The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas of the community, and favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to serve others; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of one's abilities, the students of the University.

MIDDLE-WEST SHOWS UP EAST
As a climax to a brilliant record in France, the 89th Division, representing Kansas and the great middlewest, survived the stiff elimination tournament held in Paris, where seven of the best American football teams were entered, and won the undisputed title Saturday of having the best gridiron machine in Uncle Sam's forces overseas.
And not only did the 89th Division win the fotball championship. At the same time it brought to light a little real dope on the comparative strength of the east and the west in American athletics. For years the superiority of eastern collegiate athletics has been claimed by their supporters and western athletes have been generally rated as second class. Foremost among these eastern authorities has been Walter Camp of Yale, famous for his annual selection of mythical All-American elevens on which western men rarely are placed.
Walter Camp's practice probably received its death blow when the 89th defeated the great St. Nazaire football team in Paris two weeks ago. In that game, described as one of the fastest ever played, our own Potsy Clark and Ad Lindsey, playing the halfback positions for the middle-western team, played Charlie Barrett of Cornell and Eddie Mahn of Harvard to a standstill and the press says it was the work of the K. U. men that made victory possible. Clark and Lindsey were never recognized by Walter Camp as good enough for his All-American, and yet Barrett and Mahan placed. Scrubby Laslett, former Jayhawker star end, is another man who has showed the easterners the way the game is played in the west.
Kansas and the middle west should be proud of the great record the 89th Division and of the men who have gone from Mount Oread to make that record possible. In the future perhaps Walter Camp will take more notice of western athletics.
Somebody has mentioned the possibility of better service on the street car system now that the six-cent fare is in vogue. Yes, perhaps the motormen's wages will be raised and they will be able to buy a new necktie.
WHY SHOULDN'T BORAH
COME HERE?
William Edgar Borah, senator from Idaho, and former student of the University of Kansas, is to speak in Topeka April 8, and in Wichita April 10, but so far no announcement has been made that he will address a University audience at any time on his trip. The University of Kansas should have him.
The spotlight is strong on this former student of Kansas, and for that reason alone it would be of peculiar interest to the University to hear him talk. More important, however, is the fact that he can give a first-hand, serious discussion of the League of Nations as he sees it. The University is intelligently interested in this most vital problem of the day, and will welcome a discussion of it by one of its chief opponents. Whether or not we agree with Mr. Borah's ideas, the University should have the opportunity of hearing them stated directly at a general convocation.
The University should have its senator.
Have you ever thought of the comparison between a common rubber band and the extraordinary student who seems to be able to hold together in efficient working order, any organization in which he enters? Yet how few such individuals we have and conversely how many rubber bands.
CLEVERNESS ON THE WANE?
"Mademoiselle La Mule—He Wins Wars" is the title of a recent magazine article, and a typical illustration of the everlasting American attempt to be clever.
The best stories in the average man's opinion are those in which the characters say exactly what they do not mean, and hand the "comedy stuff" back and forth at the most rapid rate. The best plays are those which contain the most of this so-called clever repartee, and the popular mind apparently refuses to concern itself with anything matter-of-fact or ordinary on the ground that it is too slow and stupid.
The person who calmly and simply says what he means is getting to be so rare that it is not improbable he will come into style before long. Cleverness is so sought after that the abundance of it in circulation makes it no longer unique.
WHEN IS A MAN A MAN?
As seen by a H.S. student.
When is a man a man? The question is often asked in many a round-table discussions by MEN and even by those who have not—by some misfortune or other—the privilege of being classed as such.
But, honest now, when is a man a man? Is he a man when he discards the knee pants and puts on long breeches, with a convincing thought that he is now a man? Or is he a man when he can puff through his nose? Or is a man a man when he can indulge in gambling and other vices! No! He is about as far from being a man as the Kaiser is from heaven.
Yet there is many a fool that thinks that way and for these fools there is only pity for they have blindly chosen the wrong path. They do not *know* that a man is a man only when he is a man—when he can overcome his difficulties and laugh at the world—when he can face his fellow-met without a quiver—when he can look upon the other sex and when he can equal to his own sex and when he can understand the world that he is glad that his hard and honest toil has gained him his livelihood! The fools do not know that he has chosen the right path and can now consider himself a man. "The Manual."
In accordance with the established custom of previous years, the Senior class will again carry canes this year. The use of canes is being revived after being dropped during the war—Pennsylvanian.
The great problem of the next decade will be to obliterate the estrangement that has come to exist between mankind and the plowhandles.-Houston Post.
According to figures given out by the secretary of the Harvard Law School, 72 more men have been admitted to the special session of the school since February 3, the first day for registration. The enrolment in the special session now totals 304. This number coupled with the enrollment of 123 in the regular sessions bring the law school registration for 1919 to 417 as compared with 857 in 1916-17, the first year before the war.

