The Daily Kansan nines to picture the undergraduate curriculum and no further than merely printing the news by standing up for their opinions; to be clean; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems to upper heads; to be a student of the University.

WILL THE AUTHORITIES ACT? The Daily Kansan is in receipt of a communication making serious charges concerning student conduct on the trip to Columbia, Missouri, and from the Missouri-Kansas football game.
The communication in part is as follows:
The Kansan deems the charges serious enough to turn them over to the proper disciplinary authorities before proceeding further in the matter, and has therefore laid the same before Leslie Dodd, president of the Men's Student Council.
Have K. U. students a sense of honor? If one were to judge from the behavior of the rooters to and from front row, one would one foregone to say "No."
be forced to play. Unfortunately people judge the character of Kansas students by such demonstrations as occurred in such demonstrations at Kansas City Friday night before the Missouri game. The vicious "swear-songs" and yells were used there most effectively to injure the fair name of Kansas. Remember this occurred after the reputation for clean sportsmanship demonstrated and established at the Nebraska game a week previous.
The communication continues with still more serious charges which the Daily Kansan at present withholds from publication.
What about our moral conceptions? Some one hundred students "beat" their way to Columbia, speaking of it as an achievement to be done. What are we to do? Is it too hard to say that; those men stole? If they regard it as right and proper, why not apply the same principle to life and endeavor to steal our way through life? The tourist swarms were loaded on us at times with high capacity, men in hiding under the berths and two or three in a berth.

Three hundred feet. That's nothing; the average Lawrence boarding club can stretch it from Sunday noon until Wednesday breakfast.
NOT TOO EARLY TO BEGIN
NOT TOO EARLY TO BEGIN It is only nearly a year until the next session of the legislature, but there is a great deal to be done for the University by loyal students before that time.
Among the many needs of this University, none is more urgent than that of a permanent and assured income. Last year an unfortunate combination of circumstances prevented the mill tax amendment from being brought up for consideration; but a great deal of favorable sentiment was worked up for it, and can be revised when an earnest effort is made.
Governor Hodges has committed himself to the support of the fixed tax measure. Many members of the senate—which holds over—are for it.
But there is still a big fight to be won, and the students can help.
No thoughtful student can fail to recognize the great benefits that would be conferred upon the University by the providing of a permanent income. It would obviate a vast expenditure of time and effort on the part of the Chancellor and friends of the University who must, under the present system, go to Topeka every two years to labor for a reasonably adequate appropriation. It would spare them and all of us, from seeing the budget ruthlessly cut down by some "economical" statesman trying to stand well with some constituent at the expense of the University. It would put this great institution on a more stable and business-like footing.
Let the students get to work early to arouse interest and support for this much-needed amendment to the state constitution.
College Life of Emporia says that the girls of the dormitory "entertained the Bakers." Must have been a well-bred crowd.
WHEN COACHES DISAGREE
WHEN COACHES DISAGREE
It was the calm that precedes the storm. Lee had been massing artillery on Seminary Ridge, and for two miles the hill bristled with cannon. Lee had determined on a great final charge on the Union center. Longstreet strongly opposed it, believing that it could not succeed; but he protested in vain.
At one o'clock, the silence was broken by a terrific outburst from one hundred and fifty guns, and the whole crest of Seminary Ridge was a line of fire. The Union guns were soon in operation, and cannon answered cannon until the hills shook to their foundations. After an hour and a half the firing gradually slackened and ceased, and the Union army prepared for the more deadly charge of infantry that was sure to follow.
They had not long to wait. Fifteen thousand of Longstreet's corps, the flower of the Confederate army, emerged in a grand double column from the wooded crest of Seminary Ridge under the command of General Pickett.
Longstreet foresaw the fate of his brave men. He had opposed their going, but Lee had overruled him. He could not speak; he only nodded his head and burst into tears.
WHY NOT?
For a short time, subscriptions to the University Daily Kansan to the end of the school year will be taken for $2.00.
The faculty have fallen below the average this year as subscribers to the college paper.
And why shouldn't each student read his or her own paper? Don't borrow continually from your neighbor, but if you believe in supporting student enterprises, prove it by subscribing. We believe it's worth the money.

WESTERN FOOTBALL
Time was, and not very long ago, when the football players of the Eastern colleges looked down upon the Western players. The game in the West was tolerated as a sort of imitation, the real thing being played only along the Atlantic seaboard. It must be admitted that twenty years ago such an attitude upon the part of the Eastern collegians was more or less justified. The East then had football tradition, holding over two decades, but it had the pick of the coachees and players and the Western game was somewhat crude, the best Western players attending the foremost Eastern colleges.
But there is no warrant for that attitude today, although it still obtains more or less. It is highly probable that intersectional football matches between representative teams may mean outlaws as at least as far advanced as Eastern and Western teams at least as good, if not better.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
WEEP FOR THESE FRESHMEN
The freshmen at the Washington University, St. Louis, have a time obeying the rules. They are forbidden to wear mustaches and derbys and even the pleasure of taking a lady friend to the games.
1. Freshmen must not smoke pipes on the University grounds, except in the freshman locker room or in the dormitories.
2. All freshmen must wear caps until after the Christmas holidays. The freshman cap is made of gray cloth with a cherry-red button. At no time may the cap be removed (which covers the whole of the University grounds).
4. The stone wall bounding the southwest corner of the quadrangle shall be the freshman wall; the one in the northwest corner the sophomore wall.
3. Freshmen must occupy allotted seats in the rear at all special events.
6. Seniors only are allowed to
frequent the steps and archway of

8. Freshmen shall wear a
8. No freshman shall wear a mustache or sideburns.
9. No freshman shall escort a woman to football games.—University Life.
KEEPING ELIGIBLE
Last February it was roughly estimated that the track men who became ineligible on account of the mid-year examinations could have composed equally as strong a team as those who remained and took part in the spring meets. This statement is no doubt slightly oversimplified, and nevertheless, remains that our teams are year after year seriously handicapped by the ineligibility of what ought to be available material.
There is a French proverb that says that travel forms youth when it does not deform youth. The same applies to college athletics. The mere fact that there are such things as athletic teams keep many men from being able to participate in athletics. The team is emblazoned on their minds as gigantic, overhadowing all else.
In losing sight of the main purpose of College these men defeat their own particular purpose. They cannot become actively engaged in athletics unless they do the required amount of study. Enveloped in contemplation of the desired end they forget the means.
The whole matter has been acutely brought home to us during the last couple of days through the warnings. If the track men who are now behind in their work, do not acquit themselves far better the second quarter than they have the first, our team will suffer.
Princeton wants a strong track team next spring; we need it. Everything is propitious. We will have it if the men meet ours in a basketball sport will only take their work seriously from now on—Daily Princetonian.
