The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UC Berkeley to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it. You can play no favorites; be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be curious; to have more serious prairies to wiser heads; in all, to serve to justify the students of University.

THE UNIVERSITY'S MEMO DIAL.
The one big question to be decided by the University, in the near future, is that of a suitable Memorial for the men in the service who have made the supreme sacrifice.
The University wants to honor her soldiers by a memorial, and should decide intelligently what it will be. This is a big problem, one that cannot be solved by a minute's contemplation on the part of either the students or the faculty.
At least two of the proposed memorials will cost a great deal of money, and the others will represent a considerable outlay of cash. When one considers the expense and the immensity of the question, it is at once evident that many things must be taken into consideration before any definite action is taken. The good points and the bad points of each suggestion must be noted and carefully considered and the whole matter threshed out in this way. This is no time for hurried action.
Therefore it is evident that the individual student should not make up his mind too quickly on the subject of a memorial. He should take everything into consideration and know as much as possible of the merits of each suggestion before he makes his decision definite.
Italian Premier Orlando says he has not decided whether to answer President Wilson with a statement or an act. If the peace conference is going to turn into a free-for-all, it is to be hoped that the president's golf playing has strengthened his good right arm.
Canoeing always was a favorite springtime sport at the University, but now it is going to be an organized pastime. Hence the question arises: "Will a fleet of canoes on the river be as enjoyable as only one canoe?"
LANDSCAPE GARDENER IS STILL NEEDED
Much favorable comment has been expressed this spring concerning the shrubs and bushes set out on the campus in the landscape gardening project which started actively two years ago. Mount Oread is hailed as more beautiful than ever.
If the gardening is continued under the supervision of experts the attractiveness of the campus will be increased and the unsightliness of some of the
building allayed somewhat. This week, twenty-one trees and several clumps of shrubbery are being set out, and trees and shrubs are expected to arrive here soon from nurseries in other places.
The work thus started must be kept up—and well kept up. An efficient landscape gardener in sole and complete charge of the matter can bring about unity of decoration and well-planned effects that cannot be obtained through hit-and-miss, unskilled gardening.

The lowly and much criticised prune was slowly sinking to oblivion until Bill Hohenzollern kicked up the fuss and we had to have a large army again.
The University of Kansas has the greatest collection of dandelions of any school in the United States and is doing all in its power to maintain that distinction.
THE "WAIT A MINUTE" HABIT
With the coming of this fine spring weather and the spirit of laziness that inevitably accompanies it comes also a surprisingly increased percentage of tardiness in classes.
Students have a habit of coming to classes just a little bit late—not enough to make any difference in his own mind—but just enough to cause his instructor a great deal of trouble and annoyance. This habit grows, and soon he is hardly ever at his classes on time. Not only does he interrupt the class every time he enters the room, but he inevitably does himself harm by forming such a habit.
Such a student should make a resolution and stick to it to get up just a little earlier in the morning, walk just a little faster up the Hill or to and from classes and the unnecessary evil of tardiness would soon be practically eliminated.
One more complaint will be registered against the War Department if it sends the Kansas units through Lawrence in the afternoon or evening. Students can not be expected to give the soldiers a "regular" welcome, unless they are getting out of classer at the time.
The popular prices for dances in Detroit is ten and fifteen cents. Thus it may seem that the K.U. Senate member who used to have such a rip roarin' time at sixty-five cent college dances was probably helping pay some grafter's way through school.
ONE PHASE OF "MORALE"
The maintaining of a neat and well cared for campus is wholly dependent on the student body. Were the lawns and walks kept free from paper, peanut shells and all other forms of trash the appearance presented would redound to the credit of all. Such carefulness costs nothing except a little personal and college pride in one's own campus.
However, the policy of keeping to the walks cannot be fully endorsed, for the reason that nearly every "moth-eaten path" has a reason for being. If those who use these paths were to voice an opinion there would be, in a short time, several new cement walks where there were none before.
Now that commencement is drawing near, there is a good opportunity for classes to do something that will permanently benefit our university. At one college one year a whole walk, of no small dimensions, was laid in one day by a graduating class. Such a permanent gift would not sink into any deep oblivion for many years.—Minnesota Daily.
In England if a path is very definitely in use it is recognized and not put into disuse. But since paths very obviously disfigure our compus, could we not compromise and substitute walk or gravel paths?
General Pershing has cabled a request for more reading matter for our soldiers abroad. The men who fought the hardest are still there. The men who suffered the most from wounds are still in the hospitals there. And they are still begging for something to read. Why not remember to place the one-cent stamp on your magazine and drop it in the mail box when you are with through it? -Tech Collegian, Kansas City, Missouri.
USE A ONE CENT-STAMP
THE BAREFOOT GIRL
Tennessee physician says that all girls should go barefoot until they are 16 years old. It gives them health, strength, freedom and a graceful carriage, but what girl wants a carriage any more when tapestried limousines are to be had? Nevertheless it sounds good and we have no objection to a girl going barefoot when she is 16 years old. We like to see them. If they keep on boosting shoes to $18 and $20 a pair some of the old girls will have to take the prescription of the Tennessee doctor—Ios Angeles Times.
When a man has sufficient strength of mind to rely upon himself and sufficient energy to exert his abilities, he becomes independent of common report and vulgar opinion. He secures the suffrage of the best judges and they in time, lead all the rest of the world.—Ennui.

