The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of one of its alumni, James further than merely printing the news by standing on the ideas the University had taken from it to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be compassionate; to wear hinderers; in all, to serve to the university; the students of the University.

THE NEED IS STILL GREAT
With beginning of the third quarter of the University school year another step is taken in the reconstruction following the end of the great war.
Since the rapid discharge of men in military service is well under way, the beginning of school next September is expected to find the University of Kansas back to its normal pre-war strength. Since the war brought out so strongly the value and necessity of higher education to every person with ambition, educational institutions over the entire country will find an unusually large number of men and women who will enroll at the beginning of the next school year.
In addition to the greater number of high school pupils who will enter universities and colleges, men just out of military service will recognize the value of higher education, and will continue their studies.
Since the entrance of America into the war the greater seriousness of college students in their work has been marked. Now that the war is over it is to be hoped that this same serious spirit will be continued. The period of reconstruction that must follow the war will require well trained men and women fully as much as the time of actual conflict.
The time of great stress and need is far from being over. The throwing off of restraints incidental to military service should not tend to make college students lose their seriousness or become indifferent.
The manner in which university men and women accept their new tasks in building up the world after the end of the war will be indicated well during the present quarter. From the way K. U. answered the call to arms, it is not expected that she will fail in responding to the needs of reconstruction.
Contrary to Shakespeare's ideas, there does seem to be something in a name. No great war was ever fought on the Pacific ocean.
THE RARE BIRD FLIES
Today the Sour Owl makes his first flight this year. The wit, humor, and pleasantries of the entire University are supposedly given to the public by the 'rare bird.
Journalistic enterprises of an institution such as the University are to the outside one of the most important features of that institution. Outside readers who are not intimately acquainted with the school are very prone to judge the entire institution by the publications which it permits. They often consider that any serious article in an authorized publication
is the expression of the authorities of the institution.
A humorous magazine is a recognized part of nearly every large university. The Sour Owl is the humorous publication of the University of Kansas. Only two years ago it was brought from a much-raking scandal sheet to its present form and while it still is more or less undeveloped, it now represents a creditable magazine of the more generally recognized type.
Although the Sour Owl is still struggling with reforms it is now given widespread support. The University of Kansas for its own good should support a magazine which will reflect credit upon it.
The worst feature of the Sour Owl at present is no doubt the personal and consequently trivial character of its jokes. When such jokes appear for the last time the Owl will take its stand with Cornell Widow, the Harvard Lampoon, the Awgwan, the Purple Cow, Chaparral and scores of other college magazines.
The student public no doubt will soon demand that the personal character of the magazine be omitted. The publishers are also expected to awake to the fact that other college papers deem it wise to leave such matters out. And in the meantime we will buy a Sour Owl and laugh over the pleasanties of the rare bird.
SETTING THE PACE
In conquering any task or problem that may arise, a good beginning is half the battle. Today K. U, enrolled for the last term of the present school year. The year was begun with a very gloomy outlook. It is ending with the brightest prospects, probably the school has ever had.
Getting started right means more this term than it usually does. Students cannot afford this year to wake up to themselves and hit their stride in the middle of the term. They must set their pace from the very start.
This means that Wednesday in classes you are to show yourself as your best. In studying, find the best time and place in your schedule and exercise the gray matter for all you are worth. Put your foot ahead Start the new term right!
He who studies when he does no have to study will not have to study when he does not want to study.
HERE, YOU PIE FACES!
HERE, YOU PIE FACES!
Is your face what you want it? Do you think it reflects and typifies your true self? If not, what are you going to do about it? Do you think it can be changed, or are you doomed to always wear it in its present state?
Several magazines recently have printed pictures of famous persons, showing them at various different ages. No one can look at the pictures of these men and women, in which their face are pictured at several periods from boyhood until later life, without noticing very striking changes, not only in the expression of the faces, but in the very features.
In their childhood and early youth the faces are very ordinary. They probably attracted little attention, except from mothers and doting relatives. But in later years there is character in every line—wealth of expression that only real living could develop.
It is interesting to speculate as to what these men and women whose faces we now recognize as having something great and worth while about them might have made of their counterances if they had followed in the path of least resistance and drifted peacably through life.
To look at these faces now should be an inspiration to even the plainest of us. They may seem to say, "Even you with the hook nose, or pug, lantern jaw, high cheek bones, elephant ears, fade-away chin, or—yes, even a bald head—can have faces, expressions that will hide any more physical faults."

B but because he is in the house.
Who to the lexicon was brother;
In dipping dactyls he could scan
the syllables and other.
A PREFERENCE
He could discourse upon earth's crust, or On what made the dodo famous;
But yesterday I met a man
who looked like me. brother
than such a dreary dry-as-dug
I'd rather be an ignoramus!
He knew my rite each church in Rome
And he could diagnose conitions;
that I hadn't seen before.
He could transcribe
or strange Assyrian inscriptions.
