The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students rather than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas taught in class and offering no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to serve serious problems wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

TYPHOID INOCULATION
Less than 300 students have taken the inoculation for typhoid this year. Of this number a large percentage after taking the first inoculation have not returned for the second or third.
This condition exists in the face of repeated definite warnings from University health authorities that investigations of city water have shown it to be unsafe. City water is contaminated from surface drainage. Daily analyses of the water have been made, and Dr. Ida H. Hyde of the University Health Board says that conditions will not improve for at least two months.
K. U. AND ART
Few students are drinking boiled or distilled water at rooming or boarding houses. One woman is ill with typhoid at the hospital now; another case is suspected. Must last year's epidemic be repeated, and some student lives be lost, before students can be made to realize their danger, and take this simple precautionary measure?
Did you ever take time to visit the art collection on the third floor of the Administration building?
Spend an afternoon looking through the collection and you will be well paid. Tapestry, rugs, embroideries, every stage in the evolution of lamps, snuff-bottles, chop sticks, all have their place in the big collection.
Up there, cramped together in an out of the way place is an art collection that has put Kansas on the map in the world of art collections. The collection, made up of over 5,000 different curios, is valued at $150,000. Mrs. W. B. Thayer has given the collection temporarily to the University with the provision that a suitable place be found for its exhibition.
Before you can shake off that odd feeling that comes with viewing of the antiques, you will be a booster for a suitable place for the collection.
Kansas is missing a good bet if they pause in the effort for suitable housing for the collection. Every university in the country has tried to land the collection and now that it is insured to us we should work all the harder to see that it remains here.
K. U. is on the map now as having an art collection that surpasses anything in the West and compares so favorably with the collection of the eastern universities that art collectors of repute in the East are sending their contributions to the Thayer collection that is stored more after the fashion of an antique store than an art exhibition.
Let's pull together for some suitable place on the campus for the collection which means a big step forward for the University.
COLLEGE HONORS
The accusation has been made and perhaps justly so that enthusiasm and
the spirit to go forward and be a leader in student life at the University is lacking. The example given was that of the recent class election when in two classes only one ticket was out and in the others there was only a spiritless fight. Then comes the further proof in the statement that only one person came out for each of the vacancies on the Student Council athletic board.
In debating, in glee ctub work, in boosting organizations, the same thing holds true. There is not enough effort to pay back to the University some of the things that the student gets from the University.
The spirit of getting acquainted is lacking. A person high in national affairs said recently that he would rather his son go through the first year of college and know one hundred students by their first names than that he rank highest in his classes. Perhaps his idea of getting acquainted is a bit exaggerated, but there is a happy medium which should be sought by all.
It isn't the "grind" that gets through school to make a success out of himself. It is more the student that can meet a person and gain that person's respect that will mount the ladder of success.
Take pride in school honors and try for them.
NAMES OF FRESHMEN
The Kansan believes in the good that can be accomplished by publicity. Two weeks ago the Kansan started publishing the names of the professors that held classes overtime after the whistle blew for dismissal. No complaints have reached us in the last few days.
Now comes the plan, devised by the Sachems, to publish the names of the freshmen who fail to wear their caps. The Kansan hopes the whole University will cooperate with the Sachems in this scheme to see that the tradition of wearing the cap stays even though padding has been abolished
A freshman comes here with the intention of living up to the customs of the school. He must live up to the yearling cap tradition. The names will be printed if they are turned in and students who find out that some freshman is doing reform work of his own volition should devise means to destroy that idea.
OTHER OPINIONS
Drop the Formals
At two universities in the west, formal affairs are to be dropped for the year on account of the war. At the University of Wisconsin a committee for the regulation of activities has been formed under the women studen-ture work council and this committee has put the ban on all formal parties.
At the University of Nebraska the pannellencian council, on a suggestion from the faculty committee on student organizations, recommended that all formal affairs be stopped for the year.
This seems to be a logical and wise step, in view of the conditions that exist today. Mention has been made time and again by officials of all the universities that this is not the time for extravagant and frivolous activity, but a mutually supportive influence in amusement with additional stress laid on educational pursuits.
The American mind has been slow to realize the seriousness of war and has been reluctant to give up things that have been a matter of course in times of peace. The time has arrived when sacrifices must be made.
The Pan-Hellenic Council or the faculty committee on amusements and receptions should recommend to the organizations of the University that formal parties be suspended for the year—Ohio State Lantern.
FREEDOM
Be just at home; then write you scroll
Of honor o'er the sea,
And bid the broad Atlantic roll,

United States! the ages plead,
Present and past in under-song.
Go put your creed into your deed.
Nor speak with double tongue.
