UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
Lawrence.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be honest; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1913.
THE NEW BOARD
Once upon a time a man bought from a dog fancier a healthy specimen of bull dog. Going to claim the animal, the buyer was taken to the kennels and the dog pointed out to him. "There is he," said the fancier. "Go take him."
The bull dog looked up and showed neither welcome nor hostility when the man approached; and yet there was such in his gaze that the man hesitated a while before making further advances.
The relevancy of this lengthy example to any University situation appeals to us because yesterday the new Board of Administration saw the University start off for the first time under its direction. The Board is now making its first real approach to the shy and yet formidable body known as the University, and may well be pictured in the place of the man.
The Board is well disposed toward the school, as it is toward all the state schools. But by the very nature of things there is bound to be at first, a certain feeling of restraint between the University and the Board. The sooner that uncertain, questioning, important stage is past the better both sides will feel.
The Daily Kansan has no hesitation in extending to the new Board "a fine good morning"—glad to see you." Perhaps it feels more at ease toward the Board because all three members of the administrative body speak the newspaper language and can appreciate the Daily Kansan's "little brother" efforts in the field of journalism.
The University as a whole extends a hearty welcome to the new Board, especially since one of its members is an honored alumnus of the University, while the other two have made names for themselves in the service of the state.
And yet we are curious to know how the man and the dog got along.
JUMP IN
These are the days when many a freshman trembles inwardly and approaches the strange new things about the University with an odd feeling inside which he cannot always diagnose correctly. Sometimes it feels like too much supper, other times as if he were scared; but oftener it is homesickness, though he wouldn't admit it for an instant.
And perhaps he feels as a former member of the Kansan Board confessed to feeling when he went out after his first assignments. I just prayed to myself the professor wouldn't be there so I wouldn't have to meet him."
That was an amusing confession to all but the reporter himself, in view of the fact that he in time became the "star" reporter. But there is a lesson in his experience for a lot of freshmen: the water isn't cold at all after you jump in.
THE KANSAS "COME BACK" SPIRIT
Perhaps the recent hot-and-dry spell has something to do with it, but we cannot suppress the abominable observation that had Jim Jefries been from Kansas he might have been able to "come back."
For Kansas has surely displayed some "come back" spirit since the cool wave struck if the state can send enough new students to the University this fall to make Registrar Foster predict a normal increase; the registrar rarely makes a call.
While we are bragging, it may be added that most of the increase is due to freshmen who are coming undaunted by the prospect of having to work and compete with a larger-than-ever number of students seeking work to put them through. Kansas is more than "coming back;" she is already a mile or so ahead.
CURRENT ADVICE TO FRESHMEN
Bare to avoid classes under Blackmar, Dunlap, Haworth and Gray if you are looking for easy work. There is no better way to show your good breeding than to give up your place in enrollment line to the pretty girls behind you. On your way up the hill remark on the guilt of the Physics Clock, for it cannot strike back. If you like auto rides and want to save board bills hold off pledging that frat another week. Bathe at least once a day, for the scented water city may not last. If a laundry grater approaches you, do not flinch; tear his card to pieces and look him squarely in the eye and he will leave you alone. If the waiter at your boarding house puts his finger in your bowl of soup, do not complain; try Lee's. Don't try to conceal your identity; no freshmen ever has. Don't fail to visit the Museum. If the folks at home like
mineral water, send them a jug of Lawrence city water. Don't pay a dame for a shine. Find a nickel parlor and ride out to Haskell on the other nickle. If your cups don't fit at first, don't worry; they will after your first quiz. If you make a frit, immediately swell up and ignore your fellow men. There is nothing like being exclusive.
With all our registration and enrollment, "rushing" and parties, football and "cases," we are likely to feel our experiences are a little more unusual and interesting than those of people not blessed with four years of college recreation. Not so. The following genuine letter from a "small brother" of one of the Kansan Board lacks only the fabulous hand-writing of childhood to show us how important his own little sphere is to him:
"Hello, old soaks: How are you? What are you doing for a living? Nothing?"
"I am fine as a frog hair—pretty fine, isn't it? School never started last Monday but it will start this comming Monday, cause it has rained and cooled the atmosphere. I sure'll be glad when it does, for then I'll be back among my friends"
"Me and Dad are going to the circus the 11th to see the elephant eat peanuts with its tail, and too see them play ball.
"I met my best girl on the street last Saturday and she wouldnt even speak or look at me. I guess it was because I skipped a grade and got a head of her and she wanted me in her room. But I guess it was as serious as all that. Anyway, its lucky she isn't the only one around.
"Well I guess I will close, so I bid you a rainy morning.
'The IM.'
THE WATCHDOG MISSING
People usually admire a man who is strictly business and who never lowers his standard, whether he be a peddler or a millionaire. And oddly enough, they respect him even though he displease them.
The University and the state are losing such a man when on the fifteenth of this month E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent at the University for the last seven years, leaves.
"E. E. Brown." The Watchdog of the Treasury." There is hardly an instructor, dean or professor on the hill who has not at some time faced the owner of that name and found how appropriate it is. They all know how hard it was to get a requisition honored "down there" unless there was a mighty good reason for obtaining a university, Mr. Brown has a lasting reputation around here, and to say that he will be missed is a trite and forceful way of learning.
However, since this is by no means an obituary notice, it may perhaps be interesting to know that outside his office the secretary's grim face relaxes occasionally and Mr. Brown, the lover of sport, the enthusiastic gardener and the mirtrovaker, appears. It is said that all great humorists have long faces; and it might well be said that a good way to find a cheerful companion and a good comrade would be to have a good business man to talk with and wash the old clothes and in his hand, edge the cabbage along and inwardly confident his tomatoes would be ripe before those in his neighbor's garden.
From which it may seriously be added that in E. E. Brown the University is losing a good-natured and highly efficient horticulturist, an enthusiastic sport lover and a distributor of good cheer as well as a painstaking and competent director of the University's finances.
My heart leaps up when I beheld
A rainbow-colored tie;
But when upon my vision glares
One of these new cerise affairs,
My heart lies down to die.

TO THE DONESTIC SCIENCE MAID
Give me a spoon of oleo, ma,
And the sodium alkali.
And the sodium alkali,
For I'm going to make a cake, mamma—
I'm going to make a pie;
For John will be hungry and tired, ma,
And his tissues will decompose.
So please add of phosphate,
And the carbon and cellulose.
Now give me a chunk of casein, ma,
To shorten the thermic fat;
And hand me the oxygen bottle, ma,
And look at the thermostat;
And if the electric oven's cold,
Just turn it on an ohm,
For I want to have supper ready
As soon as you come home.
NEWSLET
A man concerned in educational matters in Tennessee had been converted to the agricultural point of view. He made no such mistake as to go to the people with messages of chemistry, botany or zoology, but on the contrary advocated eminently practical measures. At a meeting up in the hill country he made an address in which he labored long and ardouely to prove to the audience that every boy, and every girl, should know how to milk a cow, and to this end should attend an agricultural college. After wearing himself and the audience pretty well out he threw the meeting open for remarks and discussion. After a painful silence, a guild man with hay-whisked colliers, the principal of a theological seminary, arose. "Stranger," said he, "I agree with you that every boy, plus his shirt should I know how to make it correspond that every girl should include this art along with her other accomplishments. However, I want to make this suggestion; wouldn't it be a good thing for a college to teach its students something that the calf couldn't beat 'em at?" —SCIENCE.
Ikey (to father)—Fadder, vat is extravagance?
Father (to Ikey)—Extravagance, my son, is wearing a tie
