THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Freshmen Overrule Reasons Which Copy-Books Give as Incentives to College Life
When the train has chugged into the home town station exactly twenty-three minutes late, having been marked "on time," and the prospective K. U. Student has taken his grip, tuck, and person into a crowded hair car, it is time that he should consider seriously the reason why he has chosen to spend the next nine months upon the slopes of Mt. Oread.
Seeking information as to the exact logic pursued in selecting this university, it was deemed advisable that a number of this year's freshmen be informally interviewed. The entertaining and prodigious scribe to whom was entrusted this task felt that it would be an easy undertaking. In the course of this work I would answer from all of them. Each when asked his reason, would hesitate and then reply judiciously, "To get in education."
This sentiment, reflected the reporter, could easily be enlarged upon and he prepared purported answers, such as:
"In order to improve my mental apabilities."
"To bring me in touch with men f my own age as well as to inculate the knowledge of my elders."
"To prepare myself for the grim
battle of life; or to put it more metaphorically, I will clone myself in the armor of Education as a foil to the sweeps of Ignorance."
Well satisfied with himself the reporter handed in his story, and returned to his boarding house. \A rather vain desire to prove his contentions overtook him. Consequently, upon spotting a freshman the hewn material thought a moment, and then said:
"The guys have put me hep to the fact that there are a lot of wicked parties thrown up here, so we know 'em how to shake nasty hoof."
The reporter, dumbfounded by what he termed an abnormal youth, soon came to another. The conversation as before, was more vivid and richer. "He still remembered still more startled. For the answer received this time was:
"Well, my dad, came up here, and to satisfy the family, I shoved off too."
Again and again came the disappointing replies. The reporter was bombarded with sentiments which were shocking.
At last, a bespectacled youth with
"Shake!"

The boy looked mournfully at his acquaintance, and drew dramatically:
"Dad's a fatalist, and wanted to die poor, so he sent me here."

Your father and mother always carried ample protection on your belongings at home. Are they worth any less now that you are in school? A Fraternity or Sorority house policy does not cover members' personal property.
By special arrangement we have a policy issued by the Springfield Fire & Marine and the Connecticut Fire Insurance Companies which will cover as follows:
It covers loss to personal property by Fire, Lightning and Transportation, while in the hands of railroad, express or transfer companies.
This form covers within the limits of the United States and Canada.
It covers loss by fire while in dwellings, hotels and other buildings except in permanent residence of assured. It also covers against loss by theft of entire trunks from rooms occupied by assured in hotels or boarding houses or while in charge of a common carrier.
The Springfield's Tourist Baggage policy is liberal as to terms and is free from burdensome conditions.
Losses under it will be paid promptly and in full without discount.
It is a necessity to travelers, vacationists, students at colleges and boarding schools, and to teachers. When the small cost is considered any one who contemplates traveling even on short trips cannot afford to be without a policy which covers personal property (excluding freight shipments) against loss or damage by Fire, Lightning, Theft and Transportation Hazards. Rates $1.00 per $100 per year.
