Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones. Bk. K. U. 26 and 66. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate to go further than merely printing the news standing for the university, to play no favorizer, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable to be courteous; to solve problems wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university, to all, to the students of the University. THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1919 HONOR SYSTEM PLANS Perhaps one reason why the once popular population for open windows in class rooms is little heard of at the present time is the refusal of soldier-students who have recently returned from months of living in the open to allow conditions of ventilation to be what they formerly were. A further step toward the institution of the honor system in class examinations at the University of Kansas was taken Tuesday when a meeting of men students voted in favor of its adoption. With the previous endorsement of the system in a meeting of women students, apparently the student body stands together in desiring the system. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the men of the University attended the meeting. Some absences are accounted for by conflicting duties, but in most cases, perhaps, the student was content to let others decide for him, though the matter be of great importance to himself. Although the meeting of the men was not the mass meeting it should have been, the results are taken as representative of the opinion of the majority of University men. Adoption of the honor system will mean that each individual student will be responsible for his conduct in examinations. He will be placed on his honor as a man—or woman—to do the things that are right and just to himself and fellow students. According to the expression of student wishes, opinion should be so strong against dishonest practices that it well be detrimental to a person's reputation to ask for unfair help or give such aid in examinations. The plan for carrying out the honor system, as suggested in the resolution adopted by the men, seem inadvisable. It was drawn up hastily and adopted without long and serious consideration of its possibilities. A more careful survey of different aspects of the plan would, no doubt, suggest improvements. No necessity exists for the establishment of a new board, elected by the students, to have for its sole purpose the consideration of cases of students flagrantly unmindful of the ethical standards in quizzes. A commission from the two student governing associations, Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association, could be appointed to look after such cases Indeed, it is highly advisable and certainly more practical to use such a commission instead of a separate joint board. The student councils are elected to be representative bodies, and in their capacity as governing boards rightly have jurisdiction over instances of cheating. A board from these associations wouldn't have the unwieldy character of a board having for its sole function adjudication of matters that would be brought up seldom. The plan, however, was only suggested, and further action is essential before it can be declared adopted. More practical machinery for punishment of those who may abuse the privileges of the honor system may be devised, so that the benefits of the system will not be destroyed by inadvisable means of carrying it out. The desperate student who has not studied for the quiz may get comfort from the recent head-line which said that "Congress Gropes in Dark." COLLEGE WOMEN FARMERS When the call to arms took many men from the forms, Dr. Ida H. Ogilvie of Barnard College organized seventy-five women into the first unit of what has since become the Woman's Land Army, established for the purpose of relieving the farm shortage. Twenty thousand women last year devoted their time and services to helping the farmers in twenty-one states plant and harvest crops." The Department of Labor at Washington is urging that the work of the Women's Land Army be continued this year and that the organization be extended to other states. This is for the reason that the large occupation army now necessary will keep the men oversens and it is certain they will not be able to return in time to care for the crops this year. Twenty million tons of food must be saved in 1919 to help feed the millions of persons in Europe and in order to save this amount for foreign consumption, the food must be produced and America must produce it. American women are being called upon and depended upon to see that a food shortage shall not exist. Barnard College women were first in the ranks in the new army, and college women in twenty states soon followed. The women in the University of Kansas may have an opportunity to enlist in this movement this year if Doctor Ogilvie's plans for establishing a unit in the state are carried out. The preliminary training given the women enables them to do their work well. Doctor Olgivie says the health of every women who has entered the service of the land army has been improved. The new organization, from the fact that it has brought together college women and women employed in the workday world, is called one of the greatest democratic movements ever started in this country. The common cause of service has broken down barriers erected by a false estimation of education. Freshmen at Princeton are forced to wear black neck-ties and caps. A similar measure might improve the artistic ensemble on Mount Oread. It would at least eliminate the freshman who, of his own volition and without coercion, wear it bright green or red sweater. --and so we blush our deserved thought. From spaces our ships would bring in. The student with a Real Imagination says he is going to dig up his grandfather's Civil War canteen and bring it down to carry around with him to keep him from perishing of thirst. ·OUR ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Bailey Springston, with a grin: Oh, no, sir. He was just stalling around for time; trying to get by with a good line. Dr. Sherman (in Eng. 23): But do you think that Falstaff convinced the rince of his sincerity? Dr. Sherman: Can you translate?

