The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely印刷 the University of Kansas; to hold a University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be chosen; to enviable; to charming; to terrible; to serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1917
It is the business of every live newspaper to raise the devil in some way every day.-Ed. Howe.
THEY'RE ALL HERE
Yes, they're all here and they're all glad to be back.
The laundry agent hit you before you were hardly off the train; the boarding club steward camped on your trail as you climbed the Hill; and 'steen other varieties of agents, grafters, and solicitors scraped up an acquaintance with you in any possible way.
But say—it's great to have 'em doin' it, isn't it? You like the atmosphere up here—you can' help it. Same busy place as in former years, in spite of the old faces that are missing since the war took so many of the men away. Nevertheless, the crop of freshmen is just as big as in former years—the excitement is just as intense—and it takes just as long as usual to get down the line to the big desk where the little girl takes your money away from you and you learn that the two dollar hospital fee is still very, very much popular.
Yes, it's a great old feeling—just to be back in Lawrence in the fall when things begin to hum.
And the nicest part of it all is that we have "business as usual."
Trying will do anything in the world.—Theocritus.
THOSE REGISTRATION FIGURES
Registrar Foster's prediction that the K. U. enrollment will reach 3,000 this year is being watched with interest not only in Lawrence but all over the state. Mr. Foster based his statement on the large number of high school graduations last spring, believing that 1,200 freshmen would be here this fall. If that number enrollee, there can be but little doubt that the 3,000 mark will be reached, and that the University will be just as big and just as busy a place as last year. The annual increase in enrolment will be cut off, of course.
The enrollment at Manhattan this year fell off 700. This is no doubt due to the fact that so many of the K. S. A. C. students are farmers and that they feel their services are required at home. K. U. draws a somewhat different class of students—though she is proud that many of her best men are from the farm—and due to the fact that many men from the cities are here it is highly probable that Registrar Foster's total will be reached.
Here's hoping!
God does not give us results, but only opportunities.—Black.
HIS EYES ARE OPEN
The Sour Owl ain't sleepy. He's not sitting on a limb, blinking in the sunlight, these fine days. He's up and comin' and his eyes are open in the daytime.
In fact, he's flying around quite promiscuously on Mount Oread this week. The Kansan is glad to see him here. He's a bird with a big future (futsels with pasts always have futures) and the new board which has taken hold of the publication this year bids fair to help the bird along on his path to reform and rejuvenation.
Resplendent in crimson and blue, with lots of snappy jokes and a great deal of art matter, the first Owl of the 1917-18 school year is with us. We welcome him—and give those in charge of his career our best wishes.
The men who are lifting the word upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize.—Elizabeth Harrison.
THE WAR HITS HOME
A K. U. man was the first American soldier to be killed on European battlefields. Thus does the war hit home.
But K. U. folks, even in their sorrow, can not but feel a tinge of pride as they tell of his death. That many more K. U. men will bravely meet their death in the great conflict there can be no doubt; that they meet death fearlessly, while in the performance of their duty, is to their credit. That such men are graduates of the University is our pride, and whatever they do in the cause of democracy will be lauded back here at home.
The thing in this world I am most afraid of in fear. "Montaigne."
Successful men take one hundred times the trouble that men usually do.—Parton.
OTHER OPINIONS
THE LITTLE OPPORTUNITIES
The business of life in college and after is no small or trivial matter, especially in so far as success and willingness to do the things nearest at hand are concerned. Some people take such things seriously all the time. Yet others seem to think that they should be concerned only with the pleasure of the moment and grasp the big opportunity when it comes. Others see that are rather to be done but they would rather be let the other fellow do that, and wait for the big chance to distinguish themselves.
Fate rules that not every person may have a "big opportunity," but he who is willing to do what is nearest at hand and what needs doing stands more chance of getting the "big opportunity." To be able to throw one's personal things in the air, with the thing that is nearest and needs to be done is one of the most commendable things in a person.
To say that "the cat danced" or "the show went off well" means more than to say "I did that" or "the success of the venture was due to my vigilance and willingness to do the hardest part."
What railway catastrophe could have happened to the Girard "Appeal to Reason," to bring down on it such a blow as the following editorial says: "If we say much and the Union Pacific is never more than nine hours late:
The person who does the little tasks which seem so trivial but which lead to bigger things will be admired more than the one who sits down on the job and says he is above doing just anything. The best policy is always to do what is nearest and to fill one's place as the best of one's children and bigger things will find that person more efficient in their handling and better prepared to take a position.-Indiana Daily Student.
We would like to remind the "Appeal to Reason" of Rirad, Kann., and a motely host of others who still rake in the muck of twenty years ago, that the railways of this country are a fact, and not an inflamed state of mind. There are some officers active in the railway business just as there are some liars and traitors active in the newspaper business, but the vast majority of both trades are honest workers. If railway managers were such mean crooks as these howlers make out, then "nationalization" would mean merely, multiplying business growth by greater growth. The fact is that the rail-transportation system of this country is, right now, the best of any country on earth, and it is doing more and better work than ever before.

WALTER CAMP'S HEALTH RULES
Walter Camp, the father of the American game of football, and for years the chief athletic advisor at Yale, has prepared a set of rules for
A bath, cold if you please, hot if you must, with a good rub, starts the process.
As nothing is more important than the conservation of health, both as a national and a personal asset, they are fundamental to our interest and interesting, and are as follows;
Warm feet and a cool head need no physician.
If you will save your smoke till after
sweep, you'll never have a
smoke, burnt, bitter.
Wearing the same weight underclothing the year around will save you $200.
Dress cool when you walk and warm when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given you to breath through.
clean skin, clean socks, clean underwear every day.
Never let a day pass without covering four miles on foot.
Hot water quick is the best thing for a sprain.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin any direction.
When you rob the trolley company
of money by walking you add a
dime to your pocket.
You'll never get the gout from walking.
Sleep woos the physically tired man and the flouts the mentally exhauled.
Tennis up to the thirties, but golf after forty.
Nature never punished a man for getting his legs tired. She has punished many for getting their nerves exhausted.
Two hours of outdoor exercise by the
team never yet made him over-critical of
their technique.
Don't ask the heart to pump extra blood to the brain all day and then go home.
Leg weariness never yet produced brain fag.
Open windows don't make half so many colds as closed ones do.
The best way to use the Sunday supplement is to stick it under your vest while you walk an hour against them and then come home and read it.
Nature said, "You must earn your living by the sweat of your brow," and if you earn it that ding in some other way, you get the sweat or she will make you pay for it.
