The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, who often ther than merely print the news on paper or online; they verify holdings; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be respectful; to be wise; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University the students of the University.

DAILY CHAPEL
Each year there is a cry for a continuation of the spirit manifested during the football season. Apparently, passing of the gridiron warriors marks the death of enthusiasm as far as the school in general is concerned. For this condition there is one fundamental cause—the inability of the students to meet as a body. Enthusiasm of a general nature requires common thought, common purpose, and constant association of the individuals who are to generate the spirit. But there cannot be the association, the common purpose, or the common thought without some means of collecting the students as a body. Until several years ago the system of daily chapel afforded an opportunity to unify the University population but since the practice was abolished there has been a lack of student meetings and with this lack of gatherings has come a corresponding lack of spirit.
We long to return to the good old days when the Thundering Thousand was something more than a fond recollection. We desire to see some of the old enthusiasm, some of the spirited rivalry between classes and various other factions. It once featured K. U. life and conditions would permit the presence of such spirit now. One thing stands in the way—the inability of students to meet as a body Daily chapel exercises would supply this need.
Give 'em air!
MORE VENTILATION
The most effective remedy for professors to apply to students who show a tendency to let a vacant look steal over their faces during lecture hours, or to go to sleep outnight, is merely to walk across the room and open a window. After forty people have breathed the air contained in one small classroom for an hour, which they do more often than not, surely it has earned the right to be dismissed with the students.
WHOOP 'ER UP
The last home games on the Kansas basketball schedule will be played tonight and tomorrow night in the gym. The Cornhuskers have a strong team and the Jay Hawkers will have to put forth their best efforts to win. Kansas fans should fill the gym for these two games and give the team the same heartied support they would the football men.
K. U. has reached a critical point on her schedule. The slump which struck the team at the time of the games with the Aggies at Manhattan is just subsiding and whether Kansas finishes this season in victory or defeat depends largely on the outcome of these two games. Next week the season ends with two games against Missouri, Wednesday and Thursday
and two against Washington University. Friday and Saturday.
The team is in fighting trim and has shown a big improvement in work since the Washington games but much depends on the support given them.
You can do your part by rooting for the boys tonight and tomorrow night.
The hope of a Permanent Income for the University as a part of a new constitution for the state has apparently been obliterated by the Senate with its vote against the resolution allowing the voters to decide whether a convention is necessary.
The fight for the Permanent Income Bill will not cease with this obstacle. In fact, the fight will go on harder than ever, except through different channels. There is a chance that the permanent income measure will be submitted to a vote of the people at the next regular election as a constitutional amendment. Or, the legislature may pass the measure.
Anyway the fight is only half over. The County Club Union of the University and similar organizations in other schools have done a good work. If their efforts are not successful this years they will have a good start when the next legislature meets.
Now that local authorities have declared with certainty that there are 4,000,000 moths already caught in Lawrence by banding elm trees, you can either believe it or count them for yourself.
THE REAL HEROES
War is thoroughly ground into the spirit of our age. It is reflected by the roar of cannons and the boom of guns. It is the time of a "heap big noise." The big husky fellow who gets his nose thumped in a football game, and the soldier who is wounded on the battle field are lauded to the sky. The world forgets all about the man who silently but faithfully fills his little niche, and the University man who goes out of the Institution with no metals, but with the will to make the life of others easier. But
all these two men are the greater heroes. "It's harder to live for one's country, than to die for it."
A PORTABLE AGE
Stuart Walker's Portmanteau Theater is but one step farther in the popular movement for portable devices. We have folding cups, folding chairs, typewriters that can be folded up and almost put in our pockets, folding cases of all kinds, folding coat hangers, and so on *ad functum*.
Who knows but some day, we may solve the problem of the modern rooming house by carrying folding houses about with us, to be furnished with pocket edition furniture.
Anyway, we welcome the portmanteau theater to our campus. Here's to the success of the portable stage.
Why have the paragraphers overlooked the possibilities for an item on the appropriateness of the name D. Funk for the local undertaker? But perhaps it's dead.
A bill pending action of the legislature calls for a fine for persons caught smoking cigarettes. The legislator who introduced it has done his work for the year and may be assured of the support of all Podunk for the same job in the next election.
"Just a moment, please. Will you kindly open that window a trifle Mr. So-and-So? Thank you. We will now proceed."
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
"May I bother you again to close the window, it is a little cold now." "Thank you."
Thus it goes. The instructors of the classes meeting in. Fraser Hall must continually stop recitations to regulate the ventilation of the room.
Ten minutes elapse.
There is no longer a shadow of a doubt that we need either new rooms or a better system of ventilation.

NEWHAM MU?
There is a university
Way up north.
Nice school too—
Co-eds, ukuleles,
Jazz time and all that—
But they wouldn't
Keep the
Campus clean.
Of course this was
Way up north so
What could you
Expect?
Way they even built
a common bill-board,
A cheap theatrical
Sign, right on
The campus!
But one of these
Northerners came to
Kay You, one day.
He saw everything
Spick and span!
No circus bill-board
Discussed the K. U.
Campus!
This man hither hither
Northward and told
Much—very, very
Much.
These people
Way up north
Considered their dirt.
They cleaned up.
They burnt the
Bill-board too.
The campus ain't
Piled up with
Junk no
More.
WITH THE POETS
FLUNKED!
NEVAH Mo'!
(How the masters would say it.)
Far into the midnight dreary, I have
pondered, weak and weary.
Over many a thick and serious volume
of or learned lore;
And Ivo nodded, often gripping, tilt
Id hear a gentle tapping
Yet for this I failed (such I never did befo e).
That would rouse me from my nap-
ning. napping o'er my school boob. H. DAILY, Artistic job printing

LONGFELLOW
Listen to me and you shall hear
Only E and nothing more. LONGELOW
Of the work of my professor who's very busy.
On the first of February in nineteen seventeen
(H probably a day you all have seen)
He gave me an E as I much fear
difficult.
Oh mark that makes me feel the sting and pain
EMERSON
Or work undone. I know
Declare it never shall be so.
Again, if I can keep my vow.
WALT WHITMAN
There was a student looked from the window every day.
And the first object he saw he became interested in
So that in time when mark day came round, or a certain part of that day,
He got many D's and marks that
were more.

"He's afraid to open his mouth in his wife's presence."
"I wonder where __all the __pins go to?"
"To whom do you owe your dramatic success?"
"That's a difficult question to answer, because they are always 'pointed' in one direction and 'headed' in another."
"My hair brusher; he gave me the best 'part' I ever had."
"I have found the key to success."
"But have you located the keyhole?"
"Well, now, there's some class to that."
"I love you."
He: Another turn in that dance and I would have died.
"I've beard that before."
"I worship you madly.".
"Loose talk."
"I know I love without your love."
"Get new stuff we."
"Will you marry me?"
"Well, now, there's some class to
