The Daily Kansan mints to picture the undergraduates in Kansan, to go for further than merely printing the news that the university holds, to play the three varsity hoops, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be quiet; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; in all, to qualify the students of the University.
COMPULSORY DRILL
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1917
The committee of the Senate that has been assigned o figure out the course the University will take as regards military drill at the University, will report to the Senate tomorrow.
The subject is indeed a big one but so far not a step of progress has been made in any direction. One report from the committee was unsatisfactory and two week were put at their disposal to figure out a solution to the problem. A solution must be reached and putting the issue off will never bring about the solution.
The Kansan's stand on the matter is clear. The Kansas believes in military training. It believes that the University has in its student body and faculty men who are skilled enough to train the other students and to train them well. Military training would be a good substitute for gymnasium. It should be compulsory for freshmen and sophomores but should be open to junior and seniors with credit.
At any rate let's end the suspense
The same regulation that holds in regard to the giving credit for gymnasium should hold in the military training. The only difference should be that of letting the drill be optional with the upperclasmen and of giving them credit for the work.
CLASS MEMORIALS
Has the sentiment of the student turned against the class memorial or has the tradition of each class adding some little memento to the campus been forgotten?
Last year, for the first time in years, nothing was left by the graduating class to let the student of the future know that there was such a thing as a class of 1916. This year the same condition promises to hold true. The seniors collected money toward a fund in their sophomore year but last year none of the classes thought it important enough to have the annual tag day.
The class officers are making their appointments now. They should see to it that the memorial committee is not the "shop over" committee where the political backers are placed merely as a figure head with no regard to their suitability.
The class memorial is as important, as a University tradition, as is the freshman cap. Every class should start a fund, if they do not already have one, for a class memorial.
PURE WATER
The statement of Dr. Ida H. Hyde who made special investigation of the matter, that the water supply of the University is unft to drink should bring immediate action from the University authorities in an effort to see that pure water is supplied for drinking purposes.
The Chancellor will ask the Board
of Administration for an emergency
appropriation of about $100 to provide sanitary cups for the water containers in the buildings on the campus. Last year as much as $700 was spent for the paper cups and now, with the water in an unfit condition, the fountains cannot be used and the distilled water cannot be used with out cups.
The city water company promises relief in two months. But in the meantime the University must have pure water. The appropriation will assure this. The sooner the appropriation goes through the better.
LIBERTY BONDS AND K. U.
Governor Capper has asked the cooperation of the students of the University in the sale of Liberty Bonds. It is true the students, at least a large per cent of them, have little or no money to invest in the bonds but that does not do away with the responsibility of the students to help the good work along. A word from many of the students to Dad would mean the purchase of one or more of the bonds. It is one way of doing a little something to show our hats are in the ring. Do it.
"University Pastime'
"The University Pastime," a six by eight inch, four page magazine, published semi-monthly in 1878 by two students, Messervy and Thatcher, was the first student publication of the University of Kansas.
The editorial aim was "to create a greater interest in the amusements and recreations which tend to rest the brains and invigorate the bodies of the University students. The editors expressed the intention, still in progress, to increase the "Pastime" a "live" journal. Space was to be devoted largely to outdoor sports, the Cadets, base ball, and boating; but select parties, chess, and the several societies, were promised due attention. Women were not forbidden this literary medium, because the editors expressly state that, "the students will receive an education and we especially solicit articles from them."
The sports column for September 16, 1878, follows;
BASE BALL
For the last few years base ball has been but little played by our students. Indeed there was not a single important contest during the past school year and it seemed as if our national game was entirely forgotten ten.
During the summer, however, the rays aroused themselves a little and a boy climbed up the wall.
The most notable of these was the match between the Lawrence members of the two secret organizations Phi Kap and V. C. The game resulted in the defeat of the latter, score 15 to 6.
The chief features of the game were the magnificent fielding of Arms for the Phi Kaps, and the sky over Fee and Meservy on the V. Cs.
It is reported that the V. Cs, are not dead yet, and will soon challenge the Phi Kaps for another game.
A primitive editorial effort fol-
Saturday night while quietly resting in the arms of Morpheus, we were aroused from our dreams, by the soothing sounds of music at our window. After hearing a few demands as to "who that was a snoring" and remarks to him that we decided that something must be done and that immediately. After looking vainly around for our gun and measuring the distance between ourselves and the musicians we at last came to the conclusion that nothing but a speech would quiet them. We immediately gave a short but decided cation, which judged us well, and for we heard considerable laughter from the motely assembly below. Our remarks had the desired effect, and we soon had that pleasure of hearing our tormentors depart.
A SERENADE
We have since learned that it was a Phi Kappa sorenade, and although we feel much honored, still we hereby announce that we have five horse pistols, a variety of horse pistols, dogs, pop squirrels and rotten eggs for future invaders.
AFTER DAYS
When the last gun has long withheld
the enemy's fire, you can drive the farre
strong men shall drive the farre
Unlttabled they shall hear the loud
And gusty driving of the rains,
And birds with immemorial voice
Sing as of old in leafy laxes.
straight in some remembered battle field.
The stirred, tainted soil shall be Again in a flowery paradise—Pure with the memory of the death and Pure for that she sacrifice. —Eric Chilman

