UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Kannon aims to picture the kind of students she knows to go further than merely printing the new material. She holds hands to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be responsible for problems to water heads in all, to serve to show her ability the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1914.
WILL YOU BE THERE?
Tonight, in the F. A. U. Hall, the first indication of the spirit that will be behind the team next year will be shown. It will be a prophecy for the next season, an endorsement of the one just closed. It is an opportunity for students of the University to disapprove the charges that they lack pep, and do not support the team.
And the program will be worth while-smokes, eats, and entertainment, for a quarter. An evening pleasantly spent is easily worth that.
Let's show the team that we are with them.
CONCERNING L. C. W.
Good evening, have you used L. C. W.? Then you know that miserable sticky feeling that comes of having washed in two cups of cold water. You are beginning to realize the luxury of being able to wash as often and as much as you want to; of being able to swim in the bathtub just whenever the spirit moves you. Doesn't it make you anxious to get home, wherever you may live, that you can splash to your heart's content in clean warm water? Just think of it!
There's more than one side to the water question. If your landlady is a law-abiding person, you are now drinking cooked water, mixed with dirt and dead germs. A little dirt isn't necessarily fatal, and dead germs, when strictly fresh, are not even disagreeable. But if you take a pitcher of boiled water upstairs tonight and let it stand till tomorrow night—well, you will probably rush down town and paw your jools so you can patronize the distilleries. Yes, that sounds shocking, but all citizens of Lawrence will know what we mean.
And speaking of citizens of Lawrence, what has become of those public-spirited ones who went around on their left ears all last summer and were wet foot on the trail of the water company? They talked of buying out the water company, of building a city plant, of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings. Presumably they are still talking.
WE WANT MAUDE ADAM $ ^{\circ} $
Kansas University has just cause to be proud of the excellent concert courses and numerous first class speakers that are heard on the Hill every year. But there is yet something to be attained. At the University of Indiana, for instance, Miss Maude Adams appeared recently in her new Barrie play, "The Legend of Lenora," putting up with considerable disadvantages because of her fondness for playing to University audiences.
Now Kansas isn't so much farther from civilization than Indiana, and we will venture to say that if Miss Adams were to come out here she would lose nothing by the trip.
Here is a chance for our ever watchful extension division, or for the School of Fine Arts, or somebody, to show their enterprise and win the gratitude of students and town people alike.
A CHANCE FOR THE STATE
If the citizens of Lawrence are incapable of providing the University with water, and they very evidently are, the state should see to it. The state should likewise see to it that the 2500 students are not menaced with impure water.
Is this supposed to be funny? The Oreand Mag announces that it will make its first issue a "humerous" number.
Get out your snow shovels! Ten buckets of snow, when melted, will make one bucket of soft water.
The First Duty of K. U.
Scholarship at the University of Kasaa has improved 9.49 per cent this year over last, according to the annual report just issued from the registrar's office. "Maybe that has something to do with the failure of the football team!" says Charley Scott.
To which the Gazette desires to say Amen in all the ennermess of a passionate nature. A lot of human clothes racks with nothing in their heads but veal kidneys, are sent to the University by deluded parents who think that the institution can replace brains for tripe. These young fellows believe that the first duty of a university is to play football. They want a short term sporting coach who will teach them to win before teaching them to be square players and good students.
They want the Kansas City game, which is a big drunk, with a visit to the Kansas City houses of prostitution after the game; and also those who want to be turned into an adjunct of the football team, and the dancerell and the faculty to devote their entire time to kowtowing and scraping the buttons off their vests and on their turn-tums o the team
These tinkoff sports compose an infinitesimally small minority of the great student body at the University. The student body at the University is as earnest and intelligent a student body as there is in the world. Foot-printing is essential to healthy activities. But the noise of the minority is heard, while the opinions of the silent, hard-working student body are not heard. But the noise these oball enthusiasts are making is hurting the University. What parent cares to send his son or daughter to a school that will fill up the pages of newspapers with a house? How much pressure is put on the impression goes out that the school merely is the meal ticket of some sporting goods house.
The chancellor and the faculty of the University are doing a great work in K. U.; but the stupid noise of the football rooters in the newspapers is undoing much of the good effort being made by the University about the splendid scholarship that is developing there.

