The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at the university to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be humorous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.

THE WEATHER
PREPARATION AND MASTERY
Partly cloudy tonight and Friday; possible showers southwest portion.
Our educational system has developed rapidly in recent years, both along the preparatory and vocational lines. A few years ago high school courses were considered sufficient training and preparation for a life work. College graduates were a rarity among the business and professional men of the world. A college education was only for those in most fortunate circumstances. Consequently the attention of educators was fixed on high school courses, to provide them with the means of training the young men and women for some vocation or life work. But simultaneously with this desire for vocational work came a greater desire to enter college, so a great deal of attention was given the college preparatory courses.
Then came a change in the attitude toward college courses. The main purpose of the college course had been to prepare students for some special work, or give them good professional training. True, this is carried on at the present time, but at the same time there is a constantly growing demand to have a better foundation for this work. So instead of the old four-year high school course as a foundation, the system has developed an additional four years' college course, called the course in Liberal Arts and Sciences.
True to its name, its purpose is to give the student a liberal education, a broad outlook upon life, a good foundation upon which he can build his special work. In reality this four-year college course is only a course of preparation, and it rightfully should be. The holder of an A.B. degree usually isn't fitted for any special vocation. His mind is simply prepared to receive a course of training for special work.
Mastery is the aim of the graduate work. After years of preparation the student directs his mind toward some special line of work, and strives for a mastery of that work. Success in life depends upon a thorough knowledge of well defined principles along the line in which one intends to make his life work.
The advantage of a Master's degree over a Bachelor's degree is tremendous, and time required to secure it is unusually short. Why throw away the opportunity?
"DAD" IS HERE
"Dad." When you think of that word, you think of a million good things in life. Our own dad, what he
means to us, and what he has done for us! "Dad" Elliott is just, that same kind of a "Dad," a father to every University student, with a keen insight into his troubles and his problems. A man who devotes his life to the college students of America simply because there he knows he will find the material with which to make men and leaders, can truly be called "Dad" in every sense of the word.
Let's all turn out to give him a royal hearing. He's worth it, and then you will want to call him "Dad" also, and he will be glad to have you.
It is hoped that the agitation over a suitable memorial for the men who died in France will result in no fatalities. The casualties to date have been slight.
BY HIS NOTEBOOK, YE MAY
KNOW HIM
Doctor Wiley praises the new low-cut waists and advocates their adoption by the men. Here is a chance for our war heroes to demonstrate their bravery.
The distance, or spread, as the economist would say, between the newly fledged freshman on Mount Oread and the staid, imperturbable graduate is great and wide, considered both in time and experience. Nearly every one recognizes this fact, but few people realize that one of the biggest differences between the embryo Jayhawker and the philosophic grad is a matter of difference in the size of the notebooks.
To the verdant frash as he enters his first K. U. classes his notebook is a serious and almost sacred thing. He regards profs as sort-of demi-gods, celestial or otherwise, according to courses and methods, but at all events beings whose slightest words are streams of wisdom flowing from the fountainhead of knowledge. As he jots down as nearly verbatim as his speed in penmanship will permit, every word in every lecture, his notebook assumes such protigious proportions that often the frosh carries three or four notebooks, one for every class.
Thus is the yearling known, not only by his glaucous qualities, his diminutive headgear, his beardless face, but also by the size of his notebooks, usually plural in number for a singular freshman.
As the presumptious sophomore is developed from the credulous freshman, he rapidly learns the ways of professors and their classes. The voice of profs no longer give impressions of wisdom, but are classed as somewhat vapid and inane. Notebooks consequently shrink in number and proportions. The soph still believes in the effacefulness of the written symbol over the spoken word, but visions of writer's cramp are conjured often enough to prevent superfluity of notebook material.
So, when the stranger at the University notices a person engrossed in deep thought, or gravely voicing serious discussions with a stupendous vocabulary, but carrying no notebook, he should immediately put him in the category of graduates. New methods of mental discipline and a mail order method of memory improvement together with more mature ideas about taking notes, have eliminated the time-honored notebook in the Graduate School.
K. U, does not compel her freshmen to wear green caps, as these would not provide sufficient contrast.
By the time a student is ready for his bachelor's degree, he usually carries his notebook in his right, rear trouser's pocket. The notebook, held so holy in early days, is now a combination of notes, dates, personal accounts, and addresses. Reams and reams of valuable material in loose leaves may be filed away in the old bureau drawer at home, but these class notes, so the student argues, are surely enough. Besides his life work and his major at school may have been changed numerous times. So why bother with a notebook?
