The time has come when any further action on the football coaching question that is not directed by the authorities that manage athletics is going to do the University of Kansas more harm than good. The Kansan, as well as every one else with the good of the University at heart, regrets exceedingly the unfortunate incident of the football mixer, and believes that indulging in personalities is not going to help the situation or the University. Let's be sane. The Kansan believes that there is enough good judgment among the members of the athletic board, and among those held officially responsible for the welfare of the University, to settle all such matters to the best interest of everyone in the University. SOME COMFORT IN THIS The manner in which these clothespressing establishments have been disappearing almost causes one's breath to come out in short pants. "Eat drink, and be merry—whatever the menu may be—for tomorrow you are just as likely to get that II as if you had consumed all manner of brain foods." What joy doth the message of Professor L. B. Mendel of Yale bring to ye long-suffering students who have found it difficult to expand the lean purse around three square meals per day. Now whether or not your menu calls for peanuts and bananas or a full course of meats, vegetables, and pastries, you can be assured that the functions of the body will be cared for properly and that the brain will receive its just proportion of grey matter. The question is, then, to store, not select, if you would be successful. It matters not to the body whether you are putting up two or five dollars per week just so you get enough. A glance at the ordinary professor's bagging patellas should explain why the names of more University professors can't be found in the list of the victims of the O. P. L. pantatorium. PATIENCE A year ago the demand for Coach Frank's return was so insistent that he returned against his better judgment. Then as now public opinion was formed largely on the spur of the moment and lacked the calm deliberation that might have greatly profited the University. The ideal of a year ago is clay today. In the demands for coaching day. In the demands for coaching changes this fall not one word was heard of Frank, who gave to the University while here the best that he had not only in football but also in all kinds of athletics. It is natural for every student to desire to support victorious squads, but to get such we must also have the best of good coaching material. We will stand better chances of winning often if we but have patience and consider such matters in a cool and thorough manner. Let's stop inviting spectres in Kansas athletics by hasty action. Professor Haworth will tell oil and gas. In the present football situation the latter appears to be more plentiful than the former. DRAMA DELIVERED An appreciation of the latest feature of modern education, that of presenting the matserpieces of literature by moving pictures, was made possible this week in Lawrence when Bulwer Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii" appeared in one of the down theaters. This advanced development of the moving picture art is doing great good by making it possible for everyperson to see real classics at reasonable prices and unexcelled convenience. Now that the coaching situation has been settled the student body can turn its thoughts to dancing lessons by correspondence. NO H. C. OF L. AT MISSOURI NO H. C. OF L. AT MIDN. Reports from the University o. Missouri to the effect that the Uni- vory eating club furnishes board to the students at a rate of $2.35 a week make the K. U. students figure a little. If we could abstain from our pantatorium philanthropy and could get board at $2.35 per—but what's the use? If the expenses of an education were cut down that much K. U. would be overrun with students and the chapel would be crowded worse than ever. Besides, what would the city of Lawrence do for a living if the $4.00 and $4.50 boarding houses were compelled to close shop? The want-ad column informs that someone has lost a memorial receipt book. Doubtless there are many receipt books among the students that are held as memorials. POLITENESS President Bush of the Missouri- person who thinks it pays to be polite, "Of late I have received so many compliments on politeness of the employees of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain that I wish to express my thanks to the men for the courteous and helpful work we all do toward the patrons of the road and the general public. Every man can be polite and I am much gratified that so many of our employees are. Nothing is more helpful in securing business for a railroad than courtship, friendship, or advice who come in contact with the public, and nothing is more harmful than lack of civility in employees. Men of humor are always in some degree men of genius; wits are rarely so, although a man of genius may, although a man of gifts, possess wit, as Shakespeare. THE WHO'S WHO OF K. U. ALUMNI Charles Frederick Scott, 'S1, was fifty-three years of age last September, and is now editor of the Iola Daily Register. He is a native of a Kansas farm and an adopted politician. He served as president in position as regent of the University to accept a position at Washington. He served three terms as congressman at large, and two more as congressman from the second district. He has visited Rome, the Philippines, and Israel, and has a delegate or in an official capacity. It isn't every alumnus who is able to do this for Uncle Sam. -Coleridge. CHARLES F. SCOTT This graduate also has a master of science degree from the University of Kansas, and an L. D. from the Kansas State Agricultural College. Recent publicity was given both himself and his worthy opponent in a series of joint debates with Henry J. Allen, Progressive, which extended into six states during the last campaign. "Master of human destinies am! ! Fame, love and fortune on my foot Hovel and mart and palace—soon or late. OPPORTUNITY I knock unhinder once at every gate. If sleeping, wake—if fearing, rise Cities and field I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and pass I turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they, they, follow me, reach Mortals desire, and conquer every foo Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate. Condemned to failure, penury and use. Seek me in vain, and uselessly im- plore: CAMPUS OPINION I answer not, and I return no more." ___John J. Inralls. HONOR SYSTEM FOR DANCERS To the Daily Kansan; as much talked of "honor system?" Yours Truely. F. S. Speaking of the honor system, it locks as if the faculty has not much faith; in such a system when student conduct is involved. WHO WANTS TO ANSWER HIM? To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: If my remark is not out of order, I would like to inquire; just what is this much talked of "honor system?" E. S. This is the first year that chaprons have been required by the University Council and this year it is common talk that there are more late "tag" dances at school parties than ever before. The faculty has "heard" about what an awful thing the new dances are but still they are done right and nothing is ever said. The reason is that nine-tenths of the faculty do not know the " hesitation waltz" when they see it. If the compulsory chaperon were abolished I am sure that no one would be more pleased than the more popular of the professors who are in charge of the faculty. I have to sit up till twelve or one o'clock because some brother member of the faculty who is at home in his little trundle bed has decreed that there must be faculty chaperons at all school parties. As a member of the faculty committee I have had much difficulty in getting chaperons on this account. If the faculty has any faith in the honor system let it establish the system from cellar to garret and abolish the chapern. Try this, Oh, atmosphere is any less wholesome at K. U. without the chapern. A Dancer. ADVISES THE ORCHESTRA to the Editor of the Daily Kansas: "A seething throng of three hundred students, thunderously applauded the University Orchestra. Tuesday morning, when a program of three classical pieces was rendered." After pondering over and absorbing as far as possible the dryest of material during the week students to a large degree look for relaxation to a certain extent, in the chapel exercise room. They go to be entertained, not bored. The above humorous handling of the reception of a University organization by students is not without its moral. The established reputations of these firms are anything else are responsible for the poor and fridg attendance. Smooth runs the water, where the brook is deen; We don't mind standing for the first round of the classical music, but when you get that warm aplause and again ascend the rostrum, we all expect something more stiring than the "Soldiers Chorus by Faust." If you don't possess one of the popular airs in your repertoire give us "Boola," "Crimson and the Blue" or something along that line and you will find more of us there with a warmer greeting next time. Life is but another name for action; and he who is without opportunity exists, but does not live.
