The Daily Kaaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at the university than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University sets out to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be self-reliant; to be wise. Loads, in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the college.

LOYATLY MEANS VISION
The Linn County Club not only has agreed as many other organizations have done that the "Put K. U. First" idea is a good one, but has gone a step further by planning to back up its approval with deeds. A dinner for the high school seniors of Mound City to be given either during Thanksgiving vacation or the Christmas holidays, will feature the active work of the club in putting K. U. first.
Every other organization committed to the loyalty campaign should think the matter over and decide how best it can help the movement along. At least this much is expected of these organizations. Acceptance of the idea implies the will to contribute something more than cheers, effective as they may be. This the Linn County Club has planned to do. This the Sachems have done, and this the Women's Athletic Association is planning to do. A loyalty which does not work, which sees no vision, is useless clap-trap, and has not place on Mt. Oread.
About the only place we can find "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is in the constitution.
DRAMATIZE "K. U. FIRST"
DEAR ANTLE K. U. FIRST
Fifty dollars for the best play based on the slogan "Put K. U. First" is offered by the department of public speaking, with the idea of aiding the loyalty campaign. The plan is a noteworthy one. Not only will it aid the department of public speaking, but the campaign for "K. U. First" would be given great impetus.
There are many students in the University with literary talent enough to write a play depicting college life and activity in such a way that it would help to put the University first. One result of this offer should be the submitting by these students of several plays. The knowledge that he is doing a service to his Alma Mater would well repay him for the time and work use, without the fifty dollar remuneraton. In addition to this recompense, the play would be open for competition in the annual prize play contest.
Enterpriseing and ambitious students should not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity of service and loyalty to the institution of which they are a part.
FIND THE FINE ARTS
The recent exhibition of the work of Kansas artists at Topeka, contained some fine examples for our department of design. Miss Bisonsent three of her remarkable vases made from Kansas clay, and Professors
Griffith, Hokking and Fraiser also put the K. U. spirit into the collection. Almost any other Kansas product is better known than the Kansas artists. The effort to give them proper recognition is highly commendable, and one signal result will be a greater prestige for the advantages provided by the University along these lines. Write these things home to your family and friends as part of your "bit" in the Loyalty Movement.
"The people perish for lack of knowledge."
The prospect of becoming a member of "Who's Who" in the columns of the Sour Owl has softened the hearts of over fifty students and professors who failed to hear their names called in the Red Cross roll call.
On Other Hills
The Players club of Colorado U have chosen ten new members out of the sixty to try out.
"Nothing but the Truth" will be staged by members of the junior class of Colorado College on November 15. The first production is produced in New York in 1916.
Aeroplaning at Smith is the newest fact. The Curtiss Company plant in Boston has sent an airplane to Smith College, and by paying $15 girls may enjoy the thrills of flying. Ten students ascended before the faculty realized the seriousness of the epidemic, and now only those who first obtain the consent of their parents will be allowed to indulge in sky trips.
With the one exception of the university, Ann Arbor seems to be fairly well prepared for the coal shortage expected to result from the walkout of miners this morning. The University has only enough coal to last for a few weeks, and according to E. C. Pardon, superintendent of buildings and grounds, the officials are much disturbed over the situation.
The annual minstrel will be revived at the University of Texas on December 1. The first part of the performance will consist of the minstrel proper, then a Queen's race will be held, and immediately after the election of a queen, a minstrel parade will be staged.

News of Alumni and Former Students
Major J. C. Ruppenthal, LLB, 95 of Russell, who recently visited his son, Lloyd, tells this story of his career at the University: On Sat Past Friday, he told us that the laws were called, went over in a body to attend a lecture given in Snow Hall Auditorium. Each word and "L" of brown ribbon for W. B Brownell and over it a green one for Uncle Jimmy, the only professors in
When the lecture was over all coats, hats, and caps of the laws were gone. The naughty college men had taken them to the top of Fraser tower and were guarding the stairs. After a short scrimpage the huksy laws empowered them and mounted the stairs. But in the scrimpage someone stepped through Mr. Rupenthal's new derby, causing much trouble for the police and never nothing but a soft but since and never expects to do otherwise.
Charles C. Cramer, A. B. '12, visited here recently. Mr. Cramer is a former K. U. athlete and now lives in Gardner.
In civil life he is better known as Judge Ruppenthal of the twenty-third district which office he held three consecutive terms or twelve years.
Mr. Ruppenstein stopped on his way home from Washington, D. C. in the interest of a hall for Methodist women at the University. The last fourteen months of the war he served as Judge Advocate, hearing courts murders and doing some work on the editorial staff of the Judge Advocate's department.
Solon Smith, A. B. '03, of Oklahoma City, was a visitor in Lawrence recently.

