The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, thereby more than merely printing the news by standing for the demo the University has organized to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to be problem solvers; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students the students of the University.

WE WANT IT!
The end-of the war has done away with the necessity for conducting things military on a large scale. The usefulness of the Students' Army Training Corps is ended, but the nation must still have military preparedness.
Through adopting the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, the University can do its part in working for the defense of the nation should another conflict arise. According to many military authorities this is not only a possible, but a probable contingency.
Col. Theodore Reinach, of the French Mission, has expressed this view by saying, "With officers already trained at your universities you would be better prepared for the next war than you were for this." In the plans for the R. O. T. C., which is now offered to the University, it is stated that membership in the organization will be voluntary. Not all students would need to enter it, but as a maximum of three hours of drill-each week is required, it would be very easy for the average student to go into the Corps, thus fulfilling his peace-time obligation to the government.
The colleges and universities of the country are the logical source of army officers. The R, O, T, C. will probably be established in all schools now having the S. A. T. C., and in many smaller institutions.
A commanding officer and two commissioned junior officers would give the necessary discipline to prevent a failure similar to last year's attempt at a student regiment. The military discipline would help maintain school spirit.
The University of Kansas will be depriving its men of an opportunity to serve their country as officers in case of another war, and will find itself out of step with the other large schools of the country if it does not adopt the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Rumor has it the kaiser hasn't given up. The Clown prince is negotiating with revolutionists to place him and his papa back in the family homestead. Heinie still feels he must help heaven to run the universe.
SWAT THE RUMOR
Of all the blatant busybodies, Dame Rumor leads the process. On the heels of the opening of school came the supposition that the fu was spreading and that eventually the University would have to close for the rest of the quarter. The Kansan has
ignored these rumors, occasionally running a news story to the effect that local health authorities pronounced the flu epidemic under control.
A few new cases of flu developed and Dame Nurror hurried to spread the glad tidings, increasing the number of new cases with each telling of the tale.
Today the rumor was again hammering to make itself heard. As it has seemed to draw converts to its way of thinking it is time to check it,
These exaggerated tales will undermine the most optimistic student body ifnot denied. Challenge the next person who comes to you with a flu rumor. Pin him down to facts. Get him to acknowledge that his information in second-hand, or that conditions are not so serious as he has pictured them.
The University of Kansas is batting to keep its doors open for the sake of the students. If closed again, the disorganization will be serious and the results will be hard to overcome.
The next time the rumor circulates, in your vicinity, swait it; and if you go a step farther and swat the originator, so much the better.
Help to keep the University open.
One of the fortunate things about peace is that the street loaler will be back on the job.
Let us hope that the demobilization if S. A, T. C, will soon be accomplish! When University men come to the point where they have to sit around in circles playing 'Simon says thumbs up' and drop the handkerchief with their officers to keep themselves amused, it is time to take serious steps to prevent an annoying rivalry between the kindergarten and the University.
SANTA CLAUS IS BACK
Santa Claus is back on the job. After two years of idleness, the banished saint will be allowed to deliver his wares this year. The National Council of Defense has removed the ban on Christmas shopping.
Fill up the family wallet. This year Aunt Lucy will be looking for the labot promised four years ago.
The twins will be critical of the mechanical toys handed them. You can't get past Johnny or Jamie with the plea that it's war time and Santa didn't have the latest toy model in his workshop.
Mary's going to demand a doll with real hair and Grandma will want the gay scarf for which she's been yearning. Perfume ought to come back into this style this year, and bedroom slippers for dad. Dad's met the emergency for several years by padding the old slippers with newspapers. Cuff links, silver souvenir spoons, monogrammed toilet sets, and fancy waste baskets will all be signs of the season's greetings. The hire girl will want jewelry. Ties and socks and cigars will be back in the running with Mary Ann exhibiting once more her exquisite sense of choice. And fancy calendars will again come into their own.
Taking it all in all, it will seem like Christmas.
To whom shall the world henceforth behone
TO WHOM SHALL THE WORLD BELONG?

And who shall go up and passges it!
To the Men of Great Mind
And whose passion for peace will

-To the Men who will bear
Who will rather be lavaous?
And where they find evil redress it.
Who, regardless of danger, will do it?
Their full share of Life's care,
And will rest not till wrongs be all
called.
Sit the Haven of Safety be sighted.
And they shall go up and possess it!
Overmuch, overlong, has the world
—To these shall the world henceforth
beholes.
We are here by God's help to redress
it.

Editor Kansan:—
In the last few days men on the Hill who are members of the S. A. T. C and have fraternity brothers who are officers in the army here have been receiving privileges which others have been denied solely because the officers and privates belong to the same fraternity. This is not fair to the men on the outside and a true fraternity man would not stoop to such a low act. This has been done and is being done here all the time. It is a poor practice and causes the discipline in the companies to become lax, as the general feeling is that there is no use trying to make good when the other fellow has the pull, even though the man on the outside is the best man. It is a condition that should not exist anywhere and least of all in the army.

Because so many lack information about the force to which we abply the term "Bolshevism" one of the faculty members who has spent much of his time in Russia when asked to ex-
service, it situation gets the following details in its history:
Russia Tried Experiment Once Before With Tragic Results
The Revolutionary movement in Russia had its beginning when the officers who invaded France during the Napoleonic wars returned with a desire to introduce new ideas into Russian politics. Secret societies with which Alexander I, was privately in sympathy were organized. Nicholas I an energetic ruler, stamped out the among intelligent peoples. During the first half of the nineteenth century all the literary men of Russia were imbued with new ideals. The liberation of the serfs under Alexander 2, was done under pressure and was far from being all that could be desired. An organization of the Terrorists made the mistake of assassinating Alexander 2, and his son Alexander 3. They then came forward with reactionary ideas and the next period saw Russia going back into darkness rather than forward into enlightenment. The revolutionary tendency began to mix with socialism and the question was no longer how to copy western governments but to find a way to try out ideas in government. The Russian has had no chance to use any influence in government affairs, or to be trained in politics. Steady growth and development resulted without experience. Until the Duma was opened no less than half-dozen factions were represented among those were the Social Revolutionists who were the Menshikvi and the Bolshivki. The letter was the extremists.
Linked with this question of party difference was that of poor industrial conditions. Men ill paid, dissatisfied, with no common interest and no chance to rise became extremes of the worst kind known. The aristocracy, the aristocraties and the peasants, with no class between to act in a "buffer."
To these discontented people without any patriotism as we know it, merely a feeling of the power of their nation, came the war. The average soldier knew nothing of why he was killing and had no definite aim in view.
War with its attendant misery and poverty heaped on the smouldering fires of revolution proved too much for Russia and the insurgent forces of the various factions are tearing at the city. The sheen "sheen" though it is merely the name of a portion of the movement that's striving for recognition.