POET'S CORNER
"Against my second coming,"
"Against My Second Coming (By Willard Wattles)
Against my second coming
Christ the Lord hath said,
"Provide with driven thunder
The position for my bad.
Make plain the path before me
With lightning from the skies
When unbelief shall open
11
When unbelief shall open And all the dead arise.
"With patience beyond wisdom And knowledge beyond grace

I have prepared my peoples At last to hear my face;
At last to bear my face;
By many intimations
And all the lone discover They never were alone.
"Phonics are easy now, counting,
"Ten million young men lightly
Shall charge the gates of death,
Until, grown still with wonder,
"Against my second coming."
They know how far they came
Through many habitations
Eternally the same.
With instant whirls of light,
And on the clouds of heaven
My winged feet are bright;
Beneath the seas I smile them.
"Behold, I knit the nations
And through the mountain's core
the splendor of my courses
Escapees the granite door.

For fishing-boats are paper, And oceans, Galilee.
"The shining page my hillside.
"The shining page my hillside, I need no credible ear.
I walk no more among you
On an open and lonely foot
But yet my hand is on you, And still my lips are sweet.
"My perfect consummation
Ye cannot put aside,
I am the living Jesus
Who will not be denied;
The moment of your anguish,
When all seemed dead but death,
I drew you to my bosom," . .
The good Lord Jesus saith.
OTHER OPINIONS
THE FOLKS AT HOME
Are you giving enough thought to the folks at home who are making it possible for you to attend College? Are you appreciative of the many good wishes and of the letters you receive from your friends as well as from your immediate family? There is a way in which you may keep your parents and your friends informed as well as just what you're doing in College, and just what your College is doing in many different lines of activities. They are interested in everything you do and in everything your College does.
The way in which you may keep the folks at home informed of life in the College is this: Each week when you have finished reading The Orange and Black, do not toss it to one side, but take it to the College. Make it reach more people and advertise your College at home by wrapping it up, placing a stamp on it and mailing it to mother, or to some friend who would be glad to get it. You can also by doing this, and incidentally increase the interest on your investment.
Your mother is still just as interested in her big boy or big girl as she was when she used to tuck the covers around you at night before she went to her bed. Do not forget her or forget dad in the happiness of your college life. Let them know you are contented and happy, and what you and your College are doing and they, too, will be happy.
There may be some friend you would like to have come to this College next year. You may do wonders by helping him or her get acquainted with the students and the college paper. Let them know the students, the athletes and the College and they will soon have a pride in the College and begin to feel like it was their College; too; and then next year will be easily persuaded to come here.
Men make pals easily among themselves and so do women. But it is difficult for men and women to be
Do this. Don't just think it a good idea and not do it. If you are not already putting this in practice, do it now. Don't let the papers go to them or let some one else derive a benefit from them — Black and Orange.
How many students have had the experience of knowing what a true palm means? Perhaps not many, but they are one of the strongest today that few have the courage to deviate from the prescribed path long enough to experience the bigness and true spirit that comes from having true friends and being
JUST PALS
Gradually the world is coming to realize that women may enter man's sphere on the same basis as a man. Everyone looks forward to the time when women can be truly independent and free, going wherever they wish, without restrictions in their thoughts and living their lives outside the banner of "the weaker sex."
pals to each other. Convention has prescribed her dogmatic rules and, unfortunately, in most cases the association of a man and woman is looked upon as being a "prospective match." This barrier has cost more people the experience of real friendship than can be estimated.
Happy is the man or woman who has learned the value of a true pal. Happy is the individual who finds someone who appreciates things for their true worth—the beauty of nouns, colors, fragrances, and charm of music, the value of personal interest and sympathy—and delights in sharing these joys in common.
Speed the day when University men and women will oversteep convention and be true pals to one another, while those who are not true pals and fineness of true friendship and being just plain pals—Ohio State Lantern.
CAMPUS OPINION
To The Editor:
Do the professors really have office hours or do they just say they have as a joke? Have you gone to any office and expected to find the professor there at his advertised office hours? Yes, and if you waited for him to arrive you would still be waiting.
It may be a funny thing but it is a fact that some students are busy at times, and when they call at a professor's office at his supposedly office hours, it would be a great relief to find him there. But a greater majority of them have a habit of entering the classroom of the hour, Professors, why not let us know your "honest to goodness" office hours?
