The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the, University of Kansas; to go further than merely provide information; to be a teacher; to be fair to no priorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more serious problems to other students; in all, to serve to the best of its ability.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1913.
Last Friday we played O.K.lahoma.
Perhaps the commonest remark about the Oklahoma defeat is, "Well, if we had to lose, we'd rather lose to Oklahoma than to anyone else." Add to this unstinted praise for Bennie Owen and his great fullback, Reeds, and you know how Kansas feels about the surprise-and-deluge.
Oklahoma just walloped us, and we have no excuse to offer. But when everyone knows that an old Jayhawkcoach coached the winning team and that his greatest player, playing a clean game, came out of every scrimmage smiling and then went through or around us for another gain—well, we've no cause for bitterness there; and there's no use trying to stop lightning, you know.
In the end, therefore, there's little sting in a defeat at the hand of Bennie Owen, for he's one of us. And the wonderful showing of Reeds recalls the playing of our own "Tommy" Johnson; we know just what hit us.
Everything considered, we take our hats off to Ola homa.
AND TO OUR ROOTERS
Did you hear the rooter with the megaphone voice rousing the student district to meet the team when it came back from Oklahoma? If you didn't, you missed out on what is the best thing about football at Kansas this year—the way the rooters are backing the team, winning or losing.
It was cold and dark and they didn't know whether it was a false alarm or not; but before daylight a mob of students "with the pep" were at the station waiting; and they gave the team a real welcome when it arrived.
This kind of spirit looks awfully good. It is the kind of backing that will send the team against Nebraska full of fight and confidence—enough, we think, to bring home a victory. We take off our hats to the rooters-who-got-up before-daylight.
We rise to ask which is the more contemptuous; the glance of a fat co-ed at $ \mathbf{a} $ thin co-ed or the glance of a thin co-ed at a fat one.—University of Washington Daily.
The hen stood on the river's brink
And gave her college cry,
Until a frog in pained surprise,
Politely asked her why.
She said, "Kind sir, you see that duck
Out there upon the water?"
Well, that's a winning college crew,
And I'm her Alma Mater!"
Cornell Widow.
Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none and the best cannot be expected to go quite true. Samuel Johnson.
So long as you aspire, others will conspire; so long as you try, others will vie. You'll have hostility to face in every place and at every place. Go straight to your goal.—Herbert Kaufman.
The average man can work hard and well when the band is playing and the bleachers are going crazy, but it demands real grit to do the little things and do them well when there is no ragtime accompaniment.—Personality.
OCTOBER SUNRISE
Gauunt, leafless trees, with barren, blackened boughs
In allouette against a cold blue sky,
Dim with the vaporous haze of promised dawn;
A bleak horizon softened by a veil
Of shifting smoke; oppressing, breathless, silence
Until a dull red shadow,——soft suffused,
Outshines the star, pale, shrinkling in the east,
And morning breaks upon a shell-like cloud
Aglow with roseate amber, like a Pearl.
—Adella M. Pepper.
DESIDERATA
Four things a man must learn to do
If he would keep his record true;
To think, without confusion, clearly;
To love his fellow man sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven merely.
Henry Van Dyke.
When gossip travels it always throws on the high-speed lever--Personality.

COMMUNICATIONS
Many of us this year have suffered persecution and scourging of the flesh because we failed to comply with a nonsensical rule regarding caps. We must take some means to safeguard ourselves in the future. With all humility, I offer the following plans knowing better ones could be evolved if the more intellectual freshmen would set to work. Some might retort that the intellectual freshmen wear the caps, but this is beside the point. I wish it understood that the ensuing plans are merely theoretical and that I disclaim all responsibility for what may occur in case they be tried.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FRESHMEN
Editor of the Kansan;
Editor of the Kansan:
First: try to pass as an upperclassman. In attempt-
ting this the following ideas may be helpful: do not look
at anyone whom you may meet on the campus. An
upperclassman never does. It is a sure and certain
betrayal of first-year proclivities to peer into the faces of
ol persons encountered on the walks.
Second, assume an air of indifference in class. All upperclassmen do this. Try to be as reposeful as possible. Third: form no acquaintances. They are sure to give one away sooner or later. The best way to avoid identification is to eat at a restaurant and room out near Haskell. This will have the advantage of quietness, as the students out there don't make much noise on account of their Indian reservation. If questioned as to your classification, always use the term "first year man."
Another plan is to carry a cap in a convenient pocket, where it can be assumed on a moment's notice.
COURTESY?
Freshman.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Dear Sir; I was greatly impressed by an occurrence in last Tuesday's chapel.
Two elderly ladies, apparently visitors, came into chapel, and after looking in vain for seats went up to the balcony. Here they were again unsuccessful and remained standing.
One row of seats near them was filled with men students, who merely gave the ladies a cursory glance. None offered the ladies his seat. After several minutes, two girls from a row farther back arose and gave their seats to the visitors.
This lamentable lack of courtesy on the part of many of the men students may be seen every day. It is probably only thoughtlessness but, whatever the cause, it is regrettable because it only creates a bad impression of the University over the state, and also furnishes material for much unjust criticism.
Respectfully yours. J.V.B

WANTED-HONOR SENTIMENT Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 29, 1913.
Daily Kaneen
To come right down to it, there are a good many of us, not blessed with phonograph memories, who would like to prescribe the ducking-stool for professors who demand sheeaf feats of memory in quizzes, and alac the day, there are a few such still at large on Oread; but my humble opinion is that the approval of mere students to either side of us whether it be in class or at table where our deeds of valor are related, has a weight with most of us, astounding as compared with that of the several commending shields of profs.
several commending comments.
What do K. U. students think of a man who does not do his university work honestly appears to me to be the head of this particular need.
I think there are very few who think we need an honor system here. Let there be an honor sentiment and the rest will take care of its self. If every student of Kansas University would face the issue squately, the men and women of Kansas would not tolerate graft in this form any more than in any other.
A P. S. B.
KANSAS CHIVALRY
Is the "Jayhawker" jealous of the title so appropriate, that it causes him to ignore the fair co-ed standing through the hour of chapel, by freezing with all his might on the seat he has secured by an early arrival at the exercises?
Is this action so prominently in evidence at every chapel exercise due to ignorance or pure cussness? Let's adopt at least a little more chivalry of the right sort in our treatment of women folks.

One hundred and ninety girls went through last year at the University of Minnesota without assistance from home, most of them at the same time taking a prominent part in college activities. About one hundred of these taught, in addition to their regular work, a number did clerical work and stenography, while others performed social service work or did printing, sewing or housework.
Freshmen at the University of Pennsylvania have unanimously pledged themselves to an honor system. The system places no definite restrictions upon the students. In a general way they are pledged to maintain the system "in the spirit and conduct of a gentleman."

Assistant Secretary Newton of the treasury department, has refused permission to Carroll Dwight Hale to absent himself from the life-saving service in Northwestern University football team at Evanston III.
President Wilson had referred to the department a petition signed by a host of Northwestern students, asking for the release of Hale, whose resignation the keeper of the life-saving station refused to accept, on the ground that this was the most important time of the year for experienced life-savers to be on duty.