LET'S TRIPLE OUR QUOTA
The University's Victory Loan quota has been oversubscribed, but we have not yet completed our task. Our share is to buy bonds to the utmost of our ability. If we don't, we will never be able to greet the returning soldiers with a clear conscience. We sent them across to France with the admonition that they do their best. Now that they have won the victory it is up to us to match their deeds with our money.
We are not asked to make a real sacrifice or to give two of the most valuable years of our lives fighting in the trenches of France. All we are asked to do is to invest our money for four years on the best security in the world. Meantime, we will receive 4% per cent interest on our money.
K. U. should triple her quota of $20,000. That would be the best memorial of all to the memory of our soldiers.
Let's match the gold V's on the soldiers' sleeves with our gold subscriptions to the V-Loan.
QUATRAINS
I hit him once; I struck him twice;
I bound him with a gag
Because he asked me for a dance. This would-be dancing stag.
By the simple, speedy method:
Tacking honors to our name.
Old Jayhawkers all remind us We may rise to noted fame
It's not the book that you carry in your hand
Or the quiz's tiresome grim
It's not the work that the profs demand—
demand
It's the last steep block to the Hill
in your hand Or the quiz's tiresome grill.
Campus Opinion
All communications to this column must be written by the signer as evidence. The manuscript should be used if the author specifies Communications are welcome.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
In last Friday's issue of the Kansas there appeared an article in high reasons were stated why the University has a record of more meals being served than there were men in the S. A. T. C. There are other reasons which were not named in the article.
One other reason is that men who stayed here from thirty to sixty days, and even up until the armistice was signed, but who were never inducted into the S. A. T. C. were being fed and looked after at the barracks. On the other hand many of the officers ate there and at times the officers and sergeants sweetheart or visitors.
I know that the University owes me nearly $40 and I am not by myself. Why should we have to pay for the meals that other people ate? It is not our fault that the University could not keep up with the food.
Respectfully,
Leonard H. Mims.
HAD THE LAST CHANCE
A party of gentlemen at a hotel were tellin stories one night recently of famous shots and how many quails, partridges, ducks and other birds had been killed at a single discharge. After listening to what seemed a wilful exaggeration by different narrators, a stranger who was present volunteered his experience of his only use of the fatal double-barreled gun as follows:
"I went into the field one day to try gunning. The only game discovered was an immense flock of blackbirds. I should say there were 10,000 in the flock. Slowly I erased up to them, and when not more than four rods away the bird rose in a solid mass. I fired both barrels, and how many you think I killed?" Different guesses were made by the party, ranging from twenty to 100.
"Not one," the stranger, "but I woke up with my brother to look for the results and picked up four bushels of legs. I had shot a little under."
This was the last story told.—Chicago News.

Graduate work in French means a position as teacher in a junior college, with a salary of $250 to $300 over that of a teacher holding an A. B. degree only, according to Professor W. H. Johnson, of the teacher's bureau here.
It also means the possibility of a fellowship in a, French University. Several of these are offered every year for working along social service, economic, and scientific lines and are only to students who have had at least one year of graduate study.
Fellowships are also offered to graduate students by the collegiate alumnae for social service work in Europe. The French government offers two fellowships a year to graduate women for work in the Ecole Normale Superieure de Sevres.
French is a language of medical science. According to Prof. Eugenie Galloo, advanced study in French enables students to obtain positions in translating medical treatises and making resumes of their contents. French is the diplomatic language of Europe. An advanced knowledge of the language is necessary for any conular or diplomatic position.
Journalistic Grads Prefer Practice to Laboratory
Graduate Seminar Course Includes Theses on Practical Subjects of Journalism
"The field of journalism is almost untouched for graduate work," said Prof. N. L. Flint, head of the department of journalism. "Because practical work comprises so large a part of the newspaper courses offered, there is little room for historical or theoretical research, but many of the major problems connected with the business side of a newspaper are yet to be solved. For this reason the graduate seminar course is the only purely graduate work offered."
Among the subjects taken for theses are: the development of advertising management in newspaper offices, material of interest to women supplied in farm publications, the influences of the comic Sunday supplement on children, the structure and style of special features, the study of so-called humorous columns, and the intensive study of headlines from the standpoint of editorial policy.
"The publishing world has become one of specialists," said Mr. Flint. "Men trained in particular lines are now better appreciated and better paid than ever before. In order to understand a particular line, personal research is necessary, and we believe that in having much of this for our graduate work, the department materially betters the quality of the trained men it produces."
The Victory Loan is next.
