The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, farther than merely printing the news on paper. The faculty values both: to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to encourage students to leave more serious heads to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

AT YOUR SERVICE
One hundred and fifty University men attended the first drill under the auspices of the University war bureau last night. These and probably twice as many will attend the daily drills and military classes organized under the supervision of Dean Walker.
The plan is for the men to devote an hour and a half daily to this military training. The time is from four-thirty o'clock to six o'clock in the afternoon—a time when most University students are free.
The University war bureau training offers an opportunity which University men should feel duty-bound to avail themselves. Those who enlist for military service as privates will be better soldiers because of the training. And the spirit aroused should result in the immediate filling of the ranks of Company M in which instellments still are desired.
NON-APPLIED CHRISTIANITY
Somebody said that he thought Good Friday might be allowed to pass without a dance.
And somebody else said—"What difference would it make? What happened on Good Friday anyway?"
WAR NEWS
Is your conception of world events clear? Or does your newspaper reading mean that your knowledge is general and hazy?
A discussion with several faculty members and students participating brought several frank statements from men who admitted that their knowledge of history in the making included very little specific information.
One man who was present, blamed the condition partially to the manner in which the telegraph press associations present the news.
"These are scare head times and the press associations have been guilty of forfeiting clearness in their dispatches in order to achieve sensationalism," he said.
Or can this hazy knowledge of current affairs be due to the common practice of reading newspaper headlines alone?
ESCAPING K. U.
The senior girls of Baker University are not going to be outdone by the boys in the class, and will carry poole dogs as their mark of distinction. The dogs will have a purple ribbon around their necks and will be carried by the girls to all their classes. This action was taken by the girls after the boys had voted to carry canes.
The above is a "story" from Baldwin, Kansas. Probably Baker Uki-
versity authorities will deny the horrible details. Baker can sympathize with the University. Inhabitants of Mount Oured have been reported as guilt of similar foolishness. Innocence has been no defense. And devout advocates of denominational colleges have sent their children to various small schools to escape the evils of K. U.
THE NEXT STEP
The athletically inclined students of the University are expressing their appreciation for the improvements being made on the tennis courts near McCook Field. Last fall these courts, except the two used by Varsity men, were in bad shape but the clay put on this spring, when properly worked down, will mean a big improvement to the courts.
Now for some regulation aimed at the tennis court "bog."
Is it possible that a person can be found who will subscribe to all the articles of the Audubon Society when a woodpecker is taking a work-out on the tin roof above his head at six o'clock in the morning?
H!LTTOP PHILOSOPHY
Education seldom hurts a man's good nature.
Big men are not always known by the size of their uniform.
You would think the Lawrence
carriers were authorities on inter-
national law and political theory to
tear them talk.
It pays a barber to change his opinion about the war to agree with his customer.
The view across the south valley these days is worth framing for the memory gallery of every student.
Some kinds of egotism can be cured by a look down from the top of a 29-story building; some only by a drop down.
"If I only had the military training what a good army officer I would make," is a frequent inward observation on Mount Oread.
How do I know? Well, because think that way myself.
Now is the time for K. U. to be startled by its first war marriages
Getting married to avoid conscription in the army doesn't seem to be popular at K. U, as it is in Chicago or Detroit, probably due to lack of funds.
Few will be the young men of military age who break off diplomatic relations with a possible wife this spring.
And those young men who so enjoy lounging in a hammock should join the navy.
POOR SON OF RICH MAN
A son of a rich man recently entered Northwestern University. He declined to follow the traditional custom which prescribes a green cap for the Freshman. Twice the upper classmen took him down to Lake Michigan and threw him in, warning him that must wear a jacket for the cold winter. The lake was cold. It would be colder. Wisdom directed a mending of ways, which in this case meant abandoning the right to wear a hat for a whole school year.
(A moral drawn from a recent col- lence incident).
The rule which commanded green caps for the Freshmen may have been silly, but it was a tradition which the student body of Northwestern prized. It leveled the rich and poor to the one green-topped level. It advertized the wearers as meek and lowly, a thing which was good for them.
For a boy to be handicapped with money is bad enough. We see it's evil effects constantly. But to be handicapped with foolish and pompous parents is even worse. A rich man swollen with a sense of self-importance can all too easily make himself the father of a cad.-Toledo Blade.
When next the young student appeared on the campus he had a body guard consisting of his father and an uncle. Sophocles. Soap opera. The rich man grew very angry. He strutted to the office and withdrew his son's name.
The cap tradition for the University of Kansas, similar to the Northwestern tradition, is endangered by the Senate rule abolishing paddling with no substitute method of enforcing cap wearing. We have no Lake Michigan and Potter Lake is rather far. But it can be used.
Wisconsin will not be represented at the Intercollegiate Regatta on the Woughton pleqheege course this year, the Athletic Committee has approved the training on the grounds that the training for the races affected the hearts of the students. -Texam.
To arms, Columbia, nor let
the partitions of battle ripen pale,
Mike Bloody from the earth
And sea shall die war's final threat.
While Banker Hill's great shaft shal
rise,
And Revolutions lift mankind
Up sloping darkness to the skies!
To arms, Columbia, to arm's;
Save all that dear from naming Mars,
Spartan earth; to arm's to fulfill
dreams beneath the scolm stars;
Make this outrageous war so vast.
No yrntym from it shall emerge,
and we will live forever.
Stay not at peace to sing thy dirge!
POET'S CORNER
TO ARMS!
Thou lovest peace, but Peace herself is buffeted by ruffian wars,
is dine line, interpose or starse?
Yea of the hood or the starse!
Oh, grabs her beauty from vile hands-'Tis she that now unploweth thee—
And thee, I promise to her,
To tremor to tremor, Columbia!
They children lie beneath the sea
Or mould now in foreign dust,
We shrink to draw the fateful sword
of war. I will be with them.
'Tis Armageddon, and who fails
His arm will wither by his side,
For Earth and Heaven are defiled!
by Washington's all dauntless name, and Patricia Henry's fearless call, by George Washington. And Liberty God meant for all, arms of Christ. Came to the town. To go, the world now turns to three, In Great Johavah's name arise, To arm, to arms, Came to the town. To John. F. Howard.

It is announced in the book *Hopkins United* that the ability of every student and alumnus is being indexed in an effort to find how each could serve in the war. Every student and alumnus is to be asked concerning his scientific knowledge and the time and aid he can give. There is already at the medical school a medical unit with about 300 members.
