The Daily Kavanah aims to picture the lives of our students as they go to Kansas; to go further than merely print their names; to give them the University holds to play no jeers; to be clean; to be cheerful; to charisma; to be kind; to have the courage to face problems to woker heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

CHANGED SPIRIT
"Swearing is absolutely forbidden among the football players while on McCook field."—Coach Wheaton.
How peculiar would this have have sounded coming from some former coaches. Yet it is one of the first orders that the present head coach was responsible for. And the rule is being enforced.
This is but one of the many changes that the new coach has ordered but it is entirely in keeping with the general wave of reform that he has started. The difference in the team has been shown already. They are learning an entirely different style of play, but have won two games on it. Even with the new style of play there is already a unity in the team that was strangely absent last year. That is the point toward which Coach Wheaton is working and if he succeeds, as he seems likely to do, the result will be an all-viorous team for Kansas this year.
It is a theory of Coach Wheaton's that it is the spirit of the team that wins many games. It is his plan to instill the proper spirit in the team if he does nothing else in the year.
Much criticism has been heard of the game Saturday on account of the failure to make more touchdowns. Few seem to realize that the game gave the Jayhawkers just the practice that they most needed—that of getting down on punts and defensive work.
"K" WEEK
Why not have a "K" week—a week during which every possessor of, a "K" sweater in the University would wear it on the Hill all week?
Many "K" men never wear their sweaters in public, and consequently many of them are not known to those who do not follow athletics very closely. Freshmen, particularly, while they know most of the athletes by reputation, do not know them when they see them.
If everybody who owns one wore his sweater no one would feel that he was making an ostentatious display. Athletic interest and spirit would be enhanced.
Why not?
Just why students in the department of journalism should prefer college professors as a subject upon which to write pseudo-humorous editorial features is an interesting question. At least a dozen treatises on the genus professor have been written this fall by sophomores.
Attending football practice is the easiest and best way of demonstrating your loyalty to the team and to the school. It doesn't cost anything, and you will be well repaid in the loyalty you acquire and inspire.
A Daily Kansan headline announces that 1915 women singers have been selected. Too many women singers.

Yet boldly I assert

Who calls it a dancer —Kansas City Star.
I'm fair as far as fairness goes,
But I hope that wretch is stricken
With a bruised and battered nose
Who dares to call a girl "a
wonderful one."
I've always tried to seem quite cool, I much dislike to preach. But I'd gladly mawl the cussed fool, who calls a girl a "peach."
THE WORST OF ALL
I can stand the politician with his bands and windy blare; I can tolerate a lady who wears switches in her hair; I can stand a female pedagogy who takes up all one's time recounting things she doesn't like, or telling how to climb to heights on fame's tall ladder that she thinks she's gathered in—though her hair be long and stringy and her eyes chine. I see these and many men never blink an eye—watch a man with long gray whiskers use a knife to eat his pig; but there's one thing that I cannot do: I simply am not able to stand a man who retailsreams to me at breakfast table.
READ THIS. WOMEN!
But who saw it?
Fifty persons at the most
Who knew of it?
Not many more. And yet the people of Lawrence would be just as enthusiastic over a parade of this kind as they are over the night-shirt parade. Why didn't the girls go on down town? The news that they were on Tennessee street spread rapidly and we know of dozens of persons along the street there who were waiting for them. But custom got the better of them and they broke up before getting far.
It's too late now to get that parade down town but now we have another chance to let the people of Lawrence know that there are some girls on campus.
Three years ago the girls had a parade at the Missouri game. Let's have one this year and make it bigger and better than that one.

The comparative wrongs of the Indian and Negro races received proper attention, as did also the question of female suffrage, the death penalty, and the Maine liquor law. We did not discuss evolution, for evolution had not yet been evolved. Darwin was a naturalist, who taught that women and men were content to live on without searching for ancestral adornments.
(In an address before the Orophilian Literary Society of the University of Kansas, January 7, 1881.)
And so it was that the great struggle between Bar and Fulip was indefinitely postponed, and the Oroan Society became Company "K."
May I tell you a secret? It is not exactly a secret, either; but rather a memory which comes back to me tonight like the sight of a dear old familiar face. Well, once upon a time, so long ago that it seems to me now as if the Pilgrims had only recently landed on Plymouth Rock, I belonged to an Orophilian Society. I suppose we went to Plymouth Rock with lovers of learning; we too were devotees of eloquence, and worshippers of truth and beauty and philosophy. The members of our society were students in a small Western college, located in a small Western Athens, which stood somewhere—upon the banks of the River of Time. It was a beautiful village, beautiful forevermore to me for certain reasons, more or less connected with a pair of black eyes,—which have nothing whatever but will tell you confidentially, have read every word of it with evident disapproval.
But to return - to the Orophilans. I understand debate is one of the institutions of your society. It was the cornerstone of ours. At every meeting certain plumed knights stepped into the arena to do battle for truth—and the decision of the chair. We settled things so, that I fancy, in the court a petition to the judge of time. For instance, in those days, or perhaps say, up to those days—there had been a controversy, of no great consequence, but still a controversy, as to who wrote the Janus letters. We put a quiet onus that dispute, deciding that Sir Philip Francis was the man who either did or did not, write the letters, and I declare I have forgotten which. We were on familiar terms with kings and queens, until I doubt whether subtle and intricate mysteries of statecraft. Again and again the execution of Charles the First was justified; again and again it was condemned, until I doubt whether the poor man knows to this day whether his head was rightly taken off or not. We paid our respect to the man of destiny, the great Napoleon. We gave him posthumous fame and posthumous vengeance too, that if he knew nothing about him, he would have thanked his lucky stars that Wellington and Waterloo saved him from falling into our hands.
But there was one subject of perennial interest. Truly "age could not wither, nor custom stale, its infinite variety." It was the tariff question. We sounded all its depths, and, as Coleridge says, "all the depths below the depths"; but yet deeper down were other abysses, gulfs, chasms, and "cavernacles measureless to man". It was not our fault that we did not touch bottom. It grieves me to confess, but I cannot tell a lie, we left it an open question whether free trade or protection is the true policy of the Nation. From that day, it has grappled with it, have retired disfigured from a contest in which the supply of hard knocks is always greater than the demand. Only a few months ago, a brave and gallant soldier*, who had faced death for his country on a hundred battle-fields, found that the tariff was the only enemy he could not conquer.

Kansas Classics
Nearly twice as many men as women are enrolled at the University of Kansas. Of the total enrollment, 2248, 1471 are men, and 777 women.
I might tell you more of our Orophilian Society; how we elected officers to rule over us, and how sometimes the body politic were subjected to the severest strains; how, on several occasions, we were on the verge of revolution; how we wrangled and jangled over the rank and file of the society; but I must hurry on. One night we were to discuss the question, "Resolved, That the Bar affords a better field for eloquence than the Pulpit." I do not know how it would have turned out, though I suspect it would have gone hard with the Bar. But the debate never came off, for one morning we heard, "pray the Lord that we will kill of a gun, and from its iron lips we gave a summons" I pray you may never hear it—saying, Come!
