MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1916. "Perhaps nothin' not be a lesson to tell too late."—George Eliot Adams Adobe. MAKE IT SOME PARADE Thursday morning the University of Kansas for the first time in years will undertake a spectacular football parade, with floats, marching groups, autos, and all the features of a carnival! procession. The measure of its success will determine the opinions of thousands of persons relative to the supply of ginger on the Hill. Outsiders observe such demonstrations keenly. They have no other means of gauging the temper of the student body. Every school, every class, and, if possible, every department, should be represented in the line of march. We also hope that a number of merchants will have floats. This is customary in many college towns. If we are going to have a parade next Thursday, we ought not to stop short of a real one. Our idea of an optimist is a writer who tells us how to tell a real diamond from an imitation, and informs us that the cost of living would advance another 35 per cent, all in the same breath. DEBATING December 14 has been **set** as the probable date of the Kansas-Nebraska Debate. Debating has attracted but little attention in the University of Kansas the last few years. But little publicity has been given to it and as a result the attendance at the different debates has been small. In many other schools this condition is not true. Real school spirit and real enthusiasm is displayed when rival schools meet. The school papers devote a great deal of space to the coming event. The University Orchestras co-operate by playing before and after the debates. The different school societies in many cases actively work towards increasing attendance, as well as inducing men to enter the tryouts. Such action on the part of the different class societies and other organizations of the University of Kansas would do much to place debating at this school on the plane where it once stood. Nobody fools anybody as much as she thinks she does. LIFE VS. THEOLOGY In an editorial on November 15 Lawrence paper attempts to answer the question of the reason for the seeming lack of interest in the churches and church work. The editor argues that in Lawrence, a least, the cause may be traced easily by his practice of preaching their honest conviction from the pulpit regardless of the toe they tread upon. If the cause for this lack of interest could be thus easily located the remedy would be simple. But we hardly think that the problem is so In the first place the number of ministers who preach that kind of sermon is small. In Lawrence there are no preachers; the forest is common to all the churches. In the second place those churches whose ministers are preaching this kind of sermon have by far the best attendance and show the most signs Perhaps then, the paper is right and the trouble lies with the preachers. Obviously it is not with the preachers who are endeavoring to make Christianity a vital part of every day life, but rather with those ministers of the gospel who still cling to the old orthodox theology of the church, and to the troubling vital problems which the person who is trying to live a Christ-like life must inevitably encounter in our modern complex civilization. Don't be witty at the expense of others. Be original. A QUARTERLY REVIEW Last week, which came and went much the same as other weeks are wont to do, marked the beginning of the second half of the first semester. The Laws called it the second quarter, but they are a breed entirely apart. And when we realize that this time is really gone we wonder concerning the past, present and future. What are we now? And will we reform? Remember that first Sunday night that you arrived in the city. The bunch was there to meet you. If you had no bunch you were met anyway. Next day you stood in line to enroll and watched the annual rain. The second day you were taken in hand by some professor who forced you to put your shirt down, want, and to drop all the courses that you did want. Maybe you pledged to a fraternity at the hour of ten. Maybe not. Movies and teas were popular the first week. Then you began studying after you had pledged your favorite sisterhood. Maybe not. You had your first date this week. You were a regular girl then—dating with some sororis. And so the days and weeks have gone by. Dad has sent considerable cash and you have spent more. Your wardrobe is lackluster, and you need nothing to be "out" around the first of the month. In general we may summarize: We have beaten Nebraska and Oklahoma and have had a naughty rally. A few more profs have gone to other school—selfish creatures—merely because they get salaries instead of wages. We have learned to beat the stringent date rule, which is a pipe dream but important to being in use our knowledge. We know the chancy by sight, and our class president speaks to us right along. In fact, we in a class with him. Thus it goes. We have accomplish these and hide deep plans for the future. They are. Be It Herely Resolved by I, Me, and Myself in joint council assembled, this steeth day of November that we do mean and intend to observe all rules as laid down by our senate, student council and upper- classmen; that we will beat Mizzo; that we will talk big to our repres- sentation and investment Income Bill; that we will study harder and get lower grades. Be It Further Resolved; that "pep" is still strong and will be ad infinitum. And now thanking the powers that be for all good things, we begin the second half of the semester with our hearts and our fingers crossed. Jayhawk Squawks A college man's idea of a moustache is a trifle more hair on the upper lip. The Kansas elects its editors monthly. On the other hand there are those who appoint themselves editors of the "Campus Opinton" column. Those who have made dates are loading a pair of six shooters. Meanwhile the composite student body is loading its gun awaiting the next attack. Late reports say that there won't be seating room on McCook for more than 15,000 rooters, whereas the original plans were for 16,000. That means they will be for the falcon who come all the way from Columbia to see the game. But both of the students who didn't buy tickets for the game are standing up for the weather man regardless of whether he predicts for Thanksgiving day. The Chicago man who says we ought to live on 40 cents a day might come down here and run a student boarding club. Those who went to Missouri last year are loading cannons. Debt is like a snowball. It keeps on growing the longer it rolls. Irreverence and cynicism make up the broad mindedness of fools. "Speeches that relieve one mind usually burden another."—Anon. POET'S CORNER When my farewells I said Yes—jumped the force into the corn Dead does it say it my own sweet pet, I just want you to love me. I was just real, it would be so cute and beautiful. I saw an awesome sight. For all its stars, were milky red Instead of milky white. THE PASSING OF DAISY turned away with thoughts of you who had just walked into my room, wished myself at home again and was about to leave. I turned away with thoughts of you My heart filled full with fear Between my knees the pale where played Oh Dalya! well I knew 'twas thus Far up there in the milky way I saw an awesome sight For all its stars were milky red The white streams for my ear. No call I hear distant moan No more rough and bruised growth Ft stumbling search for you And curse you deep for all that cow sweat. Oh Dalys! dearer thou to me Than to the gods thy isles Who dying sank upon their knees And he would cry, Let any say I loved thee not. Before the altar dres. Let any say I loved thee not. I tell them they are liars. THE COLLEGE IDEA Every man in college should begin in his freshman year to take part in some college activity outside of his home. You can do that with his college career. By so doing the students become better acquainted with each other and become broader so that they are more nible and better to go out into the business world. The old idea that a college is a place where one goes to study and nothing more, is generally dying out and the new idea that other activities count for as much as the studies have been taken up most strongly by the men who belong to the different organizations of the college, but the truth of it should be realized by other students as well. Every man should get everything possible out of his college life and in order to do this he must also work than that offered by his courses of study.—The Bachelor.
