TAKE NO CHANCES
While there seems to be no immediate danger of an epidemic of diphthia at the University, all precautions should be taken to prevent such an occurrence. One student is in the University Hospital, but due to the quick detection of the case, the patient is progressing nicely, and will be able to leave the hospital in a day or two.
Every care should be exercised to prevent the disease getting a foothold among the students. As soon as there is the slightest indication of the disease, all the students should report to the University Hospital for examination. Diptheria usually manifests itself by the appearance of a sore throat accompanied by a slight rise in temperature.
Diphtheria is spread by personal contact, the common use of the drinking cup, and the common use of other articles. During damp weather, danger of contracting the disease is greater because of the increased danger of contracting a cold.
Every student owes it to the welfare of the remaining students of the University to exercise the greatest precaution and, with the first symptoms of the disease, report to a physician at the University Hospital.
PUTTING K, U. FIRST
PUTTING K. U. FIRST
In adopting the slogan, "Put K. U. First," the Men's Student Council has found expression to the predominating sentiment among the University students this year. A big major of them is zealous of any advancement which places the University of Kansas further in the foreground, and is concerned when other institutions seem to be moving forward faster than their own.
But usually it is a passive sentiment and no direct action results from this feeling. The campaign for "Putting K, U, First," therefore must be a campaign for that kind of individual action which in the aggregate can have no other result than pushing the University of Kansas to a higher plane of leadership among like institutions.
The individual action in such a campaign will vary but the general direction will be the same and, in the end, will result in a higher standard of scholarship, better athletics, and more democratic spirit.
In attaining better scholarship, the result goes back to the individual student. The simplest way to "Put K. U. First," in scholastic standing is for every student to translate the slogan "Put Yourself First."
To reach a better athletic standing every student is again concerned, for
the spirit of the athlete teams is the cumulative spirit of themselves as members plus the spirit of every student. In general a better spirit means better athletics regardless of the number of defeats and victories and in this direction the slogan "Put K. U. First" might be translated, "Put Spirit First."
A more democratic spirit among the students also is a vital necessity for a successful campaign. Any trend towards a false classification must be broken up for the common fellowship as members of the same general class. In this regard the slogan, "Put K, U, First," can be translated for action in the slogan, "Put the Other Fellow First."
A HUMAN FACTORY?
To the average person a University is a place where high school graduates are sent for four years training which shall make them fit for their life-work. It is regarded as a human factory where the student is entered as a freshman and after four years of tempring, comes out of the other end of the shite a finished post product marked for delivery to the world.
The same view is sometimes held by students who have not learned the big lesson of university training. What this type of students has missed is that the study at the University is at best only a foundation for the study seeded after leaving school. The men whose personalities are being forced in the attention of the world are men, who not only went to college, but men who have continued their studies ever since. Roosevelt, whose greatest has been impressed on the public since his death is a notable example of the men who carried their books with them after graduation day. The attitude if mind of every student, whose amities are worthy, should be that university training is only the foundation for the constant preparation which will be necessary throughout a useful life.
Mental Lapses
"We are going to investigate the Geodetic survey. What do you know about it?"
"Nothing, Senator. I don't even know what geodetje means."
"Neither do I, and that will be awk-ward. We'll investigate something else."—Louisiaville Courier-Journal.
"How is it, Sandy," asked a visitor of a Scotch coal merchant, "that you quote the lowest prices in town and you get them back as friends and yet you can make money?"
"Weel, it's this way," explained Sandy in an undertone. "Ye see, I knock off two shillings a ton because a customer is a freer o' mine, and I'm getting two hundred weight a ton because I'm a freer o' him." - Boston Transcript
The following is told of a late rattle wa mage and a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. Said the magrate to the lawyer:
"I want you to show that this law is unconstitutional! Do you think you can 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 constituted years ago." -Lancaster News Journal.
"The she says he insists on sitting in the same box every night when she sings. As a result they have been thrown together so much that he has gotten on her nerves"—Birmingham Age-Herald.
