Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LONDON Lawrence. The Daily Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further with the vision of the University; to play no favorites, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more, to serve more; in all, to care for the out-of-towns of the University. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1913. DOWN WITH "PEPLESS" CHAPEL The chapel committee, or whoever is responsible for it, has in our opinion made a serious mistake in no longer allowing cheering in the new mouse-colored chapel. Is that new coats of paint such a sacred thing that it can't stand the sound of Rock Chalk? Is not our school yell—(it isn't a yell—it's a hymn!) as sacred in its way as any prayers ever in chapel? as any players we encounter. Consider the effect of new students that the old familiar Rock Chalk in chapel used to have. We will never forget that first chapel exercise when, as a freshman, we heard old Fraser, packed to the doors, ring with the deep unison of Rock Chalk from a thousand voices. It impressed us mighty; the cold shivers that ran up and down our spine can't be forgotten; the feeling of being part owner in that yell, and a member of a great University, made the whole world look different. Now all that is no more; the impressive, almost sacred performance of old Rock Chalk is left almost entirely to the bleachers, and a near-thousand freshmen have never felt the thrill that Rock Chalk in chapel for the first times brings. And we venture they have missed something none of the rest of us would give up for a whole lot. We hope the land does not burst any neck muscles when it "blows" lusce for those new uniforms. TEMPERAMENTAL KANSAS The union of two of the University's dramatic clubs will doubtless give the faculty at least an hour more sleep age night. According to Chancellor Strong, football is a minor evil compared with dramas when it comes to diverting students from their studies and causing negligibility. Still, who can blame the students? "Lives there a student with soul so dead" who, if he hasn't thought himself a born singer, has at some time had stage ambitions, or even the modest desire to play the bass drum in the band? The faculty must make allowance for the "artistic temperament" when dealing with student weaknesses; dramatics is certainly one of them. --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). EVERYBODY OUT! As "Whiney John," the wandering Russian peddler used to say, "don't fail to miss it,"—the appearance of the moving picture man on Mt. Oread Friday. CONVICTED! NINE RAHS FOR HAPGOOD If in this autumn weather the strenuous game of the college seems altogether out of proportion in the general scheme of disorder, reflect that this is no new thing. For in the Kuei-chien-hu you shall read of that most human of emperors of the Han dynasty who, one hundred years before the Christian era, "made football his chief occupation so that literary studies fell into disrepute." When touse-headed youths in padded jeers divert more than their just share of attention from impachment, murder, and the social evil rememBER Hsi Tsung, that magnificent sportsman, who two thousand years ago put to death his prime minister for daring butt in the game with trivial matters of State. Of that modern time, so long ago, it is also written that the people came in great numbers to the football grounds where "the ball flew across like the moon." Just as it is now, victory then was plorious, defeat bitter. For while the winners, their foreheads bound with flowers, broke training with fruit and wine and "rich gifts of brade," from a neighboring compound rose the sound of mighty lashings where the captain of the losing side was being publicly flogged. So in these crisp afternoons, in key with the changing seasions, it is an age-old motif that now dominates the symphony of sport. Staaccio notes of baseballs meeting theymph momently crescendo before they fade into a sonorous prelude of wood winds appropriate to the falling leaves and a football booms into the major with thenote of a big bassoon.—Norman Hapgood in Harper's Weekly. COMMUNICATIONS We don't picture the show managers of Lawrence get up programs different from those which they have been offering to as? When we students go down town to indulge in five cents worth of movie entertainment, we don't want to be presented with a collection of hackneyed谍媒. We are not in a frame of mind to sit through three reels of heart-tending stuff after a day of French verbs and inorganic chemistry. We have grown tired of New York cowbys riding live plug bronchos. Cardboard mansions and glass diamond society ceases to enchant us. No longer do we thrill at seeing the beautiful heroine rescued from the cruel dagger of the heartless villain, nor do we feel much interested in the woman who forgets that she is married while her husband's business partner is around. while her nudity. What would it we give for a picture that would make us oblivious of that approaching quiz, or to forget that awful recitation we made today? Give us a comedy. We don't care what the subject is. If the picture can make us "laugh right out" just like we used to do when we saw the curved clowns, then we'll pay our nickels gladly and give the manager a boost every time we get a chance. chance. Anything that's funny will do. A crabid old man, an unremorseable spinster, a lover more perseverant than Jacob, or even a fat man who falls over everything in sight—just put them into a ludicrous situation and we'll fall for them. Anything from slapstick to O. Henry—if it has a laugh. HUNGRY STUDIO H. Maloy, Editor ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE A student in the communication column of the "Daily Palo Alto" laments the way professors are becoming distant to the students. "But," he says, "as they say in the saw mill in Battle Creek, 'There's a Reason.'" The Kansas "Aggie," in commenting on our football prospects, speak sarcastically on "the much-tooted Greenlees." "Tooted" is right. Wait till he puts on that express train effect in tearing down through the Aggie line. They will wish they had moved when he tooted. Toot, Toot. Barely Possible The police at Madison, Wisconsin are intending to arrest all students who take part in the barbeque parade this fall. This is a parade in which none of its participants wear anything above the belt line. Smacks of Quackery A student at Missouri University was ducked in the University lake last week for not wearing his cap. A freshman is often associated with a goose but seldom is "ducked." Swimmers Attention Authorities at the University of Wisconsin estimate the amount of money students there spend for alcoholic drinks totals up more than $20,000; and nobody seems to pay much attention to it. No Secret There. At the University of Ohio the students are forming a "Student Court" to try all students connected with violations on campus and in class room. A box is placed in the hall where students may drop complaints, tell of violations of rules and who violated them, so that the court can have some thing to work from in tracing crimes. Half the jurors are girls. ADAM'S APPLE APPETITE How many apples were eaten by Adam and Eve? We know that Eve 81, and that Adam 812; total, 939. But that wasn't all. You see, Adam 8,142 please his wife, and Eve 81,242 please Adams; total, 89,348. Then again Eve 81,242 fy herself, and Adam promptly 8,124,240 fy himself; total, 8,938,480 - Topea Capital. IN CHINA, MIND YOU In China, when a subscriber rings up the exchange, the operator may be expected to ask: Hohi, two-three. Silence. Then the exchange. Will the homeowner graciously forgive the injured person, the insignificant service, and permit this humble slave of the wire to inform him that the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed line is busy? What number does the honorable son of the moon and stays desire? SPEAKING OF THE ADM. BUILDING Hon, two women: Silence. Then the exchange resumes: —Wasp. A regular pest of flies has seemingly invaded the Agricultural college. Why they should pick out this one building it is not known, but the fact remains that they are in it. Baldheaded professors almost say things through their breath every time one of the "drafted things" lands upon his dome. Every class room, every laboratory, and even the offices which are not screened are simply filled with the pests. Sleepy studies have their gentle slumbers rudely disturbed by a fly walking into their open mouths or singing a song in their ears. their open mouth. What causes a number of files at this time is hard to be sure, but it also hard to tell why someone in authority does not take proper steps to get rid of the pests. Fly swatters might do the job—Dally Illini. The Daily Kansan in inviting Kansas high school correspondence again this year is acting on the policy that so long as there is a paper at the University, that paper should, by all means, help advertise the school and attract students. BLOWING OUR OWN HORN To carry out that policy the student paper this year is sending out 900 exchange copies free, 400 of them to high schools, for which the paper gets nothing. The students on the paper must bear that expense which will total close around $600 when the year is over. W. C. YCONNELLE, Physician and Nurse Homi Baba Hospital, 14364 Old Dominion Trail, Tenn.
