The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students of Kansai to go further than merely printing the news on paper and using a security hold; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser hens; in all, to serve to the best purpose; to teach the students of University.

Don't worry about what they or you say might be done; worry about what you know you can do for your own benefit, and habitually neglect.2. W. Howe.
THE SENIOR PLAY
Problems of the college world, and particularly of our college world, will be dealt with with unglued hands tomorrow night when "If I Were Dean" is presented by the seniors at the Bowersock Theater. The prof who holds classes over time, the students who start naughty rallies, the politician and the graffers—each will get his share of criticism.
Advance notices seem to indicate that the play is full of college spirit—just the sort of play, in fact, which will interest K. U. folks. Written by a student, acted by students under student management, it is primarily, a thing in which student interest should center.
That is why, when the curtain rises tomorrow night, a full house will greet the production.
Every student is helping Germany when he fails to use every ounce of energy in economizing food, money, and time.
WOMEN'S PAKI
Maude Radford Warren in the Saturday Evening Post has said "in war it ought to be counted a dishonor for women to wear new and unnecessary modes. For aside from the waste involved in too many clothes, cut in rapidly dying styles, it is wrong to use the hands of tailors, streamestresses and milliners for work in superfluous clothes when the government could use them in ways that will mean the saving of life as well as the economy of industry."
The women in some of the eastern universities have pledged themselves not to eat ice cream or wear silk hosiery until after the war is over. Everywhere women are conserving and saving in various ways. In what way are you, women of K. U., going to "do your bit"? It is a question each woman should decide for herself and then live up to her decision.
The ravages of war are already apparent. Class rooms are taking on a vacant look and so are the faces of the erstwhile bright students.
A POOR RULE
A professor assigned ever thousand pages of outside reading which was to be handed in in two weeks.
When the class of forty went to the library they found that only half of the books were there.
They asked where they were and the librarian told them that the professor had checked them out three months ago. They couldn't be called in because there was a rule that professors could keep books as long as they chose.
One professor had kept'a book for six years.
The professor thought it was queer that there were no other copies of the books in the library and gave each student a III because his work was incomplete.
"Stay at your books, acquaint yourself as best you can with those things which may be of value to you in serving the country, but don't enlist for service until the War Department announces its plan in detail and Congress acts."
In these times of war there has been much said about distribution of food. Seems as if food prices have already had a hand in regulating the distribution of food. At any rate, the boarding houses have been taking advantage of the war for some time.
This is the policy for the University man which the president of the University of Illinois gave to students of that university. He pointed out that the extra training one would receive by waiting will be of greater service to the government than by going into that work for which he isn't fitted.
"STAY AT YOUR BOOKS"
Well, you were wishing two weeks ago that it would get warm, weren't you?

THE NEWSPAPER AND COLLEGE MEN
After watching several scores of college men of almost every type known at Illinois "go through" metropolitan dales, we are convinced that the average college man does not really know what a line of actuat; a cursory~very cursory~glance at the front page headlines as the sheets are eagerly fingered in search of the sporting page; a rather critical reading of the news of the world of sport; followed by a few chuckles found on the page; much of it happens. This done, our average college mangives a second hasty glance to the screamer and the scare headlines on the front page, and, having satisfied himself that Ty Cobb is still playing baseball, that B. L. T. is still funny, and that the United States is not comfortable for him, shall serve aside for the day. The editorials do receive any attention. But, the paper has really ben read.
Our college man has gotten from his hasty glance at headlines, but a faint rumble of the international storm which threatens even our own land. And the first duty of a citizen is to protect us from the country and that which goes on about it. America we are no longer an isolated land. We have rescheduled a period of world interdependence; the affairs of America and Budapest are our affairs, and our affairs teirs. To truly understand other men, to understand common experiences, we must observe the present day movements, the activities of man, we must se, we must appreciate to a limited degree at least the influences, the events that are making history in the world today. Our vision must be a world vision, and that vision will be made from day to day of the newspaper that we can get this world vision.
POET'S CORNER
It has been said that the test of an education is the appreciation of an alien interest. It is the obligation of the college man to society to lead in just this appreciation. Yet, can the average student pass the test?
if it has ben his habit to give five minutes daily to newspaper reading, adopt a new schedule and allow an email to be sent daily, ready, you'll find the most important news on the front page. That's why it's there. on't overlook the editorial. Try reading your newspaper in itself but just "going through it."—Daily Illini

