Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students in the Department of Journalism, the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phoies, Bell K. U. 25 and #6.
The Daily Kansan sims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the university, the University to play to be clean; to be cheerful; to be questioned; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university, the students of the University.
THURSDAY, FEB. 6, 1919
RESCINDING OLD ACTION
The protest of University juniors and seniors against a war measure which, they declared, had outlived its usefulness now seems to have been abundantly justified.
The department of physical education has agreed that a return to the pre-war requirements for gymnastium work by upperclassmen should take effect immediately, and by the new ruling of the University Senate only freshmen and sophomores, according to the requirements of the different schools, will need to enroll for work in physical education.
Now that the Senate has come to the conclusion that the protests of the upperclassmen were well founded, it is only to be regretted more that the 'conclusion could not have been reached before the beginning of the present quarter. After much fuss and delay the subject of the controversy between the faculty and students is ex-
actly at the point from which it started. But in the meantime great inconvenience, and in some cases hardships, have resulted from the rescinded ruling.
Students who were forced to carry extra work felt that the requirements were too heavy. A great many managed to dodge the exercise periods and those who did not do so felt that the system was unjust. In some cases suspension from the University was the result of failure to comply with a ruling that is now recognized as unsuccessful.
The attitude finally taken by the Senate, however, is one that is laudable and no doubt student opinion will command it.
With the recent change in weather the campus pensimist is now predicting the appearance of white cotton gloves on the Hill.
CLOSING HOUR OF DANCES
The dance situation has been relieved somewhat by the Senate action allowing one formal dance of each established student organization to last until one o'clock in the morning.
While it would be decidedly unwise to let any and every dance continue until one o'clock, the extension of time for a few seems commendable. The more important parties of the University, the established, annual affairs that have become almost traditional, should be more than an ordinary party. The new ruling will make them bigger dances and give them more of the prestige that is proper theirs.
Action as regards the admission
price of dances was postponed by the usual custom of referring the question to a committee. This committee is made up of the Student Interests Committee and the Auditing Committee of the University Senate.
The price has been fixed at $1.50 a couple. This price has been attacked by some students as being too low for the bigger parties.
If all dances of the University are to be put on the same level as to price and hours, the traditionally "big" dances will be lost and become members of the more commonplace class. Students should have one party they can look on more proudly than others, as an affair that really is a social "event."
For the students who care to attend such a party, one dance should be arranged for a higher price than the usual舞. Enough students would support it to make it practical, and its social importance is so great that it should be kept up.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
Blessed is the student who can repeat the ten commandments after flunking a history quiz.
The best argument against fraternities seems to be that a certain clothing company has named its product Frat Clothes.
A news report says that the 322 Division is wintering on the Rhine. And even in these times of food conservation we didn't believe so many men could do it.
It matters not what your ancestors were—it's what you are that counts. If we tried getting by because of our ancestors most of us would be in the zoo.
With a name like theirs no wonder the Bolshevik got in bad right off the bat.
On account of current high prices,
"bringing home the bacon" is at
present obsolete even with the sport
writers.
The substitution of chops and steaks by wieners at many restaurants seems to indicate that things are going from bad to wurst.

Discovered by Readers of the
University Daily Kansan
When Robinson Crusoe was wrecker all alone
On all islands lay out in the gulf.
He didn't sit down on the sands with a groan,
all alone On an island far out in the sea.
And murmur, "Poor, unlucky me!"
He started to work right away with
And builted the first bungalow.

VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 25—I have
nolls illustration about volka.
I drank a bottle.
When I was a child I opened a bottle of horse liniment once, and thought I'd taste it.
The Bolshevist government has just proclaimed the country "wet" again. But I can't for the life of me see why anybody should ever want to drink
The memory of that mistake is with me still and vodka is worse than horse liniment!
The Russians drink it in little glasses; about two thimblefuls at a time. They never stop to taste it, or the stuff couldn't go any farther.
Vodka is made from wheat or rye,
and is 50 per cent pure alcohol.
It is almost awe-inspiring to watch some of the Russian officers drink it by the half tumblerful and yet retain their senses and dignity.
It is almost against the law to sell vodka or cognac, so the cafe mangers get around the law by putting the liquor in bottles labeled "lemonade."
The program at the Acquarium, the largest cafe, is so arranged that the woman singers begin their weeny ballads along about the time the vodka takes effect. I noticed a big man alone at a table piled high with food
In the midst of one heartrendering song, his eyes began to blink, and as sure as I'm alive tears as big as rains began to fall into his soup.
This surprised me so that I looks around and found a little wizened old fellow, with his arm around another dereilest, crying for all that was in him, and, before I had time to realize, the whole place was blubbering
Canadians have dubbed the place the "Fish Pond."—Peggy Hall in the Cleveland Press.

Editor Kansan:
What has become of the old time K. U. pen, and where are the Kansas cheerleaders? In the three year there has been no cheering and the crowd has clearly died out. The team fights but the crows instead of cheering.

Saturation night a fan on the north side of the court bawled a player out for a bad shot. That is not the K, U. spirit. This same fan did no cheering. Kansas should have a cheerler in the center cheerleaders in name only. The crowd would support the team if given the proper leadership.
stance, he found himself shifted just before Christmas to Paris, and, sliding down to one of the shops on the Rue de Rivolì, he possessed himself of the sacred book.
Kansas is farther behind the schools of the Valley than our team in playing. Kansas has a losing team this year but the cheering of the crowd is an absolute fake. The team does their best but the crowd does not even make a try.
Let's have more ginger at the next game.

THE SERGEANT AND Tiny Tim Ever since the sergeant was five years old he had observed Christmas Day by reading Dickens' "The Christmas Carol." It began when he used to hear his father read aloud under the evening lamp and continued when he could lie in front of the fire and spell the words out for himself. He might forget this tribal custom till Christmas came, but there was the book always at hand on the shelf. This until Christmas approached in 1917, and he found himself in Brittany with December waning fast and not a sign of a copy in the outfit nor a trace of a translation in the little village. Then, by a freak of circum-
Now he is on the Rhine. There stared him in the face the prospect of having to read the Christmas story in Germany. It was had enough to start out like this: "Maryland war to, damit wilt er wir anfragen." It wore to the tear so it "D alte amt zu sein, dass sie too wie ei ein Turt gel". The last straw was to hear tiny Tim give this heathenn benediction: "Gott segne jeden von uns."
But it had to be gone through with. As for the rest of Herr Dickeng, it can wait till we get home. The sergeant has no mind to peruse Die Pie-blewicker'i" for instance. "I want to think of what is made to say 'Ganz recht' instead of "Wory well, sir!"—Stars and Stripes.
