The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news and stand for stakes; to play no favorables; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be calm; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to satisfy the students of the University.

TONIGHT
Tenight marks the opening of the 1917 Basketball season, and the gymnasium should be packed to the guards to give the boys a send-off. The first floor and the balcony of the gymnasium outside of the basketball floor will seat over a thousand, but there should be fifteen hundred there by the time the game begins.
Of course we know it is getting late in the semester, but the student who stays at home to study when the team is starting out a strenuous basketball season can never expect to see a winning athletic team at K. U. The game starts early and is over by 8:15, leaving plenty of time for necessary work after the game.
So here's to the Basketball Squad. May they have the support of the whole University and bring home another Missouri Valley Championship!
Just as we are about to develop a certain altruistic love for our University the Kansan announces that the senior class is going to stage the prize contest play.
JUST A FABLE
Once upon a Time there was a Boy He was a College Boy, which is Enough to Describe almost Any Boy. He was just simply Immersed to his Ears in his College Work which included Keeping in Good with Mary Jane and determining the percentage of Turkish Tobacco in any Cigarette, Mary Jane was a Foxy Jane and the Boy smoked Keen Cigarettes, and he was known as a Connoisseur among his Inner Circle of Friends.
Consequently this Boy did not have an Overabundance of Time to waste on his Studies. He was studying to be a Pianist. Whenever he enrolled he took whatever Music was Required for Graduation, but he Fought Shy of such Common subjects as History, Philosophy, the Languages, Psychology, Science, and others for which he had to study with the Common Herd in the Library. He was a Seeker after Snaps, as the College Parlance had it.
And what was more, he found Them. At the end of the Fourth year he Sat on a Platform with a lot of other Seniors and the Prexy handed him nineteen cents worth of Parchment bearing the customary "Know Ye All by These Presents" and Signed in Various Unreadable Scripts that our Hero knew were the names of the 42-centimeter Guns who had planned the Curriculum so that he could get a Degree.
He took his Education and had it Framed and Mother put it in the Parlor over the Whatnot that supported the Family Album, the only place Worthy of such a Document. And then came the Rub.
He went out into the Cold World
and began a Campaign for Three Squares a day. He Offered his Services to two or three Lycme Bureaus and as many Chautnauqs, but they couldn't see it His Way after the Initial Trial. Finally he obtained a Job in a Movie Emporium and the Ten Per that the Manager handed him on Saturday Nights was surely Welcome.
But the Day Came when even the Movie Emporia tired of his Services, and the Manager granted him a Six Months Vacation Twice each year. The Manager then hired a Boob who could Play "Hearts and Flowers" when the Villain was cursing the Heroine and "Over the Waves" for a Boating Scene on the Nile, for Our Hero had never been able to Distinguish any Difference in the Brand of Music he played.
He had Learned to pick the Snaps in College, and it was Easier to Play what he wanted than to Suit the Music to the Picture. So Our Hero Went to Work. He gets nine dollars now on Saturday Night. During the week he paints Fences and Barns.
And he never Saw the Connection Between a Well Grounded Education and a Successful Musical Career.
Moral—Don't think you are slipping something over on your Alma Mater when you pick all the snaps in the catalog. Such courses were put in for just such boobs as you.
As-It-Might-Be Item — Dear Son:
What's the matter? Your checks ran only $150 last month and your grades are showing that you put too much time on your lessons. Be careful. Dad.
As-It-Is Item—Dear Son: For the love of Mike, why do you write for five more? Now when I went to college—etc., etc., etc., etc. Your mother is worrying herself sick over your grades. If you don't perk up next semester you'll have to quit, that's all. Dad.
THOSE PICTURES
Are you good looking? It isn't necessary. Senior pictures are to be taken anyway. What would that Annual be without yours? A poor book indeed. It's your opportunity now to put yourself where you'll never be forgotten. In fifty years you wouldn't take a $5,000 farm or a Ford factory for the space you fill in the Annual. Nobody will ever be so proud of you as you will be of yourself.
COLLEGE AND RELIGION
We wonder if many persons don't exaggerate the seriousness of the religious doubts which are said to rise in mind of the college man or woman?
Truly there is plausibility in the argument that the spirit of inquiry and of demanding proofs, which pervades the university classroom, tends to produce such doubts. But, plausible though this may be, is it a fact that this spirit of doubt and unbelief exists?
In three and one-half years in college we have never heard any one openly declare that he had lost the faith in which he had been trained.
It is true, no doubt, that religious views may be shaken slightly and for a brief time by the influence of college. But a readjustment is sure to come. The student is sure to see that the apparent contradictions which have disturbed him are capable of explanation.
Religious views are likely to be modified by the college atmosphere. But the change, in nine of ten cases, is profoundening rather than of destruction.
College, one can say after study of the situation, strengthens religious faith in more cases than it weakens it. This does not need theoretical explanation; the actual proof is at hand for that reason. Religion, dormant during their younger days, becomes a living, active reality under the college influence.
Although one's religious viewpoint is likely to shift with introduction into college, the normal person will fundamentals—Ohio State Lantern.
The college man or woman's religion is one in which the spirit of service is added to that of faith. It follows that a religion which DOES as well as IS.
"Ah!" sirked the boarder who was given to rhapsodies, as they sat down to the Christmas dinner. "If we could only have one of those turkeys that we used to raise on the farm when I was a boy!"
"Oh, well," said the pessimistic boarder, "perhaps it is one."—Ladies' Home Journal.
CHISEEN:
We won. We foke use one such slang.
They ought to let the stuff go hang.
Our profane junk—you but your neck
Some of its even worse, by leech.
It is enough to make one choke
And blush out loud, by hockey poke.
It's hard on morale, don't you see,
And not what its cracked up to be.
Slang words must have a sugar coat. 'Foreak taken, or they'll get your goal.' There's neat phrases in the batch—Let's send the whole blamed shooting.
POET'S CORNER
CHEESE THE SLANG!

preferability no doubt
It is proptility, no doubt,
And we all ought to cat it out.
So why do people use such slang,
When it's not fit to use?--Oh, dang
