The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate in life, and to go further than merely printing the text in a University holds to: play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gregarious; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to know more clearly the students of the University.

THE SAME SPIRIT
Playing true to form, Kansas showed that same spirit of fight in the two basketball games Friday and Saturday night that has made them for several years past the most feared team in the Missouri Valley. Even though a game or two is lost at the first part of the season, that spirit of fighting every minute of the game cannot help but put the majority of the games in the "won" column.
Some of the basketball fans of the University were disappointed at the showing of the team last week, disappointed because the new team did not start off with the same rush that has characterized the excellent teams of the past. Followers of the sport who should know what they are talking about declare that another championship team is "in the making." The mistakes that the players made were for the most part mistakes caused more by an over-zealousness to do the right thing than mistakes caused by ignorance of the game.
We congratulate Ames on the splendid team that they have and for the sportsmanlike conduct of the men under the leadership of Captain Holmes. We predict for them a successful season in Missouri Valley circles.
But for Kansas, we prophesy another season in basketball wherein the names of the Jayhawkers will stand high among M. V. leaders.
ON BEING GOOD CITIZENS
Much has been said and written during the past few years about the duties of a citizen. We have been warned that apathy is fatal and that unless every citizen does his duty the nation will surely suffer. Alarmists have pointed to the downfall of Rome and have seen "breakers ahead" for the United States.
Much has been written that was exaggeration but under it all there is a great deal—the ideal of the republic in which every citizen takes an interest in the government and tries to make it better.
It lies within the power of the citizens of the United States and of the state of Kansas to do a great deal to make their country and their state better. Many of these citizens are here in the University and past experience would lead one to believe that that state of apathy, which the alarmists fear, is greater nowhere than here—the place where citizens should be striving to make the tree of idealism bear fruit.
One of the easiest ways, to show one's loyalty to country is through the ballot. To be a good citizen one must be a good voter and to be a good voter one must know what he is voting for. There are a lot of voters here in the University and it is safe to say that some of them are not good citizens.
Spring elections are coming and every voter in K, U. will have an opportunity to show that he is a good citizen.
NOT VERY MANY
The first answer the professors make to the charge of holding classes overtime is that it is unreasonable and unfair to object to a lecturer finishing his sentence when the whisle blows. Any student will grant that. The students' objection is the starting of new points in the discussion or the lengthy winding up of the sentence, of course, but how many worthwhile sentences require more than a minute to finish!
THIS IS KANSAS, THOUGH
When the smoke winds up straight from the chimney, and some unseen hand in the night paints Arabian Night dreams on the window panes, and trees and bushes sprout tiny, fairy-like pin feathers of frost, you may be sure that winter has come. Seasons no longer contain themselves within their proper limits. Nature plays tricks of fancy. She may suddenly drop a winter day in the season belonging rightfully to spring or summer, and she often drags autumn far into winter's time. We may judge the seasons only by their signs.
Winter may "spring" upon us in a night, or come like a queen with great heraldry. Her heralds come from the corners of the earth—a handful of white flakes from a misty white sky, or a chilling wind from the ice palaces of the north. Or she may give hint only by a dead silence, a complete lack of energy in the atmosphere that the world is to be shortly wrapped in a swirling mantle of snow.
YES, JUST WHY NOT?
Iowa State College owns its own cafeteria. It is called the College Inn. It is managed by a committee appointed by the chairman of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. This committee is composed of two faculty members, (one of whom is chairman) of the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and of two members from the student body. Its work has proved so successful that last week it established its second cafeteria service.
More than 500 students were served promptly at the first meal. It is opened only for dinner and supper for the present, but if the patronage continues it will serve breakfast, also. Altogether, the two cafes, the old and the new, or the first and the second, as they are called, are doing a big business, and are serving the students more economically and quickly than they have been served in the past in the private cafes.
Why not?
Quitters. That is a pretty hard word to call the unusually large number of students who do not intend to re-enter school the next semester because they are a little pinched for money or have not had the expected shower of ones and twos. But have they not the quitter's characteristics? Are they not showing a lack of gameness in sticking it out? Judging from the past, it is safe to say that of every two men who quit now, only one will ever return. Brace up. Don't be a quitter.
FIGHT!
Delinquent students at Dartmouth, it is officially announced, will not hereafter be permitted to make up their deficiencies by attendance at the summer school. In past summer sessions 75 per cent of the students had failed in one or more courses during the preceding semester. What if this idea should spread westward!

The Harvard Crimson has moved from the basement of the Union Club into a building all its own. The occasion was celebrated by a special 44-page edition of the Crimson.

A special feature of this plan is to organize in each county a cooperative body of 100 citizens, pro-rated according to population, so that each township will have at least one member; this body will hold meetings which the newspapers will report for the benefit of kindred bodies in other counties and readers in general. -Independent.

Fourteen leading newspapers in as many rural counties in central Illinois have arranged each to devote a page a week to subjects calculated to educate readers to a "general sense of their relationship to each other," the purpose being to "help readers to help themselves by clearing house of ideas gathered in the world of cooperation effort affecting every phase of rural improvement."

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
For a while this fall I heard a great deal of talk about "sings", but all now talk seems to have vanished entirely. For my part, the "sings" would be good for the University. To get big crowds of men women together and start them singing would be a big step taken in the way of unifying sentiment on the hill and bringing out that eiusive quality which we call "loyalty" to our Alma Mater. In some universities there are large girls made up of fifty or more devoted voices which are made up in evidence at all schools, affairs. They have school songs, class songs, "pop" songs appropriate for every occasion. One can readily see how such a glee club might be a nucleus for all class songs.
They have clubbed together forming an organization known as "The Society of Learning and Labor." They have rented a house in the city, and together in a manner suggesting the socialistic experiments of Brook Farm. The men who have money pay the running expenses of the club while those who are not are given the necessary labor necessary to the upkeep of the establishment. In this way they secure room and board. The college has been able in many cases to grunt their scholarships and so the problem of recruiting met. "The North American Student."

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Editor of the Registrar's office has come a report designed to show the scholarship of apority and non-sorority women and fraternity and nonfraternity men. The report compiles the figures, the III grades were not included.
Some of these men are government students while others are studying independently. When the revolution occurs, they need to leave theirselves without funds. Under the peculiar American law which forbids them to work for a living, they were in an especially trying situation. The problem was that the problem is exceedingly interesting.
In fairness to all concerned, and for the sake of arriving at a dependable conclusion, why were the III grades not included? Because I have stated that let us have statistics that indicate something. The preponderance of II grades in one group and not in another group with which the first is compared, gives a misleading result and such figures lose their significance for persons whose graduation on the question of the scholarship of the groups under consideration.

According to statistics issued by the Federal Bureau of Education, at Washington, Oberlin is the most cosmopolitan college in America, and is second only to Yale University in the wide distribution of its undergraduate students. The present recipient from foreign lands, representing almost thirty different nationalities. Among these the Chinese are particularly prominent. This is quite natural, for over thirty years Oberlin has maintained a large educational enterprise in the province of Shansi, North China. There today Oberlin supports more than 800 students and a teaching staff of about fifty. It is quite natural, therefore, to find nineteen Chinese studying at Oberlin.
