The Daily Kanman aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than more widely prized schools; to provide a comprehensive curriculum; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn more about the University; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1913.
Be you still, be you still, trembling heart;
Remember the wisdom out of the old days:
Him who trembles before the flame and the flood,
And the winds that blow through the starry ways,
Let the starry winds and the flame and the flood
Cover and hide, for he has no part
With the proud, majestical multitude.
William B. Yeats.
POOR BARGAIN HUNTERS
Students, faculty, and janitors at the University have so far proved themselves poor bargain hunters judging from the number of athletic tickets so far sold, not to mention proving themselves not back of all University enterprises, especially athletics.
POLITICAL BURLESQUE WITH US AGAIN
April weather is not more fickle than the god of politics at this University.
The regulation athletic tickets now on sale for $5 give admission to every student activity on the hill during the school year at the "ridiculous cost and unbelievably low price, ladies and gentlemen," of 12 cents per attraction.
Strange things greet the senior this year as he watches the various political factions line up for class election October 10. Hated rivals that in the past fought to the death are now eating out of the same bowl, and planning as usual to get the unorganized "barb" vote.
The "barbs" deserve to be led to the slaughter oftener than they are. What the "barbs" need is an oculist.
LOSS AND GAIN
From day to day, from year to year,
New waves of change assail us here;
Each day, each year, prolongs the chain
Where pleasure alternates with pain.
Old tastes are lost, old thoughts grow strange
Old belongings gradually change,
Old faiths seem no more dear or true,
Lost in the full light of the new.
—Sir Lewis Morris.
ONLY FIVE SUBSTITUTES
The Kansas School of Mines and Metallurgy opened the second annual term Monday morning with an enrollment of sixteen students, most of whom are enrolled as regular students and are taking the full course and a number of others have signified their intentions of enrolling and they will no doubt enter in the near future.
While this is not a large enrollment it is considered satisfactory for a school of this nature and all the difficulties it has had to overcome.
The students are all much in earnest and a good showing is expected.
Football practice will start today, and the school will be represented by a strong eleven—Weir City Journal.
THE WEEK AT OTHER COLLEGES
At least 80 men are expected out for cross country at Purdue following the first call last week.
Drake reports two good men out of the football lineup last week on account of ineligibility.
At Purdue the juniors do the cap wearing. Last spring the sophomore class as a unit sent in orders for a special make of hat, size and all. Last week the hats arrived and will be first officially worn October 15 when the first football game occurs.
Minnesota offered its first season athletic tickets for sale at $5 last week and good sales are reported.
Next week the freshman-sophomore scrap at Minnesota comes off. It consists of a speaking contest between members of each class, a tug of war, and wrestling events held on the athletic field.
Washburn has a "beanery" this year which serves pretty nearly everything in cafeteria style from 11 to 5 each day.
Volume one, number one of the Westminster Fortnightly arrived from Fulton, Mo., this week. C. P. Lemire, former football star at Missouri, is coaching there this year.
The girl's Pan-Hellenic association of sororities at Iowa was disrupted last week when one member of the
At the University of California plans for a Student Union are under way. Last week the juniors pledged $100 toward the fund. The building will not be erected until the entire fund is collected, which may be several years yet.
Colorado College has already established a training table for its football team. A record enrollment is expected.
group pledged a coveted pledge before the regular time. The rest of the Pan-Hellenic withdrew intending to organize with the offending member left out.
Rugby football is now in full swing at California and Leland Stanford.
Fifty men reported for fall track work at Missouri last week.
Satisfaction was the word from the Iowa football camp after 50 football candidates were out the first day for practice. A veteran backfield reported.
Barton, star left tackle at Missouri for the last two years, is unable to return this fall because he is tied up with a hat company for which he is salesman.

BEGINNING COLLEGE LIFE
Madison Cawem.
To many boys the beginning of college life is the first step into the world. Its dangers are much like those of other first steps into the world, yet with this difference; the college boy has the advantage of living where ideals are noble, and the disadvantage (if he is weak or immature) of living where he need not get heartily tired day after day in keeping long, inevitable hours of work. This disadvantage is indeed a privilege, but a privilege which like all privileges is bad unless accorded to a responsible being. To discipline one's self, to hold one's self responsible, is ever so much better than to be disciplined, to be held responsible by somebody else; it but is a task for a man. Naturally enough, then, the mistakes and the sins of college life are commonly rooted in boyish irresponsibility.
The average youth takes kindly to the notion that in the first year or two at college he need not be bound by the ordinary restraints of law-abiding men and women. "Boys will be boys," even to the extent of sowing wild oats. Time enough to settle down by and by; meanwhile the world is ours. A year or so of lawlessness will be great fun, and will give us large experience; and even if we shook some good luck, it won't be as great as when who feels thus takes prompt offence if treated, as he says, "like a kid;" yet he may do things so low that any honest child would desseme them. Nor is this true of one sex only.
I have heard a married woman recount with satisfaction her two nights' work in stealing a sign when she was at college; and her father, a college man, listened with sympathetic joy. I have known a youth who held a large scholarship in money to steal, or—as he preferred to say "pinch" an instrument worth several dollars from the laboratory where he was trusted as he would have trusted in a gentleman's parlor. I have even heard of students who bought signs, and hung them up in their rooms to get the reputation of stealing them. Surely there is nothing in college life to make crime a joke. A street "mucker" sneaks into a student's room and steals half a dozen doorkens (for which the student has not paid), and nothing is too hard for him; a student steals a poor laundryman's sign for fun: may a gentleman do without censure what sends a "mucker" to jail? If the gentleman is locked up in the evening to be taken before the judge in the morning, his friends are eager to get him out. Yet in one night of acetic mediation he may learn more than in his whole previous life of his relation to the rights of his fellow men.
One of the first lessons in college life is an axiom: Crime is crime, and a thief is a thief, even at an institution of learning. The college thief has, it is true, a different motive from his less favored brother; but is the motive better? Is there not at the root of it a misunderstanding of one man's relation to another, so selfish that, in those who ought to be the flower of American youth, it would be hardly conceivable if we did not see it with our own eyes? People sometimes wonder at the desire of towns to tax colleges, instead of helping them. A small number of students who steal signs, and refuse to pay bills unless the tradesman's manner pleases them, may well account for it all.
As there is nothing in college life to justify a thief, so there is nothing in it to justify alar. College boys in their relation to one another are quite as truthful as other people; but some of them regard their dealings with college authorities as some men regard horse-trades. We know them capable of distinguishing truth from falsehood, since their standard of integrity for their teachers is sensitive high. Their standard for themselves is part of that conceit, of that blind incapacity for the Golden Rule, which is often characteristic of early manhood. To this blindness most books about school and college life contribute. Even the healthier of these books stir the reader's sympathy in behalf of the gentlyman, happy-go-lucky youth who pulls wool over the eyes of his teachers, and deepen the impression that college boys live in a fairyland of charming foolery, and are no more morally responsible than the gods of Olympus.
Plainly such a theory of college life, even if no one holds to it long, nurses a selfishness and an insincerity which may outlast the theory that has nourished them. The man who has his writings written for him, or who cries at examinations, or who excuses himself from college lectures because of "sickness" in order to rest after or before a dance, may be clever and funny to read about; but his cleverness and "funniness" are not many degrees removed from those of the forger and the impostor, who may also be amusing in fiction.—Le Baron Russel Briggs in "College Life."
