- The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students who go to or former than they simply printing the news by standing behind them; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be able to laugh; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the people who identify the university of the University.

The hero is not one who is never afraid, but one who, being afraid, goes forward—Dr. Wilfred Grenfall.
CONGRATULATIONS
The editorial, business and reportorial staffs of the University Daily Kansan take this opportunity—in the last issue of the paper before the holidays to congratulate the faculty and student body of the school upon finishing three months of the first semester of the year in worthy fashion. Our athletic teams have made remarkable showings, considering the circumstances; the grades in the deens' offices are the highest they have been in years. We have had more good addresses, more good musical numbers, more successful smokers and have in all ways, accomplished more than in any similar period.
And while we are offering congratulations to you, faculty members and students, we wish to include the merchants and townspeople of Lawrence and the citizens of the state of Kansas, and wish—in time-worn words,—a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all.
ITS TOO BAD, BUT—
A number of communications have been received by the editor which cannot be run this year because of the large amount of live material now in type to be used before the holidays.
Because communications are printed on the editorial page, some writers to the "Campus Opinion" column have mixed two 'parts of the page. One of the communications recently received at the office is cruelly unjust to the Kansan in that it says that an editorial in the paper stated that the new closing rule was one by Mrs. Eustace Brown. Mrs. Brown's name has not been mentioned in an editorial in the Kansan at all in connection with the new closing hour for dancing.
The editor wishes to apologize for not running these recent communications which have been received. Two of them advocate an earlier hour for starting dances; five of them commend the paper for "voicing student sentiment," one is on the bad system of showers in the gymnasium, and another is on proper ventilation of University Buildings.
Write some more after the holidays.
THEY NEED A WALK
Are the people who live on the north side of the hill of more importance than those who live on the south side? It can hardly be said that they are, for many faculty members and students have their homes on the south side of Mount O'Regan and are playing as large a part in the life of the University as are those who reside on the north.
Why then should those people on the south have to labor over a rickety board walk, that is little more than a memory, or trespass on private property whenever they come to the campus. In bad weather the present ap-

proach to the campus from the south is impossible and pedestrians are forced to use a private walk to reach the hill. If the University would provide an approach from the south as it has from the north the necessity for trespassing would be done away with. Independent Shea will try to get
MAYBE IT'S ALL RIGHT?
Superintendent Shea will try to get the money next year. We wonder which "next year" that will be.
Why not a little culture and reserve in our forms of greeting? Why must pet names be used in salutation? Several girls meet and immediately the air is filled to overflowing with "dear," "honey," "lovie," "darling," "dearie" in a rather sickening mixture.
The gushing effusiveness of the feminine members of the student body, while laughable, is no more absurd than the stolid greetings of the men.
"Yea Bo," "Hey Kid," "Say Old Sport," "Old Scout," "Cull," "Bunch" coming from men who have supposedly passed their grade school mannerisms, is equally absurd.
If a dictaphone could be used to record some of the wishy-washy greetings of the members of the student body, there would be more propriety in the meetings of students and less mush and nonsense.
What becomes of those freshman caps? Has any one ever seen a second hand cap, a last year's cap on a
THE CAP'S HERITAGE
When a man considers the number of paddlings his cap has saved him, he keeps it because of its great service. It is a souvenir, treasured like the first pair of shoes he wore or the first pair of trousers that his mother made him. Would he sell that cap? Never!
freshman? No! Those caps cannot be purchased.
Of course some students do not save their caps, but they don't sell them or give them to freshmen. They give them to the younger brother at home, or keep them to hold down their hair when they shampoo, or put them in their "K" books. Every freshman will admit that he thinks more of his cap every day.

Coach Stagg is making a stiff fight to keep college baseball in the Big Nine Conference. Although the conference majority favored the abolition of intercollegiate baseball, one by any number, against Illinois. Illinois can be counted on to vote the measure, says the Purdue Exponent.
This is happy Christmas time,
And everyone is gay,
But to make a snappy, happy rhyme,
Is work for me, not play.
