Henry. Society reporter, Lucile Hildinger. Self-trust is the essence of herosim —EMERSON. A LONG-SUGHTED POLICY Chancellor Strong's expression of a desire for permanence in the University coaching staff should meet with the approval of those who wish to see Kansas kept on the football map. Anyone who knows football at all knows that it takes time—more than a year or two—to build up a winning combination. Moreover, it takes oneness of purpose and harmonious cooperation on the part of the coaching staff. Pas de lieu Rhone que nous. The time for less meddling on the part of loyal and disappointed but short-sighted followers of our athletic teams is at hand. At the same time Coach Moss's reputation in Missouri Valley football certainly deserves more judicial consideration than it has received since the Missouri game. Let's have one system of coaching consistently and harmoniously followed out, leaving talk to talkers and coaching to coaches. Do you speak French? Then rea this sentence and see if you can paddle your own canoe. Do you live Rhone que nous. A GIRLS' MEMORIAL The men of the University leave memorials for the students who come after them in the way of athletic honors, broken records, and victorious teams but what do the women leave? Nothing. They are almost forgotten as a class the moment they get through. This year why shouldn't the girls all get together under the supervision of the W. S. G. A. and raise money to buy some visible or audible memorial, so that in after years they will be remembered? How would a set of chimes do? "Taxidermists get big golden eagle," reads a headline. So do taxi-drivers. In looking over the student directory, we find a "Priest" and a "Levite" from Wichita. Now, from where will the "Good Samaritan" come? NINE RAHS FOR THE TYROS "He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill." This quotation from Burke could be appropriately applied to the freshman football team of this year, which worked so faithfully this fall in preparing the Varsity team for its battles. These young men deserve the highest commendation for the important part they played. With no chance of winning public recognition they went to McCook field They have shown the right spirit toward their University. THE COLLEGE MAN SCORES THE COLLEGE MAN SCORES The college graduate has scored again. This time it is the civil engineer who has carried the ball over the non-graduate's goal line. The scoring came last week when System Chief Engineer C. F. W. Felt, of Chicago, issued an order that only college graduates should be employed in the civil engineer-ing department of the Santa Felines, and that no engineer who was not a college graduate should be promoted if a college man could be 'found for the promotion. This is the most sweeping order ever issued affecting the Santa Fe engineering department. It means that the college man will receive larger returns for his school training, that railroad engineering work will be more efficient, and that more men will seek university work in order to meet the requirements of employers. UNIVERSITY CLOCKS The University clocks are now running as accurately as possible. The timepieces on Provost Tower and in the Little Quad have been regulated by a Rockman-managed College clock, which cultivated its success and will be either replaced or entirely removed—Pennsylvanian. The University of Pennsylvania can sympathize with Kansas when it knows that Kansas has only one clock and it is, from all appearances, a twin sister to their College Hall clock. SMILE Schmile and der world schmiles mit you, Laugh and der world will roar, Veep and der world will leave you. And never come back no more. For we can't all peen hans'ome, And we can't all wear goat clothes, But a schmile is nod expensive, And it covers a world of woes. -Tulane Weekly. A REAL SPORTSMAN To brag a little, to show well, to crow gently if in luck; to pay up, to own up, and to shut up if beaten—these are the virtues of a real sportsman—Personality. OUR DAILY QUIZ Use honor system and grade yourself THE FOOTBALL COACH Q. For what purpose does the University of Kansas keep a football coach? A. —To win the Missouri Valley Championship. Q—When the Kansas coach loses to Missouri what else is usually 'ost? Q. —What is the worst thing coach can do? A. —Lose to Missouri. A. —The coach's job. A. —By running up big scores in minor games; then by a strong finish against Oklahoma, the Aggies, Nebraska and Missouri. In doing this he can return the following year to coach the team. Q—How can a Kansas coach "make good?" Q—How often does Kansas change coaches? Q. —Are the coaches ever discouraged? A. —Decidedly not!—except by the eligibility committee. A. —Whenever more than one team crosses our goal line. Q—How at the end of the season? A. —If we lose to Missouri—by "hoots" and "recalls." A. —Six positions shall be given to the Kansas players; the other five to be divided up among the teams of the other conference schools—with apologies to the rest of the Kansas squad. Q. —What is the last thing for a coach to do at the close of the season? Q—Is the Kansas coach ever successful? A—With nine "rahs!" and a "What's the Matter." Q. —How do the students "enthuse" over the coach at the beginning of the season? A. —No; sometimes the team is, but the coach never. If a successful season, "We had a great team!" if not successful, "A rotten team." A.—To pick an All-Valley team. O.—How shall this be done? From all the fools who went before I learned a wealth of wit! FROM ALL THE FOOLS WHO WENT BEFORE Experience his sensor. And lose the lore—for which he dies with his power. A giant fool! Ye shun, O Sages overwise. Experience's school, For over Wisdom's darkest door Some fool a lamp had lit. NHAT THE COLLEGE DOES FOR ITS STUDENTS I learned a wealth of wit. For over Wisdom's darkest door Gained by some gailant fool. —Margaret Root Garvin. The perennial question "why to college?" has written itself across the title page of more than one volume of convincing argument and alluring description. For the daughters of the land Alice Freeman Palmer's charming essay gives adequate answer "to secure happiness and health, good friends, high ideales, permanent interests, a noble kind, and the urgency of usefulness" to the world." To evidence of the value of college life, Mr. Clayton S. Cooper has visited not less than seven hundred diverse institutions in North America in the last ten years. The college is a gateway to "the larger life of spirit and service," says Mr. Cooper. "The true modern university contributes to the world a great-minded and a great hearted man, who college life has made his birth as well as a mind's awakening." For practical proof that the masters of the business world of today, many of them without a college degree, value the higher learning, "one has simply to read the names in the catalogs of the great universities and colleges of America, where the sons of virtually all the great busi-ness and professional men will be found." The testimony to the power of personality in college halls is striking: "Of one hundred graduates whom I asked the concrete question, 'What do you consider to be the most valuable thing in your college course?' eighty-six said, substantially, 'Personal contact with a great teacher.' Here is the secret of power to which the colleges may well give heed. Mr. Cooper wisely discerns that today the chief need of the North American education system is to focus attention upon the individual student, rather than his environment; either in the curriculum or in the college b liders. To overcome the greatest men of the time "men of great heart as well as of great brain who will live with students, truly caring for them as well as teaching them" is to solve the problem of preparing young men for leadership and useful citizenship. Only by such means will the college "set the hearts of their youth on flame." A COLLEGE GIRLS' RUBAIYAT (Archaeological Note—In the days of Omar, a young man was called to be the origin of the term is unknown). A cake of Hershey'a in a sticky state, A powder rag, some chewing-gum, a Date, for Friday's dance, what more could any girl Petition from the hands of kindly Fate? I sometimes think that never shines so red The nose as when its powder hath been shed Some for the praises of the profs and some been *shed* Through hasty smudging of the pow- der. der-rag By one approaching to a Date, ahead. tome. Ah, take the Date, and let the studies Sight for th glories of the dance to come. Nor heed the scowls of your profes sors glum. —Anon. RISIBLE REMARKS FOR THE SOMBRE STUDENT "Y-e-e," said the other, thoughtfully. "But—don't you think he was a little weak around the lampposts?" - Youth's Companion. How is it that he seems so much better than any of the other students? First Lounger—Where did you get the greenback? He writes text books for his own lasses. Two street-sweepers, seated on a corbstone, were discussing a comrade who had died the day before. His Weak Point. "Bill certainly was a good sweeper." said one. Second Lounger—Oh.