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Editor and K, U, Men;
This is not an explanation nor a justification, it matters little what you may think of me. There were plenty of reasons for my saying what I did. Let that pass. I am writing this trusting that you will be fair. If you want to I am taking notice, then go and esult. If I am wrong, do as you please.
To get right down to facts. This country is at war. Our military organization consists of the navy, the regular army and the National Guard. The army, the navy and the National Guard need men so badly that the auctions offered to make and have made the enlistment for the time of the war. Look at any of the daily papers, read what the men in charge have to say and one cannot doubt that men are needed. The only army we have with which we can fight is a skeleton in all its branches. "Mr Company, your company, you are in the town for men. Captain Jones said, 'It's too bad, but I have to do it.'"
The Kansan says "take the College for instance." All right, take the College. There are 1073 men enrolled in the College. The Kansan says that
68 have enlisted. There are your figures. Let us be charitable and say that the 65 who went home to work on the farm are needed, every one of them, and that older men, men who cannot assume active military service, could not take their places there; Count all of them. That will give you a total of 133 out of 1073 who have responded. You may say, "why ignore the 200 men who are taking military drill and training?" I said many men who be classified with would come to the meals overnight. You cannot tell, I cannot tell, no one can tell how many of these men are going to enlist. The fact remains that they are not now in and that the country needs them.
This first army of men to go out must necessarily be more inadequately taken care of than troops which follow later. They, some of them, will have irksome guard duty to perform, and the first men to go to Europe, if any go, must come from them. These men who are drilling but not in any military organization are asked to support these obligations by enlisting them in a problemabil. So I say, count them out when you are speaking of facts and take the figures. Figures show that 133 men have responded on the 1073 enrolled.
Editor of Kansan;
I am trying to talk sense, men—if I am right, go and enlist, if I am wrong.
It is hardly the thing for an alumnus of the University to criticize the students of his Alma Mater and to accuse them of disloyalty. The spark if patriotism burns just as bright in the hearts of the students of Kansas University as it does in any class of people in the United States. Merely because the students are thinking and trying to decide what is best, each in its own individual case, is no reason for some fellow who happens to have
had a little service on the Mexican border to come along and tell them that they are disloyal and unpatriotic. Just where does the gentleman get his information? Does he not know that every man in the school stands ready to go forth and fight for his country at the minute when the call comes? Do you think that he already enlisted and many more will do so as soon as they can get their affairs in shape without losing their school credits?
Paul R. Greever. Pres.Men's Student Council
When you criticized us Mr. Kangan why did you not acquaint yourself with the facts and then publish your criticism in the University paper?
Editor of the Kansan:
It is up to the students of our University to display in action some of the loyalty they have professed in their use of the American flag.
It is neither possible nor advisable that we all be soldiers or Red Cross nurses, and the field for national service is almost unconfined. In almost every line of industrial activity the nation can be assisted, and the nation can be assisted by a dedicated fare is just as patriotic as service on the battlefield itself.
"What can I do best to aid my country?" should be the question every student in the University should ask himself. It is not a time for private gains when public service is needed. For some the service may consist in simply working harder than ever, at their present occupation, but whatever the service may be, let every one do his part.
University of Utah sacrifices a big U'day' banquet on account of the present crisis. The faculty of that university has decided to give special credit to all those that join the 'Back to the Farm' movement.

The faculty of Columbia University is organized into a general staff and seven special corps for service in case of war. A call for service will be issued to each of the present students, to the president and the officers of the school, and a woman's committee will deal with the service 'or women.' Ex-

What an employment manager says about clothes
ACERTAIN employment manager in a nationally known firm can size up an applicant's ability at a glance.
"How do you do it?" somebody asked.
"A fellow's appearance goes a long way with me," he said, "if he doesn't want a position bad enough to get himself together in the very best style possible. I know that the position doesn't want him."
"A fellow can't help the shape of his head or the size of his nose, but there is no one in the world who cannot be neat and well-groomed."
Today we have received from Hart Schaffner & Marx a fine selection of Varsity Fifty Five suits in checks, stripes, grays, and other colors in different models. They certainly do put a fellow on the map for looking upto-date. And a commanding appearance is surely a good investment.
Every day is our showing off day. We would like to have you see how these new models show you off.