"The prima donna has decided to divorce her latest husband." "On what grounds?"
One morning a woman walked into a village grocery store with a majestic stile. It was easy to see by the man, who sat quietly that she was somewhat disturbed.
"This," she sarcastically explained, throwing a package on the counter, "to the washing itself. It's the soap on washing a pleasure. It's the soap—"
"That isn't soap, madam," interrupted the grocery man, examining he package. "Your little girl was in yesterday for a half pound of heese an a half pound of soap. This is the cheese."
"U-m, that accounts for it," said the woman, as the light of understanding began to glow. "I wondered all night what made the Welah rarebte he had for supper taste so queer."—San Francisco Argonaut.
THE LITTLE FLOWERS
"Some one must love the little flowers
That no one cares to gather"
The little nameless things half seen,
Narribled through the morneds green,
Barely visible in the light. Though they deck not half or not browns,
Nor garden closes.
So my lady speaks to me—
Soul of gentleness is she—
Soul of gentleness is one—
As I bring her mighty roses,
Heavy lidded, bold sleepy;
Orchids serve creature and cray-
orchids; painted,
painted;
Some one must love the little flowers."
Lilled cups of carveen pearl,
Lovely as some scarce-budged girl,
Altar-still and strance and sainted.
As I sing their spirea palaeas, praises,
Quaint illumination all with daisies—
"Sage one must love the little flower,
Le Gallique in Muney's," Magazine.

Editor, The Kansan:
How about a tug of war over Potter Lake, between the freshmen and sophomores?
As has been demonstrated this fall, a class rivalry or competition of a physical nature, involving strength and teamwork, is the class and get the members acquainted that any mixer or social gathering will ever do. A tug of war would have all the excitement and thrills of a fight at the same time would be harmless.
"Poor old Bill don't ail' up against it! His firm 'ave agreed to the strike terms. an' is lot 'ave to go back to work."—Kansas City Star.
A day, early in the fall, could be set aside for the event. The sophomores could organize, ascertain the men available, and the freshmen could pick out an equal number of contestants.
By having the struggle in the fall instead of the spring, the freshmen would early become organized, and feel a live interest in their class and consequently in the University. One misfortune at the present time, is that so many first year men after, have fallen ill because they feel they are strangers on the campus. A tug of war would go away with this.
Fifty-odd years is a respectable, age for r any periodical and more noteworthy in the case of a college magazine published by undergraduates for undergraduates; but perhaps the Harvard Advocate has taken over his role. He reached its fifty-third year before having a permanent home. The Advocate has just moved into permanent quarters, after many changes of temporary residence in the rooms of successive editors, and there seems to be no good reason why it should not prosper for another half century. Yet he was not forgotten. He ceased the now forgotten Collegian, which had been surpassed by the college authorities for its opposition to compulsory attendance at chapel, and the official word had gone out that the "editors would be expelled if they dared publish any paper." The editors therefore, to an immediate call for the editors at the college office, and except for the intervention of distinguished alumni, among them Dr. Oliver Willem Holmes, its career might then have terminated. Times have changed, and college periodicals have grown in numbers matters with a freedom which, fifty years ago, would have been considered scandalous—Christian Science Monitor.
STILL SCANDALOUS?

Works to stop strike—Headline Sure, if everybody worked strikes would automatically cease.
Oh, Cow, what crimes the boarding clubs are committing in Thy name. The cream is blue and Thy butter is oleo.
Why should the Greek fraternities wry about winning W. A. McKeev's $500 prize when there are still plump of unpleased freshmen?
A—“Nothing is impossible”
As the tale comes from Paris, the management of the Hotel Crillon, which housed the American peace delegates, added to its bill an item from the general board that had diction and another of $250,000 for "demoralization of staff by having accustomed them to receive wages above the ordinary standard." To which the American delegation, so it is said, replied, "We want to advertise of hotel by making it the American headquarters," and $250,000 for "improvement of staff by teaching them American methods of work." Perhaps the story too goes on, but that the host offers, of course, that the Hotel Crillon is satisfied.