As a student at school
An ideal was blazed in his heart
And it grew more brilliant
As it was shortened.
HIS IDEAL
As a graduate
I its lieutenant gleamed before him
Like a star in the fortament.
Strive for it, he would,
Through all the dark chaos of it
Then in the awiri of industry,
Shafts of promise plied
Through the motes of dust.
The Ideal.
Through all the dark chaos of the world.
He would grind the obstacles,
With the teeth of his Will
And defy eternity in his mission.
Mental Lapses
Then he sun the son brightest
And bells of attainment
and betels of occasion.
He lost his Ideal —
He married it — Paul Arthur Yaw

NATIONALIZING DUBS
In France, the long-promised cat-oral suit is at length materializing At 110 foures it is still warranted
instruments—high-promised individual suit is at least 10 inches, it is fully expected to be a real boom to the bourgeois gentilhomme and, on Sundays, to the ouvrier. Moreover, one is glad to learn that the national suit will admit of sufficient variation in cut and color to preclude the effect of a uniform. After all, standardization has its little drawbacks, among which the elimination of individual features prove to be more than merely an aesthetic blinder. If nature appears to have decreed that there should be all sorts and conditions of men, there is a certain logic in the assumption that there must be all sorts and conditions of clothes. And in matters sartorial it would be at least fuitile to contend the exigence of war with the cherished privileges of peace—Christian Science Monitor.
NEWS FROM DAYTON
From Dayton, Ohio, whence came the news at first incredible, that the problem of mechanical flight had been solved, now comes the news, almost as hard to believe, that there has been invented and successfully tested there a propeller for airplanes that has something of the diversity of action possessed by the motor organs of aircraft. The reason of the new propeller, it is reported, are not immovable on the central shaft, but can be more or less changed as to angle with that shaft to meet the aviator's will r need.
If this has been done without introducing the weakness that goes with complexity of mechanism, the operation of airplanes, especially at the enormously important moments of flight, has proven to exactely where it most needs improvement. Already wonderful things are done with these machines, but the sparrow that flies to and stops on a telegraph wire or a slender twig does so at which the most skilled aviator hitter has looked in hopes less envy.
That a propeller with movable vanes would permit the emulation of the bird's achievements in rising and alighting it not obvious, but it certainly would be a step toward the ideal shipship—an ideal, by the way, which is still far and very far from attained.
And yet, after reading the Sunday papers, there are some people who believe that we should go down and show Mexicanes how to run their country.
Now that war has been declared between certain elements of the I. W. W. and ex-service men, there will be an opportunity for the men who stayed at home to demonstrate their fighting qualities.
"The man who would push little chickens in the creek" has nothing on the professor who imagines the course of his life. The professor makes his assignments accordingly.
It was said that the A. E. F. stood for "After Every Female" but now it looks as if it stood for "After Every Man." We might present our present form of government.
Its a wise student who studies his professor. With so much emphasis placed upon grades it isn't so much a teacher as a student you know" as it is "what you know."
These "black diamonds" which are being discussed so much these days, might also be called the "hope diamonds."
Now that the labor question has become of vital importance to the nation it is safe to forecast that the two main political parties will skillfully avoid the formation of a definite platform in this subject in the next platforms.
The "Accuracy" and on the "Brevity" signs which are placed on the walls of the Kansan office might be obsolete. Students of the school who has the first of these qualities will always find a place for him in this world, and it is to his advantage as well as he may be concerned that he apply the latter.
AMERICAN NOBILITY
A college professor in California has raised the question whether a college degree and a title conferred by royalty are not practically identical as incentives to anobody, and therefore require them to be "the United States." "To call me doctor," says he, "is the same as distinguishing me as a lord. To get a degree in college is just the same as to win a 'Sir.' In conferring degrees our American colleges are feeding the student with the professor's position—or should one say the citizen-professor's"—apparels in the fact that the average American citizen will wonder how he came to think of it. Ever since there have been colleges where they have been citizens with college degrees, but until recently they have thought them as a titled nobility—Christian Science Monitor.

AMERICA is fast becoming a pipe smoking country. Every year more and more men are realizing the comfort, the satisfaction, and the economy of the pipe. And by natural selection, more and more men are smoking WDC Pipes. This is not chance. It is because WDC Pipes offer the utmost in pipe value. Honest French briar, seasoned by our own special process make WDC Pipes break in sweet and mellow. Coupled with that is a self-governed body of pipe makers whose sole object is to fashion pipes which are without peers in all the world. And it has been accomplished. Ask any good dealer.
