The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at work, to go further than merely printing the text in paper, and University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be aggressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the students of the University.

Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar
Mark Twain
Training is everything. The poach is nothing but cabbage with a college name.
CONGRATULATIONS, COACH
The basketball season is over. This year we did not have an ever-victorious or a Valley championship team. And we cannot expect a team to "bring home the bacon" every year.
With an entirely new team this year, Coach Hamilton had to face a very hard situation. He had only a team of individuals, out of which to make an easy-running, clock-like, Kansas machine such as he has had every year. With no veteran players back, the coach had no one around whom to build a team.
Nevertheless, Coach Hamilton has worked to such good purpose this year that he has conditioned and trained a large squad of men who will make up the usual strong Kansas machine next year. His far-sightenedness will do much to bring back the Missouri Valley championship to the haunts of the Jayhawk.
We congratulate Coach Hamilton for his good work. He has brought the championship to K. U. for many years. There is no better coach in the west. And now that the basketball season is over, let us watch the track team. Let us root for him and the team—and go out and get Missouri's scap!
Dr. DeVilliss told Kansas City women recently that the "frail clinging type of woman is now 'pasee.'" Naturally so. Is not this leap year?
MAY BE SO!
Student: "Hello Mary, want to go for a little fly?"
Female of the same: "I wouldn't mind Jim, but I've got to study my philosophy lesson."
Student: "Well, I'll drop down in the morning and take you to class. Good bye."
Don't laugh Mr. Underclassman, it is not at all impossible that you may be saying these very words to your best girl long before the Chancellor ever bends to hand you a sheep skin.
Authorities on flying say that the year and a half of war has nearly perfected the aeroplane. They ask what will become of the thousands of machines whose purpose will no longer be to hurl bombs?
Will a hundred factories willingly close their doors and fifty thousand trained aviators be content to go back to the shop or farm? The best sources of information say NO. They tell us that Americans are going to "fall" for flying, quicker and harder than they did for the motor car. They point out the facts that people are getting tired of dusty roads and monotonous drives, that speed limits are becoming unbearable and motoring too common. In a nut shell, Americans are in a receptive mood for flying.
Bird men picture for us a pleasure aeroplane, as a result of the advantages gained from their use in the war, which will be light, beautiful, safe and no more expensive than the average motor car. It will be powerful, yet so silent that the aviator, who may be any one of us, can easily converse with the maid at his side as they fly to some popular Kansas City restaurant for luncheon.
FAIRIES? YES INDEED
"I used to believe that fairies, were
But maybe 'faw was only a fancy that only was born to die.
real in the days gone by,
But marathi was only a feature.
I think I can hear them dancing, and beautiful moonlight nights.
I'd like to find out if they do exist Does anyone really know?"
So sings Chauney Olcott, and Seumas MacManus answers his countryman: fairies do exist. Where? In Ireland, that most beautiful land, they say, heaven only excepted. And when? As the shadows slip across the mountains and the tale teller, the kindly baback, unalsings his pack beside the favored hearth. Then fairies begin to gather.
When the peat fire flickers on the whitewashed walls and smoke-stained rafters of the humble cottage, fairies whisper breathlessly in the darkening corners. As the babab tells his old-new tales of glen and dale to the neighborhood youth sitting at his feet, who could doubt that fairies are "really and truly?"
Do fairies exist? Seumas Mac-Manus says they do. Seumas Mac-Manus knows, for he lives in that 'avowed spot of the fairies.'
Observations Hermeneutical About Things Academical

DRY HUMOR (?)
"Representative Cury wants to move the national capital to Milwaukee. This can hardly be spoken of as dry humor," observes the Daily Texan.
SPECTACLES WON'T HELP, EITHER
SPEACETLES WON'T HELP, EITHER Eye trouble was given as the principal cause for the demise of a large number of Missouri students at the end of last semester, according to the University Mississippi. Too bad; too bad. But watching for the Pilsner wagon is more or less of an optical strain.
DOG JOINS SORORITY
"The Chi Omega sorority announces a new member as a result of Miss Helen Wells's dog swallowing her sorority pin. The treasurer when asked for her views of the incident said that she expected a doggie lot of trouble bounding the new member for its dues," reports the Chronicle (University of Utah.)
Ralph Gesundheit, Leo Loweitz,
Paul Grossman, Reuben Poberhon,
and Johann Handelmann are the candidates competing for places on the freshman debating team at Chicago University. Hooray for the Irish!

