The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate undergraduates further than merely printing the news by standing up to the press and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems to wiser head. He will teach at the students of the University.

LOOK OUT, TIGER!
Kansas has no sore spots over the Nebraska defeat and is looking forward to her annual feast on Tiger meat next Saturday with appetite unaffected by the mud battle disaster.
Our team put up a good fight and is not to be ashamed of. So let's put the game in the profit aid loss column and turn to the one thing that can console a defeated Jayhawker—a drubbing for Missouri!

HONOR SENTIMENT
Crop note: Conditions and circumstances that it is not necessary to mention have interfered with the corn husking in this vicinity of late.
There can be little room for doubt that honor sentiment must be aroused at the University. From the many different systems in use among other colleges, Kansas should be able to choose the most satisfactory.
The movement for the adoption of an honor system in the University has remained dormant entirely too long. Within the last week Christian organizations and the student government councils have recognized this fact, and special committees have been appointed to investigate the honor system as used elsewhere.
tory.
We need honor sentiment: it is only a question of selecting the best means of cultivating it. Reports from the committees will be awaited with interest.
"Harvard Gains by Shift of Players," declares a New York head line. And so now there is a "Harvard Shift!"
THREE ON THE WALK
THREE ON THE WAY
There were three of them—three girls on the sidewalk—arm in arm. A lone pedestrian coming from the opposite direction hesitated for the three to give him a share of the walk. He waited a moment, then turned out on the parking. He didn't do this because he wanted to; but because it was the easiest way.
And he is complaining, this lone walker who turned out on the parking to let three girls continue their arm in arm stroll. No doubt he is a hard-hearted selfish sort of a man or he wouldn't expect three girls to give him a part of the walk. They were having such a good time, these three college girls, and it would have spoiled the conversation and the fun if they had walked single file past this selfish man who wanted a part of the sidewalk.
And besides a sidewalk is made just three breadths wide so that three merry girls may walk arm in arm; and the parking, so that the lone pedestrian may get out of the way of this laughing, talking, thoughtless trio.
Chicago University has discouraged its cheaters by social ostracism of the dishonest person. There is no better way to make the honor system effective.
PRAYER WEEK OBSERVANCE The two religious societies of the University, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., observed last week, the week of international prayer, by appropriate devotional exercises each day This manifestation of religious spirit, is only another indication that the atmosphere of the University is pre-eminently Christian. While, of course, the University is strictly non-sectarian and could not include religious instruction in its curriculum, it brings strong Christian influence to bear upon the students in a more genuine and intense form than the majority of students would feel in the communities in which they live.

It is a tract of 163 acres situated on the top of a steep bluff overlooking the Kawer河 and the city of Lawrence.

Dung war times the present site of the university was occupied by Fort Thatcher. In 1863 the city offered it to the state as a location for the University, and in 1865 the first building, now known as North Building, erected. Since then, four buildings have been built by the state and five rifles.
3- What are the chief uses to which the campus is put?
In the fall, as a place for football rallies, in winter as a substitute for Pike's Peak, in the spring as a gymnasium and in summer it is an ideal picnic ground. Incidentally it supports the twenty buildings and one class memorial building, featuring a moving feature of

THE TEMPER OF A MAID
(News item; Professor Patten, of the University of Pennsylvania, says that the study of language affects the will. A dainty maven set and weep, he can count on that. I asked her what the matter was, and then she was sadly told:
"My classes all are simply fierce.
In quizzes I am not pleased.
And my themes are given back.
They're labeled 'Minus P'
Oh, maiden fair, I. I gently said,
The fault is all your own.
The time now is fine, along and things,
But that alas, I cannot do."
Quoth the maiden, weiling still.
"I'm taking language in my course,
And that effects me."

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications to the Daily Kansan must be signed as an evidence of good faith, though not necessarily for publication. The column is open to all Daily Kansan readers).
A little incident occurred Thursday night at the chapel rally which I believe the whole student body should know about.
CUT OUT SWEAR WORDS
Editor the Daily Kansan:
The Chancellor had been to the Y. M. C. A. banquet where more than a hundred men had enjoyed a great spiritual feast and came in just in time for the tail end of the rally—just in time, indeed, to hear the K. U. hymn followed by "Hallelujah give 'em h-mo — boys!"
We have known one University which used such songs repeatedly—just one. And we can't afford to put ourselves in the same class with Kenyatta State.
With bowed head the Chancellor left the room as soon as the song was announced. After it was over they called out, "We want the Chancellor. He consented after a time to come back and address the crowd. The first words he said were, "Boys, you can afford to cut out your swear songs," or words to that effect.
Why can't we have songs everybody knows, that everybody will be willing to sing, even the girls, and those whose sensibilities are outraged by the vulgarity of "swar songs"? We need them for the team, as to the Chancellor said. Then let us know what everyone can sing and vells.

