The Daily Kansan aims to picnic on the campus of the University of Kansas to go forward by standing for the idea of education to be clear, to be clearer to be cleverer to be cleverer to be cleverer to be cleverer to be cleverer in all to achieve the students of the University.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1921.
A cynical student has advised that all coats with bobbied hair should be on their guard, as the warm weather is sure to bring out the squirrels.
THE LAST GAME
It was a hard game to lose, that last one with the Aggies. Probably no cowd ever assembled in Robinson gym rooted so long and earnestly for the home team to continue the swift pace and make the few baskets that were approaching defeat into victory.
But victory was destined not to be ours. It was Kanaan's turn to take the loser's end of a score that was nerve-tracking in its closeness.
It would have been hard for any crowd to keep in leash, subordinate to the sense of fair play and good sportmanship, that fierce animal desire to win, which ran rampant among both players and spectators during the entire contest. And it is not surprising that in a few instances some of the more fiddle fanatic of the roots forget themselves, and even though warned by Coach Allen, showed distinctly unportmanlike conduct toward the referee and the striker players.
Kansas fans are loyal to the nth degree. The team that fought Saturday night with the grim determination to make amends for the dissatisfaction showing in the first game was backed man to man by every Kansas rooter.
One of the greatest thrills of joy a student can receive comes to him when he finds that he has passed a course when he thought otherwise.
It is a lamentable fact that conduct of a very small minority of the students of the University can be construed to be characteristic of the whole body. Judging from the conduct of a few students at the last Varsity dance in their open disrespect to the chaparron of the function, it is very easy to form the opinion that the students of the University are openly ridiculing the recommendations of the Chancellor and the student governing bodies and Advisory Assembly.
THE MANY OR THE FEW
The last Varsity dance has occasioned more comment than any one recent occurrence at the University, and most of it has been severe criticism of who openly decide the recommendations recently made in regard to the dance on the Hill. This is conclusive evidence that the sentiment of the student-body as a whole is solidly behind its representatives and their acts.
A few members of the student body may feel that their personal rights are being taken away in deyting what is to them a harmless amusement, yet they seem to overlook the fact that those who have had opportunity to study the question from state and national scope strongly
arge the contemplated reforms. Their opinion and recommendation should carry weight that cannot be overbalanced by mere personal views on the subject. The world is not going to the bad or right losing out in the struggle between good and evil, but it is necessary to curb certain tendencies which spring up and prepare the way for influences prejudicial to the best in life.
the student who cannot make himself subservient to his own desires should be barred from participation in all school parties, because he casts a shadow over the actions of the whole University. Life is not all seriousness, but law and order have come down since time immemorial and custom had decided what shall and shall not be done. We cannot scrap the whole machinery of government and throw it into the discard because a fraction of the students, standing on their own ground, believe that they can lightly defy it. The time for action has arrived. The next Varsity dance should be what is desired by the majority of the students, or there should be no next Varsity dance.
It is true that those F's on a student's transcript look bad. Yet, anyone with an artistic eye must admit that they add a touch of color to the record.
"ALABI-E-TIS"
Many students today are victims unknowingly, of a disease which is a close partner to dementia prexec, against which Chancellor Lindley warned the students last fall. This co-partner to dementia prexec is "ablative-tis" A writer in a recent magazine describes this malady as "failure's apology for the lack of performance that honest effort would have achieved." In order, words, "ablative-tis" is that which the flunker and slacker resorts to, in an attempt to live his own mood of the sort.
to relieve his own mind of the sense of failure
When thus understood, it is not evident that there are many students about any institution who resort to such tactics, when the end of the semester comes, and their records show evidence of the red mark? Perhaps, in the mind of the student, it was the instructor's fault that the work was not understood. Or the instructor held a grudge against the inflicted student. Or the course was not what the student expected it to be. These or other reasons are often given as the cause for failure, or a poor quality of work in many students' courses.
But the trouble is not with the in structurer, or the course, or the weather or anything else of the kind. The main source of trouble is with the student himself. He is victim of a common malady in every line of human endeavor, the tendency to blame failure on anything but the right thing. It brings mental relief to the individual inflicted, it eases the patients conscience. But it also leads on into the repetition of other failures, until the poor being is a chronic grumbler, with a touch of alabic-tis in everything he does.
The best remedy for such alabic-tis is a stout determination to get down to business, and do one's work right. And now, at the beginning of the new semester, is the time for the student to begin ousting this common intruder. The student who "puts it off" until the finals come in May, is caught again, and must suffer the con
The metropolitan press says that there are two dark horses in President Harding's cabinet. The President should also know that a cabinet is a fine place to keep a little white mule.
