The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news on paper; to hold a varsity holds; to play no favorables; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be tolerant; to leave more serious problems to wiser heeds; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE OLD FIGHT
Whadda y'mmean there isn't that old fighting spirit at K. U,？
If you still hold that opinion you weren't at the Aggie football game to see the Jayhawkers wollop the Farmers Saturday. There were more K.U. rooters than Aggie folks. The Rock Chalk was given with that spirit that the old heads said couldn't come back. We had gotten to be a girl's seminary or an aggregation of "sticks and stags" in their opinion but those theories were shaken in the echoes of the lusty yells.
Those who saw the Thundering Thousand in action in Aggieville Saturday are willing to admit that K. U. students are backing their team to the man. The night before the game every freight that left Lawrence carried with it swarms of rooters sticking to the box cars like flies. It did not take money to see the game. The effervescent spirit carried them to the camp of the enemy. They saw Kansas win and were themselves partly responsible for the victory.
Two weeks away is the real test of the season. It is the game with Nebraska on our own gridiron. It is even a better chance to show what we've got in the way of loyalty than we have in the way of loyalty than w was the Aggie game. A Missouri Valley championship hangs on the outcome. Rooting will have much to do with the decision. Do your part and a clean slate will give football enthusiasts a chance for a real Thanksgiving when they put the final knot in the Tiger's tail at Columbia.
With the increased cost of postage it's getting to be just about as expensive to write a letter home as it is to go see her. And yet there's the railroad fare and reckon with.
NO SLACKERS WANTED
This is written for the men of the University.
Suppose you were asked to do a certain job for someone. The job was put up squarely to you with a definite outline as to how to proceed. Time to be used in this work was part of one afternoon and one or two hours at night. You hadn't spent much time heretofore on this kind of work. But it was something that vitally concerned you and your school and your fellow man over in the trenches. Supposing all this was put up to you. Would you do it?
That is what the Y. M. C. A. is asking 133 men of the University. Nineteen Cabinet men have asked
seven men each to act on the Promotion Force of the Finance Campaign of the Y. M. C. A. The 133 have been told what to do. Have they done it?
Most of them have but still there are some who have not taken the time from their usual run of work to drop into Myers Hall and check off seven names to be solicited by them next Tuesday. Some of the men even refuse to do the work of the W. M. C. A. The association is asking about three hours of your time—you promotion force men Tuesday. Will you do the right thing by the association? It has done the right thing by you.
The stuff we drank at our boarding clubs and our fraternities and our sororites last week and particularly Wednesday and Thursday nights reminded us of the old love song; "Sweet Cider Time When You Were Mine."
WE CAN DO IT
Showing how sensible students can be if they want to.
Chancellor Strong requested two weeks ago that University students use judgment in giving formals and other expensive social activities. The Chancellor saw no reason for expensive banquets at the formalms; he saw no reason for the high prices without the banquet. So he asked that such ideas be dispensed with this year in the Soph Hop, the Law Serim and the Junior Prom.
Now as to the sensibility of the students; the Hop managers got in touch with faculty members and as a result he will give the Hop in November with all formality taken away at a cheaper price than heretofore.
The Law Scrim managers decided after reading the Chancellor's message to cut out formality. Informal dress at lower prices is the result.
The Junior Prom managers have made no definite arrangements but their party is to be much simpler in cost and expenditure.
And the students haven't and won't suffer by these sensible rulings and ideas. The dance's the thing anyway.
We wait with anxiety the day when war taxes will levy a burden on dances. Just think, a penny a dance. Backwoods for us.
HOME SWEET HOME
While we are talking County Clubs with a few organizations under way why not start City or Town Clubs? Many cities of Kansas have several young citizens in the University. Why can't these students from the same cities get together for short chats with each other about everyone in their home town? It means greater unity and a better time for everyone.
Wichita with fifty-seven students on the Hill had the first reunion. The Hutchinson students had such a party Thursday night. The Hutchinson meeting resulted in the idea of bringing together the graduating class of several years back for a reunion during the Christmas holidays.
So why not try it -you folks from the larger cities of Kansas? Renew old friendships. You'll find them welcome.
Do you have the cutting habit? Not the habit of cutting acquaintances but of cutting classes for some minor reason, usually the fact that you're hungry and there is an inn not far away. Or that you neglected to study last night and don't want your instructor to find it out.
YOUR CUTS COUNT
But you're all wrong. Go on to class, take your medicine by having a flunk put after your name and absorb all you can. Then resolve not to do it again. Maybe you will but you'll be getting ashamed to look your professors straight in the eye.
A story from the Agricultural College says that "exercise is one of the most important factors in the growth of hogs. Hogs that are confined in a small lot do not develop sufficiently."
THERE'S A REASON
Not meaning to compare hogs and humans but what's good for hogs in a physical way ought to be good for students in the same way.
That's the reason the University authorities have decided that we should have compulsory exercise.
With the information from Dr. H. J. Waters that men realizing the seriousness of the war expect it to last at least ten and maybe twenty-five years, doesn't it give each of you a feeling of greater responsibility heretofore unknown and make you square your shoulders and resolve you'll do your bit? And your best?
AMERICANS ALL
If the opinions of these great men of the war don't instill into you the spirit of all American you should be—well you don't deserve the protection of the flag.
MENTAL LAPSES
A. SUGGESTION
To the rules of conduct during the war should be added this;
Pat had just joined a horse regiment, and was undergoing the necessary practice in the riding school. After a particularly desperate attempt to unsent its rider, the house owner straighted a hook in one of the stirrups.
No person with a vocal range of less than two octaves should attempt to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." —Life
"Begorra," said Pat, "if you're comin' on, then I'm gettin' off!"—Tit Bits.

