The Daily Kaman wants to picture the day when Kaman is going to go further than merely printing his Kenyan notes. He asks the University holds to give no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to solve problems to wear hats; to all, to serve the best of its ability the students of the University.

SHALL ROWDYISM RULE?
The rally Friday morning was truly a lamentable episode. The excellent beginning in the direction of law and order and a better University spirit was rudely broken. Student government, which the Chancellor has said time and time again is on trial, was literally slapped in the face.
No one would begrudge the students a rally if it were obtained in the right way. The University authorities are always liberal and sensible.
If spirit had become so great Friday that it simply had to overflow, nobody would say anything about the rally. But when there is great room for doubt as to the motives, and when rowdyism enters into it to so great an extent as it did Friday, when the whole machinery of the University is stopped by the foolish pranks of a small crowd of students who do not represent the better thinking majority, then something should be done.
It is a test for student government. If it is unable to cope with the difficulty, something to take its place should be devised.
And some of the faculty were in it too, urging it on. They deserve as much condemnation as the leaders among the students, probably more-
Students will stand behind the Council in any action taken. If they do not there should be no student government, for there can be no successful government without the consent of the governed. A government that cannot suppress lawlessness is no government.
MOUNT OREAD IN AUTUMN
Alps in winter.
Hades in summer,
But Paradise in autumn."
That's the reputation that the country around Mount Oread enjoys. It's a reputation well earned and properly sustained.
The early-rising student, if esthetically inclined, sees the heavy purple mist that hangs over the twin valleys. Kaw and Wakarusa, gradually dissolve and roll away before the coming sun. Before noon, the air is fully clarified. A snappy tang in the "pepired" ozone makes the usually languid student pick up his feet, throw back his head and feel it bring to life.
The afternoon is no time for books.
Then it is meet to take hikes, play tennis or golf, or sit lasily in the warmth of the sun watching the moleskin warriors perform their daily antics. Old Sol, who begins the day's flight with the mist dissolving magic ends in a big blaze of glory. Streaks of color shoot up from the flaming orb that relegate the descriptive powers of the most versatile of writers to the poorfarm and render the paints of the artist useless.
In the evening when the moon plays peek-a-boo with stringy black clouds, the silvery light spreads
a soft blanket over the hills and valleys. The quiet air is gently stimulated by the low tinkle of the guitar and harmonious melody of serenading voices.
Lights blink out. A dog in the distant farm yard bays at the moon. The tall trees of the campus nod and whisper to each other. The valley is silent.
AR'S APPEAL
WAR'S APPEAL
Nothing in this most amazing win is more remarkable than the persistent appeals made by the opposing nations to American sentiment, says a writer in Current Opinion for October. One might think, indeed, that the United States was regarded as a sort of world umpire in the contest, so earnest and persistent has been the effort to secure our favorable opinion. Belgium dispatched an official commission last month to lay before President Wilson evidences of German outrages in Belgian towns. Kaiser William sent to President Wilson a dispatch charging the French with the use of dum-dum bullets and defending the action of his soldiers in setting the torch to the beautiful old university town of Louvain. President Poincare, of France, sent another cablemag to President Wilson, terming the Kaiser's charge about dum-bum bullets a calumny against France made to cover the German use of such bullets and the commission of other atrocities. All of which leads the Emporia Gazette to ask:
What do they expect? Did the civilized world think war was anything but what it is—a miserable, cowardly carnival of blood—lust and worse passions? Of course they'll shoot nurses—and worse than that; of course, they'll burn towns and outrage the women. Of course they'll drop bombs and let their devilish passions loose upon every defenseless thing. For this is war. The Germans are no worse than the rest of us. When we go the limit, the limit is bad and war is the everlasting lust limit of humanity. War brings men down to the brutes quicker than whiskey, surer than women, and deadlier than even the love of money. The pomp and glory of war are vain mockeries.
BELGIAN UNIVERSITY MOVES
The University of Cambridge has held out its helpings to the hard working students.
It is thought that the cooperation of the scholars of the two universities will be of mutual benefit to both countries and that as intellectually advanced of one country to another England's hospitality will not be strained.
The migration to Cambridge may become the means of founding a permanent school; or may be an addi-
tion to Cambridge should Germany be crushed.
Scholars through England will no doubt make special arrangements to meet the needs of their unfortunate subjects, and whose desire to continue their studies.
SUNDAY: "Oh dear, this weekend's over and I must settle down to work! Don't see how I'll translate fifteen pages of French and get my history and economies by tomorrow. Why did I let him stay until ten? Did he just go on going to bed and get up early to study. Good night, Roomie.
Pandora's Box
It is understood from the invitation that Louvain is to carry on its own course of studies granting its own degrees and generally continuing its activities as at its own-foundation and Cambridge is to supply it the means for carrying on the work. Through the American Legation at The Hague the professors of the University of Delaware will be offered a home for the winter to the young children of the professors of the ruined University of Louvain. Dr Van Dyke has sent the message by two messengers over two different routes, hoping that one or the other may carry through.
MONDAY: "Why didn't some one wake me?" Now I'll be late again to psychology. I hate Monday, don't you? I'm going to study all afternoon! At least I'm not like some girls. I realize I'm up here for an education! What's that, Irene? Little Mary Pickford in 'Such a Little
A COLLEGE GIRL'S WEEK
Queen? Sure, I'll go. All my classes are lectures tomorrow except economics. Hurry up! My class is in Ad TUESDAY: "Oh, nothing's the matter with me. I just heard from the folks, and they think I'm working too hard. Honest, haven't meant to be." Honest, don't bid to 'the dansante' tomorrow to write a history brief. Dear, I wish men wouldn't tempt me.
WEDNESDAY: "I love to hear that day after tomorrow's Friday. It puzzles me where this week's gone. Can you tell me, Jo, why I was crazy enough to stay in Kat's room last night for that day of the weekend? It's. It's my turn to be called on in history today, and I haven't looked at it!"
THURSDAY: "I love to hear that kid yell! Saturday Evening Post!" It tells me tomorrow is Friday. Say, I have the best date for the Varsity! Oh, there's the whistle, and I'll be late.
FRIDAY: "Thank goodness this is Friday. I never worked so hard in my life as I did this last week. I must study this afternoon. What, he told you to make the date with me? Why can't he call up himself? Oh, I see! Ye-es, I'll go. I really need the fresh air, and it's a keen

