The Daily Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university of Kansas; to showcase its strengths; and to stand for the ideals the University holds; to be a college; to fail to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to share knowledge of its ability the students of the University.

MAKING ROOMING HOUSES HOME
THE opportunity is offered to the women of
the University to work out the roominghouse
problem for themselves. If they take it, they will
be building a firm foundation for the women who
come after them.
The house presidenta council, made up of presidents elected by the women who live in rooming houses, will work with the council of the W. S. G. A. and the adviser of women to solve individual and group difficulties, or at least to discuss them. Each house president will be responsible for the women who live in her house.
Many University rules are broken unknowingly and many through misunderstanding. Mis understandings often clear up through better acquaintance. The house president, a link between the women and the council of the W, S G A., will be able to promote closer acquaintance among University women.
Some problems of student life will never be solved until residence halls for students are provided by the state. But this at least is a step toward closer understanding among women. Let's try the house president plan.
We feel that the Senate has acted wisely in abolishing the week of examinations. The tense nervous feeling that a dreadful "Day of Judgment" is coming has disappeared and the students are progressing nicely without the fear that a whole week will be devoted to finding out what they do not know.
THE CHANGING SENATE
IF the Senate isn't careful, it is going to become overwhelmingly popular with the student body. Witness the decision to continue things as they were instead of tearing up the schedule in the middle of things as a proper climax to a late beginning and quarantine.
The students really couldn't expect anything but change, after the gym regulations last year. And they were expecting it. Some of them had telephoned their families they were coming home because they simply couldn't stand another thing in the way of change. And not only the students, but the faculty outside the Senate and even the members themselves were doubtful. You can't ever tell what the Senate members will do when they assemble in formal session.
But this time, setting aside all tradition and regarding the rights of suffering humanity, they did not change. They left the University to rest a little while in peace.
Suspicion points her finger at the navy man who shows up on the campus in a khaki outfit. Everybody knows the navy blue garb is at the cleaner's, but what became of the man who wore the khaki?
BARGAIN DAY
COLLEGE girls have a way of disposing of their old clothes that should be commented upon. When Susie tires of her blue and tan dress and Edith has a hunch her brown tam isn't becoming, and Mary and Elizabeth and several other girls in the house decide they are tired of their wearing apparel, they hold a rumple sale and dispose of their belongings to the highest bidder. Susie will appear in class the day following decked out in Helen's best bib and tucker, while Mary Jane will be mistaken for
With very little money, and a keen eye for business any girl can, replenish her wardrobe without calling on dad for extra change.
Edith in the old brown tam.
College men might follow the same profitable system. Jimmie's Christmas tie, slightly fringed at the edges, could be sold for a trifling sum to Dick, and Jimmie could buy in return the purple socks of Eddie. Whether or not army regulations would interfere with the wearing of these bargains remains to be seen. Surely the idea is right in line with Ucleam Sam's conservation scheme,
TAKE YOUR TIME
THE war has ended, but not for the Students' Army Training Corps. And the question of when the armistice for that section of the nation's armed forces will be signed is the most important of any, next to eating and sleeping, in the mind of the rooky. Opinions differ and arguments without number result each day in the matter of demobilization.
The S. A. T. C, costs the government in pay to the enlisted privates a matter of $4,500,000 each month, not including the pay to the officers. In addition, the expense of their housing, feeding and tuition must be met. Meals alone, at sixty-five cents a day, per man, total $75,500 a day, or close to $3,000 a month. The barracks in which many of the men are housed are to be paid for by the government through the schools.
The War Department is now devoting its chief energies to the matter of cancelling contracts, a preliminary necessary to the demobilization of the armed forces. The Student Army contracts, while large and affecting many men, are among the smallest with which the War Department has to deal, and it may be safely assumed that they will be one of the last matters to which the war office turns its attention.
The University of Kansas has all its men housed in eleven barrack buildings, erected at a cost close to $10,000 each. Nearly every other large school has quartered its soldiers in fraternity houses and buildings on the campus making little construction necessary. The abandonment of the eleven buildings here will probably be preceeded by much deliberation.
So the student doughboy and jackie may hope to be released as soon as is practicable, but not before other and more necessary adjustments in the nation's military forces have been effected. Meanwhile the morale must be kept up and the work must go on in accordance with the War Department's orders. Looking for a loophole to get out will not help the local branch of the service.

