The Daily Kansan aims to picture the life of the students of the University of Kansas; her than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University has taught to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be serious; to have serious problems to wiser heeds; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

AN OVERT ACT
He that rislest half must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness entwined that poverty soon overtakes him.
Dispatches in this morning's newspapers declare the United States is unofficially in a state of war with Germany due to the committing of "overt acts" by Germany against the United States. American ships have been sunk without warning by German submarines and American lives have been lost.
President Wilson has so construed the meaning of the word "overt act" to protect American rights on the high seas. He does not consider the sinking of an American ship without warning is the only overt act against the United States but he has applied it further to mean the sinking of any ship without warning which results in the loss of American life is an "overt act." Referring to the dictionary for the original meaning of the term we find an "overt act is an open or manifest act from which criminality is implied."
In the world war there have been many cases in which criminality could be implied. The sinking of ships, the loss of American lives, the declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare are all subject to criminal implication. The President has, however, given them a liberal construction and issued a warning to Germany showing the probable attitude of this government in case of further evidence of "overt acts."
The warning has been sent out and overt acts have been committed by Germany. The President has done all in his power and must now depend upon Congress to preserve the honor of the United States and American rights on the high seas.
A University instructor who neglects to call the roll, and who requests recitations by the card system, "calls on" one senior with particular frequency. Neither the instructor nor senior know that members of the class have inserted four duplicate cards bearing the senior's name into the pack of recitation cards.
COLEMAN OF BAKER
To more than any other member of the state senate, credit for the passage of the permanent income resolution belongs to Senator Rolla W. Coleman of Merriam. Senator Coleman introduced the resolution, and his committee on educational institutions recommended it for passage. His speech advocating the permanent income measure, helped secure the necessary two-thirds vote.
Senator Coleman is a Baker University graduate. In his student days
ne admits harboring a dialike for the University. In public office, Senator Coleman forgot prejudice. Rather he considered the welfare of the state educational institutions.
Senator Coleman's stand is a lesson to University students and alumni in loyalty.
PASS THE PRAIRIE DOG
A government expert says the prairie dog is to be tamed, civilized and introduced into the best carniferous society along with beef, pork, and mutton.
Let us hope that the price of potatoes will go down, or that Kansas prairie dogs will change their habits before fried prairie dog occupies a place on the menu of the K. U. boarding club.
When the Mankato basketball teams arrived for the tournament, every Mankato student in the University was at the station. That's spirit.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
It is to the credit of the University that instructors of the history department are alive to the times. Only last week students were given opportunity to hear Prof. W. W. Davis discuss the foreign policy of the United States and its relation to the present crisis. Members of the International Polity club heard from Prof. D, L. Patterson a vivid description of the battle of the Marne—a description given after a personal visit over the battle field.
The anti-cigarette law passed by he Kansas legislature is much more interesting to University students than the drastic "bone dry" law, Frankly, any cigarette legislation affects inhabitants of Mount Oread more than new liquor laws.
WARNING TO "MARKERS"
A QUESTION OF EDUCATION
It has been said by a professor of social pathology that the University student who carves his name or initial on the arm of a class room chair has taken a step toward becoming a criminal. If this is true, the evidences on the furniture, walls and even the statues in the various buildings indicate that the University will be sending more than its share to prison.
An instructor in the department of journalism objected when he discovered that a member of one of his classes was enrolled in four "writing courses" in the departments of English and journalism.
"You should learn something to write about," the instructor said. The student believed the instructor was wrong.
What do you think?
A. J. Fridstein, universal military training advocate and member of the Chicago Tribune staff, says that the Tribune is the greatest newspaper in the world. Florence Finch Kelly comes back to her home town in Lawrence and says that the only newspapers that are really representative are in New York. Both may be right. In our world on Mount Oread, the University Daily Kansan claims recognition. It fills a need as much as do the Chicago and New York dailies.
FOR THE PERMANENT INCOME
There is one enchanting development in Kansas which requires a high level of education in Kansas have been waging to secure proper support for the schools of the state. That is the recent adoption of a resolution submitting to the people next year a plan for giving the schools a permanent income, which will obviate the "biennial mendicancy" that has brought about by the funds from the legislature the funds needed to carry on the work of the public school system. There is every reason for believing that when the people have this unequivocal opportunity to go on record in favor of generous support of the schools they will declare themselves the greatest liberality consistent with sound public policy—Kansas City Journal.

Forty-seven high school basketball teams are entered in state tournament. Office of editor of Daily Kansan is declared vacant by resolution of Men's Student Council, after charge had been made on the board of the Holds court board had sworn out warrants for the arrest of the council for tacking up dance posters. Editor John Madden refuses to be ousted and writes an editorial.
HAND IT TO BILLY MORAN
In looking for the reasons for the exceptionally good record by the team this year, this year, those who attended the session know one of the first causes—William Y. Morgan, lieutenant governor.
HAND IT TO "BILLY" MORGAN
Mr. Morgan went to Topeka this year with an idea of doing something else besides pounding the gavel and deciding points of order. He pulled off his coat the first day and went into the fight for every good measure in sight. He helped the progressive wing win the fight in that body, kept the administration program always to the front, and took a personal interest in seeing to it that the bills were not jurgled or amended to injure them.
There might have been a different story to tell if it had not been for the service Mr. Morgan renders. The president of the lieutenant governor was made a big factor in legislation, and every senator in the fight for progressive legislation is ready to "hand it" to "Billy" Morgan as the national senate leader—Kansas City Star.
And Billy Morgan, a University graduate, was one of the loyal alumni who worked consistently for University interests.
COLLEGE TALK
"The poverty of subjects for conversation among college students was commented upon recently in an article quoted from a prominent western college daily. It is a lack of interest, of habit of thought and upon the narrowness of our interests. There are, to be sure, certain groups of students whose interests are more or less diversified, but for the great mass there is but one topic, one universal theme which we all share, for endless discussion, day after day, night after night; and that, of course, is sport.
"On street cars and trains, about card and table tables, at dances and theatres, along the campus walks and in the halls between classes, the student goes on caneselessly about his one favored topic. Introduce something else, in sheer weariness, divert his as you may, soon the talk languishes, and revives only when his life is returned to. These students are doing various sorts of work, they are intelligent, fair-witted, have trait, like people, less know many people; but as sources for their conversation all such things are as though they did not exist. On the one subject of sport will they speak fluently, debate earnestly, argue enthusiastically, quote 'dope' without end.
"Is it any wonder that when a man travels, the only conversation he can share in a smoking compartment or chair car relates to business or baseball? And if he happens to be interested in neither of these peculiarly American topics, what is left to him but to bury himself in a magazine or go to sleep to while away the hours?" —Ohio State Lantern.
"The truth is that the instructors of freshmen in colleges are usually not anything like so competent as the teachers the student had in the upper years of his high school course."—A "Professor" in the New Republic.
"You can't get undergraduates here interested in national affairs," said the editor of the daily paper of one of the great university cities in America, who is absolutely indifferent."-Herman Hagedorn, JR., formerly instructor at Harvard.
