The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely print the news by allowing them to bodes; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be to care for; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University, to educate the students of the University.
THE COMMON DRINKING CUP
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1917.
Kansas has a law on her statute books against it. Railroad companies will not tolerate it in their stations. Mercantile houses employing large numbers of people do not permit its presence. Factories insist that their workmen shall not be permitted to use it. And yet, here at the University of Kansas—with all its culture and all its refinement—we have it with us—
The common drinking cup!
And then they say we aren't democratic up here!
The obvious thing is that those cups placed beneath the distilled water containers were not originally intended to be "common" cups. Some professor, perhaps—absent-minded as usual—brought it there for his own convenience, and left it. A janitor came along and saw it. He was thirsty. So he took a drink. Perhaps somebody going by wondered where that dirty old colored fellow got of啊 such a nice looking cup. Then came the co-ed—you know,—one of those sweet, innocent, butterfly-like things. And her dainty lips touched the cup. And so on, and so on—until the cup had been used by perhaps a tenth of the people in the University.
Seriously, the common drinking cup is a menace. It must not be tolerated on the campus. The wise student who sees one will avoid its use. The proper University authorities, if they are alive to the situation, will see that those cups now doing duty are taken away.
We can't help but envy those military fellows over by the Gym who stand up and shout "To Arms!" as the pretty co-eds flutter by.
GET BUSY!
The first week of school is over, and things have now settled down to their normal routine. Classroom work has begun in earnest, and hereafter the biggest thing on the University calendar will be the steady pull of scholastic work. Now is the time for the student to awake to the things that lie ahead of him.
If you are an old student, stop and think a moment. Have the years that have just passed been the kind that you are satisfied with? Have you taken advantage of the opportunities that have been knocking at your door? Or have you put off the big things until tomorrow-thinking that you would have ambition to do something worth while then? Have you meant something to the University, to those who are making it possible for you to be here, to yourself?
And you, students who are here for the first time! There is a great deal more in store for you here than the gala affairs that cartoonists portray. Are you coming for the nine months of work that brings its reward, or are you going to spend that time fiddling away at this and that, and never doing anything worth while? Are you going to make yourself a force in University life?
Whether you are an upperclassman or a freshman, wake up! See the duty that is yours and try your best to do it. Have a mental housecleaning today, and don't let the dust accumulate for the rest of the college year.

JES' PUTTERIN' AROUND
"Too many students go to the library merely to putter around," says one professor of his classes. "Students go over there, spend twenty minutes glancing through four or five magazines, read a serious book for perhaps half an hour, and then spend from ten minutes to an hour puttering around with a humorous magazine or something of a similar nature."
There can be no doubt but that the professor's criticism is well founded. It's so easy to wander into Spooner, stop at the magazine racks on the way to the desk, and then become mildly interested in the ephemeral literature there instead of the solid reading stored away for us between the covers of the books on the shelves.
Understand, however, that this is not a criticism of the library management for permitting the lighter magazines to occupy a place on the shelves. That the better grade of popular magazines is found in Spooner is only an evidence of the broad mindedness of those in charge there. The trouble is with the student who hasn't sufficient control of his will to pass up the magazines, no matter how tempting they may look, when he should be reading more solid material.
"Yes, for heaven's sake read the humorous magazines," says the professor who makes the criticisms. "They'll sweeten your disposition and make your work easier by giving it variety. But when you go to the library to read a humorous magazine, sit down and read it. Don't putter around from this thing to that, and waste from half an hour to an hour just doing nothing."
All of which might be summed up by saying: "When you work, don't play—and when you play, don't work!"
Judging from the tinkling sounds arising nightly in the vicinity of some rooming houses, the ukelele wasn't one of the war-time luxuries to be suppressed. Do your duty, Mr. Suppressor!
a witticism is the thing you were just about to say yourself.
COLLEGE ACTIVITIES AND THE WAD
Athletes at first glance seemed to be the easiest spared of college activities. A few universities, in the first rush of the sacrificial impulse, voted to suspend them during the war. The fate of athletics was uncertain for weeks in other institutions, among them Indiana, but reaction to basic common sense was inevitable.
Events in relation to American war have followed a logical course.
When the United States was hurled last April into the world war, sacrifice to country was the great impulse of all good Americans.
The young man who keeps his body fit and hard for his country's service is of as much value as he serves in the army, or serve her after the war. Athletics should be among the very last things to be given up. Any sacrifice of them before the direct need of the sport is a useless and lamentable one.
Picking the winner of the Big Ten football scramble this fall, for instance will be matched just like lucifers into a barrel of gasoline — Indiana Student.
Institutions that kept their heads retained athletics, and those who dropped them have in many cases quietly revoked their hasty action.
quette revoked their hasty actions. So colleague athletics, battered by the war but still in the ring, we have yet with us. Interest in them will be lessened to some extent by war, but our own struggles by the war's unsettling of "done."

WHAT HE THINKS OF COLLEGE MEN
"The reason so many college boys fail is that they are full of theories; they think they know it all. A college course is a good thing, an excelled course. It is the right kind of youth. Quite a number of the highest positions are filled by men who went through college, but who had no false notions as to what was required of them when they entered business. No man is worth entering business without the heat of the battle and had his theories subordinated to practice.

"The son of rich parents is handicapped in his youth. He gets no experience out of doing things and no opportunity to benefit from hard knocks such as come the other fellow's way.
“When a boy comes to ask me to put him through college I tell him it would be the worst thing that could happen to him. I say: ‘You would not only have a burden of debt on your shoulders when you finished college, but you would have the additional burden of getting experience—and it is pretty hard to get experience.’ You can earn money only after you have had experience’”—Theodore Vail.

A MATTER OF NOMENCLATURE
A negro was recently brought into police custody in Georgia, charged with assault and battery. The negro, who was well known to the judge, was charged with having struck another "unauthorized" woman with a brick. After the usual preliminaries the judge inquired:
"Well, you are one, aren't you?" "Yessah, I is one. But, Jedge, s'pose somebody'd call you a black rascal, wouldn't you hit 'em?"
"Naw, sah, naw, sah, you ain't one; but s'pose somebody'd call you de kind o' rascal you is, what'd you lo?"—Everybody's Magazine.