This next time that our ship comes in its treasure trove will be our boy! more grave like the bus boy, -Bataille Kennedy in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Frieda Daun, A. B. '18, now city bacteriologist, Spokane, Wash. offers the following suggestions to students interested in an interest in diseases to enter as bacteriologists: PLANING YOUR FUTURE? Perhaps these former K. U Students can help you Are you interested in BACTERIOLOGY? Physiology, chemistry, twenty hours, bacteriology, and some premedic work are essential in preparing for this work. More practical experience in medical training and in bacteriology than is now a part of the college curriculum is needed. Salaries average from $1,200 to $1,800 for the beginner. They are practically the same as the teachers' in the West, but are better in the East. Essential qualifications for this work are a liking for science, originality, self-confidence, and the ability to get along with one's associates. Opportunities for bacteriologists are increasing. A graduate can usually get into such work through the bacteriology department. Elizabeth Fleeson, A. B., '13, M. A. '15, bacteriologist, Students' Hospital, University of Minnesota, says; Take practically the whole first two years of medicine. The remuneration for work of this kind compares favorably with teachers' salaries, and, as nearly as I can find out, this work is far better paid. Women receive from $1,200 to $1,500 for their first year's work. Annette Ashton, A. B., '77, city hathcortioriol. Wichita, advises: Enroll in as much bacteriology chemistry and medical work as pos Salaries will be from $100.00 to $175.00 a month for twelve months. Essential personal qualifications are ability to work with people, ability to keep your head and ability to be sure of yourself. The college courses necessary as a Preparation for this work are at least twenty-five hours of chemistry and fifteen hours of zoology and human The number of openings for graduates is increasing. A graduate can get into this work by going back and taking one year in bacteriology. Cora M. Downs, A. B. '15, instructor in the department of bacteriology, University of Kansas, offers the following: Events unheeded in the large march of history, yet of extraordinary and moving significance, crowd one in these mad days of war. Speaking of the part music was playing in war, a friend recalled this incident: He lives in a quiet little town near the Atlantic coast. Within a few miles is an encampment where soldiers from all over America are concentrated just before taking ship for France. There is, of course, careful military secrecy maintained. Few people know just when the regiments slip away in the darkness to embark for the great adventure. Essential personal qualifications are initiative and plenty of energy. Opening s in this work are increasing. Graduates are in many instances placed in hospitals and in private city is oratories. OLD SONGS WITH NEW MEANING One night, however, the friend was wakened by the dull sound of marching feet, along a dirt road. It was a breathless night; the song of a cricket and now again a whip-poorwill could be heard above the rhythmic beat of hundreds of young feet. Then, rising very gently to a full chorus a familiar song in tones so rich he knew it must be from a colored regiment: "God be with you till we meet again! The song rose and fell and died away as the sound of the marching feet grew remoter. He heard the crickets and the whippoorwill again, then from the camp beyond the town, soldier comrades, waked by the song ruilted. By his counsel guide, uphold you; With his sheep securely fold you; God he with you till we meet again We thought of this later in the year when crossing Lake Ontario. There were many Canadian officers and soldiers aboard, smoking and laughing on the after-deck. Some one started "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and a few men joined him. "The Long, Long Trail," but routed little interest. At last a tenor voice began: "Work, for the night is coming, "God he with you till we meet again! When life's perils thick confound you Put his Arms unfalling round you; God he with you till we meet again." He did not sleep again, the incident so touched his imagination. While their bright tints are glowing Work's daylight flies. Work, for daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Under the sunset skies, Work while the night is darkening. When man's work is oder." Before he had finished the third line, every officer and soldier in sight had joined him, and the song was repeated over and over until the landing was made on the Canadian side.