TRUE TO TRADITION
An English, Irish and Scottish soldier were returning to camp after a stroll. They were footsore and tired, and a kindly farmer on his way home from market game them a lift on the road. The soldiers were very grateful and rewarded to reward the farmer for his kindness.
Said the Englishman: "Let's stand him a drink!"
"Sure," said Pat, "that is agin the law. Let's give him some baccyl."
"Hoot, ma laddies!" interjected the Scot.
"Don't be extravagant. Let's shake hands with
the mon and wish him good night."
Kerrigan: "Do ye think, Kelly, that after th' war th' wur-rkin' payle iv Europe will git a square deal?"
DISCARD
Kelly: "They will if they discard th' kings,
quenes, an' knaves!"
ON GUARD
The rookie was doing his first "bit" of guard duty. Along toward midnight he heard a crackling sound in the brush.
A new recruit, placed on guard for the first time, about midnight observed a shadowy form approaching from the distance. Following his instructions, he called out:
"Officer of the day! What in blazes are you doing out this time of the night?"
"Halt! Who goes there?"
PUTTING HIM RIGHT
"Officer of the day," came the reply.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
"Shut up!" a hucky voice replied; "I ain't going; I'm coming back."
THEN HE FELL IN
Sergeant Major: Fall out, anyone that knows anything about motorcars. (Cadet falls out). Now, then, what do you know about 'em?
Well,定心小辌 Iown a train six.
Sergeant Major: Oh, you do? Well go and clean the adjutant's motorcycle
Cadet: Well, sir, I own a twin six.

Brown and red and yellow are the hollows of the

"Bob died in France in August" were the simple words she penned.
For yesterday the word came from the sister of a friend
Yet they turned my heart to ashes and they drew across the sky
A veil that clouds the sunshine till the day I come to die; ...
I could have spared a hundred from the store of friends I keep
The glory of the summer and the promise of the spring.
The glory of the summer and the promise of the spring
O autumn hills of *Funston* where I wait a prisoner
With hands and feet so fettered that I cannot even

SALUTE THE DOUGHNUT
By PYT. WILLIAM WATTLE,
Brigade Surgeon, since 14th Depot Brigade
Camp Funston, Kansas
The humble doughnut, alias the cruller, alias the fried cake, alias the "sinker," finally has won a niche among the illustratus in the Hall of Fame. As long ago as the oldest ancestors among us could remember the more or less digestible bit of fried dough has occupied a distinct place among American foods, but, though it has survived many more pretentious offerings of the culinary art, it remained for the great war to give it opportunity to achieve the post of distinction it now holds. And it gained this fond position only through the untiring efforts of the lassies of the Salvation Army to place it upon a pedestal, that all might gaze and render deserved homage. Just as soon as this country declared war against the Huns the Salvation Army in the United States determined to play an important part in looking after our boys in the war zones, and arrangements quickly were made to send considerable forces of men and women to Europe to open canteens and minister to our men at arms in every possible. Even in those early days the programme of helpful endeavor was made to embrace the coking of innumerable doughnuts and their distribution among our fighting boys; and later the "kind of pie which mother used to make" was added to the menu. With this plan in view it was obvious that all Salvation Army lassies sent abroad must be able to cook, and a qualification necessary to remain near the front, was that the young women must be able to turn out a certain number of doughnuts and pies a day. Three lassies—they work in shifts of three, one mixing, one cutting and one baking—must be able to turn out about 250 appetizing pies or about 2500 doughnuts a day. When the first detachment of lassies arrived near the firing lines and began to turn out doughnuts by the thousand, the French soldiers stood about watching in amazement. The dexterity of the cooks they characterized as juggling, and "Le jongleur" was heard on every side. The American soldiers think it is the greatest fun to assist in cooking the doughnuts and they carry wood and water, and help mix the dough—Leelis.
Pershing is fond of telling this story. It happened when the general was on the Mexican border. A regiment was marching by when it met a small, ragged Irish boy holding tight to a donkey, which had become fractious owing to the noise of the regimental band. It was all his small master could do to hold him. As the men swung by somebody in the ranks called out: "Say, kid, what are you holding your little brother so tight for?" "Because" replied this Irish kid: "he sees you
HE WAS IRISH
"Because," replied this Irish kid, "he sees you guys, and I'm afraid he must enlist."
Captain: What became of that pacifist who was kicking around here?
Sergeant (colored) : He wah convicted of high treason and dey put him in de guard house foh two weeks.
WHY THE SERGEANT WAS DEMOTED
Captain: Well, he was lucky. That's mighty small punishment for high treason.
Sergeant: Yaan! He wah luck. After de two weeks was up dey took him out and shot him.
QUICK PROMOTION
The rookie, slightly under the influence, was being taken to the guardhouse.
"Quick promotion," he muttered. "I am already in charge of a squad."
