U. 35 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news and sharing it; to diversify her varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10.1917 MILITARY DRILL While the student body, as a whole is in favor of military drill at the University, several serious questions attend its adoption. It cannot well be held at any other time than in the afternoons and for a period of not less than an hour and a half each day to be effective. Under these conditions how can it be kept from taking away students' laboratory and library work? Will the students who are working their way through school be forced to drop their work? How about the medics who have classes from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.？ Are uniforms to be used and if so will the students have to stand the expense? Altogether it seems that the faculty has a very perplexing problem on its hands. BUY A TICKET Put away your sport-shirt, Percy, and dig up your jersey and ear muffs. Athletics is one student enterprise that seldom needs to be artificially boosted. It receives spontaneous support; and all that is needed to set it off is a rally or two. Every student supports athletics in one way or another. The question now resolves itself from the above platitude into this: "How shall I support the teams with the best advantage to both myself and the school?" The best answer is: "Buy an Enterprise Ticket." Not only does this compact little season ticket give one from twenty to twenty-five dollars worth of entertainment, thus effecting a great saving to the student, but it also gives the department of athletics the benefit of the purchase price at once, thus enabling it to pursue its activities unhampered by delinquent gate receipts. To freshmen and new students who are unfamiliar with the tickets, it may be explained that these student enterprise tickets admit the holder to practically every student event of the year, including football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and track contests, as well as debates and concerts by University musical organizations. In words of two syllables, they admit to everything under the big tent, and all for five paltry iron men. Tickets will go on sale this week, at the registrar's office. Line up and do your duty by supporting the team in the coming Emporia game. Why is it that when you hook your watch and have a penknife fastened to the end of your watch-chain to weight it down in your pocket, every fellow you meet wants to know what time it is? THE FOUR SEMESTER YEAR Although ther seem to be many disadvantages to the four quarter school year now being considered by the Senate, there are at least five advantages of the four-quarter year over the two-semester year. The shortening of the terms would mean that the two and three hour courses would be superceded by four and five hour courses. This would mean a more intensive study of a subject, since in a two or three hour course too much time intervenes between the recitations, and the student loses interest. Courses would be terminated in less time, as the recitations would be more frequent. It is difficult for a student working his way through school to earn enough during the summer to carry him through the year. By this new system a student could go to school one quarter and then stay out until he had earned, enough money to resume his work. Their students could continue their studies without intermission, thus being able to complete a four-year course in three years. Summer school students could get three months work instead of the customary six weeks. On the other hand, the present system has many advantages that must not be overlooked. The University Senate has not yet met to debate the question; and without a doubt a thorough investigation of both sides of the case will be made before any decision is reached. The problem is a great one, and the change is so fundamental that it ought not to be made hurriedly. Speaking of graft, there's this story of the juvenile variety: Jimmie: "Yep, I see Mag Smithers give you a nickel to kiss her! Come across wit two cents or I'll tell everybody!" OTHER OPINIONS LITTLE SNOBBISHNESS The Journal-World published the poem by Willard Wattles, "The War at Home," because anything from Mr. Wattles' brilliant pen is worthy of publication, and not because of the obsilliance of the poet. The obsoillence assumed in the poem. The editor of the Journal-World has been fairly familiar with fraternities, sororites and social life at K. U. for as many years as Wattles is old, and during all of that time there has been little of the snobishness that one finds so common in older schools. At K. U. the worthy daughters of small tradesmen, farmers and of poor parents, have been taken into sororites, which have put up bups to those who expected wealth to buy their education, but whose true also of the boys. Members of fraternities have not thought it beneath their dignity to wait tables, work as harvest hands, dig trenches for sewers, or to do any other form of manual labor. A large number have been employed in various capacities, such as a workroom, the mechanical department, as well as in the front office. Another thing, which doubtless has escaped Mr. Wattles attention, is that of the men who have enlisted from the university, and of the men who have won appointments at the training school. The group have fraternity men. The active chapter of Sigma Chi alone having thirty men in the service. So long as the University of Kansas is headed by Chancellor Frank Strong, with his broad and intelligent view of democracy, and has its present type of broad-minded men and women as members of its faculty, there is little danger of its breeding snobs. It is usually taken for granted that snobbishness is found only among those who have more money than the rank and file, or who have risen a step or two on the social ladder, but this is a mistake. The greatest snob in the world are those way down in the so-called social scale, but who believe themselves to be slightly above others with whom they are placed. The greatest snob we have ever seen was an Italian bootleak, in Chicago, who had been a powerful recognition of shine stand, with perhaps recognition in underworld politics. And this is written by one who believes that any boy or girl on the hill, who maintains a standard of excellence in scholarship and who recognizes the rights of others, is just as good outside of a fraternity, as well within it and is far better than the boy or girl who, expecting membership in a Greek letter society to win recognition, neglects the very essentials, a college education is expected to give.—Journal World. COLLEGE MEN AND THEM DUTY TO COUNTRYS FLAG Most men are called to do the world's common work. They are just laborers, skilled or unskilled. They are inclined, or almost compelled, such to remain. They feel little or no impulse of the higher ambition. They lack the far-off look. In the present crisis no men are more thoroughly devoted in their principles, more vigorous in their enthusiasm for the nation, than the college men. The experiences of these pregnant days are the repetition of the experiences of the Civil, and of the Spanish American War. The need, however, of American youth is the need of doing their common work in uncommon ways. They are liable to be contented with the ordinary in achievement and character. They are fearful of being different. "Being different" may awaken ridicule or envy. The power of ordinary work in a way far other than ordinary is to be increased, disciplined, developed. The most effective method of securing such development lies in education. CLASSIFIED WANTED FOR SALE OR RENT FOR RENT- One double room for Front room. Phone 17-23-7 1308 Ky.
