TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1914. Learning by study must be won; Twas neer entailed from son to son—Gay's Fables. THE ROOMING HOUSE PLAN All champions of student government, and especially those who remember the events of last year in that connection, will be interested in the experiment about to be undertaken by the Women's Student Government Association and the Advisor of Women. The measure of success attained by the proposed rooming-house association will indicate the feeling of the women students in regard to self government and self discipline. Some kind of so-called house government has been in existence for several years, but there has been no organized effort to establish and maintain standards of conduct among the women. It is this lack which the association is intended to supply. In addition, closer cooperation will be brought about between the body of women and their advisor, and the social life of the University will be more or less unified. The first step toward realizing the new plan is for the girls to organize in groups of ten and elect their chairmen, who will meet Mrs. Brown at an early date and perfect the organization. Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of student government! CONTROL DRAMATICS. Dramatics is a legitimate form of student activity, and should be encouraged. Its existence at the University under present conditions, however, is precarious and not altogether satisfactory. Several organizations, active only while the production is being worked up, disappear until someone comes along to re-organize them. Debts are incurred down town, and the instability of the organization does not always enable them to be paid. Why not make dramatics a University affair, like debate? Until this is done conditions cannot be materially changed. In the old days dramatics was much more important, and it would be important now if subjected to some sort of control. HOLDING CLASSES. Although school has been in session a little less than a week, some of the instructors have already begun to hold their classes overtime. It is not fair. What would happen if a student would be habitually behind time every day? The students dare not complain when class is held overtime. Walking from the second floor of the Administration Building to the third floor of Fraser in three minutes is not a feat the average student enjoys. .COMMUNICATIONS WANTED. COMMUNICATIONS WANTED. The Daily Kansan urges students to make use of its communication The paper endeavors to reflect student opinion, and wants to print ideas, suggestions and complaints from students. Anonymous communications are barred, but the name of the writer will not be disclosed if he asks it to be withheld. The free exchange of opinion on University affairs is beneficial to the institution. The big war in Europe should cause the students to regard Company M., K. N. G., with more respect and esteem. For when a war does come which will involve America, it is the men of Company M and their like all over the country that will wage war for the Republic. Oxford students in England formed a regiment to fight against the Germans. Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, is pleased with the way the women of the University respond to her suggestions. She has cause to be. Suggestions are more quickly accepted by Kansas students than restrictions on regulations. Mrs. Brown is following the right plan. One thing certain may be said of he suggested plan of enrollment by nail. It could not be much worse han the system, if it may be called hat, now in use. Our Own Budding Bards OWED TO FRESHMEN Who is this being, young and green, Who climbs the hill with timid mien And clutters up the peaceful scene? The freshman Who is the grafter's natural prey? Who throws his father's cash away on chapel ticket: (so they say)? The freshman. Who drives the rhetoric profs to drink? Who spatters walls and floors with ink Who puts decorum on the blink? The freshman. BUT who will play football next answer? And with our foes the landscape smear? Fhy, that's our little brother dear, the freshman. L'ENVOI So let us treat him like a friend, and help his little faults to mend. We'll be proud of him in the end— —Dennis Dante. BY ONE OF THE WISE ONES Ten years ago when a country dub I handled hash in a boarding-club, I had a table of faculty I had a table of facts. As worldly wise as they might be. Whenever a speaker would come to town I liked to take the discussion down. With sword to death," and "Oh humiliation." That terrible critical faculty. They were so wise that my chin would droop Now, I have travelled some since then And visited several kinds of men, And women, too, I have no doubt. One wouldn't exactly talk about. Till I noticed their methods of taking soup. Then all of a sudden they seemed to be Not very uncommonly just like me. So now when I hear the wise ones say The same old things in the same old I thank my stars that I can see The funny side of the faculty. "Go Slow" is about the best general advice that can be retained to the class of '18. To be lost in the world, you must have what can happen to the new freshman. Personal advertising has "queued" more men in the first few days of the college year than have all the other scheduled sins of omission and commission. A good man needs no advertising. If he is a good man advance noticees are neither necessary nor welcome. GO SLOW, FRESHMAN For they did keep down the weeds. —Prossey Bill. OF SOME USE, ANYHOW No more "fore" upon the campus All the golfers now have fled For the golfers played on Sunday And did other naughty deeds Had they brought their legs up The trite Wilsonian safety appli No more hissing balls go flying O'er the green on Oread ance of "watchful waiting" will save more freshmen than any other policy. After all, it is a much finer thing to be the freshman president. Oberlin Review. Kansas Classics ON MOUNT OREAD Dr. Brixton W. Woodward Verily, the State University "hath a pleasant seat." What university in all the land hath such an outlook; one embracing such a magnificent scope of country on every hand? The Loupper' damsmen'OME. The Cornell'; but this deponent, knowing naught of Ithaca, "sait not." By Brinton W. Woodward Our venerable poet, Holmes, said not long ago—contrasting in reminiscence the outlook from the Harvard of his earlier years with that now circumscribed on every hand by intrusive, neighboring brick walls—that it was a rare good fortune to a boy to be born and reared where he could have the prospect of a natural horizon. If this be so; if the daily contemplation, in early years, of pleasing and inspiring scenery will have its specific effect both inward and outward—in developing a love for the beauty and freedom of nature, and in a correlative widening of the mental horizon—the student at Kansas University are especially blessed in their opportunity. Certainly the natural horizon before them is wide enough to suggest and inspire mental "breadth of view." The similitude of a morning landscape—looking eastward—to the aspect of human life as seen from the standpoint of youth, is no doubt sufficiently trite, and yet it often comes upon the Lounger with renewed significance, as suggested by the view from this noble hilltop. Fresh and dewy, sparkling yet distinct is the foreground, as its waves of perlure swell upward to his feet. Poor the landscape spreads a fair to his vision, without shadow of cloud upon its face; but its middle distance merges with the haze that lisses over the concealing all but the tops of intervening ridges—the dim landmarks that youth intends to make upon its journey. Farther on, the broad horizon can scarce be even faintly traced, lost in the effulgent sunlight; the glance of youth radiates the bright future of Youth! There is no perspective to this picture; the glow of faith has effaced it; youth needs none! And confident Manhood; it too, scarce the want of "distance." Its landscape is symbolized by the view from the south and west windows of the University, just before noontide. A view of fertile fields and meadows to be tilled; and beyond, of stream, and if need hills to be crossed with easy endeavor to be us—beautiful slopes, graceful and noble "lines of descent" that make and mark the transition from hill to valley. How beautiful it all is; how practicable everything is; how easily accomplished! Everything is to our hand in this view; everything is possible. We reach forth our hand, and lo, it is done! Life, health, strength are ours; Nature, jocund Nature, herself is ours! Her wreath of summer flowers, her robe of summer green." "Tis in life's noontide she is nearest seen And then comes the afternoon of life. The prospect is no longer all sunshine; shadows, clouds, and sometimes the darkness of storm sweeps over it; but afterward comes a "clearing-up," with nature embracing the harms and joys that nature enhanced by the channels of experience are deepened, the springs of life revered fully, even by the storms that pass over us. Life has more significance. The tones of the afternoon landscape are more vibrant deeper; if nature more harden—if we look eastward. There is enough perspective now; the horizon begins to grow distinct and sometimes sharply defined!
