The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at the University to go for longer than merely printing the news by standing for it. Students play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be polite; to be gracious; to devove more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE PUBLICITY TEST
"Five minutes in the wide, wide world" ought to be enough for anybody.
The Daily Kansan has asked the University Senate that one of its reporters be permitted to attend the meetings of the Senate and report them for the paper. In making this request the Kansan merely desires to give University news to the entire University.
Although the senate has not considered the petition, some members object to the admittance of a reporter, saying it would hinder the proceedings of that body.
The University Senate is a legislative body with power to legislate for the entire University. It is composed of certain ranks of professors and officers of the University. A large part of the faculty and the entire student body are not in or directly represented in the Senate. The Senate is in the position to the whole University as the legislature is to the state.
The proceedings of a legislative body must be made public to its constituency. Nowhere in the history of the nations of the world can be found a successful legislative body which has existed for a number of years and kept its proceedings secret. Should the legislative body of the University of Kasas be an exception?
It is true that the Kansan has access to the laws passed by the Senate. But laws in themselves approach the absolute zero of news. Nor is it possible for the University at large to look at the acts of the Senate in the same light as it would if the reasons for the conclusions were made public.
Possibly some speeches that are now made in the Senate probably would not be made—but, is this not for the good of the University? It is possible to conceive at this democratic age that the actions of a body legislating for a larger body of people would be better if kept secret. If the Senate acts for the Senate alone, its actions should be kept secret; but if its actions are for the entire University? the whole University should hear of them.
Discretion certainly must be used by the newspaper in handling the work of the Senate. There are some things said in a legislative body, in themselves harmless, which if published would do harm. The Daily Kansan, however, which handles the proceedings of all other University organizations, certainly is capable of handling the proceedings of the Senate with discretion.
Walt Mason has a poem on "cookies" in the "Jayhawkerinfrance", a paper published by the 187th Infantry in France Kansas Day. Surely Walt's experience with his subject was not gained in Kansas!
PAGE THE GREASE
"The high cost of living," observes the professor of economics, who had just got warmed up to his subject at 432 a.m., "is caused by——"
"G-r-R-r-r-r-r! Bang! bang! and O-O-O-O-O-O-h-h-h," came the sound of the patient street car ascending Mount Oread from behind Green hall. "As I was saying," continued the professor.
"Skrrrrreeee! Skrrrrreeee!" wailed the car, reaching the Chemistry Building.
"The high cost of living," shouted the instructor, "is due——"
The car was coming along under his window. Its voicelessness increased all the way to the full stop at the sidewalk. Then the car did its noblest, and relapsed to momentary silence.
"Ah," cried the professor, "The high cost of living."
But then the car resumed its journey southward, and the rest was lost. "And still," said the professor, wearly, "They ask us why we do not teach more in an hour."
PERSONAL CONFERENCES
Faculty members are coming more and more to see the value of personal conferences with students regarding their class work. Electrical engineering instructors have adopted the plan of individual conferences with each student. Some other instructors are using the same plan.
The system may involve inconvenience and extra time for both students and instructors, but is valuable in promoting an understanding between them and in giving the student an idea of the faults and good qualities of his work. It makes instruction more personal than it could be through classroom lectures and recitations only.
TAKING CARE OF THEM.
Demobilization of the army is almost as big a problem as the mobilizing itself was a year ago. Close to 300,000 men are being discharged each month and practically every man in the twelve combatant divisions which did not leave the United States will be出 of the service by the last of them. In addition, there will be for the discharge a return of thousands of overseas veterans in March, the demobilization to continue through the following months until all the overseas men have been returned to their homes.
But the dumping of so many unemployed men into labor fields is creating one of the most serious situations which has ever confronted the country. Normally spring brings a big demand for labor but the times are not normal and the returned soldiers will find themselves thrust upon a world which already has filled the positions which they left.
Many officers are advocating that only as many men be discharged as industry can handle and that demobilization be halted or at least temporarily. Industry will work out which will be more favorable to the returning soldiers.
THE VALOR OF THE EAST SIDE
A recent letter home from a staff officer in France glories in the splendid dittel and loyal Americanism of the men drafted from the motley foreign-born population of New York's East Side. An editorial in the New York "Times" recently devoted a column to one of them. Abraham Krotohsinsky (said to have been a barber), by General Pershing for his heicoptic in aiding in the rescue of "the lost battalion" in the Argonne Forest.
In the meantime the employers can at least weed out the inefficient who have been holding jobs merely "because of he war."
"This division is made up of the puny East-Siders who a New York dude thought could never hold their own with the sturdy sons of the West. We have got something to be done," said Michael melting-pot of New York typified and glorified. Our burial lists show the names of the Jew, the Italian, the Russian, the Polack, the Irishman, the German, fighting for the free
The following paragraphs in the above-mentioned letter are of more than one line.
Government which has aided their lives for their country, and in so doing have become real Americans—no matter where they came from and how they spell their names—as good Americans as those of us whose ancestors fought in our wars (the writer is one of these).
"War is the great equalizer, the real melting-pot. It has welded for us a great people united by the common bond of sacrifice and devotion, courage and suffering, in a common cause. It is our regeneration, our rebirth, a revolution such as will never be over. This will not be realized till after the business has been finished up." —The Outlook.

