The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of students, and to further than merely print the news by standing for it; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to give students the university's students at the University.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1916.
IS THIS THE SPIRIT?
There are nearly 3,000 students in the University.
The seating capacity of Fraser chapel is about 800.
There were fifty or sixty empty seats at the rally last night.
Is that true support? Is that displaying a spirit that is expected to beat the Cornhuskers Saturday?
The date rule was called off in order that every student might be given an opportunity to attend the rally. Instead of doing that scores of men, who think more of having a good time than of a winning football team, took advantage of the absence of a date rule and showed their loyalty by "escorting" their "Lady fair" to a show.
Yes, wasn't it a fine display of spirit when Kansas has the best chance in years to beat Nebraska. The students who attended the rally had plenty of "the old fight" but how could the football boys, seated on the platform fail to see the empty seats right before them?
The coaches, players, and cheerleaders are all pleading for more demonstrations. The disappointment to the coaches and players over last night's rally was only too evident.
Will the Kansas spirit return?
Tonight is our last opportunity to make good. The team leaves tonight at 8:40 over the Santa Fe.
If public sentiment is **aroused**, we may lose the joy of paddling freshmen. What will the Laws do for sport? Skip pebbles on Potter's Lake?
WILL YOU HEED THE CALL?
WILL YOU HEED THE CALL?
Death from disease, cold and starvation is facing hundreds of thousands of Armenians and Syrians. Most of them are aged people, women and children. Their land has been overrun and devastated by the Turks and nearly a million of their number massacred.
The University of Kansas has been asked to do its part.
The suffering in Belgium two years ago was no comparison to that existing in the Black Sea region today.
The University responded liberally to the Belgian cause—surely it will not fail to heed this call of distress.
If you feel that you cannot afford to give anything or that your contribution would have to be so small that it would not amount to anything just bear in mind that one dollar will keep a person one month in that land.
The convocation tomorrow morning deserves the attendance of every student and faculty member who can find room in the chapel—the call is coming from a race on the verge of extinction.
Since a number of the professors still continue to disregard the fifty-minute whistle it does not seem reasonable that the students should be held to the 11 o'clock rule either.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS: PROCLAMATION.
By WILLARD WAITLES
That we remember the days of our fathers.
Here in the days of youth, superb, elate,
When skies glam golden with a kindlier fate,
Hearken and hear God's judgment on our State.
Because our fathers and our mothers paid
the bitter price, unasked and unafraid,
We shall not lose the mighty gains they made.
Like a strong man with loins girt for the race,
With quiet eyes and tense and steady face,
We wait the shout that sets the victor's pace.
Examine, then, and sponge the record clean,
Raze with white fire the ignoble and the mean—
We cannot be what our brave dead have been.
From the long grass that leans above their grave Grows the cool comfort that shall make us brave; Their folded hands have yet the power to save.
Here in the halls where youth shall congregate To the high quest of learning consecrate Great visions beckon,—greater dangers wait.
For maid and lad shall come, unformed, uncouth,
Glorying in their great gift of golden youth,—
And lies shall lurk to warp them from the truth.
Here little passions and small minds shall sway
The pushing climbers of a hectic day,
And they shall gain. . less than they waste away.
Here, those the State has honored with her trust Shall not restrain youth from its holocaust, Or obscure Truth with just a pinch of dust.
Here shall come men in condescending mood
To this high hill where once our fathers stood
Baring their breasts to greet war's fiery flood;
And they shall mouth life's meanings languidly,
Who never faced a harvest sun—and we
Learn of their sham the things we should not be.
Here, in our State, flushed with too sudden gain Stored in the bursting sheaves of yellow grain, Pride shall uprear, on sand, her towers vain.
And men and women in their cushioned cars Shall lose the honor of their parents' scars Who hitched their priarie-schooners to the stars.
Men shall begrudge, out of their garnered store,
The golden key that opens learning's door,
Finding no virtue in the ages' lore.
Then shall they die, whose children ask for bread.
Giving them stones who for the truth have pled;
For no State lives when wisdom's flame is dead.
Hearken and hear, ye who have ears to hear,
For God's wrath burns whiter and more near,
And His fail falls heavy with fear.
Hearken and hear,—little murmur runs Between the glories of the summer suns,
Like the brave flutter of faith's gonfalons.
Hearken and hear,—Across the sunset's bar,
The fiery marvel of the evening star,
There steals a whisper where, low-lying, are,
Beneath the barren acre of dead grass,
The lonely ashes of what mortal was
Before our fathers rose to lightly pass
Beyond the portal of the seeing eye Clothed all about in immortality, Showing, in silence, their children how to die.
Hearken and hear, and hearing once again
The murmur of their voices who have lain
These many years all roostless to the rain.
Take heart and know, that God is constant ever
To that high promise of their brave endeavor
Who died to set their children free forever:
And we their children from their graves arise Reconsecrate to their unwavering eyes Who won through pain the pathway to the skies.
"Live pure, speak true, right wrong; else wherefore born?"
Disregarding alike men's pity and men's scorn;
The rose is sweet, but bitter-sweet the thorn."
In a recent editorial in The Kansan it was claimed that there were few among the University people "who read deeply of the works of Keats, Shakespeare, Browning, and Shelley" Is this really true? Has the age become so materialistic that the people who read deeply are likely to be the very ones who enjoy and appreciate poetry merely take it as a necessary medicine?
Here in the days of youth, superb, elate,
When skies gleam golden with a kindlier fate,
Hearken and hear God's judgment on our State.
DISAGREES WITH THE KANSAN
To The Kansan:
CAMPUS
MISSION
A campus is defined as evidence of good faith but has not will or no publicity in the course of its operation.
CAMPUS OPINION
Perhaps there is a certain per cent who view the matter in this light but surely there is an even greater number to whom Browning's robust faith and sturdy optimism give hope and courage, to whom Shakespeare has presented pictures which throb as vital bits of life, who are inspired by
Kipling's manly verses and laugh in kindly humor and sympathy over Burns' quaint lyrics. Surely this poetry has become a part of them, more than "the dirt which polishes the plowe share".

Good people to tie to—for you and for us. More important than ever this season. Let us show you some of the benefits of your size in your kind of shoes.
