The Daily Kansan aims to pick up the stories of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news and share it with faculty verities hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be curious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to teach the students of the University.

"Tin not what man does which ex-
plicitly but what man would do!"
Browning
BEGIN YOUR SPRING DRIVE!
Only two more weeks of classroom and laboratory work and then-quizzes!
Notebooks will be called in, term themes, reports, and themes will be due, and the Gentleman Behind the Desk will begin to make suggestive remarks as to the awful things he intends to spring during that week of exams.
Meanwhile, the days and the nights are cool; the chairs in the library are no harder than they ever were; and your work calls.
Are you going to do it now, or wait 'till the last few days before the term closes, and then rush it through in an agony of haste?
Begin your spring drive!
SOMEBODY BLUNDERED
Maybe Mr. Foster would get more results in his anti-graft campaign if he offered a prize of $100 to the student manager or committee chairman who could prove that he had coped the most grapes during the school year.
"Harmony" is the keynote of Utopians. That's all right; it's a good one. But how that harmony can best be produced raises a very difficult question. The try-outs of the plans of Plato, Sir Thomas More, Saint Simon, and others, as well as the different attempts at the founding of socialistic colonies, have so far failed to attain this ideal. But the thing that loops up as the most determining factor in these failures is the fallacious idea that variation is incompatible with harmony. Human experience has practically proven that our paramount duty is not to make our sentiments and feelings identical, but rather to learn how to get along with each other regardless of our likes and dislikes.
The Utopians would sing in unison; they would paint in but one shade or color. They have but followed the path of the majority and taken one of the extremes—not that of tedious complexity, but rather that of monotonous simplicity.
Hence, is the Utopia after all the ideal state of society? Or have the philosophers given us the wrong definition of an Utopia?
Skin Greaver disagrees with the Kansan in that University men are preferred for the training camp at Fort Riley. "They took my little brother," amends Skin, "and turned me down. And my kid brother only has a high school education."
OUT OF THIS WAR
"The United States of America has championed the ideas of universal peace in order to be able to devote
our industrial attention to money-making and the enjoyment of wealth, and to save the three hundred million dollars which they spend on their army and navy; they thus incur a great danger, not so much from the possibility of a war with England or Japan, but precisely because they try to exclude all chance of contest with opponents of their own strength, and thus avoid the stress of great political emotions, with out which the moral development of the national character is impossible. If they advance farther on this road, they will one day pay dearly for such a policy."—From Bernhardi's "Germany and the Next War."
This extract shows the old fallacy still held by not only Bernhardi, but also Nietzsche, Treitschke, and other German statesmen—that war is essential for moral development.
One of the greatest blessings that will come out of the present war will be a revolution in the philosophical principles in Germany, such as there was in the religious principles there in Luther's time. Their ideals are so repugnant to the moral sense of the rest of the world that such German philosophers as these cannot even look their fellow patriot, Machiavelli, in the face without blushing. Even Bismarck was too shrewd to accept the philosophy in toto.
The above quotation from Bern-hardi is so deceptive and fallacious on its face that it is really pathetic.
War will promote national moral development? Yes, it will—for Germany at least,—insofar as it will wipe out the abnormale idea.
"Closer relationship between faculty and students." The K. U. man at Fort Riley who announces in one breath that "Pluky Friend, W. W Davis and Art Nigg" are in the training camp certainly must have been a supporter of the Havekort ticket.
ONLY A WORM
The time for the elm tree worm has arrived the skinny, slimy, nervy, stretchy, dangly elm tree worm. In lovely festoons from the trees they are beginning to hang wrigly, squirmy and multitudinous. They love to nestle in the wavelike tresses of fair college maidens and slip down the inside of the snowy collar of the gallant college youth. They are touching creatures, with soft and clinging tenderness. So fond are they of the human species that they swing daintily from their silken trapezes until someone comes along and affords them a landing place.
Feel a squirring down your neck?
Never mind, it's only a worm.
BEWARE THE "WAR BLUES"!
All of America's future hopes rest on the one word "production."
We can produce the greatest only by setting in action all available sources of energy. This cannot be done by idleness. Neither can it be accomplished by withholding money from circulation, for money is the equivalent of labor. The man of today who remains idle or hoards his money is on a par with the man who blows up munitions plants.
If you don't want to invest your money in real estate, buy an automobile; if you can't command a regiment, then hee corn.
At least, the dog that got up on the stage and yawned during the symphony concert was frank in expressing his opinion.
A very learned professor of the University of Chicago has recently stated that to be in love is to be insane. Is K. U. a University or an asylum?
"Fifty-seven more are called to Fort Riley"—Kansas headline. Are they Mr. Heinz's famous varieties?
Of course you're going to wear a tag in order that Company M will have a sufficient number of blankets and adequate medical aid.
Daily Kansan Files of Two Years Ago
WHEN SENIORS WERE
SORUS.
Kansas defeats Missouri in base ball, 6 to 5. With the score tied in the ninth inning, one man on base and one out, George Harrell, pinch hitter, drove the pill to the sheds for three bases. Walter Wood strained a muscle in making a peg. Craig pitched the game.
SOPHS
"Sour Owl" appears in the yellowish and smuttiest number of its existence. Kanas editorial criticizes it as "peddling dirty stuff around under the guse of cleverness. It such gossip is to be told, do it out behind her. Incidentally, the faculty ought to protect the women who are allowed to school under it instead of allowing their reputations to be slushed by a piece of peanut journalism."
Con Hoffman, secretary of the University V. M. C. A. is chosen by John R. Mott to be one of a flying squadron of six student leaders who will work among the soldiers of the European battlefields during the summer.
Architectural engineers assert that the view from the heights of Mount Oresay or the finest cliff in the world, the best way to observe it is from the third floor of Marvin Hall.
Following men are initiated into the Owl Society: A. Lindsay, M. Stockton, J. H. Herriot, O. H. Dittmer, Rex Miller, H. G. Appel, A. W. Brennan, David Frost, Brookes, Fred McEwen, J. V. Challis, Fred Rodkey, J. E. Wolf, P. H. Friend, J. L. Bond,
Registrar George O. Foster delivers a commencement address at Garrison high school.
Dorothy Miller, who watches with interest when Ad Lindsley is presented with a silver trophy cup because of his kicking ability, asks if he received it because he was the one to kick hard against the faculty.
White Crows announce that the five most popular men in the senior class are: Ralph D. Sproull, Cale W. Carson, Edward Blair Hackney, Hal De Longy, and Ross C. Keeling.
Dix Teachener and Verne Newton leave for Lincoln to take part in the Missouri Valley Tennis Tournament.

We sincerely regret that our embryonic geologists have discovered that mud is a rock. Future politicians may take an unfair advantage.
Anyway, the war has proved a blessing in one respect. The annual spring horse of book-agents and its usual appearance was not appeared in its usual strength.
Will some futurist artist now kindly come forward and paint the picture of a man trying to take care of himself by giving him upon this matter of enlistment?
Now that there is some motive other than a purely altruistic one for the existence of the Anti-Cigarette League, we hear nothing of its propaganda. Why not reorganize with economy for a motif?