examine the quarter bills—if he
exemplary they quill bills—five
TIME TO ACT
JUSTLY INDIGNANT
HE AND SHE
"Are you fond of literature?" he asked.
"Passionately," she replied.
"Then you must admire Sir Walter Scott," he exclaimed with sudden animation. "Is not his 'Lady of the Lake' such a flowing grace in imagery?"
"It is perfectly lovely," she assented, clasping her hands in cessation. "I suppose I have read it a dozen times." "And Scott's 'Marmion,' he con-
tined, and "Peveril of the Peak?" I "just dote upon them," she reall
"And Scott's' Emulsion? he continued hasty, a faint suspicion
"I think," she interrupted rashly with a glare. "the thing he ever wrote." The Publisher himself added,

I was left an orphan.
Tommy: What did you do with it?
Tit:.Bits.
HE'D BEEN TO THE FRONT
The hobo knocked at the back door and the lady of the house appeared. "Lady," he said, "I was at the front—"
"You poor man!" she exclaimed.
"One of war's victims. Wait till I tell you some food, and you shall tell me that You were in the trenches, you say?"
"Don't try to talk with your mouth full. Take your time. What deed of heroism did you do at the front?"
"Not in the trenches. I was at the front—"
A Jersey man of a benevolent turn of mind encountered a small boy in his neighborhood, who gave evidence that he was charged but lately from a severe battle.
"Why, I knocked, but I couldn't make nobody hear, so I came around to the back."—Brooklyn Citizen.
"I am sorry," said the man, "to see that you have a black eye, Sam."
CLOSE HOME

her was broken. Are ye sure yez
printed "This side up with care," on
TO BE SURE
"You go home and be sorry to
your own little boy he's got two!"
"I'll just tell her."
Casey: Oi am. An' for fear they shouldn't see it on the top Oi printed it on the bottom as well—Houston Post.
Whereupon Sammy retorted:
The local pawnbroker's shop was on fire, and among the crowd of spectators was an old woman who attracts men. She is by her sofa and cries of despair.
UNEASY
"What is the matter with you?"
"You don't own the sham do you?"
"No," she wailed, "but my old man's suit is pawned there, and he don't know it."—The Argonaut.
