The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, by teaching them more than merely printing the news by standing for the sake of the University, and by being to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be responsible; to be wiser heeds; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
The Kansan wishes its readers a very merry Christmas.
So far as this paper is concerned, the old year is spent. The next time the Kansan talks to its readers, a new cipher will be in the date line.
But for the readers, the best part of the year—that part which makes the months of hurry and worry, ups and downs, triumphs and defeats, worth while—is still to come.
The Yankee farmer stands hours and hours over steaming sap pans, boiling, boiling—all for a little residue of maple sugar. And the delicacy of the product's flavor makes him feel well repaid for his labors. Even so, the joys of Christmas cause us to forget what the year has cost in disappointments.
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year—this sincerely from the Kansan.
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Students attending classes just to keep warm are too often finding their purpose defeated by the professor who backs up against the register and requests the men in the back seats to open the windows and let in a little fresh air.
The men of the University have met and expressed their sentiments as a body, and their deliberations have proved that they can meet and express their opinions without giving the spirit of the "howling mob" or of a bunch of school children.
The results of their action at the time will probably be rewarded as much for the character of the meeting and the orderly manner in which it was conducted as for the action so nearly unanimously taken. There was University spirit in abundance at this meeting, and it was the spirit that if perpetuated, will make the University of Kansas an even greater institution than it is.
So with one success upon which to base our convictions, why not a mass meeting for men, one for women, and one for both men and women at least once each semester? Every day there are matters of students interests which arise upon which student sentiment should be expressed, and many of them are of vital importance. Some matters concern only the men, some only the women, but some concern both men and women.
The spirit of the rally is hardly that of the deliberative body. The school ballot has not proven itself representative of University sentiment. For example—in the Men's Student Council election last spring, 737 votes out of a possible 1639 were cast. But at yesterday's mass meeting, 1500 of the 1729 men now enrolled in the University were present—a much larger proportion than
cotted for president of the Men's Student Council in the spring election. That alone should speak a final word for the mass meeting.
One more parting shot—don't forget to work for the Permanent Income Bill during the holidays. And remember, it is the "Permanent Income Bill" not the "Mill Tax."
IF I WERE A KING!
A long time ago, the story goes, there was a king who was very unhappy. He thought he would give anything to exchange places with his page, who seemed to live such a free and happy life. The little page, on whom he would be more wonderful than to be king of the land. So one day they did exchange places. But they were unhappy than ever before, because they were out of harmony with their environment. There are many people just like this in our minds—always seeking the "other fellow." So dissatisfied are they with their own lot in life that they can live only in expectation of what may come their way. Then at last the chance does come, and happiness is at hand? But as is said, anticipation is greater than fear, and then they were before. Yet it is now too late to turn back. "Failure is oftentimes the swapping of what we have for what we want."
Wanted: A fitting substitute for "sephing," the word applied to various autumn breezes, but which can be used when looking at the present gusts on Mount Oread.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed an evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
A GOOD FELLOW
A GOOD FELLOW Editor the Kansan:
Charity, generosity and unselflessness are admirable traits in any person. At this particular season of the year, everyone should try to do something to help the unfortunate ones, who look upon Christmas time as that part of the year that brings them to cold, hunger and poverty. We, who care for others, want to help that even small offerings, in the way of food, fuel or clothing, given in the proper spirit, brings to the needy poor.
Mrs. J. L. Newhouse, known to the students as the lady who has piloted many of them through the intricate steps of the waltz and Castaway walk at night dancing schools takes a large per cent of the receipts brought in by that profession and buys candy, fruit and toys for eighteen youngsters every Christmas as well as supplying clothing. Mrs. Newhouse considers it a blessing to be able to make this money and as she now has no children of her own, she willingly spends fifty per cent of her yearly earnings makes him think is the essence of benevolence. "Give Credit Where Credit is Due."
Oscar S. Major, 17.
CHARACTER AND REPUTATION
There is a difference between character and reputation. Character is what a man is; reputation is what he is thought to be. Men of good character are generally men of good reputation, and are often clowning the case as the motives and actions of some or all of men are sometimes misunderstood and misrepresented. But it is important above everything else that we be right and do right, whether our motives and actions are properly under control, and whether we can be so important to any man as the formation and possession of a good character—Edmund Burke.

Washburn College museum has had a fine collection of birds added to its natural history department. Mrs. B. B.

Yale will have ten "Y" men back next year who should form a good nucleus for the 1917 football team.
Women at the University of Illinois have a new sport. A bowling alley has been opened in the basement of the Y. W. C. A. and the sport will be carried on under the instruction of a special teacher. A tournament is being planned for the first of next semester.
Add to this the fact that several men have been busy all summer rolling the gridiron, raking it for small bends. I was able to keep and keeping it in first class condition.
Manager Lovett added that if football players drew the salaries of diamond stars there would be no football.
"Football is more expensive than a private yacht or a polo string," says Manager Lovett of the Penn eleventh. He has figured out that it costs approximately $52.55 per player before the kickoff in the opening game of the season. Seven hundred pairs of shoes and kickbacks of the most expensive footballs, skis, and several hundred footballs and required to equin a team.
It seems peculiar to have to remind University students that they should attend lectures. Men who have entered a University are presumed to be able to look after themselves and to take full advantage of the opportunities which attendance at a college provides, but not to conceive idea of what prompts a man to enter any institution of learning is that he desires to secure an education, a training which will enable him to take his place in the world of men when he graduates. The trouble is that this idea is not always followed out, but is often laid aside in order that the idea "may be had, and lectures interfere so much with a sleep in the morning, or a show in the afternoon.
How many men fail every session because they stay away from lectures? How many important points are missed by the student who fails to attend lecture or whose students lay the foundations for habits which will follow them into after life and be the cause of their non-success in their chosen sphere of activity? Even if one does not take a note at a lecture, he learns and fails to remember it, and while he may not remember all that is said, he will carry away with him at least some of the more striking points brought out by the lecturer. After all is said and done we can purchase copies of notes taken by the lecturer and have been at the lecture to hear the explanation of the notes we understand the principles. Attendance is the thing. The average student who goes to every lecture and pays attention practically any, outside work, although we hasten to assure you that we are not recommending such a
Certainly we admit that some lectures are dull and dry and uninteresting. We know that some professors make an entertaining subject dull, and others make a dry one interesting. We know nothing at all of their lectures, but read in a monotonic tone notes that are begrimed with the dust of ages, having been written years before. Nevertheless all that does not give you the privilege to "cut" a lectures or a course of lectures. It is, to use a much abused expression, "the principle of the thing" which we object to.
course of action. The Dean of any Faculty will tell you that the blank spaces after a student's name on the exam board are filled with information when his average is rather shallow.
If it be true, as some poets think, that every spot on earth is full of poetry, then it is certainly also true that each place has its own distinctive measure, an indigenous meter, so to speak, in which its poetry will be truly set and sung. . . . There are woods that are like stately sonnets and those of wonder with worth best held in broad lyrics but whose are jocund songs and mountains which are odes—Helen Hunt Jackson.
