Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBAN, The Daily Kanzan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go faculty-to-faculty; to give students experience in the university hold; to play no favorites; to be clients; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more about the program; in all, to serve the best of its ability to students of the University. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1913. The unstoppable stride of system, merit and spirit as typified in Kansas athletics this year will not be checked tomorrow at Norman when the Jayhawkers meet the Oklahoma Sooners. The Kansas machine has a stride, a shift and a punch this year that "looks mighty good" to us. And while we are pulling for the team let's remember that it took teamwork in the athletic management to get such results. The modest benefactor who gave the Y. M. C. A. $500 yesterday has a large number of contemporaries on the hill. A COMBINATION FOR OKLAHOMA TO SOLVE Manager Hamilton as guiding spirit in the combination certainly comes in for commendation in this connection. Back of crafty old Mosse and fiery Frank and the team is a system of athletic management that any school might well be proud of. And it's largely Manager Hamilton's. We respectfully call the public's attention to an addition to the mouse-colored chapel's color scheme—a new carpet. The Oklahoma football game will be played Friday instead of Saturday. The Sooners come sooner, it seems. WHY SO SOON? A SANE JAYHAWKER Fully as much responsibility as honor came to a number of University students yesterday when they were made members of the 1914 Jayahawk board. While representatives of the class, the board members are at the same time assuming considerable responsibility to the University. Kansas is now in the throes of a politico-educational upheaval and things that concern state schools are being more and more closely seruistized and criticized by the taxayer and the business man removed by the high cost of living from the drobbing atmosphere of student life. Let us, therefore, remember that when the 1914 Jayhawk comes out it will be more than ever looked to as an index to what the University is doing for the sons and daughters of Kansas taxpayers. Many things that have been conspicuous in Jayhawkers of the past are but the froth of student life, but such have been seized upon as the substance, and the school has suffered. Let's put out a book that can be conscientiously out before high school students and taxpayers as the product of what Kannas really stands for. Let is not be said of this class that it put out an annual that cannot be sent into Kansas high schools because it sets false standards of student life at the University, and makes the taxpayer grit his teeth and say, "And I pay for such foolishness as that." HERPICIDE CAN SAVE IT The cunning little mustache which adorned the upper tip of "tub" Malloy, guard on the Varsity football team, has been shaved off. This is a fatal error, to which the attention of the coaches should be called. He can no longer touchdown. ALL GOOD JAYHAWKERS NOW A good example of the changed feeling between schools was shown in the recent Aggie football game at Manhattan. Kansas rooters visiting Manhattan two years ago were not accorded much of a welcome; this year the Aggies displayed the best sportsmanship toward winning visitors and a losing home team we have ever seen. Chancellor Strong's plea for cooperation in state schools embodied in his address at the Kansas State Agricultural College semi-centennial yesterday is in our opinion the keynote of present educational needs in Kansas, and we believe that much in that direction has already been accomplished between the student bodies of the state schools at least. The students of the state schools are a little bit ahead, we believe, in reaching an understanding that we're all good Jayhawkers together.

CRITICISM OF COLLEGES Ever since the dark ages when some one or other stumbled on the great truth that there were two sides to every question, college men have no doubt been urged to banish beer and frivolity from their youthful lives. From Bismark down few have done so. Consequently Mr. Bols declares that college men are lacking in brains and courtesy, Mr. Brown claims that they are flabby dilettantes, Mr. Crane that they are drunkards. Most Mr. Jones' and Mr. Smith's think that they are fools. The blight is spreading while college enrollments are increasing. It is certainly queer—two incompatibles living on each other. Probably verdant youths are coming to college these days to find out what strange manner of men a four years' college course is going to turn them into—to gather chameleon-sense. The truth is that there are a lot of nervous wrecks who are not happy unless they are trying to reform something that they know nothing about. Every rabid, radical or grape-juice advocate who happens to have been on the rampant long enough to believe that he is an image of God, always takes a fling at our system of education. It has become such a live topic that anyone who takes the trouble to prepare a cutting enough denunciation of our colleges can burst into print without the slightest difficulty. The consequence is that the average parent with a son eligible to enter a University is at a total loss as to whether college is worth while. And the real educators, the presidents of the universities, are at a disadvantage because they cannot compete with yellow press-agents.—Daily Princetonian. The charity which begins at home is seldom appreciated.—Life. To brag a little, to show well, to crow gently if in luck; to pay up, to own up, and to shut up if beaten—these are the virtures of a real sportsman—Personality. Unfamiliar Verses SONGS OF A SYRIAN LOVER SONGS OF A SYRIAN LOVER I know the wells of Kerk Hawar, I know the founts of Banias. And how, beneath the vesper star, The maidens pause, the maidens pass. Where the jackals mount as guard Nineveh is but a shard And many there are wondrous fair, And many there are wondrous sweet;— But oh, the shadows of her hair! And oh, the music of her feet! Only lizards glide or run Through the streets of Babylon Time has gulfed in his abyss Susa and Persepolis. Now that the late dances have been forbidden here the Emporia Gazette suggests that Lawrence should be called Tangonoxie. Empty names, and that is all— Love, see how the rose-leaves fall! —Clinton Scollard. Ever Ready they are fallen, faded things. Like the prowess of their kings; When a fellow has money to burn the chronic borrower is a match for him.—New York Mail. Sized Up. "That young Galey is a ship of the old block, isn't he?" "Rather a tooth of the old rake." Judge. AS IT WERE! Kiss her my boy! Your a fool if you won't— She's scream if you do, But she'll cry if you don't. "There is a greater university than Kansas or Yale or Princeton," said Dean Brown of Yale in chapel Tuesday, — "The school of experience, whose colors are black and blue, from the knocks received in the rough contact with the world." Daily Illini. In University and other rural circles Halloween is regarded as the psychological moment for the gathering of souvenirs and for the embellishment of public edifices with adornments not included in the original architectural plans, the law permitting college men and yokels to remove gates of all kinds from their original setting and to use them to decorate the walls of their apartments. Church beds, cast-iron stags and other bits of portable ironwork may be appropriated with impunity; and such bits of delicate humor as the placing of a Lager Beer Sign over the front of the Public Library or the hanging of a pawnbroker's emblem over the facade of a church are regarded as wholly de rigueur, not is entirely au fait. Bobbing for Apples with a pretty girl by the light of a Jack-o'-lantern is a diversion much practiced on Halloween and is provocative of much mith and an occasional matrimonial engagement, whence the phrase, "There's many a slip 'twist the pip and the lip." -Judge.
