The Daily Kansan aims to picture students of the University of Kansas, to go further than merely print the news on paper; to display the University holds; to play no role in be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

"I judge people by what they might be—not are, nor will be." - Browning.
MUST MEASURE SENIORS
Now that you Seniors voted to wear caps and gowns during Commencement Week at a recent meeting why don't you take two minutes and be measured for said garments. All orders must be in by Wednesday and to date only eighteen women and three men have placed orders. The vote was, "all seniors must," accent on the must, wear caps and gowns—now that means that you MUST, another accent on the must, give your order and be measured. Give that man at the table in Fraser Hall something to do.
WINNER AND LOSER
"This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance"—but as university students are we doing our share?
The defeat of Jap Glasco for president of the Men's Student Council should not be construed as a handicap in the campaign which Glasco is to make in the capacity of alumni representative for the University in the interests of the Permanent Income resolution.
The qualities of persistence and aggressiveness which cost Glaseo votes in a contest for student office, are the qualities that make a successful campaigner.
Willard Glasco is not easily discouraged. He has the best interests of the University at heart. He has the ability to smile after defeat. And in the next year he will be found fighting as before for the Permanent Income Bill and other University interests.
As to Walter Hawelorst, the successful candidate for president of the Men's Student Council, the vote shows the esteem and confidence felt for him. In the student activities, with which he has been connected he has shown that he is a capable man for the office to which he has been elected.
University students realize now, more than ever that the office of president of the Council is a very important and responsible one. The Kansan wishes success to the new Council. May they be able to prevent graft and unfair play in all student activities and may it not be possible next year for "out siders" to make charges of crooked deals in University student enterprises.
Humanity need air and light even more than do plants and flowers said Sir William Lever. Judging from the amount of fresh air that some of the professors have in their class rooms they evidently are not aware of the needs of humanity.
MORE ASSIGNMENTS
Now that the end of the semester is near, reports of various kinds, assigned weeks ago, are becoming due. In addition to these reports, many professors have assigned regular class work requiring two hours a day for preparation. A few quizzes have been mixed in for variety.
The student in the midst of his daily work sighs and wonders how he will do the extra. And it will end as it has always ended,—in the burning of midnight juice, and the drinking of strong things to keep awake, and the taxing to the limit of reserve strength, in order that the papers may be in on time.
And still, the professor assigns them, but assigns no time to do them, and thinks the students are not treating him fairly when they turn in papers late which have been assigned far ahead. And thinking thus, he marks a grade, but it is not a "one"
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
There is nothing more exciting than to try to guess at the charming individuality behind the sole of a number eleven shoe that stares at an opening in the space between the lace curtains of any pari window on Sunday.
The man who can lose his temper over a game of checkers will never pay the grocery bill without a murmur.
The girl who refuses to speak to a little white dog with a friendly red tongue, simply because he is in the company of a strange man, has no more fine feeling than the person who drowns kittens.
Green caps are the latest, but the youth who wears blue socks with white polka dots to match the border of their shirt is setting a pace for Dame Fashion.
The unwise virgin babbles blizzably about her former engagements; the wise girl says she plaintiffly, the wiser girl says and this within earshot of the victim.
Complete absorption is pictured in the man who holds his cup of coffee at a dangerous angle, forgets he has it, and lets it splash noiselessly on the while he gazes in admiration at the pretty girl across the table.
The husband who, after fifty years of silence, suddenly tells his wife that she talks too much, just misses being a hero by a few years.
“Getting the most out of life” can best be demonstrated at this season of the year by the student who at times as if they were strawberries.
The woman who can calmly look at the gray hairs in a comb and remark cheerfully "They are coming out," she screws her face to take a minimum of troubles in life.
Trouble never brews without someone to stir the ingredients.
The secret of the Sphinx is nothing more or less than a concrete expression of the ancients' admiration of the woman who can hold her tongue.

EFFICIENCY
AN ADVANTAGE
"Sure! You have to it to get in a university club." — Cornell Wheatfield
"Do you think that a college edu-
care affords an important adva-
tage训."
Let us have grit for the worst to come.
Love the peace sun's rise, I dare.
Let us have links which as brothers bind
Let us have chance in each loyal soul. Let us have chance for freedom's good. Let us have chance for freedom's good.
Let us have faith in our leaders' aim,
and our warriors' skill.
Men of all races in act and mind,
and the will of nations to defend behind,
and devotion prize.
POET'S CORNER
Let us have vigor to play the game
And our duty fill.
Let us make ready to do our share—
And our fate is what we have.
PETITION
Your service may differ in kind rom that of the less favored man, but it will be in your own best interest.
Today, or perhaps tomorrow—whenever Congress acts in the German situation—will go down in history as a dramatic turning point in American affairs. In this crisis, if it is important that the college men of Germany serve the college men that have been spoken regarding their duty to guide national thought.
But while he has been educated for leadership, the college man has not been educated for a position of privilege. He, like every other man, can expect from his country only what is just recognition for the service he is willing to render. And service is measured with reference to the qualifications which the individual in question has been helped to attain.
Let us suit action to word—Prepare!
(Nor with voice and pen.)
"Wait until you are called for," is the advice of Major General Leonard Wood to all college students who are required to make the matter of enlistment at once.

Let me look at the word again. It's a bit weird.
It looks like "with wine and pet."
-Chicago Herald.
THE SITUATION AT MINNESOTA
Minnesota's fraternities are feeling the effects of the war. Nearly all of them have at least a few men enlisted in some service, and while a number of the houses are seriously thinking of closing, many have already joined the armed forces. They've been hit the hardest to date are Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi. The Phi Delts have five men in the Marine Corps and nine in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The house has suspended regular weekly meetings in the regular week from now on. There are a few men left who still room at the house.
The Sigma Chi fraternity has only ten out of thirty men left. Seven have left to serve in the Marine Corps; one has enlisted in the navy, six have gone on farms, and one is a member of the Officers' Reserve Corps. The fellows who are left are trying to get some of the alumni to come and stay at the house so that it will not have any trouble finding the number of alumni cannot be obtained no meals will be served in the house, but those who remain will room there.
Many other chapters, both at Minnesota and elsewhere, are in the same print edition.
The Betas have seven men left from a chapter of thirty. Eight are in the Marine Corps, two have left for France, four are in the regular army, one is in the aviation school, and the rest are to go on farms.
OUR CONTRIBUTION
WAIT FOR ARMY ORDERS
"Our Allies are furnishing the men who sacrifice their lives in the conflict. They are the ones who are called upon to undergo the most terrible hardships. They pay the price with their life blood. It is our duty to raise crops and make munitions of war to supply them. It is the least sacrifice that could be asked—Daily Missouri."
“If the United States will furnish us locomotives, cars and munitions we have the men to do the fighting.” So said a Russian official.
"We need food most of all—we are not so much concerned with the sending of United States troops to Iraq, nor with J. Balfour Monday in Washington.
The advice is the logical result of modern methods of fighting. A war at present is largely a contest of two armies of scientists opposing each other. In the long run, brains rather than any other factor decides victory.
College students as a rule are credited with having better developed brains at their age than any other class of people. They have gained such mastery over their brains that they learn more quickly, and have the capability of reasoning out any problem whatever.
Major Wood's advice is a recognition of this ability. In a world war men of this caliber are at a premium. The warring nations have found too late the necessity for trained men of this kind. The war department of the Army is emulating by their experience and is attempting to place them in positions which they are fitted to fill.—Oklahoma Daily News.

It is almost bromide to point out that war is the combined activities of many specialists. Some phases of it produce glory; some give only the consciousness of service well done. But all are necessary.