I enclose a song which may lack much in merit in parts, but its chorus especially is rousing. Its sentiment is right; everybody would sing it with spirit and understand- why? Why don't we use more of these good rousing songs instead of the vulgar things which appeal to the lower strata of student life only?

AS TO THE PUPPET PLAY
Old Fashioned.
Dear Mr. program committee of the Deutscher Verein, whose last program was reviewed in a supposedly numerous manner in your paper last Tuesday, wants to protest against the unfair representation you given. The puppet is by no means the vulgar spectacle with your article suggests, nor was it a burlesque on the famous classic drama of "Faust," as your reporter seems to think, but a careful reproduction of a play of the early times, from which I am born, reprints of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. If the writer had taken the trouble to see the play before describing it, he might have learned that it was a serious treatment of a theme has been of the German literary importance, and of influence in England as well.
If we are careful to see that the good name of the University of Kansas is held high where our athletic honors are concerned, is it not equally worth while to represent fairly, to the outside readers of the Kansan, the activities of the University in the way of scholarship? What right has any University publication to treat lapidantly the most effort the Verein to make its members, who will be among the future teachers of the state acquainted with the cultural elements of their study, with the traditions and history of Germany as well as its present cuis-
With reference to your article of last Thursday on the beginning of football at K. U. I wish to say a few reminiscent words not so much by way of correction as of amplification.
The first substantial consideration given to football in K. U. was in 1882 when a fellow student said to me, "We're going to buy a football and we want you to chip in twenty-five cents. I chipped in a quarter and never saw it again. That football was never bought.
The program committee of the Deutscher Verein.
Editor the Daily Kansan;
In 1889 some students had a football and did a lot of kicking. In 1890 K. U. had a full-fledged football team proper organization. He made up the K. U. player of the time complains that the "coaching was poor." This队, however, played games and had a match with Baker University. It was next year, 1881 that he graduated from this his master knowledge of the game became the first coach.

CLASS MEMORIALS MAY
The memorial plans of the various classes will soon be definitely outlined. The juniors have already decided upon the goat for which they are going to line up the line the plan which they expect to follow at their next meeting.
The sophomores will adopt a plan of assessment at the first class bum which will be held in the afternoon the evening of the Missouri game.
"DIRECTORY TO BE A DANDY"
DECLARES GEO O. FOSTER
"The student directory this year is far superior to that of last year," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster this afternoon. "If you don't believe it just compare it with one of last year and see. In fact it is better than that of any other institution of our standing, as far as I know."
The directory this year has a more complete list of officers of the student organizations and contains all their constitutions including the constitution of the Athletic Association. Anyone desiring rules concerning eligibility to or for the Valley Conference or to the University need but to turn to the directory. Rules governing University danges are in given full.
The new student directories will be delivered to the registrar tomorrow and can be had at his office in Fraser hall Monday. There will be twenty-five hundred books one for each student.
1207 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE EXTENSION COURSE
1207 STUDENTS ENROLLED
At present 1207 students are enrolled on the indexed list of the extension department. There are several more who are enrolled irregularly and are not counted in the list of regular students. This number covers all branches of the work, the most popular study being Prof. D. C. Croisant's course in English History.
NEARLY ELEVEN HUNDRED
ENTERPRISE TICKETS SOLD
Only four Student Enterprise tickets have been sold since the first of November. Registrar Foster had expected to sell a big bunch of tickets before the Nebraska game but Manager Hamilton seems to have cornered the market. However, Mr. Foster got in his licks at the first of the year and sold 1096 tickets which enriched the treasury by $5,480.
"There isn't any argument about it at all," says the genial floor-walker. "They cannot dance and play basketball on the same floor. When the floor is slick, it buckles that it is actually dangerous for the players. To cut this wax we have to use resin. This is ground into the floor, which must be scrubbed off with hot water and soap before it can be wetted again. Even then it is impossibly tough." All off, and it is running the floors."
"Dancing in the gymnasium must be stopped or the floors will be ruined." Thus speaks Mr David Miller, head batanitor.
GENIAL JANITORIO SHOWS
WHY DANCING HURTS FLOOR
FRESHMEN ENGINEERS CAN
PRESS THEIR OWN RAIMENT
No more will the freshman engineer have to pay a dollar seventy-five to three dollars a semester for semesters beyond work hours. How do he his own pressing.
All because of the fact that in shop I the freshmen are making flat irons this year. The ironws weigh about five pounds, we wooden handles, and the other buns of U., the dishies is only one of the changes in shop work. Some of the freshmen are making butcher knives to take home Thanksgiving time.
Simpson College made possible a girls' debate this year. They completely liquidated the stance for the debt by having a box supper.
