The Daily Kanan aims to picture the under-
standing of the University, its students,
go further than merely printing the book,
by standing for the ideals the University holds;
ful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to learn more about one of its ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918.
Well, anyway, the Germans don't have to bother any longer with that old problem, "What's whose and why?"
CATHOLIC OR PROTESTANT?
THE narrow sectarianism which is hinder ing the drive for the United War Work fund should be forgotten. Resentment has been expressed by some of the students of the University because the Knights of Columbus are represented in the drive.
Regardless of the signing of the armistice, the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the other organizations must go on now as never before. After the cessation of fighting, the danger and temptations of our boys will be increased tenfold. The work of combating these sinister influence will be done by both the Catholics and Protestants.
QUR HEROES' MEDALS
In order to make their work successful and to protect the men of our army we will have to give without complaint or criticism. Our boys fought to the last minute and will stay on the job until it is finished. Now it's up to us to stand by our guns and keep the coffers of the war funds overflowing until every Yankee boy is back in the United States.
We realize that the world is growing better and better, but wouldn't it be fine if one day in the year were to be set aside on which to return the things you've borrowed from your neighbor?
HE wears a long pin, each section indicating a campaign. Do you know the meaning of the bars? Are you able to tell another person about them? Does this service mean anything to you—to your country? Do you owe it to him to study the medals he wears? Then visit the library and look at the pictures of the different generals and their medals. These pictures are in the big glass case at the right as you enter the library.
You have read with interest of the daring attacks of Marshal Foch, Sir Douglas Haig, and General Mangin. But do you know the medals that indicate these battles?
Do you know that our own General Perishing wears four badges of honor, each of which is a tribute to his valor and courage? The medals are "The Spanish War Medal," "Cuban Occupation," "Philippine Insurrection," and "Special Service Other Than Battle, Spanish War, 1898."
Do you owe it to General Perching to recognize the honors he has won in his campaigns?
AN OPPORTUNITY
ONE hundred and forty unclaimed empty Christmas boxes are waiting at the post office to be filled for the soldiers overseas. This means there are just that many friendless boys in France who have no relatives and will receive no Christmas cheer unless a little time and money are spent by persons interested enough to fill the boxes.
Baldwin and Eudora have taken their share of these homeless boxes; is Lawrence to fall behind?
Now is the time for the K. U, girl to show her partition by calling at the post office for one of the cartons. It will take a little time, a little money, to fill it. Is there anyone who can spare neither time nor money for such a cause?

THE MARINES' HYMN
From the Halls of Montemura,
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
on our island.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We fight to claim the title
Of United States.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun,
We have fought in every eclipse or place
where light is present.
where we could a gun.
In the snow of tar-off Northern lands
Yours, Tubby
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job—
THE UNITED STATES MARINES.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve,
in many a stride we have fought for life
if the Army and the Navy,
ever look on Heaven's seas, be guarded
by THE UNITED STATES MARINES.
Tubby.
In his book, "From Gallipoli to Bagdad," "Padre" William Ewing tells the story of a burly Irishman brought into the field-hospital suffering from many wounds.
"What are you?" asked the doctor.
"Sure, I'm half an Irishman."
"And what's the other half?"
"Holes and bandages."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-
Telegraph.
Tubby's Weekly Letter
Clip This and Send it Along to the Boy Over There
Dear old scout:
The other night when the whistles and bells and guns were screaming the wonderful news I would have given anything on earth to have been with you over there, or at least to have known what you were doing. I'll bet you were yelling loud than you ever did when Kansas made a touchdown in the good old days, because this time it was the kaiser who lost the game and not Missouri or Nebraska.
The old Alma Mater was not lacking in noise and celebration on Monday, November 11, for from four in the morning until late at night there was one big grand "Whizz-Bang" as you say. In the afternoon a Victory meet was held at MeCook Field. Several speeches were made and we all stood up and sang "Over There" and "The Star Spangled Banner" and cheered for an hour or two after the terms of the armistice were read to us. But we were almost sorry it was all over. Too bad you couldn't keep right on Roughing 'em up a bit.
You should hear the S. A. T. C. men sing.
Every week they have a few sing meets and learn all the camp and trench songs. They seem to like the ones which crack down on the non-coms especially well.
Why is a non-com, anyway?
It seems queer to be going to school again, after our four weeks flu vacation, but it feels fine and keeps getting better, for it won't be long before you are all back again. Oh Boy—ain't it the grand and glorious feel' though?
Big things are scheduled ahead. There is to be a Varsity dance, Saturday evening—the first one this year. The picture shows and refreshment stands are open again after the flu ban—and a fellow's got a chance to go to church. You are coming back in a few weeks and—things are sure burning out scrappy after the long dark spell. Everybody at K. U. sends his best. There'll be a big time in the old town when you come home.
This week we are digging 'way down deep in our pocketbooks for the United War Work, Fund. We want to go over the top once more for it may be our last chance, and we like to do it.
Yesterday we had our first Convocation, starting as usual with a big deep "Rock Chalk." That alone was worth going for, but Dr. H. D. Markley a "Y" man who was with you at Chateau Thirerry and at Verdun told us all about it and the wonderful things you did. Tears came to our eyes as he told of the hideousness you went through so bravely and we want you to know that the world will never cease paying tribute to you for the things you have done. I only wish you might have heard the thunderous and unending applause as Dr. Markley spoke of you.
Kansas and Oklahoma played here last Saturday (November 9) and lost. The score? Oh well—some other time. But we'll be glad to tell you the score of the Nebraska game next Saturday at Lincoln.
We have a surprise or two for you when you come. The Administration Building is nearly done, and if you don't say it is about the best locking building in the country, we are going to be disappointed, for we think it is.
