Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBAN Lawrence, Kansas
The Daily Kansan aims to "pick up the undergraduate students and go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University has offered," he said to be clear; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to the students of the University.
ADD TO THE CURRICULUM
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11, 1918.
ADD TO THE CURRICULUM The University now has on its hands with no immediate use therefore the equipment used by the vocational training detachments which had been at work here since June 15. The automobile drivers and mechanics in particular made use of material little needed in the present courses given in the School of Engineering.
The University, because it has this equipment, is fitted to begin a new course in automobile work which would take the place of the private automobile schools now being largely attended all over the country. Instructors here believe the entire course could be given in twelve weeks, and are practically all in favor of adding the work to the curriculum of the University.
The school owes to the people of the state the maintenance of courses which will enable students to make a living. Whether or not University credit should be given men taking the work is a matter to be decided later, but the opportunity to add a new branch, with equipment all ready on hand, should not be neglected.
Lloyd Ware, manager of the Bowersock and Varsity theaters, says that when men have dates again, be believes that his business will pick up. Undoubtedly it will; and so will the taxi business, the manicuring business AND—the monkey business.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS
It was two o'clock in the morning and the train coming in was two hours late. Everyone was surly and crabbed. But throughout the general crush a soldier called out: "Let these women in first. If you are not a gentleman, try to act like it anyway."
A LIFE PRESERVER
K. U., will be treated to a new sor of quiz this year, shorter and maybe broader too. Because of the flu, the S. A. T. C., and other horrors of war, the faculty has concluded to lighten the twice-yearly burden and to present the students with a diluted, adulterated and censored form of quiz.
This quarter it will not be neede sary to equip oneself as for a protracted siege when going into the Chamber of Inquisition, for the prof's right to question has been cut down to an hour. The old sort of examination with a string of fifty-odd questions has gone temporarily where the wood-bite twinteth, and a pleasant little fifty-minute jauit into the Land of the Unknown has taken its place
But what of next quarter? Here's hoping a repentant faculty will find that an hour is a long enough period in which to pass sentence upon the youthful mind, and will confine their researches into the void to that length of time.
We are beginning to wonder if the storm-doors, which have been put up recently, are going to be needed this winter.
OUR NEW DEMOCRACY
The election of a colored student to Phi Beta Kappa may be considered an one of the best indications of the democracy of the University. James Scott is the first member of his race to attain the highest honor of a college career and he is received on an equal footing with the other members of the organization.
The work of negro students at the University has seldom been so spectacular as Scott's, but has often been of consistent excellence. K. U. appreciates the work of its colored men and women, and stands ready to acknowledge their claims on all distinctions the school offers.
DID GOETHE SLIP?
Goethe once said, "What we wish for in youth comes in heaps in our old age." The sad part about this remark, if it is true, is that most girls will be showered with bewitching bangs, 'vampish' eyes, little finger rings, narrow skirts, and an ability to get out of doing anything useful, at the very time when they will need a sound mind which contains a store-house of useful facts and a knowledge of the world that will help them to enjoy life.
And most men will be blessed in old age with beautiful mustaches, an ability to swagwet and look important, and a knowledge of how to do all kinds of unexpected steps to a one-step and still keep their partners with them. What they will need will be a permanent income to keep the wolf from the door.
May we add a paragraph to the effect that Goethe's version or vision also a bit dimmed by the glory which has befallen the Kaiser?
Some of the University girls are wondering why the flu couldn't have visited them when they spent those five weeks at home washing dishes and cleaning the pantry, instead of waiting until they returned to K. U. and coming at just the time the S. A. T. C. men were giving their dances.

ON THE RETURN OF A BOOK
I give humble and hearty thanks that my friend did not see fit to give this book to his infant as a plaything, nor use it as an ash-tray for his burning cigar, nor as a teething ring for his mastiff.
LENT TO A FRIEND I give humble and hearty thanks for the safe return of this book, which having endured the perils of my friend's bookcase, and the bookcases of my friend's friends, now returns to me in reasonably good condition.
When I lent this book I doomed it as lost: I was resigned to the bitterness of the long parting; I never thought to look upon it pages again.
But now that my book is come back to me, I rejoice and am exceeding glad! Bring bither the fatted morcoce and let us rebind the volume and set it on the shelf of honor; for this book was lent and is returned again.
Presently, therefore, I may return some of the books that I myself have borrowed.
A sympathetic old lady on seeing a Kiltie go by remarked: "The poor lad; it must be cold with nothing on his limbs but those cooties."
—Life.
Phi Beta Kappa-Utter and complete lack of democracy; almost snobish exclusiveness.
FAMILIAR FAILINGS
John Shea—Too busy to answer questions.
Dr. F.B.Dains—a notion that there is only one subject that should be classified as human knowledge—chemistry.
Prof. A, C. C. Terrill--Too great a fondness for giving "popular" lectures. University Senate—The middle class, couple of one, 14 assets.

