The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University. The University holds the Bachelor's degree and the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more about history; in all, to care to the best of its students of the University.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1913.
The bed was made, the room was fit.
By punctual eve the stars were lit;
The air was still, the water ran;
No need there was for maid or man,
When we put up, my ass and I,
At God's green caravanser.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
THE KANSAS SPIRIT
In these days of football rallies and "Kansas Spirit!" the announcement of the actual receipt by the University of the Robinson estate brings up the question, what is the Kansas spirit?
No one familiar with the story of how the Robinson estate came to the University, or how Dr. Robinson himself was largely instrumental in selecting Mt. Oread as the site of this University, will deny that the pioneer governor had the real Kansas spirit. He looked ahead and pictured on Mt. Oread the great University that is now here, and even in death did not forget the institution he helped found.
Contrast with Dr. Robinson's devoted ambition for his state our football rallies and bursts of enthusiasm over an athletic triumph, and ask yourself which is the Kansas spirit? Or is the Kansas spirit something deeper, something shown not so much by flaunting public demonstration as by unassuming but very real devotion to a high ideal, and a certain amount of honorable achievement?

Now is the time for all friends of the University band who dance to come to the aid of McCanles' horn-blowing ragamuffins.
HELP THE BAND
When the band gives its free concert followed by a hop in the gymnasium tomorrow night, the attendance of every student who would like to see the bandmen have some clothes besides having a good time will help out like everything. Make your dates early.

Faculty Kindly Note:--Football rallies seem to increase chapel attendance.
Let's have a chapel rally once a week from now on. There's nothing like a little real "pep" to keep the student body alive and interested in things. Moreover, the freshmen need rehearsing in the yells and should, by careful attention in the mouse-colored chapel, absorb a lot of the good old-fashioned spirit that makes the Thundering Thousand back the team losing as well as winning.
LAW BEAMS
Burdick-"Gentlemen, we must have it quiet. I wish you would record my class as a funeral."
And then he proceeded to slay about thirty to fill the
hearse.
The above is clipped from "The Quill," a literary annual published at the University in 1910. Late reports from the School of Law indicate that the slaughter is still going on.
A Chance
The society for the prevention of useless noises might make a start by reducing the number of cheers from three to one.

EVEN AS IN OUR MIDST
People are pretty much the same the world over and freshmeat are no exception. We all have practically the same problems to meet, and meet them in nearly the same way.
Only a short time ago we were objecting to the University Council usurping the power of the Student Council in the matter of freshman caps and then the freshmen settled the whole argument themselves by voluntarily donning the lids. At Leland Stanford University there was the same problem which was settled in the same way as here, according to the Daily Palo Alto:
The Freshmen And The Caps.
The freshmen have come forth in a fine spirit to help established a year-old custom of the freshman cap. They are doing this of their own accord and not because any one told them to do it. This is in line with good spirit and the first year men are to be complimented upon their good judgment in responding to the customs and tradition of the school.
The decision of the court in the editorial sanctum of the Pacific coast is,hereby sustained. The freshmen at the University of Kansas also are to be complimented.
"The first game I saw," says a European in a letter to the Weekly Telegraph, "I mistook for a serious riot. To begin with each side was fifty strong, and as it was in Northern China, most of the players were six feet tall, and heavy in proportion. They had no goals, side-lines or halves. The idea of the game is to carry a small basket, which serves as a ball, into the opponent's territory. The game is fought out in the streets, and he has a whistle to call for assistance when he is to harp for security. Stealth, as well as force, is permitted, but one man who got the ball across the enemy's line by climbing over the roofs of houses. As you may imagine, a hundred gigantic men yelling and fighting all over the public streets are pretty certain to cause excitement."-Youth's Companion.
Our football—whether Association or Rugby—is played according to rule. Not so the football of China. There the contest is curiously primitive, and free and easy.

Press Comment
WORTH READING
Followers of the Jayhawkers are convinced that this is Kansas' year. With harmony in the camp, with material that has rarely been equalled, and with the best coaching and training staff that has been at Oread for years, things look rosy for the wearers of the Crimson and the Blue.
The staff of coaches is composed of Arthur St. Leger Mose, Leonard Frank, and W. O. Hamilton.
Head Coach Moss has been connected with Kansas football fortunes since the year John Brown fought his battles at Osawatomie. There is an unauthenticated rumor that Mosse invented football. For years he was the assistant to Bert Kennedy, and helped him mold the famous ever-victorious eleven in 1908. As a football tactician Mosse is unequalled. He can look at an opposing team for ten minutes and tell more about its strength and weakness than its own coach knows.
Assistant Coach Leonard Frank could have been elected governor of Kansas last fall if the K. U. student body had held the balance of power. Frank is the boy who imported the Minnesota shift. If it were not such bad form, we might remark that he put the "sour" in Missouri. For the benefit of those who do not understand the Minnesota shift we will explain that the team which uses it shifts forward in an unbroken procession of gains in the direction of the opponent's ball and a down it made, whereupon the ball is kicked off again, and the same process is undergone. Frank deserves all the credit he received for the success of the team last
"Bill" Hamilton is the manager of the team, the coach of basket-ball, and track, and the general utility man on condition, and everything else. Himself an authority on question of football tactics, and a master of condition, Hamilton has proved himself invaluable to K. U. athletics. In addition, he is personally and entirely responsible for the wonderful success that the state school has achieved in basket-ball. Hamilton is a member of the Phi Gam fraternity, to which a large number of the Atchison K. U. men belong.
Captain Bill Weidlein will lead the Jayhawkers this year. Weidlein is an aggressive, consistent performer at tackle, and is in addition, an exceptionally reliable place kicker. Last year against Missouri he put the spheroid over the Missouri goal for two field goals.—E. W. Clausen in Atchison Champion.
Dodging Promotion.
Ask the editor what his greatest joy is, and instead of telling you he survives only through the great amount of honor, money, dignity, or in his job, he will lead you, proudly, to his communication column and point out the signature, "Hungry Stude."
There is a chafing-dish period for every college girl, but when the time comes for the promotion to the higher hard by a grand square cooking-stove, most of the graduates prefer to toot the alarm-whistle on a lounge.
THE EDITOR'S JOY
The editor is human like the rest of you, and he is easily pleased. In his exalted position (between classes) he dreams over the untold and unsung possibilities he has to "mold the minds" of his fellow citizens.
-Dallas News.
When he gets a communication he gladly uses a high-priced liniotype operator setting up an attack on the amount of ozone in the atmosphere or a modest request that we supply plenty of gas through the winter, just to let people know his paper is eagerly every night, is sought for, waited for, fought for, and cherished.
The badge of this influence, the one sign by which the editor knows his powerful and telling paper is being read, is therefore, the communication column. May it wax fatter and fatter!
