The Daily Kansan aims to picture the under-educated in Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by funding for them; and to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to be more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University. I am equally the students of the University.

GIVE THE 35TH WHAT IT DESERVES
The 35th Division, composed of Kansas and Missouri National army troops, is on the way home to be mustered out of the service at Camp Funston. Word has been officially received from the War Department that General Wright's troops are aboard transports somewhere in the Atlantic and are due at Newport News about April 19 or 20.
There is great rejoicing in hundreds of homes in Kansas and Missouri because hundreds and thousands of sons and brothers will soon be back again to tell of their experiences in the Argonne and elsewhere. The "great time" looked for by many is almost here.
The University as an institution also has much to look forward to in the homecoming. To show our appreciation for our own men, a celebration, a real holiday, has been authorized. Included in the division are the two individual units consisting almost entirely of K. U. men, Company M, and Battery B, of the 130th Field Artillery. The state is proud of her soldiers who have played a part in the great war and is planning a gigantic welcome in many cities.
There is every reason for the University to arrange the fitting celebration it is planning. No small amount of the returned soldiers interest is centered around his alma mater. He has thought of the time he might again climb the Hill, look over the campus and talk to old friends and teachers. We are proud of them, no one questions the true regard of the entire University. In this celebration keep in mind the sacrifice these men have gone through, and remember, in order to present the best organized effort, everyone must help.
At last the word comes that the ex-kaiser will be tried for his crimes. Many people have wondered if public opinion would or would not allow this character to escape without trial.
MORE CO-OPERATION IS
NEEDED
Many University women still appear to be misinformed as to the purpose of the House Presidents Council. Few will deny that there is need of some sort of organization for women of the University. The scattered rooming quarters, which is necessitated by the absence of dormitories, demand this organization. Yet in
some houses the women have assumed an indifferent attitude and a few are hostile to the plan. They apparently do not realize the House Presidents Council is designed for the benefit of University women as well as to see that University rules are observed.
One purpose of the organization is to adjust controversies in the house between the landlady and the roomers without taking the matter to the Adviser of Women. Many petty disagreements may be taken up in this way and settled with very little difficulty if the matter is considered carefully. Difficulties over rooming house conditions will continue to arise until all the women are housed in dormitories. But this organization has accomplished a great deal in improving rooming house conditions and may do even more if all the women will cooperate.
The campaign for the Fifth Liberty Loan will begin in Lawrence, Monday, April 21. Students of the University and citizens of the city will see again the spirit of giving demonstrated. Everyone should realize that he is and has a part.
A resolution has been introduced in the Illinois Senate asking the War Department of the United States to discharge at once all soldiers who have had experience in farming. According to a few farmers in Kansas, this procedure will be necessary here unless their boys are returned shortly. The action at Illinois shows the average use to the farmer of the "red tape" in the service.
VICTORY LOAN TO START
MONDAY
four-minute men will be in evidence and a genuine army tank, imported especially for the occasion, will climb Mount Oread and rattle through the streets of Lawrence in battle array.
There is one thing that must be set definitely in the minds of the people of this country before or in the campaign. It is their sacred duty to support the Victory Loan drive. Let the people think of the hundreds of thousands who have suffered and died on Flanders Fields and in France in the cause of Liberty, of the sacrifices made by millions who were willing to fight and risk their lives for their country. Then let them answer for themselves the question of whether or not they should subscribe their bit to the campaign. The answer from every person who has red blood in his veins will—"We will finish the job."
The first welcome we had to Mayence was from a young French girl who ran into the road waving French and American flags. They call her the "Mille, Mittlebacht of Mayence." Mille Mittelbach is a French girl of Strasbourg who two years ago told the Germans that a day would come when the victorious French army would march into the city on the Rhine and that she would march at their head, she said, wearing the red trousers of the French dress uniform.
There are several reasons that may be advanced for this phenomenon:
The student must be tired, and this is his way of resting his feet. Or he may be simply vicious, delighting in annoying others. The most plausible explanation is that he is an agent for some clothes-cleaning company, and is doing his bit t. o t earn his salary.—Michigan Daily.
YOU KNOW HIM
Among the various types seen on the campus, we have the student who always puts his feet on the seat ahead of him. He is very careful as to the position of these feet—they are generally securely reposing on the coat-tails of the one in front.
The wiest and best of men.—may the wisest and best of their actions, may be rendered ridiculous by a per son whose first object in life is a joke.
—Pride and Prejudice.
For that baton the Germans gave her six weeks in jail. But her day came, as she had said it would, and she did march through Strasbourg at the head of the entering French army, red trousers and all. Today she is the heorein of Alsace—Gregory Mason in the Outlook.

Campus Opinion
He who does not think well of the work he is doing, is made impotent by that very fact—The Snow Man.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
The arguments for the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium brought out in the communication Tuesday were: (1) that they would form the best memorial suggested so far as believed by the board of visiting alumni representing the taxpayers of the state; (2) that no other memorial would serve the interests of a greater number of students because approximately half of the men student body will be competing in the intra-mural baseball tournament in addition to more interest in women's athletics than in the history of McCook Field bleachers in such a bad condition that it will be necessary within two or three years to build a new stadium anyway, and (4) that practically all of the memorials suggested so far are fine ideas and could be worked out to wonderful advantage in connection with the new athletic field and stadium.
One of the arguments left out, and probably one of the strongest arguments, was that it would be best to strive for a memorial which stood the best chance of materializing. Manager Hamilton, of the athletic department, has enthusiastically endorsed the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium plan and is in a position to financially assist in the undertaking because funds have been saved up for several years for the express purpose of constructing a big stadium. Manager Hamilton is also in a position to make additional improvements from year to year. The athletic field and stadium plan there stands the best chance of materializing as it has the additional advantage of athletic financial aid in addition to the same sources of funds that are open for the other proposed memorials. Let us strive for something we can get in addition to bringing the most logical memorial.
C. E. McBride, sports editor of the Kansas City Star, endorses and urges the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium pointing out the above arguments along with the great pride taken in the famous Yale bowl and others. He adds that it would be the greatest drawing card for the University that could be suggested. He predicts that with the new athletic field and stadium the big football games here would draw as large crowds as they used to miss Missouri and Kansas played their annual games in Kansas City. The Kansas City editor would be attracted to Lawrence by the new athletic field and stadium in addition to visitors from all over Kansas. The increased athletic receipts would materially aid in the cost of construction.
In this connection it might be well to add that Manager Hamilton has pointed out that more than ninety per cent of all the visitors that come to the University attend athletic events while here. In other words more people come to see the big football games than visit the University all the rest of the year. This is a fact which has repeatedly been impressed upon me by Lawrence business men, and they are all enthusiastic over the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium. Let us
all join in getting the athletic fish and stadium as it seems the most logical memorial and one which is most likely to materialize.
John A. Montgomery.
The Victory Loan is next.