When every student realize that the great difficulty in his college education is nothing else but himself alibi-tic will soon pass on.
THE WAR IN SONG
Those were stirring days, when our doughtheys departed, vina the Big Pond, for France and a whack at the Dutch. In the streets of New York, they marched briskly for their transports to the lively tunes of "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and the exemporaneous bellowings of "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here."
The throngs in the streets, watch-

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I always loathed the four walls of the room.
room. And the glad summer varying sun and
**gloom**
ravelled in.—I loved to sprawl in
And watch the footless wind-guits dip and peel.
And where the twinkling waters of the sea
and pass
In fields of wheat, on uplands bright
with bloom;
Washed outward into one immensity.
And then came thundering shoreward

As if they fled in terror from the Lord
I raced the sands in naked ecstasy.
ing them file past, roared "We're Going Over," and while others doubts whistled "We're Going to Take The Germ Out of Germany." The junior John Jacobs Astor sang, with thousands of other buck privates, "Goodbye Broadway, Hello, France," and left the pier in smiles while their brave little sweetharts murmured soulfully "If He Can Fight Like He Love, It's Goodbye Germany."
And the boys were gone, with the millions at home still singing "Over There," and putting fear into the hearts of the "hyphenateeds" in their midst with the stern admonition "Don't Bite the Hand That's Feeding You."
On the way over, it was, as ever,
"Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the
Morning," with an occasional gustory
bellow about "We Don't Want
the Bacon; What We Are"
and always, among the buck private, raise the old saw about "The Sergeant, the
Sergeant, He is the Worst of All."
Arriving in France they would
"Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile," during the hard matches to the front lines. Better training periods preceding the long "Keep Your Head Down, Fritile Boy" for the Sammies are coming.
Out in the trenches there was neither time nor desire for singing. Of course, every morning brought the opportunity to say "Good Morning, Mr.Zip, Zip, Zip." but the romance ended. Back of the lines, however, they sang. Best of all were the old tunes, "Old Kentucky Home," "Swance Ribber," and the like. And then, in "The Evening by the Moonlight" they sang "Carry Me Back to Ol Virginity," and "Loves My Owl Sweet Song," and "My Bonnie," and "Honey," and all the rest of the good old sentimental melodies.
In the base hospitals, with chic smiling nurses taking care of them hundreds of moon-struck, as well as shell-struck, Sammies walked "I Don't Want to Get Well."
All this time, back home in God's country, mother, sisters and young brothers and sisters were patiently "Keeping the Home Fires Burning" until "the boys come home." And when they did back he it was "Oh Johnny, Oh Johney he it was Around" for the sweethearts, while the return buck private himself joyfully fouled forth about "I've Got My Captain Working For Me Now."
Over-study is often ruinous to the health, but under-study often causes a student to leave school talking to himself.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Once upon a time, in the far distan-
past an organization in the Sophomore class of the University was organized for the purpose of acting as a mouth piece of that class. It stood for better fellowship among its member, it encouraged and perpetuated values, and it Mater. This organization was known as the Black Helmets, and it fulfilled its purpose.
Campus Opinions
But in the meantime it gained the emunity of certain persons, of certain organizations because they at no time could control the destines of this society, because they fancied they were injured politically.
ety, and these men, he can see a plan or scheme laid and executed to drive the organization from the Hill. The writer at least thinks so, though he has never been a member of the or-deration, and is not at the present time.
And now the society is to go. But if one is impartial, either to the soci-
Here are the facts laid down. The Black Helmets gave a dance; two tickets were issued to each member, and it is claimed that each man sold them. But it has not been stated that four days before the party, they were notified that they could not give an All-University party, which had been, the custom before the Reformers came into power. Up to this no graff and ever been laid at the door of the reformers this year of their F. A. U. Hall, they were notified that such a party could not be given. So invitations were issued, which stated for "Members and guests only."
Some members saw a chance to get out from under the expense and sold these invitations. It has not been stated that all of them did. Some of them did. Now these members being discovered by the ferrets of the Hill, the organization must be disbanded, which has long stood as one of the institutions of the University. Have it been for the best, it has lacked athletes to the limit, as few other organizations have.
There is a question, and I speak merely as a member of the student body, whether or not a great move has been made by certain far seeing gentlemen to remove what they termed "a thorn" from their side, which will endear them to their friends and friends alone.
Respectfully. Interested.
