MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1913.
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.—Shakespeare.
NEITHER CAN BE SPARED Many a student feels his hopes for an ever-victorious team next year slipping away. After the team had given the Cornhuskers a scare and closed the season with a victory over the Tiger, the student body of the University had every reason to feel confidence for the coming year. When had Kansas such a team of coaches?
And then—then came the announcement that on account of slight differences between the head coach and his assistant, Frank would probably not be here next year. The student body was at once aroused and showed its sentiment in the matter by circulating petitions asking the Regents that Frank be retained. Fundreds of signatures were easily obtained.
The students of the University have a reasonable right, so believes the Daily Kansan, to object strenuously when they see that our athletic prospects for the coming year are seriously threatened—merely on account of minor difficulties. The student body demands team work of the men representing it on the football field. Why can it not demand the highest type of team work on the coaching staff?
The University cannot afford to lose either Mosse or Frank. By experience we know them both to be valuable men. The only satisfactory solution of the difficulty lies in the willingness of each of the coaches to lay aside any small personal differences and show the same kind of team work that they teach their men. In a case like this aren't the interests of the student body and the University paramount?
"Quality of instruction will fall if adequate appropriations fail," declare the Regents. We bue thee O Legislature, feel with us.
Ponce says "Lay it on the quotation marks." And he meant it.
THIS WET STUFF
Yes, it does have an odd flavor, or rather an odd lack of flavor. You have noticed it yourself when taking a drink from one of the irrigating stations now doing service for the thirsty multitude. The flavor, too, is oddly familiar. You sit again meditatively, and your mind wanders in search of the suggestion.
At last you locate what you seek and your mind reverts to the happy days of childhood when you fell into
the rain barrel under the eaves and had to be siphoned out with a section of the garden hose.
This, you say, is soft water. The authorities agree with you in chorus. It is soft water, garnered from the University's own cisterns, and guaranteed absolutely to be free from ravenous microbes seeking whom they may devour.
Why "soft" water should be called soft, and "hard" water hard has always proved an insoluble problem for our limited reasoning power. It is equally easy to fall into either brand, and the amount of wetness absorbed in either case seems to be the same.
In the present case there is of course that difference of flavor already referred to. After one has become accustomed to the fluid transported through the Lawrence water mains there is a consuming thirst when another brand is substituted.
While it is true that by-gone generations of K. U. students have grown red-blooded and virile through drinking the iron, magnesium, alum, arsenic, and microbes with which they were supplied, yet we of today have no fear that, nourished only with this denatured liqui! which the University supplies, we shall become week and degenerate.
Hurrah for soft water!
Space in the Jayhawker costs more this year. Just another case where that 13 gets in its nefarious work.
"We ask our readers to bear with them," said the ordinary Editor in referring to "Journalism Week on the 'Kansan.'" Kind of him, wasn't it?
The Daily Kansan has received a communication concerning the difference between members of the coaching staff which we would be glad to print except for the fact that no name was signed to the article. If "X. Y, Z." will kindly give his name, not for publication but as an evidence of good faith, the communication will be printed.
YALE OBJECTS.
Shame! At great expense Yale University has sent to the leading newspaper offices of the country its Directory of Living Graduates. This it has done for its own protection and in the interests of the reputation of higher education itself. E. R. Embree, alumni registrar, says that in nine cases out of ten in which crimes or misdemeanors are credited in the press with being committed by Yale graduates, the statements are without foundation. This is a serious reflection on the careless way in which newspapers are edited today. It may add spice to credit a crime to a graduate of any one of our leading colleges, but with the exercise of even a little care such a mistake would never be made—Leslie's.
Jaysquawks By Ponce
"Palladians Prepare Program," reads a Nebraskan headline. But the person who prepared this perfectly pronouncable pill has no front teeth.
Was talking to Jay Hawk today, and he expressed the opinion that Reid can draw better than he can talk. He certainly drew a full shapel.
We fail to see how hockey practice will help the "gellis" for quiz week unless they intend to use the clubs on the professors.
It probably won't make much difference. We have noticed that people will go to any length to get their mugs in print.
And now we "Do Not Know How To Talk." Nevertheless we are able to make our wants known at dinner time.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.

Editor Daily Kansan;
HORRORS!
Kind sir, after glancing over your issue of Thursday, Jan. 9, I rise to remark. What I wish to remark is this precisely: why is it that such articles as the one pertaining to a few fossils in the museum are allowed to appear in your paper?
The story is further inaccurate in that it leads to the impression that the triseratops and its little one were devoured by a dinosaur. The largest of the dinosauria, my friend, lived in marshy places and fed on grass and vegetation, being of a very unferocious nature.
And if I remember right the specimen of Triceratops is not complete, indeed I think that there is nothing there but the head while the story would lead one to believe that the complete skeleton was mounted. A thirty-five foot mounted specimen! Forsooth, you do the intelligence of your readers an injustice.
Considering these minor points to fallacy and the utter impossibility of such an event ever having occurred, I think it no more than right that you apologize for an insult to the understanding of your readers, unless indeed, you published the article for a joke merely.
A Well Wisher.
