The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in to go further than merely printing the news standing for it, or to play no favorizer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to teach the students of the University.
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
We have always objected to quiz, week with its nights of wet towels and cokes and agony. We have always said, "Oh, for a simplified quiz week, with the horrors reduced just a little bit." And we have argued with the professors to give us short finals, or else to use their influence to abolish examination week altogether.
Now the time has come to prove our arguments. We have the opportunity to show once and for all that the old quiz week should be discarded in favor of short examinations in regular class hours.
The faculty will be reasonable about it. If we buck up and write actually intelligent papers in our forty-five minute quiz hours this week, the professors will see that there is reason in all we have said in other years.
--enjoy it because they can lie in bed and eat homemade cooking and loaf again. And together with the women they will live in peace because there won't be any after-holiday quizzes to bother with.
When the whistle blew for Red Cross Monday morning, betting was even that Mr. Hohenzollern had been poisoned and that the Thirty-fifth had booked for home.
The revised quiz week is on trial. It is up to us to make it a success, or else revert to the old system. Let's show 'em.
GREAT KIDS
The Lawrence lads who have been selling newspapers and vending edibles in the McCook Field barracks are ahead more than merely their share of the soldier-students' thirty a month. They've gained a wealth of experience and self-assertiveness and pep, for it takes nerve to go into the barracks with anything to sell and stand the "kidding" the men save up for all newcomers.
Most of the youthful merchants have held their own and have come out winners in nearly every wrangle. It wouldn't have paid to be scared of the "hard guys" who purchased their papers and candy.
The Kansan doesn't set itself up as an authority on how to raise children, but believes that the best sort of training a boy can have is to be thrown on his own, at least to a degree, and be compelled to make good or give in.

Map of Europe changes, according to a newspaper report. Won't Santa Claus have a dickens of a time finding the folks?
HELLO. VACATION!
Let's make this the best Christmas vacation K. U. has ever seen. It should be, because it's so different from any other Christmas that ever happened. The late soldier boys will
It's the usual thing to fill one's suitcase half full of books and vow to spend most of the time studying for those threatening quizzes which loomed just over the horizon of the new year. The consequence was that books were left unopened, but a lot of good times were spoiled by their memory and the persistent conscience that called to duty.
But this year quizzes will be disposed of in one short hour, and the holiday season, while shortened, will be left free entirely to the Yuletide festivities. Of course, it is permissible to spend the time in worrying about next quarter's courses, but it's safe to say that's one of the things that won't be done in our set this winter!
Women who rally in front of the White House to burn the President's talks succeed only in illuminating their own vacuums.
POLITICS
Suggestions, covert and otherwise,
that the Kansan take a hand in the
political game next quarter, have
been made by persons interested in
the fate of the candidates. Accompanied by insinuations of what a powerful factor in politics the Kansan would be and of the rich prizes awaiting the winners' party, the hints were nevertheless rejected.
For the Kansan isn't a political paper, and says so in every issue, just above the first editorial column.
The Kansan will take a hand in fighting crookedness or in working for anything which will plainly benefit the school. The hottest campaign in many years is expected next quarter, and the columns of the Kansan will be open for signed statements from all contenders, but the paper itself will continue its policy of strict non-partnership.
Stop talking war. Talk Red Cross.
Campus Opinion
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
To The Kansan:
What's the use? The freshman hasn't a chance in the world this year. If he's taking French, he hasn't.
The beginning French classes are having to do a full semester's work and are getting only quarter hours credit for it. We have to finish lesson 25 in the grammar, which is just what the classes had to do last year. Works of school this week, works of school this year, and that there are eighteen weeks in the old semester, I think this is the most unjust thing going on on the Hill.
Class of 1922.
The news that upperclassmen wil strenuously try to revive the old traditions of freshmen caps is encouraging. Personally, I am a freshman with all anthropological instincts of self-preservation, and with a love of padding comparable to the frogs' affection for the snake. wish to commend the Red Viagra for helping me to remind them that K. U. freshmen are heartily in accord with their intentions. In case the upperclassmen's plans do not materialize I suggest to my green grass comrades that we voluntarily wear freshman caps. I believe we are anxious to revive ye old time pop and moreover are willing to play martyr to accomplish this. G. M. G.
With quizzes coming down the line, I wish to register a protest on the library force. Last week, I went to look up the Spectator files, and an exnexpressed assistant informed me that the files do not run well in our system. I read the reading insists that the magazine is in the library up to this year.
To The Kansan:
H. P.'19
On another occasion the librarian refused to look up a reference which I could not find, on the ground that as a senator I ought to know how to use the library. If this variety of service goes on, I believe there will be more flunks than ever this year.
Readable Verse
Discovered by Readers of the University Dafy Kansan
AN ASTRONOMER
On a bone hillside
Wrapping his steamed
wrist, he held it,
Hugged his knee,
Dreamed into the night—
A wip of a crescent,
A nip of star—
In his thought
He was asking;
to me to my mouth
Singe up to the sturta'
Do thy duty now and ever!
Dream no more of rest or stay.
Give to Freedom's great endeavor.
All thou grit and hust today.

"You there in overalls?" shouted the cross-examining lawyer, "how much are you - paid for telling the untruths?"
The situation sounds interesting.
I should guess the young man's mother invited you with the awful purpose of trying out your domestic efficiency before she will let him take the fatal step. So if you want him, I advise you to practice up on dish-washing. If you don't want him, the diplomatic thing for you to do is to go ahea and wash 'em, but be careful to break at least three plates out of four.
My man's mother has invited me to dinner Christmas Day. As I am quite sure she has no maid, would it be proper for me to offer to wash dishes? We aren't engaged.
Dear Roomie:
Dear Roomie:
What do you suppose those cute little flips the soldier boys wear buttoned to the shoulders of their blouses for? I have often wondered about it, and nobody has been able to tell me. Sweet Sixteen.
THE QUIP SPRIGHTLY
Thousands of graveyards are filled with those with whom I have more success. I am ruthless and cruel, yet I could be restrained if people really understood how much harm there is in me. Instead of that they think I am funny and laugh at me. Some of them even cry the german word for "health" when they hear me.
"Less than you are," retorted the witness, "or you'd be in overalls too."—Boston Transcript.
Dear S. S.:
The only way we can figure it out is to assume that whoever designed the uniforms they wear now thought that most any rookie might get to be general some day and would need some place to wear his four stars.

Dear Roomie:
What shall I give the furnace man
for Christmas?
Dear Mrs. B.:
Furnace men always like ivory manicure sets, so as to doll up properly before they go to a dance. It might be well to ask him what his favorite color is, and then he will think you are going to give him a tie, and be even more overjoyed Christmas morning.
Mrs. B.
I kill babies, children, grownups impartially. Hundreds of hospitals are filled with those I do not succeed in slaving.
Roomie.
I see by the papers that men discharged from the army without having been oversheared shall wear a silver coat and I ought to wear one when I go home?

Dear Roomie:
Dear Sergeant:
Perhaps if you would get an overseas cap before going home the people you meet would be more impressed. They would probably think your chevon was a new kind of wound stripe or something of that nature.
Sergeant.
Few people suspect me. I am never detected.
I play a safe game. I scatter disease germs in halls, in the street-cars, wherever there is a crowd. Few people sussex me. I love them.
Roomie.
I am a murderer.
