With a heavy heart the writer commences his twice-a-week prayer to everyone in the University to brace up on the cheering. With the team we have this year it seems that every minute we would be yelling ourselves hoarse for "the grand old man" of the team, "Cap." Hicks, little Bert Poooler and all the rest of the gridiron guns, but the advent of the peanut boy causes more excitement than does an end run for a gain of thirty yards or a straight line buck for ten or fifteen.
Kansas City papers said that the yell that sounded out the loudest, best and most often at the Nebraska-Indian game was game was our old familiar "Rock Chalk." If we raised that much enthusiasm over a team with which we have no connection beyond the fact that we both live in the same town, in the name of all the tin gods and little fishes what can't we do at Kansas City next Thursday? Can't we let them know clear down at the Ninth Street Junction that the game is on? Can't we shout clear across the city that we've made a touchdown? Can't we utterly demoralize the bunch of Missouri rooters, and make their team have a deep seated conviction that it has been coached to play tiddledewinks instead of the game commonly called football?
YOU BET WE CAN!
All we have to do is to "take a brace." We have the finest assortment of yells in the country, and we ought to have the finest bunch of "yellers" to let the people know that we have been "not dead, but sleeping."
They're from Missouri, let's show them!
It is to be regretted that there is a deplorable tendency towards extravagance in small social events in the University. The movement, though it has been steadily growing for a couple of years, never became particularly noticeable until the beginning of the University this year.
Chancellor Strong sounded a keynote of warning when he said that he looked to the Greek letter organizations of the University to exercise due moderation in their participation in social affairs, and these societies should pay some attention to the warning.
Kansas University has always
be known and admired as a type of the breezy, democratic educational institution one finds only in the west, but she will have to look to her laurels if the present movement to make a "dress affair" of every $25 dance that occurs continues.
The pernicious influence of the conditions that allow social life in a school of fourteen hundred only to those that have money for cabs and dress suits is not to be overestimated. We do not want a social set limited to Harry Lenrs, nor do we think it a good thing to let our dances resemble tacky parties, but the sooner we return to sane methods in our social life, the better for us.
A careful look at the "bloom and beauty of Kansas", as typified in the young women of the University, makes the conclusion almost inevitable that they are ablebodied enough to reach the hall where a party is being given without the aid of a cab, nor do we believe that an awful cloud of gloom and depression would settle down over the room should all the young men arrive on the scene, wearing, not evening clothes, but common day suits.
Suppose the entertainers of the University start a reform in this line, and if the liverymen depend upon University patronage during fall party times for a livelihood, let's all stand and drink ruin to the cabmen.
At the beginning of the present term, there was considerable talk about the organization of a military company in the University. Many of the State schools have companies of the National Guard and it seems strange that a University as progressive as the University of Kansas does not give military training. There are plenty of students who have had training in one way or another, who

could fill the positions of military officers with credit to themselves and to the University, and material for a company would not be lacking. The main drawback in this case seems to be, as with all innovations, that there is no one who is willing to assume the responsibility of leadership. Nothing would be more beneficial than a course in military tactics.
Some of the professors write the quiz grades in hieroglyphics. Doubtless it is just as well.
CLAY COUNTY CLUB FIRST TO BANQUET.
To Cive Big Party in Clay Center Dec.
23—County Clubs Very Active and a Credit to the University—
Other Banquets to Follow.
The Clay County Club met Monday noon to discuss a banquet to be held in Clay Center December 23. The guests at the banquet will be K. U. students, K. U. Alumni, the Senior class of the Clay County high school, and a few Clay Center people who are specially interested. Prof. and Mrs. W. E. Higgins will attend, and the students hope that Chaneellor Strong may be there. Altogether, about fifty people will be present.
The students appointed a committee to confer with Chancellor Strong in regard to securing their student certificates earlier than usual. Unless this can be done, the students will not be able to reach Clay Center until almost midnight, Dec. 23.
Arrangements have been made to blow the whistle at the Fowler shops at half past five in the morning for the convenience of those who wish to rise at that time to study.
