Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kanaas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate education in the university go farther than merely printing the book by standing on the stage, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to enable the students of the University.

A man's reach 'should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?'—Robert Browning.
STUDENTS AT HOME
Sometimes a student goes home for a little vacation and has considerable trouble keeping on his hat. Chest expansion, enlarged head and an important strut are often his means of letting the people know he is attending college. This is the way the Peoria Journal deals with the subject;
"Not that we object to the money,
kids; we're glad to see you get along."
"Whenever we see one of the young college boys coming back to town and looking chesty, we think of the donations from the wealthy and the taxes from the poor that keep his college running.
"But if you'd stop to consider once in a while that you're really a beneficiary of private and state charity, maybe you wouldn't feel quite so chesy.
We are all going back to the old home in a few days. Let's make the folks back there proud of the fact that they are giving something for our education. Let's let our lungs perform their normal function and give our brains a chance on the main track.
chestiness "Chestiness is a flank movement by the lungs to make up for a lack of brains. Persons with plenty of gray matter are never chesty. They don't have to be."
IT IS NEEDED BADLY
The University of Kansas has no cafeteria, "a fact often regretted by hungry "studes" who would like to have a bite between classes. Often breakfast is an impossibility, owing to a tardy awakening. A hurried lunch on the hill would be a boon to many students who find themselves too busy to go down to their accustomed places for meals.
Many who now eat at the boarding clubs, and at restaurants, would prefer eating food prepared by the home economics department of the University.
Other schools have caterias. Kansas students going to Missouri for a football game, found that the best place in town to eat was at the University Cafeteria. Students attending the Aggie game at Manhattan, found that the best place in town for a meal was at the college cafeteria.
Such a plan, worked out under the auspices of the home economy determination, to get all he can next semester? Has he glimpsed the wonderful possibilities that are ahead? Does it all point to something?
ONE SEMESTER
The first semester is nearing its close, and from the standpoint of the first year student, what has been accomplished? Has every assignment been fully covered? Perhaps not. Every quiz creditably passed? Perhaps not. The necessity of making a negative answer may be disheartening, but these are not the big considerations.
Has this first year student developed an enthusiasm, backed with determination, to get all he can next semester? Has he glimpsed the wonderful possibilities that are ahead? Does it all point to something?
The canvass of freshmen women being made by their advisers to determine the vices they wish to follow after graduation is a valuable prompting to self-analysis.
WILL KANSAS SHIRK?
Military training in colleges and universities is the subject of much literature and talk among intelligent men and women all over the country today. The movement to have courses in colleges and universities which will prepare the graduate to enter the army in case of emergency with some idea of military tactics has met with rebuff and rebuff, especially in the Western universities. Why is this?
The idea is not to make soldiers of our students. There is no thought to prepare them for a military career. But it is a matter of serious consideration whether it is not wise to prepare them for service in case of emergency. In our colleges, generally, the students are taught to regard the privileges of an education as creating certain extraordinary responsibilities on their part to make their lives serveable, directly or indirectly, to the nation.
Since this spirit does prevail over the country, and the college man is the first to enlist in time of war, is it not also his duty to his country, and the duty of those in whose charge he is, to make some kind of preparation for his appearance on the battlefield?
If war should actually occur and there should be a call for volunteers, many thousands would rally to the colors with admirable spirit and enthusiasm; nevertheless, they would be untrained, undisciplined and totally ignorant of military theory and practice.
Only two possible avenues are open to those who wish to see their country able to defend its honor and repel possible invasion. One of these is, the establishment of a large standing army at enormous expense for the diffusion throughout the country of a military spirit. Do we want that? No. What is needed is not military display, but military strength; not an arrogant militarism, but one that is ready for an emergency call; not a visible army, but an available one.
If the other alternative were chosen and military training was offered in every college and university in the country, the standing army would not be increased, but would tend to be diminished. The actual strength on the parade ground would be decreased while the potential strength in the growing knowledge of military affairs would be increased. The day of universal peace is not at hand. And until that glorious "someday" comes, it is well to be prepared for the "today" that exists.
And why should not Kansas join with the more progressive schools that are offering their students courses in military training? Did not the boys from the Sunflower State help preserve the Union at the time of secession? Was it not the Twentieth Kansas that made such a phenomenal showing in the Philippines? And should Kansas fail to be in the front rank of this nationwide movement of preparedness?
Military Training I should be offered next year and both Military Training I and II given the following fall. One hour's credit might be given for each of the courses, the former open to and required of freshmen and the latter open to, but not required of homohrones and upper-classmen. In that way, Kansas would take a little step in advance. A summer camp could be held for six or eight weeks under the supervision of an army officer, whom the government would surely be glad to send, and the pleasures of camp life would be intermixed with a training for defense.
The educated man should be able to offer something more than a willing spirit. He should have the knowledge as well as the disposition to serve his country, and serve her well. Courage will not compensate for ignorance.

to the Editor of the Daily Kansas City. Those who attended the football coach Oleicott's suggestion, that the student body of the University find a plan whereby a group of students could look after the scholastic standing of the football men. It is a thing that some students would like to be student board, chosen by the students or organizations, is given the work of keeping track of the grades of every man on the football squad. When a man begins to drop in a subject the board knows it and proceeds to find a player and tell him how he stands and then one or two men on the board who are acquainted with the particular course that is causing the trouble go to work and tutor the player until they have a good chance not take a great deal of anyone's time and it relieves the coaching staff of a lot of worry. With a board of say twenty-five men it would be possible to have representatives of every team in the squad to tutor meticulously every subject given on the Hill. I would like to see the Kansan get back of this scheme and push it. Arrange some manner of selecting this board so that next year all the coaching staff and other students of the football player out of the men who turn out without having to worry about losing any othem through ineligibility.

What's the matter with the Gyn showers on the men's side of the building? Nobody seems to know or care that there are only three showers that work in any degree satisfactorily. Admitting that the Lawrence city water will cut the lining out of anything, I still claim that we should have a fifty per cent efficiency. Not only do the showers fail but we haven't never worked any better in the three years that I have attended the University. I wonder if it would be asking too much, if I suggested that at least half of the showers be in working order after the holidays?
