The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, thereby more than merely printing the news by standing for it, but also playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more senior students wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

A GOOD PLAN
CHEERLEADER
Now is the time for everyone to do his share in producing food to provide for the world shortage. At the University of Illinois the fraternities are heeding President Wilson's call for an increased output of food stuffs, and are considering ways and means to secure vacant lots in Champaign and Urbana for immediate planting to potatoes and other garden truck. Kansas could well follow their example.
"The University of Kansas began her spring baseball season on April 5 in a hotly contested game with the Kansas Normals. Although many students had gone home for the Easter vacation, some 500 rooters were present to cheer the Jayhawker nine to victory. This they did, but with a great deal of trouble, for the University cheerleader, as usual, was not on hand."
The Daily Kansan did not, at the time, print the above news story. But now that the University Senate has decided to continue athletics, and that there will soon be another home baseball game, it is time that attention be called to the non-presence of a cheerleader at baseball games. This has been the condition at Kansas for many years; and it is not unlikely that it will continue unless something is done.
Playing the ukelele and singing popular songs is no longer the after dinner pleasure of many of the fraternities. Instead they remove their coats, hitch up their belts and are marched up and down, back and forth and hither and you, in a vain effort to get them to respond to the proper signals. This is good work. Keep it up.
CONVOCATION IN THE GYM
Because of the large crowd attending each conventation, the Kansan suggests that the next one be in Robinson Gymnasium. Practically all of the three thousand would attend if they knew that there would be seats or at least standing room for all.
If the convocations were held in the Gymnasium, perhaps there would be room enough for a little of the much-written-of college spirit to be manifested by the students. Is K. U. too dignified to indulge in a college yell or sing a college song at convocation? By the large attendance students have shown that they like convocations. They want to get together occasionally, hear good speakers, and show their school spirit. There are only five more weeks of actual school work, but it isn't too late for convocations to be held in the Gymnasium
Some students never thought about the folks at home except when they wanted the allowance. But since the new ruling was made by the Senate they are all thinking about how much they can help "the folks at home" and serve their country. Professors hint that the coming quizzes had something to do with this sudden change of heart.
One meets on and about Mount Oread certain downy lipped beings clad in brown, with straight hat brims, and the tightest of leggings. He may stoop to brush imaginary dust from the brown khaki; or he may rub one shining shoe on the back of a legging. How untried as yet are those new wings of his! How conscious he is of his appearance and the sensation he creates. But the vanity of youth, must not be censored. It will all too soon disappear in the rear of cannon and the blasts of exploding shells. And he will come back,—ah, how different.
If the war results in an increased power of federal government as the Chancellor suggested and does away with states rights the University may have an auditorium in which there will be seats enough for all of the students and none will be turned away because there isn't even standing room.

WELL-BALANCED MEN
College men, who devote a major part of their university life to various activities not of an academic manager, are called the teachers. They tend their position and attitude. These same men, in turn, call upon those who place all of their efforts on academic work to explain wherein theyaving greater value from college life.
Both types are extremes to be found in any institution, and both have valid argument to offer in favor of either. If the argument can be far better for all concerned if both would merge into a single type that approached the happy medium, in order that their universities andcollege produce a more uniform graduate.
A college is primarily constructed in order to cater to scholars. It is not a haven for social butterflies and athletes. At the same time, a college should be a meeting place for wide-awake men, where knowledge can be gained by friendship as well as by books. Scholarship and friendship are best acquired in college, and the blending of the two should be so perfect that the over-emphasis of one will not be a detriment to the other.
The duty of him who has a tendency to develop into an unpopular "grind" is to get out into the open and move beyond that which is not to be found in books. The duty of him who spends most of his time in social activity is to burn books that are written in books that which he cannot learn from society—The Daily Maroon.

