The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing them to be copies, and to create images that are not just for students; to be cheerful, to be charitable, to be courageous, to learn more serious principles; to be in all, to serve in the best of its aptitude with the faith of the Justice. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1913. TO SENIORS Two senior classes just graduated have put out annuals beyond their means, and the 1914 Jawahyer enters the field with an inheritance of failure and a lack of respect that reflect little credit on the school. Now that you're all back, why not take hold of this proposition and get a solution started? We start first. In some ways the Jayhawk question brings up some very embarrassing reflections. If the Annual is to be run as the last two have been run—“into the hole,” there is no escape from one of two conclusions: either the class lacks the brains and ability to manage successfully such an undertaking, or they can just putting out a Jayhawk up to the standard of the last two. The first conclusion is one that few seniors will willingly admit. There is always someone in the class capable of managing the book successfully under reasonable circumstances. But - witness the fight made by last year's management. Hobson is still selling his books, and he is generally admitted to be shrewd and energetic a manager as any class has ever had. Evidently, then, the fault lies in the present plan, which is absurd from start to finish. To expect one or two men without experience to shoulder a $5,000 proposition and do school work at the same time is nonsense. Add to this the distractions incidental to the hundred and one organizations on the hill and the undeniable lack of senior "stick-toe" in the last two years, and the 1914 Jayhawker is "left at the pole." Let's try a new plan—cut down the book and live within the class's means and the school's spirit. TO THE DEVIL Dear Devil, I would pray to the from out an earnest heart, The lone thing in the universe who dare be what that art. Look up from out the torment of the burning lakes of pain And pity in the stealthfastness us men who fawn and feign; For in our cowardice we dare seem neither good nor ill And, lagging in the vale, pretend to climb toward the hill. Half men that hug within our breasts each nasty little sin, Like rotten fruit, still fair without, but nameless foil within. WILLARD A. WATTLES. LONG LIVE THE Y. M. C. A. The University Y. M. C. A. and its new secretary, Conrad Hoffman, certainly deserve a word of appreciation from all older students for the continuance this year, of the Y. M's splendid efforts to aid students, new and old. Upperclassmen are likely to forget, in the rush of their own interests, that the matter of a freshman's sticking at the University is detailed by details insignificant to seniors or seniors, but which to a new man are discouraging to say the least. A nod of welcome at the train, friendly assistance unassked for, or even the slightest interest in a freshman's well being, are things long remmebested by entering students. Freshmen are oddly timid creatures this first week, and the impressions they take in now are going to last. The Y. M. C. A. is leading the way in making the new men feel entirely at home. PUNISHMENT TO FIT THE CRIME Now that the Board of Administration thinks enough of the spiritual welfare of University students to vacate the 11 o'clock hour twice a week for long chapel, how about making the faculty attend? It has long been open scandal on the hill the way the faculty doesn't attend chapel. Talk about students cutting chapel for "cases!" One would think most of the faculty were out under the trees or strolling past the Museum, if empty seats by the organ counted. It is high time steps were taken to make the faculty attend chapel. But how can it be done, is the question? Well, that's easy. Give instructors a half hour of chapel twice a week or—student conferences during chapel time. Let them get 100 per cent efficiency out of those luxurious seats up on the rounded platform, or— Let professors not attending chapel overhear during enrollment former students advising friends to "steer clear of him—he's (easy, hard)." clear of ill-terms (only in case they are not all biased in their own favor, let the judgment angel of university professors mark out one word in the parenthesis. Something else besides first classes and new experiences and cold shudders will yet happen to our freshmen this week. FAMILIAR SOUNDS this week. From the wildest distances of Massachusetts street to the banks of the Kaw a slapping, swishing sound will rise early tomorrow morning. AN INVITATION It's safety razor time. We're not, too. We offer any student wishing to see his work in the print the chance to submit from time to time any editorials, original verse or paragraphs he sees fit to hand in and we'll be glad to have it. We're not a bit selfish. be glad to have" having the right to exclude, "etc. And we won't sign anybody's name, because we wish to get an even break on having good material credited to us as well as on having other material laid up against us. "The survival of the fittest" comes glibly enough to most of us so long as it concerns the other fellow. But half the junior force of the University is about to be on the other side of that, phrase if the plan of the Board of Administration turn part of the University junior work over to needy students goes into effect. THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST "Forty students, working in two-hour relays, at $10 per month each, will replace ten regular janitors," says the new plan for student "graft." Since work is scarce in Lawrence this year, it is possible the new plan will enable forty young men to stay here another year who might not otherwise be able to. pricely maimable are any junior-students of D-rwin on the hill just at present, we venture to say they are finding little consolation in the phrase commonly connected with the name of the great scientist. an the jantiers' side of the future follows. Winter is coming on. Many of the jantiers have families to support. Work at this time of year is scarce. And jantors do not draw princely salaries. Backward; turn backward, oh time in your flight; give us a girl whose skirts are not tight; give us a girl whose charms, many or few, are not exposed by too much peek-aboo; give us a girl no matter what age, who won't use the street as a vaudeville stage; give us a girl not too sharply in view; dress her in skirts that the sun can't shine through. SONG WALNUT EAGLE. The merry, merry lark was up and singing. The hare was out and feeding on the lea; The merry, merry bells below were ringing. As my child's laugh rang through me. Now the hare is dead and snared beside the snowyard. showy day! And the lark beside the dreary winter sea; And my baby in his cradle in the church yard, Waitteh there until the bells call me. FRESHMAN CAP HUMOR Now that the time for freshman caps is drawing near it is also time for someone to start some excruciatingly deadly jokes about the poor freshmen and his shallow head piece. Which reminds us of a story: -KINGSLEY. Once upon a time a bright young college man undertook to run the advertising end of a small weekly paper, and armed with his peg-top trousers and yachty-looking cap he tackled the job. Unfortunately the first prospect he struck was an old merchant who had never advertised. And he didn't after the bright young man saw him, either, but rarely sized the peg-tops and the yachting cap up against the background of a western Kansas prairie and remarked, almost sadly: "Young man, I quit advertising before you were born." before you "learn" to this story follows: If you must have your jokes about freshman caps, remember that they are college jokes and do not inflict them on anyone but your fellow students.
