The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life from the outset and go further than merely printing the news by standing up for them. Students play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the best humanity to the University.

Do well and right, and let the world sink—Herbert.
ANSWERING MRS. NORRIS Kathleen Norris, the novelist of domestic life, has recently made the statement that college is no place for girls and that the business world provides the only same training for them at "that sensitive, mysterious age." Statistics, however, fail to offer proof or evidence that our college women are either mental, moral or physical wrecks.
As to the desirability of placing a girl out of high school directly into the business world we find that there is an increasing demand for college trained women in all lines of business just as there is an increasing demand for college trained men.
College training now a days is making for specialization, and there will soon be no place except in the mediocre lines of employment for the man or woman with nothing but an elementary education. This seems to offer some evidence that college training is of value. We find the college woman going into the business world with more of an idea as to what is expected of her, and more of an idea of what she is to expect; and we find the college woman coming out of the business world with fewer shattered ideals than her sister of the mere high school education.
COLLEGE NEXT
If Mrs. Norris is going to attack any branch of our educational system for its effect upon the girl in that "mysterious, sensitive age" it seems queer that she would not attack the high school, rather than the college. Mrs. Norris attributes the fatuous attitude of the 16 to 17 year old girl to the college woman. The usual age at which a girl begins college is 18, and if she is not ready at that age to meet the small problems of college life, she certainly is not ready to enter the business world.
The Engineers are discussing the publishing of a book of songs of the School of Engineering. What next?
FORM A CLUB
Everyone of the thirty-five members of the Oklahoma Club, which met to reorganize the other night, is a booster for the organization. They say it's great and they ought to know. Lets have more of such organizations at K. U.
If you don't live in Kansas hunt up the people from your state and organize a state club. If you live in the state get your county club going.
There is a common bond between people from the same place. Get acquainted with the people from your locality and strengthen that bond.
THE LITTLE THINGS
It is the little things that count: a professor was, walking down the Hill, a student passed him. The professor looked noncommittal. He could not

pened.
The student did not leer at the prof, he never looked the other way, he did not try to shove him off the walk or even hit him in the eye, but he said, "Good Morning" and the prof said "Hello." It is the little things that count.
Thru wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established—Prov. 243:3.

The discovery of vast salt fields in western Kansas ought to make it easier for the wheat growers to salt down their profits.
The domestic science sorority surely has an ear for sound. It would be hard to imagine a drink of Kappa Kappa Gamma or a plate of Kappa Alpha Theta, but can't you almost taste a dish of Omicron Nu?
All is fair in love and war, but we have the Honor System at K. U.
Another excuse for reviving the old argument, What's in a Name; "Jick" Fast.
There are still a few benighted students who insist Blake Hall was intended for Bleak Hall.
Had you noticed that Miss Loula Long held her annual show in Kansas City last week? Or do you read the K. C. papers?
In Minneapolis the "wets" stole 8766 votes, which makes our election crooks look like the rankest of pikers.
Hi Speed, who can work if sufficiently inspired, looked up from his Kansan and growled, "I will stand for the dosings of the University Hospital and for the application of the paddle, but it is going to take more than this new standing committee to administer the library to me."
The old hospital west of McCook Field has been turned over to the home economics class to decorate. After they have done their worst, a fitting grand finale would be a color scheme of red, made by the judicious mixing of kerosene and matches.
Everyone knew that the war would cause much suffering among the poor of America, but few had anticipated that the government's supply of liquid air receptacles.
The Midnight Story
But Olda Henn intervened.
Thursday noon the Doodle Bug Doo house, which is the Roost of Buckie the Frat, decided to hold a Hot Dog roast Saturday night. The Doodle Bug Doos really had no great hunger for Hot Dogs, but they wanted to show their Back to the Farm movement to Some Chicken and her cousin Shesa Bird, and some others of Olda Henn's flock.
That was the way she got the name of Olda Henn—just by intervening. She was not really old. No, why she had merely arrived at that age when she delighted to recount how So-And. So has mistaken her for her daughter. She intervened so persistently that she just had to be called Olda Henn.
This time a Little Bird whispered to Olda Henn that the Doodle Bugs were going to have the Scientific Lion for Chaperone, so she manufactured footprints to the telephone. There she cackled that the Doodle Bugs could not have the Scientific Lion and that furthermore they had not given her Three Days Notice, so that she had not time to go herself.
The Hot Dog roast became a pleasant meal of roasted Henn, undone cheese and potatoes.
Bacon-The substance that the Kansas football team will try to bring home; the Missouri Valley Championship.
Baboon—What a freshman thinks he looks like when he first puts on his cap.

