The Daily Kansaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely picturing the news by standing for the rights and values of students oraries; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all to serve the best of its ability.

NOVEMBER—FALL O' THE YEAR
Just as life is slipping out of her fingers, the earth, swooning in sleep, arouses for a little and remembers that it is the privilege of the divine to die lovely.
So she cali for her most glorious garments. at her bidding the long, training, blue mista drift down from the clouds and hover over woods and river; the vargent winds become noiseless bearers of tingling perfumes, scents of chrysanthemum, and acrid odors of wood smoke; and the sharp, little airs of autumn come in the night on cat feet and tip the trees with flame.
All the creatures of the earth hear her call and haste to her bidding. The little woodspeople put on their finest furs and feathers, and the few belated insects hiding in the tarnished leaves sing bravely.
Just so, at last, the earth is ready for the feast of fulfilment, from which she goes out to meet winter and death with a purple veil about her shoulders and a painted leaf in her hair.
Question:—Who stole the keys to everybody's cellar in Kansas City yesterday?
DO YOU WRESTLE OR BOX?
Do you pack a wicked punch in your left, or understand the science of applying the half-net?
If so, you're the man they want in the boxing-wrestling clubs recently organized in the athletic department.
A real be-man shouldn't mind a little thing like a black eye, a bloody nose or body bruises, say those who know. They are merely a part of the enjoyment to be found in these ancient sports.
Being knocked out, so they say, really affords a delightful novel sensation.
Something akin to the separation of the soul from the body, no doubt. But be that as it may and despite sundry contusions and disgrigations incident to participation in the noble art of self-defense, the fact remains that the introduction of these sports as a part of K. U. athletics is a good thing.
There are plenty of other schools who are ready to send a team against ours. Ames stands ready to invade with a squad of wrestlers and pugilistic artists, and no doubt dates can easily be secured with other neighboring schools.
Many people look on boxing and wrestling as commercialized forms of brutality. Yet what is the difference between a black eye received while boxing and one received while pinyin a football game? They both hurt to the same degree and both go away as quickly.
The boxing and wrestling clubs plan to have a tournament sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But they need more men. If good teams are to be produced a large number of candidates must get out and train for the tournament.
And the best feature of the whole tournament plan is that great numbers of men will secure the physical exercise they need so sorryly after their sophomore year. One of the criticisms of college athletics is the limited number of men who can benefit from its rigid training. A far greater number can be handled in the training for the coming tournament than can be accommodated in tryouts for the football and basketball squads. So come on, men! Let's out and see how we can handle our good right arms, and also our heads in clever strategy.
INTRODUCING MR. MeCONN
And new another master of irony has mercilessly flayed our academic system through the pages of The New Republic.
Max McConn, this latest commentator, could build upon the ruins he makes of the old system a new one that would challenge the most far-sighted educator among his contemporaries. But instead he chooses to ridicule it with all the abandon of a temperamental school boy.
"Bachelor of Arts; what is it?" So reads the caption of his most entertaining bit of ruthless icocleanism, according to him, it isn't much. Perhaps it's really not, after all. But then it's hard to distill a happily misguided race, especially when one reads what Mr. McConn has to offer as a substitute.
The choicest gem of the whole dissertation is where the writer hints that the average instructor does not devote enough time to the consideration of the individual. Perhaps he is right. Why, for one hundred and seventy-five dollars a month, the average
- zogue could surely spare fifteen or twenty hours a week to an exhaustive psycho-analysis of his two or three hundred eager students.
Some one else might be persuaded to father the professor's own children for him. And if he has exercised any care or fore-thought in choosing a mate, she would only be to glad to mow the lawn and run occasional errands, in addition to her minor duties as wife and mother.
But seriously, the question seems a bit large in its scope. What does the terms Bachelor of Arts mean, anyway?
At four or five years of age, we are iconoclastic—bolsevistic at nineteen. In due time, kind Providence seasons our criticisms with good, common sense. At twenty-three we hesitate to tear at the foundations of the educational system with our bare hands. But at fifty-three—who knows? Perhaps at fifty-three, we shall have some new plaything.
A suggestion has been made that the Band walk to Oklahoma, Saturday. They will be in ideal trim, after their seven-mile jaunt in the city yesterday.

The University of Nevada's "N" on the mountains north of Reno, was given its annual coat of whitewash by the freshman class. The "N" is one of the largest letters of this kind in the United States, measuring fifty feet in height and 140 feet in breadth. It is geometrically perfect and is one of the first things that the traveler notices upon entering the Truckee Valley.

