The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely to give students a good educational experience; and to no longer favorookies, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courant; to leave more room for discussion; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

ALL HAIL A GOOD LOSER
In spite of the many crudities of University politics, there is after all some redemption in student elections. Of course someone has to lose and suffer loss of pride. But we know of nothing better than losing an election at the hands of our peers. There is a curative something about being everlastingly beaten that adjusts the perspective a fellow has on himself in an astonishing manner.
If we were sure we could defeat gracefully, we're father lose an election than win it, any day.
At this distance, the K U. tango row looks more like sound and fury, and 50 cents a column for hustling correspondents than anything serious—Emporia Gazette.
THE TEAM NEEDS YOU TOMORROW
When Kansas meets Washington tomorrow afternoon on McCook field every student in the University should be there with his lungs tuned up in good working order to help support the team.
If it keeps on raining and the field is slippery every rooter will be needed just so much more. It will be hard for any team to score but the Jayhawkers simply must score. It will help them if they feel the students are behind them.
The saying that half the game lies with the team's backing is pretty well worn, but it is just as true as ever. Let's everybody let the men know we're behind them tomorrow, all the time, win or lose. Lots of pop!
THE LONG-HAIRED PROFESSOR AGAIN
President Wilson's decree banishing the roller towet from all government buildings is another boost for Dr Crumbine, head of the University medical school, and in incidentally, the University itself.
It begins to look as if the long-haired professor isn't so bad after all, doesn't it?
Some men are born advertised, some achieve advertisement, and some have advertisements thrust upon them. —Life.
ADVERTISING FOR HONORS
While the advertisements for various class ticket carried in last night's Daily Kansan showed enterprise on the part of the various candidates and were welcome to the Kansan's bank account, those advertisements represent an unfortunate tendency in University class elections.
There is no doubt that the tendency here is to seek class honors, not accept them. The tendency is unfortunate.

Why The Editor Left Town
An error crept into an obituary article last week—instead of “timely loss” this ought to have read “untimely loss.”—Edgar (Wis.) News.
The Shower Bath in Kansas
The farmers in this vicinity are looking fine since the rain.—Marion Herald
According to the Ottawa Herald, E. C. Meservey, chairman of the alumni committee of the University of Kansas, writes to the student paper of his alma mater at Lawrence, to the effect that he has received 2,000 letters from former graduates who wish the Thanksgiving game to be played in Kansas City. One would hardly have thought, the Herald adds, that 2,000 persons would get thirsty enough to write about it at the same time.—Emporia Gazette.
BACK HOME?
Remember how Tommy Johnson used to come tearing down the field with the ball, while frenzied Kansans cracked the blue empirewan—empirewoman is a proper word, it is assumed, in speaking of things academic—and their throats at the same time? Or how Ted Hackney could put a drop kick right between the goal posts, to the despair of all Jayhawkers and the hysterical joy of the teammates. He said that the tiger guarded the lobby of the old Midland, and when the streets of the town echoed to the unacustomed explosion of the college yells?
Great old days, they were. They warmed the hearts of the old grads who flocked to Kansas City from all parts of the two states, and made this a college town for a brief, bright moment. How many boys, do you suppose, were stirred with the desire to share in the college life, because of what they saw at the time of the Thanksgiving day game?
Well, the game has been carried off to Lawrence and Columbia, and it hasn't been a great success. The towns aren't convenient to the alumni and the distance is great for any large number of students to travel. The vote of the Kansas students the other day showed an overwhelming majority for moving back to Kansas City. Presumably the same sentiment exists at Columbia. There is no question as to how the Perkus Kansas City, as a rank outsider, has no business having a opinion. But it really isn't a rank outsider and if the members of the faculties and the governing boards and such should see their way clear to review the situation on the initiative of the exceedingly intelligent Kansas board—why, Barkis is willin'—Kansas City Times.
One would think from the above that Kansas City was made up entirely of K. U. alumni broken-hearted over the prospect of going a few miles now and then to get some tradition into their souls. The pity of it is that the University is getting second consideration, Kansas City first. And so it will ever be until the game is kept where every college game belongs—on its home grounds.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Lest there be some misunderstanding in regard to the use of the tennis courts I should like to say that there has been, as yet, no ruling made concerning the tennis courts. We have only eight courts that are available for the students and there is such a demand that I have felt that probably we would have to make some restrictions in the near future; and I suggested to one of your reporters that we would probably require that those who use the courts be holders of student enterprise tickets.
This was not, as indicated by an article in your issue of Monday, in order to force students to buy student enterprise tickets, but rather to reserve the use of the courts to the people who are paying for the building and upkeep of the courts. The courts are not maintained by the University, but are maintained by the Athletic Association. Students who buy student enterprise tickets are members of the Athletic Association, and it is necessary to pay for the situation. I, therefore, felt that it was not right for members to be deprived of the use of the courts in order to let others who were not paying anything toward the upkeep of the courts, play.
I wish also to correct any impression that may be out that the Athletic Association is, from a financial standpoint, urging the sale of the student enterprise tickets. Financially the Athletic Association would be better off without the sale of the student enterprise ticket, for there is no student in school, who does not have a ticket, but that would, during the year, pay into the Association considerably more than the $4 we now get out of each ticket. The student enterprise ticket gives the student $14 worth of athletic admissions for which the Athletic Association gets but $4, and any one can plainly see that if they attended but half the athletic events we would get $7. I am sure that it costs students who do not get student tickets more for athletics than those who do. However, there is no disposition on the part of the management to do other than to promote all athletics and all athletic interests in every way possible and we usually have to plan according to the conditions as they exist.
Yours truly,
W. O. HAMILTON
BLOWING OUR OWN HORN
First of all, the Daily Kansan is run entirely by students. That means entirely, not all but one or two things. Of course we hire our printing done, but when it comes to rustling advertising, getting the news, directing the layout of the paper, writing the editorials, and paying the bills, the work is done entirely by students—students carrying full work on the hill, by the way, subject to eligibility rules.
The Daily Kansan is back of every University enterprise, and yet we doubt if any enterprise on the hill that affects so many students as the Kansan does is as greatly misunderstood.
The paper, then, is a student paper because it is run by students and because it is for the students at the University. To the very best of our ability we are performing a newspaper's function: to give the news of college life as it is with due regard to good newspaper policy included.
The paper has no connection with the department of journalism. We go to the department for advice, feeling that we are beginners in the game, but we are under no obligation to follow such advice.
