The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from University of Kansas; to hold university holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be calm; to be careful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1917
True courage and courtesy always go
most foregoing, and the short anxious
thoughts that have been expressed
A 1:20 WHISTLE
Instructors of 1:30 classes are annoyed daily by the arrival of belated students who lingered too long over the custard at luncheon, consequently arriving on the campus just as the whistle was blowing—and that classroom in "Ad" or Snow Hall so far far away.
Every day the same thing happens. Anyone who cares to take the trouble of looking can see upwards of thirty belated students hurrying to class every afternoon after the 1:30 whistle has sounded.
The cause? The lack of a warning signal such as is given every morning at 8:20 before 8:30 classes. A similar blast at 1:20 would remind all students that it is time to be wandering back up the Hill for that 1:30 class.
K. U. SPIRIT TRANSPLANTED
K. U. has a good start towards a cafeteria—there are five Cooks and one Kitchen enrolled.
This is the true Kansas spirit. The Chicago grads have it and keep it aglow by an effective organization known as the "University of Kansas Alumni Association of Kansas."
Those old grads in Chicago are setting an example of fellowship and sociability that might well be copied by K. U. alumni throughout the country. Although living half way across the continent from Mt. Oread, active in business, submerged in the third largest city in the United States, still these old boys find time to hunt each other up, gather at dinners and shake hands around in honor of the days in the old Jayhawker school.
The association is already planning annual reunions, dinners, with "Rock Chalks" and all the enthusiasm of the old days.
We undergraduates at the Alma Mater take off our hats to you, loyal alumni who are transplanting the true Kansas Spirit in a foreign state!
Reports fall to reveal why two young women at the University of California, who lived for three months on peanuts alone, at a cost of fifteen cents a day, failed to persist in their diet. No matter how you try to pull that one you can't get away from the squirrel idea.
"PROFESSOR" TAFT
We venture the opinion that "Professor" Taft intellectually is a bigger man today than he was four years ago when president of the United States. After a man has resided a few years in the White House it is expected that he will be content to remain more or less inactive during the balance of his life. With one or two exceptions, this has been the rule. But Taft is showing that although being president of the United States may be the political climax of a life,
it need not terminate conquest in the field of thought and statemanship
Why doesn't somebody invest a variety of New Year's resolutions, warranted not to break? He would surely learn from his invention, at least, theoretically.
DOCTOR ELDERKIN GOES
K. U. students will lose a much-respected friend when the Rev. Dr. Noble Strong Elderkin, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, leaves to take a larger charge in Chicago. Doctor Elderkin is a splendid example of the new and growing class of ministers who are breaking away from the old ecclesiastical dialect (which for so long has made sermons more or less unintelligible to the average layman), substituting in its place the straight-from-the-shoulder talk of every-day life. This has added greatly to his popularity here, and his comments on current and University topics not infrequently have competed successfully with football, track, and baseball for the center of interest in college table conversations. Doctor Elderkin has shown himself a broad thinker and a staunch ally of the college student. He will be missed on the Hill.
Eighteen young women are enrolled in the wood work classes at the Kansas State Agricultural College and from now on it will be unfair to doubt woman's ability to drive nails or wield a hammer.
WHAT COLLEGE OFFERS
"To be at home in all lands and at all ages; to count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the future; to teach children a criticism of your own; to carry the keys to the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among men of your own age who are to be trained in business; to yourself in generous enthusiasm and co-operate with others for common ends; to learn manhood from students who are gentlemen and form character under professors who are Christians. This is the offer of the Lord, who lives his life" says William De Witt Hyde, president of Bowdoin college (the school from which Longfellow was graduated).

WAISTED
He (returning from the punch)
shall cell sit, sit out?
Mary had a little waist,
Twas puzzling to her beau.
For everywhere the fashion went,
Her waist was sure to go.
Sometimes it came on her arms
Somewhere below her knee,
Sometimes she had no waist at all,
So far as he could see.

