Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell, K. U. 25 and 66...
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, as better than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University has taught them. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be curious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of our ability the students of University.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1917.
Poor Richard Says:
THE CAMPUS AS A FARM
Industry pays debts, but deapair in creases them.
With thousands of acres of land in Kansas lying idle through lack of men to cultivate it; with more thousands of acres capable of producing double the amount they are now yielding if given more intensive cultivation, some enthusiast made the doubtful proposal that the grass covered slopes of Oread be converted into a field of waving wheat.
Within easy walking distance of the campus are hundreds of acres of pasture land, fully as fertile as is the University campus, which might be farmed by students as easily as Mount Oread.
Douglas county could use almost every man and woman in the University on its farms, while every section of the state is in need of farm hands.
It has taken years of hand feeding to cover the campus with the grass which makes it one of the beauty spots of the state, and one heavy rain would wash its freshly plowed soil into the Kaw.
But if the campus must be used, it could be made to "do its bit" by using it—as it was used until five or six years ago—as pasture.
Any student or faculty man so obsessed with the back-to-the-farm idea that he favors destroying the work of fifty years for the sake of a few bushels of grain might find all the land he can care for, covered with tin cans and barrel hoops, in Lawrence vards.
SAVE AND CONSERVE
The popular slogan, "Save and Conserve," now displayed in nearly every window, does not apply to only the commercial world. We can save and conserve our energy every day. There isn't any need to spend three hours in doing a one hour task. Learn to do each thing in the shortest time and yet get the best results. Too much time is spent in getting down to business. This is extravagance and extravagance is costly. Learn to save and conserve energy.
COURTESY TO THE FLAG
Some of the student organizations have either forgotten or do not know that it is a mark of disrespect to the flag to have it waving at night even if a spot light is turned upon it. The rule is that the flag should be displayed out of doors only between sunrise and sunset.
With the prospect of armed camp dotting the country from coast to coast, it would be well for civilians to learn the trick of taking off their hat when the colors are carried past their Women, of course, can not take of their hats to the colors but they can look at the flag in a respectful man
pee and cease talking and laughing as the colors are carried by.
SPRING FEVER
Measles, quinzy, and spring fever threaten the inhabitants of Mbun Oread. The greatest of these is spring fever. The victims of the disease show a listlessness and a moony countenance. They have a way of sighing up at the trees and the sky; it is hard to keep them within doors. They complain of heaviness of head and feet. They suffer much from lethargy—but their grades suffer more. Beware of the symptoms.
The idler he who plays and fritters his time away is of course not to be praised or commended, neither is the person who comes to the University merely for a good time. But too often condemnation falls on a student who does not apply himself strictly and industriously to the outlined work. Yet in his desultory observation, his scattered reading and his wide intercourse with people he may be learning more than the University has to offer than the ones who pull It's in every course. Many of the great geniuses were known as mediocre students in school, such as Scott, Thackeray and Balzac.
Conservation of food will help many cities in that they will not have to find better and more adequate means of disposing of the garbage.
Along with the "Life's Darkest Moment" series, belongs the picture of the girl who has just learned that her favorite professor is not only married but has a son nine years old.

KNOW YOUR FRIENDS
How many people do you know intimately? True, there are probably a host of students about the university with whom you have a fair, passable relationship to them? Society draws about people meeting in groups a haze so that they do not see each other clearly. Oh, yes, we can have a good time with our fellow students, laugh, and play games and one thing and another, but not know them as we know the members of our own family, for instance.
We know the company face of our friends, but do not realize their deeper, more constant personality. Did you ever see "Peg" Smith at home? No. Well, then, you are acquainted with only a portion of his personal life. If they will they in the few hours that they are together find out more about each man's real everyday personality than they would in a year at school.
Trump with a fellow for a day and you will uncover his weaknesses and his virtues. His temper, courage, assitity, kindness, decency, honesty, loyalty, wisdom, generosity, you with a force that you never before thought possible. This is merely suggestive. Have you a friend whom you would like to know in a finer, more intimate way? Spring days are coming, and nature that will not stand a bluff bids you two to come home; their presence.-Williamette College.

The History of Men's Works and Deeds Much we hear of K. U.
Student's have gone—none yet return.
Their places here to fill.
E'er they return, the quiet scene.
Not broken by a sound.
Thru History—not the printed page
But yet the Past is but the means;
The Present is in the wind.
The Past but forged the weapons, and We with the foe contend.
Tomorrow, but some hours away,
we may go forth; and we
Can but remain and pray for them.
Some we may never see.
We give to them a giant's task,
A task for Mard his true
And many are who ne'er return.
Many—and yet but few.
ah but remain and pray for them Some we may never see.
Many there are who ne't will climb Mount Oread's steep slope,
But few be there whose thoughts are not

They all dwell on this Hill.
"But the man who was
A hundred years, a thousand years,
A million years—what then?
With us in prayers and hope.
"An say to us, "You, men have lacked
To serve your country here."
No man who wields the nation's sword.
Or derules the nation's sword.
60 man who wields the nation's sword
or guides the nation's spear.
Their names are changed, perhaps, but
yet
that they do not differ at all.
Their work's no different still.
So let them seek their fame abroad, if there their glory waits, Nor seek to turn the hand of God Who points them to their wives
Can we then say the names that live
Are not the names of men?
And the heir names forgotten be. (And names mean little, too). These men who bravely leave us now Will honor old K. U.

CAMPUS OPINION
HELP WANTED
K. U. students are not slackers. We contend that there are no men more patriotic in the nation than the Kansans that inhabit Mount Oread. We have been criticized for our slow response to the call to the ranks of volunteers.
As a matter of fact there are scores of men in the University who are ready and anxious to enlist in some phase of the war where they think they can do the most good but there is not any way in which they can get the information on the subjects they want.
To find out about the navy or any branch of the service other than that of private in the ranks of the militia, they must go to Kansas City. Why can't the government station some men at the University or Lawrence to advise men as to what course to follow in doing their bit for the nation? The average student knows nothing or the branches of the fighting body. There are vocations in it as well as there are in professional work. Let's get some help before we decide that K. U. men are not doing their part.
Not A Slacker.
DIPPING DAPPER DUDES To The Editor;
We stand at the beginning of a new era. The day of paddling is past, but that of dipping is just dawning. We believe with the engineers that freshman green is more easily washed off than pounded out. What is the use of handling with intrepidry and treat them like men. Moreover dipping is a perfectly religious proceeding; no one can object; even the most delicate of constitutions have been subjected to baptism.
