Published in the afternoon five times a day, in the Rama's journal, from the press of the department Entered as second-class mail matter September 15, 2006. Kansas, under the set of March 3. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the nature of a man. To do this, he must know the necessary Kansas; to go further than merely print the names and titles of the people he knows; to play the roles to play no quarries; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to have an interest in problems to water heads; in all, to serve the best; to ability the students of the school. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11, 1914. ON TO LINCOLN! The Kanaas-Nobraska game next week will be by all odds the biggest game in the Valley. The eyes of the football world will be focused on Lincoln, for it is probable that the game Saturday will decide the Missouri Valley Championship. The undefeated Kansas team will invade the Cornhuskers' home with a determination to keep the record clean, and a determination to wipe out the sting of past defeats. There is plenty of pep, and a big crowd will go to Nebraska. Everybody who can, should, for the team needs support, needs backing, from every student. The struggle will be titanic. KEEP TO THE RIGHT! Great confusion often results at the doors of buildings between classes, with large numbers of students entering and leaving. This could be obviated if all students would adhere to the rule of the road, and keep to the right. With everyone going in the same direction, there would be no tiresome waits nor confusion. The same thing applies to the use of the stairs. In the Administration Building, where the crowds are particularly troublesome, students going to the second and third stories should use the north stairs for ascent, if they would adhere to the unwritten law of keeping to the right. BEGIN REAL WORK With a large number of county clubs organized, the need for a central organization is great. The individual clubs will do all in their power to accomplish the purpose for which they were formed, the creation of sentiment in favor of the mill tax, but they can accomplish much more if directed by a central body, which can attend to the preparation of literature, and can plan uniform campaigns. The work of creating sentiment for the mill tax is not the work of a day nor a week, but of weeks and months. Sentiment does not grow over night. It is a gradual process, and it takes constant reiteration. GOOD WORK! The freshmen women have elected officers to attend to the women's social affairs in the class, and deserve compliment for taking the lead in a creditable movement. Women at other schools are organized. At Kansas they are notably disorganized and have too few student activities. The freshmen's action is a good one. PLEDGES ARE DUE! Red Cross and White Cross. pledges are payable at the office of the Registrar, or to any member of the committees. The request for payment should meet with immediate response. No one who has pledged will not pay, but there will be a whole lot of delay that could be avoided. The committee has gone to a great deal of work in collecting the funds, and their work should be made as light as possible. "He who gives • quickly gives doubly." Missed by the Oread Board of Censorship L. H. G. A. Good morning; have you been to chapel yet? "Sleep," remarked Cervantes, "is the best cure for waking troubles." It is our theory that eight o'clock is best cure for chapel attendance. Now that morning classes are half an hour later, some of our fusers are urging that the ten-thirty rule be discarded until eleven o'clock. European travel must be pretty hard on old Charon's barge these days. "Nebraska expects to win"—Headline. So did the Philadelphia Athletics, and Hodges and Allen and Murdock.

"OWED" TO THE CORNHUSKERS Bury Nebraska out in the woods in a beautiful hole in the ground; where the woodpecker pecks, and the bumble bee bums, and the straddle-bug straddles around.

Whereupon Miss Hoopes Whooper Said a bona fide sophomore to a genuine freshman: "Who's your rhetoric instructor?" "Hoomes." "I see where you go round and round."

Newspaper Style and English There are some people in this world who carry with them an air of literary superiority that they are not entitled to and have no right to flaunt. These persons are willing to publish newspapers in the news, they find a typographical error or a hurried caption on a news article. They do not take time to consider the great haste and strain under which a newspaper is made and the many possibilities for mistakes. But they hasten to pour ink over documents and formation of literary style attained by their favorite authors and many lamentes that newspaper English has fallen to a pitiful level. The probability is that the authors to whom these literary cads refer owe their success in literature to a long grueling time to hold a place in popular favor because they write in a true journalistic style. Thackeray was a newspaper writer and magazine contributor before he became a novelist. He wrote at a time when conciseness and directness was not known in journalism. News could not be had in the quantities it can the present day and reporters were forced to pad their stories. Had Thackeray received a modern newspaper training, the probability of "fair" or "fair" and "Harry Esmond" would have been told in half the words and, from the standpoint of the reader of today, far more attractively. Dickens, like Thackeray, wrote at a time when the necessity of boiling down stories to essentials had not arrived. Many have no time to read Dickens because they do not care for his padding. They want stories more condensed and direct. They want stories that are marked by careful elimination of the superfluous. In the present day of journalism, elimination of the unimpoant is an absolute necessity. The list of successful writers trained for literature by news writing and who continued to use a journalistic style, might be indefinitely extended. William Dean Howells was the first writer trained in a news style of writing. Mark Twain was a printer's "devil" before he began steamboat piloting and later became a reporter in Virginia City and San Francisco before he began a literary career. Brett Hewlett worked as an investigator after he had served an apprenticeship as a reporter in California news offices. Kipling is a notable example of a journalist in literature. While reporting for Anglo-Indian papers, he developed a strong, tense, direct style that has served to make him one of the greatest writers of compact stories. O. Henry, who moved to a position at the best of writers, clearly illustrates the power of newspaper style in literature. Irving Cobb, Jack London, Richard Harding David, Alfred Kennedy Lewis, Mary Roberts Rhinehart, etc. all serve as examples of reporters and news writers in present day literature. The tendency of contemporary storytelling is toward the story and the newspaper office has served as one of the best schools for producing writers in this line. There is no more forceful or attractive way of telling a story than in newspaper style and English. Simplicity, directness, sincerity are demanded. The literary caddies who go into writing and English do not understand the meaning of the words, or perhaps are unaware that they are ignorant—Daily Illini It leachd me into the paths of ridicule for its name's sake; yea, though I ride through the valley I租e wipe up the hills, for I fear much evil. it. It maketh me to lie down beneath it. Thy rods and thy engines discomfort me. PSALTER The Ford is my auto; I shall no want another. Anything worth while is in this world for a purpose. The Men's Student Council is undoubtedly worth while, and according to Article II of its constitution the Council, along with other objects, promotes a closer union between the various schools of the college, and prepares to motivate a closer relationship between the members of the faculty and the student body. I amount thy tires with patches and my radiator runneth over. Surely, if this thing follows me in the bughouse forever. I repair blow-outs in the presence of my enemies. It soureth my soul.
