THE WHOLE TRUTH
TUESDAY, NOV. 20, 1917.
Just one-half of the students in the University have pledged for the most worthy movement ever launched at the University of Kansas. At noon today, 1,100 students had responded to an appeal made for $11,000, K. U.'s share of the million dollar college fund for war work. Of the 1100 pledged, the women exceeded in numbers and amounts given; 52 per cent of the women enrolled in the University pledged; 42 per cent of the men enrolled pledged. At the promotion force luncheon yesterday, 118 students and faculty members pledged $1,700; at the meeting in the afternoon the pledges amounted to $4,390 making a total of $6,090. The least that can be done is the apportionment, $11,000.
The truth is this—the deficit of $4,910 must come. When some member of the committee calls upon those who have not given, let the duty be proud to publish her share with other schools.
Have you given? Have you given until the give pinched?
If you have then, you have done your plain duty as a true child of your Alma Mater and as a loyal citizen of the United States.
You gave because you appreciate the fact that the day of the doctrine of all work and no play is obsolete.
You gave because you realized the degeneration and debauchery of men's characters going on over there. You gave because you realized that to keep up the morale of the armies there must be relaxation after hours at the front trenches and during the monotonous days in the prison camps.
You gave because you have learned that recreation is as necessary to progress as labor; you know that a change from the daily grind is as vital as food and rest.
You know, too, that there must be standard camp buildings, motor trucks, books, musical equipment, writing material and other comforts that are necessary to maintain the morale of the finest men America has.
You who have given know, you sympathetic, you saw your duty. You who have not given will give today or tomorrow and give with that collegiate dignity instilled in you by one of the finest educational institutions in America.
Patriotism, for the University man means going to a training camp;—— for the University women it means knitting khaki colored wool, instead of making the conventional pink Christmas tatting.
In view of the swiftness with which the Senate sprang its plan for military drill, we wonder if Senate members are qualifying for bomb throwers. Will the next bomb be a four-quarters school year?
Kansas City sport writers felt impelled to dub the K. U. legions the "Hawkers" in their account of the Nebraska-K. U. game. Why, may we ask, this atrocity in substitution of our familiar and time honored title?
"Hooverize together on wheat and meat," urges Mrs. Eustace Brown to the boarding clubs which is rather a polite way of promoting a spirit of unity among the hungry.
Just a wee bit more Hooverizing and Thanksgiving will be a hollowday as well as a holiday.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Will somebody prepare the tar and feathers for the person responsible for the atrocious perversion of "Jay-hawkers" into "Hawkers"? Lament the passing of traditions, and then try to change the very name by which we are known! I didn't suppose there was enough poor taste in the whole world to coin such a disgusting term as "Hawkers" appearing in the report of Saturday's game in out-of-town papers.

Studes Work Campus Mail Box Overtime
Students trust Uncle Sam to have the mail collected promptly from the mail boxes on the hill even if there are no signs on them telling the time of collection because they regularly drop their daily letters to sweethearts and the frequent ones to Dad in these boxes. The box by the bulletin board receives more mail than any other in Lawrence.
Their faith is justified, for the mail
is taken up twice a day at about 9:30
clock in the morning and 2:30
clock in the afternoon. The postman
wants his pony and Rex the dog
with him, never miss the usual
time much.
Postman Hull also collects first-class mail from the University post-office twice a day. The University mail wagon takes all the second and third-class down to the city post-office at 5 o'clock each night.
Fatherly Advice in Store for Freshmen
Freshman, watch your step. From twenty to forty faculty members have been selected to fill the places of your job, and they move away from home for the first time.
If any one hurts your feelings they are the proper ones to whom to go for comfort. If you get a D or An F, tell your advisors about it; they are very concerned. You should consult them before calling a professor or asking a girl for a date.
Yes, we agree that it is rather late in the day for them to be putting in their appearance, but excuse them this time. You see, it took so long for the Registrar to get you sorted out and divided up into families.
See your advisors any time now and get acquainted. They are well worth knowing. They want an opportunity to hear how you are getting on; to advise you in becoming accustomed to the changes in your school life; to scold you just a little, perhaps; and to wish you well.
"I wish you would, judge. Think of the opportunities I have with people always in when you call and speak to them," hands."-Louisville Courrier-Journal.
"If you don't stop bothering me," said the judge to the prospective book agent, "I'll be tempted to send you to jail."

Each day will set its stated task;

"Hard!" snorted the gentleman of wealth. "Hard! It is impossible." Hard!

According to the New York City census the preeminence of the name Smith has given way to another cognomen, Cohen. But the Smiths are still in the lead at the University of Pennsylvania and they them. The Browns bring up a close second with the number of twenty-three. Seventeenth University students
