The Daily Kamen anima to picture the Kamen in a human form. The Kamen is to go forward than merely printing the needs by standing for them; faces; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be problem-solver; to be patient; to be water bearer; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the Kamen.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1914.
Suggestion to those giving dances in the gym: a little wax does wonders to a floor.
The nearest approach to a Christmas tree that the European nations will have will evidently be that hardly hardy known as the ambush.
Yes, there is still a little water in the Kaw. A reporter went down to investigate and found a feeble streamlet trickling under the dam.
Question for the class in editori-
problems: What legal redress have you if the make-up man cuts off the first half of your joke?
LISTEN, COUNTY CLUBS
The Student Council, in pushing the mill tax campaign is doing one of the things for which it was formed, namely, "to conduct campaigns for the support of the University." But the efforts of the Council will avail little unless they are supported by every student in the University.
Come out tonight. The legislature meets soon, and time is valuable.
Tonight the central organization will be perfected. All club officers who want to carry on their work in a systemized orderly manner should attend. The federation officers will be able to devote more time to the campaign than could individuals, and their efforts will save much duplication of work. Under their directions the efforts of the individual clubs can be made more productive.
WALKING
How would you like to belong to a walkin' club? Besides the benefits derived from the fresh air of these great old autumn days, you get a chance to talk to that professor of yours outside the class-room, or that girl you've been wanting to meet ever since you saw her at the library your first night up here.
Several years ago such a club existed, and teachers and students found it a fine mixer. You meet folks on a different basis than is possible in a crowded reception room or at a pink tea. You find out that teachers have lots more pep than you ever imagined, and maybe the professors find out that a fellow who knows very little about punctuation and history, can tell you heaps about the woods and outdoor life.
HOW LONG, O LORD?
Still once more again we are in the plight of the Ancient Mariner, only more so, for half the time we haven't even a drop to wash in, let alone drink. Of course the weather is partly to blame, for it hasn't rained since he was a pup, and even the river is getting discouraged. It would almost seem, though, that after all the agitation on the subject of L. C. W., and the ensuing spasms of energy on the part of the municipality, and all the beautiful beginnings that have been made, it
THE PRAIRIE SCHOONER
Slow was the weary toilsome way
Where creaked the heavy wain—
Quaint follower of the speeding day
Across the plain.
White canvas covers, bulging, fair,
Enclosed fond hearts athrob with
The builders of an empire there Found safe conyx
Along its course child-voices sweet
Marked the all strangeness of each
While parents sought new homes to greet
With vision keen.
With Vision Rescue
No luxury or ease was there
To lap the traveler into rest
But stopcraft it has the vision
To lap the traveler into rest,
But staunch it bore the pioneer
On toward the West.
Deserted now, its ragged tails are furled—the port has long been
won,
Sport of the boisterous, hurrying
gales.
Through cloud and sun.
(Charles M. Haven, Harrow)
Through cloud and sun.
—Charles Moreau Harger.
ought not to be possible for such a situation to recur.
Why is it, we ask to know, that a town of this size and age and supposedly advanced stage of civilization, cannot have a half-way adequate water system? Why must we be subject to periodic states of drought? Won't some philanthropist endow an industrial fellowship for the purpose of working out a solution of the problem? This very minute several engineering students are working up a thesis on the subject of a water system for the University. A highly useful stunt—if there were any water available
The whole situation reminds us of a scene from a mellerdrummer we saw here last winter, where the heroine comes staggering in and exclaims hoarsely, 'I haven't tasted worter for foah days—fo' Gawd's sake give muk worter!"
Browsing Around Spooner
"It is a fight between England and Germany to the bitter end, to the last German, if need be." These words came from Privy Councillor Witting, president of the National Bank of Germany in an interview with the New York Sun's Berlin correspondent.
"It is a war of annihilation between these two countries and nations," continued the German business man as he expressed the hatred existing between Germany and India and between India and China so let it be. We want no quarter from England; we shall give none. We shall never ask England for mercy, and shall extend no mercy to her. England, and England alone, has brought on this criminal war out of many, and now it is death, destruction, and annihilation for one or the other of the two nations. Tell your American people that, and say that these words do not come from a fanatic, but from a quiet business man who knows the feeling of his own country as it is at this titanic struggle brought on by that criminal nation."
MUTILATED MAGAZINES
The ever-changing personnel of the University student body with the new freshman class each year makes it necessary for certain worn subjects to be brought to the attention of the students time after time.
There is one matter, however, which The Reveille has tried to impress upon its student readers since its existence began, and which has, up to this time, been fruitlessly impressed. It should be—but is not—uncessary to remind the students again that magazines and books in the library are to be read, not to be torn; that they belong to the University, and are paid for by the University; that they afford all the students; that when one student mutilates a book, cuts out interesting and choice paragraphs, that fellow is robbing his fellows and robbing the University.
Heads and not pockets are made to carry knowledge gained from reading. If the proper medium be lacking in the head, use a note-book or notebook; if the books whole for some one else to profit by.-Louisiana Revelie.
Owing to the duplication by State Superintendent Ross and the rush of work at the state printing plant the Bureau will put out a book put out by the School of Education will not be published this year. Superintendent Ross has published a directory which is similar to the one found in the book Dean of the School of Education.
Y. W. Christmas cards with the pictures of Green Hall and the Museum on them went on sale at the check stand in Fraser yesterday. The cards on sale in all the buildings on the campus on Thursday and Friday.
A bulletin will be prepared on this subject by Dean Olin sometime next spring and will contain information that is not covered by the directory.
Is the University of Kansas becoming a young woman's seminary? Or is it merely the girl's fault that the boys engross her time too much? Why not just give them another preparatory to writing a theme or passage a quiz, when, in her journey up the Hill, John, or Charles, or George will overtake her—and away go all her thru thoughts. Yet I don't believe she would sire to blame them for her failure.
"I'll cut 'gym' today," she says, "and translate my German for next hour." At the library up comes Bill, who, because he has studied as much French as he can, plays around" with Jane. Jane forgets that she is to translate German, and strolls leisurely down to "Brick's" with the "Man of the House." She recitation, "because the girls made me go to Y. W. C. a. yesterday."
"I'll have to write only a short note this time, dear Folks," she scribbles, "because I must study all this afternoon." When an invitation to go hunting comes along, away go books, letter-writing, and everything else. She needs fresh air so badly!
It is surely a pity that the girls keep the boys from studying, now isn't it? And it's not it too bad that these horrid men will ask for dates when we girls ought to study? Uhn?

EXTENSION DIVISION ADDS MOVIE FILM EXCHANGE
-C. C. W.
The nature of the exhibits is educational, industrial, and historical. Among the slides are the following: geology, Caesar's Helvieten Campaign, botany, history of chemistry, William Tell, Our Kansas, Bird Poppels, The University of Kansas, Pompei, Insect Pests of Kansas, The Panama Canal City Planning in Kansas City, Mo., and Views of the University of Kansas.
The University extension division is in charge of an unique service to the state secondary schools. It maintains a motion picture and language programs for films and slides," said R. F. Hamilton, director of the division, "is increasing every day. The exchange has been running only two months. It gives the teachers opportunity to interact with their school's work."
Kansas
Every film and set of slides is out on the road now. They are routed from one town to another and thus each exhibit may be shown several times a week. Each set of slides is shown by means of a picture frame, for instruction as the pictures are shown. There is no cost to the schools, except that of shipping from town to town. New films and slides are received each month; four films were added to the present list during year 6, and more are expected in soon.
