The Dafy Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate inasmuch as to further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the teacher prefers to be clear; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be positive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university the students of the University.

The war; nothing else matters.
THEY'RE COMING THROUGH
K. U. men at the front are going to know that the University is behind them. There's no question about it since the Red Cross pledges are being collected.
The students aren't paying very much attention to that limit of one tenth of one per cent of their allowance. They're giving a lot more.
And they are paying their pledges at once. The University Committee isn't going to have to go out into the by-way to get the money. The end of Red Cross week will see the full quota and the surplus paid in and ready to do its work.
Come on in fellows, the incinerator's fine today!
THE JAYHAWKER Here's to the Jayhawker!
So here's to the Jayhawker!
It's a great book. The funny stuff is funny and the snap shots are snappy. And, serious and frivolous, it's worth while.
It's a great book. It does what it was supposed to do. The story of K. U. during the first year of the war is told in prose and pictures and poetry. It is current history for the University and deserves careful reading and preservation.
In Germany it is Hoch der Kaiser; the rest of the world says CHOKE der Kaiser.
CHILDISH THINGS
College people, like most of the rest of America were like the Apostle Paul during the first years of the war. They persistently saw through a glass darkly. And even when the United States entered the struggle they refused to clear up the crystal for their vision.
Their food and their clothes and their amusements still concerned them as much as the greater things of the war. And they made little effort to save their time or their energy or their money for better things.
The University of Kansas is beginning to wake up. The Men's Student Council and the Woman's Student Government Association are making that the senate limit the price of dances to $1.50 next year, that no food be served at parties, that no money be spent for evening clothes, that the number of downtown parties be limited to one a semester, and that students generally spend their money and their energy for worthier things.
It remains to be seen whether the student body will back up their program. It remains to be seen whether men and women at the University of
Kansas will realize that the war is the only thing that matters. Whether they will realize that their clothes and their dances and their food and their theater tickets really don't matter in the least but that the food and the clothing for starving France and
num and Italy and England mean the winning of the war. It remains so be seen whether they will realize that their little affairs are of no importance whatsoever unless they help make them more efficient to aid in winning the war.
And so much depends upon the result of the decision.
There are substitutes for $250 wheat; blessed will be the man who finds the substitute for dollar gas.
THE JUNIOR; A FABLE
There was once a University which decided that no senior need take a final examination if he had been diligent and faithful throughout the years of his college course. And there was much joy in the seniors hearts. But there were in the University certain professors who could not get away from the old order of things. And because the seniors were to escape the ordeal of the exams the professors decided that to pay for that relief they must do what is known as extra work. And extra work consists of special reports, and notebooks and quizzes in the last week of the semester.
Now there were in the same classes juniors who had no relief from the final exams. Neither did they have any relief from the extra work. And so they were forced to burn the midnight electric light the last weeks of the semester and become haggard and nerve-racked thereby. And for their extra work no credit was given, neither was there any lightening of the exam.
Moral: When in doubt, don't think of the under-dog.
When you and I join us and we the war will be won.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Seven students of Ohio State University have been killed in war, since last spring.
Gypy Smith, the famous evangelist, recently gave a war address to the students of Northwestern University.
Six women of the University of Texas have been accepted for the Vassar Training Camp for Red Cross nurses.
Prof. E. C. Goddard of the University of Michigan law school says that there is a growing need for women as lawyers.
Weird Cries Rend Air —Lost Annual Receipt
It was a weird, calamitous cry that rent the peaceful air on the evening of May 21, 1918. But it was not the voice of some tranomtane, the pleading tones of a disheartened mendicant, or the echo of a doctrinaire's opinion. No, it was none of these. It was only the mournful wall of a few students who had lost their Jayhawk receivers.
In the excitement, contention and mad whirl of the beauty contest, the little slips had been thrust hurriedly into books. Perhaps some of those books belonged to Spooner Library. The result was that the bustiness manager almost lost his sense of humor when he was forced to search old files for the duplicates of those receipts.
According to publishers auxiliaries, the growing mortality among German newspapers in the United States is proving that Germans who run papers here are aligning themselves in still greater numbers with the ideals and purposes of the United States.
