The Daily Kansan aims to picture students at the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news and give it to students; to varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have fun; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students at the University.

IT'S UP TO YOU
You, students of the University of Kansas, heard an appeal put forth by Harry White in Robinson Gymnasium this afternoon, for help on the great Student Friendship fund of which you are responsible for $11,000. Today the promotion force started out to obtain this sum by personal appeal—each member of that force has far and above exceeded the amount expected of him or her before he has asked you. With other students pledging as much proportionately the University will raise the required sum plus many other dollars.
You, students of the University,
will be called upon tonight or tomorrow
if you did not make your pledge
at the meeting this afternoon what
are you going to do?
You, fraternity or sorority, you, who responded readily and faithfully to food measures and simplified social affairs, will have another opportunity to demonstrate your patriotism and fellowship by doing nothing less than your best on the organization fund.
You, as individuals and organizations, do your best and then go yourselves one better.
Put the University at the head of the list of college subscriptions to the Student Friendship Fund.
You, honorary organizations, governing boards and athletic boards, can you omit the greatest time in the history of your organization to be loyal to your school and democracy?
COLLEGE ARBITRATION
But the students take a wrong attitude when they say, "We men are not going to compromise." By this single unfortunate remark, the petitioners have thrown to the winds the moral backing of the students as a whole which they might have had. Having not bid for support from any source, they are almost certain not to get it. Refusal to arbitrate strikes a discordant note and invites the hostility even of those who would have sympathized with their cause.
The students in the school of Medicine have a good case. They are hard-working students. The military drill from which they wish to be relieved is a real burden. These students too, are sincere in the arguments with which they back their petition for release. The merits of the case certainly cannot but appeal to the Chancellor and the Exemption Board of the University.
The students of medicine evidently believe that the question does not lend itself to arbitration. This is only another fallacy. Any argument against the arbitration of this situation is preposterous. It must be arbitrated. Concessions from both sides might well give to the situation a new perspective. The strain on the students might be materially and adequately relieved.
The faculty should not be asked for more than a willingness to arbi-
trate. That body has as good a case for military drill as the students of medicine have against it. In answering the points of the petitioners it must defend not only its side of a particular situation but the whole system of military drill.
The faculty's action whatever else it does, must protect this system. In keeping the good will of the students of medicine, it must not sacrifice the good will of the students as a whole.
And it is only reasonable that in an appeal for justice there should be a semblance of fair-mindedness.
ANOTHER FRESHMAN JOLT
Recently the University Senate sentenced three members of the freshman class found guilty of cheating in examinations to complete an extra hour toward requirement for graduation. Such offenses will be more severely punished in the future, the Senate having made the penalty light because of the presumable inexperience of the offenders.
Cheating in examinations is a common practice in an astonishingly large number of high schools. Students who are even scrupulously honest about other matters will unblushingly erib in a quiz. It is not surprising that these students require a rude jolt to make them realize that at the University an act of this sort is looked upon in precisely the same light as the theft of a note book, or a fellow student's overcoat.

A set of thirty exercises in verse, which Professor Curruth has arranged, is one feature of his book most serviceable to teachers and students seeking a challenging subject, form, and standards. Even more valuable to the inexperienced teacher, or the student training himself to write, is his collection of sample verses and comments upon them. It requires the most prevalent amateur work and suggests for them the remedies they need. The author's comments on these sample exercises are illuminating and useful in improv-

A PLEA FOR PUBLIC OPINION Editor of the Kansan;
"A Practical Handbook," Professor Carruth calls his little volume on verse writing, and indeed it is practical in its clear and terse treatment of the art of poetry, whose devotees must be trained, say, to read in prose, other art, though language, the tool which they use, is placed in the hands of every man.
In a recent issue the Kansan brought out the fact that women made better grades in public speaking than men. There are other facts concerning public speaking that might be well to publish. According to the opinion of many college authorities that is one course that should be compulsory. The student in science, history, mathematics, or any other is called upon at some time to make talks or explanations before he or she must be perfectly at ease and where better can one learn that composure than in some public speaking course?
And to have ideas is one thing but to be able to express them clearly is quite another. Many students make poor class grades who would rather be put their thoughts in clear, concise statements. The fault lies in the fact that scarcely any emphasis is laid upon public speaking and oratory. The present day student finds no time in his course for such substudies; so he leaves it, he suffers by it. In nine cases out of ten he is able to tell in an understandable way only a fraction of what he knows. Every student should make it a point to include in his or her course the ability to speak if for no other reason than to be able to express ideas clearly in class.
A. J. M.
In this book the author has placed at the disposal of students and teachers of versification the fruits of his own rich experience in the art of writing poetry. His suggestions as to the most suitable subject matter and forms best suited to the amateur verserman, and the standards to be used, are very helpful. He also presents a number of mechanical devices useful to the beginner in getting under way, and proves conclusively that the subject matter and rules of the technique of poetry. Of these rules the book furnishes a full and adequate explanation, including not only the usually mentioned, more or less mechanical details of meter, rhyme, rhythm, and stanza, but also the less tangible elements of meter, rhyme, taste, language, and subject matter. The discussion of the latter is so thorough that if heeded must, without fail, produce the desired effect—the preservation of the individuality of the beginner; for it effectively vums him with its own identity, and of necessity secures his respect and sympathetic understanding for poetry of the highest type.
TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY
ing versification, for having seen the common defects in the work of others, the novice is better able to discover and eliminate them in his own writing. Although it contains a complete and thorough treatment of technique, including, of course, grammar and mechanics, the book is delightfully readable, for the author's own personal charm pervades it through his language, and his beautiful rhythmic expression, as well as through his deep sympathy for the desire to help those who would teach and those who would express their expression. Consequently, the little volume is pleasant as well as a well-nigh indispensable part of the library of students and teachers of verse-writing.