In youth the boy finds not enough pockets to hold the odds and ends that he would carry with him, but in college days, though pockets are a plenty, not even the penknife is allowed to bulge the press of the suit.
K. U. women may have little interest in the national preparedness question, but on the question of undesirable "dates" they are always prepared.

ROOF-TOPS
Sad folk, bad folk, and many a glowing friend.
Wise folk, simple people, children of despair—
Roof-tops, roof-tops, hiding pain and pain.
Roof tops, roof tops, well I know you cover
Roof-tops, roof-tops, what do you
Sad, sad, bad folic, and many a glow-
"The naval cadet who fails in re-creation, instead of 'funking', as at Vale, 'busts'; and if the failure is great, namely, a 'dead flunk', the stone is to 'knock a four'; to study hard is to 'bone'; while he who, failing to keep up to the required standard, is dropped from the academic rolls, is to 'bone, bust', 'bite' in the alternative history of many." - Richardson.

The small monuments of former classes are becoming numerous and is it not time that something more pretentious be attempted? By the cooperative effort of the tour, the revenue could be collected to get chimes, build an arch or whatever other suitable memorial might be chosen.
The Jubilee ought also to be useful as a pause. After the pause there is need for a new plunge—fifty years of youth and maturity, but we have scarcely begun to walk. It's true that the chances for a woman to serve her generation are bigger than they used to be. Who's going to receive them? The next decade ahead of us, if we to whom the gift of life has been entrusted do not make it? The Jubilee is the time to make a determined start to begin to "buy up their community." Y.W.C.A.
Many Solomon tragedies, and many
But ali. You hide the good that lives
No doubt it would be considered a surrender of class individuality for the four classes at the University to cooperate in establishing a memorial fund. However it is very evident from the experience of the past that class is often involved in appropriate funds to leave a useful and appropriate memorial.

WHAT IS THE JUBILEE? Editor Daily Kansan;
The jubilee is a time when one stops a little and looks back over the way he has come. But if one is young and strong, with the gift of life still uninvested, it is a time when one book is hard for the sake of looking for ward.
Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful thing it is to be a student of this generation—to be a student in 1916? Do you realize that no students of any age have the opportunities been greater? Why did we live in an era for the next ten, years than any time of which I have ever read or dreamed."
What does it all mean to us? What does it all mean to us as a nation? Where must the world look, on the one hand, on what is necessary and urgent opportunities, which in their very nature cannot be kept waiting; and on the other hand for the ministering to need when its exigencies surpasses anything in history?
Where can the Orient turn for help in molding of its great plastic nations save to the only great Christian nation not involved in this war? Europe, which has been helping, can do very little for years to come. Our own history shows that Europe was since that day a year and a half ago, when war was declared in Europe.
What does it mean to the students of the United States, that the world with opportunities and needs surpassing those of any other age, must look to our nation above all others for the responsibility rests on none of its people more heavily than upon its students. Mr. Mott says, "Any idea or ideal that you wish to have dominate your nation, must first dominate the colleges of your nation." To us, unhuman responsibilities are unusual responsibilities are laid. We who have been trained to teach can not let opportunities to mold the entire educational system for women in a great plastic eastern nation go unmet. We who have been learning to deal with problems, cannot stand idly by, while mighty Oriental nations throw off their old non-Christian social systems and grope blindly to find something to put in their place. Shall not some of us who have the gift for writing use them as tools across the Pacific produce the right kind of literature for their eager ung people to read?
And when the war is over to whom can a crushed, exhausted, heart-broken people, turn for help save to us—the people of a great Christian nation which has not been depleted by war? Already their needs are pressured. And thereby we are trying to help through Relief Funds and RC Cross work.

"The Wiggses lived in the Cabbage Patch. It was not a real cabbage patch, but a queer neighborhood, where ramshackle cottages played hop-scotch over the railroad tracks. There were no streets, so when a new house ran across the street his fancy prompted. Mr. Baggy's grocery, it is true, conformed to convention, and presented a solid front to the railroad track, but Miss Hazy's cottage shied off sidewise into the Wiggsses yard, as if it were afraid of the two sisters. There were so many times a day; and Mrs. Schultz's front room looked directly into the Eichhorn's kitchen. The latter was not a bad arrangement, however, for Mrs. Schultz had been confined to her bed for ten years, and her sole interest in life is friendship, so much in her neighbor's family"—From "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," by Alice Hagan Rice.