In Vienna a quarter of the population are living on the rations of the public kitchens, and the city deficit for the year was $7,500,000.
The British Government will pay the same price for horses and mules for army service that it paid last year at this time. The order to resume buying is to take effect May 27.
(Gounous Stoloff was for a brief time in the University of Kansas, though not widely known while here. In fact, he was so obscure a reclusue that some say his short stay here was in the late Eighties and others that it was in the early Nineties. The manuscript of his few poems has survived with numerous circumstances that for a time cannot be revealed. The verse is so good that editors of the Kansan feel it worth publication.)
POET'S CORNER
DREAM SHIP
Where wraiths of moonbeams weirdly shoot
A wan light, pale as shadow's shade,
The Seen of Sleep its silver spreads
Like starlight through a flimy wee.
And o'er its mist-wrapped waters filts
A mystic bark—of fancy wrought—
The phantom memory of Memory.
The fading likeness of the Past
Its tears, its hopes, and fleeting joys
In paling hues like sunset's tints;
Thou brings these, O Ship of
Dreams.
Will o' the Wisp of the Slumber Sea.
—Gonnam, Sloeho.
As hour by hour I see the time pass by
LIFE
And life glides on in this old world, its stage;
As oceans old in calms and stormy rage,
And yet they go, I know not, where or why
Like swallows, flitting through the
southern sky
Tis net for us, old Father Time to gauge.
For he's eternal and a wise old sage
And listens not to all our plaintive
For he's eternal and a wise old sage
And all the animals and shrubs and trees
But yet do not the flowers, the birds,
the bees.
Rejoice through life, then sink beneath the sod.
To join again in faith and love with God?
For life is but a beautiful spring day.
We live f'om dawn 'til night, hen
nose assay
-Gounoud Stoloff.
MENTAL LAPSES
Passing a hand over his forehead,
the worried drill-sergeant paused for breath as he surveyed the knook-
le. Then he pointed a scorched finger.
"No," he declared, "you're hopeless. You'll never make a soldier. Look at you now. The top 'alf of your legs is standing to attention, an' the bottom 'alf is standing' at ease!"—Tit-Bits.
Elderly Boarder (who does himself well) : “Dear me! I've lost two buttons off my waistcoat.”
"Are you doing any patriotic work?" "I should say I am. My wife and my five daughters all use me to wind wool on!"—London Opinion.
Landlady: "I expect you'll find them in the dining-room."—Passing Show (London.)
FORCE OF HABIT
"The stage drivers in Yellowstone Park," says a Denver man, "are bothered by many foolish questions from their passengers, and often resort to satire to convince us that a lady in the hot springs incurred deeply interested in the hot springs inguired:
Charles Lamb was once asked to say graze at a dinner. He was surprised, and asked: "Is there no minister present?" He was told there was not. "Then," he continued, "let us thank God."—Current Opinion.
"Driver, do these springs freeze over in winter?"
“Yes, ma'ma’,” was the response. ‘A lady was skating here last winter and broke through and got her foot scalded’.”—Harrer's.
The Red Cross means Morale.
HOW IT HAPPENED
A stingy old lady presented the cabman with his exact legal fare and a stale bank, remarking that the latter was for himself, "Oh, thank ye, mum," said the cabby, sarcasticly "for the poor old 'os'?"—Current Opinion.
THAND GOD!
IRONY
One hears a great deal about the absent-minded professor, but it would be hard to find one more absent-minded than the dentist who said soothingly, as he applied a tool to his automobile, under which he lay, "Now this is going to hurt just a little."—Current Opinion.
THE models we are exhibiting meet the highest standards of quality, and toe up to the season's style requirements, which bright men like to term as一life, action and aggressiveness.

And Still They Come
Students are realizing more and more that they can live better and cheaper at the Oread Cafe. This week a large number of students bought coupon books and started taking all of their meals. You can cut down your board bill too, if you take advantage of the opportunity.
We still need several students to help us next week and during Summer School. A good way to pay the biggest item of your expenses.
