The Daily Kansan aims to plea for the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the book, and to pursue University values; to play no favorites; to be clea; to be cheerful; to be aggressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to educate students; to satisfy the students of the University.

REAL WORK AHEAD
A commendable move has been made by the County Club Union in taking steps toward the organization of county clubs to work for the establishment of the mill tax for the University. While other work can be undertaken by these county organizations the biggest service that can be done for K. U. at this time is to present the mill tax proposition squarely before the legislators of each county before the legislature convenes.
Every student who has the best interest of his University at heart should get into the work in his county club. A great amount of influence can be exerted by the students on the politicians "back home." Campaign material is already commencing to arrive in the students' mail, asking their support for some legislator. If the county clubs are properly organized the members can not only cast their votes unanimously for the men who pledge themselves to work for the tax, but can exert a big influence with many voters in their county home.
The mill tax and the need of the University is misunderstood by a great many Kansans; and the county clubs, by holding meetings at home during holidays, can do much toward explaining the working of the mill tax, and create a more sympathetic feeling for K. U.
BOOST THE TEAM
Why not turn out to football practice? Some afternoon that you are idle, go down and cheer the boys on a little. Show them that you are for them first, last, and forever. They will appreciate it.
If they make a good play cheer them and root and root, and then root some more. By so doing you will so instil the fighting spirit into them that they will make it hot for the other M. V. Conference teams this season.
Try it once.
CONCENTRATION
Don't be a grind. Learn to concentrate. When Henry Ward Beecher was asked how he could accomplish so much more than any other man, he replied: "I don't do more, but less than other people. They do all their work three times over; once in anticipation, once in actuality, once in remination. I do mine in actually doing it once instead of three times."
He was able to do this by will power; by concentrating his mind upon what he was doing at a given moment, then turning to something else.
The mental reservoir of most college students is like a leaky dam, where the greater part of the water flows out without going over the wheel and doing the work of the mill. The habit of mind-wandering, which so many of us have, of worrying over our studies, crowding our thoughts with trivial anxieties, is a little leak in our mental reservoir
which is constantly sapping our reserve power and lessening our chances of success.
The great thing to learn in college is the secret of running all the water over the wheel and not allowing any of it to go through the holes in the dam. Concentration counts; Erie between narrow banks becomes Niagara.
"PEP" FOR WOMEN
The Kansas co-ed who thinks that she is making a great sacrifice to support college spirit and athletics in the University should take a few lessons from her southern sister.
At Howard University, Birmingham, Ala., the co-eds are to give a minstrel show, the proceeds of which will go to the support of a training table for the football team. The freshmen girls also, wear distinctive freshman caps and are very enthusiastic about them.
How's that for college spirit?
NEEDED—AN INCENTIVE
It is a common belief that universities do not pick out and give enough credit to their honor students. It should be that whoever is classed as one be given some special notice.
At the University of California the honor students are given special library and laboratory privileges. The honor list is published in the 'e' paper.
There is not enough incentive here in the University of Kansas to make a man try for scholastic honors. There is no way of telling who they are. If there was some society made up of the honor students of each class to be elected each year and some publicity attached it would be more of an incentive to work for scholarship honors.
The allies would give the Sick Man of Europe a dose of Greece.
IMPROVING THE MIND
No infallible method of improving the mind has yet been discovered. That is because we cannot agree on what constitutes an improvement in this intangible department of our human assets. We can do lots of things to the mind, and we can see it undergo changes, but we can never be sure that those changes make the mind better or worse. No so with the body. If we take a worn-out consumptive and, by a diligent course of physical culture, build him up so that he can perform well, floor we can be absolutely certain that his body has been improved. But who has not seen many a mind, fitted with all the modern improvements, which by foolish caprices still continues to lead its possessor into difficulties and embarrassments?—
TWICE TOLD—BUT WORTH IT
“I's a long corridor that has no ultimate termination,” remarked the absent-minded professor, as he padmed around in a revolving door. “Minnehaha.”
"S'hay, m'mren, I have been arguing on a question which we want you to d'eide for us. Is that planet up there the sun or the moon?"
"M'fren, I can't shay. I'm a stranger in town." - Sphinx.
"If you'd smoke a pack of cigarettes a day for 90 years you'd have enough coupons to buy an automatic piano."
"Tomorrow, gentlemen," said the professor in a lecture on taking notes, "I will bring in my cards and show you my card system."
"What is home without a mother?"
"An incubator, I guess." - Pelican.
"You'd be too weak to play another."—The Widow.
"Why automatic?"
The young man had just been turned down by his lady and the next morning went to the butcher shop. This occurred:
Voice—O. K. Doc. Fetch some
voice. You have a regular party.
Punch Bowl
Y. M.-Have you any nice beef
steak this morning?
Y. M., Give me a pound of sau-
sure!- Widow.
Butcher—Sure, here's some as tender as a woman's heart.

