The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate Life of the Kansan than merely printing the student than merely printing the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gracious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to understand; to qualify the students of the University.

NEBRASKA NEXT!
NEBRASKA NEXT!
"On to Nebraska!"
The Ichabods have been met and conquered by the Jayhawk. The men from Washburn put up a valiant fight, but Kansas skill and beef was too great for them, and they lost.
This game was merely an incident, a practice,—with all due respect to the Ichabods—in the march on Nebraska, for the Missouri Valley Championship, for the Kansans are not yet out of the race for that coveted thing. If the Huskers and the Tigers are met and defeated, why certainly the Jayhawkers will have the championship.
"What!!" you may say, "Do you really think that Kansas can beat Nebraska and Missouri?" "Assuredly!" will come the answer. "The coaches have declared that the men have hit their stride, and if they play as they did against the Sooners, there will be two more great victories added to the credit of the Kansas team—and the Championship!"
If the men play against Nebraska as they have played in the last few games, the Cornhuskers will go down to defeat. The Kansas spirit is: Never give up! Always fight! Back the team and it will win.
Add high cost of dying: The price of coffins has increased.
WHO WAS ASLEEP?
More than one man of national reputation has passed through Lawrence, spent several hours in the city, and left without being invited to speak before the University. The question was repeatedly asked this fall when Vice-President Marshall passed through, why a special convocation was not called and the University given an opportunity to hear the presiding officer of the United States Senate. The same question was heard when Senator Wadsworth, Root's successor in the Senate, was in Lawrence.
A committee with the authority to call convocation at any time, a committee with the nerve to overlook the criticisms of those members of the faculty who so begrudge the loss of ten minutes time from the class, would doubtless result in bringing before the student body a great many men in public life who, under the present arrangement, could never appear.
THE REAL TRUTH OF STUDENT
ALIKE
LIFE
When a country newspaper, or an old fogy who is opposed to education—high, low, or intermediate—wants to refer to the University—or, for that matter, to any college—nine times out of ten the reference will contain something about mandolins, cigarettes, and raising Hades. And exactly one hundred per cent of such "would-be critics" never saw the interior of a student's room on a week night, and few of them have ever been in a college town.
Education need not stop within the walls of the University. A course in actual conditions here would be ime
mensely beneficial to numbers of persons over the state. All they ever hear about college is concerned with the spectacular side of the life—football, rallies, expulsions, and disagreeable incidents.
Hence their erroneous conception of college life. Hence their opposition to the mill tax. And the students themselves contribute to the unfavorable sentiment. When they are home they talk athletics, shows, dates,—everything but the real, serious business for which they are here, and which most of them accomplish in a creditable manner.
As long as the state as a whole is not informed of the fact that there is real work of a worth-while character performed here, the University need look for no more generous treatment from the legislature.
And what has become of the student of former days who left college "on account of weak eyes?"
THE COLLEGE SNOB
Have you ever noticed that particular, self-satisfied, haughty type of human being that inhabits the Hill. This type of human is commonly known as the "snob."
Yes, he or she, as the case may be, may be the best dressed, the best looking, and perhaps the best dancer. But usually this is a very thin veneer and one may easily ascertain the 'eal material underneath.
With this polish rubbed off, there would be very little left. But the pitiful part about this matter is the fact that the snob never realizes how he is really looked upon by his associates. He successfully "kids" him into believing he is "all in all."
The thought of helping others and of developing a spirit of good fellowship with other students never occurs to him. He is a mere spectator to school life and is entirely satisfied with his own crowd and his own self. He thinks more about the latest cut of suits than he does about school affairs. It would be better both for the individual and the University if this type of human was extinct.
THE NEWS IN RHYME
the Jayhawk bird has gone and rushed
A Washburn expedition;
and Republicans are somewhat
frowned
They might as well go fainn'.
The train brought back our soldier.
With life and drum we met it.
Though Tigers boast "Jayhawk on
the wall."
I hardly think they'll get it.
A dollar and six bits for wheat
Must burn the farmers' fingers
But still North Hall about to fall
Refrigerates our singers.
Our chances in the pigskin sport
Are looking bright, by golly;
Thus Huskers hope they've got out
We're sure to jerk their trolley.
The mill tax is a hot issue
We need the mon 'that's' certain;
the teacher's wage
'a nice for teachers,' (Curtain)
The Indiana Student has come to the conclusion that we are right in calling college freshmen "raw-raw" boys.
The Varsity pooh-pooh K.U.'s idea of dateless football. "At Toronto the women do not object to their escorts because they root wildly themselves sometimes."
COLLEGE RIFF RAFF
A class of sixty girls in a class in home economics at the University of Wisconsin have figured that a couple should be able to live on $500 a year. Some students say they must be "the older girls" whose hopes are getting faint.
The Varsity defines football as an effort on the part of 44 shinguards to occupy the same space at the same time.
"Yeth, muver," they go to Oklahoma 'versity.' —Oklahoma Daily. So K U. isn't the only one.
"Yes, dear, and do you know when people who do wrong go?"
The Indians Student is of the opinion that somebody ought to write a good snook story about the other end of a perfect day.
H. R.
The Baker range declares that Washburn won the annual football game on "circumstantial evidence."
Big Women's Rally Wednesday announces the Daily Northwestern, and the Indiana Student asks when the little women's rally will be held.

