U. 35 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture graduate life of the University of Kansas, for that reason merely prints the news on paper; universities value varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more scraps; to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1917 “R-r-r-r-e-e-e-e-vench is ours!” A grateful thought towards heaven is of itself a prayer—Lessing. EAT 'EM UP Again the Tiger's hide is stretchea on the tanning board and the first nails have been put into it. Tonight the job will be finished, and the bitter taste left over from Thanksgiving time will be gone. The game last night was a battle from start to finish. Neither side can accuse the other of being wall-eyed lucky. The team won that fought the hardest the whole game through. If there was ever a display or fighting to the last ditch it was seen last night in Robinson Gymnasium. Both teams played hard and fast basketball. Many said a faster game had never been played on the local floor. Whether or not the victory is complete will be determined in the game tonight, and that game will be fully as hard fought as the game last night. It will be a battle from the opening whistle to the last gun. And K. U. will round out the victory by a more decisive score than last night. If the "Beat Missouri" spirit is still as rampant in old K. U. as it was in the old days—and last fall, Robinson Gymnasium won't hold half the crowd that comes up to see the game tonight. Usually when we have guests we clean up our front yards at least. We seem to be in no position, however to convince the powers behind the Lawrence Street Cars of the advisability of washing their car windows when so many merchants from out over the state ride up the hill to their lectures every morning. THE QUESTION Does the University of Kansas want Military Training? That is the question that confronts not only our school, but the colleges and universities in all parts of the country. Many of the bigger schools where military training has not been enforced heretofore have asked for regular courses in military tactics and field training. Are the advantages of military training bigger than the probabilities of the inculcation of the black spirit of militarism into the life of American education, or is there no real danger on this score? Some say the problem differs in various parts of the country. Is the man from the east enough of a type so that military training does not materially alter his spirit? Is it the truth that the western youth is of more plastic nature, his spirit being absolutely moulded by the kind of training he receives in his college years? All these are problems which must be answered by this nation in the present crisis, and college men must take the lead. There are other questions, probably of more vital significance, but these must be answered. Are the students of the University prepared—or preparing to answer them? The following item from the Depawu Daily illustrates what a brilliant imagination can do when hard-up for news; Kansas students have no excuse for being late to classes. The University has installed a jitney service at its own expense, and a decrease of fifty per-cent in tardiness has already been noted. JUST FELLOWS AGAIN Good afternoon, Mr. Merchant! We're glad to see you. There are some new faces among you, and to those of you who are tardy we give a hearty hand-shake. We're sorry you have missed so many of the good lectures and so much of the good times. Let's sit down and have a little chat. Fine weather we're having, isn't it? We couldn't ask for much nicer for this time of year. Of course you like the program of speeches and the round tables and the special entertainments, but what do you think of the school in general the students and the profs? Of course you've met a bunch of them. They're pretty good fellows, aren't they, and they don't seem so much like kids as they used to around home. Have you visited any of our classes yet? No. Well, you surely don't want to miss a treat like that before you go home. Practically every one of our courses are interesting. Yes sir! modern education isn't dry as a bone. Just come into this American Government class, or this class in Shakespeare, or in Public Speaking, or Water Analysis, or Mechanics, or Newspaper Writing, or Contracts, or Equity Jurisdiction, or most any old class whose door you find nearest the place where you happen to be standing. You will be welcome, and you will get a different idea about education. Just make yourselves at home. Feel perfectly informal around here, and be just one of us—all students, for the week, at least. Spring is surely here. The F. A. students are out with their boards sketching the campus. FEBRUARY 7 This is the birthday of Charlea Dickens. How many have even remembered this today? We have laughed, cried, felt horror stricken or indignant with Mr. Pickwick, Little Nell, Bill Sykes or Madam Lefarge. The more mention of the fact that today is his birthday brings back the memories of hours spent sympathising with little David Copperfield, laughing with a tear in the corner of our eyes at the devotion of Samuel Weller to Mr. Pickwick, and delighting in the beautiful writing in the "Christmas Carols." Just why the Jayhawker force should hold forth in the Museum is beyond us. Certainly not for atmosphere. Could it be they are seeking animation or maybe advice from Hank Maloy's famous string of stuffed owls. What a debt the world owes Charles Dickens for the pleasure and inspiration that his works have given it. "For Armenian Relief," reads a placard announcing a dance but who believes in signs? Also who is the Armenian? There usually is considerable local color toe, in the conglomeration of "fork holds" which students bring here with them. Why not a prize essay contest on the subject, "The fork as an instrument of torture?" The Frosh who returns from home with a new suit usually brings back a plentiful touch of local color. And while speaking of well ventilated structures what about the Lawrence street cars? A Daily Letter Home—The Daily Kansas. JES' FILLER NEVAH Mo'! Infation of the Crust Was his Disease. He came from Jugtown. Spreading salve Was a passion With him. Yes, he was the Malaika. Lots of coin too. O it was pitiful The way he ran Himself down. One day a Wop from up-state Blew in. It seemed that Our owed Him more kale. And in the fractas We heard that This wonder of Wonders was Everything from A rough-neck to a criminal. He did not wear Embarrassing but He can't 'blown' Himself up No more. We college people know all about the reality of war. We've seen a lot of it. Some men use their heads merely— so when they sneeze or cough; they just push them down. A chocolate-colored skunk has been received at the Museum. Wonder who stood in the receiving line. Won't jar their collars off. Ah now the little festive skunk; He cometh from his lair! A. K. u. young lady has refused an offer from the Boston English Opera Company. One can't be too careful, when one is choosing a profession? So s when they squeeze or cough The violence of the shake-up He caperched round And up and down Upon the public square. He capereth round And when his time of play is up, As blithely as can be. And laughs right merrily! He trippeth back CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed *in* evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent. A MAN OF LETTERS A LITTLE THING Editor, Daily Kansan; "You might use some of the fancy names," Josh, brought home from college," says Erica. Just when is the athletic management of the University going to show the student body a little consideration for their time and place at the sport calendar reveals that again this year the high school basketball tournament and the indoor meet with Missouri at Kansas City come on the same week-end, and the student body is going to find itself struggling on the fence between two fires. "Well, I am new a C. P. A.," announced the sophomore, on discovering his grade in the final of the accounting course to be an average. It is not right. Every loyal Jayhawker who can possibly afford it wants to be down in Convention Hall backing the track squad, and yet he is to be handicapped because the high school team from his home town is in Lawrence, under his care or staying at the house of an organization that offers a host, is contributing financially toward the success of the tournament by furnishing lodging and eatables for the high school lads, and yet his thanks from the athletic department amounts to the latter scheduling the track meet on the same week-end so that he either must deny himself the privilege of seeing his own alma mater battle the ancient foe at Kanada, or else provide him with pies off, leaving the high school guests to shift for themselves. If the athletic management did not depend on the students to take care of the teams but instead paid all the expenses itself; if both events were not of such vital interest to the students; and finally, if the success of the meet in Kansas City did not depend to such a large extent upon the support of the team, neither might not be so deplorable. But, as it is, the writer cannot understand the object of the athletic management in so handicapping the students. Surely the persons who make athletics possible here should be given more consideration when the dates are arranged. "Loyal." "I can't find any clothes to put on the crenесws," said Farmer cornasset.
