Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBAN, Lawrence The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go forppers who are part of the Undergraduate Faculty; to play no favors; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more; to all, to air; to the best of its ability; to students of the University. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1913. It is with narrow-soiled people as with narrow-necked bottles—the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. —Pope. SCHOOLMASTER OR EDITOR? The visit of E. E. Kelley, the "little giant" of the "Toronto Republican, to the university yesterday to address the classes in journalism reminds us that the man who is one of the most-quoted editors in Kansas is in years but a novice at the game; in short, he is an old-time schoolmaster but recently transplanted into the broader school of education, modern journalism. Perhaps that is why he came out ahead, a few years ago in his celebrated tilt with Norman Happgood over good usage; perhaps the addition of a few rules of rhetoric isn't a bad thing for a newspaper; perhaps a newspaper, after all, does not consist wholly in being a medium for the last thing happened. the last thing happened. It is our observation that E. E. Kelley, with his superior brand of English, is really at the head of present journalistic tendencies, viz—to write the news better, more accurately, more scientifically, in better style, and in purer English. AFTER THE SNOW Lives there a man with soul so dead Who has slipped on Adams and never said: !!!!!! ??? $$$$ "... , ******** ((..., ;; ;; )* (?) ONE MILE TO ANYWHERE The 29th of October, and did you see the valley south of Mt Oread this morning about eight o'clock? A University janitor was found on the south side of Fraser admiring the view to the neglect of his duties. A farmer coming by halted, too, and looked at what we have always imagined Switzerland is like. The printing force in the journalism department turned out en masse to gaze; but how many students did? Switzerland in the winter, and Paradise in the spring and fall, and Hades in August--dear old Kansas! Freshman—Innocence. Sophomores—No sense. Juniors—Nuisance. Seniors—No cents. Teachers—Patience. The Quill. WE'LL BEAT NEBRASKA It looks as if Nebraska has chosen a good year to humiliate Kansas with impunity. Kansas has been looking forward to the Nebraska game all fall as an opportunity to dissipate certain self-propelled claims to championship that have fogged Valley, football air. Then there is that matter of making good last year's fluke defeat. And best of all, Nebraska cannot possibly avoid meeting and being drubbed by Kansas now that the Ross affair has turned boomerang. Virtue is its own press agent, and this case is no exception. We are going to beat Nebraska this year any way it goes, gentleman's agreement or none. Suggestion from the Kansas City Star: "The University Daily Kansan advertises for an oboe player for the University band. Why not Harry Kemp, the oboe poet?" We had thought of him as the logical man for the place, but have been unable to obtain his services because of an important engagement which he has in England. Thales, philosopher, conducted from his house one night by his old housekeeper to see the stars, tumbled into a ditch. "Do you expect, sir," she asked, "ever to know things above your head when you don't see things under your feet?" Class Spirit Out of fifteen hundred freshmen at the University of Illinois, fifty attended the first meeting of the class. Coach Mosse drove up the hill near Green hall last Friday with his auto horn screeching at its loudest. "What's that noise?" asked Dr. Burdick. "Mosse," replied an embryonic attorney. "Sounds to me like remo'se," remarked the doctor and returned to his discussion of criminal "lore." Plenty of men follow a profession, but never catch up with it-The Pensive Pup.

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 Daily Kansan: Why doesn't this student take part in social activities? It is probably because he can find no place where he seems to fit in. No one seems to care whether he comes or not; he cannot talk; he feels awkward and he is not dressed like the others. After several attempts to mix with the crowd, he decides that it is not worth while anyway; that if he can succeed in his studies he need not pay any attention to society, or to what people think of him. So he stays apart from his fellows; he becomes different from then and is considered queer. He is conspicuous in his manner, dress and speech; always just a little different. He seeks associates of the same sort who tend to strengthen these peculiarities. Often he does not realize that he is different, and often he knows but does not care. But seldom does he realize that it is the lack of social life which has made him different. He has had no chance to compare his opinions with others and see where he is absurd or impractical. His idiosyncracies have not been smoothed down by constant contact with the average mind. The average is never the highest, and the majority is not always right, but they usually represent a pretty safe and sane level, which the independent person would do well to consider. An opinion, a custom or convention which is accepted by the majority must have something to recommend it. And if you expect to have dealings with the majority, you must conform to this opinion, custom, or convention. And if you do not associate with the majority, your sphere of action and influence will be small. A man is not equipped for efficient work in the world unless he can meet in terms of equality all classes of people; the polished society man as well as the cultivated farmer boy, and all the grades between. So the failure to fit into any social group is of more importance than at first appears. The fault is not in the social system, but in the individual. He lacks something which his education should be giving him. Let him waste no time in complaining, but find his social group and become a necessary part of it. Student Unfamiliar Verses SENTENCE Shall I say that what heaven gave Earth has taken? Or that sleepers in the grave Reawaken? One one sentence can I know, Can I say; You, my comrade, had to go. I to stay. -Witter Bynner. Wasted Sarcasm Indignant Wife—"I wonder what you would have done if you had lived when men were first compelled to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows." Indolent Husband "I should have started a little notion store and sold handkerchiefs." —Chicago Tribune. Old Aunt (despondently)—Well, I shan't be a nuisance to you much longer. On The Safe Side Boston Transcript. Nephew (reassuringly)—Don't talk like that, aunt; you know you will. "Why, Tommy," exclaimed the Sunday-School Teacher. "don't you say your prayers every night before you go to bed?" More to Come "Not any more," replied Tommy; "I uster when I slept ir a folded'in bed, though." Recently in Seattle in a cigar-stand appeared the sign, "We give $15.00 for 1900 Lincoln pennies" No less a person was attracted by this than Judge Watson. He walked up to the counter and laying down a penny triumphantly asked for $15.00. The clerk took the penny, examined it closely, asked if were genuine, and after several minutes sighed and said he guessed it was good. "Certainly it is," answered the Judge. "Where is my Boston Globe. "Where," said the clerk, "are the other 1908?" The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men—O. W Holmes. —Life.
