THE FRESHMAN HONOR LIST
The Dean's honor list will be pub-
lished within a month. This roll contains the names of approximately meneat
of the freshmen enrolled in the College, who have the highest scholastic standing.
Many freshmen have the opinion that this list is a rather humorous, meaningless institution, and that there is no significance in publishing these names. But they are mistaken in this, as a deep meaning underlies the whole idea.
A freshman, it is true, has many things to learn and accustom himself so, and it takes genuine ability to make a place on this list. It is no slight honor to be among the best one-third of the freshman class.
The students who show exceptional ability during their first year at the University are the ones who generally become the leaders in various school activities; but the first year people who do not find their names on the honor list need feel no discourage, as many Kansans have made places for themselves without having received honorable mention in the University in any manner. Nevertheless, the honor list is a sort of handwriting on the wall which needs no interpretation.
If students were aware of the small amount of credulity their excesses gain from their professors, they would economize on wasted efforts and stop ranking them.
THE CHALLENGER
War, with its bloody battles and its white-hat patriotism, has been the theme of many a poet's defiant song and orator's fiery challenge. In the volumes of history we have recorded the appeal of Leonidas to his valiant Spartans, the inspiring speeches of Caesar to his stalwart legions, the soul-stirring challenge of Joan of Arc, and the burning defy of our own Patrick Henry in the war of independence.
Always, in any big undertaking,
any epocal movement, the call to
arms has been sounded by some man
of commanding personality. And
always, such projects have succeeded.
In a few days, K. U. students will have in their midst a man who will fling forth a challenge just as fearlessly, and just as commandingly, as did the men and women of old. And the challenge will be for a combat, a crisis, just as real and just as important in its way, as faced the men of those historic periods.
Sherwood Eddy is the modern Patrick Henry of the scholarly religious field He comes to us from other universities, from other countries, well versed on international affairs, seeing clearly the problems, and pointing the way to their solution. And in pointing the way, he will, incidently, challenge
the best manhood and womanhood of the University of Kansas.
To accept this challenge, and in the weeks that follow carry it through to a glorious conclusion will be the acid test. They will come the opportunity to show our true colors, and dig in 'for all we have and are.' K. U. students are equal to the challenge. Let them prove it.
The latest dance is the "Futurist." If it is as impudent as the rest of the Futurist productions, it should escape the censor.
"PERFECT UNDERSTANDING
INGS"
"It is not beauty I demand,
A crystal brow, the moon's desnair.
Nor the snow's daughter, a white hand,
Nor mermaid's yellow pride of hair."
And had Carew, for it he was who sonned the above, read the "Kansan" if a few nights ago, he might have one on with something like this:
"Nor feet of alabaster white,
With perfect shape, true art's delight."
For it was said, and right in the headlines, too, that there is only one girl in the whole University who walks on perfect feet. We wonder how it feels.
The explanation given was that she was barefooted during her childhood, and that she is the daughter of a missionary. This makes a strong plea for foreign missions, but we won't dirress.
Just think, fourteen hundred and ninety-neine ko-eeds wasking around this campus every day on imperfect feet! That makes two thousand, nine hundred and ninety-neight imperfect feet out of a possible three thousand, Horrors, what a record.
The article was right—the statement is truly distressing. But what do the rest of us care about some one else's feet? What are imperfect feet that we should be distressed about them—unless they happen to be our own?
We were wrong. It was more idle fancy to say that "the statement is truly distressing." It is not. We wouldn't care if the whole world had imperfect feet, any more than we care about fourteen hundred and ninety-nine right here on our own campus.
Where, for instance, is the comparison between a girl's pretty face and her imperfect feet? What does John worry about Mary's imperfect feet as long as she can dance on them? What girl worries about her imperfect feet as long as she can wear a three and a half B?
Or we might, with Pope, put it thus:
Some figures monstrous and misshaped appear.
Considered singly, or beheld too near:
Which but proportioned to their light or place,
Due distance reconciles to form and grace."
THE QUITTER
A recitation a day will keep "protection" away.
are accomplishing all they would have you believe. To try and fail is magnificent compared with the one who tries and guits.
Quitting may become a habit, and a deadly habit if allowed to be carried too far. Quitting is catching. Those with whom you associate may become imbued with the same spirit which you manifest in saying "Well I guess I'll quit. I've done enough." for unless you have done enough you have quit. Nobody loves a quitter, and yet some can camouflage their quitting so adroitly that every one may think they
Did you ever really stop to think how easy it is to it quit? Anybody can quit. It is only the best that can see a thing through. There may be reasons why it is a good thing to quit sometimes but unless there are valid reasons for stopping, laying off or est-poning a job, it is the weakest and the easiest thing to quit.
it requires no brains to throw down a job, which you have begun. That is the easiest thing to do. On the other hand, it requires character and amunita to persist against odds.
sustaining courage to endure, avoiding the fight, and letting others do your work will get you no place. The man who reaps the reward is the one who, though falling, will keep going and try again.
Refuse to surrender. Do not say "I can't get by in that course," or "I'll drop that course." Say "It can be done," and try again.
HOW DID YOU GET THERE?
Not "where did you get" but "how did you get there" should be the question, college students ask themselves. Too many men and women feel that if they reach the goal ahead, they have achieved success, regardless of the manner in which they have accumulated this end.
means in their efforts to gain success, they have lost far more than they have gained.
College days are the very days when character is being more firmly established. If students use dishonorable means in their efforts to gain some
Edmund Vance Cooke's little poem entitled "How Did You Die?" expresses this sentiment in a very impressive manner. Surely it is true, as he says, that "It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts; it's how did you die."
This little bit of sound philosophy should be put into practice by everyone. And there is no place where it

should be practiced more profoundly than in a university.
Editor. Daily Kansart
Is not the University of Kansas falling down on the very phase of development of which the students have most need?
I protest the stifling of initiative which is being done in every possible way at this institution. This is most noticeable, according to a student who attended this University sometime ago, returning this year. The regulations and restrictions of the university remind one of a prep school.
The dance reform is making a mountain out of a mole-hill. I have yet to hear a student, who upholds seriously the newer styles of dancing, yet it has been found necessary to adopt stern, Puritanical measures, using much publicity to throw out of Lawrences dances which would have been forgotten by the students before Easter, had not opposition be made in things to be desired. In other words students of the University object to preventative measures used in public dance halls of the cities.
The attitude of the University governing organizations to the student body in this matter is worse than an assault. It is degrading for them.
versity authorities, the only means of forcing students to stop immodest dances.

ALUMNI NOTES
The greatest single item, for which I am attending this institution, is to develop my initiative and to develop my ability to think for myself. I do not think that members of the faculty are安全guardians for young people outside the room but that they are facing more than picking at some nimbule until it becomes a bloom. Siffre, forbid, prohibit freedom of action and opinion here and I feel that my time has been wasted.

TREATMENT FOR ADDRESS
A bore invades "the house of a Jap chef" ("he's the kitchen, turns the broom upside down, puts a towel over it and fans it lustily," in confidence that the pest will soon depart.
TREATMENT FOR BORES
When a bore drops into an American home a series of polite lies is born. The unhappy host radiates a deception dissimilation and bunk uprooting its house, passes the lapes into profane thoughts. -Chicago Journal of Commerce.
