The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go joyful with a university; to play no favors; to hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more friends; to be in all, to be in the best of its ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1913.
In one word, it must always be foul to tell what is false; and it can never be safe to suppress what is true. B. L. Stevenson
—R. L. Stevenson.
WANTED—REASONS
Now that the question of the Kansas City game is again stirred up, the Daily Kansan is willing to admit that the vote taken shows the students here as a whole in favor of taking the game back to Kansas City, if someone will kindly step forward with one good reason why the game should be in Kansas City rather than on college grounds.
Though the news editor print the vote 1000 to 1 for the game it will take more than the force of mere numbers of votes to convince us that the vote is not the thoughtless and selfish action of students who are not looking farther than a month or two ahead.
Have not the students here by this vote forever branded themselves as monumentally selfish and inconsiderate of both their sister university, Missouri, and their own Aima Mater? Altruism and fair play cannot be a part of our professions if we demand that Missouri students must always come nearly 200 miles to Kansas City, while we have but 40 miles to go.
By voting to continue a custom that has kept hundreds of alumni from revisiting Mt. Oread, the students are weakening the bonds between the University and the "Old Grads" Interest in the game in Kansas City is first, interest in the University that made it possible is second, so long as the game is in Kansas City.
The moral side of the game in Kansas City cannot be ignored, and every student who votes in favor of the Kansas City game is virtually favoring, though perhaps thoughtlessly, many things that should not be. As we intimated yesterday, the "good times" that have always accompanied the Kansas City game have not always been of the right sort, as every student will admit; and we are likely in our enthusiasm to get the game back, to forget that a "yes" vote helps make such conduct possible again. (In our editorial yesterday we did not mean that every alumnus favoring Kansas City and every student who voted "yes" necessarily desired such a good time himself, but that he was, through perhaps thoughtlessly, making possible that undesirable good time for others; incidentally, we ironically questioned the game "be-loaded" in a city as vicious as Kansas City.)
The game should not go back to Kansas City and personally we shall continue to oppose the change. On no ground do we see a good reason why it should, and we are ready to hear better reasons "why" than the mere assertion that it "belongs" there.
ALL ABOARD FOR GYMNASIUM DANCES
If the new gymnasium dances after the suggestion of the Men's Student Council prove as successful as it appears they should, a "well done" mark must be checked up to the Council's credit.
No one longer doubts that dancing in the University needs restricting and that gymnasium parties to which all University students are welcome will help matters. If we must dance, let everybody dance, faculty included, and hold the dances in the gymnasium.
A REAL LEADER
Everyone who saw "Big Bill" Weidlein playing Saturday knows the Kansas football team has a real leader again this season.
Down the field often ahead of his ends, mixed in every play, setting an example of fight from start to finish, the big engineer certainly proved his right to lead. Here's an all-victorious team to you, "Bill."
AT BAY
Now that the freshmen have asked to wear caps, it looks more and more like an absurd stand-off between the University Council and the apparently increasingly ineffective Men's Student Council.
As a student we don't want the University Council to run over what is left of our student government, and yet we don't want the freshmen to fight the Student Council's battles.
SENTENCE PASSED
The National Association of former editors-in-chiefs of the University Daily Kansan, in session at Fort Worth, Texas, strongly disapproves of everything about the Daily this year, from the mechanical make-up to the editorial policy. Realizing that improvement on their product is impossible, and acting upon their combined request, we hereby apologize to our readers for getting out a paper at all. The members of the association who are attending the daily criticism sessions are W. W. Ferguson, Richard Gardner, and Omar Hite. All three are working on the Fort Worth Record.
Horrors upon horrors! K. U. is mourning the probable loss of the famous fullback and kicker Prather, who, on account of the dry weather, is likely to have to haul water for 200 head of cattle this fall, instead of returning to college—Kiowa Journal.
HORRORS!
If our neighbor does not want to be in bad with the two big schools of Kansas, it had best get posted on the heroes of the gridiron. Prathers is the idol of K. S. A. C.—Anthony Bulletin.
R. L. Stevenson, Editor
Let any man speak long enough, he will get believers
There was never an ill thing made better by meddling
Condescension is an excellent thing, but it is strange how one-sided the pleasure of it is!
Vanity dies hard; in some obstinate cases it outlives the man.
A man may live in dreams, and yet be unprepared for their realization.
That is never a bad wind that blows where we want to go.
The man who cannot forgive any mortal thing is a green hand in life.
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
It is a poor heart, and a poorer age, that cannot accept the conditions of life with some hero readiness.
An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.
Place them in a hospital, put them in jail in yellow overalls, do what you will, young Jessamy finds young Jenny.
It is a great thing if you can persuade people that they are somehow or other partakers in a mystery. It makes them feel bigger.
You cannot run away from a weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one.
But by the purple milk we get
I'm sure that there must be one.
—New York Times.
Only fools are certain, Tommy; wise men hesitate.
Are you sure, uncle?
Yes, my boy; certain of it.
—Tatler.
Freshman—I hired a dress suit and tore it. Should pay for the damage?
Sophomore—No! You took it to rent, didn't you? —Yale Record.
Superior Senior—Don't you think it strange that sugar is the only word in the English language where an 's' and a 'u' come together and are pronounced 'sh?' Meek One—Sure. —Ex.
"How often does your road kill a man?" asked a facetious traveling salesman of a Central Branch conductor the other day.
"Just once," returned the conductor courteously. —Kansas City Journal.
New Roommate=Yes; I lost my parents when I was very young.
How-How many careless of you!
Unfamiliar Verses
OCTOBER SUNRISE
The Other—How very careless of you!
IN A GARDEN
—Adella M. Pepper.
—Exchange.
Gaunt, leafless trees, with barren, blackened bough in silhouette against a cold blue sky,
Dim with the vaporous haze of promised dawn;
A bleak horizon softened by a veil
Of shifting smoke; oppressing, braathless, silence Until a dull red shadow,—soft suffused,
Outshines the star, pale shrinking in the east,
And morning breaks upon a shell-like cloud
Aglow with roseate amber, like a pearl.
Thought is a garden wild and old
For airy creatures to explore,
Where grow the great fantastic flowers
With truth for honey at the core.
There like a wild marauding bee
Made desperate by hungry fears,
From gorgeous If to dark Perhaps
I blunder down the dusk of years.
From Burkepee down the dusk of years.
—Pitas Carman.
