U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, and tries to ther than merely printing the news by standing for the cause. But he says no easier; to be no easier; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to be curious; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1917. A GENTLEMAN Coach Herman Olcott has decided on his part in the war. He leaves K. U, this week to help put 40,000 navy recruits into fighting trim. The University will miss Coach Olcott other than feeling the lack of his coaching in the Valley championship race. Coach Olcott has been a friend to every K. U. man that cared for his friendship. There isn't a member of the football squad that wouldn't go far out of their way to show the coach a mark of courtesy, even though he had upbraided that player for his work on the gridiron. Considering the lot of the poor freshman, pledge who must make a trip to town every day after the allotted fifty cents worth of sugar. He should be sweet about it anyway. The University regrets the loss of your service, Mr. Olcott, but she is willing to make the sacrifice in this war that you are making and we wish you well in the patriotic move. K. U. will miss Coach Olecott when the final count is to be made in the Missouri Valley melee. His work has been done well and the teams he has produced, while not of exceptional brilliance, are teams that were always ranked high in the quality of sportsmanship. He made men out of the players. He is a gentleman. THERE'S A REASON At Haskell Institute exercise has always been compulsory. This summer 100 of the Indians, picked with no particular emphasis on physique, enlisted for military service in local military units. There were just two rejected out of that number on account of physical disability. There's a reason. Think before you howl about the error of having compulsory exercise. Speaking of "The Flame"—it should have made a hit with no gas hardly and cold weather. DAYLIGHT SAVING The recent ruling of the Senate is starting the day a half hour earlier made no provision for making up for the time by proportionately advancing the schedule of the evening's work or entertainment so that the half hour that is saved by the new system is not merely taken out of the time that the student has to sleep. The clocks have been set forward thirty minutes in the classes. Let's keep the schedule all around. Begin the dances a half hour earlier. Have meetings and entertainments start sooner. Let the date rule end thirty minutes sooner. The plan to drop back to a normal schedule and still have the advantage of daylight for the military training, should be taken up by the whole University. C'mon now, speak up. How many of you men waited till announcement was made of the price of the Soph Hop before you used that phone and got that date. 'Fess up.' GIVE IT WILLINGLY And while you're going merrily along your path don't forget the new rulings going into effect. November 1 of increased rates and charges on many articles, some necessary, some unnecessary. There's railroad fares. Rooters to the Aggie game will be the first to feel the touch of war. Then at holiday time all of us living more than eighteen miles a 'ay from Lawrence will be required to pay eight per cent increase on railroad tickets. Movies will cost one cent more on the five cent movie; two cents on the ten cent admission price and on up accordingly. A date to a real show will cost something besides just taxi and tickets now. Uncle Sam must have his part. Postage rates are bothering the majority of the students most seriously. Postal cards will cost two cents to send; letters will cost three out of the city. A letter sent from one person to another person in the same city will remain at two cents. Printed postcards will go at one cent. The government should realize an enormous amount of money by this latest war tax. Every business coming under the law must give detailed account of every cent taken in. But it won't mean much to each one of us individually and it will mean much to the war fund. And that's out part in helping the good work along so we give our pennies willingly. While fraternities and sororites are cutting out wheat and meat and other needed articles of eating we of us who eat at boarding clubs live high. Yesterday for example we had eggs for breakfast, beefsteak for lunch and hash for dinner. Herbie and his cohorts had better go after the clubs along with the Greeks. WHY CRAB ABOUT IT? The men of the University have accepted the new Senate ruler for compulsory exercise five days a week with little or no protest. The new ruling means inconvenience in class schedules, giving up outside activities, and in some cases giving up good jobs. But little is heard of this. They seem to realize the necessity for physical efficiency and are backing up the Senate's plan. A mass meeting of University women was called Tuesday afternoon to discuss the new ruling as it applies to women. Opposition to the plan, or to putting it into operation immediately was expressed by many present. The reasons given were that it would cause great personal inconvenience, that student activities as they now exist would suffer, and that students were so busy they had no time for organized exercise. The women of the University have not been asked to leave school to take up men's work. They have not been asked to devote their time to war service here. The one thing that the faculty, and the National Council of Defense as well, is asking of college women is that they make themselves as efficient physically as possible in order to be ready to take up more difficult work when it comes. And the women of the University of Kansas met to protest against this one thing. Why not accept the thing which must be done in the same spirit the men have shown? Why not accept the measures which are taken to meet the emergencies of war times with a spirit of sacrifice and service? A Daily Letter Home----The Daily Kansan. OTHER OPINIONS For reasons other than the possibility of restoring the 5-cent loaf, Herbert Hoover's experiments in Philadelphia with "war bread" will be watched with interest. It may be the Philadelphia experiments will prove to the satisfaction of the nation what food experts, physicians and students can learn from, and able to show, that, for reasons of stomach as well as pocketbook, America cannot continue to throw away more than half of its wheat. NIX ON THE WHITE BREAD White flour crept into popularity in this country because of the great demand for pastry. No other country in the world uses as much finely bolted flour. Bread made from white flour is expensive from the standpoint of digestion as well as money. But year after year, the amount of whole wheat and even graham bread eaten in the United States remains strikingly small. We raise much rye, and rye bread has been the sustenance of the peasant classes of Europe, but rye bread has been used in Kashmir mainly for the concealment of the slice of limburger cheese that was one of the components of the late but not lamented Dutch lunch. Few women know more than one or two corn meal dishes, and these generally are pane and porridge. For a generation America has had the white bread habit. We have prepared potential trips to Battle Creek and the Mayo brothers from a small per cent of our wheat and made cowfeed and hog stop from the rest. If Hoover can overcome the American prejudice against whole wheat, rye and corn breads, he will have achieved a strategic victory that will go a long way in the solution of his problem of food for the world.—Emopora Gazette. Sophomores at Colorado College will give a barbecue in the gymnasium Wednesday evening. Each sophomore has three tickets at fifty cents per ticket. Students frantically trying to get rid of at least one of the cardboards. ON OTHER "HILLS" The Camp Fire Girls of America has been organized among the women at the University of Texas. These women expect to help in organizing Camp Fires among the younger girls in the communities over the state. More than fifty men are enrolled in the aviation courses offered in the engineering department of the University of Michigan. Dramatic Art Class Plays "Tilda's New Hat!" and "Miss Oakley's New Telephone" are the titles of the two plays to be given by the dramatic art class Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Room 3, Green Hall.
