Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBAN, Lawrence. The Daily Kansan arm is to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely to memorize class names and dates; to be more fruitful than no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to other hands; in all, to serve to the best of its ability. MONDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1913. The langiid warmth of humid summer winds That stir the heavy heads of swaying wheat, Is like the sluggish sense of beaten men. Yet unreiven from yesterday's defeat. -Anna R. Manley. WE CAN BE SENSIBLE AFTER ALL The overwhelming success of the first University dance in the gymnasium Friday night leaves no room for further complaint about dancing at the University. A way has at last been found to give everybody who likes to dance a chance to do so with University approval. Everybody had a good time, and the right kind of a good time, the kind no one except those looking with disfavor on all dancing can criticise. The Student Council should follow up this good start and make such affairs the custom. BARRELS NEXT? For the second time this fall the University band appeared before the bleachers on McCook at a football game without uniforms. Last week the band wore raincoats; a little more warmth Saturday and they might well have carried fans; but suits—no, the ordinary clothes satisfy most of us. If the Student Council doesn't hurry up and give that dance for the band's benefit, some Lawrence merchant may beat them to it by outfitting the band in barrels. In the meanwhile the Coxey's Army delegation blows long and valiantly and uncomplainingly but above all, willingly and loyally. 809 Ere's 'oping e's 'appy, 'ead-writer of "Oread-Appenings." Speaking of the Philadelphia Athletics, "Mac" McCanless and the University band, why not call our horn-blowing ragamuffins "Macmen?" CAPS FOR GIRLS At the University of Wisconsin there is a rule requiring freshman girls to wear a green button to show that this is their first year at school. The sophomore women think the new plan will greatly help in getting the new girls acquainted. "I wish we had had the pins last year," one sophomore declared. "I would feel just like talking to every girl who I know is as fresh as I am, and think of the embarrassment I would have been spared, for I never would have mistaken a senior for one of my classmates." Since the freshman boys here at Kansas wear distinguishing caps why should not the girls of the class have some insignia? Why does not the Women's Student Government Association make a ruling similar to that of the Men's Student Council? The girls would like it as well as the boys do. MY. AIN'T WE GOOD? "Tango! Tango! Tango! Special class for advanced dancers, in Hosia, T恳慰 Waltz, and One Step. Wednesday at 8 p. m. Phone 1770. Prof. Kehl's Academy." The above advertisement, in black face type, appears in the Wisconsin Daily News, published by the students of the University of Wisconsin. In another college daily we find an ad reading thus: "Try us for that next Tango Party. All the latest hits our specialty. The Olympic Quintette. The best music in town. H. A. Peterman, Mgr. Phone 622." We in Lawrence, where tangs are taboo, are justified in saying with Little Jack Horner, "My, what a good boy am I." SWEET AND TWENTY You are sweet-and-twenty, sweet, Tho' hastening years a-plenty. Have come and gone with frightened feet, Since first they numbered twenty. All the seasons that appear, Then round to their completeness, Leave you still but twenty, dear. And adds but to your sweetness. John P. Shea. 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: There is no place on the bleachers at McCook field except, perhaps, on the newly section below the west ground. A woman who dislikes tobacco smoke may choose a seat with some.degree of assurance that she will be free from the annoyance of breathing smoke throughout the game? Editor of the Daily Kansan:- In front of me Saturday in "Section FF, University girls and ladies with escorts (positively no smoking in this section)" were three ESCORTS who, with pipe and cigarettes, made things disagreeable for those of us behind who rather resented missing several of the I-don't know-how-many touchdowns in a blur of smoke. Not far away were two brave K. N. G. uniformed ushers, one with a gun; but being to windward, he didn't use it. L.C. Mothers of Men (The burning of the steamy Volturno in mid-ocean last week recalls the horrors of the Titanic. Below is a poem on the heroism of the men of the Titanic written by Willard A. Wattles, a former University student now teaching in Massachusetts. Wattles is considered one of the most promising writers ever turned out at the University and has had considerable poetry published by the Independent and other magazines.) On the wings of the riven lightning through the abysses of space Flashes a far sea-whisper that whitens a nation's face; Down to the sunless chasms where strange sea-monsters sprawl. Plunges an ocean casket freighted for burial. Plunges an ocean casket frightened 19, Serenity Over the waste of waters from sable-shrouded lands A thousand mothers stretch tonight their mute and amute heads. Like queens they stand, triumphant, though sorrow is their crown— The men they mourn went down to death, but watched no woman drown. Read What Pleases. A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good. —Samuel Johnson. What The Freshman Ought to Avoid 209 Freshettes. Asymptotes.

