The author is the de- partment of Kansas, from the press of the De- partment of Kansas. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of one more, further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1916. THE NAUGHTY RALLY For participation in the Naughty Rally, eight students have been suspended from the University for the entire semester. It is not claimed that they were instigators of the demonstration, or even ringleaders. Members of the senate and disciplinary committee freely admit that the culprits were merely eight of the several hundred who swarmed across the campus the morning of October 27. The only difference seems to be that they happened to have their names handed in and, when brought before the Inquisition, were men enough to admit that they were in the crowd. According to the secretary of the senate, there are no specific charges of misconduct, such as violence to persons or property, against the eight. Only two so much as had paddles in their hands, according to the testimony. The accused were not even given the right to be faced by their accusers. They were simply ordered to appear and show why they should not be punished—a la middle ages. At this point the Daily Kansan wishes to make clear that it does not in the least defend the Naughty Rally. This paper has repeatedly condemned the practice of breaking up classes, and championed enforcement of discipline. Violations of discipline must be punished. But the Daily Kansan also believes in justice. It believes that there should be some reasonable relation between the size of the misdemeanor and the penalty. It does not believe in inflicting an onerous punishment altogether out of proportion to the seriousness of the offense. And the Daily Kansan further believes in prevention as well as punishment. A man must needs be guilty of a grave act of misconduct to be thrown out of school for an entire semester. No move was made to forestall the rally. A similar outbreak occurred two years ago. Another almost happened last year. Yet in the face of this, University disciplinarians slumbered smugly until— The inevitable came. Then they were ready—with the club. The Kansan does not accuse the disciplinary committee of personal prejudice or intentional injustice. But it does believe that they allowed their zeal for enforcement of discipline to run away with their best judgment. We are informed that the "alumn came pouring in" last Thursday What did they pour? WHY NOT? Why not a whistle at 1:20 in the afternoon as well as 8:20 in the morning? It may be a deplorable fact that students need to be warned ten minutes before class time, but it is handy. The one objection to the whistle at 1:30 is that it corresponds to the warning whistle in the morning and not to the call to classes at 8:30. If we are striving for uniformity and system—as it stands we have a warning whistle before every other class—why not a warning whistle at 1:207 Since classes have been moved from eight to eight-thirty it allows only an hour for lunch, and many of those who have six and eight blocks to go find the warning whistle a good reminder to start back on the hill.

APPRECIATION One of the greatest arts any one may possess is that of appreciation. Very few people appreciate what other people do for them. Some people stand around waiting to be looked after and expecting favors to be showered upon them. The art of appreciation and the art of expectation do not always go hand in hand. Then there is the other type of individual, the one who thanks you very kindly for the smallest favor. We should not do for others with the sole idea of retribution, but just a smile or a nod, or some slight way of showing our appreciation, finds such a quick response in another's nature. One's whole outlook on life may be changed by a kind act, or letting some one know that you appreciate a kindness. One of the greatest things in life is to do for others, but it is just as great to appreciate what others do for you. THE WAGGING TONGUE Who thinks much of the fellow whose tongue is everlastingly warging, who sees to it that he gets the last word and to the majority of every conversation, who is inconvinced and able to make sense of his ideas, that the recognized authorities and every one who thinks twice before he speaks fades into insignificance in the mind of the gabbler. Of all the gas bombs that were present in existence, the wangging tongue is Beekebob's masterpiece—The Midland. SCRIBISH SCRIBBLINGS "After all," said a K. U. student recently, consoling himself over the Thanksgiving tragedy, "doesn't he realize to accommodate for a Jawahk to twist a Tiger's tail?" Add local humor: Kansas City papers attribute gas shortage there to the excessive amount Lawrence takes from the mains. We are still seeking the parties who declared the date rule off the same night as local astronomers announced a meteoric shower. "K. U. boarding clubs," says a four-year student who ought to know, "are the only sure anti-fat remedy I know." Too many folks consider praise the only just comment. It is a matter of observation that the arrival of a box from home will be affected. The call for Armenian relief and the boost in the price of sundaes and picture will work a hardship on those allowances are strictly watched. A certain