U. 25 and 66 Published in the afternoon five times of each month, from press of the National, front page of the newspaper. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely print the news or display it by briefly describing its priorities; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students at the University. TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1917. ENLIST IN COMPANY M Poor Richard Says: One today is worth two tomorrows. INSPITE IN COMMISSION In spite of the vigorous campaign, enlistment in Company M is negligible. The University company which was among the first to fill its ranks during the Spanish-American war, is falling behind its great tradition. By enlisting sixteen men from outside of the University the company now has its maximum peace strength, but it must have fifty more men before the company is called out. Where is the spirit of the college men of '98, or even of '61? Is all our manhood being buried in the graves of the Civil war veterans, or does every University man want a commission? The volunteer system is unjust, inefficient and a failure but that does not excuse the miserable showing made by the University men in failing to enlist. CLAP-TRAP PATRIOTISM Company M should be filled up to war strength before it is called out. And now comes rumors that a certain class of students are taking advantage of the "war-ceredit" rule recently passed by the University Senate; and that many withdrawals are being received at the Dean's office from students who probably will do little more than loaf in the village drug store once they go home, instead of doing the work they pretend to the University authorities they will do. Perhaps the Senate was too completely carried away with patriotic enthusiasm when it passed the rule. Certainly, it did not force that there would be students among us who would deliberately take advantage of their generosity to withdraw from school on the most flimsy pretenses of going to work. That there are such students here seems to be evidenced by the amount of talk about "dropping out of work and getting full credit." As the Kansan sees it, each student who leaves school with full "war credit" for the semester should be held to a strict accounting for his activity after he reaches home. Perhaps, even, each case ought to be carefully considered before the student leaves Lawrence. But if certain students are discovered to be taking advantage of the ruling to be withdrawing without the intention of really working they should be dealt with summarily. Dismiss them from the University at once, if necessary, and deprive them of their credit for the semester. The University of Kansas is no place for clap-trap patriotism. CLOSING THE DOORS At nearly every convoitation and lecture many students are compelled to stand in the aisles or sit upon a hymn book on the floor while the townpeople occupy the seats. If a student does not have a 3:30 class perhaps he can get up on the Hill in time to get a seat which some club woman did not take because it was undesirable. But if he is so unfortunate as to have a class the hour before the lecture he will have to stand the entire hour or else go home. This isn't fair to those for whose benefit the lectures are planned. Why is it that those in authority do not close the doors to the townspeople until after the whistle has blown and the students have had an opportunity to get seats. HE'S WEARING IT NOW Once there was a freshman who thought to his own sweet little self: "Now that the Senate has passed the anti-paddling rule, I won't need to wear my cap any longer." And so he, in his superior manner, thrust tradition aside, domned a surenuf hat, and journeyed forth to Mount Oread. And when he got there, he noticed that he was one of the very few of his classmates who had failed to wear the postage stamp headgear; verily, he soon discover that the very men in his class whom he thought would amount to something were wearing the cap. But he was undaunted. "Ha! Ha!" he laughed, softly, silently to himself—his own sweet little self. "These fellows are foolish." Just then the young neophyte was halted by a bunch of gentlemen interested in gardening, and requested to help three of his classmates—who, the freshman observed, had also failed to wear their caps—dig up the dandelions which infested some fifty square yards of campus. It wasn't very pleasant work; and as young Mr. Freshman thought it over, he decided, after all, that perhaps the loyal thing to do was to wear the cap. Not the easiest thing to do, but the loyal thing to do! And so he wore it, next time. And so he wore it, next time. Now the Fates who watch over that particular freshman's career are sorting the cards anew; for he promises, after all, to be of some service to his Alma Mater.

TO HONOR CO-EDS Speaking in the vernacular of the country in general, a co-ed is a person who wears hobnailed boots, affects the appearance of them despicable traits in a woman. But properly and locally speaking, a co-ed is a delightfully light and airy person with a mind of her own who is eager to enjoy life without resort to argument. She fluctuates between English walking shoes by day and silver slippers by night. She is agreeable sensible and satisfyingly inconsequential in her manner and companionate in her walk. In fact, a very pleasing sort of person. The dean of women suggested recently that Washington women rise as a body and resent the misnomer of co-ed. But why abandon an epithet which we have finally tamed and from which the sting has been removed? Rather, be proud of having lived the stigma out of the co-ed. A co-ed is only a woman student working under the system of co-education. Nothing very terrible in that, especially when the woman is a 1917 model. The slur was a vestige of the days when a woman was a freak in a man's college, an usurper of masculine privacy and prestige. That is all over now. A coed-today is an essential bit. True, she is all mixed up with sport clothes, coon shuffles and frivolos, but under it all there is a great deal of independence and independence. She is the finished product, the successor to that old vestige. Out of respect for that vestige let us keep the old "o-ced" and be proud of it. Instead of doing away with the tie, Washington should be proud that at least one repugnance—Washington Daily. SENATE FOLOWS TRADITION To The Editor: CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be skipped as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent It is easy enough for the Senate to say that the paddling question is of little consequence and that ten years from now we will realize how little it matters whether we as Freshmen were paddled into wearing a little blue cap, or went gaily on the Hill to get into theuest hobbesdariess of our home town. Ten years ago we cried when we bumped our heads. The pain to us at that time was great. True we have forgotten all about that today, but we can sympathize with those in crying in the crying over bumps stage. Paddling to enforce the wearing of the Freshman cap is one of the very few traditions of our University. To do away with it, it breaks another tradition by enforcing the cap upon the Freshman will be tolerated as it will be catalogued under the head of hazing. The only alternative they offer is to "create sentiment". That sounds simple, but he also enforces another and an institution like ours with its different colleges and coeds such a thing is impossible. The Senate has willfully, and against the wishes of the student body broken one of our traditions. But in doing so it has followed another tradition, that of breaking all traditions. Paddler.
