The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university to Kansas; to go further than Kansas; to go further than Kansas; to print the student of Kansas; to hold a University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to be leave; more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to take care; to truly the students of the University. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1916. MOTIVES They say, when God's great door flies open wide, At what the word "Well Done!" shall pass inside; But may not some of us, sore press, and spend. Likewise in, in God whispering low—"Well meant?" — Rollman. NOW FOR MIZZOO! Hats off to the champions of the Missouri Valley—to the team that holds the honor of being the first victor over Nebraska since 1912! Grim determination and a superior brand of football did the trick and the haughty Nebraskans were turned back in defeat. And Lindsey has a right to be the proudest man in the west and a close second should be Nielsen, Fast and every other member of the squad that beat the Cornhuskers. In addition to throwing about 3,000 students into hysteries the victory of Kansas over her hated rival will have a more permanent result. It has put K. U. once more where it belongs in football circles in the Missouri Valley, it will take some of the "cockureness" out of Nebraska, create more interest in the valley games and best of all stop the migration of Kansas students to other schools "where they produce winning football teams." While Nebraska has been trounced it will not be best for the Kansas team or the Kansas supporters to count the Missouri game in the "won" column. Not that we don't think it will be there and that by a safe margin but the fighting spirit of the Tigers is a factor not to be overlooked by the dopesters. The dope favored Nebraska and note the result. Now the dope for the big clash Thankgiving favors the Jayhawkers so get out your "Pepper-bottle" and "ginger bottle" and don't become over-confident. Be sure we make it a clean sweep. We are proud of them, every one of them, the squad of thirty-five that conquered at Lincoln. For the nineteen that stayed on the sidelines had a part just as real if not as dramatic in the victory as those who struggled on the gridiron. We are proud of our coaches. And we are proud of our University that can produce men of this caliber. K. U.-NEBRASKA A first triumph in seven years over a supposedly invincible adversary is an event in the history of any school. It is something from which other events date, forwards or backwards. It is the basis of a new calendar in the student vocabulary. Thirty-five men journeyed to Lincol last week. To sixteen of them came the opportunity to fight with all their strength and courage, to show the stuff they were made of before thousands of persons, and to have a personal share in a great victory. The other nineteen sat on the side lines, and prayed for that opportunity. Thousands of persons in two states hung breathlessly for several hours last Saturday on what these sixteen and another bunch like them were doing amidst dirt and sweat on that field in Lincoln. Two big universities showed an attentive public that education does not make for effeminacy and that the spirit of true sportsmanship is not dead. And in the face of this can there be those who will still ask if it be worth while to train and to grind, to pit muscle against muscle and will power against will-power in a game in which grit is the motive force and manhood the prerequisite? We have just and high hopes of defeating Missouri in the annual indoor track meet in Convention Hall next March But we are downright sure that we can beat the Tigers this fall while the chief Tiger, Bob Simpson, is in Europe. HEW TO THE LINE When everything is right in the world, when the day has been successful/ul, when the sun is shining bright, brighter than it has ever shown before, and your heart is bubbling over with the joy of living—then something happens; something insignificant and unimportant, but which cast a gloom over your whole spirit. Perhaps it was just a cross word; perhaps some trifling act; but nevertheless it put you out of harmony with yourself and your environment. They say it is the big things of life that count. But what influence the little things have, after all. A big undertaking sometimes falls through because of the interference of a slight adversity. But the real test of a man is whether he can push straight on toward the goal, ignoring all little perplexities in his path, the perplexities which will fade into oblivion when he has attained success. OF THE OLD SCHOOL Yes, the girls all like him and remember him, too—the fellow who bares his head and bows so pleasantly when he meets them. No, he isn't the one who lifts an index finger to his hair brim or gives an imitation of a military salute. Real military men never greet ladies in that manner. He makes one think of those courty, chivalrous gentlemen of our grandfather's time; yet he is not one whit less the man. He wins the respect and good will of his classmates, both masculine and feminine. PO'TRY Ashes to ashes. Dust to duft. Injury. Don't get you. Rook Wood must. MORE PO'TRY With thes of how easy, I hailed to hear. The composing of poetry That was saucy yet coy. But alack, when the rhymes came out in a tangle. I knew 'twas my destiny never to ramble With Uncle Walt Whitman or e'en Jingling Johnson. STILL MORE PO'TRY The Dutch, the French, the Turk, and the