The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of his students, so he further than merely print the news in a newspaper. Students' wisely holds; to play no favorable; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the benefit of the students of the University.

SUBSCRIBE GRACEFULLY
When you make up your budget for January, don't forget that there is one more campaign for funds. The only call for money to be made this year by Y. W. C. A. is coming next week. Members of the organization have no regular dues, but are asked now to contribute according to their ability.
Giving according to your ability does not mean replying casually to the worker who asks for your pledge, "Oh, I'm sorry, but I haven't any money left after the Red Cross Drive and all the rest of them."
Instead, it means passing to think over your real financial status. It means balancing a contribution to the Association against a few clairs and picture shows and taxi bills. It means deciding whether you value your momentary pleasure over the permanence of the organization's work not only on the Hill but throughout the world.
A REAL GRIEVANCE
The Red Cross is a lovely alibi, but are you an alibi sister? If so, wake up and get out of that little-esteemed class.
If the men of K. U, were really polite and wise they would make 8:30 o'clock classes at 8:10 o'clock on snowy mornings. Then paths would be cleared for the women. Instead the women plod through the snow and wish that the men in France would return so that they would receive more attention.
NOT QUITE THERE
Enough has been said about the work women have done during the recent war to last for generations. And too much cannot be said. The various lines of work which women have successfully carried on while men were in the country's service are remarkably numerous. No one has appreciated this more than the women themselves. They believe in giving credit where credit is due, and are proud of their own industrial and economical achievements which is entirely justifiable.
Another step in the ladder to complete equality with men remains to be ascended. There is no woman at the Allied peace table, and the only women who are connected even remotely with the whole affair are the wives of the men who will determine the world's future. Mrs. Wilson is in France, but her mission is ornamental, rather than practical. The plain truth is that women do not figure in affairs of international importance.
This state of affairs need not discourage the most militant suffragist
or the most feminine feminist. No one anticipates another war within the next two generations, but if there is one, it is safe to wager that women will sit at the next peace table. If they are delegates to a peace conference, it may be safely assumed that they will have something to say. Some day this situation will exist, but such an attitude of the world toward women can only be reached gradually.
HIDING THE LANDSCAPE
HIDING THE LANDMARK
Yes, we still have posters on the bulletin boards—old, unisightly posters advertising lectures which have already been given—posters boosting W. A. A. members who have been elected, and posters of meetings which are over.
If there is anything new happening on the campus, wouldn't it be well to tear down the old posters before placing the new ones?
The old posters detract from the interest of new ones and often cause confusion. They are past history and should be given the customary ceremony.
OLD WOOD CARVINGS
If some of the arm rests from the chairs in our class rooms should become buried and petrified, and in hundreds of years be unearthed by our descendants, some astonishing facts would be revealed. When you go to class tomorrow take a glance at your chair; perhaps upon it will be found such things as J. B. C., K. K., Kansas, 1018, and any number of Greek combinations (although freshmen have suffered much because of that inherent desire to spread broadcast the initials of their Greek frats.)
If all the books in the world should be destroyed in the ages to come, and if the languages of the world should be lost, the finding of these few petrified arm rests would give our descendants something to work on, something to study, something for men to spend their lives on, and even cause the professors of ancient languages to go forth in search of these tables. The entire alphabet could be recovered (if enough arm chairs were petrified), and not only modern English would be given back to our descendants, but the Greek alphabet would return to once more harass the student.
modern scholars go in search of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics which have given us so much of ancient Egyptian life, and so in the centuries to come, men may go in diligent search of petrified arm rests (perhaps buried in the limestone of Mount Oread) and again recover the knowledge of the twentieth century.
GET OUT AND VOTE
More interest should be shown in K-U. elections as only a small per cent of the students have the habit of voting at the annual elections and thus allow the machines to control University politics. The voting does not represent the University sentiment. Every election has it's alleged crookedness and a larger vote would stop much of the "shrewd managing" as the political heads class it.
The candidates are dominated and elected without protest. The majority of the students fail to take any noticeable interest in the outcome. All classes and schools will hold elections on the same day and every loyal K. U. student should consider it his duty to vote at this big election and have a voice in the student rule of the University.
"Higher education for women is one of the latest developments in Japan," writes the editor of the Tokio Asahi. "Although Japan possesses two institutions called 'Women's Universities,' they are only technical colleges (meaning for the instruction of teachers). They differ greatly in scholarship rank from the men's universities. The imperial university opens its doors to women students, the Tohoku Imperial University, at Sendai, and has two or three girl pupils. Recently three women have been graduated from that institution with the degree of M. A.-Detroit News.

Dear Roomie:
Could you suggest an entertainment for my young son's birthday party? He is ten. Also do you think I should invite the head of my husband's department, as it is the first social function we have given since we came to Lawrence?
New Prof's Wife.
Dear Madam:
Do not invite the head of the department. He is presumably more than ten and might not find the other guests congenial. In regard to the entertainment, I should suggest a dinner party with a great deal of dinner. You know boys' appetites. They will be able to furnish the rest of the entertainment themselves.

