BACK ON THE JOB
And now comes the announcement that Jay Bond, member of the all-victorious eleven of 1908 and for three years assistant Varsity coach, is to come back to his old job this year and coach the freshmen.
Three cheers! And congratulations, Jay!
We knew you wouldn't like business life well enough to forever forsake the call of the pigskin. You've got too much fight in your make-up, too much ginger and enthusiasm spirit, too much of a love for the success of K. U. teams, not to come back to the University in her time of need.
TO HONOR HIM
Medical fraternity notice: "Vivsection meeting tonight in lecture room. Come dressed to kill."
We know that the Varsity this year, and future Varsitys, will be better because you are down there on McCook to teach the tyros.
Are we going to allow this opportunity to pass?
The plan to erect a tablet in memory of Lieut. W, T. Fitzsimons, the K. U. graduate who was the first American to die in active service for America in the present war, seems to have everybody in its favor and nobody to push it through.
Chancellor Strong, Registrar Foster, Alumni Secretary Agnes Thompson, all have expressed their opinion that a memorial tablet ought to be purchased and placed either here or at Rosedale.
But the pian lacks completion—and the idea will never materialize unless someone with the proper authority takes hold of it.
Not every who looks in a mirror has sufficient cause for reflection.
WHERE IS IT?
Last year Chancellor Strong announced—and the announcement was greeted with favor everywhere—that a course of instruction in the history of the University was to be given all freshmen. First year students were to be taught not only the history of the school and of a few of the many great men who have graduated from this institution, but they were also to be told of the ideals which the University holds, and of what it expects of the students who come here. One hour's credit was to be given for the course, and it was to be required of every first year student—as are Gym and Hygiene.
It is lamentable that the plan has not been carried out. One reason why students become disloyal to the University is because they are not taught something about it while they are here. If they were led to understand and appreciate the struggles through which the institution has passed; were thoroughly imbued with the ideals for which the University stands; and were taught to
have some regard for the problems of the institution while they are in school, we should have no such thing as disqualy graduates in the state legislature voting to reduce the University's appropriation.
Is it too late to introduce the course?
Swimming is unquestionably the University's cleanest sport.
THEY'RE SPEED FIENDS!
Walter Havekorst and Registrar George O. Foster, who have had their heads together for several days in conference over the graft situation, are getting things done—in a hurry. Not only are they going to eliminate graft by checking up minutely all receipts and expenditures; but it is rumored that Registrar Foster now has a plan to deprive student managers of their an adequate salary for their work.
Such a plan would be a team effort to student activities on the Hill. There isn't the same amount or kind of honor in putting on a Junior Prom that there is in being captain of the University's football team—and every student knows it. There is real glory in being a college athlete; in being bearded by thousands of rooters; in being petted and looked after and taken on trips to distant schools, there to meet and conquer the foe. But is there any such glory in putting on a Junior Prom or managing a student publication or staging a dramatic club play? There is not! There is work—and work only—and often no thanks for one's efforts. Two years ago after one of the biggest parties of the school year, five hundred guests at the Junior Prom brushed by the Prom managers on their way out of the gym, after they had had the time of their lives for seven hours—and not one of them thought to stop and thank the managers who had so successfully given the party.
The one reason why capable students go after the management of student activities is because they have a chance to make something for themselves if they successfully perform the duties of their office. And they have a right to expect a legitimate return for the amount of time, energy, and brains they put into the enterprise.
The Kansan hates graft-rotten graft. It hates the graft of graft that pays a student manager out of all proportion to what he really earns. But it does not believe that a capable class of students will be attracted to office if those offices are put on a strictly "honor" basis. The sacrifices necessary to perform capably the duties of a big student office are too great.
The student council and the University authorities should think the matter over a long, long time before they decide to take away all compensation for student managers.
In the youthful years of secondary school life the boy wants to head the pennant winner of one of the great baseball leagues; in college he wants to head his college paper, or perhaps his aspirations may be otherwise. As his college years come to an end, he wants to realize that life is a tough proposition and that if he makes a decent living for himself and family he will be doing all that he could be reasonably called upon to do.
OTHER OPINIONS
The call of leadership that found its way in the wellspring of youth still calls, and it is only for the college man to open his mind and look in the great beyond, the future that holds the treasure of achievement in the vision the vision will strengthen both, add to experience, and quicken lecision.
GREATER VISION
It is the right of superior choice that you must use to forge ahead in the battles of life. You are not held down by the shackles of wealth or political tyranny. Education is practically free and if you want to build a leadership as you used to in the days of boyhood, it devolves upon you and you alone to step 'back again into the spirit of the days that are gone, to dream and to cast your vision into the structures of reality—Daily Iowan.

Phi Kappa, national Catholic social fraternity, first organized at Brown University in 1889, will install a chapter here Saturday, October 2. K. U. prospers. Seven faculty members now own cars, the Chancellor heading the list with a Chambers. None are Fords. Some of our faculty heads can drive to Colorado, and some off an embankment, but all agree that motoring is an exhiliration sport.
W. J. Berg, '15, of the entomology department, leaves for Cornell to post graduate work in entomology and research work in extensive research work in Kansas.
Mrs. Eustace Brown's first tea for freshmen women is announced for Friday from 3:30 to 5 p. m. in Fraser Hall. The tea will be strictly informal. "We want the girls to drop in just as they come from classes," says Mrs. Brown, "and party dresses will not be required." Refreshments will be served by upperclassmen.
Lawrence Palmer, college junior, is storekeeper in the Chemistry 1 laboratory.
Josephine Martin: Last week when the sun was shining I was sorry I wasn't going to be back in school this year. This week I've been glad I don't have to trot up the Hill in the rain.
Walter Havelorsst: You bet, the freshmen will have to wear caps! And they're going to begin before the freshman class election, too—so the sophs and juniors and seniors won't be making mistakes and asking the freshmen to vote at the upperclassmen polls.
WHAT THEY SAY
The Campus Pote: Now always when I'm dancing with a brunette or a blond, who reaches just a bit above my chin; if I try to be agreeable and ope'm mouth to speak, I find some wand'ring curl has drifted in. I'm sick to death of Herpicide and other toes—too Pearls', Packers' Tar, and so on. You're forever fore each dance that girls should spend some time, in sugar-coating each and every hair. How happy then would be the lot of all the six-foot men, if coat their hair the lady really did. We wouldn't even besiestate, but chew hair all the time—for every girl would be a candy kid.
Prof. W. W. Davis: One of the bad things that may result from the war is that each country involved may attempt to throw aside its dependence and be sufficient unto itself. What did Columbus convey to you about that Columbus discovered America by accident. Read about Marco Polo, and consult one of the following texts. Look up—distinguish between a book or source books straughts—trade routes. I expect no student to go to sleep in this class!
