The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing on new paper, to build a world where students can be clean, to be cheerful, to be charitable, to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to older students, in all, to serve to the best of its ability. MONDAY. 8EPTEMBER 22,1913. Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; To remember for years To remember with tears! -WILLIAM ALLINGHAM. THIRD DEGREE TACTICS IN KANSAS A flagrant case of false arrest and persecution tending to throw disgrace on a University student of high standing is that of Homer Hoyt, last year Phi Beta Kappa man at the University, who was kept in jail for four days this summer by police and detectives in Kansas City, Kansas without the usual formalities of arrest or opportunity to prove his innocence. The Daily Kansan has personally investigated the case and returns a verdict of malicious persecution against all concerned in Hoyt's arrest. Not only has his record here been found to be of the highest character, but his mother, a college graduate, has been seen, and that grievous injustice with malicious intent has been done mother and son is our decision. Those of the University who know Hoyt have never given the "charges" against him a second thought; but that city officials of Kansas City can "get away" with tactics utterly illegal such as were used against Hoyt is a serious matter and reflects on the state of Kansas. It is a high recommendation for Kansas when a student who has carried off the highest honors at her state university can be treated as Hoyt has with impunity. The matter calls for investigation. A NEW KIND OF GREETING University students must "hand it" to Ex-governor E. W Hoch for giving them a new kind of greeting last Friday morning in chapel when he welcomed the student body in behalf of the new Board of Administration. Mr. Hoch may have been "glad to see so many bright and smiling faces," but if so he didn't bore his audience with it. Instead he struck the keynote of the new Board's policy in the two main topics of his address—a high ideal for all University students, and better equipment at the state schools. The former is a most worthy policy and needs no further comment; but the suggestion that the University have an auditorium capable of seating 6,000 people whereby the University might be made a Mars Hill for Kansas is better still; it is a very practical ideal. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL SENIORS, ETC Classes are fairly well under way, the football team is getting used to bruised shins and the janitor force at the University is looking forward to a busy winter, but the senior class is as yet sommelant toward the Jayhawker proposition. It is going to take "pep" and "dig" and "hustle" and then some to get out this year's book. A handicap of two badly damaged seasons hangs on behind, and the usual crop of applicants after the managerial position is as thin as the forage crop in some parts of Kansas. Seniors, get alive! Now is the time before it's too late. There is no reason why the book can't be put out; it is now largely a matter of taking hold of the thing and jumping in. This year's book should not furnish half the worry last year's did, because a man who knows something about Jayhawkers will be here on the ground all winter. This man is W. B. Brown, superintendent of the University printing plant, and formerly superintendent of the Union Bank Note company of Kansas City. Mr. Brown has personally supervised the publication of the last two Jayhawkers and his advice and help on this year's book should simplify the problem one-half. Now is the time for plan and action, Seniors. Get busy PUSH NEEDED Now that definite action toward the realization of a Student Union is being taken the real question about our Student Union appears—are we ready for it? And before going further, we hereby make the bromide remark that unless the students are ready for it, it is foreomed to failure. For fear someone may take that prediction for a desire to throw "cold water," we hasten to deny that such is the case; we are behind the Student Union, and believe it has a real mission. Just the same, this year's Union is bound to be an experiment, and at that it is a dangerous experiment. For instance, if the Union for some reason gets a "flat wheel," the future of a Student Union at the University is bound to be seriously impaired and the pioneer work will have to be done all over again sometime. In the end, the fate of the Union lies with you students. If you want it, if it will fill a hole in your present University life, now is the time to speak up and join the movement and get behind and push and keep on pushing!

COLLEGE HONOR (An extract from essays on College Life, by Le Baron Russell Briggs, which will be read by all freshmen of the University this year in Rhetoric.) In my community the students of a college make a treemonous power for good or evil; and by them in college, and by them after they have left college, their college shall be judged. If, as Cardinal Newman put it, the practical end of a university course is *training good members of society* (and I may add, training leaders, too) be of the importance of university interest, and scarcely anything can be of more importance in a community, than the attitude of undergraduates in questions of truth and falsehood. Those who constantly inspect this attitude find much to encourage them. The undergraduate standard of honor for college officers is so sensitively high that no one need despair of the students' ethical intelligence. No doubt, disingenuousness is sometimes believed of the wrong man; the upright professor with a reserved or forbidding manner may get a name for untrustworthiness, while the honor of his less responsible but more genial colleague is unquestioned: yet the blindness here is the blindness of youthful prejudice. The nature of disingenuousness is seen clearly enough; and the recognition of it in an instructor condoms him for all time. There is indeed but one way in which a man without extraordinary personal charm may gain and keep the confidence of students; by acupulous openness in all his dealings with them, great or small. A moment's forgetfulness, a moment's evasiveness—even a moment's appearance of evasiveness; may crack the ice on which every college officer is skating at best he can; and the necessity of keeping the secrets of less curious persons may break it through. In some ways all this is healthy. A young fellow who sees a high standard of truth for anybody the conduct may in time see it for his own. All he needs is to discover that the world was not made for him only; and a year or two out of college should teach him that. What he lacks is not principle, but experience and readjustment. This is the lack in the average undergraduate. It is only a highly exceptional student who speaks frankly to all (college officers included) of the lies he has told in tight places, and who seems never to question an implied premise in tight places all men lie. Another healthy sign is the high standard of honor in athletic training. This standard, indeed, may be cruelly high. The slightest breach of training condemns a student in the eyes of a whole college, and is almost impossible to live down. Still another healthy sign is the character of the men whom, in our best colleges, the undergraduates instinctively choose as class president, as athletic captains, and in general as leaders. Grown men, electing a President of the United States for four years, are not always so fortunate as Harvard Freshmen, who after eight or ten weeks of college experience choose one of their own number for an office, practically sure to hold throughout the four-ball college years. Class presidents are usually players; and, as a student once observed, they play players football, it doesn't take exception, our undergraduate leaders are straightforward, many fellows, who will join college officers in any honest partnership for the good of one student or of all, and who shrink from any kind of meanness. Want of a fine sense of honor appears chiefly in athletic contests, in the authorship of written work, in excuses for neglect of study, in the relation of students to the rights of persons who are not students, and in questions of duty to all who are, or who are to be, nearest and dearest. Here are the discouraging signs; but even these are a part of that lopsided immaturity which characterizes privilege as natural, as has been said, for boy, boy like colt, one at end a time. The prize is the boy, who determines in a message own growth, should be so late in developing the power to put himself into another's place; that the best education which the country can proffer is so slow in teaching to the chosen youth of the nation the Golden Rule, or even that part of the Golden Rule which results in common honesty; that the average college boy, frank and manly as he is, is honest in spots, and shows in his honesty little sense of proportion.
