The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate undergraduates further than merely printing the news by standing in front of a monitor, to be clean, to be playful, to be aggressive, to be leave more serious problems to wider heads, to better define what it is, and to adjust the students of the University.

SOME MORE CRITICISM
The Daily Kansan regrets the recent agitation concerning the coaching at the University, feeling that the single vital issue involved is not being kept in view.
being kept in rehab.
If students and alumni are not satisfied unless we win every game, or at least, unless we beat Missouri every year, then surely any coach at Kansas starts under a tremendous handicap, considering the fact that there are a few other good teams and coaches in the Missouri Valley.
Let us not, confuse the matter of justly criticizing a "house divided against itself" with something entirely different.
The Kansan sees but one just reason to complain about the season just past—that Kansas did not consistently coach one brand of football throughout. At the same time, it doubts whether the coaching would have been seriously criticized if we had by chance won the Missouri game with the same coaching.
"Navajo Indians on warpath in New Mexico, issuing defiance from Beautiful mountain."
Bethel. If they play as rough at that game as their cousins at Haskell play football it would be wise to give them New Mexico as a sort of peace offering and call it quits.
ORGANIZED YET?
What has become of the county club activity that was so noticeable in bygone years? Where are those mighty spellers, those basket-ball players, those advertisers extraordi- pary to the University?
Now that Christmas vacation is coming, students should seriously undertake to organize more K. U. county clubs, which last year proved the most efficient working units in the student body. It is surprising how much a few students from one county can do during the holidays to create interest in the University in their home communities. And it's surprising what a good time old grads and students and high school seniors have at these all-county Christmas banquets.
Fifteen students from each county, organized and working together, can finance a Christmas reception, secure a University speaker, and entertain the prospective students in their home counties and not half try.
As soon as you've finished reading this why not call up the people from your county and invite them over to your house to get acquainted, elect officers, and start the campaign now? It's a great chance to make yourself useful to the University that is doing so much for you.
REMOVE TEMPTATION
REMOVE TEMPTATION
It has been suggested that one way of avoiding the custom among a certain class of pantatorium proprietors of leaving so soon after collecting their proceeds in the fall would be to pay for the season tickets in quarterly installments. In this case, if the proprietor fled, he would carry with him but $1.25 from each trusting student instead of $5.00.
There is temptation, it appears, in having three or four hundred dollars on hand, collected for future work. The prospect of a winter's labor with no more money coming in, and the ease with which leave of the community can be taken, are matters which would not present themselves so insistently under the quarterly installment plan.
A Chicago man claims to be able to produce frogs from nothing. Since the physiology department produces nothing from frogs it would be mighty economical if these two could get together.
HURRAH FOR THE WIND
A great improvement has been noticed in the appearance of the campus since the wind-blown and rotted telephone poles have been taken out. Now that improvement along this line has been begun by the Oread breezes it might be continued by the superintendent's force.
General improvements for the campus in several directions might be suggested. Improvement in the little things is what is needed worse. The K. U. campus has a great deal of natural beauty, but if the roads were graded up and parked and a few vines started on the buildings, this natural beauty could be augmented materially. Heavy teaming over the blue grass should be prohibited. Of course, all improvements take money but the money should be forthcoming to enable Kansas to take her place among the schools noted for the most beautiful campuses.
The cost of living depends upon the amount of luxuries that are fed to the garbage can.—Toledo Blade. You're wrong, brother; it depends on whether we beat Missouri or they beat us.
Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul may merely demonstrate that Peter is an easy mark—N. Y. Times.

GREEK PHILOSOPHY
These were seven persons noted for their sagacity as philosophers and statesmen at an early period of Greeks history; they were Periander of Corinth, Pittacus, Thales, Solon, Bias, Chilon, Cleophanus. Who are Heidi?
1—Who were the 'Seven Wise Men o
Greece?
Next to Homer, he was the earliest of the Greek poets, and flourished in the 8th century B. Hisesid's poems were based on the case of a peaceful pursuit and simple style of life; they also illustrate the mythological notions of the time. $^{1}$
He was an eminent writer of tragedies, born 525 B. C., and is usually styled 'the father of the tragedy.' Seven of his numerous tragedies are preserved, two of which are grandor of ideas and elegance of expression

Who was Euphil?
He was a celebrated Greek darmatist,
born 495 B. C., whose tragicries, more
particularly his Antpige and Oedipus,
are highly admired for their depth and
tenderness of feeling, and their harmony
of expression.
5- What was the *peripetita philosophy*? It was the philosophy of Aristotle, which he usually taught while he was walking (peripetate, "I walk about") in the sandy beach. Because, hence, were called Peripatetices. 6—Who was Socrates?

3—Who was Aeschylus?
It is a phrase derived from the doctrines consistence in a union of kindred souls in the love and zealous search for truth. They were the followers of Zeno called *Nicander*.
He taught that there was but one Divine Being, whose favor can be curried only by a blameless life: at the same time Socrates sacrificed and prayed at the heathen altars of the country.
He was a Greek Philosopher, born 470 B. C., whose character and teaching were equally pure and noble. Aleiabides, Crito, Xeniphon, Aristippus, Phaedon, Plato, and other noted men were among his pupils.

Times
FOR THE GAME'S ACHE
Twenty years ago football was a game. Today it is something else—a technique, a show, a patriotism, a frenzy—what you will, but it is not a game.
FOR THE GAME'S ACHE
At Princeton, then, for example, those who could not get on the college or class teams formed stray elevenes of their own and played one another or contended against teams made up of active young fellows from near-by towns. Some personality in these encounters, which were kept up through the winter until baseball began in March.
These gladiators furnished their own clothing, were their own coaches and trainers, and played in the open fields for sheer love of the game. Be it remembered that these were the days when Duncan threw his greatest score ever made on the Blue, and that against an eleven led by the invincible Hinkley!
The college student of today is smoother, more urbane, fonder of his bath and his professors, an apler judge of fine linen. He shows no trace of the rough times that followed the Civil War, nor of the privations of the early and middle nineties—he doesn't know what "hard times" means. Golf is his game. Football is something we flock to see exhibited—as artificial as a fourteen inch chrysanthemum. We of an older, more heroic age (our own) shake our heads and grumble—especially when we can't get the necessary tickets.-Colliers.