Did it ever occur to you that a man's life is full of cross and temptations? He comes into this world without his consent and goes out against his will, and the trip between the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the features of the trip. features of him. When he it little the big girls kiss him and when he is grown the little girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a bad manager, if he is rich he is dishonest. If he needs credit he can't get it, if he is prosperous everyone wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics it's for the pie, if he is out of poli- ties you can't find a place for him and he is no good to the country. If he doesn't give to charity he is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for the show. If he is actively religious he is a hypocrite, if he takes no interest in religion he is a hardened sinner. Young Lawyer (having passed his exams)—"Well, I'm glad it's over. I've been working to death the last few years trying to get my legal education." If he gives affection he is a soft specimen, if he cares for no one he is cold blooded. If he dies young there was a great future before him, if he lives to an old age he misses his calling. His Wait. The road is rocky but man loves to travel it.—Drake Delphic. "Couldn't stand it any longer, old man. The other evening, when I arrived fifteen minutes late, she told me I must bring an excuse in writing, signed by my mother." Duke Dahlic. "Who did you break your engagement with the school-roless?" Boston Transcript. Old Lawyer—"Well, cheer up, my boy; it'll be a long time before you have any more work to do." Unfamiliar Verses MOUNTAIN VERSES Peace in the wooded stillness of the night And in the murmur of the waters, peace, The world's hot heart in wonder seems to ease From beating, bulled by far, off-scarce light. Lake, forest, fish that swims and bird that flies, Wild beast, protections that on the morrow dies— Far, all. Yet there is unrest in my inmost soul— A nameless yearning for an unknown goal, A low, insistent call. —Geo. S. Hellman.

Two boys of Emporia, Kans., ran away from home to seek their fortune, after reading a biographical sketch of Dick Whittington. They got as far as Kansas City, where the centurions encompassed them and took them to the police station. There the captain questioned them closely, and, having drawn forth much useful information, finally asked: "Why did you boys run away from Emporia?" "Well," replied the elder of the pair, thoughtfully, "there's nothing there but William Allen White, and we got tired of hearing of him." Galleri, Weekly —Collier's Weekly.

Semi-indignant feminine voice—"Now, George! You out!" George (Magnificently)—"There are no quitters in Drake." -Drake Daily Delphic PEANUT JOURNALISM One of the violations of Colorado spirit—one which is much more harmful than the attitude of indifference which is sometimes taken by members of our student body—in the practice of distorting the stories about University life which are printed in the Denver papers. The Boulder correspondents who are responsible for this practice must surely have little regard for the University. Of course we want the University advertised. We also want the facts to be portrayed as fairly are. Almost any story can be seen from a view point which will lend it color and personality play up stuff so that they are attractive only to the vulgar, when the stories of superficiality and suggest the risque, it is time the correspondents change their attitude. It is true that the paper of the metropolis are more or less yellow. They seem to want stuff which is crude. As one city editor said to an aspiring cub。“Bring us a story with a picture of a diaphanous gown and we will use it.” So if the Boulder men who write state papers feel that their first thought should be of their paper and the money which it pays them, these remarks are useless. But we submit that their first allegiance is to the University. It matters not whether they are students or not. They are at least citizens of Boulder and what hurts the University hurts the town and them. We know that positive harm has come to the University from the stories which go out from here. In some towns of the state respectable citizens regard the University of Colorado a questionable place to send their sons and daughters. A bad name is hard to live down—Colorado Silver and Gold.
