The Daily Kaanas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, so they can learn more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas. Ultimately, students must be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be patient; to be wise; to be kind; in all, to serve to the best of its ability; the students of the University.

The little boy who used to hope his teacher would get sick, is now hoping that the threatened coal strike will close down the University.
THE OLD GRAD LOYAL ...
The old grad is again fighting for K. U. In response to a telegram from Doctor Allen, four former Kansas football heroes are coming to Lawrence to help inject victory into the present eleven. Dr. A. B. Poorman, Dr. John Outland, Judge A. C. Burrey, and "Cassius" Tom Smith have laid aside their business duties in order to help give the football team the necessary apirt for a victorious season.
The other former stars to whom telegrams were sent probably would come if possible. For the old grad, in spite of occasional stories to the contrary, he not forgotten his Alma Mater and he is willing to be of unselfish service. Loyalty is characteristic of the old grad. Transcending the spirit of his daily life in his idealistic love for his University and her cherishes this love in his heart, putting it in play when given the opportunity, as those four men are doing.
A married man reduces the H.C. of L. to this syllogism: Man is the slave of woman. Woman is the slave of fashion. Therefore women's fashions keep man slaving.
FRESHMAN DORMITORIES
To those who did not have to search for rooms in Lawrence this fall a word with those who did will be enough to convince them of the great scarcity of available dwelling places. The situation becomes worse each year instead of better. Especially the women of the University find difficulty in obtaining suitable rooms because, for some reason, the number of landlords who will take girls becomes smaller year by year. The additional houses thus opened to men will not even adequately accommodate them.
Governor Allen's plan is a practical solution for the strained situation. Dormitories for the freshmen, particularly, would be a distinct improvement on the hill. They would, besides solving the rooming problem, give the first year students, as Mr. Allen suggests, a fairer start on the university career and enable them to obtain a much broader view of political and social conditions than if they were members of a fraternity or sorority.
The dormitories could be operated on a co-operative basis affording the cheaper lodging places and tending to keep down the prices of rooms throughout the town.
THE MIND AND MEAT
THE MIND AIR
"You can lead lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink," and conversely, you can expatiate to the average American on the value of good horse-meat without making any perceptible headway. The government has appropriated a hundred thousand dollars to put horse and pony meat on the market in order to increase the supply of animal food. Provision is made for careful inspection, and all pieces of such meat must bear the official stamp.
Yet such is our habit of thought that while we should find great satisfaction in certain horse-hide or pony skin possessions, only the gravest necessity would reconcile us to horse roast or pony steak. What we eat is always affected by what we see. After many generations we forget the sight of the cow or the steer in our platter of beef, and only the slow process of the ages would enable us to use the same psychological method in regard to a fleaty pony or a fine sleek horse. Last year the government effort to popularize crayfish died almost in the bornin'. This perfectly good resource belongs to the shark family, and we abshar. The virtues of canned whale meat exploited during the war excited only a passing curiosity, while the various substitutes for flour were valiantly endured or fled to the chickens or pigs while the regulation lasted, and joyously repudiated at the very first word.
But the expert women who went about teaching us how to make breads out of barley and bran fetita, and angelofe cake out of expensive rice flour, had a good job, and this fresh hundred thousand dollars will give some favorable families the wherewith for a luxurious table. The things that fail in one direction often succeed in another. And the flocks who pay the taxes and foot the bills will probably be better off for the extra oil and sacrifice. There's nothing like having good horse sense in the consideration of all these matters.
The fellow who looks over your shoulder and copies off your notebook for a better grade than you, may not be as smart as you but he certainly is more clever.
Mental Lapses
"Aren't you afraid somebody will steal that fliver of yours?"
"No," said Mr. Chuggins, "I'm leaving it around in that apparently careless manner as a trap. Some people are out there with it, not knowing its ways; and the first time it strikes a street car truck or a railroad crossing it's going to stop short and render the environs of capture." — Washington Star.
Mr. Hicks was in a bad temper as he sat down to supper.
"I wish I was an ostrich," he explained as he tried to eat one of his wife's cakes, but couldn't.
Mrs. Hicks wasn't going to star this insult to her cooking.
"Y, I wish you were," she replied. "Perhaps I'd get a few feathers to put on my last year's hat then I would have." "Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph."
"And which are the best workers the plain girls or the pretty ones?" asked Senator Penrose of one of the Treasury officials.
Women's part in the war has excited unusual interest, but nowhere is it greater than in Washington. The nation's 43 million patrons are now working for, Under
"Well, it's this way," was the answer. "The plain girls don't make so many mistakes, but no one finds fault when the pretty ones make them; so I guess it's about fifty-fifth."—Los Angeles Times.
A story is recalled by the recent marriage of Maurice Maertelink, the famous poet and dramatist. In his early days, with his first wife, the clever and witty Georgette Leblanc he was discussing with her the correct word to fit into one of his poems. The two were at it until midnight. Then they went to bed, leaving the room still ill. A late day the poet aroused his sleeping wife. "Get up, Georgette!" he cried excitedly, "Get up and attach a light I have just thought of a really good word."
"Get up yourself!" replied the indignant Georgeette. "I have just thought of a really bad one."—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
WHAT IS LIFE?
"Life is fire and thunder."
Shouts the fighter; "life is wild; have ceased to pray and wonder Like a smould child."
"Life is dust and laughter,"
She sneezes the crynic "life grows cold;
There is nothing waiting after
When our hearts are old."
"Life is song and magic."
"He's in long and wide hats,
he's in bird wings;
Life life with human, tragic.
Dear, brave, tender things."—Literary Digest.

