The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in Kansan, to go further than merely printing the book, and to have a University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be serious; to be agressive; to leave, more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to foster a community of quality students of the University.

To do an evil act is base. To do a good one will be good. But it is the part of a good man to do great and noble things, everything in doing them. Pitulart.
THE WORK OF COUNTY CLUBS
THE WORK OF COUNTY CLUBS Each county club has had its first meeting. Officers have been elected and plans made for the entertainment of the high school seniors with a banquet, a party, or a dance during the Christmas vacation. The way is paved for an effective organization in 105 Kansas counties.
Now the counties are organizing into one union for the purpose of helping in a great work for the University. Representatives from each of the county clubs will meet to discuss ways and means of helping the University in other ways than the ones already planned. One of these is the Permanent Maintenance Bill.
Through the organization and activity of the county clubs every student is working on a democratic basis for the good of K. U.
DEMAND MORE SANITATION
"Only one girl plans on matrimony," reads an article in the Kansan. Only one—which one? We just naturally believe that reporter is Argus-eyed.
It is disgraceful that in a college town there must be a typhoid epidemic each year. One fatality has resulted from the disease already this year and a number of students, who are now sick will probably lose so much time that they can not make up the work they have missed.
There is just one cause of typhoid,
and that is fifth. Moreover, there is
just one way that the disease can be
contracted, and that is in food or
drink. That means unclean food or
impure water, or both, are responsible
for the annual outbreak in Lawrence.
Complaints are common, but action is needed. Conditions will never improve until the students demand something better and enforce their demands. A boycott on all boarding clubs and restaurants that do not use tested water, and whose methods of preparing food are open to question would go far toward awakening certain persons who are "in the business for the money there is in it" to the fact that students are not doormats, the University will discuss, The Di
MORE KANSAS SPIRIT
The readiness of K. U. students to respond to a call for financial assistance for worthy causes has been demonstrated by the success achieved by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. in their campaigns to raise funds to carry on their work this year.
Students donated money cheerfully and in an altruistic manner that was gratifying and inspiring to those who were instrumental in conducting the campaigns. The promoters feel that the men and the women of the University are endorsing their work.
More pleased with the outcome of
the Y. W. and Y. M. campaigns, than the promoters themselves, are the students. Some of them gave freely of money which would have gone in the pursuit of pleasure while others sacrificed money that was needed to keep them at the University. In either case it was a sacrifice worth while and the students are happy because they are members of a body which is ever ready to lend its aistance, to a cause meriting their aid
K. U. has an inestimable reputation of standing behind all that is to the interest of the University and the cause of humanity and it must ever be thus.
"You can't have your cake and eat it, too." This applies only to mother's cooking. Boarding-house cake is sufficient for all needs.
THE GIDDY, VAIN THINGS
Now it is the corset coat, the pinch back overcoat, the semi-military hat, and tortoise shell-rimmed spectacles. A few years ago pop tops and forty-inch coats were the trademarks of the gentleman.
Three or four decades farther back into the past "Dad," thought it necessary to press the creases OUT of his trousers before setting out to persuade a pretty, rosy checkeled lassie to make his life worth living. And she, your mother, can tell you of "grand-dad" with his greased boots, his four-inch collar, and knee length coat. And perhaps she can show you a picture of great "grand-dad" in knee trousers, buckled pumps, and powdered hair.
Glancing still farther into history, we see the Roman senators in their togas, embroidered and embossed. What is the answer? The same as that given by the savage who paints his fave and shaves his chanium, that is, to make himself more attractive to the female of the species.
With what result? Your son will tell you when he looks at some of your college photos twenty or thirty years hence.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
"There is so much bad in the best of us.
And so much good in the worst of us That it hardly behoves any of us, To talk about the rest of us."
Did you ever happen to stop and think about this? Perhaps if you had, you wouldn't have remarked, "How hateful," "How despicable," and various remarks criticize certain individuals. Everyone has faults, we ourselves have. So is it right that we should so severely criticize others?
Surely since we are not perfect, we should not expect others to be. We might learn and profit by the faults of others. Let us not look for the faults, but for the virtues. We seem to forget that there is a positive, as well as a negative side to criticism.
COLLEGE RIFF RAFF
A keen analytical spirit has caused a Purdue student to compute that he has danced 1,893 miles in the course of three years' social activities.
King Henry VIII still holds the hint that the divorce contest. The secreta to date.
"Criminals in the making" is what the McGill Daily calls the "abnormal specimens of man" who habitually clip articles from papers and magazines placed in the library for the use of the students.
Shall we wear fresh caps on Sunday? That question has almost divided the entire freshman class into hostile camps.

The library clock at Indiana is evidently a good running mate for our physics clock. The Student resource center uses such use as the Polity Club in Germany.