The sophomores of Western University Reserve, Cleveland, have been having a great time having freshmen girls. A court is held in the small hours of the night, both of course, the culpits are invariably guilty. "Dance like a dying angelworm in four segments"; "Struggle with temptation;" and "Develop like a film."
Imagine carrying sixteen hours of work in the University and never opening a book.
Bert A. Johnson is registered in the arts school and attends all the classes and lectures given in this courses. He takes lectures notes by the New York point system, which he says is far more tedious than long written assignments. He sits him by his room-mate, who receives his board and room for this service.-Silver & Gold, Boulder, Colo.
George A. Bell, of Monterey, N. L., Mexico, has written for a year's subscription to The Kanman.

Josephine Nelson, A.B.21, is spending a month in Lawrence, visiting her mother, Mrs. Ida M. Nelson. Since her graduation, she has been a reporter on the news station KKTV. She lives in Orlando, and is on her way to a new position in California.
Gladys Nelson Smith, A.B.178, who has been visiting her mother in Lawrence for some time, left today for her home in Minneapolis, Kan. During her stay she has done some special art and portrait work on the Hill.

"We here in the east are looking forward to a visit from Chancellor Lindley soon, at which time we will do our bit toward the Stadium and Union buildings. Glad to hear and read of the new spirit, but sorry to hear of the Drake defeat. Am able to learn the K. U. football scores Saturday evenings.
"If you'll only twist the Tiger's tail," we'll excuse any other deficits you might have, and judging from the Agie-Missouri score, it looks like WE have a good chance to start the Stadium off properly."
Oswald says when he first came to Lawrence the pokie sidewalk wilt hurt his feet and the dwotted street corner was torn up.
Frank Sterns, LLB, '14, of Hiwatha, Kansas has inhaled in county politics since leaving the University. He was elected clerk of the district court of Brown county in 1914, and when his term expired in 1916, he ran again and was re-elected. When the war came, Sterns appointed his sister, Minniehua Sterns, as a surgeon at the 17th Ammunition train, of the 42d Division. While in France he was elected to office the third time, and held the office until 1920. At present Mr. Sterns is agent in Brown county for the Studebaker motor car.
Oswald says 'he saw a chap this morning who sported a wild west campeau and also carried a cane. Oswald is now wondering whether it was a cross beast an engineer and a law that he saw, or just what it was.
Why the city of Lawrence should let it’s beauty and progress be marred by two or three remediable defects is a puzzle. The condition of the telephone service hans, to a certain degree, been explained, but what about the lighting system? It is indeed unusual for towns considerably smaller, even, than Lawrence to be so poorly lighted, while in places larger the lack of lighting found here would not be tolerated.
Student Opinion
Editor, the "Kansan;"
The unusually long blocks running north and south make a light at each end entirely inadequate, the most of every block being so dark as to keep a great many women, out alone in the evening, very unseasy. Such women are usually very well protected, very probably have been prevented, in some cases at least, if there had not been as many unlightened stretches of sidewalk, were—and are. In the greater part of practically any "long block" a person may stand beside a tree of reasonable size and not be seen until aorest then he is within a couple of feet of the树.
A year or two ago a group of four University women crossing South Park after having attended the theatre, were surprised by a man who knocked one of them down, snatching away her pocket book and disappeared. To have streets dark with houses close by is bad enough, but certainly it is a great deal worse to be knocked out as is South Park, so dark that one included to molest can slip up underserved and spring a surprise.
Is not now the opportune and important time to improve on the lighting system, since people are beginning to desert the front porch for the fireplace, thus withdrawing the last protection of summer days from those who must be on the street at night, as so many students must who have library courses?
Lawrence's civic pride has prompted her to accomplish so many big and worthwhile undertakings that her faux lighting system seems very unworthy of her. As a result, she will way clear to give the matter practical attention soon.
Ten fraternities at Ohio State University chartered special cars as a means of transportation to the Michigan-Ohio State football game at Ann Arbor. Each special car was the scene of much hilarity on the trip as each fraternity took its share of musical instruments, food, and fun. The students and the Beta elites elevated the occasion with a Victoria.
The Ohio State Lantern reports that the most important and popular passenger on the train was Jazz Bo, the Phil Gam's pet monkey who more than paid his fare by entertaining the crowd with his antics.
Every fraternity also boasted of at least two automobiles that were Michigan bound, and some even as high as five cars. All the machines bore the Scarlet and Gray colors to some degree, but in a few instances the vehicle of an alumni was spent in decorating the automobiles to the highest degree of elaborativeness, according to the Lantern.
The University of Minnesota R. O. T. C. appoints its cadet officers only after a written and then a practical examination. Unusually large numbers are contasting for positions this year.
