The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for play. To play no favorer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to charismatic; to serve the more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students of the University.

--and were bored because they see the place every day. The other half were bored because they weren't in the least interested in engineering.
Could Capt. Daniel B. Miller's verdict clearing the S. A. T. C. officers of certain charges be termed a Daniel come to judgment?
GET BEHIND AND PUSH
What do you think if this? K. U. will enter runners in A.A.U. race to be held on the streets of Kansas City, New Year's Day. We have some of our men lined up. There are Dewall, Rodkey, Deering, Fitzgerald, Brown and Hunt. All these fellows are working out and promise to bring K. U. the big honors of the race. Slap these fellows on the shoulder and let them know that you are with them.
A COURSE IN BOXING
We will eat our Christmas dinner in Paris—Kaiser Bill. Mebbe so, mebbe so.
Let us hope that the public prints for once have the manager of athletics right and that he is going to employ a professional to teach boxing in the University.
A COURSE IN BOXING
The athletic manager of the University has given the petticated minds and berriedened souls of the Hill a sound and reverberating shock by his proposal to employ a professional to teach boxing. Mercy, but it's too awful to think of!, they say. To employ a person of so degraded a trade as a pupilist to teach our pure and high-minded. Gracious!
Boxing is a form of exercise and recreation well-rounded man with a he mind and disposition should have. If he has a Cluny lace mind and a marshallow temperament, boxing is too far down the hill for him. But life you know 'isn't all Cluny lace or marshmallows and one of the chief functions of the University is to train physically and mentally capable men who can withstand the hard knocks of the world and lick the jobs they go up against after graduation.
That's why boxing is one of the things that is needed, and if it is to be taught here it should be taught well, just as any other subject. Maybe Professor Willard, our near neighbor, would lead a seminar or two.
DID THE TRIP HELP?
Taking calls to Newcastle was an highly essential duty compared with showing engineers through the Engineering Buildings. That's what happened, Saturday, when practically every company in the S. A. T. C. spent several hours in and around Marvin Hall.
About half the men who were taken on the sightseeing trip were engineers
least interested in engineering.
The visiting of points of real interest about the University should be encouraged in the chaperoned journeys, but long stays in buildings frequented by every student are more destructive than helpful to the morale. Practically every man picks up many useful facts in the slide lectures, which seem to be carefully selected and include matters of general interest, but no soldier-student enjoys visiting the places he sees daily.
German minenwerfers in captured towns are a boon to small French boys with a mechanical bent. These toys are proving a protection to family alarm clocks which can now run in peace without being taken apart to see where the tick comes from.
The penitentiary at Walla Walla,
Wash., has been quarantined on
account of the flu. None of the fellows
an leave now.
AN OPENING FOR A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN
For the past two years K. U. has been without a student directory—one of the most needed things of all in the student's long list of needs.
This year there are close to three thousand students enrolled in the University; three thousand students who are scattered from one end of Lawrence to the other, with no way of being located except through the registrar's office. This office is open only from 8:30 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Over two thousand students are in military training here but their company and barracks address cannot be learned by friends except through an accidental meeting on the Hill or down town.
The urgency of a student directory need not be dwelt upon, for it is obvous. The pressing question now is—how shall it be procured? The case of publishing a student directory would be approximately $250. With fifty or seventy per cent of the students behind a movement to publish one, independent of the state printer, the individual cost would be slight.
With the prospects of a stable student body in winter term, the only objection to the plan is removed. A successful student directory could be gotten up by some enterprising person or organization, and would be of service to K, U, as well as a practical thing for the promoter.
"Doug," our movie hero, has gone and done it. The man of smiles has seen divived by his wife. And we thought he could never cast a shadow.
Readable Verse
Discovered by Readers of the University Dally Kansan
Towns are set down in the casualty list
That few of us ever have known;
Hamlets that even geography missed-
Fiction and Maytown and Rhone.
THE LITTLE TOWNS
Towns whose main street is a broad
distance lane
path Hydeville and Goshen and Nye.
Morehead and Wahoo and Nile.
Sending their best with a smile,
Laugh at the whimsical nausea, if you
Hamlets with only a store and a shop.
Giving a boy for the cause,
Giving up one's own train.
Brought into print with a sight:
Home of a soldier who waited it
totting a valley or crowning a hill.
baroly stop- Atlas and Foxport and Hawes.
Reading the lists for their loss.
Towns that were eager to see their boys
Grapevine and Cross-roads and Frost
Towns that are peaceful, old-fashioned,
and slow.
Towns that will never seem paltry again.
Hallowed by graves over there,
Vallant their children who perished
Ozark and Red Clouds and Cliff Hinton Gilmore. In Leslie's Weekly.
Song brings of itself a cheerfulness
that wakes the heart of joy.
Euripides.
In Leslie's Weekly. ___
Song brings of itself a cheerfulness
like men
Ozark and Red Cloud and Clan.

Well, I've got more respect for my wife than I ever had before in all my life. How in the world a woman will live a lifetime with a man and wash dishes three times a day without rebuilding I don't know. I never knew what a slave's task washing dishes was until I got to France and had to wash my own mess kit.-Soldier writing to the Stars and Stripes.
A circular rake which is said to be both efficient and labor saving has been patented by a woman. The idea came to her as a result of an accident which regimed an ordinary rake and made it work better and with less fort- springfield Daily Republican.
What is claimed to be a world's riveting record was announced by the Great Lakes engineering works at Detroit. Percy Balcom, employed in the Ecore shipbuilding yard of the company, finished 1970 seven-eighth-inch rivets in a 7/8-hour working day. The best previous mark under like conditions, according to the company was 1838 rivets—Springfield Daily Republican.
