The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in to go for a better career than merely printing the news by being an enthusiastic holder of the University's journal to play. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be compassionate; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

COLLEGES ARE NATIONAL POTENTIALITY
"The revealing stress of this war brought out the fact that there should be a more fundamental attention given to the education of young men," said Governor Henry Allen in his recent inaugural address. In the new governor, Kansas education has a strong supporter—a man who has progressive ideas and who can realize ideas.
Governor Allen has expressed himself as being violently opposed to any form of militarism. Yet he understands the national need of a system of physical education which will strengthen this country in times of peace, and will also be a defense. "I believe we should embrace every opportunity," he said, "to mingle in our educational system a course of training that shall equip all physically and mentally to be better fitted on the instant to defend the national life as well as to carry on its burdens in time of peace.
"We have had in this state at the Agricultural College, Camp Funston, and other institutions a wholesome example of the introduction in education of a helpful co-operation along lines of better training. The experiences of the past few months prove that the educational institutions of the land can be given an added potentiality in making our citizenship better fixed physically and mentally to meet whatever strain the future provides."
ELECTION DOPE
Women did not hurry by Green Hall election day, but took up their stand on the law steps in no uncertain manner. So firmly were they entrenched in this location that brave men murred by to avoid them. The high heel on the law steps is something new, and upon hearing of it, former students of the School of Law will remark that the University of Kansas is not what it once was.
There were more ward-heelers than voters on the Hill most of the time Thursday.
The proud freshman man who was naked if he were a senior, the flattered senior girl who was handed a freshman card and, the pleased prof who was taken for a student, went home for lunch and told the others all about it.
One woman candidate held a careworn medic's pipe while he walked inside to vote for her. After proximity to the pipe, every one would agree that she earned the vote.
By June, election bets will possibly all be paid off.
Alleged fraternity pledges who
INTRAMURAL BASEBALL
If baseball is abolished in the Missouri Valley for the coming season as athletic leaders predict, some other form of athletic interest must be arranged in order to give the students a chance for some good recreation in the spring air. A plan at the Kansas State Agricultural School at Manhattan worked well last year, and possibly more interest was taken than in the regularly scheduled baseball seasons of the years before.
An inter-fraternity baseball league was organized by the athletic coach. The games were played either during the week or on Saturdays. The fact that all of the fraternities entered teams brought out a crowd to witness the games. Women also attended the contests, and so many hotly contested games were played that soon the students came out as a whole, and even the faculty took interest.
Until a few years ago, Coach W. O. Hamilton has always organized an Inter-fraternity League here, and also a Hash-house League. The games were a fair success even though college baseball conflicted with the interests. This spring, if there is to be no collegiate season, the fraternities and hash-houses will have a clear field.
More men would have a chance to participate in the games, and the University of Kansas would be taking a step in the right direction—that of introducing intramural athletics, and recreation for all the students. Gymnastium may bring results, but baseball, out under the blue sky, with all the fresh air in the world, is the ideal sport in spring. Practically no expenses would be incurred. No uniforms are necessary, the men have gloves, mits, and bats, and the only expense would be baseballs, and if necessary, the teams could pay for these.
A series of games could be carried out according to schedule, with two separate leagues, the Inter-fraternity league, and the Hash-house league. The Men's Pan-hellenic could govern the first league, and the Hash-house representatives could elect a governing body. A board of directors to be at the head of all could be made up of the presidents of the two leagues, Coaches Hamilton and Bond, and a member of the Men's Student Council. After the close of the season, a championship series could be played between the winners in the two leagues, and by this time the interest in the games, would warrant charging of admission to these games to defray any excesses incurred during the season.
NEBRASKA HAS NEW DI-
RECTION
The University of Nebraska is distributing its student directories this week. The Cornhuskers did not think it was too late to get them out. Neither were they so busy that they could not spare the time to compile the information. The Y. W. C. A. merely organized itself into committees to gather the material. Then the organization financed the printing, and now the women of the university are selling the directories to the students at cost.
If the University of Nebraska can do it, why can't K. U.? Do the students of this university stop when confronted by a task easily accomplished by our neighboring institution? Is it more difficult to organize similar committees to canvass and solicit for various war funds?
Now that the Men's Student Council is revived, why could it not finance the printing of a directory? Since the W. S. G. A. is operating the Varsity dances, the Men's Student Council has more time than ever before to devote to some valuable enterprise like the directory proposition.
The thing can be done by University students, and it is not too late to do it now.

Won't someone start something at the University so we'll have water of some kind on the Hill? After spending forty-five minutes in a gymnasium class it is almost impossible to do without a drink. The water in the fountains is shut off and there is no distilled water. As a consequence the students have to do without water the entire time they are on the Hill.
It looks as though the members of our once-upon-a-time navy were about to receive one more jolt right between the eyes. Ensign Finnegan has received a $25,000 check from the government and has turned it over to the University. This amount settles the navy's contract with the University and includes full reimbursement for the time the men paid their own expenses—supposedly 35 days. University officials claim that navy men could have messed in Barracks 2, and accordingly expect to make very adequate reductions in the amount of reimbursement. Men on K. P. duty in Barracks 2 insist that the women in the period dish待 that they were never plated nor food to supply the total number of men, and that had they all tried to eat there at noon they could not possibly have been fed in time to get back to drill.
To The Daily Kansas:
Ensign Finnegan, who has been doing his best by the boys has about reached the end of his rope in sending out a set of questionaires to ascertain the actual length of time the men supported themselves, and the extent of their hospital duty, if any. The incident of hospital duty will apparently be considered conclusive proof that those men partook of the sumptuous hospital diet; and this circumstance will furnish a basis for further reductions in the amount of reimbursement. As it was, the basis was to be but a dollar a day, while the University has received a dollar and a quarter a day for the whole period of the unit's existence. The men are not worried over this, but they do object strenuously to any further nibbling at the money they should receive to pay overdue board-bills. It's pretty hard, after the navy finally does come across, to have the University get so much more than its share. Bricken was paid by the plate, according to his contract, yet the University wants to collect for thousands of plates for which it does not have to pay. A Victim.
University Daily Kansan:
The honor system is being discussed at the University and has been endorsed by leading students. The only objection K. U. men and women have to the system is the part that involves telling on others who cheat. It is a small matter to write an examination straight and make a written statement to that effect at the end of the paper.
Students hate to be tattlers. They will adopt the honor system, but hope that the cause asking that they tell on others who cheat be left out of the ruling. It is asking too much to ask a person to report a friend.

The city authorities, I think, will tell us that the city water is no better or worse than it has been for many years. We drank it before the analysis was given out by the water department. Why can't we have the city water turned on? Students who are afraid to drink it won't have to do so. Most of us use it for the chance, despite the analysis.

Written by K. U. Students and Lawrence Pastors
By Geneva Kunkle
"Give ear. O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth." (Maschil of Asap.) Psalm 78—verse 1.
It is a small matter for the majority of students to go to a class. They go because it is time for that subject. The whistle blows and almost mechanically the majority file into class and take there usual places. In a spasmodic manner answers to roll call are given.

The lecture begins. How many of us sit with our ears wide open, alert to catch new suggestions on this particular subject? It is a sad fact that few of us do "give ear" to the lecture. We take notes, scarcely knowing what we are writing and frequently we study some other subject. When quiz day comes, we are positive we have never heard of anything pertaining to it or that question. So give ear, oh students, to statements of the nouns and remember them at least until final
