The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students as they go further than merely printing the news from their kansas; to go farther than merely holding the news from their kansas holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to all, to serve to the University.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8,1916.
Two kinds of individuals people the
receive and those who take it.
K. U. ON TEST
The student body of K. U. will be on test next week as to its familiarity with the obligations of a host. Hospitality is, of course, an inherent quality. It springs from a certain attitude of mind which generally can be developed only in the home. It is not a routine or code of etiquette that can be committed to memory like a "French in 20 Lessons" book. Yet it is not merely an inherent quality. And its presence is very apt to be doubted unless there is some positive expression of it. Kansas is famous for its hospitality. Our fathers and mothers have left us a reputation to live up to. Parents' week will give us of this generation a chance to demonstrate that we can preserve the tradition.
BE A SPORT
This is the time of the year when those who announced their intention to sleep outdoors all winter begin sleeping inside.
Once there was a man who arose to speak without making an apology for his subsequent talk.
The new directories are out. They are serviceable. They are worth much more than ten cents to any student; yet they are given away free. Only the request has been made that a dime be left for each directory, to be added to the Student Loan fund to help someone who, perhaps, could not otherwise be in that directory. There are students who take their directories,—glad to get them—yet unwilling to help make someone else glad. They go away and laugh to think how they got their directories for nothing, and straightway band together and go downtown for a hilarious hour at a ten cent show.
BE YOURSELF!
No matter what the circumstances—be yourself. Whether with a magnate, a prize fighter, a minister, or a laborer—be yourself. If a rich man pats you on the back and brain-trained—be your infidle; if a prizefighter talks to you like a brother, don't assume the attitude of a worldly-wise sport; be yourself; if a minister takes you within his ken, don't put on an angel face and a seraphim air—be yourself; and if a laborer comes with his troubles and asks your course and asks him to do well and be yourself. In every circumstance, show your own good qualities—so often buried under a false exterior—and be yourself.
Some folks think praise is the only just comment.
ST. SIMON AND HIS PILLAR
ST. SIMON AND HIS PILLAR
"We run — fence — walk hard—
weary our poor lounge and
beams of our building muscles
we do not need. . . These muscles
are useful only to cart us around,
help us do slave work, or pound our
fellow men, yet we cultivate them
with care, with patience, and with
knowledge that we neglect our minds
nowadays for the development of our
bodies. Yet, how much experience
would we ever get, if it were not for these encumbering bodies that cart us around? The day of St. Simon and his pillar is past. The old theories of dualism are passe. The development of the body and the mind go hand in hand, each dependent upon the other. If a little more time were devoted to developing our senses, we would not be trailing about over the earth's surface quite so many washed-out, pale-eyed specimens of humanity.
BREEDING
Elderly men and women are often old fashioned and narrow. They have such queer ideas and don't know half the things that we University people know, such as the importance of a past age and it is so much fun to shock them and our newly acquired knowledge, to laugh over their foibles and narrowness. But once in a while comes a youth or maid who finds tenderness and chivalry in the old ideals, rather than mere conservatism, who can view the queer foibles with tolerance and affection, these young people who find
FICTION IN LIFE
Um-m·m? How good it all was,
fried oysters, grapefruit, fudge, lobster salad—a regular spread, such as blue cheese and the peaceful sleepers below. Then the next morning, that awful dark brown taste and heavy eyes, a flunk in a quilt of brown hair, makes these classies! This is the mid-week spread about which novelists rave.
Jayhawk Squawks
It's a little late in the game, but the team wants to take a shot at the Sour Owl.
The Sour Owl of this year is truly a bird puckled of its original smutty plumage, but it isn't painted as white as it was advertised.
The "Pepper Pot" and a number of other parts of the magazine bear the earmarks of the old Owl—and they are not the earmarks of a college comic paper that the University of Kansas would be proud to line up beside the Cornell Widow, the Yale Record, and the Harvard Lampoon.
(N. B. Yes, the writer got his'n in the "Pepper Pot.")
But the idea is fine, and the editors of the Owl are to be congratulated on getting a start in the right direction, even if they reach the goal on their first attempt.
The average American audience, it is sad to admit, likes about so much of the shady, but they want it with their own efforts. They offer an excuse for their reading it.
And with the end in view of catering to a university audience, the Sour Owl will never get across if it persists in groveling in the kind of rot that its predecessor made itself infamous for.
Kansas needs a good comic paper—there is a field for one, and the talent is here to put out one as good as any in the country, but it will never be there. It needs and draw first-class stuff if it gets its early practice on cheap vulgarity.
It looks as though the old maxim, "Better late than never," wasn't going to work overly well in the case of her having to jump starting in the case of the naughty rally.
Legal authorities say there is a case against the fraternity man who stole a can of shoe polish from down-town shine parlor and made freshman black his shoes with it for a month.
For every result, says the philosopher, there is a cause. Why is it, then, O ye saes, that faculty members ever strive for the essence of wit in their communications to the Kansan?
Now that we've hopped onto the owl Jour, we feel fetter. We don't say that we could have done better—or even as well—and we want to see another attempt in the near future. So does everybody else. —H. P.

POET'S CORNER
MOTHER
The time will come when all seems bright
And Gloom around you hovers,
Oh! how you long with all your heart
I'll go there, I'm going to do it.
And you're mighty lonesome too.
When all the world does naught but
When things don't seem to go just right.
And you're feeling kinda blue,
When life to you is one big fight
I make myself lose to
And the world will smile once more,
When Gloom will take a mighty flight
and fly above the city.
Then a strange unrest around you'll
feel.
And you'll know there is no other, Who can her place on with her heart fill With your heart filled.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION Editor Daily Kansan:
CAMPUS OPINION

CAMPUS OPINION
And you long to be with mother.
—Phoebe Ann.
The old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure has been related to us so many times that we have long regarded it as the truth. In fact, the principle is applied by the majority of the public and business men in the successful conduct of business administration.
The latest act of the University Senate, however, seems to be along entirely different lines. Eight students were thrown out of the University for the remainder of the semester at a total cost to their parents of almost two thousand dollars as a "cure" for the naughty rally evil. The "cure" was not considered a wise decision and it wore to warn the students that expulsion would follow the next attempt to start an unofficial rally.
Now for the prevention. The Senate knew the day, hour and place where the naughty rally would start and the probable instigators. Representative members were to stop the attempts. Or, fifteen representative students, real leaders among men, could have been called to the office and their cooperation asked in stopping any attempt to break into the regular class room. They could have been on the spot and the rally would never have started.
Other means could have been used for the same purpose. At any rate, with a little precaution the University Senate could have saved considerable trouble and much unfavorable publicity.
LEFT ON THE BLACKBOARDS
Have you ever let your eyes wander to the blackboard during the course of a lecture, and wondered about the stray scraps of writing, on unfamiliar subjects, left there from preceding classes?
All sorts of miscellaneous ideas can be pieced together from such fragments of subjects with which you know nothing about them, by natural curiosity or unknown things leads you to try to work out actual knowledge from the vague hints presented—to build up pictures of all the scattered bits of knowledge.
In one room, for instance, you see a few sentences of Greek. You can enter any word, and the acquaintance with fraternity-houses doorplates, but you puzzle over the small letters, trying to piece out the spelling and the meaning of the
And this list of names—apparently of early and unfamiliar writers—with titles in quaint old English spelling. And a group of Spanish sentences which you can half translate from English to Spanish, in the list of dates, with a few names which bring up long-forgotten pictures from your high school history.
Here in another place is a confused-looking mass of mathematical signs, with strange symbols and groupings that are not clear. What does it all mean? you sigh.
