The Daily Kansan aims to picture us as undergraduate life of our university, further than merely printing the news we have written; we hold vuryer holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be willing to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

"The great high-road to human wel-
fness is the road that we have
steadfast woll-doing." — Samuel Smiles.
THE FLAG
For several months the flag has been floating over Fraser Hall. At first it seemed unusual; we were only used to seeing it there at commencement and enrollment times. But now we have become so accustomed to seeing Old Glory frayed and worn thin with whipping in Mount Oread winds, that when we reach the crest of the hill, if it is not there, we miss it and feel that something is gone. It has become very near and dear to us in these days of unrest.
Two baseball games and a track meet are now placed beside Missouri's basketball and football victories over Kansas this year. Anyway, you enjoyed seeing Mister Simpson fly.
IN THE SPRING!
We have arrived at the "home stretch!"
It is the last of the race that counts.
We all know that this is our last chance to make up back work, and finish up those papers that have been dragging all semester.
But maybe we'll all be happy about it anyway.
But never had the Kaw so much appeal, and never did the movies advertise such wonders as at this crucial period. With the coming of the leaves and Douglas Fairbanks lessons must suffer.
One student will plan his work and let pleasure break in occasionally; another student will plan his pleasure and let study break in occasionally.
The student who likes Latin will stay away from the movies to study, the student who likes to see the movies will stay away from his Latin.
One student will make Phi Beta Kappa and will be happy; another will be happy and will not make Phi Beta Kappa.
Both of them will probably live to a moderate old age and die in moderate circumstances.
Funny old world, isn't it?
'Specially in the spring!
Will the women who were awarded athletic letters last Saturday allow their male escorts to wear them? Only fair, it seems, considering how liberal the gentlemen are with their "K's."
FOR ABLE OFFICERS
Student organizations of all kinds should use more than ordinary care in electing the officers who will conduct the organization's affairs during the summer and the coming year. With University affairs as disorganized as they are at present, the selection of officers is a matter of extreme seriousness for any organization.
No fraternity or other group knows how many of their members will
return to the University next fall. None knows how able it will be to meet financial or other responsibilities which it may have incurred. Unless the officers chosen to administer business affairs during so critical a period are trustworthy and capable, the organization is liable to find itself in serious difficulties.
Every club, society, or fraternity needs to consider the seriousness of the situation from this point of view, and every person chosen to a position of responsibility should feel that he must prove himself worthy of a double trust.
So they got you for the Company M fund and for the Red Cross did they? Well, don't worry. The Fund for the Extinction of Dandelions on the campus will be launched tomorrow.
THOSE STOLEN BOOKS
He was the typical example of the average student. During the long weeks of the early part of the semester he had allowed his studies to slide, and then, two weeks before quizzes, he suddenly discovered that he had an immense amount of work to do. An important term paper was on schedule to be at the instructor's desk in the morning.
The student hurried to the library. On the way, he framed in his mind's eye a plan by which he could do the required reading and still finish his paper in time. It would require that he stay up half the night; but remembering that it had been his negligence that caused the present trouble, he was willing to sacrifice sleep.
Breathlessly, he searched the card catalogue for the number of the reference book he wanted. He found it, and passed it over the desk to a librarian.
Minutes passed. The librarian returned. "I can't find the book on the shelves," she said.
Then came a search through the card index of the department library. The number was again found. But the book was missing.
"Look around on the tables," suggested the librarian. The search was made. But it was in vain.
Then a second student interrupted.
"That book on the short ballot?" he asked.
"Why. I've been hunting it all afternoon. Somebody told me it'd been missing for three weeks. Probably it's been stolen."
This is an everyday story. That University students will stoop to such low practices as the stealing of books from a state library seems unbelievable. But in the time of stress before the oncoming examinations it becomes lamentably apparent.
It's a problem with a strictly personal solution.
Will you do your share toward solving it?"
Some of the boys who failed to get approved for Fort Riley, but who got in on several farewell dinners, are very busy just now scaring up alibis.
OTHER OPINIONS
There is an evident fear among business men that the impulse to economy may suddenly contract the volume of business to such an extent as to disorganize industry, throw wage earners into idleness, and create a general state of alarm and confusion which would seriously impair the ability of the country to deal with the great emergency which confronts it. They urge that it is better for each person to go ahead in his accustomed way and with his usual expenditures than to run the risk of disturbing the orderly movement of trade by encouraging a general change of pace.
WAR-TIME ECONOMY
It should be understood that what is wanted in the way of economy is not hoarding, which would bring about a cessation of industry, but an intelligent adaptation of private policies to the public needs. There is not going to be less work to be done in this country. There is more work than ever in sight to be done. Indiv-
individuals must turn a large part of their incomes over to the government, not for hoarding, but for it to expend among the industries. The expenditures will merely be shifted to new channels. This is the main fact to be kept in mind.
We do not think the pressure of high prices and high taxation should be the only influences to deter an individual from unnecessary expenditures. One of the most difficult tasks they have had in England has been that of convincing people that because they could afford to buy something was no justification for buying it, especially in war time. If the expenditure is unnecessary and the article or service requires labor which is needed elsewhere, the expenditure ought not to be made. It is obviously out of place to keep men tending flower gardens while grain fields go untilled, and to have textile mills running on more style changes when the labor supply is insufficient to make cloth for the army.
The rule that one should buy only what he needs must of course be applied with common sense, and along with it should go an organized effort to utilize whatever labor is thereby released in industries where it is needed. Our problem is so to organize our forces that not only will there be no unemployment but that every worker will be employed in the manner most serviceable to the country.—From a bulletin on "Economic Conditions" issued by the National City Bank of New York.
WHEN SENIORS WERE SOPHS
May Fete is a big success. J. B. McNaught, Helen Toppin, Helen Clark, and Gladys Harries are discovered to be "interpretative dancers of real skill." Members of Beta Theta II present Pyrro Pryro, who climax to the day's entertainment. Ames Rogers is the star performer.
Proceeds of the May Fete are pledged to the Women's Dormitory Fund, making a total of $4,000 toward the building

YOU know these are unusual times; wool is hard to get, so in many cases cotton is substituted in clothes.
All-wool style value 3 reasons for coming here
You have to be careful or you'll get cotton mixed goods—you don't want them.
The way to be sure of all-wool is to come to this store; you'll get Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes. These makers use nothing but all-wool. Such clothes may cost a little more than the other kind,but they're worth many times more.
For smart style, good fit, big values, and elegance in detail, you can't equal Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes. We don't say that because we sell the clothes; on the contrary, we sell these clothes because we can say these things about them. And that's another good reason why you should come here.