Russian Bear, They came by land, they came by sea, and even from the air. COLLEGE RIFF RAFF or we went to the European Fair, the nation were the citizens. The Prince of Wales, the Twin The four great events coming in the month of November this year are named by the Indiana Students as being the Thanksgiving holiday, Chicago is now being annoyed by the "wrist-watch" boy. These creatures are brought to their classes by their mama in automobiles and are taken from mama's way to play them from rubbing shows with the "Common Boy." The Ohio Lantern alphabetically re- membles that now is the time that it is made. The members of the Brick Top Club at Hamlin have petitioned the National Red Head fraternity to admit their club to its heated ranks. The co-eds at Montana have taken the initiative in doing away with dates at football games. They say they can't get their feelings with a man at their side. SENTIMENT AGAINST SMOKING To The Kansas: In an article which appeared in a recent issue of the Kansan entitled "Is Sentiment Against Smoking? the question of certain regulations and the attempts to put a stop to smoking on the campus. He said that if the majority of the students think smoking on the campus is an important thing, it is time to hush up agitation. CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed @ sentence of goodwill and will not be published without the writer's consent If such is a fact it is high time to commence agitation, but I do not think that the majority believe smoking is proper, and that public sensitization is not. There is a rule against smoking on the approaches and that it has stood for several years; that the Student Council and Chancellor have fought it, and that ninety per cent of the students that sentiment is against it. With all due respect to the writer, I merely wish to ask if I may present an opposite view. There are a few on the campus who try to strain the bounds of fair play and flaunt their contempt for law and decency in the faces of the majority, making it seem that we do not want them to their side. Now the question is, "What is fair play?" Shall we have universal cigarette smoking, making it merely optional with those who smoke whether they shall go to the extent of smoking even in class rooms? Where is the line to be drawn? Shall we look to the cigarette smoker for our standard? Only the other day we met a girl with a cigarette, the steps of a certain building and Brogan Shad Impudence, standing on the steps, puffed his cigarette smoke in her face. Because a heavy hand did not cuff him on the ear, he went on smoking, thinking it was all proper enough. Now simply because this is done with impunity, there being no system of policing or espionage feasonalism, we would be honoring, this element goes on undisturbed, thinking that it is proper and sanctioned by the University. DOES COLLEGE LIFE PAY? Fair Play Too. The following extract taken from the Christian Register briefly gives opinion of the value of college life. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, when asked fifty years after his graduation to teach, said, "I was educated." said of his college life; "The good of a college is to be had from the fellows who are there and your association with them. With a small circle of admirable friends of whom the world is by no means large, we have some of the various clubs, even in the much abused debating societies, I picked up a set of habits and facilities for doing things one has to do, for which I am very grateful to Harvard College. I disliked the drudgery of college life through and through. But, none the less, I felt that it was true that any life outside of college has yet been found that will, in general, do so much for a man in helping him for this business of living. I could get more information out of Chamber's Encyclopaedia than any man will acquire, as facts, by spending four years in any college. But the third time I met a man into a well trained gentleman is, on the whole, more simply and certainly done in a good college than anywhere else."—The Massachusetts Collegian. A VIRTUE SELDOM PRACTICED The virtue of which we speak is promptness. A dream of Utopia must disclose a state in which every meeting begins promptly on the scheduled time with all members present, and closes immediately upon the transaction of its business. There is not one of us who has not suffered agony over the dragging way in which almost every meeting we attend is conducted. The metting is always held up by the absence of some of its members. After it is called are continually coming in late, disturbing the others. At the close we cannot find a quitting point. After the business is done, we spend a half hour or so "resting in the room" or in the classes. Some students come in after the roll is called, disturbing the rest, and the professor saves his most important thought until after the bell rings. More time is wasted and more efficiency sacrificed by this slovenly habit of ours than by any other thing imaginable. The activities of the unit are shackled. A peculiar feature of this virtue of promptness is that it requires a mindful world to put into practice. Nine times out of ten there is no excuse whatever for being late to a meeting. It is a simple matter to keep one's sense of time in working order. And when the tardy one realizes that he is working an inconvenience on the organization's progress, he should be willing to reject a vice and acquire a virtue—Indiana Daily Student.
