The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the school, then more than merely printing the news by standing for it, but also playing to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious headwiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

A SUCCESSFUL PARTY
Quoting from the Forty Years Ago column:
"The sweet young maids with beaming cheeks and flowing hair looked very pretty in their starchy gingham gowns as they swayed to the strains of the beautiful Blue Danube waltz with their flashing beaux in Robinson's barn last Saturday night."
It didn't happen quite that way Saturday night in Robinson Gymnasium at the All-University party sponsored by Mrs. Eustace Brown but there were plenty of back-homey ideas to impress one of the fact that Halloween is the time of good things to eat and near winterish features and good times.
The music was right; the decorations were quaint; the crowd was feeling great; the floor was smooth enough and the All-University Halloween student party by the students for the faculty stopped at midnight Saturday with the words on many lips of its being the best yet.
And folks with the old fashioned ideas about dancing weren't disappointed either. The Virginia Reel went off fine and the fairy minstrels and moon and fairy dances, all were well worth the efforts the committee put in on making the party a success.
The Kansan has asked for the names of the faculty on the Hill that hold classes overtime. It has also sent out an appeal to turn in the names of the freshmen that are violating the tradition of wearing the freshman cap.
LET'S HAVE NAMES
The Kansan wishes to congratulate the managers of the party on their success.
To date the names of only three freshmen have been turned in and none of the faculty have been reported as holding the classes after the whistle blew.
The Kansan expects the co-operation of the rest of the school in seeing that such traditions as the freshman cap is not done away with, or in seeing that classes are not held over after the time they should be dismissed. Publishing the names in either case brings results so do your part to see that neither of the fenders gets away without his "punishment."
TWO IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
TWO IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED Certainly, most of the students of the University live down the Hill either to the east or to the north or
south. But with an increase in the Lawrence population some students have found comfortable rooms west of the campus, out past the Engineering building. Like all other students these folks come to the library or go to town once in a while after dark. And what greets them both going and coming? Ask them. They will tell you muddy crossings and dark street corners and black streets. They want a light placed at the extreme end of the campus—a light that will light their paths when coming home after dark.
Speaking of muddy crossings, is there an appropriate crossing or entrance to the campus? The rock serving as a sidewalk on Fourteenth street are worse than no walk when there is the least bit of moisture Other approaches are equally bad. Let's have some action on the matter before it rains again.
ONE TYPE OF JOKE
Will the Journalism Jazz to be staged by K. U. be followed by a pi social? - Hutchinson Gazette.
No, but we intend to do like all real papers and fold ourselves up and go to bed and pull the sheet over us.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Women Sell Peanuts
Women students as peanut vendors at the homecoming football at the University of Illinois raised $394 for the war fund. Of course the women sold something besides peanuts. Choco and gum were sold by the 168 women.
They're Sorry Now
The library of the University of Virginia is closed at nights as a war economy measure and now the students and faculty want it open.
Frosh Win Cane Rush
The annual came rush at the University of Vermont was won last week by the freshman class. They also defended the sophomores in a tug-of-affair.
A vigilance committee has been appointed at the University of Utah to see that no one violates the rules and traditions of the campus. Not only is the committee to enforce the rules regulating the conduct of underclasthen, but the juniors and seniors are to receive attention also.
Ohio State University is in the midst of a big Liberty Loan drive. Already the athletic board has subscribed $3,000 in Liberty Loan bonds. Recently every student in the University was solicited by a member of the university's G.A. team. There were eighteen teams of ten members each and each member was assigned to interview twenty-five students.
Another product of the war showing the increasing interest in the French language is the organization of a new society, the "Cercle Francais (French Club) at the University." The subject of the club is to foster the feeling of reverence and love for the French nation.
"Leave your poodes at home," is the advice given to the women at the University of Texas by the writer of the Prickley Pearagraph column of The Daily Texan. It seems that someone in Dallas has called the university women the undemocratic silk-stocking crowd.
Now that K. U. women are to have military exercise the question of a uniform for campus wear comes up. Dean Dien Templin, and other members of the faculty believe that a uniform should be worn.
A picnic for the new members o. the faculty at Colorado College gave last Wednesday by the "veterans." They hiked up an alpine, Cara Mountain, in bonfire, and played ball just like ordinary folks, and enjoyed it too.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Daily Kansan:—
The adoption of a uniform would blot out that old complaint, so long lodged against the women students,—that their school clothes are not of the tailored character appropriate for street wear. The uniform in reducing the style and quality of clothes to a level would be a powerful fraternity degree; in developing it as a business; a feature especially appropriate during the war. French women soon after the outbreak of war adopted the simple one-piece serge dress for streetwear. It has been suggested that K. U. women wear a one-piece or Peter Thompson dress, made of blue serge or regulation olive
Practically all women students have their wardrobe bought for the present winter months, so the uniform regime could hardly be inaugurated before spring. But the adoption of a uniform would solve many problems, make for neatness, efficiency and a feeling of unity among students, in addition to getting in line with dress conservation.
drab. Tailored suits of the same materials is another suggestion. For warm weather wear the uniforms should be of linen or cotton material.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
In regard to compulsory training for women, we wish to state that, in our opinion, a great deal of time is about to be wasted which might be spent more profitably. If the time given over to general exercise were to be spent in knitting, bandaging, or other on a Cross or a Crossing, another crossing need would be met. The government has asked the women of the country to co-operate in this way and why should not the women of K. U. do their bit?
When our soldiers are lacking sufficient protection from the cold and the hospitals need supplies, would it not be more in keeping with the spirit of the times for the University women to give their time and services where they are most needed? Now is the time when every moment is precious and should be used in the most advantageous way.

OTHER OPINIONS
ORGANIZE YOURSELF
It is a common occurrence to hear students state that they are too busy to do such and such a thing. They explain their present activities to you, in many cases, really are justified thinking they are doing a great amount of work.
One fundamental point is nearly always overlooked. Take your own case for example. Have you ever stopped to consider just how many minutes you actually waste each day? Little points often unthought of, occupy more time than you have than they are yourself, because that is needless waste, and if put to its proper use, is bound to bring not only advantages to others, but to yourself.
The busiest individuals on the campus somehow find a space to pause and chat, and help others make life worth living. Look into the number of people who are paid, put them by side with yours, then wonder how they do it.
The answer is so simple it doubtless will surprise any person who has not thought it out. In a nutshell, it is the third thing, then turning to another, doing that and going on with the third. Only one thing at a time is attempted. That is settled before going on with the third. Only one thing at a time is attempted. That is settled before going ahead with another. The whole system revolves around organizing one's time, and one's ability, and make it your in-
Lock into it and apply it to your individual case. The good which will come from it may well startle you... Michigan Daily.

It Is Good To Live
when one can revive youth in the lives of one's children, or in bringing home the memories of adventure—thoughts of youth-time. Richard Walton Tully helps to do this in his latest great success. Child love and adventure are found in the drama which tells of the life of two lovers in a Latin American Republic. The settings are ravishing in their beauty.
