The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students; it goes further than merely讲新闻 the news by attaching to the ideals the University wants for its students to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to all, to serve to the University, to teach the students of the University.

Just as college professors are about to get into the limelight, some kill-joy of a statistician comes forward with the data to prove that of thirty-seven thousand college professors in this country only twenty-seven have been unpatriotic during the war. This puts the pedagogue back in his former position of a mild sort of person.
MILITARY EDUCATION TESTED
Major-General Leonard Wood's plan for universal military training is more than a hypothesis. It is actually being tested at Camp Funston and promises to be a successful method of carrying on education and military training together, to the benefit of the men as well as the good of the military service.
The Student Army Training Corps is a thing of the past. Reserve Officers' Training Camps are being tried in many educational institutions The "Wood plan" of national service goes a step farther in that it does not require physical training at a time it will interfere with mental work. This objection General Wood aims to overcome by giving intensive training during a certain period each summer instead of the old plan of five or six hours drill a week when studying is the prime consideration.
In the operation of the plan as it is being tamed at Funston, physical requirements take a minor place. Classes in reading, writing, and arithmetic are the elementary courses given to the so-called illiterates in the camp. Spanish, insurance, investments, and banking are offered to more advanced students. Vocational courses, formerly considered purely military, but now modified so as to be useful in civil life, are given at Manhattan as well as Funston. These include blacksmithing, motor repairing, leather working, steam fitting, cooking and radio telegraphy.
Five lecture courses, namely, American history, American biography, American geography, American literature and American government, are arranged with an object of presenting national ideals and the advantages of our form of government.
Included in the scheme are courses in physiology, sanitation, and hygiene, games such as boxing and wrestling, besides dramatic representation. Medical corps officers and athletic and social directors who are familiar with the work conduct the classes.
Such is the plan that has been worked out at Manhattan and Camp Funston. Less than a month was necessary to turn yesterday's vision into the working organization of today.
To select the officers in the camp who were capable of giving instruction, to choose the most desirable places for meeting, and to classify the 27,000 students according to their capabilities was no easy task, but so well has it been done that the approval of the plan is apparent.
It may be that the "Wood plan" is the best answer to the American cry for universal training.
THE ART OF CONVERSATION
Pessimistic persons who declare that conversation is fast becoming a lost art are not acquainted with the genus student, as he is found on Mount Oread. His speech is ready, facile, quick, picturesque, never-failing, and unending. Some criticize it for being colloquial and slang, but no one dares accuse it of being scant.
The student discusses everything. He hails his friends on the campus, walks along with them arm in arm, and always has something which he classifies as "keen dope" to relate to them. He has heard everything from the report that dances are to begin at six o'clock and close at ten, to the rumor that some students are going to raid the next meeting of the Senate.
it is deplorable, but arue, that the feminine contingent of students is even more inclined toward excessive and futile conversation than the men are. They relate at length the sublest details of their latest love affairs. Just what Willard meant by the second page of the letter written on Christmas Day from Haute Marne, France, is a matter of conjecture which can be extended to last hours. The woman with things on her mind can always find a listener—in fact, several of them.
Efficiency experts who want to tabulate the number of hours a day a student really spends in pursuit of knowledge would discover in an investigation of the average student's day items like this:
Hanging over the convivial table and talking of the ruthless instructors, 1 hour, 40 minutes.
Talking to Ruth about what Harold said in the library, 55 minutes.
Asking best friend for a loan until the first of the month, 20 minutes.
Discussion of the Senate's action on the gymnasium question, 1 hour 15 minutes.
Evading the house-mother about the plates and forks in the waste-basket, 5 minutes.

VARSITY DANCE STAGS
Regulations were made and enforced this year by the Women's Student Government Association prohibiting dateless men from attending Varsity dances without paying admission. At the last few dances, however, University men have avoided these restrictions by slipping into the hall by means of the fire escape. They fill the doors and ante-room and view the dance like small boys at a menagerie.
The presence of these stags is annoying to both the men and women attending the dance; to the men, because they constantly are being asked to give dances and receive none in exchange; to the women, because of their constant onlooking and their cigarette smoking inside the building. These men use the chairs and some of the dancers always have to stand up
The worst harm, however, is the injury done the men themselves. In slipping into a pay amusement these men place themselves on the same plane as the small boy who crawls over the fence to see a ball game. The estimation of these men and the social organizations to which they belong is greatly lowered in the minds of every one attending the dance.
The doors can be locked and all unpaying stags can be kept out. But is it necessary that such restrictions must be made for men who have the intelligence and honor of students of the University of Kansas?

