The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students of the university go further than merely printing the news by standing with the University staff and play no face to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of one's ability the students of the university.
THE HEALTH SERVICE
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 18, 1918
The University has a Health Service, for which the student pays $2 a year, and from which he never cashes in unless he is unfortunate enough to be ill.
Unless he meets with misfortune and becomes ill, or meets with an accident he receives nothing from the University Health Service because it is a short-sighted. one-sided, lop-sided, incomplete thing, seemingly without vision or apparent comprehension of the needs of the University. Not only does the Health Service fall down on the water proposition, but it utterly fails to function as an educational or a preventive agency.
Without presuming to discern whatever was the full purpose of the University authorities who instituted the Health Service, and without presuming to interpret the attitude of its members to its present policies, we may safely say that the common sense functions of such a service should be threefold.
It should be preventive It should be curative
It should be educational.
It should be curative.
It should be educational because that is the function of the University. Furthermore, the big thing in medicine today is education. Education is the best preventive and the best medium of better health in the community. Not only should the health of the community on Mount Oread be considered, but that education should be a center to spread its education throughout the state.
The University Health Service should be preventive in its regulations and suggestions. It should know as far as it limited facilities will permit, the first measures of vaccination, quarantine, and other prophylactic precautions that should be put into effect at the University of Kansas.
As a curative agency with a University Hospital, the Health Service is no doubt wide-awake and wholly on the job in a landable way, but for the other two sides, it looks like a case of atrophy.
Water. Water. Water.
ON GOING HOME
Except for the infrequent check and the occasional visit, the "folks back home" have little influence on the life of the average college student. Most students have nearly reached the age when they go out into the world, and are too liable to forget father and mother.
But Christmas is nearly here, and we're all going home. In just a few days we'll resume wearing out the
piano and the car, and we'll eat and eat and eat.
Mother and dad will be glad to see us back, for we've been away a long while and there hasn't been much noise around the place since we left. Nothing will be too good for us then, and mother and dad will do anything to make us enjoy our vacation.
Let's make their vacation a good one too. Let's not take our troubles home. Dad and mother will not worry us by referring to the mortgage or the high cost of living. They have troubles, too, bigger than we think, but they'll forget them and think only of our homecoming. Let's give them the happiest time of their lives this year, and show them we think a lot of home even though it's pretty nice to go away to college. They won't know we really care unless we show them.
Isn't it the truth—the whistle sounds more terrible on quiz day, than any other time?
One girl's idea of too much of a good thing: To have examinations come and the soldier_return the same week.
ITS NOT TOO LATE
The response to the appeal sent out by the Y, M. C. A. employment bureau for situations for the S. A. T. C. men who are anxious to remain in school has not been as generous as was expected. In fact, it is so far below what it should be, that one might assume the business men have had enough of the S. A. T. C., and do not care to interest themselves further in the welfare of its members.
But remember, Mr. Business Man, they were willing to fight for your peace and the protection of your property. Now it is up to you to "whack up" and help them fight for an education and a chance to make good in industry and commerce.
The boys are being demobilized now. They are haunting the "Y" secretary in the attempt to find jobs for next semester.
What you do, Mr. Business Man,
must be done now. Next week they
will be gone carrying with them an
opinion of your patriotism that might
not be pleasing to an American citizen.
Better make a place for some
student help. Call up the "Y" man
and tell him about it now. Phone 380.
What has become of the instructor who used to dismiss his class ten minutes before the whistle blew? After all that has been said, we still have with us the opposite variety of genu professoris. He holds 11 o'clock classes only till about 12:15.
The old-fashioned phrase, "Shop early and avoid the rush" has run its course. Now it's "only five more days until Christmas." Oh, boy!
Water. Water. Water.
With the elections and beauty contests well under way on the Hill it is high time some one was taking notice of the graft in elections. The beauty contest should not be, or should be conducted differently as there is always an allegation of crooked work by the losers and circumstantial evidence points that no Kansas beauty contest has been straight. Let's have straight contests on a popular vote or none at all. Nosa Lott.
Campus Opinion
Edtor Kansan:
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
A soldier who fought in the war with conspicuous valor obtained, after his return home, a situation in his service of a lady in the south of Ireland. Of him mistress was Omar, he him about his military armor and asked him:
SEEMING CONTRADICTION
"Well, mu'sam," he said, "what struck me most was all the bullets that missed me."—Oskaloosa Independent.
"In all your experience of the war you as the most wonderfull of all."
MAYBE YOU SAW THIS
MAYBE YOU SAW THIS
It was a chilly rainy day. The little freshman had no umbrella. The upperclassman waited for her and took her to Fraser Hall, before going to her own class at Snow.
All you need is a heart and a dollar.

First Aid to Shoppers
Gifts for Him and for Her
The winter nights are long and lonesome for her. How she enjoys sitting by the fire-place reading—but it depends on what she has to read. You know she would spend many happy hours reading William Allen White's latest book, "In the Heart of a Fool." Maybe she would like to see Dorothy Canfield's new book "Home Fires in France." We all appreciate the works of our own University poet, Willaro Wattles. Why not give her "The Lanterns in Gethsmane?" This book may be purchased at the University Book Store for $1.50.
Yes, he appreciates candy—but it is the homemade divinity and fudge which she makes. While SHE likes those nice boxes of chocolates that may be purchased at Wiedemann's. Lowneys, Douglas, or—well, you know her favorite kind!
Every time John gets ready to go somewhere, there is a house-wide search for his cuff links. One of the gold links fell down the register, and only yesterday he lost a pearl one. Wouldn't he appreciate it, if you slipped in a pair, when you send his Christmas box? Just stop in at Gaston's Jewelry Store, and see the wide variety.
Let her keep a record of her past, present and future, in one of these little leather "line-a-day" books, which you see at the University Book Store. The prices range from one to four dollars.
While he is still in camp, why not send him a box of stationery? How often he writes home apologizing for his stationery, saying that all he had on hand. A nice line of Highland linen and initial stationery may be seen at Weavers.
Suppose you surprise him this year. Every Christmas he has received handkerchiefs and socks—there are still several boxes of handkerchiefs unopened, but how he admires beautiful neckties! He needs a variety, for with each suit he needs a different colored one; he wants it to be the varied line at Johnson and Carls? The prices range from fifty cents to five dollars.

Enrico Caruso
"MY COUSIN"
Caruso is as great an actor as a singer, brimful of vitality, infectionally happy. See him in "My Counin."
In this—his first appearance on the screen—Caruso takes a double role. In one minute he is a famous Metropolitan tenor, at the next he is a poor sculptor.
In the second character he has to fall in love with his model—some model, boys—and believe us Enrico Caruso makes love to her as he would to some great opera belle in the glare of the footlights beneath the Diamond Horse-shoe at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
LET'S GO TO BRICK'S
When we come back to school.
A real celebration at Brick's will be a good way to start the new semester.
The good food and the warm, brilliantly lighted rooms, will take away that homesick feeling for at Brick's we are always welcome.
