The Daily Kaaan is meant to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous, to be wise; to be kind; to be wiser, reads, in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of

A pessimist is a University woman who plans her course as if she intended to follow some vocation after her graduation.
PUT K. U. FIRST
"Put K U. First"—something each and everyone of us needs to bear in mind. The University depends on the students for its very existence; it cannot prosper and grow without we give it our whole hearted support; it cannot continue without we realize that it is an institution conducted for our own development and welfare; it cannot live up to its nation-wide reputation as one of the foremost institutions of learning unless the students who receive the benefits to be derived from it advertise and support it.
The action of the Men's Student Council in adopting Professor Melvin's "Put K. U. First" slogan is commendatory to that body; other organizations of the University should take similar action, and get behind the plan of considering the interests of the University before all others. It is not the football team, no band, the glee clubs, fraternities, sororites, nor any of the other organizations which have to do with the success of the institution, but the University itself. All these others are merely integral parts, vital and necessary, to be sure, but the big thing is "K. U." and its success or failure to perform the purpose for which it was created and is supported by the state depends on the students who reap the benefits.
The University has a song—the "Crimson and Blue." How many students know it, and how often is it sung? On the few occasions where the words are put to music, how many students undergo that sensation of the tightening of the chords around the heart, or the rising of that lump in the throat? What the University needs is a revival of old times when songs were sung and school and class yells given in church and at convocation until the chancelor appeared. The students of that time were on far more intimate terms with their Alma Mater than we are at the present day. Their love and respect for the University was, perhaps, no greater than is oura but expression to that love and respect was more often given.
"The Put K. U. First" slogan is a good one. It has for its aim a better and bigger school. Let's all get behind the movement, and make the University of Kansas the most widely known school in the world for its spirit, its enthusiasm, and its efficiency.
AN ACCEPTABLE CHANGE
Every year, since time memorial,
the managers of the Jayhawker for
the current year held a "beauty contest" to stimulate the early sale
of the annual. Votes were given for
each book sold, and the contestant
selling the most copies was declared
the "most beautiful woman of
the University," and her photograph
printed, together with the runners-up
in the contest, in the book.
Sometimes the really beautiful woman,
with her dancing eyes, clear complexion, perfect features, and a "skin you love to touch," did not win first place in the contest; her more fortunate sister who was perhaps better known on the Hill, and for whom a greater number of students were working, won merely because a larger number of books were given to her, and not because she was "the most beautiful woman of the University."
This year the managers of the 1920 Jayhawk者 will decide to drop the old plan, and will conduct a new form of contest, in which the different organizations of the University will be the competitors. Cash prizes will be given for the winners of first, second and third places, and those organizations making a certain number of sales will be given a copy of the annual.
Taken on its face value, the plan is a good one and superior to the old method of holding a "Beauty Content" in order to make sales. It will work to a better advantage to the editors and managers of the book, as well as to the organizations entering the contest. A larger number of contestants will be able to enter the field, and a greater number of Jay-hawkers will be sold. Properly conducted, the plan will eliminate all possibility of friction or ill feeling between contestants, and there will be no dispute, after the contests close, as to whether "the most beautiful woman" won. The organization which works hardest will win first money.
Every organization of the University, with the required membership of fifteen, should enter the contest and support the 1920 Jayhawker, and help make it K. U.'s best book.
An A, B, tacked behind a name means about the same as the Ab in a baseball box score. It indicates a "time at bat" while the result is to be found in another column.
THE SUGAR SHORTAGE
Gulf and eastern refiners have been notified by the United States Food Administration not to ship after October 13, until further notice any sugar to points west of Pittsburgh and Buffalo, and north and west of the Ohio river. The press report [urther states that the order was made because of the scarcity of cane sugar.
A more consumer would think that because of the scarcity shipment would be made to any reasonable limit, and he also supposes that the middle west is to depend upon supplies from San Francisco and our beet sugar districts. Also we can congratulate ourselves that Lawrence grocers are still selling twenty-five cents worth to each customer, and as yet asking no questions as to when we bought the last twenty-five cents worth.
That this shortage could probably have been avoided by proper forewage a year age is not patent. Good authority now declares that the restrictions on sugar consumption should not have been removed, but only modified, after the armistice was signed. Any one might have seen that the demand after the war would be so great that the supplies on hand and the multiplied vessels would not be possible without the best possible method of distribution.
A certain senior at the University can never remember what his various courses are so he has to carry the one text book he has purchased to all his classes to be sure to have it at the proper class. Carrying the book makes all the professors think it is for their course he says.
"I am, sir. What can I do for you?"
"Are you a lawyer?" asked the wrathy visitor.
"I'm in the grocery business. A woman called me a profitteer. Is that word actionable?"
"It certainly is—if she can prove it."—Birmingham Age Herald.

The election of class officers was declared illegal by the president of the men's student council at Ohio State and a new election has been called. It is planned to change the whole form of voting, perhaps by holding voters to present unstamped class cards and register at he booth.

Campus Opinion
You say, "How tiring it must be.
To weave new balances constantly"
Early this year the A. E. F. Club was organized for those in military service, especially marines and soldiers, who had seen action in France. They were strong social organism. It leaves out, owing to its nature, the consideration of all naval saemens and officers. One would naturally suppose that the number of men, attending such an institution, was small, but who had seen more or less extensive service in the Regular Navy or Naval Reserve Force was insignificant. But the fact is that the number of discharged or released naval saemen in the regular Navy was greater than men. If this number of "saltes" were organized into a Jolly Tail Club it would serve a function analogous to that of the A. E. F. Club.
