The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life and so on; it would no further than merely printing the news by standing up, telling it to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful, to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to learn and to satisfy the students of the University.

"Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good—Penn.
NEXT FRIDAY
The chancellor has said that we SHALL celebrate our victory over Nebraska.
He knows what he's talking about.
He has said further that we need to keep up the spirit if we win from Missouri.
He knows what he's talking about. The University of Kansas will have two hours Friday morning to work off whatever surplus energy is left over from last Saturday, and to prime itself for another load of "get-up-and-go spirit" for the Thanksgiving contest.
The University man or woman who doesn't feel like "hollerin' for all that's out" ought to be back in high school where he can stay home and help mother with the dishes.
The plans are simple. There will be few speakers, but the ones who will speak will be worth listening to. Further, their talks will be short and to the point. The main part of the program for the two hours recess will be just a good old-time burst of "pep."
There will be a parade.
That should be enough to enlist a regiment of over three thousand rooters. Less than that will not wake up this town of Lawrence to the fact that there was a football game last Saturday, and that there will be another one Thanksgiving Day.
Among others, there is the old fashioned professor who wore his rubbers on the hill today.
One person alone cannot raise enough "cain" for a student body of 3200. But spirit is catching. The rally Friday will show whether or not Missouri has a chance.
LIFE OR PLEASURE?
LIFE OR PLEASURE?
Life or Pleasure? That is the question.
It is easy enough to shell out seventy-five cents or a dollar for an evening with "her" and you kept a stiff upper lip when you lost that five on the Nebraska game last year. All that is easy, isn't it?
But now about the call for relief that comes from a starving nation, desperate in a need brought on by forces entirely outside their control? isn't it sad—but true—that you are pinched for weeks if you contribute a dollar to give them a chance to live?
Some one will see you next week and ask for a small contribution. How easy it would be to turn him away and call up the "dady of your choice" or a friend and go to the picture show. Item:—two admissions to picture show—twenty cents; two sundays—twenty cents; total forty cents.
There are 3200 students in the University of Kansas. Just say that every student gave up one treat just once and turned the forty cents over
to the Committee on Armenian Relief. That would give the committee a total of $1280, or enough to keep body and soul together in over ten thousand persons for one day.
Did you ever realize that so little money could do so much good?
And further, wouldn't you have forgotten all about that picture show in less than a week?
You can answer the question yourself.
Down deep in her heart there isn't a single girl in the University but hopes that the case she has in her senior year will be "the one. Equally true is the statement that she doesn't look seriously on the ones she has the first three years.
SENTINELS OF OUR HEALTH The threatened typhoid epidemic is safely past. The first patients are being discharged and no new ones have been reported.
This happy state of affairs is due to the careful nursing at the University hospital and to the efficient work of the Medical Service in tracing the fever to its source and stamping it out.
Several years past a similar though more fatal epidemic swept Lawrence. It is a high tribute to the advance made by the medical department of the University that this time the epidemic was checked so quickly.
Until the new waterworks is built and the sanitary system improved our safety lies in the hands of the Medical Service. They have demonstrated their ability. We can depend on them in the future.
Observation, not preservation, keeps a woman young.
BE YOURSELF
Are you the individual or the type?
So many people look alike, dress alike and act alike. This is especially true of a number of people on the hill. Why not be different from the rest? Be individual, acquire a taste and style different from the others. Make yourself not as one of the many, but as just one. Form your own opinions and ideas, and stand by them. Think, act, and do, as you think best, and not be swayed by the way other people do. In other words, be yourself.
FADS
Faddists are so scaffold at, yet after all they are of more real use in the world than colorless individuals who never seem vitally interested in anything and cultivate a blaze or bored expression over life and people in general. To take an interest in something even if it a fad lends an added interest and zest to life. Then too, some of the biggest achievements in our history were Felicia Coulomb was a most troublesome faddist. Newton and George Eliot and William Rockhill Nelson and scores of others or more less great are in the list which is not dimed in lustre by the fact that each and every name composing it is not written in the Hall of Fame.
Speaking of preparedness: the handbooks issued to the guards at the border contain two pages printed for the last Will and Testament of them.

with the hairpin all that is “doable” can be done. With a hairpin a woman can pick a lock, pull a cork, peel an apple, draw out a nail, beat an egg, see if a joint of meat is done, do up a hair, sharpen a pencil, dig out a sliver, fasten a door, hang up a plate or picture, open a cup, take up a carpet, repair a baby carriage, rake a grate fire, cut a baby, make a fork, a fish hook, an awl, a gimlet, or a chisel, reinforce a window, wrap a late range, turn over a haplock, stir batter, whip cream, reduce the pressure in a gas meter, keep bills and receipts on file, spread butter, cut patterns, tighten windows, clean a watch, reduce a knot, varnish pipes, reduce the asthma of tobacco pipes, pry stuart studs into buttonholes too small for them, shovel bonbons, saw cake, jib, trumpet, proffer artificial flowers, eye and eyes, sew, knit, and darn, button gloves and shoes, put up awnings, and doctor an automobile. In short, she can do what she wants to; she needs no other instrument. — The N. Y. Sun.

ARGUES AGAINST PADDLING To The Kansan;
I have hoped that the advocates of "paddling" would produce some arguments to support the practice, but as none seem to be forthcoming I wish to present some observations against it.
The history of paddling in the University is informing. A few years ago the right to force freshmen to wear the distinctive caps was granted by the Student Council to that element that felt some bit of liberty over the traditional dress and had given up the May Day scrap and other forms of rough sport. At first the abuse was not great, but it has been going from bad to worse each year, until we have recently seen freshmen with their caps on being chased over the pavement, probably know; freshmen on their knees rubbing with stones at class numerals placed there by persons unknown; freshmen lined up after convoction and marched before the University public. There are known cases of freshmen absenting themselves from classes rather than coming in to abuse them. This is surely in a sense that has gone far enough.
The argument that freshmen are conceived and should be taught to know their place will apply to sophomores and many others about as well. One of the finest possessions of a freshman or any other young man is a sense of his own dignity and worth, and no one has a right to violate that sense. If one here and there has too much conceit, the gradual attrition of the classroom and society will prove the best means of reducing it.
That there is some danger of physical injury to the paddled might be argued, but the moral lowering of a swimmer's hand in a good deal of a savage, is assured.
That sophomores and other upper-classmen have any right inherent or acquired to censor the conduct or regulate the dress of freshmen is a more assumption, and a silly one, too. Granted that a distinctive head gear for freshmen has its advantages, yet in an institution as large as this university, the distinctive articles of dress would be useful for sophomores and all others
The paddlers should be consistent and carry out the principle with impartiality. And what about freshmen girls?
The methods of paddlers are cowardly and unsportsmanlike. They give the victim no chance against the force organized against him. If we could once see a single sophomore disciplining a freshman of equal weight and strength we might take a sportman's interest in the spectacle. We should have all men overpowering and each taking his whack at one is a disgusting sight to anybody who has a drop of sporting blood.
Did you ever notice the young fellow who buys Life Insurance and the one who "knows how to take care of his money"?
And will we have to admit the argument that other institutions do work.
