The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news for them, rather than mounting the University holds to play no role in be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
--plans for the Corps, the University's governing body does not wish to decide either way. The Senate has adopted a "watchful waiting" policy, but if this is prolonged until January 1, the University is likely to be left outside the group of schools which adopt the plan.
THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN!
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1918.
THE PRE AT IT AGAIN.
It is no longer considered good form for the minions of a political boss to escort the voters to the polls and give them a drink afterwards. It is really not correct for electioneering to go on down the street from the polling place.
Certain young men on the Hill seem to be about twenty years behind the times on this point of etiquette. Not only do they electioneer fantically. They appropriate the ballots of students new to the University who think they are surrendering a mere scrap of paper.
The would-be "practical" politician mentioned in Thursday's news, is admittedly guilty of obtaining under false pretenes the Beauty Contest Ballots of first year S. A. T. C. men. The Jayhawker Board demanded the return of the votes, which he had not yet cast for his favorite contestant. Under this pressure he handed over the receipt-ballot. Then he came to the office of the Daily Kansan and begged the force to kill the story of the attempted graft, alleging that men who don't know any better than to surrender their suffrage privileges to more sophisticated men deserve what they get.
Such rank injustice toward democracy and fair dealing will not be permitted by the other students of the University. The Jayhawker Board in this particular instance is guarding against further crookedness.
America is progressing beyond the point of election frauds and bribery, and the University political situation is not going to be behind the times. The few grafters on the Hill will be summarily dealt with by student opinion and student action. They may as well retire from the ring, for they are antiques that belong on the shelf.
"it rainen alike upon the just and the unjust," says the Scripture, but surely it rainnet more upon the just, for the unjust have stolen the umbrellas of the just.
R. O. T. C. IS HELD UP
The majority of the men students of the University have signified their approval of the adoption of an R. O. T. C. here. The Senate, by referring the matter to a committee for investigation, has shown that it wishes to know more about the plan before adopting it, without indicating any prejudice either favorable or unfavorable.
Both students and Senate are anxious for a decision, but until the War Department announces in full the
The War Department has sent word that the University has only until January 1 in which to make a decision, but it has not sent the desired information, Chancellor Strong, announced at Wednesday night's Senate meeting.
The men students, those whom the innovation will affect, have made their decision, but the Senate waits for facts. Unless the War Department acts immediately and makes these facts public, K. U. may not become an R. O. T. C. school.
K. U. is mighty glad to see a nurse's training course placed in the University. Maybe drafting won't be necessary should the flu visit us next quarter.
WRITE TO THE BOYS
The Yanks in France want more mail. Although the war has closed our K.U. men still hanker for a good old neway letter from the man back at the University of Kansas. Why not write them about the boxing stunts to be pulled off? Tell them about the A.A.U. race at Kansas City in which we have representatives. Write the follow over there about the emobilizing of the S. A. T. C.
Apparently K. U. women do not realize that good looking Red Cross nurses are sharing their home letters with K. U. men simply because the women here haven't written.
Don't you suppose a note sent immediately after a good rally would arry to them just the spirit and freedom you possess? Start paying your lebt to the boys. Send them a big 'at message, one that fills them withONG for dear old Mount Oread.
Lieutenant Seymour de Riec lectured this week on the scenic beauties of France. When the boys all get back, we will probably hear more about the entomology specimens, and the various kinds of mud which may interest geologists because of its adhesive qualities, than about the beauties of the hills and landscapes.
WE ALL DO THIS
When you go up-stairs, in Fraser Hall, for instance, you meet several persons coming leisurely down. As you ascend, you are holding to the banister. What happens? Nothing in particular, except that there is a near collision, and two persons narrowly escape a dangerous fall. It is a rule that when two vehicles pass each other, each should keep to its right. As long as elevators are impossible, the "keep-the-right-side-of the road" rule would work out successfully if applied by students or the campus.
Campus Opinion
Campus Opinion This Column is Open to all Students of the University
To The Kansan:
University women do not relish profanity under their windows at all times of the night. Wednesday night after a few minutes of sleep, I was rudely awakened by the tramp of an S. A. T. C. company, doing double time up and down Twelfth Street hill. At Twelfth and Ohio the lieutenant in command halted the company, yelling at the men as if they were a pack of dogs, and informing them that they would either obey orders or commit years of treason. Then with a rush of profanity that would do justice to any Bowyer tough, he screamed, "Forward march."
Sermonettes
When do the officers think the students may sleep if we are to be disturbed thus at 11 o'clock at night? If they must give vent to their enthusiasm in such a manner, can't they do it on McCook Field and not awaken the people who are trying to get the most from their time spent in K. U.
The Germans may continue their appeals for justice until they get it. And that will be a sorry day for Germany—Kansas City Star.
Signed, Student.

