an asante; to go farther than merely printing the news in newspapers; to preserve university versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to all, to serve to help the university the students of the University.
MONDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1917.
What the men of the University of Kansas could and would do in the present great war has been proved by the enlistment of hundreds in various branches of the service; many of whom left school immediately upon the declaration of war and some of whom have seen actual service on the French line.
K. U. WOMEN AND THE WAR
What the women of the University could and would do was not proved until last week when the campaign for $11,000 for the Student Friendship Fund was begun. According to the committee of faculty members in charge the success of the movement was due to the work and generosity of women of the University.
Realizing that the number of men enrolled in school greatly exceeded the number of women, the promotion force was appointed accordingly; about 30 per cent of the men responded to the call of duty and sacrifice; 90 per cent of the women responded and stained on the job until it was finished. A greater per cent of women pledged than did men and the women's pledges averaged much more. To quote one prominent man on the Hill, "the women have saved the reputation of the University."
What the women of the University have done can be repeated when the country demands another work as great or greater, if it can be such, the women of Kansas will do all that is expected and more. The men of the University can go out to fight for the cause of democracy with the feeling that their co-workers are fighting with them even if it be indirectly.
WHY THE WAR?
Of course every one knows what caused the war. Nothing could be simpler. It was the murder of the Archduke; it was the menace of Panslavism; it was German militarism; it was the Frenchman's passion for revenge; the Englishman's jealousy of German enterprise; the Kaiser's obsession for "World Empire or Downfall;" it was caused by the jingo press, by the scheming money power, by military cliques, by economic competition, by a gloomy Malthusian outlook, by underhanded diplomacy, by the blindness of popular ignorance, by the prevalence of "free thought" and socialism, by the wickedness of variously identified Sodoms and Gomorrahs, or even by the dread inevitableness of certain apocalyptic biblical prophecies—Unpopular Review.
USELESS GIFTS
By this time it seems that our Christmas must inevitably be the same hurried, tumultuous, weary and costly thing that it has always been. We must rush hither and thither, dazed by a strange medley of undesirable objects, and daunted by the prices asked for them. We must storm postoffices, and stand in line before the digsy desks of express
companies. We must waste money and strength and time and temper, turning the great feast of the Christian year into a hard scramble for gifts. We must walk down the streets and ask ourselves fearfully what intuitions are coming our way in return for the intuitions we send forth. We must do what we have always done, and wonder, as usual, why we do it.
Here at least is room for practical reform. The call for nation wide economy is not a meaningless word. It represents a real and bitter need. Waste of money, waste of raw material, waste of man power and woman power, all help to bring disaster. We might and we should resolve that this Christmas we will buy—for adults—nothing absolutely useless. Useful gifts are more difficult to find and to fit; they are more homey than the glittering trumpery spread on the Christmas counters; but their purpose is known, their dignity apparent, their welcome well assured. Youth's Companion.
ANOTHER CAMPUS PEST
The most disliked and shunned campus pest arrived last Wednesday morning in the shape of the professor who wished the students a joyous holiday and then assigned a quizz for the Monday following.
Those who had fears that the Christmas holidays would begin a week or two earlier because of a coal shortage will be delighted to know that there is no danger of a coal famine at K. U. John Shea, superintendent of grounds, announces that there will be no necessity for students in the University to go to bed to keep warm like the students in Tennessee did for a good supply of coal is on hand.
Our sincere sympathy and best wishes go out to the students enrolled in that history course called Modern Europe.
ON OTHER "HILLS"

"Do you know anything about figures?" asked the captain.
"Is this the best man you can find?"
"ask the officer."
"OK."
"Well," growled to the captain, "suppose I'll have to put up with him." Turning to the private he snapped, "What were you in civilian life?"
