The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life and helps you no further than merely printing the names of students. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heals in all, to help students to identify the students of the University.
WANTED—AN IMAGINATION
TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1916
Men are very odd creatures; one half censure what they practice, the other half practice; they both censure what they practice — Poor Richard's Almanche.
If on your way home tonight you learned that in the house you were passing a little child was starving to death and a woman had neither shoes nor sockskings to protect her from the cold, you would not continue on your way until you had made sure that help would be there immediately. Or even if you knew that in Jefferson county a family of fatherless children were destitute and naked you would place no limit upon your charity. But because that case is transferred to Europe you ignore it, even though it is multiplied by hundreds of thousands.
There, where all the men have gone forth to slay, and women and children are left defenseless beside cold hearths, each day sees scenes enacted more heart rending than we can comprehend. In Poland thousands of women, half clad, are trying to sustain life by tiny fires build in the snow, over which they cook a few potatoes. Over 200,000 Polish children, forever nameless, are without homes, dependent upon charity. And in the Russian Caucasus a quarter of a million people are praying that death will come quickly for they are without food or shelter. The innocent are paying the heaviest toll to the War-God.
Here, in peace and plenty, we are indifferent, careless or unconscious to the cries for help. We waste over and over again the price of a life. What we spend for an hour's pleasure would buy food enough to last for days for a starving woman or little child.
The University of Kansas is trying to collect its mite. A carload of warm clothes will go out from Lawrence this week, and every student is asked to give his share—a little bit to each of us, perhaps a life to someone over there. Later, when the finals are past, an entertainment will be given in the gymnasium, the funds of which will go to help purchase life for a nation which stands on the brink of the Valley of Death.
Can't we appreciate the famine, the misery and suffering enough to back the attempt of the University to do its share toward making things a little better? Haven't we enough imagination to picture the conditions, to realize the imperative demand for help from this, the most able nation to help?
THEY SAY ITS COMING
At last there seems a possibility that we shall have a book exchange next semester. The Student Council committee has promised that it will be in working order when the semester begins, so that is some encouragement to many who thought that a book exchange would never really materialize.
However small the beginning has to be, it is a splendid thing, for it will be a foundation upon which to work in the future. There is absolutely no reason why Kansas should not have a book exchange. It has been proved successful for years in Harvard and the University of California and many other large colleges and universities.
Who knows, perhaps from the small beginning of a book exchange we may yet develop a cooperative store at the University of Kansas!
A CENSURE OF BEST
CENSURE OF BEST SELLER "Speeding up the Author" by Florence Finch Kelly, an old K. U. graduate, which appears in the January Bookman, is a most refreshing and readable criticism. It is a censure of the hasty way in which modern writers of Best Sellers grind out their books and of the cheerfulness with which even our best authors of today merrily butcher and slash the English language, that they may satisfy a pressing publisher. For the student who is interested in writing, the article contains much that is helpful. For the student who reads for amusement alone, Mrs. Kelly's view of the author busily scribbling that he may "collect a herd of automobiles, and subjugate a yacht," will be very entertaining and readable. she writes from the inside, and the secrets she tells on the authors of today, Gene Stratton-Porter, Winston Churchill and many of their ilk, are delightful not to say enlightenment. It's in Spooner Library, in the January Bookman, in the magazine racks at the left of the entrance door.
AND THEY MAY BE RIGHT
In a recent article in the Saturday Evening Post, Will Irwin, a leading journalist of the United States and a war correspondent who returned from the battle fields of Europe only a few months ago, gives the views of a "citizen of the world" on what preparation for war means and the dangers that it involves. As Mr. Irwin sees it the United States should prepare, but he believes, and with probable correctness, that much of the hue and cry that has been raised during the last few months for the increase in size and strength in both the army and navy, has been caused by the firms who are at present making munitions for the Allies in the great war. Mr. Irwin is careful to say that these men probably believe that the money that they are spending for publicity urging greater readiness for war is for the good of the country, and that they have fooled themselves into believing that we should arm and arm quickly.
To a cynic it might appear, that men in the position of the munitions manufacturers would naturally have little trouble in fooling themselves.
