The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of your own university, than more printing, further research or obtaining University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be dignified; to be humorous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand, and to justify the students of the University. THURSDAY,' MAY 11, 1916 THE PLACE OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN Militant feminism, overturning time-honored conventions and trampling the platitudes of the philosophers in the dust, is establishing itself in American universities. Like most revolutionary movements the start has been made in the great middle west, where women already have thrown off many worn-out bonds, and it will surely spread to the schools of the east. The college woman is coming to her own. Witness the condition during the present school year at the University of Kansas. A few weeks ago we elected a woman as College Day speaker from the largest school in the University. Before that a woman had held sway as editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan and women have been on the board every year for the last half decade. The Phi Beta Kappa society elected three times as many women as men this year. A woman is head of the Quill Club, many women are holding class offices, and women are active in the direction of the dramatic organizations. The University of Missouri recently elected a woman to the board which controls the University Daily Missourian and women are active in all activities at the Tiger school. It may seem far-fetched to say that the next decade may see a woman as president of the College, or that we will have a mixed student council with a woman as president, but such a condition is entirely probable. Woman cheer-leaders, women on the athletic board and women in every school activity where they are possibly eligible we'll see them all in the coming years. Encouraged by the advent of the "denutured Dutch lunch," and the "smokeless smoker," some of the milita boys are beginning to hope for a peaceful war. NEW SOURCE OF REVENUE Save your waste paper. With the great advance in price of all print paper there has been a correspondingly higher price paid by paper mills for all scrap paper. The newspapers the world over have felt the effects of the war in more ways than one. Before the year had passed, many newspapers were forced to use news print paper that had not been whitened by chemicals. Lately many papers have found it difficult to be assured of a sufficient supply of print paper at all. One University organization has been accustomed to save all tinfoil to help in the defraying of expenses. With the high prices paid for waste paper this organization and others could no doubt find it profitable to save all of their waste paper. One city corporation which maintains a system of waste cans has arranged with its local paper mill to collect all of the waste paper and pay the city at the rate of twenty-five cents per hundred pounds for the paper collected. Many of the larger Lawrence business firms have maintained paper bailers for a number of years and have saved money selling their waste paper to the Lawrence Paper Mill. With such a source of revenue the students might find it possible to collect money for the dormitory fund. Save your newspapers, magazines, candy boxes. They are worth money. STUDENT SELF-STARTERS There is one class of students in the University who are preparing to be real double-barreled successes. They are the men who work who mow lawns, wash windows, wait tables, drive automobiles—for other people—and spend their spare hours saving father's money instead of spending it. They are the self-starters who do not need advice or sympathy the real believers in preparedness who are making double preparation, the salt of the University who make stumbling blocks for the critics. The mother of a self-starting student doesn't have to wash clothes to keep him in school. She doesn't have to take in roomers and she doesn't have to apologize for her son or daughter. For the self-starting student makes good. He learns business and books at the same time. He learns the value of an hour and the necessity of organization. And K. U, can well use a few more self-starters. WHAT IS A "ROCHE"? At last the secret is out! We have wondered for a long time what the word "Boche" meant, when used by the French in speaking of the German soldiers. We had imagined that it was a scathing term of reproach; some blighted epithet that would go down in the annals of history as a synonym for savage cruelty. Now comes forward the New Yorker Staats Zeitung with the information that the word originally designated a person who had violated an order of the German Penal Code, and that it was used as a form of revilement towards Italians in France, called by the latter, Italobches. As a matter of fact its meaning is the most harmless and might well be said to correspond to our own word—"cabbage-head." If the French content themselves with simply counting heads on the enemy, they will not have transgressed very far. Jayhawk Squawks J. SQUAKS Students are polite from principle, but our observation is that the good-looking girl opens fewer doors. Mexico is positively discourteous at times. the average person would rathen a lambarder him than ignore him completely. Among other liars we would not cheerfully dispense with is the salesman who tells us the size of our hoes. The only way to appreciate good music is to get used to it—er, educated to it, we mean. A friend writes in to ask why the collyume has published no verse lately. We're waiting on our poetlic license. We've been in the country some time, but it hasn't arrived yet. Statistics show that the oculist business has increased this year. Of course, this has no connection with the short skirt styles, but— We maintain that, as a whole women are not accurate; and as a whole they cannot submit their abilities in shooting, throwback or describing a friend's party-dress. Rivaling in antiquity the "bright and smiling faces" phrase is the joke founded on the same. Most of the preachers are now busy explaining how Billy does it To the college woman the following poem, by Simon Barr, of the modern American school, will furnish food for thought. "Presser wanted, must have experience 12. E. 8th," want ad in the St. Mary's school. A man on the ground is worth two writing letters.

CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith and names will not be published without the writer's consent THE GYM AGAIN I wish to call the attention of those in authority to the conditions which now exist in the men's department of the gymnasium. There is, in the first instance, a special supervision, due to too few instructors. At present Mr. H. A. Lorenz is the only regular one. He cannot be down at McCook Field and up at the gym at the same time; the result is not only that I am left to shift for itself. Twice I have gone to the gym on the proper afternoons, hoping to gain admittance to the swimming pool. Not only was the latter place locked, and the pool closed, but the single person was in charge throughout the entire men's side. The women's department has several instructors, even going so far as to appoint one to look out for and prevent accidents in the swimming pool. What prevents the University from allowing the men at least enough supervisors in charge so that the service they have paid for is really given them? Furthermore, when a University Senate going to do about it? state and innocent, ignorant Mary brings criticism on poor, long-suffered men. Cloth help make a man or a woman if they're the right kind of clothes. Many students, who were born on the back prairies of Kansas receive money from Dad to purchase new clothes in Kansas City instead of the machine-made clothes of Mrs. McKean, and that meant they have sent. For now that Mary is at the University she must be properly and stylishly dressed.

But it is not easy to turn a girl loose in Kansas City without the counsel of an older and wiser head, and have her return to school properly, sensibly and modestly dressed. This ignorance of Mary's often causes an unusual and uneasy Georgia Georges on the Hill, for a college man cannot resist laughing derisively at a dress too brief, too loud, and too diaphanous.

St. "From Obscurity to a Place of Prominence" That is what Kansan advertising has done for one Lawrence greenhouse. Two months ago, the Lawrence Floral Co., had a good business, but was not getting its share of the University trade. In fact, most K. U. students didn't know that there was a Lawrence Floral Co. Starting about the first of March, two small ads appeared every week in the Daily Kansan talking about flowers. They were not filled with flowery phrases—although such would have been suitable in an advertisement for a floral company—but just told the students that they would receive the best in flowers, prompt service and courteous treatment if they spent a little of their money at the Lawrence Floral Co. The copy was written by one of the students on the staff of the Daily Kansan and was not meant to drive the man out of business in three or four days for want of flowers to fill the demand. But gradually the trade came. Three or four sororities gave the Lawrence Floral Co. their order for flowers for their parties. And then a few more came and a few more— And today, the bulk of the business of the Lawrence Floral Co. is with students of the University of Kansas. INTELLIGENT ADVERTISING, HIGH QUALITY GOODS, COURTEOUS TREATMENT AND PROMPT SERVICE ALWAYS PAY. And not the least of these is INTELLIGENT Advertising.
