The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and playing to play no favoritier; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be respectful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to study the students of the University.

PROFESSORS NOT TO SELL SERVICES?
Kansas college professors may possibly lose some of their incomes if a bill introduced in the state legislature, Monday, is passed. However, it is probable that the proposed act will meet with common disapproval over the state.
The part of the bill which affects state institutions is the section prohibiting professors and instructors in state schools from accepting fees for any work they do except the regular salary paid for their specific services. If any such fees are collected they shall go into the state treasury instead of the professor's pocket.
Although the bill provides for the readjustment of salaries each year by the legislature or the head of the institution and, although it promises higher salaries for employees of the state, still it is fallacious and extremely impracticable.
If such a policy were put into operation it would be as binding as a trade union and would limit the instructor in his activity outside of school hours. The exhaustive research work which the average professor now does as part of his state work would not be sufficient to satisfy the demands of an exacting public. He must needs turn over the proceeds of books written at home; he would likewise be expected to empty his Saturday night pay envelope, earned during vacation, into the coffers of the state. The liberty given any bookkeeper or stenographer who works during the evenings at home in order to increase a modest salary would be denied the professor.
As things now stand, he lectures freely at high schools and commercial clubs, and expects only a fee sufficient to cover his railroad fare. He spends much time outside of schedule hours in helping to further the work of the state. He stops only when he comes into competition with legitimate business. Then he charges what his services are worth. Surely it would not be fair to have him contribute his services and thus cut short the incomes of those who have struggled to master a profession.
Professors who have the ability and wish to do outside intellectual work should be paid what their services can command.
Lawrence sets the pace for the larger cities. The Kansas City Star says, "Unless a better plan is found, the council may provide for one-way traffic on Main and Walnut streets." The local street-car system has had one-way traffic for years.
The Pennsylvania railroad has found that since the women have been wearing tight skirts, the average train stop is now seventeen seconds longer than when skirts were short and full; they are now considering lengthening the schedule to meet the emergency. We wonder if the Senate thought of the styles when it decided on 8:30 o'clock classes instead of those at 8 o'clock.
GOOD ROADS
The annual spring campaign for good roads cannot begin too early on the University campu. If various communities over the state should regard the University as an example of all that is progressive, and emulate its solution of the good roads problem, then practically all communication would cease.
The most remote rural community in the state does more to improve the condition of its highways than has been done to keep the campus drives in shape this winter season. Now they are dirt最 impassable.
Deep mud holes and ruts are neither necessary nor decorative. The drives on the campus have been laid out artistically, but their beauty of arrangement is lost when the surface is in its present condition.
A road must be repaired and worked on often to keep it in shape. Until the state can afford to give the University asphalt drives, the dirt roads should at least be in as respectable a condition as a country highway.
The School of Fine Arts is the only building on the Hill that has drinking water, and it isn't on the Hill.
Why isn't the department of biological science housed in the "antennae" instead of the journalists?
Kansas sent 81,000 men to war,
4,000 of whom died in the service.
Besides that the state loaned and contributed $210,000,000 to the various war funds.
BEAUTY NOT MEASURED BY FEET
Photographers who are taking group pictures for the University annual could take much more unconventional views than they do. Their opportunities in this direction are unlimited, but they never make the most of them. The photographer who is "doing" K. U. at the lunch hour this year is indeed a calloused person.
Fifty women in party dresses may be very attractive and again they may not. Not at high noon, certainly, in their last year's delapidated costumes with ungainly walking shoes below the folds of wrinkled tulle. The footwear of the group which is being taken is always remarkable for its variety and picturesqueness. The ground-gripper stands next the mud-spattered patent pump. The patient photographer shields the unwieldy footwear by focusing a kindly lens well above the top button.
A picture of the shoes beneath the party dresses would be illuminated and entertaining.
LITTLE STUMBLING BLOCKS
Now it is usually little things that cause us to stumble. I do not fall over a beer barrel, but I slip over a piece of orange peel. I have never stumbled over a bale of cotton,but if one flag in the pavement-projects a third of an inch, I may be brought to grief. I can avoid the bigger thing; I am careless about the trifles. The little things cause me to stumble. "Look carefully how ye walk," recollect the importance of details. Life is made up of steps and incidents and trifles.—Dr. J. H. Jowett in Christian Herald.
One hour credit is to be given men in the University of Oregon for drill in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Two hours of physical training besides five hours of drill per week will be require of the men who qualify.
"Goodbye Flue for me and you," is the new slogan of the University of Texas, at Austin, as the result of new health rules to combat influenza. The new rules lay special emphasis upon the harm in crowding, and require that all school rooms be properly ventilated between class periods.

