The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate Life of a teacher further than merely播报 the news by standing for the truth, so that they may no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be kinder; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, NOV. 6, 1917.
AGAINST UNIFORMS
The question has been raised of the University authorities picking out a uniform for students taking military drill, putting the style to be adopted up to the students and making the wearing of the outfits compulsory.
The Kansan has backed every move of the University Senate in the securing of the military regime at K. U. but on this one point the Kansan takes the opposite stand.
We beg the Senate to think the matter over before they inflict a hardship on either the students or on the government for which they are making these patriotic moves.
WASTING TIME
K. U. students have bought their clothing for a greater part of the year. Cadet uniforms of a suitable nature would cost a great deal. The ordinary khaki uniforms could not be obtained without a treasonable inroad into the supply available for war use.
Acting on the suggestion of the Kansan the Student Council has undertaken the plan of getting out a student directory if the final answer of the state printer for the publication of it is negative.
The plan is a good one but action should be taken at once to get the answer to the question so the directories will do some good. If the matter is put off until the end of the year there will be no need of getting out the directories. The solution to the problem can be had as easily now as later and the use of the directories could be had in the meantime.
The committee in charge of the publication should act at once.
ARE YOU GUILTY ?
Jayhawker editors have announced the time, limit on pictures to appear in the annual book. With this announcement comes appearance of the annual pest who is never on time for the taking of the picture.
he is supposed to be at the photographers at a certain hour with the rest of the folks in the group to be taken. He isn't there at the hour and ten minutes later perhaps he arrives. Of course the picture has not been taken because his face is needed in the group. Result: Everyone is late to some other engagement.
He needs swatting. Swat him—the pest-who is-always-late.
A CASE FOR SYMPATHY
Just now the fair name of Illinois University is being dragged into the
mire by the canine action of a few faculty members who insist on breezing their pro-German feeling as regards the war.
It is very evident that those who are doing the injurious blowing were not citizens of Illinois but floating specimens of ingratitude that were treated as men by the university only to find that they were wolves.
We have that much to be thankful for that the faculty at K. U, are men, every one of them, and we sympathize with Illinois in her plight.
ONE RESULT
AT IT AGAIN
Comes now the stories that coats and wraps are being stolen from the cloak-rooms in Spooner Library and various buildings on the campus. The rumors have been investigated and found true. It is to be regretted that such a condition exists but we know that it does exist and a remedy must be had.
The suggestion has been made that a place to check wraps be established at the library and other buildings where overcats and cloaks can be checked without fear of thievery.
The problem must be solved. Let's have your solution.
OTHER OPINIONS
ALL NATURE IS AT PEACE
ALL NATURE IS AT PEACE
Autumn is arrayed in all its sonor emblended. The plant owing to its leaves humming to red and brown and gray. Leaves flutter to the ground, forming a soft, thick carpet, which will protect the young grass shoots in the spring, and which will furnish a home for myriads of tiny insects during the coming winter.
Rivers and tiny streams run their course slowly and lazily, beech trees and willows, grasses and grass. Animals and wild fowl come to drink and bathe and play in their sparkling waters.
The fields are silent and gray and sober; the corn is gathered and the fodder is in the shock, and here and there are seen big, yellow pumpkins, ready for the Thanksgiving time. There are no chickens or fieldes are just resting, in all their peaceful, sober glory, for the next growing season.
The first frost is gone, persimmons are ripe, and pecans are falling. The woods are filled with redhawks and waiting for some one to rather them.
The small wood folks are lively and happy and contented. Mr. O'Dossum is getting slack and fat and sassy, feeding on pessimists and staying up late at night, prowling under the tree, chasing squirrel jumps from tree to tree, barking and playing as he lays in his winter supplies. Ducks and geese fly over, some going north and some south, not knowing just what to do, during these beautiful, wonderful days when aweful heat hot sultry summer days and the rainy, blustery winter days which will soon be upon us.
Have you noticed the crisp, early morning air and the beautiful sunrise? Have you noticed ALL of this? If not, you are missing the real life which is yours for the taking. Leave your books and studies behind and take a stroll in the woods and see if there are any shiny things that think beautiful thoughts. See life as God made it, see his big, wonderful out-of-doors. This is the best time of the year. It is glorious, exhilarating and inspirational. Live now, for there is this life and then—a wheelbarrow race—Orange and Black.
Pat: Well, sor, I think we should have a World Democracy—with an Irishman for king!—Life.
THE IRISH IDEA
A lad in a Chicago school refused to learn to sew, evidently deeming it beneath the dignity of a ten-year-old man.
WHO KNOWS
"George Washington sewed," said the instructor, "he took it for granted that a soldier must. Do you consider yourself better than George Washington."
"I don't know," said the boy seriously, "time will tell."—Harper's.
Hesitate girls, and your soldier friends won't get those Christmas packages that you are going to send them. Remember that Uncle Sam wants them started before November 15.
"Keep your head" has been a much used phrase lately on the Hill, and anybody knows that you have to keep it whether you want to or not.
Drill started in earnest today, and many of the boys are receiving their first taste of military life—even some of the officers.
About the easiest things to write about in these paragraphs are the spaces between our thoughts and they always get into the Kansan;
The remark was accidentally heard that "spats" top off the girls' footwear admirably. Another came back with the saying that "spats" often topped off other things also, among them dates.
Instead of putting in the names of all those who went to Manhattan Friday and Saturday, the Society Editor would find it much easier if she found the names of those who were trained in Lawrence. I would take less type too.
At last the women on the Hill will no longer get their dates mixed. Secretary to tell her girl have 'M.K.' books. No more excuses will go now.
Kansas school children will be happy Friday. Why? The teachers go to opera for teachers Meeting. And's they for teachers are helping the parents are having the vacation either.
"Sewing Sox" has again come to the front but this time it hasn't come as a song hit.
MENTAL LAPSES

MORE CENSORSHIP
"I wish to see Mr. Jones about a bill."
"He's away on vacation, sir."
"Did he leave any address?"
"Yes, sir. For bill collectors it's in America."—Boston TransRail.
PERHAPS IN OLDEN DAYS
The teacher was examining the class in physiology.
"mary, you tell us," she asked,
"it's the function of the
"armach"."
"The function of the stomach," the
letter on the poster, would hold up
the petticoat and current. O
An Italian, having applied for citizenship, was being examined in the immigration department.
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT
"Who is the President of the United States?"
"Mister, you 'suce, please. I very busy works da mine." "Everybody's."
"Could you be President?"
CLASSIFIED
"If the President should die, who then would be President?"
"Who is the Vice-President?" "Mr. Marsh'."
"Why?"
