The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students further than merely printing the mueskky standing on their desk, play favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to be a ability of the students of the University.

WORTH GOING TO SEE
The Trusting Three Hundred who followed the Kansas team to Columbia and defeat Saturday will at least tell you this: it was worth it.
teen you this.
The game was a real battle and the score was about representative of the two teams as they played: Missouri won but she had to work to do so.
The support given both teams was all that anyone could wish. Kansas rooters were few but hoarse and loyal; the Missouri stands constantly erupted loyalty and encouragement.
In all there was a spirit of rivalry as friendly as possible between Kansas and Missouri, in harmony with good sportsmanship. Missouri welcomed her guests royally and Kansas certainly appreciated the treatment received.
The game as a whole was a beautiful tribute to America's greatest college sport.
Nothwithstanding the "On to Missouri" rally held here last week, the proceedings of Saturday seem to indicate that Missouri is "on to" Kansas.
BOOST HOLIDAY REUNIONS
BOOST HOLIDAY REUNIONS Thanksgiving vacation should afford all K. U. students a good opportunity to serve the University when they go home to eat turkey with the home folks. It's the one big opportunity to plan county banquets and reunions among students and alumni during Christmas holidays.
The movement for K. U. County clubs at the University is just one end of the idea. The other is to talk it up at home next week instead of spending the four days of vacation in loafing and small talk. Search out the old grads and suggest a Christmas banquet; they have probably been thinking about it but want you to start it.
Then come back to the University and organize your county club, club up a program, secure some speaker from the University the old grads know, and when Christmas holidays come along have a K. U. meeting in your county that will warm the hearts of the old grads and boost the University.
Even if the first sophomorebum is scheduled for tonight,we have seen some before.
ACCEPTING DEFEAT
ACCEPTING
One gratifying result of several decades of college athletics, says H. P. Wright, is the commendable spirit now generally shown in defeat. Today the defeated side is expected to accept the result without question, and to admit generously that the best team has won. This is not easy; but the public has little sympathy with those who make a practice of explanations just as the public generally
has no sympathy whatever with the attempt to win by disconcerting the opposing team. Any close contest will be hard fought, but it must not arouse the spirit of anger or revenge. One of the claims for athletics is that it trains men to self control under strongest provocation.
The Washburn Review editorially questions whether an honor system is quite the proper thing. Are we to infer that at Washburn they are all Honorable Studies?
"Professor Dykatra of the University of Kansas says that we should pray less and work more. This is the first intimation the public has had that prayer is becoming a burden." Parsons Sun.
And most likely this is the first intimation Professor Dykstra has had that he made any such broad statement as is attributed to him.
"Prof. W. A. McKeever of the State University declares that the suppression of 'puppy love' is a mistake. This is the first intimation any one had that this never-failing, ever exuberant malady of the trundle-bed trash age had been squeled, and the chances are a hundred to none that the professor is mistaken. 'Puppy love' can no more be suppressed than you can keep the little brook from rippling on or the little bird from singing his roundel. It's as sure as measles and whooping cough and the mumps."—Chanute Tribune.
NO GOLD IN THIS SILENCE
Within the last thirty years Yale has become silent. The weight of cares and business has struck most undergraduates speechesless. Thus debating has been thrust aside; nad the Debating Association is but the ghost of what was once an active body. But the sport, though decadent, continues; and in recent years Yale has achieved a modest percentage of victories—almost twenty per cent.
Defeats in debating brand us, not with so simple and bearable a thing as physical deficiency, but with dullness. All the men of might, to be are playing football; but not all the men of wit debate. And it is just because these men, serene and contented, do not stand forth and speak, that debating has fallen into such a miserable plight. To abandon it would be an admission of mental weakness. To be ignomiously and almost continually beaten in the one kind of contest where brains are required, is a reproach to Yale.-Yale News.
DOFF HATS TO FACULTY?
If the editor of The Illini will per mit, I should like to declare myself who is to be asked for his opinio unbidden, as one of three instructor concerning the doffing of hats to th faculty.
If I understand the editor's position correctly, he assumes that it is an institution and a tradition in Southern and Eastern colleges and claims that the great Western universities "do not recognize the necessity of this etiquette" for a state federal university's information, the custom is not considered a necessity in the East either, and is only practiced by gentlemen. It is considered no acknowledgement of inferiority to touch one's hat to another, but merely a sign of respect, which faculty should be denied as an actant for faculty, because of that sort should be acknowledged in kind, of course, and really there is no physical pain connected with it.
We do not care to have a student smirk at us and go out of his way to protest interest in our courses; we, are, however, sometimes amused, sometimes disgusted by the student who shouts "Hello Prof" from across the street, and who enters our office to talk business, with him but family planted there. We have a large chew of expressed mouth and a cheerfully expressed readiness to meet us on terms of "perfect equality" radiating from every feature.
C. F. KELLEY,
—In Daily Illini.
Respect and courtesy are rather more closely allied than is often admitted. If you do not care for your instructor personally, you might consider him as the representative of the University at least, and then any expressions of respect of any sort may be construed as offered to the University rather than to him; thus may your dignity be preserved.
I realize that it is a very hazard-performance to enter the columns or "lists" of The Daily Illini, and therefore beg leave to state in closing that you should not ask any students touch their hats to me or not, but that I like to see them do it to other instructors. If a student does not care to remove his hat he might pull it more firmly on his head whenever a man tries to demonstrate a "frank, friendly, democratic acquaintance."

CAMPUS OPINION
PEP VERSUS QUIZZES
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Only a work of explanation is needed to justify the apparent lack of "pep" and student enthusiasm on Thursday and Friday of last week. There are many faculty members who care nothing for athletics or the enthusiasm that goes with it, and they blocked all efforts of the students to rally by giving quizzes on Friday. At least one hundred of my classmates were unable to attend the rally in the gym on this account, and one had as many as three, quizzes. Please don't ask what was the matter with student enthusiasm.

That is what I mean by saying that you can't compete out of your class, and the envy that the apparent strength of other classes stir in us to be weighed for what it is. I'll admit that in the earlier stages of roughness and evil there is an apparent virility which indicates goodness seems unnatural. But it is virility it drives unmatural and restlessly driven nervousness? However, wait and see the end of that socialized virility.
When you are tempted to envy by what these lower orders seems to have, look for a moment on what they have not. The list above will indicate to you that those they have all—around view, you'll find foolish envy dying within you and sane appraisal taking its place—Detroit News.