Bannana—A very nourishing fruit much used on picnic trips. The skin of this fruit is often used as a sub-base for ice in producing sprawling effects.
Serious and near-serious interpretations of the meanings of campus words and phrases.
Bier—What sermons say one will come to soon who uses a liquid with the same pronunciation as the word defined.
Bank—That horrible institution that persists in sending in statements like this.
HERE'S HOW TO STUDY
—(From "Bokardo" by Edwin Arlington Robinson in September ("Poetry"),
Things should not "go in one ear and out the other;" there should be something within, between, them to fix the ideas, namely, your brains, and one easy way to do that is writing tersely the ideas, and drawing diagrams whenever possible. You will need them in your mind, and this selection of the essentials will help this important habit—Scientific American.
You aren't for dying yet,
So do not be a beast,
That would will say
Thinking twice, that they can pay
Half! Their debts of yesterday,
**Wait, the word 'beast' is actually 'bear'.**
The word 'beast' is actually 'bear'.
There are three chief ways of studying in this process of collegiate learning. In the first place by more or less conscious seeing and observing of books, diagrams, pictures, and other things that you can get only through your sense of vision. Secondly, hearing things with your ears, such as lectures, recitations and talk. And thirdly, by actually actively doing things—extensive laboratory work, clinical work, and to a much less extent essay work, constructive drawing, research.
The real artist in advertising never concerns himself whether the public buys his product or not. His only object is to make himself interesting—Life.
LEARN A LITTLE TO FORGET
Makes Quizzes Easy
You cannot understand anything worth learning without the subconscious mind, the great integrator of intelligence. The endless details of knowledge are supplied very largely by a unconscious mental process, this continual subconscious perception and observation by all the senses at once. It is the great planner of our behavior, how we solve the most important problems, the conduct of life; it is the seat of our motives, the developer of our habits, the associator of our ideas into real and useful knowledge.

With a student who uses normally and seriously both these methods of acquiring knowledge, examinations cease to be a bugbear. They simply take care of themselves. Examinations are not intended to trap you, but are intended as means to find out how much you know or do not know; how much you do not know; cramming for an examination is like carrying weights in your pockets when getting weighed; you are cheating yourself.
The economical way is to keep your notes posted up in your books and in your brains every day; so, they can associate and you learn much faster, giving your subconscious faculties a better chance. The power of grasping ideas is also important and it Puzzles out the gist and sense of a running discourse, select the ideas and express them in your own words.
Learn a little to forget
Life was once a feast;
There are two ways of learning—the conscious and the subconscious. Conscious or deliberate study—what is generally called "grinding"—is essentially a restraining process. In it we must hold back fatigue, the impulse to distractions, the stimulus of the senses, the longing for change, and everlastingly keep at it. It is the forcing of mental processes along new pathways. The conscious student may are present when the mind is open while the brain is closed and he must not try to learn by rote, except in a very few instances. He must have good health, abundant air and exercise, plenty of food and sleep.
Think Occasionally
Brains Are Desirable
Don't Study Too Long
Attention to a book should not be too long concentrated vigorously, but only for relatively short periods at a time. Every twenty minutes or so you should walk around the room for a minute or two for this activity draws some of the blood out of your brains into your legs; moreover, it relieves the injurious long fixation of the eyes. No one can sit for an hour, or an hour and a half, without changing his position, except at a considerable loss of nerve economy, and it is under such a condition naturally difficult to avoid going to sleep, partial or complete.
Grammar schools and high schools almost never as yet succeed in teaching their students how to think, and yet that is what counts most. A momentary, thoughtful idea often is worth a week of fruitless mechanical grind, just as one large highly cultivated Gravenstein is worth a whole barrel of crab-apples. Quality, not quantity, is what counts in study as well as in other things. Make a serious business of it, then, when you study, remembering that real learning that is, understanding and constructive power comes only through thought.
