Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Phones. Bell K, U. 25 and 66 The Dally Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the student, than merely printing the news by standing for them, and thus play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to wear headwear; to wear helers; in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCT "THE WAR AT HOME" Willard Wattles, instructor in English, took his customary shot at the "social climber" in his poem which the Kansan printed yesterday. Mr. Wattles is considerably concerned because of the apparent failure of many K. U. students to see anything bigger in their college careers than social success; and he takes pains on every available occasion to tell us about it. What do K. U. students, themselves, think about the criticism? Is it true that a lot of men and women come to the University only to "make a fraternity"—to achieve social success? Mr. Wattles would probably not say that the majority of us do he only thinks that a great many of us do. His criticism is that fraternity life, as it is lived here, does not lead toward democracy but that it causes students to be jealous of one another, and to snub one another on account of social distinctions. The Kansan does not believe that conditions are as bad as they are made out to be. There are plenty of "hale and hearty youths" around this institution who do something other than spend their time in dancing classes and at parties. But there are, undoubtedly, a few who do little else. Just what *is* the situation, and what *is* the remedy? Let's hear what the Kansan's readers think. The "Communication" column is open to discussion of this tonic. Apparently, they're ripping the stuff out of the seat of war. OVER IN SPOONER There's a box on the main delivery desk over in Spooner Library into which every K. U. student—man or woman, white or colored, law, engineer, or college—should drop a contribution this week. The money which accumulates in the box between now and Friday night is to be used to buy books for the American soldiers in France. A more worthy purpose cannot be imagined—for books are as essential to the happiness and mental health of the soldiers as Red Cross work is to their physical welfare. The State of Kansas furnishes us absolutely free of charge thousands of volumes which we may read at our leisure. And in addition, we have the privilege of buying all the books we want at bookstores. The American soldiers in France have no such great libraries at hand. There are not even bookstores where they could buy books if they had the money to do so. Whatever reading matter they get must come from us—as a donation. Think of these things when you see that contribution box in Spooner this week. Put yourself in the soldier's place. How would you like to be in an army camp, lonesome, homesick, even melancholy—without a single book to read? Think it over—and then do the only square thing. Any man who blows his own horn and blows it hard enough is a hornyhanded son of toil. FRESHMAN CAPS There should not be, and there will not be, any serious objection by freshmen to the wearing of freshman caps. The mere fact that the University Senate saw fit to abolish paddling on the campus cannot prevent upperclassmen from enforcing the tradition by other means, if necessary. But that is not the point. The tradition does not have to be "enforced,"—chiefly because it is a tradition. From year to year during the football season and the baseball season first year men have worn some kind of distinctive headgear on the campus. Such headgear not only enables the freshmen to get acquainted with each other, but it fosters, quite naturally, a feeling of class loyalty and class pride. First-year men should not take the wrong attitude toward the freshman cap. It is not forced on freshmen as a joke. The cap is a mark of distinction used for the benefit of the individual. It is a thing which should help to start friendships among beginning students. No freshman should be ashamed to wear a cap. By donning one he helps along a tradition that is firmly established here. By refusing to wear one, he not only shows his ignorance and his disloyalty, but he exhibits the fact all too plainly that he is not in sympathy with what those who have gone before we have passed on as tradition. Show the right spirit, freshmenbuy a cap and wear it! No matter how much asmother love her boy away at college, it is impossible for her to convince herself that he does not deliberately pull buttons off his clothes to make her sew them on. WE MAKE OUR BOW Students, meet Mr. Jayhawk, an old friend of ours. Just like our many other friends, he is going to be with us again this year. But instead of remaining silent he is going to tell us lots of things in his daily talk. Don't take him seriously, so he can't be serious. Jayhawk may tell you anything—or nothing. He may comment on George Bernard Shaw, or he may compose an original poem; he may compose a story; he might plain the deep mysteries of the ukelee; or he may write his own biography, or tell you the latest joke on the frush. It can easily be seen that Jayhawk is not wingless—for he flies from one topic to another, and so, students, you may look for "something new under the sun," from M. Jayhawk in his own prescribed column. Ruth Foster, a Washburn junior, enrolls at K. U. She plans to major in English and Dramatic Art and after her graduation here, to go to the Emmerson School of Expression in Boston. When Seniors were Sophs Come back tomorrow. Coach Olcott announces a "double" lineup of thirty-one men for the opening game of the season to be played here with William Jewell. Such a lineup will be used to get a lineup on men for an eleven to meet the "dangerous" Kansas Normals a week later. Charles Eegan, sophomore Engineer, spent the summer working on the power transmission line of the golf course where he played in Garden City. Part of the time he painted numbers on the poles of the power line. POET'S CORNER The gliried guider of the day; a shelter through the night. Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to clean sight— The stripes forever gleam; Snowwhite and soulful white. YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG The stripes forever greet, Snow-white and soul-wheat- and how it flies to-day In your land and my land and half a world away! Your flag and my flag In your land and my land And half a world away! Baby red, and blood red. and my flag To tow and trumpet The drums beat hearts beat And fliers shrimp pipe! Your flag and my flag A swing in the wind Your home and my hope It never hid a lie I always be happy and well Home land and far land and half the world around, Old Glory hears our glad salute and rhapsody to the sound! OTHER OPINIONS —Wilbur D. Nesbit. GETTING STARTED RIGHT The one flag—the great flag—the flag for me and you— A good beginning is a great advantage. It is important to start the year's work with a right attitude toward the life here. "You see now, much it holds— Your heart is so strong, Secure within its folds, Your heart and my heart Kissed in the light, Sun-kissed and wind-kissed. Before anyone has reached college age, he should have learned to be bigger than himself—to view things from a standpoint outside of his own sedish interests—to consider the other than his individual preferences. white and blue! There are regulations in force in the University which may at times seem irksome of us. But they have grown out of self-evident needs, and are the basis of the growing good name of our institution. Shall a petty, touchy sense of our own individual liberty outweigh our own Let us not have any false ideas about personal liberty. A spirit of morality is never anything but l耻耻! Only children hink it is "smart," Defiance, except in a case of right against wrong, is all together unlovely, while respect for discipline is an attitude of the most beautiful dig; its attribute of a 'true gentleman or lady' is a mark of capacity and greatness. There are some observances required here which some of us might think we could violate with impunity. But "no one has a right to do that which, if done by all, would destroy society," is a principle which applies in a school group as well as in the world at large. He who has not learned to obey rules, will not be able to enforce rules. It is not the disorderly privation of a man's hand. Any individual who boasts that he or she has never obeyed rules merely proclaims himself or herself a case of retarded development. The same person has learned that much early in life.