He could dilate on surfs or tracts,
or legends from the land of Sha
Than such a facile fund of facts I'd rather be an ignoramus!
Clearly could he elucidate
The manners of the men of Media
All myths and marvels he coults
A peripatetic encyclopedia! He was authority on war.
nan such a knowledge-reservoir I'd rather be an ignoramus!
Could show how the cavenon might claim us;
He'd prate on Peary and the pole,
Then nimble, leap to the equator;
Was intimate with the Creator! Oh, to be learned in legal lore One hour, and issue a mandamus! I'd idle the world of one more bore.
Then rest content, an ignoramus!
Clinton Senate in Literary Digest
UMBRELLAS—HOW TO USE THEM
He'd solved the soul and "over-soul"
Went intimate with the Creator!
Has it ever occurred to you, gentle reader, that umbrellas are very useful things? Originally they were intended as a protection from that rather disagreeable moisture known as rain, but since then science has progressed to such a degree that many other ways of employing these articles have been discovered. They can be used as a means of defense as well as offense, and are often a source of amusement, though usually one of annoyance—it all depends on your point of view.
Next time any of your friends assault you with revengful motives, have your umbrella handy. It is a well-known psychological fact that very few people can withstand the onslaught of a person with an umbrella which is being rapidly and continuously opened and shut. Ninety-nine percent of human beings will be the moment for an orderly retreat—unless they have come prepared with suitable or similar weapons of defense.
You will also find an umbrella a useful protection against a flock of gesees if you happen to arouse the undesirable interest of these creatures when in their vicinity. In this case we would counsel you to keep near the fence, for the flapping of the umbrellin, though often producing the desired result, has occasionally been known as instilling an effect on known sensitive nerves of the gander; and a few moments of the life of the possessor of the above-mentioned article may be made decided unpleasant—even painful.
Again, in the event of your wishing to study the disposition of any one of your friends an excellent way to do so is to borrow their pet umbrella, take it for a walk along a wooden sidewalk—at right angles to the cracks; stick the point down ones of the cracks (according to the manufacturer) and umbrella. The result is either a beautiful curve or a two-piece umbrella. Then restore the cherished possession to its owner and observe the effect.
These use, we admit, a qr tie wearing on the umbrella—sometimes even destroying its waterproof qualities—but what does it matter? You can always borrow somebody else's on a rainy day.—McGill Daily.
Railway journeys are often dull and uninterested, but the monotony may be greatly relieved by an umbrella. Strap it firmly to the side of your suitcase, put the suitcase under the seat, but leave one end of the umbrella protruding into the sile, assume an innoce expression and preface the number of people who fall over it. In this way you afford amusement to others besides yourself, and at the same time enrich your vocabulary.
I am almost tempted to have a list of "Donts" printed for the American women to hang in the hallway so the boys will be sure the instant they enter the home door that certain dishes will never again be inflicted upon them. Let them know at once that stews are abolished forever. So many "stews" have they been forced to eat their name for it is "slum." The very thought of "slum" contracts their stomachs. Canned salmon (alias gold
fish) and corned beef (alias monkey meat). corn Willy, (red horse and bully beef) are equally nauseating, as are hash, oatmeal, and beans. Bread pudding is another despised dish. The artillerymen call it "artillery pudding." They say after the K. P. cleans the m kitchen the cook uses anything and everything for the mixture that the K. P. has gathered up. They have turned against carrots and rice too, with good reason. I went with a colonel long ago to the Haviland factories to help him select some china for his wife. As we looked about, I spied a pretty and unusual dish. The colonel admired it too, so, I asked Mr. Haviland what it was for. The answer came, "It is a rice dish." The colonel turned quickly, actually nauseated, as he said: "If my wife ever serves me rice, I'll leave home." The thought came to me, if colonels feel so, how must back privates feel?—An American Navy Muse in The Literary Digest.
He was a very small boy. Paddy was his dog, and Paddy was nearer to his heart than anything on earth. When Paddy met swift and hideous death on the turnip road the boy's mother trembled to break the news. But it had to be, and when he came home from school she told him simply:
Mental Lapses
He took it very quietly. All day it was the same. But five minutes after he had gone to bed there echoed through the house a shrill and sudden lamentation. His mother rushed up stairs with solicitude and pity.
"Paddy has been run over and killed."
"Nurse says," he sobbed, "that Paddy, has been run and killed."
"No, but—but I didn't know you said Paddy. I —I thought you said daddy!" -Montreal Journal of Commerce.
"But, dear I told you that at dinner, and you didn't seem to be troubled at all."
"How much being in the army has improved your boy Joah!"
"Come to notice," said Farmer Corntosel, "you are right. I hadn't considered it that way. I was too busy think'in about how much Josh's bein' in it had improved the Army."—Washington Star.
The women who have been prosecuted for marrying several soldiers to get their allowances may be said to have husbanded their resources.—London Opinion.
