The Daily Kaanse aims to picture the undergraduate life of the teachers, who are more than merely printing the news by accompanying the ideas of the University in their teaching. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to be encouraging; to be waterloos; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

KEEP THE STREAM FLOWING
THURSDAY, DEC. 4, 1919
The humanitarian spirit of men is shown by the willingness with which the volunteers from the University of Kansas have gone to work in the Kansas coal fields. In a snow storm which brought, with it freezing weather, one hundred and thirty university students, after spending their first night in tents, washed their faces in ice cold water and lined up with lawyers, bank clerkes and men from every walk of life, to go to work in the strip pits and mine coal—that the critical coal situation may be relieved.
They have undertaken the task with an edor that is unmistakable. Their motto is, "let's go." They won the umderation of a boss when he noticed the fine spirit with which they were working and said: "They don't do thing this way in the union." No complaint has been heard as to their meals or living conditions, as they declare that they are there to work and get the coal and not kick.
Appreciation must be shown those men who are making this sacrifice, that people may live comfortably, and that industries may carry on in their usual manner. There are no slackers in this crowd and every man is doing his best. But some of these men will not be able to spare a great deal of time from their business. Some will give out under the strain. The stream of volunteers must be kept flowing.
ONE FAIR VIRGINIAN
The British House of Commons, the "Mother of parliament," is taking very kindly to its first woman member. That Lady Nancy Astor is American born, hailing from Virginia, where she was known as Miss Nannie Lange-horne, is doubtless one great reason for her success, and the record she may make will be watched with much interest on this side.
If she fulfills her promise, which is altogether likely, it will also have a pronounced influence upon the place which American women take in our own politics. Both Lady Aster and Miss Jennifer Rankin will probably have a number of women to keep them company before many years have passed, and our British lady has the work of demonstrating the repeated assertion that the wife and mother may serve the government of her country quite as acceptably as the sister who has no family cares.
Lady Aster pointed with pride during her canvass to her six children, and the experience she has gained through their strenuous requirements could not fail to be a valuable asset in the campaign which has given her so fine a majority. That she has
be elected to fill the place of her husband, Major, the Honorable Waldorf Astor, who has been elevated to the peerage through the death of Viscous Astor of Hever Hall, is another evidence of unusual strength of character and confidence in her own ability.
Her philanthropic work in her division—the Sutton division of Plymouth—has been a strong factor in her achievement, and her quick wit and unconventional methods attracted much commendation. The votes of women were widely insured by her espousal of anti-liquor legislation, and she has declared herself unequivocally against the profiteers and Bohemians.
The Commoners have set aside one of their pleasant rooms for her individual use which will be known as a "boudier sitting-room" and bear the legend "For Women Only," and she may also have if she likes a smoking room (the fates forfend!) a library, a reading room, a tea, and a dining room. Also she is likely to wear her hat all the time in sessions, as the members are required to keep the head covered when rising to a point of order. No disorder will hardly escape her, and being an American she will not fail to see that her head-gear is unusually fit and becoming. The most important issues may be determined by Lady Astor's hat.
PEACE TIME PROFITEERING
Why not wage war on peace time proffesers as well as on war time proffesors? And if the proffesors are not evident they should be brought to light. Take the case of the sugar industry, for example. The production of sugar from both beet and cane fields this year differs little from former years. Yet at present the nation's supply of sugar is unusually low and the price of sugar is threatening to go still higher.
More over, in the past nine months of this year one-fourth again as much sugar has been imported into the country until two weeks of any previous year.
The only explanation for such a circumstance is that someone or several persons have taken it upon himself or themselves to profiteer off the American public. Why not find these persons and ostracise them with others who have proven themselves un-American.
Mental Lapses
"I want you to show that this law is unconstitutional. Do you think you an manage it?"
"Easily," answered the lawyer. "Well, go ahead and get familiar with the case."
"I'm already at home in it. I know my ground perfectly. It's the same law you had me prove was unconstitutional two years ago."

Now that the K. U. Band has finished the largest part of its work for the school this year the students and more importantly the parents have credit has not been forthcoming yet? Surely the student body appreciates the work which the band did during the football season although there was a lack in the band and the athletic department.

of our profiteers — "London Punch."
Editor. The Kansan
At the first of the football season the band threatened to strike at the Missouri game if the faculty did not give its members credit. A petition was presented to the president of the Senate by a committee representing the band asking for credit. The Senate referred it to the Deans of the schools and nobody has heard of the petition in one case. The School of Fine Arts was charged with broad-minded enough to grant the band credit. However, none of the band men is a member of the Fine Arts school.
Even with the football season passed the band will continue to spend three or four hours every week at rehearsals drawing near and the students will want the band there to put some "pee" into the roots an then the old subject of credit will come up again. Just the old story all ever in the same old way.
Why not either turn down the band petition for credit or grant them credit and quit precrastinating. D. A.
Editor, The Kansan:
Does anyone know why there are so many more men students to be found in church on Sundays than women students? One answer of course is that there are more men than women students in the hill but that does not account for the fact that there are about five or six men to on woman at church services.
Most students do not realize when they are missing by not getting into the habit of attending church or Sunday School regularly. Many who are at least fairly good attendants at home while they are in school but that is not a poorest kind of an excuse. They instead are missing the chance to learn things in a religious way from men who are really deep thinkers and whose opinions they may respect and from whom they may learn things that they never had a chance to learn before or to be able to again. When we are in the University moment why not get all possible out of it. Besides there is certainly a satisfaction in getting up Sunday morning and getting out to Sunday School and starting the day right for it is a habit those who get interested and get into it of the thing are more than amply repasit in personal satisfaction.
And surely it is time that the women students aroused themselves and questioned as to why they are allowing the men to make so much the best showing in this, the highest type of endeavor.

"France doesn't want jazz" reads a headline. Neither do we but what can we do?
Lady Astor, who recently was elected to the House of Commons, says that deionectering is one thing and legislation is another. Evidently that has not dawned on some of our so-called legislators.