"If I had any use for a brother," replied the girl, "I could reach down under this sofa and get one right now." Philadelphia North American A mother hearing many loud and unusual noises issuing from the nursery ran upstairs to her young hopeful who she knew was there. "Whatever is the matter, Johnny?" "Oh, I have locked grandpa and Uncle Harry in the closet, and when they get a little angrier I am going to play Daniel in the lion's den."—Philadelphia North American. PREPARING FOR THE GAME She found him sitting in the middle of the floor quietly smiling to himself. AMBULANCE WOULDN'T DO A Perching hero was reckoning his exploits to a crowd of stay-at-homes. "And then the surgeon picked me up himself and laid me in the ammunition "Aw, say," interrupted one of the listeners. "Don't you mean ambulance wagon?" "Ambulance wagon, nothing! I was so full of bullets they decided I ought to go in the ammunition wagon."—Philadelphia North American. "Goodness gracious! Fifty cents for that box of strawberries?" said Mrs. Housewife to the man behind the counter at the fancy fruit shop. "Why they are such miserable, little, half-ripe things they would be sure to give us all the colli." A REAL SALESMAN "But just look at the size of the box, madam," answered the man, "you really don't get enough of them to do you any harm."—Philadelphia North American. Ted: You should be more careful about your associates. I see you traveling around with a fellow who doesn't own a car." Ned: Sure you do. I'm trying to sell him mine—Peoples Home Journal. *Expert: You bet it is mum. When I was blind, they was always handin' me counterfeit money—Peoples Home Journal. Lady: Here, my poor fellow, is a quarter for you. It must be awful to be lame; but I think it's worse to be blind. THEIR DESTINATIONS A group of workmen were talking politics, when one of the disputants turned to a friend who had remained quiet during the argument. AN EXPERT AT THE GAME "Ere, Bill," he said, "wot's you conition?" "I ain't a-coin' to say," said Bill doggedly. "Me and Hennery Green thrashed it out once before." "What did you arrive at?" asked the first. "Well," said Bill, "Henney, 'e arrived at the 'capital an' I arrived at the police station."—Ladies Home Journal. A LAND OF PROMISE The bishop was addressing the Sunday-school. In his most expressive tones he was saying: "And now, children, let me tell you a very sad fact. In Africa there are ten million square miles of territory without a single Sunday-school where little boys and girls can spend their Sundays. Now, what should we all try and save up our money and do?" And the class, as one voice, replied in estatic union, "Go to Africa!"—London Chronicle. Plymouth Jottings With this issue of the Kansan the Jottings come to an end for a little while. It would be fine to have a half column in every issue of the Kansan straight through the year. But churches like students have to watch their pocket-books. Allowances cannot be overdrawn or there is trouble. We have tried to do one thing in this column. We tried to keep the name of Plymouth before K. U. Plymouth is an institution. It is the oldest church in the community. It stands definitely for freedom to think, for liberty of conscience, for all those rights which a man educated in our time holds dear. It stands also for service. It belongs to a fellowship that has been noteworthy in its contribution to the educational life of the nation, and to the social progress of humanity. Plymouth Church is simply one of the radiating centers of truth and goodness and beauty which make up the nexus of modern Congregationalism. And we call it Plymouth rather than the Congregational Church because we want to emphasize the fact that we put the Kingdom of God steadily above denominationalism. Loyal to our own fellowship we yet believe that there is a broader and a finer loyalty to be practiced in a day like this. Edith Cavell said, "Patriotismism is not enough." She was a true patriot. Every true church member sees these days that sectarianism is by no means enough. In this column I have not hesitated to use the first person. It has been a sort of intimate chat with the readers of the Kansan. But Plymouth is not Plymouth's pastor - Plymouth is something for more than that. Pastors come and pastors go, Plymouth continues. This column sought simply to put before you some of the characteristic ideas of, Plymouth folks. Yours very cordially. ROSS W. SANDERSON, Pastor of Plymouth.
