The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at the University; the students stand for the ideas the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more about the world; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1913. A MAN! O for a living man to lead! That will not babble when we bleed; O for the silent doer of the deed! One that is happy in his height; And one that, in a nation's night Hath solitary certitude of light! Stanphill Phillips Death to student government at the University seems the only result of the dispute between the Men's Student Council and the University Council over the wearing of freshman caps, in case the University Council prevails. The University Council's attitude on the question shows plainly that it does not think the student body capable of efficient self government and reasonable self control. It sees in a few wrestling matches and an unfortunate bay-rum bottle episode last spring a "growing tendency to disorder among the men of the student body...a revival of hazing...contrary to the ideals of the University," and has asked the men's council for a statement of its attitude on making freshmen wear caps this year, before deciding on the question of authority for dealing with matters of student discipline during 1913-14. "Faculty regulation" and "student self government" are both all right, and both can be overdone. It appears if the University Council were again about to overdo faculty regulation. The history of faculty regulation at the University shows that while apparently tending to give students more and more freedom, it has in reality run directly toward the limitation of undergraduate freedom of expression. First the class scrap was abolished and in place May Day was given as a holiday. Then the student body was given a Student Council with an opportunity to assume responsibilities of student government and discipline. Now the University Council would practically eliminate the Student Council by abolishing the freshman cap regulation approved by the Student Council. 9 The issue, then, is plain—faculty regulation versus student government. Much can be said, of course, against our student government. The men's council has accomplished no great wonders but certainly, considering its constantly shifting body, has earned a reasonable amount of respect from the student body. It has much to learn yet and will learn slowly. Varying from year to year as it does, its influence in the future will be built largely on tradition and slow achievement. Now for overdone faculty regulation. A better ex-ample could not be cited than last Friday's chapel. Go back, if you please, and recall any other opening address by Chancellor Strong where there wasn't a rousing "Rock Chalk" and a slight demonstration of life among the student body. But instead all was a quiet hush; even the reading in chapel of a notice of interest to students is now considered profane, presumably because the chapel is newly painted. Class scraps died at the hands of the faculty a few years ago partly on the ground that the strong class spirit they brought made school spirit impossible. Now we have no class spirit, as the action of the last two senior classes indicates, and no appreciable increase in school spirit. The fault lies at the hands of the faculty which, while doubtless as estimable body in the class room, has apparently forgotten the psychology of school spirit among students—that physical demonstration must come first. And after all, there is surely some method in the impulse of students to hold class scraps and make other classes feel their power. A class won't realize its strength as a class unless it has to struggle as a class. Our freshmen will never know they are a class unless as a class they are made to feel it. Such can be done, too, without undue 'tendency to disorder.' In reality it is not so much "rough house" or physical disorder that we have here now as it is disorder in both class and school spirit. Summed up, faculty regulation has as many sins of omission and commission to its credit as student government can possibly have. Moreover, student government first of all implies mistakes and experiments and faults, never perfection; but to be worthy of the name student government can tolerate no "half way" about letting students manage their own affairs. Then if it fails to keep down undue disorder and maintain self control, the system of student government can justly be declared a failure and should be abolished. We are yet to be convinced that such is the case. The membership campaign to be launched this week by the Y. M. C. A. deserves the support of all members of the student body. Leaving out the primary aim back of the campaign, the element of spiritual help, any student looking for the practical side will find himself amply repaid for joining the Y. M. any time he is away from home. In a strange city the Y. M. is the one sure place to get good treatment and University men are especially welcome at such places. TIME TO JOIN THE Y. M. C. A. Taking the spiritual side of the matter, students will find that the associations and surroundings at the University Y. M. are indeed worthy of cultivation. Join the Y. M. now and boost the new secretary's efforts. Unfamiliar Verses Mountainous clouds embattled high Around a dark blue lake of sky; And from its clear depths, shining far, The calm eye of the evening star. —Sir Lewis Morris. What if skies be wan and chill? What if winds be harsh and stale? Presently the east will thrill, And the sad and shrunken sail, Bellying with a kindly gale, Bear you sunwards, while your chance Sends you back the hopeful hail, "Fate's a fiddler, Life's a dance." Follow your bent, Cry life is joy, Cry life is woe, The god is content, Impartial is power, Tranquil—and lo! Like the kernels in quern, Each in his turn, Comes to his hour, Nor fast nor slow: It is well; even so. —William E. Henley. —Duncan Campbell Scott. CLEVER THINGS THE OTHER FELLOW SAYS.

Game opened with Molasses at the stick and Small-pox catching. Cigar was in the box with lots of smoke. Horn on first base and fiddle on second, backed by Corn in the field, made it hot for Umpire Apple, who was green. FOR THE DELPHIC SHAMELESS SAMUEL REPORTS A BALL GAME THE HERITAGE PUBLISHER ___. Ax came to bat and chopped, Cigar let Brick walk, Sawdust filled the bases, Cobb made a hit and Twenty made a score; Cigar went out and Balloon started to bitch but went up in the air. Grass covered lots of ground in the field and the crowd cheered when Spider caught a Fly. Bread loafed on third and pumped Organ, who played fast and put Light out. The Cherry tried it but was wild, Old Ice kept cool in the game until he was hit by pitcher, you ought to hear Ice Cream. Cabbage had a good head but got chopped and was put out of the game. There was lots of betting on the side and Soap cleaned on the Gang. In the fifth inning Wood began to blow about what he could do, Hammer began to knock and Trees began to leave. The way they roasted Peanut was a fright. Knife was out for cutting first base. Lightning finished pitching the game and struck out six men. In the ninth, Apple told Fiddle to take his base, Corn was shocked when Cobb made another hit. Trombone made a slide while Meat was on the plate. The score was one to nothing.

The sanitary engineers at the University, working in connection with the state board of health, are giving advice on services inspection and improvement of water supplies, and sewage disposal plants in various towns and cities. Through its work in Kansas insect problems, begun in 1872, the University has returned in economical terms and often estimated as high as the entire cost of the institution and its foundation.
