The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news in Kansas; to hold faculty in the university, to play no favorizer; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be kind, to be wise; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to all, to serve to the students of the University.

WINNING FUTURE STUDENTS
During the five-day vacation following quizzing it is the intention of a majority of students of the University not living in Lawrence to visit their homes. Many of them live in towns that will be represented in the state high school basketball tournament to be held in Lawrence late in March.
The importance of this tournament in winning new students and friends for the University is understood by most upperclassmen, but some of the younger students, no doubt, fail to appreciate the value of the meet.
The high school basketball tournament offers a chance for many high school students of Kansas to see their state University actually at work. It also gives them an opportunity to be imbued with the spirit of friendship and cordiality typical of the University of Kansas.
The basketball tournament can become of greater value than it is at present if every student now at the University will exert himself in the endeavor to make the visit of our guests a pleasant and profitable one. To a large extent this will be done on the campus and in Lawrence during the tournament, but the interest of more high school students can be excited by discreet activity during the short vacation between semesters.
All students who return home during this vacation should endeavor to interest every high school student in the home town in the meet. Many boys and girls will attend who had not thought of it before, if they are given interest in it by present students of the University.
Every high school student who attends the meet is a prospective student of the University. Upon these students, largely, depends the future student body of the institution. The University student who wins a new supporter of K. U. does the institution a favor of great importance.
"Feed the Brute" and "The Neighbors," runs an advertisement announcing two short plays. During times like the present when the h c o 1 is so important, perhaps The Neighbors would rather be fed before the Brute.
EXEUNT THE STAGS
The man without a date will not be able to attend Varsity dances, according to a ruling by the joint committee from the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Governing As.
ociation which has charge of these dances.
Dancers will be relieved of the annoyance of the presence of a group of stags on the sidelines. Friends and brothers will not be forced to give away dances to dateless men.
This rule will prevent men from attending the dances without paying, hanging around and looking on, and probably taking a dance or two. Their presence has never been desired either by the management of the dance or by the dancers. They have been treated tolerantly at Varsity dances and many of them have been allowed to remain on the floor. At larger University parties their attendance has been more strictly hindered.
With Varsity dances and larger dances closed to him the University stag will have either to get a date or remain at home. He no longer will cause his friends to sit out numbers in order to give him a chance at the floor.
The stags are going, but in their go-
ing, there is little sorrow.
FOR SERVICES RENDERED
FOR SERVICES RENDERED Credit to returned soldier-students of the University shows the progressive spirit and sense of fairness of the institution. Almost all colleges and universities over the country have granted credit or are working on a plan that will justify reward and help their students who have aided in the world war. Apparently popular opinion favors it greatly.
It is, no doubt, a difficult problem for universities to decide upon an accurate and just plan for each individual case. It is likely that many cases cannot be worked out mechanically by a set rule. A "common sense" committee might be a wise addition to any artificial plan drawn up. Again, the question arises as to how much credit will be given. Will the University officials give only enough credit to make the act a positive one, or will they be more lenient?
What have these returning soldiers done? What they missed? Just what is their status now? They have gone through a strenuous period. They do not lack for praise for their actual labor in helping to win the war; this is showered profusely from many sources. But where these men do not receive just encouragement is in the matter of returning to school. It is not an easy matter to again concentrate upon academic work. The mental problem alone of deciding to return is hard for most of them.
For these reasons, the number of hours given should be quite lenient. The soldier will appreciate the help given him. He realizes that the men who did not enter the service are now ready to go out and take the same job that he would have had were it not for the interference of the war. Perhaps the credit given will enable him to graduate earlier. In one sense it is not help the University is giving, it is the payment of a just debt or obligation.
If you have ever seen, heard of, or suffered from the subways that operate in our town, it may interest you to know that the present marvelous crowding of fast trains in those roaring tunnels is largely due to the fact that a New Mexico cattle ranch rent bankrupt some twenty years ago. A man named Turner, born in Epping Forest, near London, and raised in the wool business, was manager of that ranch, and its failure forced him to start life over again as a car repairer on the Santa Fe Railroad. A bad wreck interested him in air brakes, and when his untimely death occurred last winter, W. V. Turner was manager of engineering for the Westinghouse concerns. Over four hundred patents had been granted him and he had a hundred or more pending. His two-volume work on "Train Control" is the authority in its field, and he was honored by numerous engineering societies. How would you educate a man to invent a device that makes the fire that makes them leaders of progress? No one knows, but a free field for the best that is in them is almost all that the community, however enlightened, can do for such men. Fitness is in some, not in others, and the function of education is to develop and help it—Collier's.

ANSWERS
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Last night I met a junior who thought the Senate was composed of "about ten" members of the faculty, and another junior who thought there might be "about twenty-five" members in Senate. Doubtless there are others.
I would suggest that the Kansan publish a full list of the members of the Senate. The students would probably recognize many names of faculty members whom they know and like and whom they do not know are on the Senate. It would show the students how many real friends they have on the Senate. Senate members who from the student point of view, are not fully in sympathy with the students. Please note that I do not say that any are not.
Perhaps, if the students would stop condemning the entire Senate as a body for the things the students do not get as quickly as they would like, and would realize that large bodies must necessarily move slowly, the friction of recent days would be eliminated. Try publishing the names.
Faculty
Membership: The University Senate consists of the Chancellor, the Vice president, the deans and the directors of divisions, the Adviser of Women, the Registrar, the University Marshal, and all professors and associate professors who give not less than one half their time to resident University work.
According to Prof. L. E. Sisson, secretary of the Senate, there are about 105 members in that body at present. Filter

Robert Burns is one of the fellows we have sadly missed during the past four years. Think what he could have done in the way of answering Lissauer's "Hymn of Hate," or revising his "Address to the Devil," to make it fit the Kaiser, whom he certainly would not have called "Holy Willie." It is generally said that the Scottish dialect is the supreme lingo for the English and whisky; but there is another emotion that Scots are good at expressing, and that is blazing, contemptuous hate of cruelty and cowardice.
Burns came very near being a American peet. In 1786, after a dis appointment in love—a matter in which he was not generally disappointed—he engaged passage on a vessel for the West Indies. Then he changed his mind and decided to stay in Killmarch and console himself by printing his poems. If he had got as far as the West Indies. He would have gone to the States and probably would have gone to Ben Franklin in Philadelphia to get his book published. What jovial cracks he and Ben would have had!
Burn's fame is secure, for he is almost the only poet who has ever had a cigar named after him. Also, he is probably the only poet who has lured the stair "Encyclopodia Britannica" into a joke. That work says that "his thirst for stimulants passed all bars." — Collier's.