Campus Opinion
To The Kansan:
After a perusal of the communication of A. R. '19 in the Kansan Monday concerning the Medics and the brutal destruction of dogs, I feel that some statement relative to the position *ox* map of students is necessary and lust.
In the first place, as a student involved, I deny the accusation of "brutality of instinct" as a factor in any way entering in. We are not brutal because we have chosen to follow this profession, to the attainment of which much experimental work on animals is absolutely essential. As the years past have produced the reactions humans in the mayap must protect the present produce those of tomorrow. And is it not both right and merciful that work upon humankind should be preceded by that upon the lower mammals?
In the second place, I deny the "amusement" element. It seems anything but such to us concerned, and the securing of proper results from our experimentation is indeed a grim reality, calling for our serious and diligent attention. Furthermore, an occasional death by errors in administration of anesthetic results in both financial and time loss to the group in question. Nor can we be expected to be infallible; and surely it were infinitely better that we gain as much of our experience as possible here and now, on animals, than to gain it later on our fellowman.
Finally, the accusation of "torture" is alike unfounded. The animals are entirely under the influence of the ether, and consequently insincere it is by reason of our eagerness on this point, that deaths sometimes occur.
We frankly admit the statement that it is "routine class work"; a logically mapped out course of procedure to gain maximum information and technique in minimum time and on minimum number of animals sacrificed. Such being the case, we can hardly plead guilty to the charge of "aiding science." Perhaps a future day will allow some of us to endeavor in this direction; at present we will be content with routine.

How much more interesting a class is when the professor shows that he is enthusiastic about his subject. And how monotonous and tiresome a class is when the professor draws his lecture in a colorless, tired voice. That is, of course, from the standpoint of the student. From the standpoint of the professor, perhaps, he finds blank stares, weary waways, easily diverted attention, of students most annoying and depressing. While, on the other hand, the professor he finds interested faces intelligent, to-the-point questions, and a normal amount of attention inspiring. Perhaps enthusiasm for the subject taught depends on both student and professor. Qui sait? - Minnesota Daily.
ENTHUSIASM
From "Monday Musings," in the Living Church.)
Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice old sport.
There are all sorts of lassies at back-
breaking tasks.
SWEET ALICE'S NEW JOB
And fainted at sight of a snail? On a fertile farm in the valley, old sport.
Sweet Alice, so languid and pale,
Who shuddered aghast at the mention
Syracuse Herald
Far removed from the big city's thrall,
And sweet Alice works hardest on all!
"You think great saying is effected by letting women do men's work?" "Yes, in ways we didn't anticipate. We can now cut down sister's overalls to fit little brother"—Washington Star.
I was talking this afternoon with one of the oldest members of Plymouth, a sturdy old下earen, over ninety years of age. What do you suppose he was talking about? Things that happened before the Civil War? Not a bit of it. He wanted to know about things that had happened within in the last few days. Among other things, he was speaking about the Drives for various funds—The United War Fund, The Red Cross, etc. Said he, "I am greatly interested in all these opportunities for practical Christianity."
Now how about you young folks? "All you need is a heart and a dollar," say the Red Cross posters. Have you the heart not to pay so small a membership fee? As compared with going into the trenches, as compared with going into an overseas hospital as a nurse, it is such a little thing just to give a dollar. It is worth vastly more than that to feel that one is a partner in so Christian an enterprise.
Think of it—a man whose life goes back almost to the days of Napoleon rejoicing in the very latest movement that has challenged our pocket-books? You might think that after so many decades of giving a man, would want to let up a bit. Not so, he is glad to help to the limit of his ability.
Plymouth hopes that every K. U. Congregationalist will join the Red Cross this year. And Plymouth ventures the wish that some other reader of this item, not a Congregationalist, will have his dollar ready when the Drive begins.
Yours very cordially.
ROSS W. SANDERSON, Pastor of Plymouth.
