The Daily Kansan sims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorizer, to play no favorizer, to be clean, to be cheerful, to be kind, to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1919.
The university instructor may well be encouraged and dream of life on easy street when he sees the head of an educational institution carve a generous slice from a melon.
DON'T LET IT RUST
University cheerleaders have begun coming out to the basketball games, but this is not all that is necessary for real spirit at the games. Students must show their interest in the sport by giving the team the support of their presence.
The cheerleaders attended the Polytechnic game Wednesday night and tried to lead the crowd in the Rock Chalk. The old faithful fans were present and did their best, but the crowd was so small that the cheering was not forceful.
The cheerleaders say, "How can we lead them if they won't come out for the games?" It is up to the students to support the team or let school spirit rust.
Now comes the information that the famous "shortest speech of the war" was not spoken by General Pershing, but by Colonel Stanton of his staff. Some persons say the world will always credit it to the general, and remind us that General Sherman asserted he never said the three-word sentence always repeated in his name.
"KIDS" APPEAR AGAIN
A few students who revel in boisterous scrambling are again infesting the student residence district, according to reports from sorority and fraternity houses.
The singing of these serenaders is not pleasing either in harmony or content. They are not the type so much enjoyed on warm spring nights, but from evidences are men not quite themselves.
It will be remembered that a bunch of such singers carried their excitement to the extreme last year, were recognized and had to apologize for their conduct. They were admittedly thoughtless and "kiddish."
Surely no students want to perform annoying acts that later they might have to admit were "kid stunts."
One of the surest ways to make a soldier mad is to ask him about the good eats they have in the army.
The enrollment of the University of Oregon shows an increase of 16 per cent over that of last year. Unbelievable when it is remembered that
the S. A. T. C. was established there last fall!
It is not uncommon for a couple to get along like turtle doves—snapping turtle.
One of the greatest surprises and novelties a future budding literary genius call pull will be to write a war poem without employing the use of three or four cuss words.
Campus Opinion
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why doesn't the University maintain special classes for students who cannot spell, so that they may at least write letters correctly?
When grandma was a girl, children were taught readin', written' and 'rithmic't. Young ladies upon being graduated from the fashionable "finishing" schools were able not only to write a polite and courteous note to a friend, but also were able to spell all the words correctly.
When mother was a girl, spelling matches and spelling bees were the vogue. Mother could spell every word in her speller from one green cover to the ether. But her daughter—the girl of today—grownam's timid first grade efforts far surpassed this young woman's spelling. She sits through the lectures taking notes which resemble the rocky letters to his "dere Mable."
As the average University girl's letters are read at home and Dad and Mother learn that "Yesterday in Frazier Hall I noticed a bawled head man standing in the angel of the starway busy soddering some of the melle on the sealing." We hope Dad and Mother do not laugh; we hope they see the pitiful side, the utter and absolute tragic side of the matter.
Poor spellers exist, but not in as large numbers as the University of Kansas faculty is compelled to observe. Carelessness is the foundation for the foolish mistakes the students make in spelling. Anyone with a high-school education would feel deeply humiliated if he were quoted as saying that Washington crossed the Riney in 1492. He would feel the grace of any other imaceur, but the experience of his career goes biltley through his higher education misspelling the commonest words and covering himself with the ridicule* of the outside world which allows no discount for student excuses.
Carelessness and indifference make a combination which, if not carefully watched will instil' into the future generations a diargue for correct spelling which will make grandmain's efforts seem a foolish waste of time.

Dear Roomie:
He sent me a doden roses for a valentine, but he sent his other girl a five-pound box of candy. Which of us do you think he likes best?
May.
Dear May:
With roses eighty cents apiece, and candy at a dollar a pound, the odds seem to favor you slightly. However a college boy's affections are a somewhat uncertain proposition, and I hesitate to reassure too much.
Roomie
When your fraternity brother comes up on the campus and informs you in stern tones that the back of your neck is dirty, what can you do?
The correct thing to do in a case like that is to cut your next class and go home and improve your appearance. It is very incorrect to appear in public in such a condition. Roomie.
Dear Paul:
Dear Roomie:
TRAINING FOR PEACE
It is to congress that the country must look and must call for action that will give us the system for which General Wood and Congressman Kahn are pleading, and for which, in their lifetime. Theodore Roosevelt and Augustus P. Gardner pleaded with equal earnestness. However fruifruit the achievements may be, however successful the president's trip to the old world may prove, a system of universal training for national service will be none the less needed, no matter how many treaties we sign. For every treaty adds not
TRAINING FOR PEACE
only national privileges but national obligations, and, as Gen. Wood has been telling us for a long time, "in a republic such as ours equality of opportunity goes hand in hand with equality of obligation." We shall not earn or safeguard the one save as we shoulder cheerfully the other.

"THE WINGS OF THE SHIPS"
At the watchword's change,
When the wind's note shifts,
And the skies grow strange.
—Ex
And the skies grow stubble.
And the white squall drifts.
But the sun shines bright.
And the sea burns bright.
And the flight of them past
They scatter as wild swans parting
Adrift on the wan green waste . . .
But the sun stands fast.
Of the snow-soft swarm of serene wings polished and afloat in the light.
And the flight of them飞
Is no more than the flight
Like flowers upon flowers
Like snow-colored petals
wrinkle blossomlike butterflies hover
and glimmer through the strokes of
their wings.
They flutter, a legion of flowers on the wing, through the field of grass.
Shed grace on the day.
In a festival way When hours after hours
From storm that unsettles The flower as the tree.
Through the furrowless field
the horizontal field
Where the foam-blossoms blow
And the secrets are sealed
of their harvest below
They look* in the path of the sun-
beams, as cloaks or as blossoms.

An American lieutenant hailed a passing doughboy, "Can you speak any French?" he inquired, pointing to a dozen or so women and children who had gathered round him at an American outpost on the frontier, "I can't make out exactly what they want."

After speaking with the refugees,
the doughboys replied with a grin:
"Why, Loot, the little girl there

The leutenant blushed and granted the request. -Stars and Stripes.
"Now, boys," said the teacher in the juvenile Sunday School class "our lesson today teaches us that if we are good while here on earth, when we die we will go to a place of everlasting bliss. But suppose we are bad, then what will 'become of us?"

He was a very small boy. Paddy was his dog, and Dogpady was nearer to his heart than anything on earth. When Paddy met swift and hideous death on the turnippe road the boy's mother trembled to him. But it had to be, and when he came from school he told him simply.

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 lamination. His mother rushed upstairs with solicitude and pity.
"Paddy has been run over and killed."
"But, dear, I told you that at dinner," and didn't seem to _be_ able at all.
"Nurse says," he sobbed, "that Padde has been rpm over and killed."
Twenty acres of uncleared timber land north of Urbana have been purchased by the University of Illinois for the use of the departments of botany, zoology and entomology.

KNOW YOURSELF
David to Solomon: (I Kings; 11:2)
I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong and shew thyself a man.
Students in a University are likely to drift into the mind of thinking they must do as others do around them. Sometimes they know better and sometimes not. But the man who does not fear to do as he thinks is right is the man who will succeed.
Bv Hazel Ernst...
One cannot know what is right if he goes about with his eyes shut. He must learn to discriminate. Often he will find himself doing the very thing he condemns in others.. The case looks different because he is looking at it from the inside.
The man who has practiced watching his own actions as well as those of others knows when he is wrong and shows that he is a man by guarding himself from repeating the mistake. Others about him will see the example he is setting and remedy their own mistakes.
