The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of its students, further than merely printing the news for them; it also values the university holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

FOR THE RED CROSS
Judging is balancing an account
on which the odd
lie — Locke.
University students will be present in large numbers at the dancing recital in the Bowersock Theater next Tuesday night for the benefit of the Red Cross. The use to which the proceeds of the entertainment are to be put is sufficient to warrant that.
But there is another reason why we will attend. Miss Helen Topping, director of the performance and one of the soloists, is a former, K. U. student; and her ability as a dancer is well known to every upperclassman on Mount Oaken. From what we know of her past achievements, we are quite sure next Tuesday's performance will be an artistic delight.
THE SOUR OWL
You're going, aren't you?
"War Funds Mount to $300"—Kansan Headline. It must belong to the cavalry.
Members of the old Owl Society took a long step toward insuring the permanence of the Sour Owl in its present form when they decided Wednesday to devote the profits from the publication of the magazine during the past year to financing the magazine next fall, when it is issued by the Owls who have just been initiated.
The Sour Owl long has been the black sheep in the journalism family at K. U., and the Kansan hopes that its reform is to be permanent. With the money made by the publication this year as a basis upon which to build, the newly elected Owls should be able to continue the magazine in its present elaborate form. According to the wishes of this year's board, this money is to be returned to a trust fund kept by Registrar Foster, and used annually to promote the publication of the Sour Owl.
The members of the new board are well fitted to continue the publication. Eugene Dyer and Lawson May have won their journalistic spurs on the Kansas; and Willard Hilton, Ebben Mitchell, and Ewart Plank were identified with publication work in their high school days. Mitchell has had some experience on the Harvard Lampoon.
Go to it, you new Owls! The Kan
san wishes you success.
Poets who write free verse take advantage of the fact that this is a free country; but so do the people who do not read it.
THE Y. M. C. A.
Members and supporters of the University Y M. C. A. have a right to be proud of the annual report of the organization, which has just been issued for this year by Hugo Wedell, the secretary. The report shows the association to be in a better condition at this time than in any previous year.
The organization can well be proud that it has 1,000 members among the men of the University. It should look with extreme gratification on its work of securing jobs for 600 students, and thus helping them to earn their way through school. It has a right to get puffed up over the fact that 200 men did active work in the organization during the past nine months, and that attendance at the religious meetings for the year was more than 3,000. And the Handbooks, the representation at Estes Park, and the work of the rooming house inspectors only calls for more praise.
Many of us fail to realize what a big part the Y. M. plays in University affairs. Engrossed in our own particular phase of student activities—athletics, journalism, dramas, politics, we find our religious tendencies taken care of by the down town churches, and overlook the part the Y. M. plays in practicing Christianity on the campus. That is why, when a report such as Mr. Wedell's is brought before us, we admire it so heartily.
Good work Dutch!
Considering the time spent in having their pictures taken, it's no wonder the armies in Europe have to have so many aviators.
FOR TWO WEEKS
The "Soldiers of the Soil" and the candidates for the Officers' Reserve training corps who have been accepted have left. The long line of students waiting to withdraw, which was a daily sight during the earlier weeks of the war, has disappeared from the hallway near the dean's office. The University is probably reduced in numbers to the point where it will remain for the rest of the year.
Things aren't the same around the campus. They can't be—there are too many missing faces. But we are no longer confused by the continual leaving of students and instructors, and the University can at least assume the normal.
---
Two weeks of the school year are left—one of classroom work, one of quizzes. Let's calm down now, get back into the harness, and prepare to bust those quizzes between the eyes! Let's try to do it with a minimum of excitement.
There's no getting away from it—That phrase "admitted to the bar" will have its pleasant connotation!
You can't move one step ahead if you use one foot continually kicking.
OTHER OPINIONS
AND WHY DO YOU WORRY?
So many of us spend a notable amount of time going about telling folks what we have to worry about. The following excerpt from the philosophy of a French soldier is not such bad philosophy for any of us, for that matter. According to the Independent, this is the way he puts it:
If you are mobilized there is no need to worry. If you are mobilized, one of two things is certain: either you are behind the lines or you are in front.
Of two things one is certain: Either you are mobilized, or you are not mobilized.
If you are behind the lines there is no need to worry. If you are on the front, one of two things is certain: either you are resting in a safe place or you are exposed to danger.
If you are resting in a safe place, there is no need to worry. If you are exposed to danger, one of two things is certain: either you will be wounded or you will not be wounded.
If you are wounded, one of two things is certain; either you are seriously wounded or you are slightly wounded.
If you are slightly wounded there is no need to worry. If you are seriously wounded, one of two things is certain: either you will recover or
If you recover, there is no need to worry; if you die, you can't worry.— Hillsdale Collegian.

