Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones Bell K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate into a more familiar form, but for further than merely printing the news in paper would not provide the versatility holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious heads; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1917 FOR YOU AND ME—TOMORROW Every student on Mount Oread will want to attend the All-University Convocation in the Gym tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, when Chancellor Strong gives his first word of greeting to the student body. It will be the first big meeting of the K. U. family this year—and every member of that family will want to be there. Chancellor Strong is to talk on "Problems, New and Old." A double quartet from the School of Fine Arts will sing. College songs and national airs will dig honorons on the program—and the "Crimson and the Blue" will be sung with the same fervor as "America." For most of the freshmen, it will be a first experience in giving a "Rock Chalk." Cheerleader Rusty Friend, who will lead it, will make his first bow to a K. U. audience. The convocation will begin at ten o'clock, and last an hour. It will be an hour full of the best sort of entertainment—an hour that every loyal K. U. student can thoroughly enjoy. You're going—of course! FOR OUR SOLIDERS Members of Company M will be in charge of a booth at the Gym Friday, where contributions to the Company Fund will be received from students attending the All-University convocation. Students are expected to contribute not because the men in the company are soldiers, but because they are our soldiers. Company M is the University company; it was organized on Mount Oread and recruited here; and the great majority of the men in it are University men. Very naturally then, University students are expected to help the former students now in active service for their country. Last spring a small fund was raised for the company, a tag day and a benefit dance, but this fund has already been spent. More money is necessary if our soldiers are to have the little comforts that other companies—from towns much smaller than the University community—have. Giving to this company fund is just one of the many things those of us who are not in military service can do. To say that it is our duty is superfluous. It is our opportunity—and our privilege. OUR FOOTBALL TEAM OUR FOOTBALL TEAM The crisp call of signals, the thudding punt of the pigskin, and the crush of lithe bodies, thrown together in the shock of football practice, are once again heard on Hamilton Field. Though crippled by war, the nucleus from which K. U.'s football team is to be recruited is a very promising one—and Kansas sport everywhere are glad to see that the outlook for the season is much better than anyone had here-tofore anticipated. The fact that few letter men have returned to school, and that some of those now appearing for practice may soon be called for military duty, makes it imperative that all football men—whether freshmen last year, second string men on former varsities, or inter-class players—come out to the practices. Coach Olicett is doing his best to give us a team that will uphold the Kansas record in the Missouri Valley. He can do it if the men in this institution will help him. Unquestionably, we have among the men students here this year the material for a team that can be as good as those of recent years. More than that—the men who are able will come to the assistance of the coach, and Kansas will have a great team. It's because of the Kansas spirit—the spirit that never fails. "THIS IS THE LIFE" Nothing is more ridiculous than the clothing advertisements run in almost every magazine current at this season of the year, portraying the college student in a striped blazer, a mandolin on his arm, and a curved-stemmed pipe, either very bull-doggish or abnormally long, in his mouth, and a half dozen or more similarly equipped comrades lolling about the room in attitudes of ease. Usually they are singing. Pennants adorn the walls. And there is frequently not a book in sight. Such pictures are a long ways from the truth—especially here at K. U., this year. There is very little of the traditional "rah-rah" college spirit, and what little there is stands in small favor. Students are here for business and hard work—and they have little time to fool away in idle pastimes. Posters of college men nearly always show the light side—the impossible side—of college life. They depict impossible situations, and impossible fashion. Students do not come to Mount Oread for four years of gay and festive living—they come for work, and if they do not work, they cannot stay. CAMPUS OPINION WORKING ONE'S WAY THROUGH In the eyes of people off the campus the man who "works his way through school" is a hard-grubbing individual who crawls into his apartment room after a day of toil and tries to work. This person is often enough to study the next day's lessons by the flickering candle-light. But those of us who are better acquainted with the man, know that it is as often as not one who gets out of college life the most that it has to WANT ADS FOR RENT—Nice room in new house.

Send the Daily Kansan home C copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx Sport Suits for all Men is the Call for Fall THE nice thing about the styles known as "sport" styles is that they're suitable for business as well as recreation. They look well anywhere; and it's a good idea to carry into business the suggestion that your daily work is a pleasure and that you go at it in the same spirit and in the same clothes that you wear for golf or tennis. The man or young man who can put on the sport spirit at the same time that he puts on a sport suit will do his business with greater joy, and naturally with greater success. When a man enjoys his work, he usually does it well. The characteristic feature of sport suits is the belt, in one form or another. The belt may go all 'round or it may be a partial belt. In addition to this, the military idea comes into these sport suits; with the country at war, it is natural that this idea should be a feature in men's clothes. You will see it in the yokes, the patch pockets; the plaits; the erect, vigorous, military figure is the coming type. Hart Schaffner & Marx sport suits are the favorites. We'll show them to you in all the new designs; glad to. The fabrics are all-wool; buy them for real economy as well as style; your satisfaction guaranteed.
