UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
Phone. Bell K. U. 25.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of a former than merely printing the news by standing in the doorway and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be auspicious; to leave, more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand, to identify the students of the University.
TUESDAY. NOV. 23, 1915.
"And every misery that I miss is a new mercy; and therefore let us be grateful."
OFF FOR HOME
We leave tomorrow for the Thanksgiving vacation. Some of us are going home for the first time since graduating from high school.* Those folks back there are looking for us to enter the old village with some freakish design of suit, some 1917 model hat and a tie that would "stop a clock."
K. U. appeals to you, freshmen men and women, to live up to the ideals of the school. She asks you to go home as a conservative student should. K. U. begs of you to go home this vacation wearing conservative clothes, thinking conservative thoughts, committing conservative acts.
A REAL DAY OF THANKS
Your school asks merely that you be yourself—your best self.
After many winters of cold and suffering and loss of life, and after many summers of barren fields and meagre harvests, an autumn of abundance came to the Pilgrim Fathers. The fields were ripe with grain, wild game was plentiful, and larders contained even a few of the luxuries of life. The Pilgrim Fathers bowed their heads in thanks. Other years might contain hardships, others sufferings, but because their toil had been rewarded by this year of plenty they had gained strength to go on and face the future. And so they said: "Let us set apart a day of thanks giving, a day on which we will be especially grateful for the blessings we have received."
Thanksgiving approaches again.
To many it is only a day of turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie and nuts; to others it is a day of gratitude for what the year has brought to them—or spared them.
What is it to you?
WE WANT YOU, EDITORS
We are glad to hear it. Editors of the state—250 of them—came to Lawrence a year ago last spring and went away from Mount Oread with a more thorough understanding of the real worth of their state university than they had had before. They are all pulling for K. U. now. They had some misconceptions brushed from their "thunk-tanks." They came and saw a great factory of knowledge in full working order. They opened their eyes to the real worth of a school that was serving, not only those residents here, but thousands over the state in every town and village and in the rural communities. They realized as never before how practical is the work carried on here.
We are glad they are coming again next April. Some of the best authorities on national questions are to appear on the program and all
the students of the University—not only those in journalism—will have a chance to hear vital phases of national life discussed. There will be an opportunity for the professor and student, the editor and his "devil" to meet and talk over the perplexing questions in the profession.
And, better than the rest, some more Kansans will learn something about their own school—the school that bears the mark of the state and signifies the ambitions of the commonwealth in educational matters. They will return to their posts, those most influential in their community, with a clearer vision of the ideals of the students and teachers at the University.
They may even be an important factor in the mill tax campaign in 1917.
THE CALL OF HUMANITY
"For inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my children, ye have done it unto me."
Over in Europe today, thousands are suffering from hunger, thousands do not have enough clothes to keep them warm, thousands are lying on sick beds without medical aid.
Here on Mount Oread we are not only supplied with necessities, but countless luxuries. We have plenty to eat and wear, an abundance of pleasure and plenty of time for study and self-advancement.
Are we turning our backs on Europe today? Are we, as John R. Mott says, indifferent to the terrible carriage on the continent? Do we not care about God's children across the waters? When we neglect them, we are neglecting Him. He said so Himself. When we help them, we help Him.
Unseafishy, without renumeration and for the cause of humanity, thousands from this country are dedicating their lives to the relief of the unfortunates in Europe. Not all of us can go to the scenes of suffering and bloodshed, but we can all help. Christmas is near and each of us will spend ten, twenty, thirty, maybe fifty dollars for presents. What a commendable thing it would be if each of us would give a dollar Christmas present to those in Europe who need it. We may never know where the money goes, what life is saved, how many little children it furnished with a good meal; but we will know that it went for a worthy cause.
December 1 will be University of Kansas Tag Day for the Relief of Europe.
Will you do your part toward showing Mr. Mott that the students at K. U. are the exception in America? If you can't give a dollar, give a half, if you can't give a half, give a quarter, if you can't give a quarter, give a dime.