NEEDED—A TUTOR
It's a shame that we didn't know that they were going to refund the $5 matriculation fee. We might all have arranged to be special Fine Arts students.
A novel add appears in the Columbia "Spectator." It may be a suggestion for those who are in like circumstances at this time of the year: LOGIC TUTOR WANTED—A PATIENT, slow-speaking, flegmatic philosopher, who knows Jevons backwards, and who can sympathetically inject his definite practical knowledge into an eager mind, too busy to puzzle out the subject alone. Professors not satisfactory. Student will meet tutor at University Tuesday and Fridays between 5:30-7 p. m. State in own handwriting, age, sex, weight and terms. D., Spectator Office.
And now on top of all his other troubles Henry Ford must learn that the K. U. Debating Society has decided that his peace expedition is $v$ total failure.
Should we believe our eyes when we read "Sphinx to Dance?"
Why if Ann Arbor objects to hood carrier wearing Class Toques don't they adopt something like the freshman caps?
At the other end of a business man's life, when he begins to grow old, and to relinquish one by one the cares and responsibilities of his business, then the tastes and habits formed in his youth by his college course in the Liberal Arts, provided he wants to succeed, he is invested in become invaluable. They sweeten his declining years, and enable him to grow old along with Rabbi Ben Ezra, gracefully and serenely. William J. Serrill.
THE KINCLY COMRADE
Whose side turn—to those whose accep't is to reject the niyyu stuff of dreams IS to reject the niyyu stuff of dreams Vibrils markings: "This have we eat—and this!" IS to reject those whose fancy plays with life LOOK at vision not immediate. No voice but mortal chatter in their ears AURS their eyes no vigilance, no heaven? O for that comrade with a king's conspiracy His right hand scepted with solemnly His left hand sparkling with the ball of mind, upon his head the iron crown Blipper than death but tipped with all the stars! Witter Rynner.

PROFESSIONALS
CAMPUS OPINION
communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but not written or published by a third party, if any.
College men should not think of becoming simply professionals, but rather of becoming professional men. The longer the preparation the better the final result, in human life as in nature. If a man is going to college, his management of an athletic or of some other activity is excellent preparation for business. But it should be remembered that the teacher is more than the subjects he teaches, the preacher more than the sermon; the writer more than the stories he writes, the business man more than his business. So the student should do all in his power to secure a liberal education for the main part of his profession as well as to prepare for his strictly professional work, and that is what he must accomplish in curriculum activities be of value. Man first; professional afterwards—Columbia Spectator.
Exasperated.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
While the Bible tells us that "it is more blessed to give than to receive"
it does not tell us that this principle applies only to man. Some women,
however, seem to be laboring under the impression that they are not included in the number of men so blessed, at least they never give. So we had the pleasure of meeting three or four women walking abreast along one of the sidewalks on the hill? If so did one or two of the number fall back so that you might have a little room to pass or did they stick to their formation and force you to step off into the mud or snow to thank you will have if you were faithful you will have off into the mud and slush you went. Of course it is a fine thing for the men of the University to treat the women with every consideration and be gentlemen always. No one will gainssay that but on the other hand should the men do it all? Why not a little consideration on the part of women? There would not necessary them to step off the sidewalk but if they would give up their four abreast formation when they meet people going in the opposite direction they would make it possible for all to use the sidewalks.
If the senior who was commissioned to help freshmen in their rhetoric has been thus four years of K. U. "society" it is little wonder he lacks ability to see anything in the expression "intellectual curiosity."
To the casual reader of the Kansas there seems to be a logical connection between the communication signed "Indignant" and some of the controversies set forth in the news section. It is amusing that the group of seniors should be unable to explain or write anything about "intellectual curiosity" when it appears, from the time and prominence given the subject, that the main intent and purpose of the University of Kansas is provide "social life" for a class of students who have time and money to waste.
This is not meant to condemn dancing generally. A wholesome social life is necessary, of course, for students as well as for anyone else. But why—to ask a question asked often before—give the people of Kansas to the task of determining what whether dances close at twelve, one, or two o'clock, when anyone with common sense knows that people as hard working as students are supposed to be able to take better care of themselves than to keep such hours, even if only for two or three nights