WHEN SENIORS WERE
SORHS
fractuary disciplinary committee, composed of Professors Carl Becker, George Putnam, and J. N. Van der Vries, look into the "Sour Owl" following complains made by members of the faculty, students, the Y, W. C. A., and mothers, who were present at the time the "Owl" was issued. Two women whose names were used in the paper withdrew from school.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed on evidence of good faith his names will not be published without the writer's consent.
If our ex-president T. R. seems to think he has some power and wants to take a regiment to France, why then give him a fair chance. What's the use to fool around; why pound the table and stamp the ground, then take a week for hot debate, and ask him not get action and respond by letting Ted go 'cross the pond?' Furnish him with ammunition and gun; say "go to it teddy"; hop to 'em when you're ready, and smite them every one. Tell your men to blow their flutes and help Sam settle the discussion line; chase the rascals 'cross the Rhine. Go ahead Teddy, as you did up San Juan Hill. We're going to turn you loose on Kaiser Bill."

UNDER THE SKIN OF MEN
Did you ever fall down and talk with them?
The chink of the yellow gold; That not in the worldly things they've
They'll tell you then that their aim is not.
In a serious sort of way.
On their views of life and powder then
they would go on.
POET'S CORNER
It's a glorious thing to 60;
For putting that back of the pump and power
Most men have a goal in view.
On all that they have to stay
if not, you should in some quiet hour:
or at night.
Would they have their stories told?
They'll say the joy that they treasure
Are their good friends, tried and true,
And an honest name for their own to
be.
I've talked with men and I think
And peace when the day is through.
I've talked with men and I think know
What's under the toughened skin. I've seen their eyes grow bright and more.
With the fire that burns within
and of the gold and back of the
fame.
Of the nobler things of life.
—Edgar Guest,
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
The average library is an institution that is about one-fifth read.
The girl who has the opportunity to stand in a public place and stroke a man's coat sleeve 'cool' in make and shade-'is' taking a mild advantage. The girl stands on the curb in mute adoration and watch the khaki clad pass by.
The man who will cling to a "stubb" from the house to the tennis courts; thence to Brick's, and later to the library—where he deposits it in the basement to resume it later—will surely cherish a wife all the days of his life.
A small duck struggling to occupy a whole pond isn't half as much in the way as the man who tries to occupy a whole street car. M. L.
Beauty hard pressed, seems never at a loss. The steel plate on a typewriter, the circular nickel of a telephone, as well as the reflection in a shop window, the sheen of a pool and the shadows cast by a tell-tale sun, are exactly where to place a hairpin and sprinkle an ounce of powder.
Old maids can get along without husbands, but they cannot outlive the temptation to tell why they didn't take them.
When hiking, graciously give way to the ladies, in case of a rail fence.
The happy South Sea islander is to be envied. He can eat his breakfast without having to read the war news first.
If a man has a pull that keeps him out of jail, it will require a mighty strong push to get him through the pearly gates.
There are several ways of courting a woman, but the best way is to keep still and let her have her own way in the matter.
The surface of the earth will in a few years be regarded as a place merely for the old fashioned style of fighting.