In an announcement released from the Press Bureau of Amherst College, the starting results of a paleolithic expedition conducted by Profs. P. B. Loomis and John W. Harlow of New York State resulted in a three to "anestrical" horse; an "abberant" camel; a "fossil egg"; and evidence of some good sized bird, no part of the skeleton of which has been preserved. The coveries made. According to the report the three toed horse stands about three and one half feet high at the shoulder. As far as can be ascertained the "fossil egg" is in the prize cold steel hat of a 1920s brewer houseware in the primal mud for the past million years.—Ex.
FEARS THE CAMERA
It is amusing, and perhaps even a little pathetic, also that the sometimes Kaiser, who in other days joyfully posed before the camera at least once every day, and by his own imperial will was probably the most enjoyable of the world now, has a hysterical fear of having his picture taken.
The reason for the change is not mysterious. It is, of course, that the stem War Lord, with a face that for those who did not study it carefully know, is now old and gray and broken. That would not prevent him from continuing to distribute his pictures if the change had come in the ordinary course of nature, and would be objectionable to them, unless he artificiale his eyes. What troubles him is that he knows that now few of the eyes would be friendly—that unnumbered millions would be grimly glad to see what hurrying time had done to him. What could happen to punishment in the alteration of his features.
Despite the fact that everybody in and out of the universities agree that one finds among them a most admirable attitude of good humor toward the situation, while awaiting the introduction of drivers are to bring. One professor of the classics bore well with an unintentional test of his good humor, one day this summer, when, seeking to eke out his income, he went into the headquarters of an organization devoted to work for boys, and in other words to books about old booklets on vocations which, he had heard, the organization was preparing. He was told that no booklet remained to be assigned except that on plumbing, which he might write it he felt qualified. The professor smiled cheerfully as he shook his head, looking around and about plumbing, do you think I would be teaching Greek?" -Christian Science Monitor.

Did you ever try to have a church mixer on a night when there was NO traternity, NO sorority party?
Plymouth Jottings
Seriously, and quite good-natured, couldn't there be one night every so often—may once in six weeks—when you're free to go to a church mixer?

Could the churches be given a better chance?
Possibly the wise editor of this pungent daily might add his comment on this little scheme.
My good friend, Prof. McKeever, didn't suggest it, either.
