U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to plea for more support from the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news in the paper; to give universality holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to learn to work with a leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. THURSDAY, NOV. 15. 1917 YOUR CHOICE OF DO'S Just what are you as a representative of the largest educational institution in Kansas going to do to make Home-Coming Day next Saturday the most talked of and enjoyed Home-Coming Day in the history of the school? You can take your place in one of the longest receiving lines of the year, not for a few minutes or an hour but for the entire day. You can be host or hostess to hundreds of persons who have been storing K. U. enthusiasm for a year and at last are to have the opportunity to display it. Senior men will begin the entrainment with the annual Senior-Alumni Smoker in the Merchants' Association club rooms at which the alumni will be guests. Sororities and fraternities have announced that their houses will be open from basement to roof; the caretakers of campus buildings will be prepared to show the best and the worst in our buildings and equipment; Captain Nielsen and our team have promised the best game of the season and the Men's Student Council has scheduled a dance in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday night. And the thing that all of you car do is smile. However, if you are not a senior, a Greek letter member, nor a dancer, there is plenty for you to do. You can go to the game, you can clean up the week's work and have a day off to show some visitor that K. U. improves every day. It is possible that one redeeming thing can be found in the Russian situation. Dean Templin might prevail upon Premier Kersky to kou the Russian department at K. U. next year, in case he permanently loses his job in Russia. TAG STILL POPULAR "Tag, You're It," and this time it is the Senior Men who wear tags. They have taken it upon themselves to start the ball rolling for entertaining visitors for Home-Coming Day and the big game. The seniors will pay all expenses of the senior-alumni smoker Friday night and the alumni will be guests. CAMPUS OPINION ANOTHER CAMPUS PEST Editor of Kansan: The latest campus pest is qualified as follows: the student who confiscates the paper put out for drinking cups for scratch paper upon which to write his lecture notes. According to a recent issue of the Kansas, University of Kansas women show more enthusiasm and do better work in oral interpretation than the men, and their grades usually run higher. There is nothing remarkable in this. On the contrary, what else can we expect. It is only natural that a girl should excel in doing the thing SACRIFICE AN ANAMOLY Students and faculty are talking about sacrifice in connection with giving to the Army Friendship War Fund of $11,000 to be raised at the University of Kansas. When men are giving their lives on the battlefield for their convictions how can we associate the term sacrifice with the giving of money to such a cause? Giving all our energy, strength, money and influence toward making the lot easier for the men who are risking their lives for the cause of democracy is the least we at home can do. When almost daily letters are received from University students closing with a "good-bye" which means they have placed their lives on the altar, can we continue to talk of sacrifice? And can we stay-at-homes deny them anything that will lighten their load? More than five million men already have given up their lives in battle. Six million men are facing cold, hunger, even starvation, in prison camps. Many of them are ill, many are dying, others are threatened with madness. And yet we hear persons around us talking of the sacrifice they would have to make to give to a fund for the relief of these soldiers. To give to the war relief fund may mean the sacrifice of luxuries and entertainments; but the money spent for these luxuries may save the lives of untold numbers and bring to a speedy close this war in which the casualties have far exceeded our comprehension. University students and faculty members will eliminate unnecessary expenditures and will rally to the cause of the soldiers abroad. They will not permit any class function, any spring formal or any other student activity to keep them from doing their duty to their friends in arms. K. U. will never allow itself to be pointed to as the only university in the United States that has not raised its apportionment. True sacrifice means giving until it hurts. Such giving means not only the elimination of luxuries; it means going without many of the things we have always regarded as necessities. Only when we have given money formerly spent for things which have become a part of our lives will we even begin to approach the trials and sufferings of the men for whom we are asked to give. Comparative sacrifice on our part is an anamoly. Can K. U. do less than other universities? that she has done continuously and zealously from the time she was old enough to say "da da" and all those other inarticulate words of baby land have been and always will be needed for its use of "Vocal Gymnasies." The strange part of it lies in the fact that it should be necessary for women to take a course in public speaking in order to become proficient in that line. It has always been supposed that they had sufficient talent to express themselves clearly and forcefully without a special study of it.

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE NOTHING ELSE UNDER THE SUN NOTHING ELSE UNDER THE SUN The exclamation of the vanguard human is the accepted phrases for popular repetition, "I don't know where I'm going but 一 I'm on my way," was doubtless thought by the perpetrator of it to be a laughable conceit of his own, but a country editor has unearned from a file of a rural newspaper, of a date in 1857, a paragraph like this, copied from a Western newspaper of that time: "An emigrant wagon passed through Fort Riley, Kansas, the other day on which the driver of it had inscribed in large letters: 'I came from down in Missouri, but I don't know where I'm going.'"

Nothing would be of more advantage to the women of the University, according to Dr. John Sundwall, than for them to do washings in their own rooms. It is not from an economic point of view that Doctor Sundwall is interested, but from the standpoint of health, he says. G. W. JONES, A. M. M. D.

Send Thanks For Kansan "There are three things that should be done to prevent colds and better health conditions," he said. "First, the student should avoid chilling the body; second, he should eat and dress properly; third, the air of the room in which he studies should be moist and cooler than the air of a moreicient than a little washing hanging about to do away with the dry heat that is unhealthful." A letter signed by Frank G. Ben edict, P. H. Sproat, Stewart M. McGaw, Otto H. Dittmer and M. T. Bendick of the Headquarters Company of the Headquarters Unit at Camp Donphan, was received by the Kanstan this morning. These men are all former students at the University and wrote to thank the Daily Kanfan for the assistance of the paper to them in the camp. Libraries Use Old Schedule Although classes now are running on, the new schedule and professors have moved up their office hours a half hour, the librarians in the various branch libraries still come to work on the old schedule. This is continually causing delays to students and professors who wish to use these libraries. In one of the buildings this morning, about twenty people were forced to wait a half hour for the librarian. K. U.
