UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
Published in the afternoon five times a week by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the department of journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in a more mature way, so he will go further than merely printing the news by standing up for it. The university also play no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be kind and helpful; to be more serious problems to user heads; to all, to serve the students; to actually University.

TO OUR READERS
Members of the football team receive valuable training from professional coaches just as members of debating teams get valuable training from faculty coaches, yet no student feels that these teams do not represent the undergraduate body of the University of Kansas.
Through arrangements made last Wednesday night the University department of journalism is going to coach the students who are editing and publishing the Daily Kansan. We believe that both these students and our undergraduate readers will profit thereby.
Yesterday the coaching began. The Daily Kansan will remain the official organ of the student body. Its policy will continue to be determined by the student Board; the news will be gathered, written and edited by students; any student in the University will be eligible to the Board; the paper will be financed as at present by students; and its columns will ever be open for student opinion on any subject. Herbert Flint, editor-in-chief, University Daily Kansan.
Kansas teachers, not already in possession of one should obtain a degree. If nothing else is available take Fahrenheit or Centigrade. A cool day is coming for the teacher without a degree.
GREEK REFORMATION
GREEK SALE Wholesale condemnation of the Greek letter societies at the University sit because they are not what they were thirty years ago might be consistent in a stand pat community, but hardly in the progressive state of Kansas. The fraternities and sororites have kept pace with other Kansas institutions though they have, possibly, exceeded the speed limit.
But nevertheless the suggestions offered by Doctor Elderin in his sermon on fraternities Sunday evening are worthy of consideration. Hardly anyone will deny that the excesses of the rushing season can be done away with. Rushing can and should be "sanitized."
His suggestion that the societies sell their dining room furniture and eat at the restaurants and boarding houses is one that does not meet favor among the Greeks. If the minister had ever had to eat day after day in some of the student boarding houses or some college restaurants he might have greater sympathy for those students who hire their own cook and cheat the boarding houses of their profits.
However, when the fraternities
realize how strong is the feeling against secret societies among some of the good people of the state and learn that there is danger of "an enraged army of tax-payers storming Mount Oread and cleaning things up," it is reasonable to believe that they will be willing to make some of the changes suggested, in the interest not only of self preservation but also of usefulness to the University.
FACTS FIRST.
Jay E. House in this morning's Topeka Capital mentions the alleged "roughing" of Hardy, the Washburn negro halfback in the game last Saturday.
Perhaps Mr. House should first see some of the Washburn players or perhaps Hardy for his side of the affair. McNish, a Washburn substitute, told a Daily Kansan reporter that Hardy went into the game with a bad knee, and that Hardy himself said the injury he received was not intentionally inflicted, and that he did not wish such an impression to get out.
get out.
We certainly agree with Mr House that if Hardy was intentionally put on Saturday a woeful lack of sportsmanship was shown. But the facts seem to point otherwise.
KEEPING OUR STRIDE
The Saturday matinee with our near neighbor Washburn enabled our "Shifters" to strike again the stride which is to give us supremacy over our conference rivals. True, the battles with Nebraska and Missouri will command from the Crimson and Blue warriors the exhibition of their best talents acquired from coach and foreign foe but the task, while requiring the best from the team, is far from being formidable.
November 15 Kansas will prove on McCook field that the Jayhawkers are in the fight to win the Missouri Valley Championship Meanwhile, let us not underestimate Nebraska. To win from our guests next Saturday may tax our resources to the utmost, but we will win and win cleanly.
certainly. Between now and Saturday, students should exert the "Moral suasion" that makes of an eleven a thorough fighting machine. A wholesome influence must be manifest, for from the student influence the football squad receives its mandates whether for good or ill.
Oh! You Incandescent Tiger!
Missouri in its frenzy to beat Kansas is frisking the cubs on an artificially lighted field.

