The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of four students better than merely printing the news by seating them in a chair; holding to play no favoritier; be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser friends; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of Kansan.
--but through the turf, the terror.
Does not intend to limit us
To rabbit stew or ham!
He has a bird of prey intended,
A bird of lineage regal,
By serving to America
The President's possible eagle.

GREETINGS!
Welcome to our army camp—faithful rooters, alumni, little brothers, Kansas Citians, Aggies, home town girls, teachers, et al. We hope you'll be interested in our campus and student body a la militaire.
If you remember us before we mobilized, you will marvel at the change, the rigid and unwonted discipline, the uniformity of it all. If you never saw the campus in civilian attire, you will be impressed just the same, for you will have heard tales of the wild, reckless college life and will be disillusioned by the orderly, systematized way in which every matter of everyday life is conducted.
You will see today long files of clean-cut, khaki-clad men, where before were shifting crowds of colorfully garbed college boys. You will see an orderly arrangement of bunks and blankets in their sleeping quarters instead of the customary disarray of the pennant-smothered, overdecorated students' room.
You, mothers and fathers, will find your boys working and playing under influences different from any that ever governed them before. Honestly, tell us now, don't you rather like the look of things, in spite of the doleful letters they like to write home? Don't you like to see them looking taller and broader with the addition of a uniform and a dozen or more pounds to your mental image of them as they left home early in the fall? You will laugh with them at the eccentricities of the sergeants, and delight in visiting during the boys' short period of freedom.
Of course you will sympathize with them when they tell of their troubles, and rejoice with them when they say they will be out of the army soon. But you must assure them that they should be glad they received even the scanty training they did get before the end of the conflict.
And then of course there will be the game. It will be interesting as a game, but you will find fewer changes in it than in the life of the student. It will be with the Aggies, second only to Missouri as a rival, and it will be easy to work up real old-time enthusiasm. Cheering will be better organized and there is good reason to believe that the contest will start on time.
So welcome to our army camp, all you visitors. You have the password today. We hope you will like us in our new garb as well as in the old, but will approve our decision to return, with the rest of the world, to a status quo.
The old grads who come back today will say we have something to be thankful for. The Administration Building they longed for is almost done, and a real University Commons is in operation at the Hostess House.
Yes, folks, the prof who calls for notebooks the day before vacation and gives a quiz the day after, is still with us. When there's only one day of vacation, it is indeed a refined form of cruelty.
The unexpected, decisive, and complete end of the war brought about the death of the Students' Army Training Corps. Termination of hostilities made the organization not only a useless thing but a positive menace to the efficiency of the educational institutions of the country.
DEMOBILIZATION OF THE S.A.T.C.
Had the war continued, as was expected when the Student Army was planned in September, the S. A. T. C. would have become an all-important branch of the service. The extension of draft age limits made necessary an immediate source from which officers could be drawn, and the universities and colleges of the country were paid the high compliment of being selected for this purpose. Here would be gathered the educated class of the country's young man-power, untouched by the selective draft, and given an opportunity to show their ability, or their lack of it. Transfer to officers' training camps, to army cantments, or permission to remain in school and continue technical work, were to be the ultimate purposes of the organization.
What would have become a powerful instrument in helping the nation win the war now seems to have been an extravagance, but it must be remembered that the S. A. T. C. was planned for war and not for peace. The eleven bars built by the University will be useless, the equipment issued the men cannot be used again, and the government has expended a vast amount in pay and for mess-contracts. The founders of the S. A. T. C. built wisely for war-times, but too well for the days of peace.
But with the termination of hostilities and the beginning of reconstruction, the S. A. T. C. died a natural death, rather prolonged, according to its members, but still as speedy as army red tape could make it. The inconveniences and discomforts of barracks life were endured without a murmur during the days of the war, but with the signing of the armistice, the rigid discipline and restraints placed upon the men became irksome. The morale has declined in spite of the efforts of officers to keep it up, for the very natural reason that the men felt their work was useless.
Who will be the first to suggest a workable disposition of Barracks 1 to 1 inclusive?
With military precision gone from the Hill, will profs return to the habit of holding classes after the whistle blows?
THE GREAT GAME
The first kick-off came in 1914. The kaiser's team rushed the ball toward the Allies' goal through neutral territory. The misplay was "called" by the spectators on the sidelines, but the referee, evidently a benchman from the kaiser's home town, had a side bat on the game and allowed the out of bounds play.
The big game is over and the Central Powers are out of the conference as a penalty for illegal playing. Four quarters of grueling play resulted in a touchdown for the Allies, despite the efforts of their unprincipled rivals to keep the ball in Allied territory.
Weight told in the opening quarter. A headlong plunge by von Hindenburg, the German slugger, and his guards tore a hole in the lighter formation. Then the Russian end muffled the ball and for a time it looked as if the rough bunch from across the Rhine would have things their way.