RANDOM RAVINGS
I stole a kiss the other night;
My conscience told me to go tonight.
I threw the darn thing back
He smashed his auto thirty times, And so I wonder why
They still persist in saying that He is a wreckless guy.
"What does your husband do?"
"He's in settlement work."
"Oh, is it that nice?"
"Oh, he works for a collection agency."
"Gargoyle."

POET'S CORNER
Joe William he came home last week
Ter stay for his vacation;
You'd ort ter seed the town folks stare
When he stepped out the station.
He walked with that air college swing.
His hair was combed straight back—
Looked bout like a rooster tail
A little out or whak.
THE K. U. MAN
His pants was rolled nigh to his knee
An when he sot, I swear
He pulled *em* up so doggone high
Most showed him underwear;
And then sich socks as he had on!
You'd orter seed us blink;
Looked like Mirandy's calico
Where Tommy spattered ink.
Hank Simmons says old Willum is
As crazy as can be;
An why he'd raise a boy up so
He simply couldn't see.
An some here be what think Hiko
HiK!
But hower that may stan
Wir all of us right proud of Joe
Cause he's a K. U. man.
—Thomas C. Dexter.
CAMPUS OPINION
WE WANT K. C. ORCHESTRA Editor, the Kansan;
Communication must be stained **e**idence of good faith but names will not be published in good faith.
We have an open date in the University Concert Course this year. The ticket for this number in the coupon machine will be $125. Later." We wonder what it will be.
The Kansas City Symphony Orchestra is so near home that we do not recognize its real merits. In thinking of symphonies we immediately call to mind the London, Boston, and Minnesota orchestras. Preference is always given to some Eastern or foreign musical organization. But the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, with its sixty-four picked musicians, is rapidly winning a place for itself in the musical world. It is one of the most prominent direction of Carl Busch has made wonderful progress in the study of the heavier classical productions. The result is being demonstrated every Sunday afternoon in Convention Hall in a series of "Pop" concerts.
The first of these, in the Shubert Theater last year, was poorly attended. But the attendance increased until this year Convention Hall was engaged to accommodate the big audiences.
Now why cannot those in charge of the University Concert Course engage the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra to fill this open date in Lawrence? It is highly probable that the members of the orchestra would be pleased to play before and play before a strange audience. The short distance and transportation facilities between Kansas City and Lawrence would lessen the cost of securing the orchestra. And in this way K. U. could help support a most laudable enterprise in the Middle West. We would have an opportunity to become acquainted with Carl Busch, a composer of national reputation.
The Kansas City Symphony Orchestra is largely responsible for Kansas City's growing prestige as a musical center, and Carl Busch is responsible for the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra. U. T., 18.
Winter weather diminishes greatly the time spent in the open air by those who ride in automobiles It comes near putting bicycles out of their way on beaches to capture there is almost entire caestation of water outlines.
WINTER WALKING
All of which means that more walking instead of less ought to be done in cold weather. There is no other way of moving about in the open air which keeps a healthy human being's feet so warm and brings them together without bodily itself. If the pedestrian is properly clad, especially in respect to keeping dryshod, all of the effects of winter walking should be beneficial.
Rightsly timed and kept within bounds, winter walking is a good precaution against the ill effects of acclimation. The indoor air—Cleveland Leader,
With a little care and discretion such exercise can be made as agreeable as it is wholesome. Usually there no need to wear shorts; rather it is either to slow for comfort nor too high for vigorous exercise without weariness or lassitude.
Everyone has heard authentic stories of the man who asked another, "Who is that old frump over yonder?" and received the reply, "She is my wife." But the story doesn't go far enough.
CLIMBING OUT OF A HOLE
Jones observed an old lady sitting across the room.
"For heaven's sake!!" he remarked to Robinson, "exorcise extraordinarily men there?"
"That," answered Robinson, "is my wife."
Jones was taken aback, but moved up front again. "Well," he said, persuasively, "you ought to see mine!" Evening Post.