II. CHRONOLOGY
io Cronolono?
It is that department of knowledge which relates to the reckoning of time; the term is "the Greek crono time," or discourse. 2—When did the era of the ancient Greeks
and Moses. What
were they when
Did the era of the ancient Greeks
begin?
It began with the first year of the first Olympiad, which is calculated to have commenced at midsummer, 776 B. C. 3-What is the Mohamedan era?
It consisted in the adoption by Julius Caesar of the Greek plan of reckoning, that the year should consist of 365 days. To dispose of the earth was doubled every fourth year; the day so interposed being called bissextile.
It commences with the 13th of September, 622 A. D., the date of the flight of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina. What was the Julien Calendar?
Until 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII abolished it, and instituted a new and improved calendar, which from his name, is known as the Gregorian calen-
5-What was the defect of the Julian calendar?
It made the year about 11 months long and this extension amounted to three days in nearly 400 years. The date of the Didan calendar regimen in 1932 was
7 - When was the New-year's day changed from the 23rd of March to the 1st of January?
This change was effected gradually. The lst of January was adopted legally by France, by land and Ireland, by England and Ireland at the change of the style, 1752.
Because stars are fixed points in the heavens, while the sun daily shifts a little in its relative position, clocks invented for measuring time?
When were the months named and arranged?
The calendar months, twelve in number, received their names from the Romans, and were arranged by Julius Caesar almost as they now appear.
The earliest known clock was invented by Henry de la Rue, Weyk, a German, during the 17th century, and powering in clocks was introduced by Huygens, a conceived Dutch astronomer.
9- Why should the earth require 24 hours to return to be opposite the sun, while it returns to be opposite a star in 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds?

"This are not Aviation," snib Noi,
"It are Feetball."
"Are you not equally dead when killed?" require Nogi who admire my educational replies.
FROM THE LETTER BOX OF THE DAILY KANSAN
"Than I am no longer shock," I deliver "Feetball are merely a playgame for boys while aviation are a severe science."
Englewood, Nov. 7, 1913.
Editor Daily Kansas;
"O shocks!" I lolla. "Aviation should be stopped by law."
In the issue of the Daily Kansas for the sixth is a statement from Prof. S. N. Patten with which I agree perfectly.
I am fully convinced that the study of the languages weakens will power but strengthens tenacity of purpose. The loss results principally in that after a person has acquired some skill in translating he begins to translate the thought or idea and to express his thought or idea in the idioms or thoughts of other tongue, making a smooth translation, but in nine cases out of ten, failing to translate the spirit of the original; this failure to transcribe the spirit will-power is lost. Good examples both as to men and translations are furnished by Pope's Illiad and Dryden's Aeneas.
"Early in afternoon 10,000 spectators enjoyed a very amusing accident. Hon. Fingers, who was lying part and was pitted down to field with loudly serrish. Nothing was injured except his bones, which was all broken." . . .
My Cousin Nogi who studies newspapers for American education every morning (a m.) read me this itemized paragraph with alarmed eye-
10. 14 Second: The work is not strenuous enough. Will-power cannot be strengthened except in physical struggles or in the clash of a living active mind with mind. Tenacity of purpose can be strengthened without this, and this the study of language may do.
More can be said in this line, especially against the modern languages. As a rule, the weak-willed seek these in the school work, though I do not mean that strong, active-willed persons are not found pursuing them for there are plenty of such.
"FEETBALLING"
N. F. Daum, '99.
Hashimura Togo (per Wallace Irwin) writing to "Life" asks whether "feetballing are the most fashionable form of death," and proceeds with the answer in the following words: Dear Sir:
“Not similarly,” I depose chivalrously “There is something fancy & famus about being killed by airships. But when you are murdered by feetball there is no excuse, but Bassararth earth is more glorious than any other disease. When a taxi-cab graduate pay 550$ to Shaughterac Aviation School his course of instruction should include one pair leather pajamas and one handsomely engraved death certificate. With immediate quickness he comes favorite host. Obituary Editor John Gowle who come out into grounds frequently for see how he is getting along. This hero go uply and downly in sight of Newport who expect to go to his funeral. In meantime he meets and married blondish lady who will look well in black and Life Insurance takes away his potency already supposed to die. Thusly even the audience are deliciously prepared.

Great excitement to telegram your morning portrait of dead aviator, portrait of inventor, portrait of widow, portrait of Harold McCormick, Count Zippelin, Harry Thaw and other famous flights are published in 5 languages. ‘Yesterday’s accident,’ says news-print, ‘show that aviation are rapidly approaching perfection, because Hueckleback, Huckleback, came greatly than any other death this week. Prof. Alec Graham Bell, when interviewed about it, say, “A temendous improvement!” Hon. Huckleback’s life were devoted to science and his death was enjoyed by all. He were the 11,292nd man killed by aviation this year, ready passing proud record of 1913 Thaw do move in spite of muck knives.
