The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news on paper and storing it in a verity holds; to play no favors; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university, to the students of the University.

TAKING STOCK
Anyone taking stock of the prospects at the University for the rest of the year finds himself at a loss to predict with any degree of accuracy what the future months will bring. But he can at least assure himself the conditions imposed by the war will get worse instead of better.
Certain it is that life on the Hill is still gay, even though perceptibly tempered by the fact of war. As a class, students will be among the last to admit grim realities, even though they face them; they will bluff the war with a spirit of bravado until actual suffering crushes them with its weight.
K. U. students know there is a war Outward signs of it necessarily are increasing as the months go by. Compulsory exercise for women, military training for men—both of these speak for the University's participation in the struggle. It is possible the labor of producing military and Red Cross supplies will supersece peace-time amusements. But it is not so now. A semblance of peace will lurk in student life until war brings us to the valley of the shadow.
Today, students are enjoying football games, but they are knitting. They are spending money for dances, but they are buying Liberty Bonds also. They are taking in the picture shows, but they take seriously and uncomplainingly a system of military drill. Real studying never was more popular than it is this fall. Demorallizing as war is admitted to be, it is not probable it has brought added disaster in the classroom.
The man who is taking stock has many things to consider. Student amusements are not likely to increase; scholarship may get no better, but the service which students can give to their country will multiply rapidly. The months ahead at K. U. are in the dark future, but this future must be faced. Every war measure adopted by the University is justified for this reason if for no other.
The time is here for every student on the Hill to think of this future. The person who will not acknowledge the war demands personal sacrifice of some kind will sooner or later come down with a hard thump. A little hard thinking is a preventive; a little taking of stock—it is the best wartime insurance as well as the cheapest.
CHEAP PATRIOTISM
when a speaker, a show or an entertainment of any kind resort to a patriotic appeal to get their show "across" it invariably leaves a bad taste in the mouths of the audience. There is nothing so sickening as to have a speaker, when he finds that he is not making good with the talk that he is billed for, switch off on a patriotic tirade and proclaim that the United States in the greatest country in America or some equally obvious fact. Such an explosion must be met with hearty applause or the accusation is made that we have no love or spirit for our country.
An American flag on the end of a rotten movie or on a cheap novelty calls for the endorsement of all who must have anything to do with them. The poorest kind of entertainment can sail to success under our emblem of freedom.
As soon as people wake up to the fact that a soap-box orator can feel at home with a high class audience by his clumsy references to our national emblem or our duty to our country, just that soon will we realize that the ideals that we are sacrificing the lives of our loved ones for cannot be made a mercury matter.
FITZSIMONS MEMORIAL
The matter of collecting a suitable fund to erect a memorial to the memory of Lieut. William Fitzsimons, a K. U. grad and the first American officer to give his life in the war for democracy, has been sadly neglected at the University.
At the Rosedead medical school of the University where Lieutenant Fitzsimons finished his medical training over a hundred dollars has been raised to further the K. U. memorial and yet in Lawrence there is no one willing to give time enough to the matter to take active charge of the fund.
Kansas has always had the reputation of letting the world know of its honor and the world knows Kansas for her big men. Here is an opportunity to keep sacred the name of the first American to lay his life on the altar of democracy. Will Kansas fail this time?
PHI BETA KAPPA
The announcement has been made of the election to membership of several students to Phi Beta Kappa, the scholarship society and at the same time the remark was sneeringly made that there were just that many more confirmed in their ways of being "grinds."
The old idea that it is wenk to be a student is fast vanishing. Students are beginning to realize that to be a student is as much of an undertaking as is being a football or track star, the only difference being in the reward. The athlete is heaped with honors, the student with maledictions. Deep down in the hearts of the loudest fellow to howl at the exclusiveness of such an organization there is a wholesome respect for the student who is elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
