U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kananan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students by than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas of the class; to be catered to; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to courageous to serve the students seriously in wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best degree; to the students of the University. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1917 IS K. U. BESTED? The amount pledged by the representatives of this school to the Y. M. C. A. Friendship War Fund has been more than doubled. The amount apportioned to Wesleyan was $700, and the amount raised is almost $1,600. The promoters of the campaign are confident that no other college in the state has made such a showing—The Wesleyan. Was it the confidence of the promoters of this campaign that more than doubled the apportionment of this small Kansas college? If it was, why has not K. U. doubled her share to the Student Friendship Fund. There was plenty of confidence among the promoters of the campaign; there was entire co-operation of the University authorities and the committee in charge; there was concentrated effort on the part of the promotion force. What was the matter? Perhaps there was not enough individual thought put upon the question. There is still time for reflection—has each student done all he can do? FOR UNEASY MINDS There has been much discussion over what the University women should wear to the Sophomore Hop. Always before the women have worn party dresses and there is absolutely no reason why this feature of the party should be done away with this year. Practically every woman on the Hill has a party dress that she can wear so why not use them when the opportunity permits. Of course no one is supposed to buy a new dress especially for the occasion. The party has been simplified in every way possible but the committee does not think it necessary to put a ban on party dresses. There will not be as many occasions to wear party dresses this year as previously, and since the Hop is one of the biggest of the year simple party dresses are generally looked upon with favor by the adviser of women, faculty women, and the majority of the women of the University. SOLDIERLY ADVICE Many of the women of the University are planning Christmas boxes for men in the army camps in various parts of the United States now that they have sent boxes on to those in France. Many women write to some lonely soldier man every day. All of this is done in spite of advice recently given in a newspaper paragraph entitled "Don't Do It." It reads: Don't send them a package of tobacco, it's a bad habit; don't send them reading matter, it will injure their eyes; don't knit them a sweater, it might scratch their delicate skin; don't write them a letter, you'll waste the paper and a 3-cent stamp; don't send them anything to eat, they might get the stomach ache! don't tell them you admire their spirit, it might make them vain; above all don't send them any tobacco. Not more than ninety-nine out of every one hundred use tobacco and they don't amount to much. Save your money and buy another farm. Little acts of kindness never helped anybody anyway.—(From the Perry, Iowa, Chief.) ON OTHER "HILLS" Girls as "Shines" A a shoe-shining parlor managed by girls has been established at Cornell college in Iowa for the benefit of M. C. K. A. war work fund. It is said that some of those ambitious women are to shuck corn at $5 a day to help obtain the $5,000 that is Cornell's allotment. 'Raus Mit 'Em! Pinchole playing has been forbidd in the buildings of the University of Syracuse on the grounds that it is a German game—Depaw Daily. Missouri Girls Conserve Food Missouri Girls Conserve Food Sixteen girls at the university of Missouri have formed a conservation club. They have adopted a war menu, by which they pledge themselves to their cereal and to have wheatless and meatless days. A fine of ten cents will be assessed against any member who leaves bread or butter on her plate or sugar in her coffee cup. Token to Enlisted Men Every Iowa State man in the service will receive a token of remembrance from the school for a Christmas gift. This was determined at a meeting, a committee picked from an art and museum which was held Thursday afternoon. An Old Recine War brand is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel. It contained barley, beans, lentils, millet and fitches. The injunction was: "Put them into one vessel and make the bread thereof." —Vancouver Sun. CAMPUS OPINION EXTRAVAGANCE ing away to the war, to put forth extra effort to keep the social and educational activities intact. This is good sense and good business. When the boys come marching back from war, they do not want to find everything in a dilapidated condition; they want something to come back to. But if we do these things, we must learn to carry them on with less expense. We should not have to choose $2.00 for a seat in the bleachers for the Kansas-Nebraska game. It would have been better to have charged fifty cents and had the bleachers filled, than to charge $2.00 and have them only half filled. This is extravagance in times of peace and prosperity. In war times it amounts to waste. A rule should be established that $10 would ever be paid for a performance in McCook Field, and that the students should be admitted for fifty cents. If the Soph Hop is to be a part of the regular social activities of the University, $1.00 a couple is all that should be charged. They are limiting the expense on any party in the University to $1.00 a couple as a maximum. When the Sophomores dropped to $3.00 they thought they had done a great thing, and they had, only it was not great. They should have dropped to $1.00. It is perfectly absurd to tax students $7.00 for the Junior Prom. The Junior Prom can be carried on with just as good a time as is now enjoyed, at a great deal less expense. The malady of a classmate will not be to beat the preceding class, or perhaps, in some instances, a desire of one or two to beat the public. When you come to the Jayhawker, a neat little souvenir containing all that is good in any one of the past Jayhawkers that any one would like to keep, can be made for $1.00 a copy. Cut out the padding and cut out waste in the Jayhawker, and $1.00 is all that the investment would stand. Let us keep every thing going, but out waste and extravagance and our social life and social improvement at less expense. F. W. Blackmar. “But Helen was my confidante Edith must have been Helen's confi- orer, or her confidante's confidante.” ANYWAY THE SECRET IS OUT "I wouldn't make Edith my confi- dante, if I were you.

One of the girls on the Hill told us the other day that outside of her classes she was doing pretty well. The way some of the girls are taking it, they really are, not cross country but cross, (comma) country hikes. It's going to be some hop all right, for that Chorus of 50 has been hopping some for the past few weeks in the summer, and there's night frolic. (Wake up New York). Every time we read the Kansan which amounts to about every day we notice that little dog "Mental Lapses" which reminds us of how much we love our dog. To make it plain, we have a mental lapse every time Prof. calls on us. A great number of college girls were trudging down town yesterday with packages bound for France, and it was because the postoffice officials had ordered that all soldier packages be mailed at the downtown offices. Inspiration is the source of nearly all things; that is the big reason for the spasmodic appearances of this column. A Frosh said the other day, "It's just one quizz after another." And a senior said also, "It's just one date after another." If you’re a sophomore or a junior, take your choice of the above two. But you can't fool us, anyway. "Over hill, over dale" is the song that really should be the universal college歌 at K. U. Or we might change and say, "Up hill, down hill." What has become of the freshmen who came on the Hill wearing a big high school letter on a sweater of some brilliant hue?

They Both Say It: "It's My UNDERWEAR!" One wears woolen underwear for warmth—but in warm rooms it scratches, itches, irritates the skin! The other never feels the slightest wool itch, yet he's always warm and comfortable—and wears wool. BUT: he wears his wool on the outside of his underwear—not next his skin. He wears Duofold Health Underwear It has a thin inner layer of soft, soothing cotton fabric and a thin outer layer of wool that doesn't touch the skin. And it has an Air Space between that ventilates the whole garment and lets the body breathe. Try this new all-winter Comfort, all-winter Warmth and all-winter Protection against colds!