TODAY
The glamour of ancient things,— Poetry stored in lands afar, Majesty crowning kings.
Ruined castle and ivied moat, Armen and blunderburs
Armoir and buttonboss,
Blazoned scutcheon and jeweled
shrine,—
why are they now to me?
Dead is the past of yesterday
Like the past of a thousand years;
Gone the beauty of outworn things,
The horror of byewe fears.
What are they now to us?
Dead is the past of yesterday
Proven valor of poor and weak,— Not by a fairy tale;
Life! Life unseals our eyes!
These are the wonderful days.
Glory beams from humbled souls,
Treading familiar ways.
Golden legends are daily news, Christendom does not fail.
The mighty are fallen, the proud ashamed,
Force is bowed in the dust.
But heroes march in the Rank and file,
And the meek hold power in trust.
When was the beautiful world so strange,
With an undregmed future—ours to mold.
From the marvelous gift to... Alas Farwell Brown in the Youth's Company.
Memorial Comment
Why is it that the University men and women talk so strongly in favor of an athletic stadium and then fail to turn out for the games? From the looks of the crowds at the baseball games one would be led to believe that a dance hall for a memorial would be more popular.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Are K. U. students indoor or outdoor sports? They will have to change rapidly or they will be classed as indoor sports and the cause of the stadium will fail. The writer is for a stadium but would like to see more student action in attending games and less talk. A stadium will not make a team. Support the baseball nine and show your interest in Kansas athletics and the stadium will come.
The greatest hindrances to getting a stadium for a memorial are the exaggerations made for it by its supporters. The statement has been published several times that ninety per cent of the visitors at the University come for athletic events. It is impossible to accept this percentage when one considers the many people coming every week visiting students, the commencement audiences, fraternity homecomings, the parents and families visiting students, and the many other events that cause a steady stream of visitors during the entire year.
Editor Daily Kansan
Again the idea is put out that a stadium costing $250,000 would be like the Yale Bowl which cost in the millions of dollars. It is also assumed that a stadium would be an extraordinary stimulant for athletics but no. thing definite is shown where it would materially help sports.
A Fan.
Certainly a stadium is needed and that a stadium would be an extraordi-
worth alone must be the deciding factor. A fair unadulterated considera-
tion of all sides alone can bring the best memorial to the University of
Kansas.

Sermonettes
Written by K. U. Students and Lawrence Pastors.
The fundamental basis of all religions is found in the teachings of brotherly love and friendship among all mankind. This same brotherly love and friendship is the foundation of true democracy.
By John A. Montgomery
In our daily life at the University I am sure we would be happier and more contented if we would practice this same bratherly love and friendship to the fullest extent. Little acts of kindness instead of hasty words of criticism bear fruitful results.
A cheerful word of encouragement to a friend in distress is one of the most commendable characteristic of a true citizen of democracy. It is the little thing that counts so let us re-read it and imagine future we will be a real friend to all.
It is only natural that we aid and assist our friends but let us show the real characteristics of true manhood and womanhood by being a friend of all regardless of petty personal prejudices. "Better love hath no man than this that he lay down his life for another." This is the spirit that prompted our University soldier heroes to make the supreme sacrifice in the world war and one that should dominate our daily student life.

A CHEVRON SUGGESTION
"Ex-Lieutenant" writes: "Having at last resumed my normal habitat and clothing, and feeling, therefore, extraordinary irresponsible, mentally, and peculiarly loose from the knees down, I log to offer the following suggestion for service in foreign territory. For each period of six months' continuous active service in the state of Texas, one chevron of salmon pike, a cactus rampant and a male cactus compaint the same to be worn over the right lung, or as near thereto as the conformation of the blouse permits."