(Overheard on Adams Street this morning.)
Charles Brickley, the famous Harvard football player, is coaching Boston college gridiron aspirants.
Self-inspection without self-explanation, is the tantalizing burden of the mind. It "it is its own palace" and contains within itself the power to "make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"; its task is apparently to assign cause to events that can never endlessly conflict with all, it slowly conquers all until that time when it falls fascinated by its own fascination—then it stops.-Washington Daily.

THE FERRY-BELLS
The ferry slowly merges from the dark.
The river's fogs, I wist;
Towering bells, among singing bells
Of Death, the Melodist;
That melt into the mist;
The toling of their tongues disnels
The nearing shore-line sings with siren shells;
siren shells;
Beyond the mists—where spirits dis-

beyond the 'mins'—where spirits use

Might as well try to capture the beauty of a sunset as to attempt to fathom the mind. Its vitality is infinite, its extent is infinite; its nature is infinite. The mind of reasonable man halts no problem except the solution of itself. It may be turned upon itself from every approach, but still it leaves itself unsolved. If it evolves a false philosophy, however, it has the power to glimpse, phonizeilize, a new philosophy among the shattered ruins of the old.
The most interesting study the human mind has found in its infinite search is the human mind. Nature possesses no other entity so full of mystery, so completely fascinating, so little understood, and yet so teeming with the possibilities of the future as the unknown power which presides over our present welfare and our sure destiny
Vibrate the peacans of the ferry-bells:
The ferry-bells, the ferry-bells
That disengage the mist;

Enthusiasm, like college spirit, is measurable. Just as the latter can be estimated by a man's actual participation in various activities, so is the quantity of the former to be judged by his participation in that most tangible evidence of enthusiasm, the mass meeting. That genuine enthusiasm, he it for this sport or that, is what makes such participation as as inconceivable as would be the existence of college spirit without any activities to tynify it.
Knowledge is generally considered an asset, but there are times when its value as such is extremely doubtful, to say the least. This is particularly true in the case of the man who fails in the ground that he knew exactly what is going to be said and done. He contends that one mass meeting is very much like the other, which is more or less true. He further contends that, being enthusiastic, there is no need for him to attend a meeting whose primary purpose is to rouse enthusiasm. In this case it is wrong. But his audience is clearly wrong, most every undergraduate who absents himself from mass meetings.
Ethnismus is not a dormant quality; it would be hard to define just what it is. But this much is certain that ethnismus exists only where it is evident in tangle form. Or does it refuse to avoid mass meetings or ground that he is ethnistic think otherwise?—Columbia Spectator.
Theorists have sprung up in every age and in every division of every age to explain the mind. They have puttered some little time in the wallled city of one philosophy or another, "but evermore," like the shrewd old Omar, stitcher of tents, "came out by the same door where in they went."

UP COMES THE MIND
One never can tell the sociological possibility of some little thing that seems hardly worth the saying. Thus if you say, "He swears like a pirate," you are not sociological. But suppose you pull yourself together and say: "Profanity in that it relaxes the inner tension by a sudden nervous discharge and offers a means of escape from social inhibitions, is, when phylogenetically considered, nature's method under the conditions of modern civilized life of providing an outlet for the need to learn about an earlier period were apt to take more socially injurious forms, such as piracy." You will then be taken for a sociologist. I do not say you will really be a sociologist, but you will look like one, especially if you add a bibliography.—New Republic.