Et Tu. Illinois!
The women have an even start with the men at the University of Washington. At a recent class dinner the students sang songs they bought they could get there alone.
Indiana students begin to grow confident. One professor, an habitual overtimer, dismissed the class on time. He probably was sick.
The men at the University of Illinois have endorsed the wrist watch is being the most practical kind to arry.
In the business world, punctuality is a primary requisite for success. Firms would as willingly lack capital in their business as they lacked cash in building up the substram upon which all the railroads of the country are built; without it newspapers go to the wall in a few months; in military affairs its abject responsibility is a very serious system, and lack of it in a student begets carelessness.
PUNCTUALITY
Youth is the time to form punctuality. Don't wait until maturity to attempt to come out of the rut; it will then be too late, your habits will have been formed, and try as you can you will not be able to correct them.
Given a professor who does not call the roll at the commencement of a lecture, a cold morning with the water in which you are to wash having a tendency to freeze, blankets that for warmth you will swear were never made by water, which might have caused even St. Anthony to fall. It isn't a cheerful prospect to crawl out of bed on such a morning, but if you stay for those inevitable "few" minutes, the chances are you will be a few minutes late when they are handling out the detention room. The man for the big position is chosen, a few minutes late when Gabriel blows his horn, and a few minutes late when St. Peter padlocks the golden gates for the last time—McGill Daily.
CAMPUS OPINION
PROTESTS AGAINST STUDENTS ACTIONS
Communication must be signed as evidence of good faith but may not be published in the writer's correspondence.
To the Kansan:
Nothing ever occurred at the University of Kansas, which was more disgracedure than the rudeness shown during a recent lecture in the chapel.
Even if students aren't interested, surely they can learn something from the speaker, although they are a graduate of their "home town" high school. The least a student can do is to act as a well bred person does and not disturb the rest of the audience by leaving in the midst of the lecture.
A WOMEN'S RALLY
Miss Indignant.
To the Kansan:
It's time for a women's rally—a real, live, spiey meeting like the one two years ago, when every one yelled and sang and listened to the student speakers and then ended the whole affair with a glorious bon-rain for both men and women. But really we want, not the proper, singing-school affair of last year.
And why wait for the last game to stir up enthusiasm? It would go nicely now. At every game there are hundreds of women who do nothing more than stand up when the Cripps and the sandwich, they ought to sing with all their power and make the women's section brilliant with K. U. colors.
A Woman Enthusiast.
WANTS DRILL AT GAME
To the Kansan:
Why not give the members of Companies M and H passes to the Kansas-Dakota game. Saturday and have them play against Uche Guarded the territory of Uncle Sam along the Rio Grande. In the ten or fifteen minutes just before the game he could go through some mighty fights, using a manual of arms and other formations.
Now that the soldier boys have come back, we are going to have convoction for them Friday morning. It is fine to see their faces again and to hear the stories of their experiencetoave all this we want to see them drill.
After these months of good experience the boys are well drilled. Are we going to give them an opportunity to show us what they can do?

Men who faced the murderous blast Bodies torn asunder
Wrecks, wrecks of manhood's strength
Hellless, cramped things;

This we saw, not in a dream—
This we saw as in a dream-
Maimed thrul life, they bear the scar of World's relentless sting
Soldiers from the border;
This we saw as in a dream Soldiers from the border;
Killed to settle a dispute,
Shame to such a blunder.

Men of brawn and ruddy health, Guardies for our protection.

Perry is reported to be convaleasing slowly.
We see how specious are the arguments which have led us to tolerate the college idler so long. Clinging to the remote hope of his regeneration, the student nurse nabs hundreds with the virus of listlessness. The time for tolerance is past. War measures are now necessary. The first and crying need of the American college today is the ejection, the ruthless ejection, of the student nurse. The leaper of college society—Harold C. Goddard, in the Century Magazine.
THE COLLEGE IDLER
Have you lost faith in those you trusted most.
BELIEF IN SELF
Well, don't be downcast; don't give up: don't lose faith.
After all, there is but one question
you should ask: do you
believe in yourself?
If you have this belief, strong and steady, it will urge you to your goal just as surely as the magnetic force draws the steel to the magnet.
What if you are in hard luck? Many a great achievement has been left undone because a man was too rich to keep to be really is.
Great ideas and great achievements,
lives in the dark room to develop.
Every step upward in the splendid march to success is based on the hope of winning.
Don't begrudge your years of poverty and struggle; they are the richest of your life. They are the years you have spent, but you're thought to making a show; and in which the best there is in you is growing stronger than the obstacles in your path, stronger than the limitations in your shut you in...Danville (II): Press.
INDIVIDUALISM
The tendency of the present age is to subvert individualism. Modern standards of efficiency gauge the individual only with respect to his capacity for work. The potentiality of the worker—the faculty of giving expression to his own individuality is for the most part unexplained. In the context of business, then are considered as little better than so many machines.
The same criticism can be applied to an Arts course. The average student enters a university about the time of life when he is just beginning to think for himself. His convictions and experiences immate, are at least expressive of his personality. Sooner or later, however, he is forced to realize that his academic standing is based primarily on his ability to pass examinations. All originality of thought is tested in these examinations. He becomes a mere automation for the accumulation of knowledge — The Varsity.
Following are two poems turned in by students contesting for the Poet Laureate(s) of the University. You can take your choice.
In Joplin just across the line,
The mayor gave the order
No more of this unearthly din.
It sounds just like the border
Nine little sausages
Sizzling on a plate
In came the boarders
And then they were ate.
K. U. might follow California's lead and change the name of the shirt-tail parade to the more dignified title "Pajamarino."
