The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, then than directly printing the news by standing for the press and play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to leave more serious problems to wiser heirs; in all, to serve the university as the guardian of the University.

MARK TIME.
Holding classes overtime has grown into such a habit with a number of the faculty members that it seems as though the matter should be brought to general attention. Carelessness, thoughtlessness and inconsiderateness on the part of professors are at the bottom of the whole trouble. No professor willfully and maliciously forces his classes to be late for lunch, time after time; he merely forgets that boarding house keepers are not so considerate as his wire in keeping meals hot and waiting. And not having to dash from one building to the top floor of another building across the campus he never considers how inconvenient a three or five minute delay may be.
Complaints have been coming in all year from students and faculty members who are constantly inconvenienced through classes being held over time. Faculty members have felt as deeply over the matter as the student body, and since the complaint has been so general the Daily Kansan has adopted a measure of publishing the names of the guilty professors and the classes which were held after the whistle blows.
Professors have recourse to various forms of punishment for students who habitually late to class, but students can only wait and wriggle. If we are to have system introduced into our University life this year the first thing to remedy is slovenliness.
IT WOULD BE A SHAME
Let's run the University on time!
Fifty years ago less than half a hundred sturdy Kansas boys and girls toiled up the rocky slope of Mount Oread to the newly founded University of Kansas. It took imagination in those days to believe that the University of Kansas was destined to become a great institution of learning, for it had only one small building and three instructors.
In the half a century that has elapsed since the children of the pioneers, clad in homepun and linssey woolsey, came to the University to drink of the Fierian spring, the University has grown to be one of the greatest in the Middle West and the prediction of Amos Lawrence, that "it's light should never be extinguished until it should illuminate the nation," bids fair to be fulfilled.
Great events are worthy of commemoration and the people of the United States have a way of commemorating the great events in the history of their country. But we of the University have grown careless. Apparently we are going to let the semi-centennial of the founding of the University go by without even having a chapel exercise. And if we do it will be to our eternal disgrace for the
spirit of these men, our forefathers, who made the school possible is worthy of a greater commemoration service than we will ever be able to give.
BE IN YOUR SEAT.
When the refree's whistle shrills at seven-thirty Friday evening in Robinson Gymnasium, Kansas will be started on the road to another basketball championship. It is going to be a new team that goes out on the floor, one that has not worked together against a strong opponent and one that K. U. students have never seen play before. The athletic management has enlarged the seating capacity and improved the arrangement over what it was last year. There is a seat there for you. Be in it Friday night when the game starts and see the Jayhawker five win its first conference game of the year.
ARE WE TOO HARDENED?
In spite of all our exclamations against the barbarian and cruelty of the war the suffering in Europe still continues. It takes more than sympathy and disapproval to alleviate suffering. The students of the University did well last year in their contributions to the Belgian Relief fund, and they did fairly well this year in contributing to the Christmas fund, but they are capable of doing more.
The latest appeal to the University students comes from the War Relief Club that has been formed in town. The committee members are asking for contributions of money and old clothing and the assistance of University women in making bandages. There are few students in the University who cannot comply with one of these requests. Almost everyone has some kind of old clothing that he could give to help dress some suffering woman, child or old man. There are thousands of women and children in Poland who have not enough rags to keep them from freezing to death, and they are dying the most terrible kinds of deaths every day. Is it too much to ask for a little thoughtfulness on our part to help relieve this suffering?
If you cannot give even a few cents to the committee, hunt for some discarded clothing, or at least give a little time to the making of bandages and hospital supplies.
Every afternoon, those fellows are out in the cold wind running over bad roads. And it is good work for Kansas. That's the part of it that counts. They do it for their school.
To Captain Fred Rodkey and all the rest of the "under-dressed" who are working to see that Kansas makes the Missouri Valley track bacon easy frying, we turn with a mighty cheer.
Keep the good work up, fellows,
and the Missourians will have the privilege of going through another night of agony in the spring.
"Preparedness," with "finals' only three weeks away, should have many advocates.
A story coming from the University of Indiana tells of a robbery in which the thieves seemed to take no precaution to avoid capture. They must have known the caliber of the Bloomington police force.
The Ames basketball team aims to defeat the Jayhawker squad on Friday and Saturday nights while the Kansas team is firm in its aim to spoil the aim of Ames.

No matter how 'tis done;
And let me show you.
Each day must pass, each hour must
And every day thats thrown away

Editor of the Daily Kansan;
Why can not the university classes run on time? I thought the Chancellor gave order last fall that students should not be the sound of the whistle. Yet there are professors who hold classes so long that students who go from Fraser to the Administration building have to dismissimmed classes still in session.
knows. Arthur Clough.
I have a class in the Administration building which is followed by another on the fifth floor of Fraser. I am always late to the second class and miss my assignment, which is given at the opening of the class all morning. The professor of the first class holds me over from three to ten minutes.
editor of the Daily Kansan;
Nothing is gained by holding classes over time. It is a great inconvenience in my case as I have to go to the professor after class and eport present, and get the assignment.
"A Peeved Student."
Time is Money, sayh the sages and the wise men of all ages. Now if that statement is true, as we have seen in chapter 3, taught in classes of economy, there is enough Money in the guise of Time being wasted about this University to build two or three Administration buildings and a Stud-
I am always having trouble with people stepping on my toes. I hate to seem to be always cross, but it should be not to me. What should I do about it?
Motion pictures of the Michigan-
Pennsylvania game were taken by a

and presented in the theater for which the film was taken.
There is a half hour off in the mornings, given over to the chapel services, that is thrown away. Only an average fifty attend and we have about 2550 students who idle or sleep away that two and a half hours every week. There are about 6,375 hours a week wasted here in school. Karen Hardy is hardly be avoided by the students. Counted in pennies that little half hour each morning is pretty costly to the students of the University.
Two kinds of people step on your metaphorical toes—professors and humans. If you are a girl you can quickly freeze with a glance any human you encounter, but you will employ a more forceful form of freezing or heating. We can offer you no suggestions, however, as to the manner of treating professors. We have suffered long and patiently, and still continue to suffer. If you ever find a remedy would it be askew too much that you send it on to us?
THE QUESTION BOX
M. C. K.
This department does not pretend to be a research department, so we do not question the host of its ability. It reserves, however, the right to refuse any information that it deems unsatisfactory or biased data that you can easily find concerning the viral problems of the patients under our care. The role of the experts in this department is to provide information on these issues.
We are a little puzzled about your meaning, Weoobegbe, we do not know whether you mean that people step on your metaphorical toes, or the toes on your feet. Since we have had trouble with people stepping on both kinds of our toes, we can be properly symmethetic.
Dear Editor:
Woebegone.
Try for a time wearing much larger shoes than you ordinarily wear. This will deceive those who step on your feet, and will probably tend to embarrass them when they discover that they have been foiled; or if you feel that they are not intentionally stepping on your feet, then they should be avoided while when you see them approaching. People are often very quick to take a hint made in such a subtle form.
