The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students than merely printing the news by standing up and showing it. He plays no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

"No man can produce great things
with himself." — Loweil
with himself." — Loweil
K. U. is proud that such a man as Arthur Nevin is a member of her faculty. She was proud last year when the announcement was made that he was to come to Mount Oread. She was proud after his arrival, as she watched with interest his work with choruses at the University and over the state. The incidental music he composed last year for "The Stuff of Laughter" added to his fame. And now comes the announcement that the Chicago Grand Opera will present two of his operas next season. His "Poia" and "The Daughter of the Forest" are to be given in Chicago and New York. We are glad—and proud!
THE GRAFT QUESTION
Seniors may not admire the young man in the Registrar's office who collects their diploma fee, but they have to hand it to him.
The graft question is receiving considerable attention at the University just at present; and a powerful antigraft sentiment seems to be sweeping over the student body. The Kansan is glad to see it.
The time has come when student managers of student activities should be placed on some other basis than one which allows them to fool the public in any manner they choose and and pocket the proceeds. The "cheap" parties at "top notch" prices which have been given during the last two years testify as to that. The student public is beginning to rebel. It does not want more elaborate parties. It wants more careful management, a saner system of payment for the promoters than that of "grapes," and a lower admission price.
Happily, the newly elected president of the student council is taking prompt action in regard to the solution of the graft problem. Together with Registrar Foster, whose attempts to get statements from the student managers have failed miserably, he is working on a plan which, when put into operation next year, promises to do a great deal toward cleaner methods of management in student activities.
"It can't be done," says the old time politician. "There's always gotta be some graft, and you can't get rid of it."
The newer policy is to *try.* "And we'll succeed," say the champions of the better method.
Most anybody ought to be able to borrow enough books to fill a five foot shelf.
A CALL TO ARMS
To fill the student ranks which will be butchered unmercifully by conscription lists and enlistments, an immediate and forceful attack must be
made upon the Kansas 1917 High School graduate. There is no time to be wasted; the summer drive must begin now. This is the call to arms.
The brunt of the fight—the burden of filling ranks riddled by patriotism—falls upon the Registrar and the University's publicity director. Both officials will gladly do—are gladly doing—their full share of the work. But they need the assistance of every loyal student now in the University.
Every one knows the meaning of the word "rush" as applied to a fraternity's process of getting new men. Members of the student body must employ a similar method and "rush" for K. U. during the coming summer. Begin now by interviewing the Registrar about your high school friends, and see that they are sent letters of introduction, a catalogue, and such other information about the University as you would have liked to have received during your senior year in high school. When you go back home this summer you will be the "follow-up" letter, and finally, the "wind-up" proposal. It's up to you to "clinch" the sale!
During vacation, when you find a University prospect, do not let him get away from you. Take him to a picture show, buy him a coke, take him to your room, show him your "Jayhawker," elaborate upon the beauties of Mount Oread, and—be sure you fulfill this last demand—bring him back to Lawrence with you next year.
Another bad thing about the "easy way" to get an officer's commission is that there isn't any such way.
"IF"
If students always studied faithfully there would be no need of fearing the finals, and hating the profs.
If students always said good morning, and smiled at their friends, they would feel better and would live longer, and make their friends feel better and prevent them from having many a grouch.
If students never felt stuck up, when they get a little praise for doing a common ordinary thing, they would give the world a better opinion of education.
If students would think before they met; if they would not get restless because their successes were slow in coming what a pleasant place this would be.
A good looking Red Cross nurse is more of an incentive to enlistment than an iron cross or a hero medal ever will be.
OTHER OPINIONS
"I have been endeavoring to form some sort of a notion of the world's supplies of food both this season and text," writes Sir George Paish, editor of the London Statist, "and have come to the conclusion that if the American people will continue to help the world to get through this time of great stress and strain by (1) growing as much food as possible and (2) themselves consuming no more than absolutely essential, the world will weather through, although the margin of safety will be very slender. Would it be possible for the ladies of America to start an economy campaign for the benefit of the women and children, not of Belgium only but practically of the entire world, for it is evident that many a poor family will not be able to buy food in the coming twelve or eighteen months in consequence of its dearness and scarcity unless those women who can afford to pay high prices voluntarily deny themselves and share the food which Providence provides with their poorer sisters? If they do this, then the heart of the world will beat with that mother-love which is all-powerful for good and which will prevent the recurrence of such a disaster as that now threatening the human race.
"DO NOT WASTE"
"The need of humanity is great. "The heart of America is also great."

The man getting his hair cut noticed that the barber's dog, which was lying on the floor beside the chair, his eyes fixed on his master at work.
CHEERING FORECAST
"Nice dog, that," said the customer. "He is, sir."
"It itin't that, sir," explained the barber. "You see, sometimes I make a mistake and snip a little bit off a customer's ear."
"He seems very fond of watching you cut hair?"
"How could they arrest him for denying him in the river?" demanded Brown.
"They tell me that Smith was arrested today because he had jumped on Jones."
