Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of a student, so go further than merely printing the news by standing for the university and having no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charismatic; to be intelligent; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; at the University.

K. U.S ATTITUDE TOWARD THE R. O. T. C.
The R. O. T. C. at our request has come to K.U. From the Head of the Military Department we learn that this new department will stand for better physical training for the entire student body, and entire co-operation with the present physical department. Courses will be given in which the following subjects will be discussed: loyalty, tact duty, decision of character, initiative and self confidence, discipline, (not the discipline that knows nothing but blind obedience but the discipline that comes from willing and cheerful obedience, based on common sense, pride and patriotism) leadership, spirit corps, and efficiency. While these subjects are not distinctly military yet they have a very important bearing on that profession and will be studied in that connection.
The Reserve Officer's Training Corps which as us as a national organization which starts out throughout the United States with the enormous enrollment the first of the year of over 33,000 members. Can Kansas University afford not to support this great movement?
Camp Funston is to have a summer camp this summer for men desiring to enter the infantry courses. All the large Universities of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa,Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Missouri and Kansas will be here. These camps will not cost the men who desire to attend them a cent. The government will pay mileage to and from the camps at the rate of three and a half cents per mile. The government will also furnish clothing and subsistence to the men while they are at these camps.
All men of the present Freshman class who will be able to enroll for the summer camp will receive credit for the first years work in R. O. T. C. subjects. This will mean that any student who pursues this course to its conclusion will receive one hundred and forty dollars during the junior and senior year of his college work. In other words the Government pays you in actual cash for being patriotic.
Governor Allen in his letter to Lieut. Carol Harold Burdick, says: "hope you will succeed in securing the interest of a sufficient number of young men in this state to enable you to have a Kansas unit at the summer camps. The work which the R. O. T. C. will accomplish is not only helpful to the man who take advantage of
the training, but it builds in the country a reserve strength in case any national emergency should call upon us again for the defense of our nation."
Will the University of Kanais take advantage of the opportunity that it is offered? It is up to every man in the University to decide.
The University failed to take advantage of war time prices when it did not increase the price of sheep-skins.
MOTHERS' DAY
when the average student comes to the University for the first time he is kept buay for the first few days taking in the sights. He is making comparisons in his mind's eye between the University and the small high school at home. He is thrilled with the immensity of the school of which he is proud to consider himself a part. In a short time he becomes accustomed to the methods and customs of the University, and adjusts himself to his new environment. The newness has worn off, and he slips into his room for the period of quiet meditation. He is not thinking of his lesson for the morrow. He is not making plans for the future. But in the quietness of that room, his mind goes back to home and parents.
For the first time in his life, he understands what it is to be away from mother. He begins to realize what a great friend she has been. How she has struggled and sacrificed to the utmost to put him where he is. How she has cared for him in time of sickness, comforted him in time of sorrow, overlooked his shortcomings, and how anxious she was in regard to his future. All the hundreds of small favors come back to his mind, and he feels that there is no one else on earth like her. He is proud that he has a mother, and he manifests that pride by writing a long letter home telling her about it.
We say he is homesick. Is that childishness? No. Many a brave soldier, man to the core, has experienced this same feeling. It is the most natural thing in the world for one who has been suddenly broken away from the ties of home.
But as the time goes by his mind is occupied with his studies, or his attention is attracted to athletic and social amusement. His habits and customs so conscientiously adhered to at home are being changed. The letters to mother are becoming shorter and farther apart. The visits home which she so anxiously looks forward to, are not receiving a reciprocal attitude from him. So far as he is concerned the home ties are being slowly but surely weakened.
This is not done intentionally. No real man or woman would do such a thing. It is usually because of neglect. It was because of this negligence of home and mother that Mother's Day was instituted.
Next Sunday is set aside in memory of mother, and it is our wish that every student in the University will avail himself of this opportunity to bring happiness and cheer to the heart of her, who has made it possible for him to be here today.
OUR BUSY PRIMA DONNAS
The spring epidemic of practising is up on us, and in a more far-reaching and deadly form than in other season's. It's a great thing to be gritted with a good voice, and yet certain students in the School of Fine Arts assert that it is not as desirable as one might think. Most of them are supposed to be practicing for three or more events at the same time, and even the most talented are unable to do this gracefully.
The students of the University object to the coca cola drinkers paying the taxes of the whiskey drinker.
Women who are to sing in the Glee Club concert, the May fete, and the Greek play, wearily mount the Hill each night at 7 o'clock, and let the directors scrap it out. They are rushed from one room to another, only to sing lustfully a few minutes, and then be commanded to move on. Diplomatic
relations between the directors and managers of the various events are becoming more strained each day, and the musical enthusiasm of the vocalists is ebbing.
A few fortunates are aesthetic dancers, too, and theirs is indeed a strenuous life. They dash from Fraser to the Gymnasium, execute a few steps, and hasten back for something else. But, of course, there must be a Soph Hop and a May Fete, and persons who can dance must dance.
What atrocities are committed is the name of the Muses!
Education develops curiosity according to the number of upperclassmen who ask for psychological tests.
ARMIES
Yes, I believe in armies—
Beautiful, sun-bright armies,
Rising out of the ruins of war
As riseth the morning star.
Swift to the world's salvation,
Solenid, equipped, and strong