student's anxiety to see the Sour Owl said it reminded him of the Law student who upon engaging a room with bath at a city hotel sat up half the night wishing it was Saturday. Among the arguments presented by the naughty rallyers it is only natural to ask if the right of pursuit of happiness was brought forward. Having nothing else to do, critics try to see who can expose the biggest success. The Deutschland sank a tug. Even peaceable submarines can't keep out a torpedo. The "wettest block" in Lawrence is down in the river. Has the cost of Tiger meat advanced yet? “When a man is in love with one woman in a family, it is astonishing how fond he becomes of every person who says to it: “Thackeray's ‘The Virginians.’” A complete set of "Catalogue Studies" have been added to the Sibley College Library. This set contains the complete literature of the printed materials in the catalogue and chandise in the United States. There are forty-seven volumes in the set. CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent At last another great reform wave is surging over Mt. read and this time the target of the reformers is the Frost cap coupled with the time honored practice of paddling yearlings Like all efforts of this kind, it is gainful and impetus but how well it will succeed, remains a matter of conjecture. OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION to the Kansas; However, the campaign has a few very interesting features. In the first place all the howl is being raised by uninterested parties. Although the freshmen are the most vitally concerned, or at least should be, when it is considered that they have to understand "whereshelf hotdogs" referred to by the reform league, they have thus far said nothing official. In fact the freshmen are, and always have been, satisfied. It was by a vote of the freshman class that the caps were worn and if a vote were taken today, the freshman would decide to continue the cap tradition. The complaining element seems to be composed of local pastors and a few faculty members. Surely if the freshmen are satisfied these other parties have no room for objection. And in regard to "what they do at other schools.' It has been said that in the East, hazing has been done away with, along with a number of other harbors customs. Has it? A student who recently visited a number of large schools in the East as a student in a school with paddling bridege is a mild form of discipline compared to that in vogue in schools at which he visited. And now as regards paddling. No one has suffered any injury from it and there are innumerable instances where it has accomplished some good. Faculty men are continually complaining that K. U. has not tolerated "like they have in other schools". Paddling is one of the few traditions, so why should it be done away with? At last, but not least, it is something decided upon by students, supported by students, and which effects no one but students. Therefore does it behove outside parties to become so deeply concerned over this matter which is a trifle outrage, midlife-age women are being looked for there are others of greater import which can be discovered. Let well enough alone. LET GEORGE DO IT? Hawk Squak. POET'S CORNER "You have to have a part, to make a hit." This is true not only on the stage but in college and in life. The man who stands back and says, "Oh well, let George do it," rarely makes a hit. For George is usually able and confident. He may not do it as well. He may make blunders and mistakes. But that is no crime. The world is governed by people who make mistakes. SO? The editor of the Kansas notes of the Kansas City Star takes the trouble to point out that the Daily Kansan is distinctive in that it has a Sports Editor while most papers are content to have a Sporting Editor or a Sport Editor. We rise to remark that the Sports Editor is the proper title, although some papers can boast of a Sports Editor. It is immaterial with us, for at the present time our Sports Editor may well be termed a sporting Editor. WONDERING 'Jes' a sittin' here at night A thinkin' lots of things Wonderin' what the folks at home Are doin' long 'bout now; Wonder if they all are there What a lot of different thots An hour like this one brings! Wonder if my best girl is home Or if she has a date Wonder if they all are there They sure are, I vow. With one of the fellows in the town And if she's stayin' out late. I have at 8 o'clock. I've wasted all my time right here And I've myself to knock. —Daily Nebraskan. Sing a song of autumn Of wienie roasts and hikes, When we eat a lot of things, That everybody likes. Wonder if I'll flunk that quiz I have at 8 o'clock— Wonder if my dad n'd send That check I want next week, Or if I'll have to soak my watch To settle those who seek. CLASS TIME ON THE HILL Wonder if my dad'll send AUTUMN Tis a fearful thing in K. U. To be piled up high and fast, And to hear our legislature Thunder! "Cut away the man Like a flock of weary sheep; It is class time on Mount Oread, And a prof is talking deep. And to hear our legislature Thunder: "Cut away the mast!" We are crowded in a class room, Like a clack of wavy chonk. So we shudder here in silence, And we sometimes hold our breath While our governor is campaigning And our mill tax faces death.