CAMPUS OPINION
WHY WAIT
Editor Daily Kangan.
Communications must be signed in evidence of good faith but names will not be mishandled.
The University shelterers a multitude of truly patriotic men who seem to be waiting for the psychological moves of patriotism generated by some unusual German atrocity shall sweep over the country and carry them in a mud rush to the colors. It is a trait of great national pride. Few people are independent thinkers.
It would be far better for the nation if every man responded at once, and then, should the war be of short duration or our services not needed, the nation will not have to pay the price of waiting. Enlisted.
University men should think before they act. As Britain urges, it is the better part to go slow. On the other hand, as has been pointed out, the psychological moment when men will enlist is very often not that moment when the nation needs their services most. The United States is going on to war on a large scale. Millions of men are engaged. As a consequence, too much waiting for the psychological moment may prove disastrous to the nation.
The United States is the eleventh nation to enter the fight against Gaddafi.
WAR FACTS

The Vacation Program
Tomorrow is Thurs.
Back to the corn
An' the cockle-buns,

Dust off old hat,
Have old suit cleaned—
Shines where you Set;
Take out your girl;
Take in the Sun,
before you leave
To dinner, then
On next morn
Board your choo-choos,
Get back for 1.00s
But cut your Tues.

IMPROVED CIRCUMSTANCES
Father (at head of table)—When you are enough to easily dry bread for my dinner, dry bread for my dinner.
Mrs. Subbubs—Yes, and it's so hard to get a cook, too.
He—Didn't some idot propose to you before my marriage?
Small daughter—Well, daddy, you are having a much better time now!

AT OTHER SCHOOLS
A "warm-up" ball is the latest thing to be introduced in baseball, and Christy Mathewson, the famous old Giant hurler, and now boss of the Cincinnati Reds, is responsible for it. The ball is about two ounces heavier than the regulation ball, and Matty has had one made up separately for his team. He will give it a trial this spring. The idea is that the pitcher, who will use the ball in warming up preparatory to taking his turn in the box, will get used to the "feel" of it and that the regulation ball, which he will take upon entering the box, will feel comparatively light to him and perhaps more comfortable. The theory is the same as that on which is based the practice of a batter swinging three bats before stepping up to the plate.—Utah Chronical.
Evidently other universities also have their troubles with buildings. Recently 175 square feet of plaster fell from the ceiling of the main hall of the University of Wisconsin. One student passed at the time was injured in the arm, but otherwise no damage was done.Daily Texan.
For the purpose of protecting the lives of small freshmen and the timid co-eds during the high spring winds, an iron railings has been placed on all steps leading into the main building at the University of Texas. The need of such protection has been shown by the fact that several persons were seriously injured the past winter by falling down the stems.
It costs a penny a minute to be late to Herr Bernhard Uhlendorf's German class at the University of Illinois. The professor has already three cents, there is seventeen cents in the treasury, and thirteen cents on the books. The proceeds will be used for a "nice German picnic" by the instructors and students, and picnics at Iowa are not very fashionable this year—Daily Iowa.
President Murlin is anxious to have Boston University represented in the work of mercy on the European war front by a "Boston University Ambulance." To that end he has issued an appeal to the trustees, faculties, and staff of Boston University to provide $1,950 to furnish, equip man, and transport such an ambulance and keep it in service for a year. —Boston University News.
A bill providing for a minimum wage of forty cents an hour for all employees of the University excepting the officers and members of the faculty, has been introduced into the house and referred to the committee on appropriations. The bill, should it go into effect, would double and even triple the salary of some of the employees.—Daily Illini.
Sociology classes of Colgate University will travel through the East during spring vacation, on a tour of inspection of the different racial colonies in New York City. They will visit courts, pediatricians, hospitals, home health care, and the like. Wonder if they get four days, including Saturday and Sunday, for a spring vacation?—Indiana Daily Student.
"Chewing tobacco and expectatoring in the University buildings are forbidden. Any one guilty of this practice hereafter will be reported for discipline. This notice, posted on my desk in Building 14, Building, leads us to believe that some of our embryo lawyers will, at least, make model J. P.'s--Daily Illini
Berkeley students will erect a museum in the near future which will contain a co-operative store, a dining hall, and an acting stage for dramatic performances, and a student publication offices. The expense will be met by the profits of the store and by a tax of $1.00 a semester on the building is paid for.—Student Life
