The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students going on to go further than merely printing the textbooks and holding them in University halls; to play no favorites; to be heirs; to be courageous; to leave more active problems to wiser people; to help to ensure of its ability the students of the University.

To change one's habits smacks of death.—Por.
CLEAN ATHLETICS
The Daily Nebraskan in a recent editorial thanks those who were instrumental in bringing to light the facts concerning Guy Chamberlain's ineligibility. The paper is to be congratulated on the stand that it has taken for clean athletics. Winning teams are of course pleasant things to have around at certain times of the year, but if the way that the athletics are run is not above suspicion, the winning team loses a great amount of prestige.
We will miss seeing the Nebraska wonder performing again next year, but we heartily agree with the sentiments of the Nebraskan in insisting for clean athletics.
A PAUSE FOR BREATH
With examinations over and the new term slipping right along we can take time for some reflective thought on the new semester that is stretching before us. The flunks that we have earned have been given us, and the conditions that were dropped from the faculty airship have hit some of us. The ones and the twos that you like to send home have been sent. You can tell by this time whether it is snaps or grinds that you have chosen for the new term's work.
For a lot of us it is the home stretch, and the world is already reaching out its hand to grasp our shoulder and show us that a quiz or two and a hard course are the least of the troubles we are to meet. So, with the world liking its lips and waiting for us, let us make the best of the time left us. Is it not a good time right now to start a little surprise gift for the folks at home of a straight line of ones? Let us start right now making every minute count while we work and while we play, for after all, we can go to college but once.
DON'T SHOOT!
Don't grab for your gun! It isn't a new animal at all; it is just one of the males of the genus homo in his new Futurist costume prescribed by the International Custom Cutters' Association.
It might be a good idea, however, to get out your dark glasses, because if the style gains any great popularity we may all be blinded in a short time. Suppressed desires are going to burst upon us in a great torrent when the small opening is made, and man will blossom forth in the gala array of which he has been deprived for so many years.
As a savage he took the greatest delight in feathers and paint; then, when they were denied him, he added ruffles and powder to his costume. And finally that enjoyment was taken away, and he was reduced to conventional black and white, midnight blue and dusty brown.
The reaction is coming, however; the tailors all say so. Henceforth we may expect that the male of the species will be more brilliant than the female. A cubist painting will look pale compared with the costumes that the Custom Cutters of America are planning.
So if you see something on two legs with a purple coat, yellow trousers and a red sash, a green feather in its powdered hair and ruffles at its sleeves, do not act at all disconcerted or alarmed, it will be only one of the sterner sex in his up-to-date war paint.
ABORTIVE EFFORTS
Particularly at this time of the year are "abortive educational efforts" witnessed, writes the editor of the Dial in a recent issue of that publication.
He calls the efforts of college faculties "abortive" when they fail to direct the entering student towards some goal in the course of his study, and upon this failure he bases his demand for a solution of the problem of thinning the ranks at the end of the semesters. That something in the way of a remedy has been attempted is evidenced by the action of several of the larger institutions.
"Instruction in the meaning and purpose of college study and college life will be given all the members of the entering class at Brown University next year and it may be that an armrest and sympathetic word at the outset will help to kindle the young collegian's zeal and stiffen his backbone so that he will be in less danger if educational shipwreck."
Harvard answers by freshmen dormitories. Princeton attempts to cure the evil by preceptors.
Small numbers in classes, permitting a closer mutual understanding between the instructor and student, and a more personal contact among the faculties and student bodies,' is another recommended remedy.
Whatever is the answer to this need, the Dial is right in pointing out that an answer must be made.

Pabulum for the Highbrow
Why is education, and so if what?, one is almost prompted to ask this extremely sensible question after observing the attitude of some persons toward their examinations. One can infer from it that a fresher after handing in your tablet, sorrowfully telling him how hard the examination was, how miserably you did, and under what trying circumstances you were forced to take its eye trouble, headache, nervous tension, instruction from studying too much, etc.?
WHY AND WHAT
If you have written a poor paper, the professor is usually of sufficient intelligence to discover that fact himself without your kindly advice. No examination is purposefully made difficult; the instructor bases it upon what every one is supposed to know. That is, most instructors do of course offer a few exceptions. In most cases it is merely a confession of lack of preparation to complain about the severity of an examination.
exand. And, then the excuses. It is really a comic situation to hear some of the pathetic tales that are told. Most members of the faculty are human; the penitent usually forgets that small detail.
Is that the real spirit of education, to try to squirm through a back passage instead of manfully walking out the front door? It is a selfish attitude to hunt excuses for failure. Education is meant to train us to see ourselves as well as to observe others.
Yes, one is prompted to ask: "Why is education, and if so, what?—Ohio State Lantern.
Indiana University evidently had the same trouble that the University of Kansas is having in the matter of misclassification. We have in a checking system at their library. The following cleverly written article from the Indiana Student shows in a humorous manner the workings of the new
"SAME HERE"
"Down in the Library cloak-room, where they check your hat, coat and umbrella, so that the thieves won't get them when you leave the trailing final exams, the checks are neat white squares of cardboard, bearing the imprint of the University seal. The important part about them, though, or the important thing is that there is a paper clip dangling at one corner of the check.
The new check system went into effect Saturday afternoon and the usual large Saturday afternoon crowd of readers made the first test of the new warm-up room. The warm-up room was well tagged, for most of the men found it convenient to hang the tags in the region of their upper coat pockets. The scene might have been taken for a Hospital tag day, or an Epworth League convention where they tag who have been to punch wafers.
There were those, too, that put the checks in their pockets and got them all crumpled; but there was one brilliant student who put the tag neither on until he had drawn three books from the counter; then he paper-clipped the check to the front pare of one of them, tucked it neatly inside out of the way, and proceeded to study and look about the books. He took the books on the counter, the check still nearly enfolded in one of them. He thought of it only when he found his way to the cloak-room barred. He rushed back, but the books were ahead. He took the clock-rear of course. He didn't remember the particular one containing the check, so it took three fresh library slips to bring the book back. The check was eagerly clutched by the accountant and noted that the next time he would hang the check on his watch chain."
According to the Pennsylvania, six hundred graduates of the University of Pennsylvania are actively engaged in the European war.
Reviving an old custom, Physical Director Cromie of the University of Pennsylvania has made plans for a University circus.

do you rely on your own judgment, or do you take the dealer's word? To trust entirely to the former is unwise unless you know clothes as an expert. On the other hand, it is very essential that you are sure of the dealer and his standing.
