UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
100 N. WEST AVE.
The Daiyin Kanzan altars to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely represent it, to offer them a glimpse into their lives; to no longer have no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to lear more about the people in need; in all, to serve to the best of its ability at the students of the university.
FRIDAY,OCTOBER 31,1913.
The only thing we need now is the laziest professor to pair off with Gee. O. Foster.
WELCOME, GOVERNOR BALDWIN
The University is glad to have Governor Baldwin of Connecticut here today, with its own state executive playing the part of host "on the sidelines."
The two governors have enough in common for men representing the extremes of New England conservatism and western freedom to attract the most lassitudinous of us. When a Democrat can carry a Republican state for governor we have an instinctive impulse to sit up and take notice; for that, in staid old Connecticut, sounds a good deal like Kansas.
As a radical, a governor, a scholar and jurist, we welcome Governor Baldwin as one of our own kind. Kansas likes radicals.
We appreciate most the compliments we don't deserve. The Pensive Pup.
I hear Socrates says that the best seasoning for food is hunger; for drink, thirst—Cicero.
SPEAKING OF HOME-COMINGS
The plan of home-coming day about the time Nebraska plays Kansas should attract every K. U. alumnus from the wilde of Mexico to the smoke of Pjitsburg, nothing else excepted.
Home-coming isn't home-coming unless at that time old familiar things happen again. Well, what more could one want than what we'll have on McCook field November 15?
There'll be the Cornhuskers lined up against the Jay hawkers. The personnel of the two teams is different, but that's about all. In place of "Tommy" Johnson we have "Rammy" Wilson; in place of "Swede" Carlson and "Bill" Caldwell and "Tub" as well and all the rest we have something every bit as good: "Bill" Weildein, "Butch" Stueve, "Tony" James, Willard Burton, and in all ways the sand-shifting backfield you ever saw. Moreover we can get the "open," and we're going to beat Nebraska. Doesn't that sound like "home-going?"
Doesn't that sound like "home-coming?"
If the Kansas Aggies are called Farmers and have a Haymaker on the team, what should the Kansan board be called which had a Plowman on the staff?
ROBBEING YOURSELVES
As regular class work starts, it seems fitting and advisable that a few words be said about the system of "cuts." Freshmen invariably seem to get a mistaken idea of the purpose of "cuts" and consider them a privilege which they should not fail to take advantage of. During four years this impression is rarely changed.
The purpose of the system is to allow for contingencies as they may arise. The majority of undergraduates construct the rule to allow a vacation of two weeks in all courses during each term. This is a wrong and harmful interpretation. "Cub" were not established in order to give the students more free time. The College period is short enough without this curtailing.
If we stop to consider that the College year is in reality little more than half a year of actual class-room work, we can readily see how foolish it would be to take away, four more weeks. Unless presence in class is absolutely impossible, a man, to be fair to himself, should not stay away. The system should not be considered one of privilege. It was designed to cover cases of illness and unavoidable absence, and its use should stop there—Pennsylvanian.
Witless Wit
James A Garfield once said that his ideal of a college was a pine table with a boy on one side and Mark Hopkins on the other.
Perhaps this was an impractical ideal, but it is one which the world cannot afford to lose. It puts emphasis on the inspiration and leadership of a great personality, rather than on elaborate "equipment." As colleges grow rich, there is a tendency to put more faith in materials and less in men; to pile up splendid buildings and fill them with "custy apparatus," while neglecting the personal vision and enthusiasm without which libraries and laboratories are little more than expensive deserts—Chicago Journal.
A LA MODE
The editor of the society page of the Reville, published at University of Louisiana at Baton Rouge has our society reporter entirely outclassed when it comes to using flowery language. From a recent issue we quote:
"The cool breeses from the University Lake swept through the open windows all evening and gently added to the enjoyment of the dancers. Throughout the evening exhilarating punch was served by gracious hosts.
"The room was prettily decorated and formed an effective setting for the dancers. A number of fair visitors added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening."
COMMUNICATIONS
(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).
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
It seems to me the blame for at least part of this cheating here will have to be laid at the door of "those higher up". What's a freshman, anxious for a string of 's to show to the adimiring folks back home, to think when he sees an upperclassman or perchance a member of the Student Council or one whom he has heard of as active in Y. W. or Y. M. work, steal a glance at his neighbor's quiz book? Well he's probably going to come to the conclusion that it doesn't require much honor or honesty to climb in the scale of student activities and he isn't going to consider it a matter of much importance if, when he's in a hurry he borrows his roommate's German sentences. Or he may accept gladly the bundle of old exercises which some well-meaning friend has made him heir to. It isn't all the fault of upperclassmen and those in student offices and it's probably thoughtlessness on their part but it's about time to begin to think about this cheating question. Why should we have a sense of honor less keen than our eastern brothers and sisters. There it's a "social error" to do dishonest work as well as a question of honor and a man or girl is made to feel that it is.
Well—it's easy enough to talk about how much and how perfectly terrible it all is but the real point is—what are we going to do about it? In some places they have a system whereby it's a student's duty to "tell on" another student who has been seen cheating. I don't believe that we want that here at K. U. But all you students who have expressed your views and opinions of the cause and result of dishonesty get to work and think out a plan by which we can make K. U. just as clean a school as there is anywhere.
WHOM DOES IT FIT?
Student.
Breathes there a stude with mien so meek
Whose mouth has never sprung a leak
To tell the coach a big pipe dream
On how he ought to run the team?
If such there be, make haste, by heck!
And hang a cow bell round his neck;
Go tack a medal on his breast
And honor him above the rest.
-Darn in Drake Delphic.
K. U. HALLOWEEN
This, gentle reader, is an informative editorial, in which the editor will attempt to tell you of life as it is lived at this institution of learning, and, more particularly, as it will be lived Friday evening, Halloween.
If you, fellow citizens of Lawrence, expect your clothes line to be cut and your picket fence to be broken; and you, esteemed keeper of a student boarding house, expect your windows to be soaked (though, goodness knows, it might do them good); and you, loquacious student tonsorial artist, expect to have your victims carry your red, white, and gold pillar from its station before your shop to the steepee of the Congregational church—you will be disappointed if we students have to do it. We have put aside some of our childish ways, and besides, we have other things to do.
And you, friend knocher of the University of Kansas, will be terribly disappointed, won't you, if we students don't get out and raise the dickens? If there isn't a sensational story the next day in your local paper how we painted the town red and turned it topsy-turvy you'll wonder what has happened to the old time exuberance of youth.
young.
Youth still exuberates, but not in the boisterous manner of old. Many students are going home to mother over the week-end, there being no game in town, or anything more important than a student council party in the gymnasium. Others are going to Kansas City or to Oklahoma with the football team. For those who remain in town there are two dances Friday evening, one in the University gymnasium, one given by the Daughters of the American Revolution to raise money for a girl's scholarship program. Those who do not dance will find special programs at the motion picture houses, offering about as exciting and as wicked amusement as one can find in Lawrence.
Then there are those, and goodly numbers of them, who have so much work to do that they cannot stop for a little thing like Halloween. Our beloved professors take pains to see that we have enough to do to keep us out of mischief, and many students there be, who through love of necessity, will study Friday evening.
we have to usable in print at all, (and it probably does since you are reading it), it means that we have used all our argumentative powers and Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to convince the managing editor that there is not an apostrophe (') in Halloween.
Kind friends who expect us to tear up the town tonight, we hate to disappoint you.
