The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at Kansan; to go further than merely printing the news on a paper; to versify holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be dangerous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all to serve to the University.

MOVING ONWARD
After all, there is a tendency to move forward.
The new system of enrolling given its final test yesterday greatly facilitated a job that has been a white elephant for both students and faculty twice each year.
In place of the mob that usually blocks the entrance to Robinson gymnasium from six o'clock in the morning until the doors open at eight, two or three hundred came a few minutes before the time to enroll, and these were let in in the order of the numbers they held.
There was no tiresome waiting; no nervous excitement over who was going to be first; no fear that a single move would put one an hour later in the line; no restless waiting for the bunch ahead to go down; no jams at the enrollment tables below—and yet the job was done as quickly as ever before, and just as many people got the courses they wanted to take.
The most generally despised person yesterday was the "inucky dog" who drew any number below twenty.
OUR HOSPITALITY
In former times the University has been praised in all parts of the state for its hospitality. Merchants, editors and others have gone home and made it known that the folks "Up at K. U. are of the right sort," and that spirit has had no small influence in increasing our enrollment so greatly in the past few years.
K. U. is going to have another chance to show just how hospitable she can be when the merchants climb Mount Oread next week. Last year five hundred came, and practically all of them stayed the week out. Housing five hundred extra persons in the student district is no small task, and the students who shared their beds and the fraternities that opened their houses to the visiting merchants did a favor not only to the merchants but to the University.
A sounding of the sentiment out over the state seems to indicate that the merchants' short course will have even a larger enrollment this year than last, and K. U. hospitality will be put to even a sterner test.
But K. U. hospitality will respond and our best or our worst advertising will go out over the state again. Just how favorably our merchant friends will advertise us will depend upon how hospitally we entertain them.
If you cannot help accommodate those merchants from home you can at least show them courtesies that folks away from home appreciate. Answer questions with a smile. Volunteer little services and be sociable. These are the little touches that make the more substantial hospitality worth while.
Daily Riddle—What is it that a man eats for breakfast, wears on his head, and uses to shine his shoes? Good one, isn't it? Answer tomorrow.
We're again meeting up with that old familiar person who has sworn off fussing for the rest of the semester.
This isn't a new one, but the question now asked most generally over the hill is "Who are the 'Annual Girls' who are giving a prom February 10?"
Professor (at enrollment table) :- "Did you take thermodynamics?"
Ignorant Stude;——"Why—er—no sir; is it missing?"
A LETTER TO FRESHMEN Dear 1920:
This letter is the outgrowth of many conversations I have had with upperclass students here and in other colleges. I remember also a few experiences of my own and of my friends. I have heard juniors and seniors who have been working their vay wholly or in part make confession to this effect: "I know I am not doing justice to my studies; I feel hurried and driven and haven't time to think things over. My classmates are so much better so that I should like to spend many hours doing extra reading for them; yet I am lucky if I can keep up with the required assignments. BUT—I must finish this year (or next), and begin to earn grades now and then, that some student of this type is not getting enough sleep.
This brings me to my text, which is: the first duty of a college student is an enlightened selfishness. So far as the aim is humanly compassable, nothing in the world should interfere with his getting the most and the best from his college course. For every student this purpose, like any worthy purpose will demand some sacrifices. What sacrifice does it demand of the one who is earning his way? He can answer that question best possible by making the best body that, though resolution and good planning will do much, neither they nor his self-dependence will create for him thirty hours in the day, nor a double measure of physical endurance nor exemption from eyestrain. He must, like anyone else work with what capital he has.
In view of these conditions, I come more and more to believe that the student who must work his way and who yet wishes to make the most of himself will do wisely if he offsets his special handicaps by taking five years to the college course. This arrangement will not make nearly so good a story in after day as in comedy, when waiting on table, jobs and miscellaneous college activities; but possibly all his other stories will be the better worth listening to. The best time to take the choice is in the freshman year. Get yourself and your family used to the notion. Have things arranged beforehand so that you cannot slam-bang through the senior year, without time to think of anything else besides grades, plums and cakes, and you are trying to acquire. When you are nearly through college, though the value of a more leisurely progress will be tenfold clear to you, it will be extremely difficult to retard your pace—unless you break down.
Objections rise in chorus—some of them very honorable objections. Parents will need your financial help. Brothers and sisters are waiting their turn for education. You fear that you will be older than is desirable when you graduate and still need considerations. But in most cases none of them is worth weighing against your duty to yourself in the matter of your college course, probably the only college course you will ever have. For the choice you make will influence in a high degree your habits of thought and study. You will have a natural endowment) the habits of thought and study formed in college will largely determine whether in what we call "active life" you are to be a Thinker and a cultivated person, or merely a Hustler. America is plentiful furnished with hustlers. We need more who have some vision of what we are hustling about, what are our hobbies, and any anything can be done for the human lives caught and mangled in the machinery of our hustling. The great object of the college curriculum is to develop what native capacity you have for insight. Insight can be developed through "beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet but not being whirled in a vortex of outside engagements, late papers, "bluifs" in recitations, and half-slurred tasks.
Of course people—professional educators, some of them—will tell you that in the process of jamming through the four-years' course, together with three or four hours a day of non-academic work, you are acquiring "efficiency" and "character." The advisers forget that among the sterling elements of character, and even among the factors of efficiency, we should reckon disciplined intellectual initiative; the habit
of thoroughness, of patient, disinterested endeavor to get to the heart of one's problems; yes, and intellectual buoyancy and freshness. Such habits of mind are not fostered by the haste and anxiety to which overcrowded students are liable. He emphasizes anxiety and anxiety rather as superficial judgment; pretense; looses, inaccuracy and random thinking—all most serious faults of character. On the other hand, if you spend five years in college, demanding the best that the college can give you, and if you come out a man or woman of culture and insight, impatient, hearsy, nervous for thoroughness, passion for thoroughity you will not thereby impair your ability to hustle, nor your worshipping "efficiency."
I am yours with best wishes,
Josephine M. Burnham.
