The Daily Kansan aims to picture us in the classroom of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from Kansas; to go further with varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be resourceful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE FACULTY EXEMPTED
THE FACULTY EXECUTED
It has been, rumored that K. U. students will not assume a proper attitude toward the University Senate's war measures until these rulings affect the faculty as well as the students. This rumor has not gained wide credence, and fortunately, for the evidence at present is against such a position as this having been taken by the students. But the rumor carries this warning. It is barely possibly that the Senate has overlooked the means by which the good feeling of students can be made secure.
Certain, it is that there is no immediate cause for worry. The men at K. U., especially, are exhibiting a fine spirit by their willingness to take up military drill. The weather has been fine, and the drill work has proved to be a novelty with a distinct charm.
But the weather will not always be pleasant, and the novelty may wear off. Drilling in the cold, or in the inevitable mud and slush is not an inviting experience to contemplate.
It is in the hour of discomfort that complaints will begin to come if they come at all. And one of the questions that will be asked is why should faculty members be exempted. When the student-soldier gets tired of his job, he is not likely to have his spirits revived by faculty members enjoying the comfort of their offices or homes, while he drills in the rain.
Here is a question of morale that cannot afford to be overlooked at K. U., any more than at the front. Since the faculty adopted military drill, it is duty-bound to see it through. This is not a students' war, but a war of the people, and the people must take part. If military drill is good for all able-bodied students, there is no good reason why it should not be good for all able-bodied men in the faculty. There is plenty of room on the campus for a company of K. U. professors. Such a company may not be needed for the purpose of upholding the morale of the students, but it is needed if the students are to be given a square deal. The company should be formed to insure the continued good feeling of the students, if for no other reason.
This good will would be cheap at any price, and fortunately it is not beyond the means of the University faculty.
NO TEAMWORK
Food conservation by K. U. students will not become general without the
co-operation on the part of someone, and co-operation cannot perhaps be effected without organization. The sororities and fraternities are in a position to observe meatless days and wheatless days, but the great mass of the students who board at clubs are comparatively helpless.
Competition among the boarding clubs is keen and the fear that boarders will leave if meat and wheat is not served every day is preventing conservation in the widest sense.
Apparently, either the students or the boarding house keepers must organize and reach an agreement on this problem, and it stands to reason that it should be the boarding houses. Several hundred students have signed the food conservation pledges and no more proof of their willingness to co-operate should be required. Few students who signed the pledge, and few who did not, will object to cornbread and no meat at least one day a week.
Fear should no longer be offered as an excuse. The time for conservation is here. When will the boarding house people call a meeting and help in this matter?
CONSERVATION OF TIME
Now that K. U. has signed the food conservation pledge and is being organized to serve the government in many ways, why not start a plan to conserve time?
A great amount of time is wasted every day which, if properly utilized, would be of immense value to the student. The difficulty is that he does not know how to use his time.
In conserving time, a definite schedule might be followed, and each student would plan his work, his recreation, and his outside activities for the day. Much time is wasted in settling down to work. It is very easy to waste a half hour in looking for a library book, or in visiting across the library table.
If such a plan were adopted, the result would be more efficient class work, systematic study hours, recreation for recreation's sake, and extra time in which the student might serve the government.
CAMPUS OPINION
TO THE SENATE
Our cabinet members in Washington are "keep fit" They realize that a maximum of efficiency on the part of the brain requires a healthy body. They also require that they have. They are having setting up exercises and drill every day.
Our University Senate, mostly unqualified to knit, in a grand onslaught to take war measures and forevermore to clothe themselves in the rails of patriotism before the unsuspecting eyes of our citizens, have acted.
They have instituted the blowing of a 6:30 rising whistle, which no one except the keeper, ever has heard or ever will hear. To put it in the words of a senate member, "The idea ought to sound well to the school's critics out over the state." They have established a dark room of sleeping cots in the elegant Robinson barn for our poor tired women. What a hazen of women we are, especially the manly kick at our long suffering institution of convoction. Brave!
But the members of the Senate themselves should keep fit. They owe their maximum efforts to their country. They have already done a great deal at such a minimum expenditure of personal effort, has been remarkable.
When the women of the University asked W. O. Hamilton for physical training 3 days a week only, owing to the feeling that 5 hours added to their already full schedule was more than mortal could endure, Mr. Hamilton said it was necessary to have daily exercise as it was to have daily food.
Yours for passing a good thing around.

Does it not then seem illogical that the men are having training three days and lectures two days a week? I M

To Confer On Parking
The University Senate will meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon to consider some method of parking cars on the campus.
And those girls who have been getting those special deliveries will probably have to wait until Monday for that important letter.
Since drinking cups have become so scarce on the Hill, and because of the militaristic idea, someone has sugared it up to carry canteens for our water supply.
At last there will be that add to Ad. that we have been looking for so long.
There's many a dress suit that will go into pawn this year, if the latest dope is correct.
Our solution to the problem of the stealing of coats and wraps be that an Anti-Coat Thief Association be organized for the students, and that all coats have the mark of the Association upon them. Then if stolen, the coat may be identified by its number.
In quizzes the four flusher goes to his mind for an answer, and then to his neighbor's paper for the correct one.

OTHER OPINIONS
PATRIOTISM IN BUYING
PATROLISTS IN BUYING
Hoarding of sugar by consumers is
making the work of the Food Ad-
ministration harder.
It is just as bad for families to speculate in food as for regular speculators to do it. The principle is the same, and the effect on the supply is worse, for there are thousands of consumers to one business speculator.
Families that commonly consume five or ten pounds of sugar a week should be satisfied to buy that amount; but many are rushing to buy it by the barrel, 250 pounds. That is what makes sugar scarce. If everybody would buy only the usual quantity there would be enough for all.
It is greedy and unpatriotic in these times to buy more than we need to use in a reasonable time. A real patient is he or she who is willing to rest and go without things if they become too scarce—Current Events.
