The Daily Kawaami aims to picture the undergraduate student in jeopardy to just another merely prying the news by standing for the ideals of the school; to be clear to be heathertable; to be intimate to be honest; to more serious problems to spacer heads; to involve more students in university life; to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 50, 1923
In urging that the U. S. return "to the principles guiding America, during the Great War," and at the same time opening his campaign for the presidential nomination, Oscar Underwidow evidently refers to the rebuemement of the party budget; "Give it until it hurts."
THE CAMPUS KICKS
Considerable kicking on the performance of the K. U. football team, growing largely out of the showing it made Saturday against the Agrigues, is going on among the students.
The campus has little cause to complain. This, for several reasons:
The Kansas Agnies have, on the statement of leading sport writers, the best team they have ever had. With Stork, Axiline, Clements, and Swartz—all veterans of several years' experience on the gridion in the backfield, the State College has an offensive machine which rivals, if not does actually surpass, that of any other member of the Missouri Valley Conference.
The *Aggies'* line, too, compares favorably with the best in the conference. It is no idle boast of theirs when they assert that they will defeat Nebraska.
Consider the Jayhawk team. Coach Clark had, for the most part, a squad of "green" men with which to start the season this fall. His offensive men left school last spring, leaving on his hands the problem of building up an offensive which could cope with the veteran defenses of the other Valley elevers. In the defense, the Kansas coach faced the same problem. Out of the entire football squad of more than fifty men, Clark had only four who actually could be called veterans.
That is not saying that Kansas has not a wealth of grid material this year. It has. But it is green. One has to go easy when he starts to put a colt in harness.
Clark has done well, if the University is to judge by the team's performance at Nebraska. He deserves more credit than he is getting. Those unsequenced with football tactics do not realize that the first principle observed in the unbuilding of an eleven is that a good defense must be created before the development of an offense can be considered.
This constitutes only part of the story of the 1923 Kannas football team. Other parts will appear in succeeding issues of the Kansan.
It will notice now to say that there must be less grumbling about the team if Kansas hopes to make a commendable showing this season. The attitude of the student body toward its athletes is reflected in those athletes, on the statement of one of the best coaches in the Valley Conference. It is incumbent upon the individual student to boost, not knock.
Just criticism of a team is constructive; unjust criticism is destructive. The campus has been passing around the cabbage too much since Saturday. Let's get behind and push.

and flees." Only a coward will strike a flee.
a flea.
There seem to be almost as many castes among different foods as there are among the people of India.
Now and then the lowly cabbage comes forth on modern dinner tables disguised as "slaw" or "au" or a something or other; but real old Dutch sausekraut—never.
PLEREIAN FOOD
One is often inclined to believe that taste is a matter of sensory stimulus on little spots on the tongue. Physiologists tell us that. But it isn't usually. It is a matter of fashion.
Cabbage and wieners are "positively repulsive" to certain civilized persons whose ancestors might have consid red such a change from their everyday diet of leaves and raw meat in food for the gods.
And what has become of the lovely noddie which so delighted comic movie fans a few years ago. Perhaps it was the movies that drove it out of American homes in all its yardage and its difficulty of manipulation.
One scores plebeian food—until it is covered officially when him no one is looking. Then he is not to revolve in a good old stalk and onions.
Any man can lie to a woman but it takes an unusually clever one to make her believe what he says.
WHERE CHEERING BEGINS
Students were confronted Saturday with the spectacle of the visiting deligation of rosters out-cheering the home people.
Probably there was as much enthusiasm in the east side of the Stadium as there was on the west; certainly there was less expression of it. It was not the fault of the cheerleaders; they did everything in their power to produce the noise. Nor was it entirely the fault of the crowd, for student rooters were scattered among townseats and visitors, making it impossible for them to get together.
Why do we not have a rooters' section, reserved for the lusty-lumbed? Such a section could co-operate with the hard-working cie readers to lend the entire body of spectators in encouragement to the team.
In justice to the team and to the school which it represents, there should be an organized effort to produce better cheering.
The best excellenis in the world are to be found among the ranks of the flankers.
"ORPHAN" LIQUOP
*ORPHAN LIQUOR*
What becomes of the "orphan" liquor—that whose former owners have been tried, or which is no longer needed in the prosecution of cases?
The W. C, T. U., in convention at leavenworth, asked the chief of police to let them have the court supply of "erphan" liquor to smash on the movement during their narade.
Imagine the tread of feminine feet coming down the street, interspersed at frequent intervals by the crash of glass on stone and the subsequent disgung of the pungent odor of former national beverages, ex-communicated by the eighteenth amendment. Imagine the sights and groans that would come from the hearts of many cloakers, and the memories that would fit through many minds of the "good o' days" before a brass and mahogany counter where the welcome word was "set or 'er up."
Yet, after all, most orphans are adopted by the women. Why not let the W. C. T. U. adopt the liorar, orphaned when Senator Volastead put the skids under old John Barleycorn?
"Fog Holds Up the City" reads a Star headline. We all know "Fog" is an important figure, but this seems to insinuate that he is either a bandit or a Hercules.
Campus Opinion
No longer does the Kanan ksun court the reporterial muse with the aid of a formidable smoke screen. It seems remarkable, but it's so. In the good old days which some are want to look back upon with longing,

A request for pure attention had been used as the action of a lunatic and treated accordingly. Supply that situation does not now exist.

dents. This bubbling over of the spirit of fun may reult in some damage but more often it rends a wound and other harmless type of amusement.
The damage which is done has caused the various authorities to take steps toward curbing the spontaneous joy of the collegiate folk. The damage, by itself, warrants such action but the usual result is that many students have been left away when these privileges were not the cause of the damage
Traditions result from the often repeated action of a student body while on the campus. A college without traditions might as well cease its attempt to be an educational institution. Each freshman, as he enters the collegiate life, expects to find a girl who will affect almost everything he does. On Mount Oread most freshmen are disappointed.
Instead of prohibiting any spontanity which would further the building and forming of traditions we suffer many restrictions. In some cases they are deserved but more often they are thrust out for

Oklahoma Game
For Two Bits
Oklahoma U. defeated Oklahoma A. & M. by a larger score than K. U. did and Oklahoma will be on its own hot dusty field next Saturday. It looks like the hardest game of the season. You can see it all play by play on the Grid Graph for a quarter.
The Nebraska game was a thriller on the Grid Graph. Time and again the crowd rose to cheer and throw their hats in the air as Kansas men broke up Nebraska plays and threw the Cornhuskers for losses.
Every word on the Grid Graph can be seen distinctly at the rear of the Gym.