Dear Roomie:
My roommate is an housemaid, she won't eat. What would you do?
Dear Irene:
It is good news that the Department of Justice purposes to ask Congress to deport the three or four thousand over-tainted enemy aliens now interned in this country. They should be deported and their re-entry prohibited. That is the first of them, the coming battle againstagnaganda.
If you had the cash to take her to Kansas City for a real feed and a show it would probably cheer her up once for all. Failing that you might take her to the Eldridge and a movie themtight. If you are too poor for that, there is always the midnight spread with the old gang and if you have a very nice one it may do the work. If none of these methods are successful, write again, for we want any homesickness Hill. Poomie
THE WAR ON PROPAGANDA
The broader problem is replete with difficulties, and it will be the part of the indifferent and the pacifistic to oppose each and every measure proposed. But if nations are to live equally and honestly, as do upright neighbors, that most subtle and snakelike of all German weapons, propganda, must be fought to its lair and ended.
New legislation is unquestionably needed of a novel and broadly conceived character. The virus of propaganda must be analyzed, defined, and prohibited by the strictest of laws, with severe penalties for their breach. The essence of the evil is its underhandness. The parallel with advertising matter carried in a newspaper or magazine as reading matter at one end is the opposite, a nation's conduct to a public and avowed publicity campaign. The peril lies in the secret propaganda that German cunning brought to a high state of efficiency. Whether or not the Bolshevik forces are now using similarly secret weapons, the need for action.
for legislation, is urgent. The future cannot be provided against too soon. In the consideration of this whole question there will arise first of all the
cannot be provided against too soon. In the consideration of this whole question there will arise first of all the matter of deporting every naturalized American who has played an active part in such enemy propaganda. The system must be ended for all time. To get rid of the interned aliens alone will not begin to meet the evil. Many of the most vicious German propagandists took out their citizenship papers as a precaution against such a contingency. Deportation must be the universal punishment of every secret propagandist, and it must be applied against those whose false Americanism has been already revealed.
Therefore, the present move of the Department of Justice, sound and needful as it is, must be regarded as only the first of a series of precautions. Secret propaganda must go the way of secret diplomacy. The latter fosters war through the trickery of a few. The former works not less effectively through the subtle poisoning of the many—New York Tribune.
One who knew Russia before the chaos says that in those days Mark Twain was well known to the Russian reading public, and Longfellow hardly less so. Walt Whitman, Howells, and Jack London were widely read, and so were William and Ralph Waldo Emerson, although one may guess that, as elsewhere, many knew London who were unfamiliar with Emerson. It is a hopeful thing to remember, for it affords a real hope for the future Russia. Literature is an index ofacter, and it is a fairly safe prediction of what will happen in which a large number of people enjoy the advantages of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn will very long be overwhelmed by the barbarian and ignorance of its Bolshevist element—Christian Science Monitor.
MerelyMental Lapses Jokes and Alleged Jokes
At the time of the Russian Revolution there were not a few people, both in Europe and in America, who in their enthusiasm declared the event the greatest of the war. If greatness is to be judged from its capacity for constructiveness, there can be no doubt that those people, and they are legion on both sides of the Atlantic, who regard the closer bonds between the two Anglo-Saxon nations which this war has wrought as an event second to none since the sailing of the Mayflower, have good reason for the faith that is in them. No more exalted claims are made on the future than those made by the men who invoke the constructiveness of Anglo-Saxon unity—Christian Science Monitor.
HAS NATURAL ROLE
A nervous old beau entered a cos-
mers and said:
"I want a little help in the way of a suggestion. I am going to the French students' masquerade ball tonight, and I want a distinctly original costume—something I can be quite sure no one else will wear. What can you suggest?"
The costumer looked him over attentively, bestowing special notice on his gleaning, bald and shining head. "Well, I'll tell you," he said, thoughtfully why don't you sugar your head, though as a pill?"—Mineola's Journal.
"My ideal husband," said the girl who had been reading novelettes, "must be a strong, silent man, full of grit, and able to bear the heat and burden of the day without finching; one who will not hear a word said about me, and will never utter a word against me himself."
HER IDEAL MAN FOUND
"What you want," answered her friend, "is a deaf and dumb coheathear."
A railway bridge had been destroyed by fire, and it was necessary to replace it. The bridge engineer and his staff were ordered in haste to the place. Two days later came the superintendent of the divisor. Alighting from his private car he encountered the old master bridge builder.
HIS WAY
"Bill," said the superintendent—and the words wolvered with energy—"I want this job rushed. Every hour's delay costs the company money. Have you got the engineer's plans for the new bridre?"
"I don't know," said the bridgebuilder, "whether the engineer has the picture drawn yet or not but the bridge is up and the trains is passin' over it."—Minneapolis Journal.
