The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at Kent to go for further than merely printing the news by standing for them. To play no favour, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to help the students of the University.

DON'T LET MANHATTAN GET AHEAD OF K. U.
The agricultural college at Manhattan is urging the men of the S. A. T, C. to remain in school and offers to provide a place for them to room free of charge up to the Christmas vacation.
Just what sort of rooms will be offered the students at the Agricultural College is not known but it is quite likely that a number of rooming houses have been thrown open to the students who would be unable to remain in school unless such provision were made.
Such an arrangement here would undoubtedly be the means of keeping many students in the University who have funds insufficient to carry them on further in their work if it is necessary to pay for board and room. The residents of the town, the University, and the business people, all benefit more or less directly from the presence of a large number of students on the hill. Many students who are now planning to go home would remain here and perhaps stay three more years should rooms now be provided for them.
--mays. The cheerful room furnishes a very convenient meeting place for the students whose rooms are not hardy to the campus and whose land-ladies are not enthusiastically hospitable to their lodgers' friends.
Who will be the first to offer rooms till the beginning of the second quarter?
The crown prince says that he is perfectly content to return to Germany as a simple citizen. We have no doubt that if he is a citizen at all, that he will be a "simple" one.
Why not add a "Married French Girl" department to the casualty list for the benefit of the American girl who is disturbed by the notice in the paper that ten thousand American soldiers have married French women.
HERE'S TO THE HOSTESS HOUSE
Hosts of good things have been developed from S. A, T. C that, unlike the barracks need not be cast into the salvage heap when the S. A, T. C is demobilized.
The Hostess House for soldiers at Myers Hall has proved to be a much-needed home-center for the University as well as for the soldiers. Many students find it pleasant to drop into the reading room and pick up a magazine in their spare moments.
The pressing room with its electric iron and handy needle and threat is a convenience that many men who live in boarding houses where accommodations are few and far between, would hate to lose.
The writing desks could be utilized by students, both men and women in peace times as well as in S. A. T. C.
Let's keep this Hostess House with its victoria, piano, writing desks, and reading facilities as a real home-center for all students.
We notice that a regular air-mail is to be started between New York and Chicago on December 15. Let us return thanks that our postman still clings to his horse and cart. It would be a terrible thing to see K. U. women scrawl out on the roof of Fraser to halt the postman between classes for "that" letter.
POLITICS IS NO MORE!
For once in the history of K. U., men seem to have no interest in politics. After long years of criticism of women for indifference to things political, comes an election in which men are not sufficiently interested to put up a fight against a woman candidate.
With election day almost here, the only senior ticket out is headed by a woman. If the men are too indifferent to put out an opposition ticket, they can expect to be "kidded" forever after for letting a woman walk off with the senior presidency without any objection on their part. And they will deserve the kidding.
"Oh, would the gift the giftie gie'le"
"...
To see ourselves as others seas'. The surest way for a girl to find out just what is wrong with her face, and just what mistake nature made that keep her from being beautiful, is to have her name suggested for the K. U. Beauty Contest and then listen to remarks that are made as to just why she shouldn't be considered.
YE ARMY SPENDTHRIFT
Few University men in normal times have thirty dollars a month to spend after paying for their board, room, tuition, clothing, medical attendance, and insurance. Yet in normal years fewer chronic cases of financial embarrassment have been board of. At the present time, shortly before pay-day, nearly every man in the barnracks is "busted" and owes money.
The explanation is simple. Next week's board bill is no longer a matter of worry, and the rent never comes due at the barracks. When a man does not need to worry about his next meal is coming from, he quite naturally becomes improvident.
it is the customary thing in the army, but it's a bad habit for peace times, as the boys will realize ere ong. Here's our sympathy!
(OU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS
When the dinner gong rang the girls were all eager to get to the table. But they waited for the girl who had her mother as guest to enter the dining room first.

