The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the University of Kansas; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

WHOSE DISCARD?
Vandalism at the old North College has been permitted and encouraged to the extent that the situation now demands instant attention from the University authorities.
When the department of music evacuated the building last winter it was abandoned forever. The mistake was not in its abandonment, but in the failure to take immediate steps to wreck it and dispose of the material in the form of salvage.
But no such steps were taken then, nor have been since. All that can be said of the first home of the University of Kansas is that it was abandoned, and that the building was left a standing invitation for vandals and junkers to come in and do their worst. Today, broken glass litters the floors and surrounding grounds. Not a window pane has been spared. The challenge of the unprotected building has been accepted. If the wreck has not been stripped of everything valuable it contains, it is owing to the fact that the manuraders have assumed for themselves more honesty than the University authorities have of responsibility.
But there are other reasons as potent. North College has served the University of Kansas since 1866. It has served faithfully and well. It has a warm place in the hearts of hundreds of alumnae. But its usefulness is over. North College is dead, and sentiment, respect, and common sense, demand that it be given a decent burial.
Rowdyism has gone a long way toward the destruction of North College. It has at last, made its authorized dismantling imperative. Such a step should be taken if for no other reason than that the University could use the material to advantage, or realize a tidy sum from its sale.
There is always something worth while at the movies now—the war tax.
K. U.'S ADVERTISEMENT
It pays to advertise. Perhaps it does but only when you have the goods to back your advertising. Within the next 48 hours at least 1500 students will leave the University of Kansas to return to the home town and will see persons they have known for years, many who are anticipating going to some school as soon as they finish high school. Of course the returning student wants to do his or her bit for K. U. during the four day holiday. There is no better way to do that bit than to be a shining example of what the University really stands for.
Even those students who have been here only three months have imbibed a certain dignity from association with glorious Alma Mater; don't let that dignity be transformed into an assumed superiority during the trip home. Take the true spirit of the institution back, the spirit of sacrifice, of understanding, of obedience, of alertness, of willingness and last but not least the spirit of democracy that make it possible for schools such as the University to exist. These qualities will make those 1500 advertisements of sterling worth and the results will be a hundred fold greater with three telling benefits; one for the students, one for the home folk and one for the University.
DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY
There are just 25 more shopping days until Christmas and of course you have been thinking and studying over the kind of a Christmas that would be appropriate. Another person has given his thought to the kind of Christmas that would be most appropriate; it was no less than Henry Van Dyke and he has called it, "A Red Cross Christmas." The particulars are as follows:
To those who feel poor:
We are a large family.
This world-war made in Germany, against which we are fighting, has sent our incomes down and our expenses up.
The pinch hurts, but it is not going to kill us.
We still have enough and something to spare.
Though we feel poor, don't let us be impoverished by selfish fear!
Let us save in food, in service, in clothes, in luxuries and joy-rides,- but not in money!
Let us use that by giving it to save the wounded, the suffering, our friends, our country!
Let us keep Christmas this year by keeping up the Red Cross!
Then it will not be a poor Christmas, but a rich Christmas to our hearts.
(Signed) Henry Van Dyke.
Never will the meals at the boarding clubs and restaurants taste as good as they will tomorrow and Wednesday. Hash all camofloughed with Thanksgiving plans at home will taste like ambrosia of the gods.
Another reason why we are glad to be students at the University of Kansas-students at the University of Nebraska can not give nor attend dances until the epidemic of smallpox is under control.
Sound waves made visible says the Scientific American. If it's true the next generation won't need ears any more than this generation needed an appendix.
Professor Patterson wants all freshmen to see their advisers before Thanksgiving. It is presumed that the freshman will know just how to bet on the Missouri game after these conferences.
Lady (entering bank, very businesslike): I wish to get a Liberty Loan Bond for my husband.
MENTAL LAPSES

"There's a great deal to be said on both sides." he asserted.
NOT INTERESTED
"Oh, I suppose so," she replied wearily; "but what's to be said on the other side doesn't interest me."—Boston Transcript.
"You don't know what it is to have a wife who was once a school teacher. You have been a teacher sometimes on a slate, I must be home by 10 o'clock."—New York Globe.
"Did your wife scold when you came home so late last night?"
Clerk: What size, please?
"You suspect the new waiter of being a German agent?"
Sunday School Teacher: Do you say your prayers every night before going to bed?
Robert (aged 5): Yes, ma'am.
"Yes. The other used to receive a tip with polite gratitude. This one acts as if he were collecting an indemnity." - Washington Star,

POET'S CORNER
A MASCOT
In the glow of their youth they have come, and they pass
With the steel, the steel and the blaze of the brass;
And the brave little dog, with a brisk little To his stump of a tail, trots along by An asist in the ranks like the rest of the corps.
For the brave little dog is away to the
He's away to the war. I need you. I'll be need
of you.
He's away to the war. 'They'll be need of him there.' He shot a little type that the foe is of depargain. And he shot one that's so old in the world, or so wise, but may find a new harm in the depths. And his tongue is a neum to the heart of the war. So the brave little dog is away to the war.
May the powers be good to the glad who is first for his friends and last. May there still be a bone for his hunter to find. May the head from a hand that is kind; May the heaven of men keep a wide-eyed for the brave little dog that's away to the war!
— Arthur Guertman.
Ralph Gravely of the University of Missouri has challenged the checker talent of K. U, to a match to be held at Columbia Thanksgiving.
Checker Competition Feared By Athletes
Gravely has defeated all comers at M. U. and suggests that K. U. hold a tournament to find a worthy champion to meet him on this date. The competitors would have to meet the same school requirements athletes meet to compete in the Missouri Valley Conference.
The University of Kansas has some excellent cheeker talent and they are eager to meet the Missouri demon. However, the football men are afraid the checker player would take the glory away from their Turkey day game. The prospects of playing before empty stands doesn't appeal.
K. U. checker players are anxious to show their wares and want a match to be arranged at a later date if possible.
