THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY returns to school this year determined to make itself of more interest to the students and all concerned. With our University and our Chancel or, our faculty and our students there is no reason why our college publication should not be a most valuable paper and it is the intention of the new editorial staff to make it so. The WEEKLY sends greeting to all its readers and promises that it shall bend every effort to give them their money's worth.

IT IS scarcely necessary to remind the students how valuable a part of college life is the contact with the intangible something, which for want of a better name, we call college spirit. College publications, if they are doing their work, furriish perhaps as good a mirror of college spirit as can be found and the WEEKLY invites its friends to make use of its exchange columns and through them to get acquainted with the happenings at the University of Kansas and all other great universities.
TO THE Freshmen we send greeting and also a little advise. We want them to understand that the successful student must be a hunter—one who is not afraid of work, who goes ahead and just plows right on without hesitating one moment. We want the fellow who wants to accomplish something, who says boldly, "I will do that," and then does it. Young student, if you lack forwardness in this way, start right sow and do it. You envy the man who accomplishes results, but did you ever stop to consider that the same possibility lies within your power? In your very hands? In your very heads? Once we get started, we are all right, for we soon find out that the task is not as difficult as we at first supposed, and it is surprising to learn how much easier it becomes as we go onward. Many of us need a push and some an extra hard one.
THE college boys who assisted in the Kansas harvest fields should compare notes on their return so that they will not all write essays on "The Surprising Productiveness of Western Soil."
THE WEEKLY will strive to observe more proportion in its columns than before. Athletics for example, plays a n ost important part in a college education, but it is not by any means all of education. It takes many things to make up a well rounded university, and the University of Kansas is somewhat symmetrical.
DURING the summer the WEEKLY received numerous inquiries on various subjects from members of the K. U. Alumni and others. For example: A Miss Smarty took the liberty of asking the WEEKLY if it could help her to trace a very interesting article she read in some periodical about twelve years ago, of which she had entirely forgotten the name. The article described how the writer being out at night, on some marshes near a sea inlet, witnessed the silent arrival of a party of men in a boat, who surveyed the neighborhood of their landing and then departed. This inquiry, though more bewildering than many, suggested that we set aside one of our valuable columns for the sole purpose of enlightening those ambitions people who want to know things. So beginning with this number of the WEEKLY, we shall attempt to answer a few of the questions asked us and hope the student body at large will appreciate this unselfish offer and make the most of a real golden opportunity.
FRESHMEN, like all small children, should be seen and not heard. They should bear this continually in mind. They should not be foolish; think that just because they are not immediately annihilated whenever anyone bears to listen to their prattle, they are making what is vulgarly known as a hit. Mr. Carlyle must have had the Freshmen in mind when he wrote:— "Thou who wearest that cunning, heaven-made organ, a tongue, think well of this. Speak not, I passionately entreat thee, 'till thy thought has silently matured itself, 'till thou have other than mad and mad-making noises to emit; hold thy tongue 'till some meaning lie behind it to set it wagging.
"Consider the significance of Silence; it is boundless, never by meditating to be exhausted, unspeakably profitable to thee; cease that chaotic hubbub, wherein thy own soul runs to waste, to confused suicidal dislocation and stupor. Speech is silvern; silence is golden. Speech is human; silence is divine."
LTHOUGH the WEEKLY is essentially a newspaper, it shall try in the future to take the place of both a newspaper and a literary magazine. It shall also devote a page to wit and humor. The kind that students enjoy. We want the students to bear in mind that they all belong to the WEEKLY STAFF, in a way, and that we shall be more than pleased to publish any of their original productions containing merit. We want the WEEKLY so be of some interest to everyone.
So Freshmen if you want to make a "hit" keep still.
I have had playmates, I have had com
explore.
The Old familiar faces.
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days.
Drinking late, sitting late with my bosom conies.
I have been laughing, I have been carotous
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
I loved a love once, fairest among women;
Closed are her doors on me, I must not see
have a friend; a kinder friend has no man
Hil, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
Like an ingrate, I left my friend abruptly.
Left him to muse on the old familiar faces.
Ghost like, I placed 'round the haunts of my childhood'
I seemed a desert, sound to traverse.
Seeking to find the old familiar faces.
Friend of my bosom, 'thon more than a brother,
Wert wert not thon home in my father';
dwelling;
So might we talk of the old familiar faces
How some they have died, and some they have left me.
And some are taken from me; all are departed-
All, all are gone; the old familiar faces.

To the WEEKLY.
DEAR SURS: I want to ask a favor of you. Since my daughter returned from the fashionable boarding-school where I sent her last year, her conversation is composed of very largely tnose expressions commonly known as "fashionable slang." For example, my daughter met a friend of hers and a gentleman, in the hall leading to my office. I could hear this conversation and here it is—
"Why, Emily! I did not expect to meet you. How lovely!" They kissed.
"Oh, perfectly splendid! I just came home last night."
"How lovely! You had a splendid time?"
"Oh, it was just perfect. We went as far as the mountains!"
"Mountains! Oh, how delightful."
"Yes, awfully nice! I rode on the engine."
"How lovely!"
"Oh yes."
"Yes, just splendid. You are coming to Loma's this evening." "Oh, yes. It will be lovely! You are coming?"
"Oh yes, lovely! Good-by,
dear."
"Good-by, dear."
"How perfect!"
The use of exaggerated adjectives, repeated ad nauseam, with out regard to sense is driving me distracted. Of course, I am charitable and realize that the habit was unconsciously acquired, and that the unfortunate girls are ignorant of the effect of the perpetual babbling reiteration of one or two unhappy words, but can you suggest a way in which to break my daughter of her bad habit. Sincerely Yours,
They kissed and parted.
