The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UCF go further than merely printing the news on paper and the limited time holds; to play no power to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1918.
The Government has decided to train soldiers at the University this summer. That ought to be sufficient guarantee against a decreased enrollment of women in the Summer Session.
"The Huns struck a stone wall in Amiens attack," says a news story. This is proof either that the American football players have got into action over there or that some of the college sport writers have degenerated into war correspondents.
THE G. A. R. AND THE G. A. W.
Yesterday morning twenty-nine national army men marched to the Union Pacific station to entrain for Funston. They were escorted by the G. A. R. At the head of the column was a grizzled veteran, proudly bearing the flag under which he fought in the war of the sixties. Behind him were two thin lines of gray-haired men. Most of them were bent with age, but with all that, still urged by the spirit of patriotism, they led away the column of younger men, who are going to fight in a later and a bloodier war that in which they fought from '61 to '65.
Those who watched the procession file by observed that, in all Lawrence, only about twenty of the old men are left. A year ago the soldiers marched down this same street, and then, as now, the G. A. R. headed the column. There must have been thirty or thirty-five of them at that time but death since then has thinned their ranks. When the boys who left return few of the old men who led them down the street will remain, for before long the last veteran of the sixties will have passed on.
But in the years to come those boys who marched away, and thousands of others like them, will return to form a larger and greater organization, if greater one can be—the G.A.W.—Grand Army of the World
Think what the British commander who bottled the harbors of Zeeebrugge and Ostend has coming if English women insist on showing their appreciation in the manner made famous by American women when Ensign Hobson bottled Santiago harbor in 1898.
THE LOVE OF LITTER
Again the feverish advertiser as cends Oread with mastate paint, brush, and glowing posters; Sufficient unto the day is the labor of his hands. One cannot walk in peace. One cannot contemplate the sidewalk and solve one's problems there on Its blank surface of granolite or vitrified brick. One must be reminded that someone wants him to do something else.
Then somebody's something else is done and over with. The glaring
captions fade, the paste dries to dusty chips that no longer hold the paper which it for so brief a time held secure to the pavement it carpeted with a mercenary message. Puffs of wind get underneath the paper. John Shea's campus beautiful looks like the state dump on the morning after collection day.
The campus of the University of Kansas belongs to the pride of Kansas and is a part thereof. If somebody's business cannot thrive or survive without flaring in the face of that justifiable pride, then somebody's business is not worth attending. Such advertising of itself in its own very means antagonizes the man it seeks to reach. It is a public nuisance. This campus has got to be kept clean. And it is going to be kept clean by the penalty such advertising brings down on itself.
Consider the dandelions; they toll not, neither do they spin, yet the campus in all its glory is arrayed in such as these.
The latest method of "Kulturization" has been reported from New York. When a doorkeeper in a hotel there objected to a German sympathizer's tirade against the Liberty Loan, the G. s. promptly stabbed him in the face with a table fork.
Why doesn't someone offer a prize for a name that will rescue our old friend, sauer kraut, from the enemy alien class. The war has caused it to drop in price from fifty dollars to fourteen dollars a barrel.
KANSAN PRIZE POEM CONTEST
Every One Deserves Something
WAR'S ALTERATION Hoyt Roush
i stood, when morning's sun was red,
Upon the Green Hall steps of stone.
A graduate's voice beside me said,
"Where have the K. U. men all gone?
I seem to miss them so.
"Observe the bunch climb up the hill
Seek out the boys among the crowd
And count the host of girls.
Or why is it things are so still?
In '16 pep ran high and loud!
To pop pep high and loud
Whence come so many curls?
"O, can it be the classrooms show The same ratio 'tween girls and boys I view from this position!
I view from the position...
How can you bear to see things go
how can you bear to see things go
In such a grind; no peep or noise?
I pity your condition."
"Partner," I said, "things do seem bad
Stuff insa
It play with not do discourage;
We men yet here are mighty
For the privilege we have; if we
true,
We must keep up our courage."
MENTAL LAPSES
The Lad: "Yes, sir. What part of it don't you get?"
Stick: "How did you manage it?"
Slap: "Oh, I drank one and let
them eat me!"