THE LUNGS OF TREES
To the Editor;
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Can some reader of the Kansan
ul锋尼 an unscientific mind?
Can some reader of the KK enlighten an unscientific mind?
I have often heard quoted that "leaves are the lungs of trees." In high school science I learned that every living cell must breathe. Now, what do trees do in the winter when their lungs drop off?
Editor Daily Kansan:
Unscientific.
Were the two fraternities treated fairly who danced until after midnight? They told the disciplinary committee frankly that they disobeyed their ruling and did not try to evade the issue.
Other organizations here have held dances until one o'clock this year but were not reported. These fraternities knew the ruling but sent in an accurate report. They should be compelled to fire the officer by the examples of others that those who turn in inaccurate reports suffer no penalty. Fair Play.
To Editor Daily Kansan:
Why is it that the K. U. athletes never receive letters and sweaters as rewards for their work under Kansas colors when other college colleges honor their athletes with lettered sweaters? The K. U. runners and players put forth all of their spare time to getting in condition for meets and games and should receive a fitting reward.
At one time the Men's Student Council considered having a tag day to make up the fund for the purchase of sweaters but this plan fell through. The organization held a field meet there if the athletic association cannot buy the sweaters this year.

Some people think that ignorance is merely an accumulation of facts. But that hypothesis reveals a lack of imagination. Ignorance, any more than knowledge, is not con-
trollable to us. We are quite largely with feeling, and feeling is the product of one's general intelle-
lence.
A NOTE OF IGNORANCE
Mothers make men, and wives mend them—Life.
We acquire knowledge largely by contemplation and meditation. But the thing we are learning about must impose itself upon us in such a way that we are forced to understand it our feelings and not our minds.
The Germans had plenty of facts at their disposal, but they were ignorant. Their feeling was not intelligen-tive. They knew the areas of their national consciousness.
To have knowledge of a particular thing is simply to have come in contact with it in such a manner that one's feeling has been aroused about
This is true, more or less, of all of us. When we are truly ignorant, it is a case of arrested development in certain directions. A man who has not brought up a family may have at his call all the statistics about families. But he is truly ignorant in the sense of not being developed in the feelings that intimate contact with one's family produce.
There is nothing harder to overcome than ignorance. It must be beaten to a standstill. We have done this to the Germans. We must now conclude that more contact by bringing them into contact with the right things —Outlook.
If you cultivate the qualities which you admire so much in others, the very qualities which attract you, you will become attractive to others. Just in proportion as you become imbued with these qualities, so that they shall characterize you, will you acquire one desire—a charming personality.
THE PULL OF PERSONALITY
A good education is a great advantage to a man or a woman, but most of us put too great emphasis upon mental equipment and training. We seem to think that this is everything; but our personal atmosphere may have more to do with our success in life, more to do with determining our place in the world, than our mere mental equipment.-Pictorial Review.

THE REWARD OF VALOR
A French lieutenant, recently from the front, was in Washington on business for his government, where he hailed himself by a pretty American girl, who said:
"With what hand did you do it?" she inquired.
"And did you kill a German soldier?"
“With the right hand,” he said. And then the pretty American girl seized the right hand and kissed it, whereupon an American officer who was standing nearby strolled over to her and asked, “Heavenas, man, why didn't you tell her that you bit him to death”—Burt Box.
The office boy had been sitting for hours at a typewriter, gazing vacantly into distance, and the force was becoming worried. "He's sick," suggested the kindly, old, gray-haired bookkeeper, but the blonde stenographer insisted there must have been some tradeym at home. The suspense ended when the lad suddenly turned to the fat claim clerk and inquired: "Say, Mr. Jones, how do you spell Thelmia?" —K.C. Star.

He was a bright boy and made no mistakes until he came to the line marked "born," followed by a blank space. In this Louis wrote down very neatly the one word, "yes." - Los Angeles Times.
