The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of its students further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University seeks to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

AN INSTALLMENT PLAN
AN INSTALLMENT PLR.
Several of the local banks have advanced the plan of buying Liberty Bonds in installments of one dollar every week for forty-nine weeks when a $50 Bond will be turned over to the purchaser paid for.
A dollar down and a dollar a week will mean a bond owned inside of a year.
The idea is good and students at the University who have large allowances and wish to save their money could find no better way of putting the money away for a time when they will find a greater need for it than they have now.
A BLANKETING SQUAD
It has been suggested that the Student Council take action to see that the blanketers become organized. They should see that the blanket is handled by those who know how to handle it. What might have been a serious accident Saturday was averted only by good fortune. Those who did the blanketing would rather drop the blanket and run than have the victim fall onto their arms or in the blanket.
The unorganized work of the squae that blanketed the erring freshman and audacious upperclassman at the football game Saturday showed the crying need of more system in the propagation of good feeling toward the University traditions.
Perhaps the fault lies in the size of the blanket. If this is the case then the cheerleader should see that a suitable blanket is provided.
In any event there must be some action taken to prevent injury and the sooner it is done the better.
Banking is the only method we have of keeping the freshman cap and dateless rooting at the games and we should not endanger the offenders of the customs to such an extent that this form of punishment will be taken away.
Someone suggests that why not as long as the University is going to have these penny-in-the-slot machines to go to for their drinking cups work up a little interest in them by making the containers yield forth more than one cup on odd occasions just like cigar gambling machines?
Mister Hoover, we are for you absolutely. When you can come in and declare that candy shouldn't be eaten and shouldn't be made we feel like
rushing in and doing something nice, for you. Maybe buy you a Liberty Bond. Cause it takes a mighty big weight of our shoulders not to have to take a box of candy to the lady of our dreams anymore.
Looks as if our school was being deprived. Mrs. Eustace Brown, in Friday's Kansan advises the women not to dress up for her 3 to 5 o'clock get-acquired meeting. Right below that is something about a Phi Gamma Delta tacky party. Over on the front page they tell about the all-University party this week-end and say they want everyone to come in rustic dress. Pretty soon they'll be advertising the Prom and Hop as places to wear kitchen aprons and jumpers.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Shaveless Week at Knox
Knox College is to have a shaveys week beginning October 29 and last ing to October 26. Any man who shaves during that period of time will be punished. "Rough neck." week end Friday, with an old "coffee day."
Dormitory For Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma has
University building company incorp-
orated at $70,000. The company
plans to build a dormitory and a
safetier to be run on the co-operative plan.
Michigan Studies Patriotic
Patriotism at the University of Michigan has caused one junior to put away his pipe and tobacco. And they're going to stay put away too he says until he can save enough money to pay for a 500 Liberty Bond.
Poor Scribes to Suffer
Poor penmen will have to typewrite their themes in rhetoric this year at the University of Michigan. The instructors in English have made this rule because they are tired of straining their eyes trying to read the poor penmanship of the majority of students.
Portias at Michigan U
Women at the University of dichigan are in the majority and they have even invaded the Law school until this year has added only men.
Utah Laws Are Modest
Modesty is a failing of the Laws at the University of Utah. These same Laws like to dance but as there are no woman in the School of Law they did not know how to get in touch with enough women to make the dance interesting. After much discussion and one怒冒忍 Law thought of a plan. They are going to subpoena the women with the Barrister's club as plaintiff and social inactivity as defendant.
Frosh Women Wear Insignia
Freshman women at the University of Minnesota have distinguished themselves by donning a green button with the figures "21 upon them. The freshmen have taken it upon themselves to enforce the ruling. Self-appointed committees of one, two, and three members are stationed outside the various classes to see that no one escapes.
Formal dances among the fraternities and sororites have been entirely abolished at the University of Illinois and informals will be substituted. It is expected that the money thus saved will help to swell the war funds of the various organizations.
Soccer football is to be the new sport introduced at the University of Cincinnati this year. Teams are to compete in the freshman and sophomore gym classes
Liberty Bonds to the amount of $8,900 had been subscribed up to Tuesday at the Ohio State University and the campaign will continue until October 28. An effort will be made to get every person on the University pay roll to buy a bond. Of these 900 persons receiving pay from the University 78 now hold bonds.
Women at the University of Oregon are knitting, knitting, knitting.
Two times a week, Mondays and Thursdays, from 3 to 5 o'clock they meet in the Y. W. C. A. bungalow and sew for the American soldiers.