Of course I was awfully sorry. That at present things were slow
Of course I was awfully sorry,

But he only smiled and thanked me,

THE SOLDIER'S CHANCE
He stopped one day at the office—A fellow haggard and tall, an asked for a place to keep his absent master. "What'll sall."
I noticed an arm was missing,
And said—with a different glance-
"How did it happen?" he answered-
"Out in the Fields of France."
My hand went up to his shoulder,
Yet he didn't show surprise,
At my sudden change of feeling,
Or the tears that filled my eyes.
You bet I could find him something,
And give him a Soldier's Chance-
For a boy of mine was lying

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO THE STUDENT
For a boy of mine was lying
Out in the Fields of France.

"How do you account for comets and meteors?" inquired the girl who wanted to seem scientific.
EXPLANATION
"Now and then," replied the professor who wanted to seem frivolous, "the music of the spheres attempts a little jazz."—Washington Star.
"Oh, but you didn't let me finish. I was going to say 'that idiot of an emperor of Japan.'"
"No, you don't," replied the policeman. "There's only one idiot of an emperor. Come along with me."—Topeka State Journal.
It happened in the German Capital some months ago. Two German Socialists were standing talking in the street, and one, becoming excited, exclaimed: "I tell you what, that idiot of an emperor——" His discourse was cut short. Turning quickly, he was confronted by a German policeman, who informed him that he was under arrest. "What for?" asked the captive, beginning to weaken.
"Wagner," replied Mr. Cummox.
"You must be a student of music?"
"Oh, I didn't know that the sake of relieving myself of conversational strain. If the other man doesn't like Wagner he doesn't want to hear me say another word."
SAVING HIS VOICE
"For uttering treason against your emperor."
"He wants to do all the talking himself."—Tid-Bits, London.
"Who is your favorite composer?"
"Wagner," replied Mr. Cmurro.
"And if he does?"
The tag often affixed to the name of a public character is that "in private life" he or she is this or that. How many of us behind the scenes of the world's stage are all that we face the world with?
Henry Watterson has narrated in his reminiscences, in a moving way, the agony of effort it was to Artemus Ward, sick and dying in London, to deliver his lecture and we upraciously funny for pay. Before he went on he was weak, miserable, barely able to stagger; but he donned the mask of the buffoon and seemed the very incarnation of gay irresponsibility and jocund whimsically when he stood in the presence of the audience.
IN PRIVATE LIFE
Even so, an Irish comedian, suffering acutely from shell-shock, made his rebellious body obey his spirit, to give entertainment to soldiers at the front in a play he wrote and managed, in which he assumed the chief part.
Twice during the evening they found him outside the shed, crying as thouh his heart would break.
Each time he gathered himself together and went back to his appointed task of bringing good cheer to the rest.
This kind of dissembling is only to be praised. There is another sort that is not laudable. It is that of the man who has one sort of life that is seen of others and another sort when he is by himself.
Advice does not carry far nor does it effect a deep lodgment when it comes from a man whose practice does not square with his precept.
"Throwing a front" gets a man just so far and no further. The deception is pierced before long. The manner of man he truly is comes to be known by the company he keeps, by the chance word he lets fall, by the look in his face when he if off his guard.
Honor System Beneficial
At Vanderbilt University
Nothing tires a bad man sooner than playing he is a good one. The strain of keeping up appearances sooner or later is too much for him. The keen perception of astute students of human nature brings him to grief.
Happiness comes to crown the life of the man who is the same, essentially, at all times and in all places. He is not acting a part. He is always his own genuine, human self, and he does not know how to be anybody else. His private conduct and his public deeds no need to be reconciled, for all his life is an open book that needs no apology or explanation—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Seven Students on Honor Committee Have Charge of Trials and Expulsions
---
The Honor System is in general use in southern colleges. It has been especially successful at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., where it has been in use since 1875.
The students bring no book or paper with them into the examination room, and they sign a written pledge before they leave. The professor may be in or out of the room, to suit his convenience. Often a committee conducts the class.
The students have the principle held before them that it is more manly to fail than to cheat. Student sentiment enforces the system with very little help from the faculty.
An Honor Committee, composed of seven members who are the officers of the four classes and three seniors appointed by the president of the senior class, tries all cases of dishonesty. If the accused is found guilty, he may either withdraw quietly from school or have a public trial.
The important part of the system, however, is the spirit which it fosters throughout the school. Student tradition has built such a strong feeling against conduct that is seldom ever necessary to bring a case before the Honor Committee.
Men's Student Council Will Elect on May 14