A friend loveth at all times and a brother is born for adversity. Proverb 17:17.
One of the most marked of the many tests of character is the way in which we, as college men and women, choose our friends.
Emerson has said, "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
In selecting our friends we should choose men and women who are loyal and true and who are willing to help us play the game of life fairly and squirrelly. Just how can we make these friends? We are going to do so by being cheerful, kind and thoughtful.

"God the Preserver of Men."
Postmaster General Burleson, in his annual report, urges that the government retain control of the telegraph and telephone lines and that the service be furnished to the public at actual cost. It may be noted in this connection that there was no claim made by anybody that the wire service was being conducted at a loss at time the government took it over. Yet about the first thing Mr. Burleson did after obtaining control to advance the charges. In this connection also, it may be asked why if telegraph and telephone service should be furnished at cost, it is considered by the postmaster general proper to make a huge revenue producer of the postal service. The postal service touches the people more intimately than does the wire service and it was never contemplated by the government that it should be made to pay a profit. Yet Mr. Burleson has added to the cost in every way that he could until he is able to announce a surplus running into the millions. The public may confidently look forward to paying higher rates as long as Mr. Burleson remains in control of the wires, to say nothing of poorer service—Topoeka State Journal.

GIFTS FOR DAD AND MOTHER
When you select a nice gift for Mother why not slip in something else, which, while it does not cost much is 'useful, and will save Mother time and worry some time'. At the ten-cent store you can find brass and nickel plates in tubes for $5.60. For mother mourned in tubes for $4.90, mourn there is a tube of china cement with a forty-horsepower stick'em.
GIFTS FOR DAD AND MOTHEI
Every man is a hero-worshipper. If he hasn't had the chance to be a hero himself, he has the hero instincts and he likes to pay tribute to the men who have done something big. A large-sized picture of General Pershing, showing him in the foreground of a battle-field, with shapnel bursting all around, dying from the impact of the American flag in the background will make Dad's blood tingle with pride in his sons and borthers who are coming home victorious. The picture is almost three feet high an eye in excellent imitation oil painting. It sells for $1.50 at the University Book Store.
That south window at home which Mother keeps full of potted plants. Does the sun shine in on tin cans covered with crepe paper or some other attempt to disguise the unlovely flower-pots? Wouldn't Mother's heart burst with pride over a pot-port of Donna's crockery with alphabets? Or a wall-vase of the same material. There is a big assortment of these at Wolf's Book Store. The prices range from 65 cents to $1.50.
Calendars. What a prosac and colorless name to apply to the lovely and useful gifts they are now manufacturing under that title. Everything under the sun is contained in some of these calendars. There is a pretty picture on the outside, and inside are the days coupled with household hints which teaches Mother to take out grease spots, or keep the cake moist. Some calendars have recipes appropriate to the month in which they are printed, or hints which help Mother to plan the meals. All these calendars are priced at 50 cents at Wolf's Book Store.
Fathers have a way of thinking over the matters of the day after they are supposed to be sound asleep. Sometimes if they knew what time it is when they finally go to sleep they would leave the thinking and puzzling until the next day. Landers sell a small ivory clock with illuminated hands and dial which will stand erect on Dad's dresser and remind him that it is time to go to sleep. This little monitor sells for only $3.00
Christmas things for Dad are mighty hard to find. One is always tempted to go into a toygery store the first thing and grab a tie or a muffler or a pair of bed-room slippers. Year after year Dad accepts these things gratefully (mournfully too, we suspect). This year let's surprise him. The mother asks her asking for a beautiful line of book-ends. They come in solid manhole and sell for $5 and $6, or in hammered brass for about the same price.
If Dad does a lot of driving in the winter he wants nice warm gloves. Fur-lined gray suede gloves cost $6 at Peckham. Another thing he might appreciate in these days of useful Christmas gifts is a knit vest. They are new and attractive and flu proof. The price is $5.
If you had just lots and lots of money you could buy an exquisitely beaded hand-bag for Mother, which Innes' have on display. The price is prohibitive $33—but it might remind you that other bags just as useful and just as pretty, in a less expensive way, may be bought at the same store. The latest thing now is to buy the Innes bag. You can buy it. The body of the bag can be made of any material desired and can be made up and attached by mother herself. Bag-tops are priced at $1 and $1.69 at the Innes Dry Goods Store.
