WE'RE BACK OF YOU!
Kansas lost her first Conference football game of the seaso to Drake Saturday in the last quarter of play. During the first half of the game the Jayhawks exhibited a determination and fight that won them a place in the hearts of all who were present. The last quarter shook but did not shatter this confidence.
It is not for the University of Kansas to offer excuses. The Drake agregation deserves credit for out playing a team that they have defeated only once since their first gridiron contest between the two schools ten years ago. Kansas was determined to win; Drake was more determined. This brings us back to the fundamental spirit that a team must have to win. Over-confidence or weakening in purpose are disastrous to individuals as well as to teams.
If the Kansas team will fight from the first kick-off until the last whistle against the team that baffled Missouri last Saturday for half of the game, they have the greatest chance in the world of baffling them for the entire four quarters of play. Lets go Kan sa!
This first defeat should arouse in the Kansas team the spirit that never dies. Next Saturday they will redeem themselves by being the team in the game that never gives up or quits for an instant. A fighting team may be beaten, but beaten ganny. This is the spirit that the Kansas men must take to Ames Saturday.'
COMMONS NOT CAFETERIA
It is becoming prevalent among the students to refer to the new University Commons as the Cafeteria. "Commons" is a term which has come to be applied to institutions of this sort as they are operated in universities and colleges. When Míse Barrum, director of the Commons, and Chancellor Lindley met to decide on the name for the new cafeteria, after much consideration they decided that "University Commons" was the term which best suited the new building.
When the legislature made the appropriation for this building, the administration decided that it should be a place that should be for the students and faculty while outsiders would always be welcome the wishes of the university people would be the controlling factor. So, since Commons is a term that is applied to just this type of institution, "University Commons" was decided upon as the name by which it should be called.
This name was decided upon for two reasons. For many years successive students bodies have campaigned for a place where all the students in the University could meet for daily get-to-gochers. This vision of the future they have always referred to as the "Commons."
The Chancellor and Miss Barnum are very anxious that the name shall
come into general use on the campus.
Why not help them out by giving them unified cooperation?
THE CHANCE FOR EXPRESSION
"Leave your copy for the Sour Owl at the Kansan Office" reads the huge sign board at the head of the campus. Next we are informed that the first Sour Owl of the season will be issued to the K. U-Aggie game. Such signs recall former issues of this junior magazine and expectations vary as to what the outcome will be this year.
In the past some of the issues have been good—good enough at least to justify their existence—as good, the editors say, as the material turned in by the student contributors. "Giving the public what it wants" is a big principle of journalism and the staff of any publication is governed by it. The spring issue of the Sour Owl last year was a most condemnable publication. It was an insult to the student body intelligence. The wide spread criticism it created, demonstrated that it was not the type of humor magazine that the students demanded. Yet the editors tell us that much of the material printed was from student contributions. They likewise add that much they refused to use came from the same source.
If we want a humor magazine that will represent us here and at other colleges, let us drop commendable copy into the contributor's box. The editors must have copy to publish the magazine but the kind of copy they receive depends on the students themselves.
LIBRARY SEMINARS
The reading seminars at the library close at twelve o'clock, and again at five, and do not open until seven. This arrangement is very inconvenient for most students.
Many lose entirely the half hour from twelve o'clock until twelve-thirty. Some have classes until four-thirty o'clock, and want to go to the library to do their work from then until six, so as to be able to go home and settle down quickly the rest of the evening to study.
As it now is the student gets only nicely started in the half hour remaining before five. Then he must go home only to get started on some other work until it is dinner time. He breaks into his evening work again by having to go to the library at seven. He spends a couple of hours or so then in concentrated work, only to home at nine or ninety- to finish the work which he left earlier in the evening.
This sort of an arrangement makes it impossible for the individual to have the smallest degree of continual in his work. The element of coherence is lacking entirely. He is not able to take up his work with any degree of uninterrupted thought until nine o'clock or later.
Some of the seminars do not open at all in the evening. This means that the student who has classes until fourth-three, unless he is able to check out the book he needs, is unable to do his library work at all unless it can be crowded in from fourth-thirty till five. Usually this is impossible.
These are only a few of the disadvantages of the present arrangement of things to say nothing of the extra trip which is necessary up and down the Hill. The seminars should have the same hours for opening and closing as the main reading room, and thereby prove a genuine help to the student and an efficiently operated aid to effective reading.
Plain Tales from the Hill

If you want a little side light on human nature, as is, were invisible Dean Butter into letting you read some of the letters that come to him with the request for concert seat reservations.
Give 'em The Best
Or Give 'em Nothing
It is remarkable to find that most people have set a very definite policy of self-determination for themselves, and the demand seven seat in the sevent row, or the fourth and fifth seats in row ten, without regard for the fact that they have already probably been assigned. By far the popular seats however are the first two, in the eighth row, on the left center aisle. Dean Butler has been asked three letters a day with the request for these two seats. One young man went so far as to demand these or none, with the result that he appeared in the office with his returned check and inquired with an injured air what mistake had been made.
Schools of Journalism Can Hope To Succeed only by Practical Instruction, Says Texas Head
Honulu, Oct. 17. "Schools of jounaisman can hope to see successful only when their courses are so made up and the instruction no practical and thorough as to meet the demands of managing editors upon whom usually fails the responsibility of selecting and maintaining the editorial staffs of their respective newspapers to the highest possible standing," said W. D. Hornady of the School of Journalism of the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, at the Press Conference of the World in Honolulu yesterday.
The subject of Mr. Hormnaday's address was "Education for Journalism in the United States." And he brought himself and themselves have disproved the theory that talent for newspaper writing and interest in the work is inborn talent, that an instructor in journalism develop the latent power of the student.
"Schools of journalism are the best places for students to begin their study of journalism. For the average newspaper is fine enough to nurture a dormant spark in news gathering and reporting is what schools of journalism should teach above all other things. In order to teach these skills, students should have had a wide practical experience in newspaper work," he said.
In a survey of the educational field made by M. Hornaday in so far as it relates to teaching journalism, the college has grown significantly the rapidly growing demand for instruction in newspaper writing a great many of the colleges and universities have in recent years established what is termed a journalism course, through this course we have little to do with practical journalism.
At present, there is no uniform admission requirements in the different schools. Even those that are given almost identical journal courses differ in prerequisite. There is a wide difference in the arrangement
of the courses of the different larger schools of journalism. This is also true of the curricula themselves. Mr. Hornaday believes that journalism can best be taught by practical instruction, the actual classroom and laboratory instruction, lectures by newspaper men should be given as a part of the regular courses. This is already true of many of the institutions, and notably the of the Joseph Mediell School of Journalism established at Northwestern University, Chicago. Schools of journalism that are situated in or near the larger cities of an especially fortunate position in this respect.
According to Mr. Hornaday, there is no longer room for doubt as to the important position which schools of journalism occupy in educational work. As a proof of this it may be pointed out that the demand of newsmen and women trained in these schools is greater than the supply.
The number of students registere last year in the schools of journalism, colleges and universities ranged from five to 373 each. The University of Kansas ranks fourth of those reported with an enrollment of 311.
"One of the greatest needs of newspaper men as a class is a wider knowledge of affairs at home and abroad. As a foundation for journalistic work a classical education is highly essential, and an understanding of editors that a knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology, medieval history, economics and foreign trade should by all means be a part of the college study of a student of journalism. In these times a knowledge of world geography and politics is absolutely necessary. Information contact of the resources, commerce and industries of his state, country and the world should be eternally sought both in and out of college by the newspaper man who hopes to obtain advancement and find real success in his work." Mr. Hornayad said.
