The Daily Kannan aims to picnic at the University of Kansas; to go for longer than merely printing the news by standing for the talk; to offer a variety of favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be gentle; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
NEWSPAPERS AND EDUCATION
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1917
Some one has said that a man is as well educated with his knowledge of the daily news and the opinion he has formed of it.
Recently a K. U. woman was forced to admit that she had not heard of the Italian reverse or the capture of Americans by Germans. This perhaps is typical of many K. U. women and men as well. If the other day these persons did not know of the Italian defeat, it is likely that today they are ignorant of the rapid succession of events in Russia, of the movement of the Allies toward a supreme war council, of the heroic stand of the Italians on the Piave River line, and of many other things as interesting and important.
But more than this; it is all too likely that the non-newspaper readers are the ones who are not taking the war seriously. In this light the importance of reading the newspapers cannot be over-emphasized. An intelligent preparation for victory can only be accomplished by an intelligent and informed public. The nation's newspapers have recognized that the first step toward victory is publicity. They are doing their share. The response should be unanimous, for the war has trued newspaper reading from a privilege to a duty.
SAVING PAPER?
Have you tried using small sizes of letter paper yet for your business correspondence? If you haven't you will be surprised at the neatness and business-like appearance of a letter written without the customary waste of paper. And you will have the additional satisfaction of having a hand in conservation of the paper supply. —K, C. Star.
Persons at the University are Hooverizing on food, drink, pleasures and even city water so why should not they be more economical in the use of white paper? For strict economy of the last named article the co-operation of faculty members and students is necessary. There has always been a request from professors and instructors that only one side of the paper be used.
In writing a term theme or special paper the average 2000 word article will take 10 sheets of paper, running 200 words to the sheet. If the student were permitted to use both sides of the paper, one-half of the amount would be saved. Another item will be a physical saving for the faculty members—he or she will have only half of the usual amount of paper to carry back and forth.
It is up to the University to economize financially, conserve physically and do something toward beating the white paper corporation.
There is always something to be thankful for; those who are going home tomorrow for the holiday are thankful for the opportunity to go
home and those who will remain in Lawrence are thankful for a few days of do unfinished work and to be able to sleep in the morning without the interference of the 6:30 whistl and the bugle call to breakfast.
All students desirous of a political job and fame should see to it that his county representatives organize—there is no limit to the number of offices and even if he doesn't make more than the sergeant-at-arms he will have something to write after his name when his picture appeared in the Jahywaker.
"K. U. Women have sore feet," ends a headline in the Kansan yesterday; it must be remembered that he K. U. women are not accustomed o dancing as late as 2:01 as they did friday night.
And that dignified order of Sphinx has scheduled a Yaka Hula Hop. The freshmen must maintain the reputation for being extremists.
There was considerable light thrown upon dancing at the Sophomore Hor; full reports will be made in the near future.
There is a rumor of a Russian advance upon America; Titania Romanoff, daughter of the former czar, will arrive in New York soon.
Something to be thankful for—renewed dreams of a completed Administration building.
MENTAL LAPSES
QUOTT THE RAVEN: "KNIT SOME MORE And the ladies, ever knitting Never quitting, still are sitting, Knitting things no living mortal
Ever, ever say before
And no single word they utter
Till at dusk they softly flutter
From their rockers to the door
And a voice comes from the shadow
Where they cluster near the door
" Thursday next, at half-past four."
-Exchange.
As far as women, are concerned, most men have a Prussian conscience, warranted to stretch over a multitude of lies.
When a woman binds a towel around her head it is a sign that a big day's work is beginning; when a man binds a towel around his head it is a sign that a big night's fun is ended.
—San Francisco Bulletin.
Alas, in view of a man's vanity, a woman never knows whether to be ready when he calls and thus appear to be waiting for him, or to keep him waiting and thus appear to be primming for him.—San Francisco Bulletin.
DICTIONARY OF CAMOUFLAGE
DICTIONARY OF 'CAMPAIGNAGE Conscientious Objector: The campaigner'
Girish Color: The camouflage for the four-flush of youth.
Uplift Drama; The camouflage for sensationalism.

PAINFUL SUBJECT
"Oh, it's due to idle curiosity, I suppose."
"Count, would you love me just as much if I had no money?"
"Please do not harrow my feelings so. The thought of you being without money is more than I can bear."—Birmingham Age-Herald.
"How can you ask such a question my adored one?"
he (fighting shy): "The married one."- Pearson's Weekly.
"Yes," said the nice little old lady, "I am much interested in the war. I have two nieces who are going to be Red Cross nurses, and one fine nephew who is now at Ft. Sheridan studying to be an Armenian."
Mother of four daughters, of whom one has recently married, to a young man sitting beside her in the drawing room whom she would like for a son-in-law: "And which of my girls do you admire?"

MORE THAN ONE WAY
"Everyone at the club thought my hat was lovely, dear," said Mrs. Holt with a beaming smile. "Of course it was not expensive. I only paid $22 for it, but it is quite as lovely as Mrs. Ringley, which cost her nearly $75."
"But the Ringley's are able to own a more conspicuous- pew in church than we are," faltered her husband. "Well," she exclaimed, radiant, "they can't come in any later than we can!"—Grit.
We thank Thee for our splendid youth, who fight for liberty and truth, Within whose breasts there glows anew The glover of her heart. The glover of her birth father knew.
POET'S CORNER
For strength to face the battle's might,
For men that think they might
right.
For the lure of fate.
And fortune's soft and pleasant way
Great God of all we kneel and pray,
Great God of all we kneel and pray,
THANKSGIVING
which off herbe TABITHK know,
God, make them worthy of their
servants.
We thank Thee for our mothers fair.
Who through the sorrows they must
Still smile, and give their hearts to you.
And bravely heed the day's command
That mothers, yet to be, may know
that they are dead.
O, God, we thank Thee for the skies
Where our flag now in glory flies?
We thank Thee that we of gain,
that we may have the blessing to
To bear our bounty free from strain
To keep our banner free from stain
And that we die for what is right.
O, God, we thank Thee that we may lift up our eyes to Thee today. That is why we test O, God,
With love and wisdom,
We have home and a spacious name,
And that we serve a world distressed
and troubled, our hearts filled with hope.
Edgar A. Guest.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
A flag of a thousand stars will fly from the student Union Building at Columbia Thanksgiving Day, if the plans of H. H. Kinyon, secretary, do not miscarry. The service flag will be one of the largest in the United States and will be displayed in rank from private to provost marshal. Mr. Kinyon is compiling a list of former University of Missouri students now doing war duty.
Fraternity representatives at Ohio State university followed the example of the student council by voting unanimously to abolish formal social affairs.
Women at Oberlin university have a special stand reserved for them at football games this season. They also have a special cheer leader.
Wisconsin has taken steps to eliminate peanut politics. Students campaigning for votes will be called before the student council.
