The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university rather than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University promotes, to be clear; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be generous; to be wise; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to serve the students of the University.

THE NEW CAMPAIGN
"The purpose of the student Young Women's Christian Association shall be to unify the women of the institution in loyalty to Jesus Christ, to lead them to accept him as their personal Saviour, to build them up in the knowledge of Christ, especially through Bible study and Christian service, that their character and conduct may be consonant with their belief. It shall thus associate them with the students of the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist their devotion to the Christian Church and to the religious work of the institution."
When the membership campaign of the Y. W. C. A. is launched Tuesday, every woman in the University will be asked to become a member. When you sign a membership card, keep in mind the purpose of the organization and live up to it.
The Y, W. C. A. is the only inter denominal organization on the Hill. Every woman will have a chance to do her part.
The direct bearing of religion on every-day life has become more evident during the present war than ever before. The boys over there have not it face to face and it now remains to be seen how the women of the University will respond.
THE WAY WALKS OUGHT TO GO—
Every year, annually, each twelve months or about that often, the Kansan appeals to the students, "Please, Please do not cut across the grass and make ugly unisightly paths across the Campus Beautiful."
You've noticed that the paths not only do not disappear but blossom out each year with a whole lot of little brother and sister paths.
The path question was really settled a couple of thousand years ago by one Euclid who discovered that a straight line was the shortest distance between two given points, but the "Campus Beautiful" artists persist in laying out the walks in curves and triangles. We give the buzy, bustling students a rest this time and appeal to the layers out of the walks. But the paths remain.
JUST IN TIME
Had not the S. A. T. C come to an end when it did, it is quite likely that the camp here would have become a Valley Forge—perhaps a Waterloo for many of the men. Medical authorities who inspected the barracks early this fall were dubious as to their safety during the winter, and
predictions of an epidemic of pneumonia during the winter were made by faculty members of wide experience.
"The morge," as the last ward in Sunshine Hospital is known because the more serious cases were always taken there, might have been the last chapter of more cases recorded as "Died of Disease" had the barracks life been allowed to continue. Only the exigencies of a national crisis should demand that men be required to live under such conditions, and the War Department showed wisdom in discontinuing the Corps at the earliest possible moment.
Gloom and despair are doomed to confront the tightwad holiday shopper this year. No longer will the plea of war-time economy serve as sufficient excuse for a small outlay for Christmas purchases.
Tubby's Weekly Letter
Clip This Out and Send It to the K. U. Boy In France
Dear Old Scout:
So many thing happened last week it should take a speed artist to record them
Preceeding the K. U-Baker game Saturday, November 29, the gang got back into old time spirit and staged the first rally this year in the gym. It was some rally! The place was packed with guys in on D. D. clothes. A few women slipped in for seats in back, but some of 'em slipped out when the navy and army got out the gloves. Women are sure queer about some things. There was some singing, and Uncle Jimmy told us what he thought of the Missouri coach for boys with the flue and keeping them cooped up in the home barricks so we could mess 'em around in the big game. Thinking We practiced old Rock Chalk until the rattles hummed. Saturday, we trimmed the Baker squad, something like 20-6.
Long about Monday, the Kansan took a notion the S. A. T. C. bunch ought to be able to do as they pleased, now that the war is over, and went on record as urging the University to vote "Yes" on the motion made by the government to discontinue the unit here. A reporter had been down and looked through the cracks in our eleven palatial barracks, and decided no place for a human being to spend exceptation to our grudge. The Kansan also reckon exception to our grudge. Pretty fine of the Kansan. Most ideas had practically some ideas, but bent 'em under our hats. K. U., backed the paper and came out strong against the S. A. T. C., as an institution in peace times.
Orders have since come that all S. T. C. men here will be demobilized at 4-1. In the mean time no more drill or regulation work except early hours.
By the way, Francis Stevens, a K. U. grad, stopped off here on his way to France with the Presidential party in the hospital staff. He is on the lookout for him.
We got the Aggies to promise to come down Turkey Day to replace the Tigers. Had another peepst Wednesday night and everybody joined in and learned the new Aggie rattler:
"Oh me! Oh my!
We met the Aggie bunch in a field knee deep in slush and mud. It rained and snowed Wednesday night and continued part of Thursday—the sun did the rest.
Won't we black Manhattan's eye!
Won't she wear and won't she row
them down?
The score was 13-7 for the home team. It been a sickly football season all around, but K. U. has suffered the loss of all its staff of coaches and many of its old players. There be no post-season game this year. We'll be budding on you fellows to come back and put us back in the ranks.
One of the sad things here is the conservation, clothing idea. High school swatfers and blue jeans are worn piecing out the S. A. T. C. outfit's clothing adding to his supply of military clothes. It sure looks like peace.
The whole U. S. is back to normal. Witness the Christmas shopping lists in the papers, and the crowds at the dances. Folks have picked up dancing just where they left off. The fellows have the same camel back hump despite their military training. Habit is hard to break.
Here's looking forward to a line rom you.
Yours,
TUBBY.

Theme Writers Pace In Addisonian Time
Does it work? Does—it—work? Does it work? Charlotte Mish in Film Fun.
Revelille has sounded. Wake up, Rhetoric Students. Get in step. Keep up with the column. All keep together.
The rhetoric department has been trying to march in step out of tune with the times. The college students have been marching along at the same old pre-war Addisonian, Johnsoninion time, handing in papers on the "A Winter Scene." or "My Trip Through the Rockies," to bring out the fact that a preposition is a poor word to end a sentence with.
Come on, Rhetoric Students, keep up with the one, two, three, four of the S. A. T. C. boys, who are learning to write military letters, military ordnance, military reports, not to mention the subjects in the War Issues courses.