Campus Opinion
WATER AND STUDENT HEALTH
to the Editor of the Kansan:
Just keep on hammering, hammering away! It's not knocking when we object to the water supply furnished the University. Students bring a million dollars every year to Lawrence and the people of Lawrence are too poor to spend $7 per day necessary to supply good water, for at this cost the red slime can be taken out of the water by means of a filtration plant, according to Prof. C. C. Young of the water laboratory.
Will it take a typhoid fever epidemic, with a toll of human lives, perhaps, some of them students, to wake up people to the danger? You can sweeps over Lawrence, who but a niggardly citizenship that slept peacefully on when the danger flag gave warning! Does Lawrence owe anything to the hundreds of young who come to college here? Does it?

"And this raincoat," asked the stu-
denter, "is it absolutely
waterproof?"
"Yes; it is what we call waterproof, but practically waterproof."
"I will give you my check; while it is not absolutely good, it is what you may call practically good."
"And its pr Ten fifty."
Books You Should Read
William S. Johnson, associate professor of English Literature, makes the statement that college students considered as a body, are not familiar with present day writers and their works.
Mr. Johnson declares that most students in literature consider it something that existed in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They do not seem to mind this, and no requisite to good literature. A knowledge of present day writers is desirable, and can be obtained only by a careful study of them. In view of this fact Mr. Johnson has presented the following list of authors and their important works, as a guide to those who would become acquainted with the living authors;
Poets: Alfred Noyes—"Drake, "Tales of The Mermaid Tavern," The Barrel Organ," The Everlasting Crown," The Tramp Transfiguration"; John Massefeld—"The Everlasting Mercy," The Murder of a Old Warrior," Wordworth's yard," In Laleham Church-yard," The Great Misgiving"; Robert Bridesges—"Shorter Poems"; William Butler Yeads—"The Wanderings of Oisin," "The Isle of the Inisfree"; William Wilfred Gibson—"Broad Breath," The Warrior; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvey," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballads," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballads," Ride the Resplendent; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvey," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballads," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballads," Ride the Resplendent; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvey," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballads," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballads," Ride the Resplendent; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvy," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballades," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballads," Ride the Resplendent; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvy," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballades," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballads," Ride the Resplendent; Ballads of East and West," "Leenvy," "Mandalay and Other Barrack Keem Ballades," "The Pioneer"; William Vaughn Moody—"Daguerreotype," "Gloucester Moors," "An Ode in Hesitation," "The Brute"; Stephen Phillips—"Marpeston Ballade
Novelists: Joseph Conrad—"Youth," "Lord Jim," "Chance"; Maurice Hewlett—"Richard Yea and Nay" "The Forest Lovers"; Arnold Schiller—"The Wizard of Oz"; hanger; "The Price of Love"; H. G. Wells-"Mr. Polly," "Kippus," "The New Machiaewell"; Eden Philpott—"Children of the Mists"; Rudyard Kirk—"They"; "The Brushwood Boy," "The Man Who Would be King."
Essayists; G. L. Chesterton—"Heresity"; A. C. Benson—"The Upton Letters"; G. Lowes Dickinson—"A Modern Symposium," "Letters from a Chinese Official"; Woodrow Wilson—"The New Freedom."
Foreign Writers: Tolstoy—"Anna Karenina," Dostoevsky—"Crime and Punishment," Strindberg—The Father," Hauptmann—"The Weavers," Materliewicz—"The Blue-Bird," Teckoff—"Tales of Russian Life."
A SCOTCH PRAYER
The attitude of belligent nations toward God is shown in this story of an old Scot who, just before an important battle in one of the wars between England and Scotland praved like this:
This is told by a K. u. professor who omitted for the sake of neutrality;
You can't call up central now to find out what time it is. The days are so much shorter, the operators haven't enough time to tell.
Student (after studying the theory of evolution)—I don't believe that man is descended from the ape; I just one of man's poor relations.
"O Lord, aid us in the battle! But if you won't be on our side please stay out of it altogether and we willlick 'em anyway."
A conductor who makes two trips to the Hill every morning—one at that spot and one at the says that on the first trip carries the works, and on his last, the shirks.
Freshman—"I wish, dear, that we were on such terms of intimacy that you would not mind calling me by my first name."
