The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news by standing for them and playing no favorites; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charismatic; to be more serious; to more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE WEATHER
BRING BACK THE SOLDIERS
Fair and colder; frost tonight
At the present time when affairs in general at the University are encountering the smoother sailing since America entered the war, and with the end of the winter session so near at hand, K. U. should at once begin a campaign toward inducing returned soldiers to enroll next fall.
Part of the 35th Division is already on the way home. Other units containing Kansas and Missouri men will soon be discharged from the service. Former soldiers are re-entering civilian life in large numbers every day, and a few words of encouragement to these men would cause many to continue their college education—a great benefit not only to our particular institution, but to the nation as a whole.
The changing personnel of the students often causes men who have been away for a year or more to think that they are not wanted to return. They feel that their places in University life have been taken by a new class of students.
It is for these reasons that every person interested in the University of Kansas should take it upon himself to write or in some other way encourage returned service men to be back next fall. The year 1919-20 promises to be one of the greatest years in the history of the University. Not only because of the number enrolled, but because of the high quality of the student body.
Not a man has been in the army, navy, or marine corps, but who has held a place of love and affection for K. U. Let's get busy and help bring the old men back.
Do you have the mercenary viewpoint and believe the Fifth Liberty Loan will not succeed, feeling the people of this country have forgotten their patriotic zeal? Or have you faith in the American people to "Finish the job?"
A LANDSCAPE GARDENER NEEDED
Now that flowers and shrubbery have been added to the vegetation on the University Campus, or at least on the eastern half of it, K. U. can boast of one of the prettiest homes of any university in the country. The shrubs planted by J. A. Evanoff, the expert Bulgarian gardener in the fall of 1917, have again survived the winter and are in good condition.
The University cannot afford to let these shrubs and flowers die for want of sufficient care. Mr. Evanoff was a
graduate of a Bulgarian college and was an expert in his line, but he is gone now, and no workman has been appointed in his place. The University needs a gardener at once.
There has been some talk of continuing the beautification of the campus and extending the planting of flowers and shrubbery to the west part of Mount Oread, especially about the Administration Building. There is no reason why the University of Kansas cannot have a very beautiful campus: We have the location, all we need now is an expert landscape gardener to care for the plants, the "Campus Beautiful" idea extended over the western half of the Hill and a little care on the part of the students in keeping off the grass.
"Make it unanimous" is a sign in the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce rooms. Why not introduce a few similar banners at the Peace Conference?
A FACTOR IN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
The system of reciprocity with professors in the agreement just concluded between the Department of Public Education in Chile and the University of California should be an important forward step in the sympathy existing between the United States and South America.
A thorough knowledge of Hispanic life and language is constantly becoming more important. Given the presence of some of the best minds of Chile in our country and their immediate contact with students will do more toward promoting a common understanding than could any other possible method. On the other hand, the benefits which our instructors will receive in Chile are not negligible.
The greatest optimist in the world is the man who believes he conquers the high cost of living by planting a package of radish seeds.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP— BUT LEAP
We have always been told to look before we leap, lest danger befall. If we do not watch where we are going we are likely to hit a rock.
This is a good doctrine. Many of us do things hastily and impulsively, and are sorry for it afterwards. We wish we would have looked before we leaped.
But there is another side to the question. If we look too long, somebody else may leap first, and by the time we get ready to leap we find we have been outdistanced.
Or sometimes we look so long that we don't leap at all. We think the distance is too great, or we are afraid of the landing place. And so we stay on the "safe" side—and we never get any place.
The great deeds in history have been done by the men who looked first, but leaped too. If Robert Fulton had listened to the people of his time, he would have looked and looked and never have taken the leap that made the modern steamship possible. So with Morse and his telegraph. And Columbus made the biggest leap of history, when he sailed across the Atlantic in the face of all the world, and found the New Land.
Look before you leap—but leap. Michigan Daily.

Memorial Comment
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Of the many memorials suggested for the men of K.U., who made the supreme sacrifice for their country, perhaps none would be more appropriate than chimes. They could be placed in the tower of one of the present buildings on the Hill, the Museum or Blake Hall, for example a suitable tower might be built especially for the purpose. It it is considered proper and possible to raise necessary funds for an All-Uni- university building, chimes would prove an attractive feature carrying out the memorial idea.