Slap: "Just went into a saloon and ordered two glasses of beer, and it didn't cost me a cent."
"I haven't tasted a drop of liquor for over a year."
Jigs: "I thought that Jones married a blonde."
"How 'n 'ell do you get it down?"
Humor: "Well, I didn't have to pay the doctor."
Sergeant: "Never mind that; we'll drill for it."
Daughter: "Everett kissed me last night."
Private: "I want to go to the hospital. I have water on the knee."
Humor: "He treated me."
Giggs: "He did, but she dyed."
mother (indigently): "That is
outrageous. Did you sit on him for
them?"
The New Colonel: "Stop pestering those soldiers!"
Us:"Why not?"
Daughter: "I did."—?
The New Loot: "Didn't you just tell me to picket them?"
The Philologist
"No," said the Philologist, "I haven't seen any of your articles, but don't be sensitive about that, for 1 seldom read newspapers, even those that they tell me are good ones. Now yours. . .
A Few Words With Him Every Day
"What's that? Yes, I used the word 'family' intentionally in speaking of words. Language is alive; words are born; grow, travel, have families, often large ones, and then perhaps die. An example? Well, it's take the 'cap' family."
"We'll start with the Latin 'caput,' meaning 'head.' The root appears in three main forms: 'cap,' 'chap,' and 'chef.' In addition to its original signification it acquired two other principal meanings: 'end,' coming from the idea 'to bring to a head'; and 'cloak,' which arose from the word 'closure.' The ending would be slipped back and worn over, the shoulders in warm weather.
"With the form 'cap' we have: the expression 'armed cap-apile,' meaning 'from head to foot.' 'cape,' meaning both 'head-land' and 'cloak'; 'cope' which is the same word as 'cape'; 'caparison', 'a cloak for a horse'; 'captain;' and 'capital,' used both for a 'head city' and for 'heading' of a chapter. The French word 'cadeau' is an interesting variant of 'capital'. It indicated originally the ornamental initial letters of the complimentary nouns which change its meaning much as 'bury' did, and was applied to the epistle itself, and finally to the gift. 'Cadeau' now means "present."
"With the form 'chap' we have among others; 'chapeau', the French for 'hat'; 'chapel', which is supposed to have gotten its name from the mantle of a saint kept as a relic, or perhaps, from the hood or mantel over such relics: 'chaplain', the chapel-master; 'chaplet', originally a wreath of flowers for the head; 'chapter', one of the heads of a book.
Yes, and "chaperon" belongs to that branch too. It means a "clok" for one of them.
"With the form 'chef' we.
Here! Where are you going? A fire?
Nonsense! What do we care? Well
Goodbye."
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used unless the author is notified by the editor must know who is writing the comment as evidence of the comment's sincere. Communications are welcome.
A student treats his rends to cigars and ice cream and is called a good scout. Then he goes down and plays singles while those who have later classes stand around for half an hour and wait for an invitation to join in doubles. But the height of selfishness is not reached until the late arrival upon asking permission to play receives the answer, "We just started," or "We are going to quit right away."
The other day two women came down to the courts to play tennis, perhaps for gym credit. There were several courts where men were playing singles. For twenty minutes the women waited for a chance to play, but were forced to leave disappointed. These same men may be ever so prompt to give a woman a seat in a street car or a parlor, but on the tennis courts they can't be bothered with women.
It does seem that when the right of priority is construed as the right of unlimited and unshared possession, it is high time it were abolished, at least on the tennis courts.
There is another question that seems pertinent right here: Why is it that, with the season half over, two courts have not been put into shape for play yet?
Dentist: "Just the natural tendency of the tongue to exaggerate, I suppose."—judge.

Patient: "Doctor, why does a small cavity seem so large to the tongue?"
Sammy: "Yes, he used to work in a livery stale."
Francois: "Your Monsier Sergeant has ze aire of deestinction about heem!"
Father: "I understand you were severely punished by the teacher today?"
Young Son: "Yes, and it was your faulk."
Father: "How's that?"
Son: "Well, yesterday, when I asked you how much a million was you said it was a halvuelo, and that wasn't the answer at all."