WHEN STOCKS ARE DULL
"Why do you telephone Bob so often?" insured a friend. "Is he home?"
The junior partner of the firm of brokers was indisposed and the senior partner was calling him up every two or three minutes.
“Oh, no,” was the reply. “but his
flower fluctuates considerably
and some of our customers are
not in their fluctuations.”—Boston Transcript
The Sunday Kansas City Star carried in its editorial section a description of conditions at the University caused by the shortage of men. It was entitled "A Man Famine at K. U." It is produced here with variations and much abridged but in the same vein as the Star write-up:
K. U. women are doing more than their part in this war. They are doing without dates because of it. The reason—well all of the men of the University have enlisted for military service and now only the "sticks and hopeless stags" are left. The worst part of it is that those sticks and stags insist on getting their lessons and for that reason the girls despise them.
THAT "FAMINE" PIPE DREAM AGAIN
All of the dancers left with the military units and those that are left feel as puch out, of place at a Varsity party as a fish does out of water.
Spooner Library is a sordid place where people go just to study and the old system of drawing straws or playing poker in the "ante"-room for the fairest damself, has gone. The follow that won the girl in those days went up to Aunt Carrie and told her his troubles. She saw that he became acquainted with the sweet thing, who hung her head and cooled softly as she was introduced.
Why only the other day on Mount Oread one of the two handsome men left (both of whom could not get into the army on account of physical disability) called up the Fly High security for a date. The girl that answered the phone recognized the voice and spread the news. There was a general scramble to the phone. In the melee that followed the effort to see who would get the date eight of the sisters were severely injured.
The other day a fellow who dared to come up on the Hill after nightfall was seized bodily and carried to Lee's College Inn where he was forced to eat sixty chocolate eclairs. Another instance comes to our attention of a fellow who got twenty bids to the same sorority party. He had to leave town the night of the party to keep peace in the chapter.
Gymnasium exercise for men is becoming popular. The weak creatures are taking track so they can outrun the co-eds who chase them down on the campus and force them to take the gang to a downtown theater.
The eleven hundred men at the University sneak over the campus between classes, ever watchful of the wiles of the co-eds. The faculty is ever on the job to see that none of the woollards are snatched away by organized bands of the co-eds.
Particular pains have been taken by Mrs. Eustace Brown to insure the safety of the men under the new ruling regulating eight o'clock classes. Seouts will be placed at every corner of the campus with wireless talking machines and unprotected males who happen on the campus before it is quite light will be accompanied by a heavy guard.
room rent is so much cheaper. A male student can get his room from five to ten dollars cheaper every month. The present student is easy to manage. He can set his own price for the rooms because he will not be over eighteen and the landlord can use the boys to keep her younger children company. The system is like adoption.
It is too bad when a girl knits all evening while she has a date, and then finds she has knitted wrong and all out. Her knitting is all it nit then.
Conditions are getting worse every day. A special appeal will be sent out to the parents of the boys in school to come to Lawrence immediately to protect their sons from the advances of the co-eds. If that won't help an appeal may be made for assistance to the Lawrence police department.
One of the football men from Washburn said that there was but a more handful of men at the college this year, averaging about one man to seven girls. But even at this ratio of 1:57, the men instead are women. Here's a tip to the editor of the Sunday Kansas City Star.
This week is the week of grace for all late sleepers.
“Remember the 29th” is the slogan of all military men on the Hill.
"Cursory Remarks On Swearing"
is the title of an article in last week's
New Republic. Here's your chance to
come new words for your vocabulary.
But even if the girls at Washburn outnumber the men it will give the men a chance to see whether "Variety is the spice of life."
A recent survey showed that 57 students at K. U. hail from Wichita, Heinz and his 57 varieties has a new rival.
Many an artist got his start by drawing cartoons in the song books at Sunday School.

Matching Pennies
Is A New Pastime
No; gambling is not on the increase in the University. Students are only matching pennies. This new pastime has been brought about by the increase in the price of tobacco and cigars. Pipe tobacco in sacks now cost six cents, while the ordinary five-cent cigar brings six cents. Tencent cigars now cost eleven cents, and tins of pipe tobacco are priced at eleven cents in some places and at twelve in others.
The war taxes are responsible. So the students who use tobacco have three or four cents in change. And pennies clutter up one's pocket so much that there is no relief except to match them.
Prices will soon be normal again, according to statements issued out of the internal revenue office at Wichita. However, the contents of snacks and this will be reduced so that the total consumer will have to pay the war tax.
