Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone--K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kannon aims to picture the undergraduate student further than merely provide the word by standing for the ideals that are being taught in this course. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be able to work with others; to be more serious problems to junior hands; to be more proficient in their ability to the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1923
"Twenty more shopping days 'till Christmas." Just three more weeks in which to "fake" up a quarrel.
FOOTBALL AND FRIENDSHIP
The time honored football game between the Kansas Aggies and the Kansas Jayhawkers may be discontinued as a result of charges made by Aggie officials to the effect that the no-score game between the sister schools at Lawrence, Oct. 27, was marred by rough and dirty playing on the part of the Jayhawkers.
In the eyes of the officials of that game there were no rough and dirty plays beyond the usual roughness of any football event. Letters to this effect have been signed by these officials.
Whether or not this severance of football relations will be a good thing can be decided only within the course of several years. It may well be believed that it is the proper thing to do, for if two sister institutions cannot be friendly enemies in athletics it is better that they do not compete in such events. At least that is the belief of Dr. F. C. Allen, athletic director of the University, who conferred recently upon the situation with Mike F. Ahearn, athletic director of the Aggie school. Allen states that he would not send a K. U. athletic team against an Aggie team with the sentiment they have expressed existing.
The charges made by the Aggie officials have been presented by the K. U. athletic association and it has been put up to the Kansas Aggies to decide the future athletic relations between the two state schools.
Lawrence some years ago abandoned the annual football game between the mighty Haskell Indians and the Jayhawkers. The dividing of the city in football spirit did not prove successful and it has been found that in the last few years the city has given its undivided support to both teams throughout the football season.
Might it not be possible that the division of a state in athletic support is more detrimental than beneficial? When the Jayhawkers play, let the whole state be in their support, and when the Aggies play, let the whole state pull for K. S. A. C.
But let it be remembered that the Kansas Jayhawkers do not play rough and dirty football to uphold the Crimson and Blue in Valley supremacy.
Some seals are sold to fight tuberculosis among the poor; others to gratify the vanity of women of wealth.
BE PATRIOTIC-AND BE INFORMED
There are just two musical compositions played on this Hill, upon the hearing of which a person may be expected to rise. One is "The Star Spangled Banner," the other "The Crimson and the Blue."
The tradition of the latter is known and observed throughout all Jayhawk- erdom.
The tradition of "The Star Sungled Banner" is not so well known. Monday night during the presentation of "The Devil's Disciplice" University students rose when the orchestra played a few bars of "My
Country "Tis of Thee" and sat down, laughing a moment later when the music stopped.
The spirit which prompted them to rise when they confused the hymn with the national anthem is commendable, but the carelessness or ignorance which must account for such a breach is deplorable.
Traditions lend dignity to any in situation; reverence for those traditions and a knowledge of the proper observance of them may rightly be expected from every adult American.
The Red Cross did not pass out of existence at the end of the war. Its organization is still fighting sickness, disease, poverty and a hundred and one other enemies of civilization.
There are few more worthy causes than the annual sale of Christmas seals now being conducted throughout the country. The returns from the sales are to be used by this organization in the fight against tuberculosis.
"Will check up on amugging!" reads a headline. Now the question is, will the checks be of great or small denominations?
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Investment in these seals requires only a small sum. Even the poorest may have a part in making up a fund which for the last fifteen years has greatly aided in the saving of human life—relieving sufferers and fighting the physical woe of so many persons. The penny seal speaks eloquently of the power of small things when they are gathered together and applied in the mass.
The student who invests a dime, nickel or penny in a Red Cross seal makes a direct contribution toward the saving of human life.
Christmas seals stand for better living conditions. The readiness of the public to buy should be increased this year in order that the excellent work made possible through their sales may not be curtailed, but extended everywhere.
The winter is upon us and many people are without means of support. It's a case of "dig up agin"; a hard thing to do since none of us is exactly "flush". But there are some who are vastly worse off than we are.
It was a progressive bloo that started the battle in congress. Now we suppose everyone will have to pick up their blocks and not play any more.
A LONG NEEDED CHANGE
It is pleasing to know that the athletic department of the University is advocating a change in the date of the annual Jayhawker-Tiger football game to the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving. The University is negotiating with the University of Missouri concerning this change; and according to Dr. F. C. Allen, the feeling at Missouri is much the same as it is here.
The changing of the date has been under consideration for three years with too much indifference and it is due time that it be carried out. Such a schedule would provide convenience for the players and students of either school.
Thanksgiving is a day of prayer and quietness and should not be made a time of hilarious football glee, but should be observed in a more peaceful manner.
With the annual football game coming on Saturday, the regular Thanksgiving excursion would begin on Wednesday and the students would have ample time to return to their homes for Thanksgiving; it would not be a choice between staying to the game, and eating a big turkey dinner at home. The players, too, would be out of training and could enjoy the satisfaction of a bountiful feast.
It is the belief of the athletic officials that the Saturday game would draw just as many out-of-town spectators as the Turkey day game.
A time honored and seasoned tradition may disappear but it will be for the best.
There will always be beoes enough on earth to believe in the old illusion —two can live cheaper than one.

TESTS
"The darkest chapter of world history is open," says Christophel Pankhurst, noted militant suffragist, who has lately become a preacher of the gospel. "The sky never again will be lighted by the stars of illusion. That was a happy foolish phrase,' a war to end wars.' The sun has never shone since that war."
Darkness, sorrow, and trouble have been the tests of character for individuals through the ages. Many have come out of these trials strong, sane, and beautiful—others have not been able to withstand them and have been left in the rear. Cannot these tests be applied to nations as well as to individuals?
Plain Tales From The Hill
We understand that *π*'departmental head has been put on a "beef diet." In the words of Roosevelt, he certainly ought to be "feeling bully."
Paris decrees short skirts again for spring. It will no doubt mean the advancement of womankind by far greater strides.
The antiquated hearse resting dejectedly on the site of the Union building is a whit incongruous with the idea of the thing. The Memorial project is far from being a dead issue.
The jump from the Nile to the Volgen as the germination headquarters for women's styles is quite evident even in hosiery designs. "Russian for Rushin'", gleefully pipes Phylis Phhpper.
Professor Dunlap says "Book lover cares for real contents instead of binding." Once in a while this book is called the *Literary Lotharios* as well as the literary Lotharios.
A down-town drug store advertises a shampoo demonstration for the coming week-end. Ought to be a hair-raising spectacle.
On Other Uills
Expulsion from the University of Michigan is the result to one student who disregarded the ruling of a school that allowed to keep automobiles while at school. The idea of prohibiting students from keeping cars while at school has spread to several of the schools in the state of Missouri and Texas have the ruling.
Columbia University has been presented with a painting of Copernicus by the noted Polish artist, W. T. Benda. The painting is a personal gift from the artist to the University.
The alumni association of the University of Michigan has proposed a plan to the student council and representatives of the varsity band for the purpose of advocating a permanent fund for band trips. The proposed endowment fund is to be raised
