The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news and providing a supportive university holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to serve to the university; to help the students of the University.

THOSE CIGARETTES
Whether the members of Company M have a legal right to sell cigarettes to students is not the question. Nor should there be any words wasted in an effort to decide whether the Company M "canteen," situated at a point some distance from the camp, is under military or state law.
The point is that it is against public opinion and public sentiment for any person—soldier or civilian—to sell cigarettes to the youth of Kansas. That was decided upon when the state law was passed, and the support the law has received is proof that it is a wise law.
And that word "donate," by the way, brings up a tender subject. If K. U. students had responded liberally at the convocation Friday, and given Company M a fund of $500, instead of the paltry $80 that was collected, our soldier boys would not have to go into the store business to get money to buy the comforts they need.
Those K. U. men who smoke cigarettes are gentlemany enough not to raise a fuss over Chancellor Strong's ruling ordering the removal of the company canteen. And in case they feel that the operation of the canteen is necessary to enlarge the "company fund," perhaps it would be a good idea if they donated the price of three or four packages of "pills" and said nothing.
After working all summer, we will now take a couple of month's vacation before the semester examinations.
TYPHOID INOCULATIONS
Now that the alarming news comes from many Kansas towns to the effect that typhoid in its most serious form is being found, it is up to us to keep awake. Every student on the Hill is entitled to free typhoid inoculation and if each student avails himself of the opportunity, the University of Kansas will have done its share in stamping out a dreadful state-wide epidemic.
Last year, hundreds of students were given inoculation at the University Hospital; and that, more than any other thing, helped reduce the number of casualties from the disease during the epidemic in Lawrence. Students who have never been inoculated should take advantage of the free treatment given by the University medical authorities.
It doesn't cost anything, it can't hurt much, and it may do a world of good.
Why is it that you always pass the most fascinating looking co-ed when you're walking with a prof?
ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS
ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS For the first time this year, the Kansan is printing a communication from a member of the student body. Regardless of whether the communication receives the attention that it may or may not deserve, the writer had the right idea when she sent it to the Kansan for publication. Unquestionably there is room for argument as to whether women should knit in classes—and the Kansan is a good place to "have it out."
But that's not all. The Kansan is a good forum in which to have most anything discussed. Officially, the Kansan is the voice of the student body—and that voice cannot be truly representative unless members of the student body feel free to send us communications regarding anything they wish to write about.
Obviously, we can't print all that are sent in. But things that are of more than ephemeral interest we should like to see discussed in the Kansan, by members of the student body other than the Kansan staff.
Have you a grouch on a prof who holds classes overtime? That's old stuff—but it won't hurt to take a dig at the gentleman. Perhaps your communication will be the one to reform him. Don't you like the way the Chancellor conducts convocations, or the way his committees arrange the class schedule, or the manner in which his workmen trim the lawn? Write the Kansan about it—and air your views before the whole University family.
Communications of all kinds must be signed; so that those in charge here may be assured of the good faith of the writer. Names will not be used in the paper, however, unless the writer so requests.
What's your grouch? Speak up!
And so they're really going to build the rest of the Administration Building? Now if somebody could just persuade the legislature to give us a clock for Blake Hall that would really keep time!
GET ACQUAINTED
This is perhaps the busiest week and the longest week that freshmen will experience for some time. In the excitement of the day-while they rush frantically about, getting enrolled, and finding out-of-the-way classroom in strange buildings—they are probably able to forget temporarily at least, the folks back home. But there is an ache that comes later when they are alone in their rooms with just one companion or one old chum to ward off home-sickness.
Fortunately, homesickness doesn't last long. There is too much to do here—too many people to meet—too many absorbing things happening, not to soon wean the freshman away from nights of sad solitude in his room.
Freshmen ought to take advantage of every opportunity to get acquainted as rapidly as possible. They should introduce themselves to their fellow classmates—as they meet on the way down the Hill, at boarding clubs, or in the classroom. We're all members of a great big family up here—and it's up to each one of us, individually, to "get acquainted."
CAMPUS OPINION
But remember the adage: "Make acquaintances rapidly—friends slowly."
Knitting in church is now considered a patriotic duty. The preacher's oratory does not seem to meet the meantime the soldiers are clothed.
WHY KNOT KNIT?
J. L. M.
It seems unfortunate that young women attending the University of Kansas, who patriotically knit before classes, must put their kneedles into their bags at the beginning of the class session. Good knitters do not give their work a thought, as is evidenced by women who knit in the dark, or men in rapid conversation, or women and women of the faculty only put patriotism before pride, the women of the University might knit for the soldiers during class hours, except when note-taking is necessary.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Poor: "What made Vulean lame?" Simp: "Why he slipped on a thunder peal!"

This tendency needs to be checked. While one remains in the University, it is fair to assume that he feels this to be his place of duty for the time and space available. He must his duty to give the best of his efforts to the tasks which are at hand.
If a man feels that his place is not there, he should leave as many of his friends.
Only by following one of these two courses can one be true to the ideals which should guide him in the present national crisis.
The rule which should guide us at all times, but more especially now, is to be prepared for the need to duty your duty to do, and to the beat of your ability.—Ohio State Lantern.
SMILING-ONE OF OUR ALLIES
Ever notice how hard it is not to return a real, genuine smile with a smile? Nothing is more contagious than smiling. It increases in geometrical progression. "When you smile, others smile, and soon there are miles and miles of smiles."
SMILING—ONE OF OUR ALLIES
The world needs "less of sighing and more of smiling," as Arthur Chapman characterizes the West in his poem, "Out where the West Becomes Music; Out where the West Becomes music; but in the race of good cheer however, smiles out-distance both.
These are critical times, but that doesn't mean a censorship has been placed on smiling. Making life more pleasant is different from frivolity. A smiling man at work is usually putting his whole heart and soul into the work and that is the way the natior should be now.
"A smile," Southey says, "is like sunshine opening, through a shower, in the vernal skies." When the world has been dark and cloud for days, it looks like a beach. Sunshine, of smiles and good cheer that break through the clouds. The United States has a big job ahead, but sullenness, gloom, frowns and silence surrounds her.
Let's work with a smile.—Daily Missourian.
Many students graduate from K. S. A. C. without ever really becoming acquainted with their Alma Mater. Many students, before and after graduation, are asked simple questions about their college which they cannot answer. This does not mean that all your college students become acquainted with your college does not mean that you are to become personally acquainted with every prof on the hill, and all his instructors and assistants. It does mean, however, that after attending one school for four years, you should be able to name the different divisions and departments of the college, the head of each, and have a general knowledge of each department. You should at least know the name of each building, what departments are located in each, and know where to locate the college museum and flour mill.

Many students never think of going to any of the buildings except those in which they have classes, and even then they confine themselves pretty largely to their class rooms. To become acquainted with people one must get out and mix. So it is acquired with your alma matter so that you will be in a position to give information regarding it, and be able to advertise and boost your school.—K. S. A. C., Collegian.
