The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and speaking to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university and to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1917.

THE WAR AND THE UNIVERSITY Higher learning is placed on trial by the declaration of war.
From the ranks of educated men and women must come the sound judgment that refuses to be swayed by popular hysteria.
Educated men must serve in the army and navy. Educated men and women must use their talents in technical lines to add to the fighting efficiency of the country. They must sacrifice gladly.
University of Kansas students and faculty promise to live up to these requirements.
There is no reason why the University should go into the proverbial "sack cloth and ashes."
The most effective service for the nation will not be achieved by bombast and excitement. The University can serve best by quiet, earnest effort, based on the realization that the United States is engaged in a critical struggle to uphold democracy and Christian ideals.
The action of the University Senate in refusing to eliminate entirely commencement exercises, because of the war, seems wise.
Student activities should continue on a moderate scale. There should be no unnecessary expense. Decorations for the Sophomore Hop should be simple. Elaborate parties can be curtailed, but need not be omitted. There appears to be little logic in the suggestion that athletes be given up—decidedly not the intra-mural contests unless the same energy is devoted to military drill.
Authorities at the helm of the University already are facing war problems. An opening decision was made by the University Senate to allow students entering military service before the semester's close, full credit for their work. Students and many faculty members alike, face the question of enlisting. Probably fifty have entered the National Guard in the past week. The University unit in the Kansas National Guard, Company M, is not yet recruited to full strength, however.
Executive officers of the school are uncertain as to the effect of the war on the University enrollment next year. The answer to this will come along with the answers to other questions, when the exact details of national policy in pushing the war, are made known.
THE PADDLING DECISION
After requesting an expression of student sentiment, the University Senate disciplinary committee immediately recommended the abolishing of paddling and the Senate adopted the recommendation.
Paddling is no more—the student vote notwithstanding.
It is further announced that it is left to the students to decide what shall be done to enforce the cap rule.
The Kansan admits the possibility that the decision to abolish paddling may be justifiable.
But in all seriousness, the Kansar believes that having eliminated padding, the Senate or the disciplinary committee as its representative, should work out some substitute method that would mean that the freshmen cap tradition is retained.
The mere abolishing of paddling, followed by an 'I should worry' attitude over the retention of the cap tradition does not seem fair.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to observe how many freshmen wear their designated caps this week—and next.
A SWEET MORAL LESSON
There was a young lady named Frances
Who went to the Wednesday night dances.
But now since the raid
She says it don't pay to take chances
What K. U, really needs is a Society for the Prevention of Tortoise Shell Rimmed Spectacles.
TIS A HARD LIFE
There is always consolation for disappointed friends of the University. Inadequate support may be all that is received from the state legislature. But the University might fare worse.
The Kansan reprints from the Emporia Gazette today, the suggestion by William Allen White, that the freshmen and probably the sophomore classes of the University be eliminated.
The suggestion recalls the "Efficiency and Economy" report, made by Senator Lambertson and Representative Burton:
"K U. is heavy at the top," said the report. The assertion was made that too much emphasis is placed on graduate work and too little on freshmen and sophomore studies.
Doing away with the University might end the argument.
Is has been suggested that the laws expend the energy now used in standing on Green Hall steps in cultivating the flower beds.

“What is a monologue?”
“It is a sort of conversation you get when you call on a prof.”—Yale Record.
"To be at home in all lands and at all ages; to count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and a criticism of your own work; to study the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in general activity; to speak with world leaders for common ends; to learn manhood from students who are gentlemen and for character under professors who are Christians. This is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life," says William Wilson, the founder of Brown College (the school from which Longfellow was graduated)—O. M. U. Campus.

POET'S CORNER
Our hands are trembling and our eyes
grow dim:
And yet some hundred thousand things we leaked.
SPRING FEVER
Our brains are reeling from the hail of fact.
Oh give us rest!
From multitude of detail set us free! Who cares today just how Great Caesar lived;
Or how erythro-dextrin came to be.
rne laboratory mocks, the classroom
palls;
We pray for rest!
Outside the flowers are springing, birds are singing.
NOW THEN—
he river sparkles, Life and Spring time calls.
The 1917 Kansas legislature has passed a law subsidizing high schools which will add a "junior college" to two years of college work. Now then-
time calls. Ruth Patrick.
Let the 1910 legislature pass another law, subsidizing the Kansas denominated colleges which carry on work for which credit is given by the University, and let the University do away with its freshman and sophomore classes and devote its entire time to being a "senior" college and a graduate and professional school.
Handling of large droves of freshmen has been the greatest task at the University. It has been the chief financial problem and the chief teaching problem. It has cost the state a lot of money without getting important results, because the under classes at the University have been taught, in large part, by assistant professors, assistant assistant professors, instructors and assistant instructors and paid meager wage and therefore bring the University a meager training and a meager teaching experience.
The Kansas towns the size of Emporia and larger will adopt the junior college idea, and the result will be to keep at home 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds, who should be kept at home. If the Kansas demographic is it will take care of the rest of these junior collegians, the real bane of the University.
The state should not give its aid to the denominational schools unless the denomination schools rigidly conform to certain conditions. State aid should be given only to a school which will raise for its junior college department twice the sum required to prepare the school should have the right to prescribe the grade of work, and the right to pass upon the qualifications of the members of the faculty.
The junior college has been established as a success. It is time for the University to take a long step forward by turning over to other hands the work of preparing students for work that really is of university grade.-William Allen White in the Emoria Gazette.
In the College of Emporia, such recognized teachers as F. T. Owen, Conrad Vandervelde and T. E. Mergendahl, men of teaching experience and of worth, teach freshman classes. In the University, men of learning are seen a freshman in a classroom once a month. The Emporia condition exists in other colleges of Kansas. Men and women who are real teachers are meeting freshman classes, but freshmen sometimes are gage-educated. The students in these college of fellows and third-rate instructors. Ten thousand dollars a year, say, from the state, conditional upon the college itself spending $20,000 from its denominational supporters, upon the freshmen and sophomore instructors, and many denominational school in the state—and it would be a greater thing for the state.
"Art wins the heart," the maiden elicited.
The University is growing rapidly. But it is becoming too cluttered up with freshmen, and is spending too much time and money on advanced high school work to be a real university. It is doing worse done by the high schools, aided and assisted by the denominational colleges.
