The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news on paper; to provide richer security holds; to play no 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 university; to educate the students of the University.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1917.
MINUS THE TRIMMIN'S
Just about a month ago, the University Senate, moving in response to the needs of the hour, provided for a course in compulsory physical training for all students. This has resulted in practically every man being "drafted" for military drill, and every woman being "conscripted" for "hiking teams."
That part of it is all right. Most students realize they ought to take some physical exercise daily; and a great majority of them are highly in favor of the drill and hiking periods.
In regard to compulsory attendance at hygiene lectures and all-University convocations, however, there has been a steadily-growing dissatisfaction—and the spectacle at the men's military hygiene lecture Tuesday is an expression of that dissatisfaction. The men—many of them upperclassmen who had already studied hygiene and received University credit for it—were forced to attend an uninteresting lecture on medical history, illustrated by badly projected lantern slides. It was a lamentable affair; and the men let it be known by applauding so vigorously as to almost break up the session.
The same unfavorable attitude toward compulsory attendance at convocations is also apparent. Students certainly ought to have the option of deciding whether they care to hear a certain speaker and the practice of making compulsory attendance at lectures and convocations ought to be frowned upon.
Let's have military training—but let's have it without the trimmin's.
If the Senate, or the military authorities, or whoever is responsible for herding the military companies to compulsory lectures and convocations, is alive to the wishes of the students, the practice will be abolished.
IT'S YOUR MOVE,CLASS OF '18
It is no longer considered the thing for a senior class to leave as a class memorial some useless reminder. Within a few weeks it will be up to the class of 1918 of the University to make a choice for a class memorial. What is it to be this year?
One memorial this year will have a twofold value if the selection is made. Something can be left for those who will be here in later years and something can be done for those of the class who cannot be here to share in the selection of the memorial and who have gone in the service to protect the greatest memorials that the world has ever known—democracy and liberty.
Why not institute a class fund—a substantial amount that will lighten the burden of the man in uniform and show him he remains in the memory of his University and classmates?
Who is more capable of distribut
ing that fund than the Student Friendship Association through the Red Triangle?
It's your move Class of 1918.
The first competitive game of hockey ever seen on the University campus was played today on McCook Field. This is only another indication of the popularity of women's athletics at K. U, and is indirectly the result of compulsory exercise for all students. With 500 men leaving the University on the second draft call in February too much cannot be said to further athletics among women for it may be up to them to maintain the athletic spirit of K. U.
Judging from the way the men of the University have subscribed to the Y. M. C. A. fund, the Kaiser must have a couple of secret diplomas in our midst.
The State must have a bad opinion of the sophomores at K. U., when it sends a governor to see that everything is conducted properly at their annual "hop."
"Soph Hop managers tell what to wear at party," is the head on a Kansas story yesterday. Oy, Oy, everybody out! See the new Dress Dictator at K. U!.

The old time three-cent rate went into effect in 1855, following a five-cent rate. But the weight of a letter might not exceed one-half ounce. Three cents for the half ounce letter was more than one dollar; it was made two cents for the half ounce. On July 1, 1885, the unit of weight increased to one ounce. The present three-cent rate is more liberal than the old three-cent postage in that it carries a letter of one ounce but instead of only half an ounce.

The stacks hold the reserve fund of Spooner. There may be found books relating to any subject that may be imagined. Only ask the assistant at the desk and she will "wizard" out practically any book that ever has been written. The teacher takes them, then they take by the English department than by any other. This is the natural thing, since there are more books in active use in this department, and since many of the departments have their own libraries.

The first forty acres of land owned by the University was given to the state by Governor Charles Robinson. As early as 1895 Governor Robinson made a bequeathing his entire estate to the University of Kansas. The property was to be used by his wife until her death, but at that time, in 1911, it was turned over to the control of the University.

Some of the farm land is quite valuable, being worth about $200 amcrease. The rentals from the property are turned in to the general maintenance fund of the University. Only the interest from this fund is used. Robinson Gymnasium was named in honor of Governor Robinson.
Robinson Estate First Land to K. U.
The estate includes a 1300-acre farm about six miles north-east of the University and one lot in Kansas City, Kansas. There is also a sum of money amounting to $5000 which was willed to a niece in Springfield for use until her death and then it, too will revert to the state.
Dean F. H. Blackmar was administrator of the estate for two years after Mrs. Robinson's death, but in 1913 he turned the management of it over to the State Board of Administration, however, he is still trustee of the money.

Musty, Dusty Stacks Not For Frosh Eyes
The stacks of Spooner Library are a source of great mystery to many who come on the Hill, and especially to those denied the privileges so carefully doled out by the Librarians to juniors and seniors. Occasionally comes a fortunate little sophomore who is allowed to go back, trailing books and pages through the library and frantically endeavoring to understand what he wants.
Who joy and grieve and shrink and joggle in it.
And the mission it may not revoke-
the life he gave in it.