More startling, rude, abrupt and

Fate

great,
And makes em—presto! while you

Mere college freshmen!

Force the Second. What in it?
(on you learn next Sunday evening
if you know the answer)
If you don't want your husband to leave you when you are old and gray, wear low heels on your shoes. If you wear high heels now your feet probably will be deformed a few years hence. And hubby might have to wheel you around in a little buggy. And hubby might object.
HIGH HEELS VS. HUSBANDS
Listen, girlle
Is it just awful, girls? High heels are harmful. They are bad for the skin and all other occasions the low-heedled walking shoe should be worn—Minnesota Daily.
Intelligence, Knowledge and Judgment were strolling along one day when they came to a young baby sleeping by the roadside.
LACKING ONE
“Here’s a chance to do some good,” said Intelligence. “That youngster appears to be a spindled specimen of a bird whose presence we serve him during his lifetime.”
Isn't it just awful, girls?
"All of us?" asked Judgment. "Why not?" said Knowledge. "By combining we shall be able to produce a very superior person." I second the motion.
"All of us?" asked Judgment.
Some moments later, when the baby rubbed his eyes upon a new world, he found himself equipped with intelligence, Knowledge and Judgment.
Many years later the three were again out for a stroll.
"By the way," said Knowledge, as they came to a spot at the roadside, "do you remember that long ago we needed to serve a certain voyeur?"
"Perfectly," said Intelligence. "The curious thing about it all is that, although he is a perfectly good human being and respected by all, he has never amounted to much—has never acquired that supreme distinction which he should have received with us three backing him up."
"How do you account for it?" they asked.
Judgment was silent. They both turned to him.
"I account for it quite simply," said Judgment. "I agreed temporarily to go in with you and serve him because there was a major opposition against me. But it didn't seem to me fair that he should have so much, so I, after a little, quietly withdraw and left him to be served by only you two."—Life.
AS YE SOW. ETC.
A social gallant belonging to one of the many fraternities collected around this temple of erudition was bent on making an engagement for that night—his first in town. He was the only one in the house, and there were still three days until registration started. But she was in town.
So he took the phone from the stana in the hall and rang her number. No answer. He was sure someone would call him, or her sister—but still no reply.
About 15 minutes later he threw the phone down in disgust. Two green ends dangled along the side of the table, where lay a blue envelope and two boxes of cigarettes. The drug-store phone was busy a few minutes later—Ohio State Lantern.
TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS
The instructor who misspell the words he writes on the blackboard, he writes on the whiteboard, disregards all grammatical rules, who grins when he comes to a French or German word and stumbles through the pronunciation of it—you know
Why is he tolerated, with all his crudities, on the instructional force of an institution which is supposed to be tolerant, at least a certain degree of culture?
Well-trained as such men may be, from a technical standpoint, in their ability to make things made up of them could not truly educate its students. The intangible thing that makes some professors stand out in prominence would be to make sure they were well-trained.
How much greater any university would be if all instructors attained the plane now reached by only a part! - Ohio State Lantern.
The student recognizes this finish and polish in certain men, and those men are the ones for whom he has the highest respect and whose classes he likes. Attention. The one who wields the knife is not the man that are to be found among this number.
But others...just teach. The student looks upon them as teachers, and forgets about them when he steps out of the classroom.
One never can tell the sociological possibility of some little thing that seems hardly worth the saying. Thus if you say, He swears like a pirate, he swears like a pirate, he swears like a pirate; you pose you pull yourself together and say: "Profanity in that it relaxes the inner tension by a sudden nervous discharge and offers a mean of escape from social inhibitions, is when phylogenically considered, nature's own civilization, is an civilized life of providing an outlet for primitive emotions which in an earlier period were apt to take more socially injurious forms, such as piracy." You will then be taken for sociologist. I do not say you will take sociologist. I will look like one, especially if you add a bibliography—New Republic.