Ask Roomie
She Will Answer Anything There a Week Right Here
Dear Roomie:
Write-Call or Phone the Kansan
Will you please tell me what you'd do in a case like this? You know, my very best gob, who hasn't been paid for a long time, and won't be till Sunday, had a check from home the other day. Well, Roomie, he cashed it and put the money in his shoe to hide it from the awful people that have been swiping things from the barracks. The next day he woke up and the shoes were swiped. So my lovely gob is just dead broke. Now, Roomie, what I want to know is this. Would it be proper for me to take him to the picture show and the Varsity this week, me buying the tickets, of course? Please answer right away.
Dear S. S.
Sailor's Sweetheart.
Under the circumstances, I think it would be correct for you to take your gob to the movies. If you didn't, he might be moved to crime. He might swim somebody else's shoes in the hope of finding a little cash, and that would be very wrong. Young ladies must never encourage young men to steal, you know, even for the sake of taking them to Rommel.
Dear Roomie:
Suppose the sergeant leaves you in charge of two or three squads of men after taps with instructions to take their names if they make any noise. If you don't, he tells you, he will come up and get your name for a week's session behind the hash-counter. Suppose your bunk lets out a yell and the sergeant dashes up the stairs and wants to know who it was.
This is an important ethical question. Should you tell on your bunkite or should you get yourself in bad refusing to turn in his name. Please tell me what would be best, as it's liable to happen in my barracks most any night.
No.2, Rear Rank
Dear No. 2:
After due deliberation, we believe the best thing would be to be sound asleep when the sergeant comes upstairs. It isn't customary to put men on K. P. if they go to sleep while in bed, so you should be safe.
Dear Roomie:
When one goes to the Cafeteria for lunch, is it correct for one's date to carry one's tray in addition to his own?
In Doubt
Year In Doubt:
It is correct for your escort to carry your tray as well as his own, but it is highly unsafe. He's awfully likely to drop both trays, and that would be embarrassing. Unless he happens to be an ex-waiter, it would be better for you to carry your own tray.
Campus Opinion
Roomie.
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Do you want to swear at anything on the Hill" Turn in your criticism to the Kansas.
Is the University to degenerate into a school for prize fighters? Is it to rival the German universities with their practice of duelling? Is such an uncivilized and demoralizing bible supposed upon the University campus?
This column belongs to all the students of the University, and communications criticizing or praising conditions on the Hill are welcomed.
Are you so enthusiastic about something that you want to rave about it in print? Turn in the appreciation.
Horrified Reader.
The plan to include boxing in the University curriculum is outrageous, and the authorities must realize that to take any such step would ruin the reputation of the institution. It must not be introduced into the school.

THE SKELETON IN THE SHEEP
The decline of freak legislation appears to be one-of-the-by-products of war. The sanity brought on by wartime fundamentals is manifesting itself even in states where the most fantastic laws are wrong to flourish.
Consider the bed sheet law. It is to Kansas that the world owes the conception of enforcing the luxury of an 8-foot sheet. With infinite wisdom the representative of the people of Kansas made hotel beds safe for the numbing public by prescribing that "each sheet shall be 99 inches long." That was in April, 1913. It was a legislative scoop.
California, smarting under the humiliation of being beaten to this enactment by a rival in freak legislation, held off until July, 1917. Then its legislature decreed that all beds, except those in private homes, "must be provided with sheets at least 81 inches wide and 98 inches long."
The California state institutions, anxious to please the legislators on whose bounty they depend, forthwith ordered sheets 9 feet long, throwing in for good measure an extra 10 inches above the floor. The immates inmates of state institutions endured nightly entanglements in their bedding.
Now the laugh is in California. Its law became effective with cotton goods soaring in price to unknown heights. With raw cotton at 30 cents a pound, instead of at 10 cents when Kansas proclaimed its prosperity by flaunting huge bed sheets before envious neighbors, surplus sheeting is extravagance. Now the California State Board of Control has included that 9-foo sheets may be dispensed with in war time; accordingly the board purges order all sheets cut to 7 feet 6 inches. But that would be in direct violation of the state law, which makes mandatory sheets at least 8 feet 2 inches.
California is in a quandary. The states where bed sheets are a law unto themselves await the decision. It better to obey the law and wear cotton or to save cotton and break the law? - Glendon Alline, New York
