"GLAD TO SEE YOU, EVERYONE"
That happy pep song which ends "Glad to see you, everyone," expresses the welcome which the entire University extends to its new students. At commencement time many of the University's loyal students left the Hill to seek new fields of conquest. We will miss them, but already we are anticipating what your coming is to mean to the University.
Since Commencement in June, everyone from the Chancellor to Van, the animal man, has contributed a share in the preparations for your coming. Mr. Foster, the registrar, and his force have been working over time in order that your entrance difficulties may be made as easy as possible. The carpenters, electricians, painters, masons and janitors have been making repairs and cleaning up things for your arrival.
Old students will recognize changes which you will take for granted, such as the new little theater in Frauen hall; the construction of the new science building, which has progressed rapidly during the summer; the moving of the stenographic bureau and the Jayhawker offices to the old Commons building; completion of the new golf courses, and many general repairs necessary for the maintenance of University equipment.
Each thing done has made it easier and more comfortable for your stay here. The Deans, the faculty, the Student Government Associations, and the old students stand ready to aid you in any way possible. This is our welcome to you.
THANKS
"If College students of the present day are so utterly beyond hope why, do you suppose, has the University of Kansas School of Fine Arts established a class in harp-playing?"—New York Earning World.
How kind of the World to suggest that Kansas has decided that if its students are ever to do any harp playing they must do it here and now.
WHY THEY COME
If one should catalog the reasons which high school graduates have for coming to the University, the showing might startle the faculty into running away—assuming of course, that the individual student would tell the truth about the matter. Those who have watched with a discerning eye the classes come and go easily pick out some of the most obvious reasons which motivate students.
One of the most evident types is the deeply serious student—whose coming to college—whose every action, indeed—is directed at the "culture" with which he hopes to color his personality. He is out to experience all "the finer things of life," the "uplifting feelings," the "inspiring thoughts of the ages," et cetera, ad infinitum, and ad lib. He would not miss a concert because he knows it is one of the "things that count."
by EDNA TUTT FREDERIKSON
Here what is mortal of her lies
Entombed beneath the pensive slime
This is her grace on the lonely hill
Where is the whiny wind is never still,
And the trembling trees and the wist-
EPITAPH
Tenderly murmure a dim vienna,
White time lines this will be he尔室
Never again will she fancy room
With wine through the must that slow
wild wood
Like a grupe-blue veil o'er the distant
town;
Never again will her worm ever paze With mine at the world beyond the haze,
Striving to pierce through its mystery
Never again—for her soul in free. Here on the hill her body lies,
One with the clay; but her spirit lives
High with the rapturous wind, and
shrubs
itself in the happy-colored clouds,
Flames in the rose-lit holes of the
wet
Thrilla in Aurora's soft-flashed breast
Lives in the heart of all lovely things
In voice of bird and in butterfly
winnings.

Is one with the brooding, hovering night.
Only her ashes are here; again
Her spirit lives in the sun and the rain,
One with the stars and the pale moonlight.
One with the shining, flower-sweet air,
One with the soul of Eternity.
Only her flesh is claimed by the soul,
She lives in the endless dream of God.

As crowds in all the lectures he can because he is "thrilled by the power of thought" which they convey. He is the one who is constantly evoking over his rapidly broadening personality. Failing to realize that culture first begins with a good foundation this bargain hunter comes to the campus eager to swallow anything which may accomplish his ideal.
Another comes for the purpose of advancing his popularity, and to this end he adopts the very best manner of the most successful ward politician. Like the man in the business world who "spreads the sugar" to obtain his desire, this student works on everyone near him to help in traveling the upward road to social esteem. Everyone from the cook to the junior comes in for a share of the applesauce. This student works hard for effects which in the final total mean little.
Still another comes with the sacred ideal of making Phi Beta Kappa. At the expense of friendship, health, and many other things which go to make up a well rounded life, he works away, a slave to grades. This student rave, but his rarity makes his disease even more noticeable.
The student who comes to break into society and to loathe is perhaps the most useless type of all. So called "high society life" and real student life do not speak to one another in a common language. The rain-drop cannot be split, it falls either to one side or the other. One may know when to wear a dinner coat and when to wear Oxford bags, but he may not know much else.
Enough ballyhoo has been given the student who comes to achieve an athletic career. Indeed the puns and crude remarks about the college have had an undue vogue. To the stranger this type seems outstanding. It seems to overshadow the others. But viewed in perspective it is a small minority group.
Increased earning power is the bait cry of others. "We come to college from being keep ditch dig.

ATHLETICS TAKE A TURN
In every community there appears a type of individual who is devoid of purpose. Some of these come to school because they do not know what else to do. A few of them ultimately find a purpose; many never do.
But enough of the motivating reasons have been given. The situation is not alarming, for the "average" student is not one of these extremists but a combination of several types. He is not ideal, to be sure, but neither are the folks back home or anywhere else in the universe. He is what he is, and that is good enough, and the resulting college community is sane and serious and wholesome.
K. U.'s athletic horizon has been growing more rosy each day since early spring. An almost completely changed coaching personnel and the promise of the return of several stars would make it appear as if something big would break for Kansas this year. Football fens have been mourning the loss of the Jayhawkers' former prowess for some time. With "Bill Hargiss and his assistants here ready for action it looks; as if the football organization means business—the kind of business which produces a good team the school is willing to back, win or lose.
Basketball prospects are good and it is quite probable that Doctor Allen's team will maintain its usual high rating. Loss of the tip-off control because of the untimely death of

Additional facilities in the way of tennis courts, handball courts, golf courses, makes possible larger participation in these sports. Even the most timid freshman should have a chance to become interested in some phase of athletics.
For the last two years K. U. has even won the Valley championship in outdoor track. Coach Huff has developed some good material and expects most of his men back this year. The track team (ears to get little of the glory although) its members work exceptionally hard. Perhaps a little more support on the part of the student body would make winning an easier matter.
The athletic department has made excellent preparation for its activities this year. It has had the foundation but the most of the real effort for the success of school athletics depends after all, on the students. The best coaches and equipment in the world are helpless without the active interest and support of the student body
