The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of their students further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

VACCINATION AGAIN
VACCINATION AGAIN No sooner does the typhoid scarse leave us than the smallpox scare steals into camp, and two things happen. We are reminded of the three fatal cases of typhoid in the University this fall and warned to take the vaccination against smallpox in time to forestall a serious epidemic.
According to Dr. S. J. Crumble, dean of the School of Medicine and President of the Kansas State Board of Health, both typhoid and smallpox are optional diseases which can be warded off by vaccination. This vaccination is being given free at the University hospital.
A mere notice of this ought to be warning enough for any student who bears any respect for himself, his family and his University. Although statistics show that the percentage of deaths from smallpox is much smaller than that from typhoid, the disease is none the less dreaded.
Should the typhoid scare develop into an epidemic it is safe to assume that the enrollment of the University next year will drop nearly twenty-five per cent, for parents have no love for sending their children to a school that loses five or six of its students every year from some epidemic.
Counting tonight there are only fourteen more possible nights to study for the semester examinations. Let's all come in strong on the home stretch.
The students themselves must prevent these epidemics by taking advantages of the service offered them free by the University medical department, and by demanding the best in public health service and inspection from the city of Lawrence.
ATHLETICS
INTRAMURAL VS. "BLEACHER"
ATHLETICS
There are too many men in our universities who look upon themselves as divinely appointed to criticize our athletic teams. The students are in the minority who have nothing but praise for the men who work long hours and go through strenuous training to represent us on the athletic field.
In practically every case the man criticizing the teams is the one who has never participated in sport himself, or else one who has tasted only enough of it to give him a highly inflated idea of his own worth. Our great majority of the "Bleacher" type of athletes is a deplorable state of afairs.
The one thing that seems to be the remedy for this condition is intramural athletics.
Much just criticism has been expressed concerning college athletics because of a tendency to develop only the expert, and to give the mediocre athlete no chance. To take the place of this lack of work on athletic teams
the gymnasium has been provided, and every student is required to take two years of gym training. But athletics as they should be in our college today are more than mere exercise. They are exercise plus the development of mental and spiritual vigor, and it should be the aim of every modern college to give its students development in the lines of sports as well as in those of history, economics or languages.
Our gymnasiums are doing their best within certain bounds to develop intramural athletics, but they cannot develop the spirit that would come with a sentiment arising from more contests between classes, schools, and fraternities.
It is needless to mention the benefit of an extensive system of intramural athletics as far as the development of the Varsity athletic teams is concerned. The extent to which they would be strengthened can hardly be estimated. The real benefit to be derived is a bigger, better and cleaner spirit in athletic contests, and better appreciation of the fame from the bleachers.
We would suggest that the manager of the "Chimes of Normandy" call in their posters with a picture of a woman dancer. Women's clubs, ministers and the police force will be asking for comps.
THE ROOT OF THE EVIL
The old year ended with the fight for prohibition in full swing. Seven hundred student delegates, representing twenty-five states, from Maine to California and Minnesota to Georgia, attended the four day session of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association which held its biennial national convention and oratorical contest at Lexington, Ky., December 28-31.
"Lay the Axe to the Root of the Evil," by Joshua B. Lee of the University of Oklahoma, was the winning oration.
The meetings showed that students have grasped the significance of what nation wide prohibition will mean, for example, to our laws regulating liquor traffic. Nebraska makes the same punishment apply to the man who buys liquor as well as the man who sells it. Ohio has forbidden the shipment of liquor
Such measures lift a state head and shoulders above a neighboring state which is still titering on the wrong side of the staircase. You lose its prestige if it attempts to do right. It is almost like the small boy who shamafeceded picks up the old lady's bundles. The other boys are watching from the shelter of a fence with a view of the small boys picked up the parcels, there would be no laughing.
Five thousand students are to be trained and sent into the field to cooperate with other temperance organizations in the fight for national prohibition. That's the ax that must be handed to each student. And back these convictions these student delegates donated $10,000 to carry on the fight. It's worth it!
Jayhawk Squawks
Our exchanges reveal that the Kansan is the only College paper in the United States that didn't spring some gag about "still writing it 1916."
Let's see—this was the month we were going to save a few dollars out of our allowance.
And just as we were making up
a lesson, we had to do enough to so we had
to kick in for
Oh-h h-h hum! Excuse us, please;
it's only the weather.
"Gather up the loose ends," says a college exchange in advising its readers to prepare for exams. Which reminds us that we are in much the same position of the old Kentucky lady who, when asked for some corn pone, said, "Gracious, that's the only thing I aint got nothin' else but."

POET'S CORNER
By grandeur guarded in thy loveli-
ness.
Ne'er may the poet with unwelcome feet
Press thy soft moss embathed in
Cowery dies
FROM "LOUGHRIG TARN"
And shadowed in thy stillness like the heavens.
O gentlest lake! from all unhallowed things
May innocence forever lead me here
To form amid the allure high re-
sistance
For future life; resolves that, born in peace.
Shall live 'mid tumult, and though
haply mild
As infants in their play, when brought to bear
On the world's business, shall assert their power
And majesty—and lead me boldly
(Toys)
Like giants conquering in a noble cause. —John Wilson,
HERITAGE
No matter where my lot is cast,
I am the heir in equity
No matter where my birth may be,
I am the heir in equity
I am the heir in equity
Of all the precious Past. .
The beauty of the living earth,
The beauty of the living earth
The power of the golden sun,
The Present, whatsoe'er my birth,
I share with every one.
To save or throw away.
—Abbie Farwell Brown
As much as any man an,
The owner of the working day;
Mine are the minutes as they fly
As much as any man am I
THE SIDE-LINE'S MUCKER
There is a certain type of a sport—not sportsman who invariably makes his presence known at a basketball game by questioning the decisions of the umpire. He may have never played basketball—the chances are that he has never really learned the distinction between a dribble and the kick. Yet he always knows how the game should be played; he could give authoritative advice to every one of the officials and players on the floor.
There is nothing more disgusting to players, coaches, and spectators than a game which is constantly marred by holding and roughing. There is nothing more unfair and unsportmanial. Basketball is another game where other demands fair play, under conditions which present opportunities for foul tactics. When a team by clever passing and swift dodging has worked the ball within striking distance of the basket, a guard can call in and score by some bit of almost unnoticeable holding. If such a thing is allowed to pass, it destroys whatever advantage a well-coached team possesses. It nullifies teamwork, speed, and clever dodging. It places the advantage with crude beef and chicken over the game. In these conditions degenerates into a free-for-all prize fight.
We take off our hats to the referee who has the self-respect and the courage to call the fouls as he sees them. Would there were more like him! Most referees will call a few fouls if they play well, but if teams continue in this sort of work, they call it a draw and let the so-called game go on. Others will try to equalize the penalties; that is, call about the same number of fouls against each team. It takes four referees to pass the team the limit, even giving the game to their opponents if necessary.—Minnesota Daily.
