WHY THE DOUGHBOY?
SOMEBODY rises to inquire just why a doughboy is called a doughboy?
That's easy. He is called a doughboy because the sailors in the English navy used to eat—and perhaps do yet—dumplings that were called doughboys and which naturally and generously contributed their name to the ultimate consumer.
The learned books of reference leave the reader to his own devices in finding a plausible reason why the marines passed their own exclusive name to the men of the infantry line. Whether the dumplings followed the name or the name followed the dumplings is not disclosed.
But, hold, exclaims a veteran of the Civil War. That wasn't the way of it at all. This was the way of it: the army cooks were always so bespangled with dough that they received the name of doughboys. Then the fellows who ate their cooking got the name. That's all there is to it.
Take your choice, or invent one of your own.
Any way you explain it, the fact remains that the doughboy has plastered glory all over his inglorious nickname. By no other name could he be a greater hero.
“VOTERS OF KANSAS”
WHAT?
Such is the title of a folder issued by the State Council of Defense appealing for a favorable vote on the Permanent Income Amendment. The discussion is divided into sections on the "What," "Who," "Why," and "When" of the matter. The first section follows and the others will be printed in succeeding issues of the Daily Kansan:
An Amendment to the Constitution called the Permanent Income Amendment which will secure the same war efficiency in education as in other lines.
This Amendment provides for a definite income for the upkeep of the State Schools.
The State Board of Administration, of which the Governor is chairman and for which the Business Manager is the executive, will, under the permanent income plan, direct the expenditures of all school funds, as heretofore.
The difference between the old method and the new is that instead of having to appropriate funds for State Educational Institutions at each session, the Legislature will determine their fixed and regular needs and establish a levy sufficient for those needs and that levy will continue until the need changes. This fund can only be used for the Schools and is not available for other state expenses.
The Legislature can change the levy at any time.
The war has placed a new burden on our State Schools. They are training specialists for this highly technical war. Their shops, laboratories and classrooms have hundreds of men wearing the khaki under detail from Uncle Sam and helping to make the world safe for you.
These institutions must be made permanent and to be permanent they must have a permanent income.
"HELLO" AND A SMILE
Did you ever have the whole day spied for you by running on to one of these habitual gloom merchants the first thing in the morning? One of that cheerful sort of people who always look as though they had just left a meeting of the Mutual Despair and Hope-All-Gone-Society. Sends a chill shooting up your spine and displeases blackness all through the atmosphere in big chunks. Makes no difference how cheerful you were before you feel as though something must surely go wrong before the day is over—flunk a quiz, break a leg or be asked to denote. Brrrr. Pass the iceberger.
On the other hand don't you like to meet up with a person the minute you hit the campus who shouts out a cherry "Hello" and then follows it up with one of those smiles that makes everything look brighter and makes you feel better—takes the orneryness out of your disposition and forces you to smile back when you think you want to or not? Changes the whole day for you, doesn't it?
"What's the use of being a clam anyway? Why not jolly up and be a little sunshine distributor yourself?" Speak to everybody. Make them think that you are interested in them to the extent of at least recognizing that they are alive. When you pass persons regularly every day begin speaking to them whether you have ever met them or not. And when you run across these chronic "cold propositions" give them the kind of salutation that will make them think that life is not such a frigid deal after all. Begin the day by giving every one "Hello" and a smile. It will improve your digestion and your good looks. That's a truism—Minnesota Daily.
In our ignorance we have thought that nothing in the life of a university could exceed in significance, in emotional tenseness, the ceremony of graduation for a great class of young people taking their farewell of academic halls. How pale and commonplace that event appears when compared with the ceremony that will take place on McCook field tomorrow! All life is doubtless a great adventure; but tomorrow we shall see the youth of a state pledging devotion to a cause in which are involved not alone issues of individual lives but of the world. An hour more serious, a scene more moving, has not come to this institution and may not come again.
News of the Red Cross The Army Behind the Army in Which Every Patriotic Citizen is Enlisted
Notes to the Belgians must not be placed in the clothing being gathered now by the Red Cross in response to the call from the Relief Commission. In the past few days more than a ton of clothing and shoes has been collected in Lawrence. Men of the Student Army Training Corps are urged to give their cast-off clothes to the Red Cross store. The best of it will be sent to the suffering peoples behind the German lines.
To Great Britain the Red Cross sent in a week's time one hundred thousand corncob pipes; 100 tons of chocolate for canteen work; 200 cases of California oranges.
The Red Cross shipped to Italy in a single week seventy-nine tons of foodstuffs for use in hospitals for American forces in Genoa, Florence and Rome; 50,000 gallons gasoline; 1,000 barrels of meat mack; 1,000 barrels of meat beef.
Bits of Readable Verse
Discovered and Handed in by Readers of the University Daily Kansan
To each man is given a day and his work for the day;
And once, and no more, he is given to travel his way.
THE DAY AND THE WORK
For the task is appointed to him on the scroll of the gods.
1
And woe if he dies from the task, whatever the odds;
ordees, or the result is on the earl of all.
There is waiting a work where only his hands can
And so, if he fails, a chore in the music will fail.
He may jump to the sky, he may lie for an hour
and then walk.
He did not go hence till the labor appointed
for him.
To each man is given a marble to carve for the wall;
bathroom or bedroom.
A stone that is needed to heighten the beauty of all;
the tools to make it a grand
And only his soul has the magic to give it a grace;
And only his hands have the cunning to put it in
him.
Yes, the task that is given to each man, no other can do.
So the errand is waiting, it has waited through ages for you. And then it arrives; and the hushed ones are
And now you appear, and the hushed ones are
to see what you do with your chance in the
game.
To see what you do with your chance in the chamber of days.