DISCRIMINATING
Two young physicians in a Western city, who were struggling to get a foothold in their profession, met one day and exchanged views touching interest. Presently the talk turned to the last case one of them had handled.
IN THE NICK OF TIME
“Yes,” remarked the young medico, “the operation was just in the nick of time. The staff were short hours the patient would have recovered without it.”'^4 Argonaut.

UNWORKED MINES By Dr. E. A. Bleck
Every now and then dispatches in the newspapers tell of abandoned mines in various parts of the country that are no longer bone work for workers and not opportunity or measure of explosions that have compelled the work to cease.
Unworked mines of tenderness, love and truth everywhere! They lie at our feet, brush our elbows, stare into our unseeing eyes, sing their songs to our unhearing ears. But we are here, looking for a look far from home for it. We search for a field, hoping to find it when, after all, it is near our side.
In like manner there are unexplored and never failing mines of untold treasure in the life of every man, woman and child with whom we come in contact. No man has yet discovered good that there is in his fellow men.
You remember the story of the Indian Prince who sold his farm that he might have the means to search the wide world over for diamonds and precious stones, and then, returning home in his old age, empty handed and penniless, found that for which he had searched had been discovered and develop on the farm he once owned. Before For happiness abroad, seek it in the unworked mines of your friends' hearts, and then when you go abroad, because you have learned the secret of finding happiness at home you will find it wherever you go.
Tenight and tomorrow, as you go about your work, open your eyes and ears to the unmistakable goodness that is at your side, and you'll be surprised to find that in those you love there are hidden mines of affection simply waiting the call of your heart to bring them forth.

AID TO TRADE EDUCATION
If what is known as the Caldwell Bill should be passed by the present Congress, the result would be such a stimulus to vocational and trade training as we have never known in his country.
The government has accumulated something like 100 million dollars' worth of tools and machinery in its rush to produce munitions and war material. Now that there is no further use for most of this stock, it would naturally be scrapped or thrown on the market for whatever it would bring. In addition, the tool will provide fast, instead, the tools to training workers, particularly crippled soldiers home from the war, and to replace equipment which in some cases colleges have worn out in their rush of war work.
Dr. David Snedden, president of the Dr. National Society for Vocational Education, is supporting the Caldwell Bill, on the ground that it would make possible the training of a considerable number of trade workers; for whose education there has been no provision heretofore. He is joined by manufacturers of machinery, who say that if the stock is sold it will bring the government little, but it will serve to check the demand for new machinery in the prevent work and taking on more men just at a time when the need for employment is greatest. The most lasting effect of the bill, however, would come from putting the Congress of the United States definitely behind vocational training—Brooklyn Eagle.
