The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at the University to go further than more martyric printing the news, but ideally for a bourgeoisly办 plan, a favoritter, to be clean; to be cheerful, to charitable; to serve the university; to solve serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 19, 1919.
R O T C ADOPTED
In recommending that a Reserve Officers' Training Corps be established at the University, the Senate took action agreeable with student sentiment at the first of this quarter. The lapse of time between then and now has probably changed the minds of many men, and the corps may not be supported by the requisite number of men. Action that the Peace Conference might take against preparedness or for the League of Peace probably would annul the value of the R.O.T.C. Hence it is that when the corps is finally recommended, student opinion is adverse to it, while at the beginning of its discussion it was wanted.
SELF-STYLED BOLSHEVIK
Agitation has begun in New York to rename Greeley Square Ypres Square. If this is done, it will be well to hold classes to instruct policemen and residents in the seven preferred pronunciations.
There has appeared on the campus a group of self-styled Bolshevik. They are the members of that school to which the balance of the University has learned to look for originality of ideas. The purpose of calling themselves Bolshevik is evidently to show their distaste for the existing order of things.
While their purpose, if carried out sensibly, may be laudable, it is unfortunate that their actions should class them as extremists, and that they should choose as their badge the red, popularly symbolized as being opposed to the principles and ideals of the United States.
AN ENCHANTING RHYTHM
Gum-chewing is perhaps the most difficult of the social graces a young lady has to acquire. It is an accomplishment, which, like the pipe organ and the formal reception manner, requires years of patient practice.
The beginner who has chewed only occasionally since her hair-ribbon days finds it a difficult art to master. There is only one way for her to become an expert—practice. If you wish to be perfect in the line, practice.
Buy a box of gum at reduced rates, and be ready to work at all hours. Each morning, on rising, take three sticks of gum and proceed with a slow, steady chew. When you go to breakfast, place the gum on the rim of your coffee sauce. It will wash off china, but it is harder to remove gum from the chair or the clothtable.
On the way up the Hill, chew it
march time. This will develop your speed and accuracy. During class, cultivate a languid, silent movement, in order not to interfere with the lecture. Down-town at the picture show in the afternoon you can work up your speed again. That is a good place to practice "popping" your gum. If you can pop it so loudly that the man across the aisle stares at you while the orchestra is playing its best, you have achieved real fame as an artist.
The most important thing, however, is not noise, but constancy. Never remove your gum at night; Wad it up in your right cheek and sleep on it, so that you can practice conveniently if you happen to wake before the alarm goes off.
Campus Opinion

To the Kansan:
During the past few weeks especially, there has been a wholesale discussion among the student body, upon the status of the social and political affairs of the school, those affairs which are the life of the school and the medium through which much of its influence is transmitted to the various people and concerns which have its interests at heart. This discussion has given rise to many different ideas but they may all be summed up in a single opinion which seems to prevail throughout the whole. That opinion simply in this, the students of the University maintained that it is the right to have moral life of their social and political activities connected with, subject to the control of the Senate only in regard to those matters which affect the schedule of the University.
For the Senate to step in and assume absolute control of the life of the school means ultimately the complete paralysis of its activities. To throttle down the well meant efforts of those who make up the rank and file of the school does not have a tendency to stimulate; it serves to choke out the few remaining vestiges of life that remain. The result is sure. Within a short time that part of the life of the University which brand it as a leader and which puts the stamp of popularity upon it will die. By this it is not meant to infer that the Senate is unfit for the task which it is attempting to assume. Student life is something which belongs to the students themselves, something in which they take the greatest pride, and in the development of which they rejoice. Any control thereof does not regulate; it stifles that life.
The writer if this article spent his active days on the Hill in the days these affairs were in the hands of the students; when there were formal parties put on by men who were elected for the purpose of giving us a good entertainment; true, they charged us for it but we got what wanted; and we got what needed. We paid a good price for such than to pay a dollar and a half for what we don't want. In those days we danced until one o'clock and the health and scholastic standing of the students were just as good then as now. The money which was expended in putting on the University parties was spent in a manner that suited the desire of those who had it. The men who put on the parties and made some money were entitled to receive the salary can it make to the Senate how the student spends his money? Is it not better to spend it in that way than to blow it in Kansas City?"
When all is said and done these things all add to the spirit of the school. Take them way and see what happens to the brand of pep that made old K. U. in days gone by the Yale of the West; take them away and see what happens to the bubbling life which has made K. U. the leader among the schools of the Missouri Valley. We are asking for what ours, what we have proved to be ours and absolutely able to handle. This is no idle statement but a body bears testimony to that fact. The Senate may rest assured that the whole student body, including every organization on the Hill, will unite in the defense of their liberty and initiative in those matters, which to them, mean the democracy of the school.

As To Your Future
Perhaps these former K. U Students can help you.
Fanny Alberta Cady, B.S., 1918, now student nurse at the Nurses' Home, City Hospital, Blackwell's Isle of Wight, City, offers the following hints:
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN NURSING?
Special training for nursing may be received in the New York City Hospital. Board, lodging, and laundry are free. There is no charge for tuition. Ten dollars a month is allowance and the nurse must furnish for books and incidentals. During probation period there is no allowance and the nurse must furnish her probation uniforms. After acceptance in the school, uniforms are furnished by the hospital.
, Concerning the college courses as a preparation for this work, she says, "Nursing presents such a wide and varied field that it is said by our instructors that everything you ever learned will be of use." The following courses are of especial help: physiology and anatomy chemistry (elementary and physiological), bacteriology, homeopathy, (very distinctly) diatomology, criminology, psychology (including abnormal), economics and history, hygiene and sanitation, eugenics, public speaking, English, languages", and ethics.
She also advises the adoption, in the University curriculum, of such courses as history of nursing, materia medica, medical lectures, nursing ethics, bandaging, and demonstrations in practical nursing.
The salaries are better than the salaries paid teachers,
The essential qualifications are:
Physical good health and the knowledge of maintaining it by right living.
Regular life during training usually improves the physical condition.
Mental qualifications are a liberal education, judgment, memory skills.
Mental qualifications are sympathy, dignity, courtesy, obedience, patience and above all, the quality of "stick-to-itness."
The number of openings is increasing, especially in public health work and in school and industrial nursing; the need for some hospital training school.
To the girl who likes science or is interested in social work, nursing offers an excellent field for work, study and experience. Social workers, with nursing experience are valuable and many opportunities are open to registered nurses.
Jessie Len Messick, A.B., '18, Hill City, makes the following suggestions to students who desire to enter the profession of nursing:
The work may be entered by government appointment or through hospital work.
As a preparation for nursing
the following courses are suggested; phys-
ical education; social interaction; and
The remuneration compared with the teacher's salary is about the same, especially after the course is completed.
Essential qualifications for the work are ability to adapt oneself to other personalities, optimism, efficiency and the ability to obey orders.
