The Daily Kanaan aims to picture the university of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University of Kansas is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be serious; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
K.U. NEEDS HONOR SYSTEM
FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1919
For several years there has been a great deal of resentment on the part of University students because instructors stand watch during examinations and because of the general supposition that most students receive and give help in written examinations whenever there is an opportunity. Students have said that if the question of honesty were in their own hands, they would observe a code of honesty, but that as long as instructors act as marshals, they will give them something to do.
The chance is now here for students to co-operate with the disciplinary committee in controlling the situation regarding dishonest work, and it is probable that K. U. may conduct its examinations under the honor system within a short time. Chancellor Strong, at the request of University women, has called a mass meeting to get the opinion of all the women on the Hill, so that actual measures may be taken to eliminate cheating.
Cheating is a student problem, and should not be left to the disciplinary committee. Students should express their opinions on the subject of establishing the honor system, which has been found almost invariably successful in other institutions, and should also have something to say about the penalties for dishonest work.
Every K. U. woman will have a chance to publish her opinions on the subject at the mass meeting Monday. Every woman who is interested in the University will attend the meeting. The natural inference will be that those who do not attend do not care whether K. U. students do their work honestly or not.
"Future of gas warfare rests with peace treaty," says news report. We hope so—but don't put the agreement on a "scrap of paper." Pin it to the point of a bayonet.
REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR
Outward evidences of military life and its hardships are no longer among us, but vivid memories of their late service for their country are engraved in the minds of the members of the S. A. T. C. army. Even as time passes, we will be reminded of their experiences. We will hear of various feats of daring often, perhaps oftener, indeed, than we would care to hear them.
K. U. men back from France or discharged from different camps in this country will sit back and remain silent, and will realize their own inferiority, when tales of the S. A. T. C. at K. U. are recounted for them.
The sergeant who made the men stand at attention fifteen minutes in the middle of the night, with the wind blowing through the barracks sixty miles an hour, and the thermometer registering ten below, is good for half an hour of vivid conversation any time. The reminiscences will always be exact, and the veterans will be careful to give the correct figures. And the men will rise up to verify each other's statements.
"This military discipline didn't go with me," is bound to be another favorite. "I have a way of saying what I think, and when the top sergeant jumped me, I told him where to head in, K. P, or no K. P."
The man who spent more days in the guard-house than out of it, and the one who passed up a lieutenant down on Massachusetts Street with every one looking, will become popular heroes. There will doubtless be several of each variety. And the sergeant who was "busted" because he couldn't take anything off the commissioned officers cannot avoid being the next president of the Men's Student Council.
Reminiscences of the war are not so bad, at that. They are a change from the old regime, when men talked about their heartless profs, and their home towns, and their girls, whenever they congregated to study for a quiz. It has been alleged that returned heroes sometimes exaggerate, and K. U. veterans will keep up their end of it. The mornings they went without breakfast will increase in number as time passes, but who cares? Reminiscences are invariably entertaining.
Men returning from the training camps are quickly resuming their former habits—among them the tendency to take an avid interest in University politics. Senior men at K. U. came back to find a woman's class ticket already nominated. It is unnecessary to say that the men will soon announce their own ticket. When class elections resolve themselves into a campaign of the women against the men, they are more than interesting.
Will freshmen who competed on S. A. T. C. football teams be eligible for three more years of football? That is a question which the big eastern universities are going to have to settle during the next few months. It now looks as if this year's playing would not be counted against them on the ground that there were no freshman teams this fall and the varsity elevens were not real varsity teams. This is the view taken by the Western Conference.
Women knitters have been ordered by the Red Cross to stack their needles. Good news for the sheep, surely.
Campus Opinion
To The Kansan:
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
The old question of grades is with in again, and the professors have arisen in grades that were determined binding to their usual individual system.
The history prof says that no student deserves an A, because it signifies exceptional brilliance not to be found in mere mortals who attend his class. The mathematics instructor works out a careful arithmetic problem, and gives five per cent of his students the exalted grade. If his figures show that two and one-half students deserve B, he hesitates and then, being in doubt, doesn't. The kind-hearted language teacher makes a New Year's present of A and B to the whole class in advanced comp.
It's a great system. Grades are presumably intended to mean something, but under the present order, anyone who wishes to know what his various grades mean must know the interpretation of the system that each of his professors use. That is perhaps possible, but it is slightly inconvenient. It would be impossible for anyone else to come to a correct understanding of the student's relative standing in his work.

I would be humble, for I know my weakness:

HIS REASON

"Why so, my son?"
"Because it is a lot harder to listen than to talk."

Extree!
If there is a more competent teacher of University Students in any Sunny School in Lawrence than Prof. U. G. Mitchell, I don't know such a person. Prof. Mitchell is recognized as a man who understands the student viewpoint and is able to present things in an attractive manner.
Every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock he has a class for K. U. men and women at Plymouth Church. He will be glad to see you there. The other members of his class will be glad to see you there. I can assure you that it will be worth your while.
ROSS W. SANDERSON.
Yours very cordially,
Pastor of Plymouth.

KNOWLEDGE
Written by K. U. Students and Lawrence Pastors
Concentration is the first basic quality of success in gaining knowledge. By using this key students are enabled to work without distraction, to think without interruption, and to bring together all their forces upward. Concentration economizes effort, and conserves nervous force.
Perseverance enables one to pursue an aim undeterred by events that may be thrown in the way. If knowledge is to be gained students must not hesitate but persevere; if the road is not straight plan to go around.
The knowledge jewel may be secured by the use of three keys. They are concentration, perseverance and common sense.
The third key is common sense. College of all places needs men and women who possess and use this quality. It is composed of perception, memory, reason, and good judgment.