The music of the chimes, ringing out over Mount Oread every hour or oftener, would, in my opinion, be a lasting, fitting, and beautiful memorial to the alumni and students of the University of Kansas who gave up their lives in military service.
K. C.
Editor Daily Kansan:
There is a great deal of talk now of establishing some kind of a memorial for the soldiers of the University who took part in the great war. There have been several things mentioned as suitable for this memorial, and there has been some discussion as to which is to be adopted. Among the things mentioned is the memorial arch.
himself. Nam firmly convinced that a memorial arch is exactly the sort of a memorial for the University, for several reasons. This school of ours has needed an arch of some kind at the entrance to the campus for a great many years, and this would be the proper time to build something in the memory of the K. U. boys in khaki that would be permanent. Such a gateway to the campus would add a great deal to the beauty of Mount Orend and the school. Almost every other institution of any size has a beautiful arch at the entrance. Why shouldn't the University of Kansas erect one at this time as a memory to the soldiers?
An Arch Fiend
Editor Daily Kansan:—
In choosing a memorial for the University in honor of the K.U. soldiers, the durability, utility and appropriateness of the monument should be considered. A student union building would be a lasting memory of our war heores. It would be fitting in that it would be a democratic meeting place for all students and thus significant of the ideals for which our soldiers fought.
A student union building would be a general gathering place for students. In it would be rooms for all purely student organizations to gather. There would be looming rooms for both men and women. Student organizations would have their offices here. There would be a cafeteria and various organizations as honorary fraternities could hold their banquets here. A music room could be fitted for music lovers. Possibly it would contain a dance hall.
The great benefit would come, however, from having a general place of meeting for students of all schools and departments. It would be as the Y.M.C.A. hut is to the army camp. Such a building has fulfilled similar needs at other universities and the fulfillment of these needs at the University of Kansas would certainly be a suitable memorial to our soldiers.
A Reader.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Complying with your request, I here state a few of the reasons why I am firmly convinced that the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium is by far the best suggestion for a memorial that has been made so far. It might be added that the suggested memorials, such as trophy rooms, arches, and statues are also fine ideas and could be worked out to wonderful advantage with the new athletic field and stadium as as already been stated by Manager W. O. Hamilton, of the athletic department.
In the first place, I believe as the board of alumni visitors, who suggested the idea, that the proposed athletic field and stadium is without question the most logical memorial suggested so far, as it fits in most appropriately with the keeping of a memorial spirit. One of the alumni visitors said the proposed athletic field with stadium would probably meet with absolute approval as a memorial by our dead soldier heroes more than any other memorial, if we could but know their desires and wishes.
ment. The best officers and soldiers in the war were athletes from the universities and colleges as has been vouched for by all of our military authorities. Practically half of the men students of the University will be competing in intra-mural baseball games in a few days, in addition to more interest in women's athletics than in the history of our glorious institution. A large percentage of the military work here will be athletic in nature.
No other suggested memorial is more needed or would serve the interests of more University students. The athletic management has been planning a new athletic field with stadium for several years, because the McCook Field bleachers are almost ready to tumble down. It is absolutely essential that a new stadium be built in two or three years if Kansas wants to keep pace with the other Missouri Valley schools. Missouri already has concrete bleaches. With the new athletic field and stadium Manager Hamilton would be able to financially assist in paying the cost and also to make new additions every year.
Athletic exercise is essential to good health and muscular develop-

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN MAG-
AZINE WRITING?
Dana Gatlin, A.B. '05, magazine writer in New York, offers the following suggestions to students who are interested in writing:
The following courses are good as a preparation for this works-English, extensive reading, and Journalism.
The salary is much better than that paid the teacher. Especially it is better after one has gotten well started.
Some students get into the work by just "owling in."
Students who have or feel the impulse to write fiction, should write and write and write, learning always to express themselves better. Study the works of people better than themselves, taking pointers as they do so. Study the output in contemporary markets.
A graduate may get into the work by trying and trying again.
Agnes Thompson, A.B. and A.M., 1896, now editor of the Graduate Magazine at the University of Kansas, says:
A general knowledge of printing will help very much. Many times there are points which a magazine editor could solve if he but knew some of the finer points about printing.
Special training for this work may be received in the department of journalism in the University of Kansas.