From the money that you intend to spend for Christmas save a dollar or a half or a quarter or a dime for God's children in Empreze who are in need of help. Let's make this the greatest day of the year. Let's put December 1 down in history as the day when University of Kansas students showed to the world that they were thankful for their opportunities and were desirous of helping, in their own small way, the admirable work of Christian men and women in Europe.
Chancellor Strong wants every student on the Hill next Wednesday, December 1 wearing a Europe Relief tag.
Give something.
Boston College is doing a unique thing in connection with her dramatics. The first performance of "Pep O' My Heart" the proceeds of Pep O' My Heart went toward endowment of a chair of Philosophy, has been given.
IT CAN BE DONE
Let's do it!
Just now there is some little attention being paid to Dramatics in the University and there has been much speculation about the interest. By backing some worthy object, not necessarily of the same nature as the one referred to, but something equally worthy, Drama must be given a very forceful impetus.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
A Professor's Lament
There's studs to fight, there grades
(M sight).
And Kansas cubs to run away,
'Tis all year long the same old song
With ne'er a rise o' pay.
IT IS CLEAN THOUGH
IT IS CLEAN. GOOD.
Football injuries. Yes, we hear a great game where them move. Broken knees, grinned ankles, broken ribs, and "chairley horses" are common topos of conversation. But are these the greatest injuries that sometimes come from the national intercollegiate sport?
Certainly they are not. Arthur Howe, in the North American Student for November, says they are not; and who is better qualified to criticise the game than the formal captain and coach at Yale?
The real injuries are not the injuries to men's physical bodies, but the injuries to human life and character and personality. The real injuries are inflicted when an unprincipled coach creates about a moment of immorality and carelessness in the important things of life.
"Life will be destroyed," says Mr. Howe, "if the winning of the game is more important than the building of character. If it is to be made the all-important purpose of a college football team, the man's four years will be wasted."
Football for sport's sake is a great name, but it can easily be made a mordant word.
Pan-Hellenic has been the object of much criticism this semester by the college public of several universities. The organization at Stanford was openly criticised by the college chaplain. The University of Utah has abandoned the Pan-Hellenic because of unsatisfactory relations, and the universities of Nebraska Missouri and Tennessee have the existing conditions. Kansas has its Pan-Hellenic problems as well, and the time has come to solve them
PAN-HELLENIC REFORM
The two chief local problems are lack of unity, and a system of passing several series of rules, one to encumber the Existing methods seem to be worn out.
Why not reorganize after the manner of some eastern Pan-Hellenic associations, which direct their energy toward aiding university administration? In connection with the self governing executive board for practical aid?
This department does not pretend to know everything, and it is a question to the best of its ability. It requires you to be well informed about swabs. Don't ask about coins, stamps or historical dates that you can easily find in your desk drawers. You need to concern the viral problems of the company as well as the training of the experts in this department.
THE QUESTION BOX
What can I do to remove freckles?
To the Question Editor:
If the freckles are small and brick colored you might apply lemon juice seventeen and two-thirds times a day. However, if they are the size of a maple leaf, you may place a small charge of dynamite or nitro-glycerin under each one and ignite. But since the leaders of high society are wearing freckles for beauty spots, as the ancient Greeks did, I would advise you to keep your freckles and be in fashion.
At my boarding club I sit next to a pretty girl. As I can hardly keep from looking at her all the time, I don't get enough to eat and I'm nearly starved for food and love. What shall I do?

Safe from colds
There's no need of catching those colds that come from getting overheated, then sitting down in the wind and getting chilled.
Duofold Underwear
keeps you warm—not hot—absorbs perspiration, dries it, and prevents winter colds.
Duofold is soft cotton next to the skin—absorbs moisture; then air-space—dries it; then wool—keeps out the cold.
Duofold saves doctor's bills.

To the Question Editor:
I am a freshman and I would like to know why all the students go to the library at night.
**know it.**
The library was the method to promote democracy. Miss Wasson likes to have the students meet their friends' there evenings and visit.
Make dates with all your friends to meet you there at night for a visit. That is what the library is for and the librarians like to see you happy.
