The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the class, rather than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas. Students are not only no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous to challenge themselves; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to educate and stimulate the students of the university.

INVITING CRITICISM
WHAT THEY NEED
The columns of the Kansan are always open to students and faculty members for the voicing of their opinions. There are features of life at the University or topics of the day that call for comment. The Kansan is willing to give both sides of any question that is hanging fire. Effort to make the paper representative of the spirit of fair play that is striven for, will be appreciated. If you have a grouch, let's hear about it. Then, too, if you know of something that is worth while, call attention to it and let others enjoy it. You have an opinion, voice it.
These are the ones who are howing about the injustice of taking exercise.
Did you ever see 'em on the hill? Those fagged, pale, stoop-shouldered, pepless women with deep dark circles under their eyes. They spend all day in the library and all night at work. Or they go to three dances every week-end and to the movies every night. Perhaps all their time is not spent this way but they are pale and haggard and unattractive all the same.
There are worse things than five hours of cross country or hockey or aesthetic dancing or basketball every week. Why not try it and see.
GOOD WORK
The Kansan's suggestion that a blanket squad be organized for the punishment of capless freshmen and dated upperclassmen was tried out at the game Saturday and it worked. The only trouble is now that too many do not try to get around the blanket and try to help with the good work. Too many interfere with the running about to keep the blanket under the victim.
The crowd was much agitated at the game lest there was not enough about the blanket. The proper number had been experimented with before the game. Leave the matter to the cheerleader. He is responsible for the undertaking and will see that it is done right.
A SWEET TOOTH
He's a big puggy bird that talks loud and long on patriotism.
He would rather talk war than any other subject. He hangs about the drug store and pool hall with frequent
outbursts on what he would do if he was only one of the fighting men in the great war.
Then he goes home and the folks at home inform him that they are cooperating with the food administration in not serving sugar or desserts made of sugar. Then the howl goes up. He is abused. This injustice will not be tolerated. He's got to have his sugar. He bawls until he gets it and then he plays the hog.
You know him. Go out of you way to swat him.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor:
Some surprise has been expressed this morning that two representative women of the University should come out and publicly condemn the system of physical exercise which is now being established. It is all very well that we support it and every woman in the University is now a member of some district to do Red Cross work. But winding bandages, and knitting is indoor work and has none of the benefits of exercise. At least 109 women have been found to be physically unfit for the exercises offered and knitting will not cure these defects. If war continue after draft reforms are sent to France the women will be compelled to work in the fields and do other heavy work just as the English women are doing now. Will these frail creatures who study all day and sit around and sew or knit or attend pink tails and dances the rest of their waking hours be able to get out in the fields? Yes, they are absolutely essential to keep an army in the field. No, they would last only one day.
If Red Cross work is so pressing why not give up the regular number of dances, parties and social engagements which now seem so essential to school life then there would be time for Red Cross and physical exercise both. Just because physical exercise does not produce immediate results no reason for obtaining to a moment in place the American youth on a plane where fifty percent of our young men will not be refused for military service. Therefore lets quit kicking and exercise in some useful way.
Yours for health. M. R

ON OTHER "HILLS"
The zoology students at Indiana State University have turned over their key deposits to the university bursar to be the Deputy Doctor Scott of the zoology department will be personally responsible for lost keys.
Freshmen in an English class at Marquette University have been advised to write crisbs and make them as long as they want to. Upon entering the room where the examination is to be given, students are taught that they will not need them; they will already know all there is in the crib.
Soldier Not Dangerous
Eighty-seven per cent of the American men who go to war will return, if they will take proper care of their health is the statement made by a former professor of medicine at Marquette University.
Women Drill at Michigan
A course in military marching for women conducted by a regular drill master is to be offered at the University of Michigan. A complete military organization of at least a company, and perhaps a battalion, with strict military discipline are features of the new plan.
A four year course in military training has been started at the University of Minnesota. The first two years which are compulsory are devoted to the more practical side of military science, and the last two years are more theoretical. The primary purpose of the four year's course is to prepare the men for the officers reserve.
Four Years Military Training
A former junior at Colorado College now in the service of Uncle Sam has a new way of getting letters from women. He and twenty-five of his friends club together, each writing the name of a young woman on a slip of paper and then drawing lots to determine who shall write to each of the women. Then when the answers come in the letters are passed around.
An appropriate name for their athletic field is the claim which the students at the University of Colorado make. They call it Gamble field.
The Board of Regents at the University of Minnesota is probing the charges of disloyalty against members of the faculty. One man has been found guilty and not a woman have been up before the Board to explain their views.
Whenever that cold wind sends a chill through you remember those warm days you complained of last summer.
The Kansan even has the weather reports in it, and then some student tries to say that it isn't much of a paper.
The war has done at least one hing for the boys—they don't have a tote, a big box of candy with them. The girls don't have girls girls have put a ban on the sweets.
The boys are wondering what they will do when the girls get their uniforms and start wearing them. They are afraid that they will be unable to pick out certain ones in the maze of uniformity.
The Kansan office was edited enough Saturday. About forty editors from the Second district were guests at the office.

The typewriter this is written on is named very appropriately—Underwood—do you get it?
In one of the headers of the Kansas we find "Gym to be all dressed up" and that's really a pretty strange thing for the gym, especially if you go over there during some of the gym classes.
"A daily letter home—The Daily Kananan." Some of the students try to tell us that they write their letters home but when they rely on this resource, they do not. Jobs at home it doesn't materialize the right results, materially speaking.