Von Hindenburg chrises the bail to the Allies' five-yard line before the Russian end could recover. The first quarter ended with the bail in Allied territory. Protests by the spectators on unfair play by the Central Powers failed to keep the Germans from repeating their illegal offenses. Rules were flagrantly broken and discarded. The visiting team forgore the traditions long honored among sportsmen.
The quarter opened with Germany shoving the ball deeper into Allied territory. Montenegro, quarterback, was seriously injured early in the game and was carried off the field. Haig, fullback, succeeded in pushing the team out of a slump by his excellent forward work. He carried the ball for several yards.
Another player of questionable character was placed on the German team at the opening of the second quarter. Bulgaria proved as un-sportsmanlike as the rest of the German eleven.
At the end of the first half there was a demonstration in the stands by spectators who demanded that the game be called to prevent further rough work by the Rhine bunch. The Allies refused to accept the terms, declaring they would play to a finish.
A fumble by von Bernstorff early in the third quarter gave the ball to the Allies and in the scrimmage, Joffre gained several yards. He passed the ball to Haig who succeeded in carrying it for another small gain. The Russian end showed unmistakable signs of weariness toward the last few minutes of play in the third period. Just before the whistle blew a substitute started to warm up to replace the weakened Russian end. It was old U. S., the reliable. His entrance into the game brought some of the spectators, who were rapidly leaving the grounds, back to the stands.
In the last quarter the substitute replaced the Russian quarter who was put out after a brief struggle to hold his own against the German mob. With the Germans on the offensive, and gaining steadily, the position of the hard pressed Allies was extremely critical. Foch's command "to hold the line" brought forth for the second time during the contest the grim response "they shall not pass." Old U. S. was used to stem the tide. The German horde found it impossible to pass him. He proved invincible. The last weak effort of the Hohenzollers dropped the ball into Foch's lap and he, aided by splendid interference by Haig and old U. S., tore down the field for a touchdown.
The victory gave the Allies the championship of the world,
Citizen soldiers are returning to private life, but there is this consolation—there are a million men in the United States who now could spring to arms before sunset.
What has become of the men who used to carry note-books in their hip-pockets?
THE BIRD
THANKSGIVING
The turkey, the beloved bird,
To which we dedicate
Transmission this not this year
present on the plate.
Though memory may fondly dwell
Upon the absentee,
When properly presented him to
Her heroes o'er the sea.
But though he's bought the turkeys up,
Uncle Dugge, Sam.
NOVEMBER 28,1918.
For even if the pumpkin pie
That mother used to make
too much cakes,
Along with frosted cake,
A slice of tender turkey breast,
Or leg of flavor line.
Or cooler of cold holder-boy
On Forshall's battle-line.
To help Columbia's gallant sons,
And see Old Glory win.
God speed, old gobble, plump and proud,
Be my new way to France.
Your drum-sticks will be there to beat
The Berlinward advance.
Wed live upon a noisy crust
and an exotic garden.
To help Columbia's gallant sons,
This year's Thanksgiving day is a world feast rather than a national feast. For the people of the earth have emerged, let us hope forever, from the dark shadow of dominant militarism. Four years of slaughter have come to an end. They were a horror, but they had their glories, too, of devotion to ideals and of willing sacrifice for the unborn generations. The mail-panoplied state is made ridiculous in the flight of him who incarnated it and the retreat of its armies and the surrender of its fleet. After the-long agony comes the relief of such a peace as makes us feel "an arrow is in the heart of Death," a God is at the doors of Fate."
We the people of the United States give thanks that we not only turned the tide of war against the violators of public faith and law, but gave to the victory its moral significance. The peace we won is a people's peace. And the only rule on earth shall be by our efforts and we have saved mankind by our example in foregoing all snail.
Remains now for us to make our democracy the more worthy of the emulation of the nations for whom we have set it on high, not as a material thing but as a way to soul's salvation for man alive.
Best we can give thanks in that prayer which is service of others—even our late enemies. Let us help to rebuild the world, not alone the great world of the maps, but the little world that is each man's self, so that hate in our hearts shall have no place but only love. For though to us is victory given we must not forget that we are sinners too against the light.
Nor must we forget that there are other tyrannies yet to be destroyed, which, like the Teuton one, claim partnership with God. For their destruction let us gird up our loins and go to battle with the conviction of persuasion and with ballots for our weapons with the king of nations and other lands, and men shall live in rights secure and duty seemly done.

So, in giving thanks be mindful that it is man's part to give more. Give yourself to your race, to your country, to your brother man. Those dead who gave themselves have shown us the way to build the future of humanity. We must worth while in the light which soon we must all leave or in the darkness whither we go.—William Marion Reedy, in The Mirror.