Favorite Yarns of Kansas Professors
"A Swede was working for a farmer who demanded punctuality above everything else. The farmer told him that he must be at work every morning to get up in time, aged the farmer threatened to discharge him. Then the 'hand' bought an alarm clock, and for a time everything went smoothly. But one morning he got to the field fifteen minutes late. The farmer immediately discharged him, and then commented that his alarm clock was to blame.
Browsing Around Spooner
"Sadly returning to his room, the discharged employee determined to find out the cause of his downfall. He took the alarm clock to pieces, and discovered a dead cockroach among its works.
The pleasure - loving old city of Baden-Baden is the subject of an entertaining article by Harrison Rhodes in October Harper's Magazine. Before the Franco-Frussian war Baden-Baden was typically French being known as the French summer capital, since so many of the state officials spent their holidays there After the战 in the which France lost her two provinces nearest Germany Baden-Baden gradually took on more
For Freshman Enlightment
Essays Picked Young
A young man suffering acutely from the "worry-blues" stalked gloomily into Spooner library the other day. An hour later he came out a changed man, his step light and vigorous, his face wreathed in cream-of wheat smiles. Wondering friends inquired the source of so much joy, and learned that he had been reading George Washington Gold." It was some book, and no mistake—as Irish as spuds, though not written in unreadable dialect. He had never met a parson like the Rev. Joseph John Meldon, nor an aborigine like Thomas O'Flaherty Pat, and he had enjoyed making their acquaintance, along with that of Higginbotham, the Major, Mary Kate, and a lot of other delights. He read a jolly good yarn, such as grandfather all used to tell, and had forgotten all his troubles. He recommended "Spanish Gold" as the best possible antidote for the little blue devils.
“Well,’ he solliciized. ‘Ay tank it bane no wonder the clock wouldn't run—the engineer bane daid.”
COLLEGE PROFESSORS.
Like the famous Heinz productions,
there are fifty-seven varieties of college
professors.
There is the typical college professor, who wears thick lenses eyeglasses, and who is quite noticeably absentminded. The type who, when starting out to classes, thinks he has forgotten his watch and looks at his watch after it. There is the silent, impresses you with his solid worth taciturn man who rarely smiles, but and wonderful intellectuality. Again, we have the jovial, wholesome, type who fairly radiates good fellowship, and by his every personality encourages you to do so personally in your department. There is the thorough, scrupulously exacting, professor, who is considered "hard to get by" and who insists on punctuality and a strict compliance with
his orders; and on the other hand, we have the professor who looks over our notes and quiz books. There is also the type, who often digresses from the daily routine of his work and tells a humorous anecdote or philosophizes and moralizes on the problems of life.
The women professors have not been included in this list. They are all more or less alike, that is, they have with, few exceptions completely different quality, in their work. This may, however, be a prejudiced judgment.
Advice to Freshmen
Every normal freshman has ambitions to lead in his class and in the organizations of college life. Indeed this is a part of the ambition that carried him through high school and into college. He should cherish it.
But he will learn before completing a four years' course that honest labors is the only thing that brings leadership. True worth is recognized among University students who often complete only any other class. Other things being equal, it is the man who stays on the field after the others have gone in, or who works more diligently while there, that makes the team. It is the man who concentrates his mind—or burns the midnight oil—that make the debating squad. It is the man who knows nothing for the good of the organization that is selected to tell the others what is best to do.
No amount of self-advertisement will do what honest work will. No one cares whether you were president of your class in high school or its most insignificant member. If you did things there, keep them to
yourself, forget about them—and enter into University life. It is what you do here that counts—University Oklahanman.
Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His Son in College
Dear Boy, Though I have very little time, and though I write by this post to Mr. Marte, yet I cannot send a packet to Lausanne without a word or two to yourself. I thank you for your letter of congratulation which you wrote me, notwithstanding the pain it gave you. The accident that caused the pain was, I presume, owing to the degree of giddiness, of which I have often taken the liberty of speaking to you. The post I am now in, though the object of most people's views is business, inflicted due to me; and a certain concurrence of circumstances obliged me to engage in it. But I feel that to go through with requires more strength of mind and body than I have: were you three or four years older, you should share my troubles, and I would have taken you into my office; but I hope you will employ these three or four years so well, as to make your capable of being of use to me, if I should continue in it so long. The reading, writing and speaking the modern languages correctly; and to keep up with the nations, and the particular constitution of the empire, of history, geography, and chronology, are absolutely necessary to this business, for which I have always intended you. With these qualifications you may very possibly be my successor, though not my immediate one.

I hope you employ your whole time, which few people do; and that you put every moment to profit of one kind or another. I call company, walking, riding, etc., employing one's time, and upon proper occasions, very useful, but what I cannot do with it, nothing at all, and doing nothing at all, with a thing so precious as time, and so irrecoverable when lost.
Are you acquainted with any ladies at Lausanne? and do you behave yourself with politeness enough to make them think you must finish; God bless you.