THE WHY OF NAVY UNIFORMS
Many old customs and traditions have left their trace on the uniform of American sailors of the present day. The wide, flaring trousers suggest a waste of material when seen on the city street, but they are really the most practical shape for duty on shipboard. Because of the looseness they may be rolled up snugly to the knees when the sailor is holstoning the decks, and the flare also prevents them from binding at the knee when the bluejacket is taken to go aloft. The most advantage of the looseness is that, combined with the arrangement of the buttons on the side, the trousers can be easily slipped off in the water.
The thirteen buttons across the top of the trousers are supposed to represent the thirteen original states.
The black tie, prescribed by regulation for American blue jackets, was handed down from the British navy. It was worn by the sailors of this fleet in memory of Nelson after the death of Admiral Halsey, and in the three white stripes bordering the collar commemorate three great victories won by Nelson.
The bit of white undershirt showing at the neck is associated with the famous American admiral, Farragut. After his death the sail in which his body was lowered to the water was divided among his sailors, who were seated on the back across their chests. This established the custom of wearing a white dickey, which is now replaced by the portion of the undershirt—K. C. Star

Now that a lot of romance has been taken out of the war by the signing of an armistice, we suppose our girls will go back to accepting husbands for college and their face in the gold bars and spurs—Ohio State Lantern.
The department of chemistry in the Ohio State University is trying to solve the problem of how to dispose of the mustard gas now stored in government arsenals. The problem is either to find a means of destroying the gas, or to discover some commercial use for it.
Evidently Nebraska has a basketball team this year that will be in the Valley running all of the time. Last week the Huskers easily defeated the Fort Omaha Balloonists by a 34-14 score. Captain Jackson at forward was the star with six goals from the field.
From all indications, Capt. Phi Scott of last year's Missouri freshman five is due to be one of the Valley stars. He played a whirl-wind game at forward against Ames and did his full share of the scoring.
Dick Fleeson, quarterback on the Cooper college football team last year and forward on their basketball team, is in school this quarter and plans to go out for Jayhawker athletics next year. Fleeson was a member of the Cooper tennis team that was runner-up in doubles at the State meet at Ottawa last year.
The members of the Texan advisory board have offered twenty-five dollars in prizes to the staff of the Daily Texan for the best work in the various departments this winter.
"A Prophet Who Missed the Way," is the wording on a Y.W. poster which was_partly covered by several election posters. The poster that happened to be covered up by the Y.W. sign announced the name of one of the defeated candidates in last Thursday's election.
Merely Mental Lapses Jokes and Alleged Jokes
"What would you do to the student who," "Ruffles" "Readable Verse" and tells "Pain Tales from the Hill" with "Merely Mental Lapses" now and then, and then asks "Roomie" about "Sport Beams"?
As soon as each soldier man returns he finds out just how much circulation his letters have had in his favorite sorority.
If the rumors of formal parties are well founded, dickies will probably come to the front again.
Speaking of posters, the bulletin at the cross walks near Green Hall, is becoming a mobile moving picture, depicting the activities of our illustrious organizations. A Y.W, sign occupied the best position at 8:30 a.m. o'clock; at 9:00 o'clock it was in another position with a "Jayhawker" sign in its place. Later there appeared in blazing colors the announcement of the Middy Dance, (for ladez only) where the "Jayhawker" sign had been but an hour before.

A Hindoo magic square, found inscribed on a hidden portion of a lintel, was brought to light by a fall of masonry in Chota Surang shrine at Dudhal, India. It inspires an article in London Science Progress by Brigid-geralder F. J. Anderson, C. B. This square, which is said to date from the first half of the eleventh century, is as follows:
"I did?" said Johnny promptly.
"That's nice. What did you do?"
In addition to the usual claim for such squares that the rows, columns, and diagonals each total 34, the discovery in this case points out that the sub-squares (i.e. the numbers in the four cells custered around any point where two lines intersect) each give a similar total.-Current Opinion.
