He is great who knows the worth of patience—From the Chinese.
VISITORS, OUR HAND
Alumnus, alumna, parent, brother, sister or other relative of faculty member or student, citizen of Kansas, the United States or the world, if you are in Lawrence today to see the wiry Tiger combat with the stubborn Jayhawk, here's to you. We are glad to see you.
Alumni, especially, will please look about them and see whether or not the Jayhawk is out of his swaddling clothes. And If this is your first visit to old K. U. since graduation, stir around and get acquainted. We want to know you.
This is our day to serve you. We are going to do our best, and you can help us by asking us what you want to know. Every K. U. man or woman will be glad to help you.
It is suggested that after the nocturnal rally that was held Wednesday evening, the Thundering Thousand and should change its name to the "Midnight Sons."
Get up to that rally in the gymnastium.
VANDALISM
Vandalism can take many forms, and the fact that any form of it should be found in a student football rally is deplorable. It is alleged that Wednesday night, students torre down some of the large "Welcome Missouri" banners that had been flung across the streets. If so, it was an act entirely out of keeping with the general attitude of students. We can hardly believe that Kansas has any students who could be so cheap. The hammers are typical of the University of Kansas, and it is impossible that they were torn down with the assent of the students, or even a representative group of students. But whoever did it, whether attending the University or not, should be sought or punished as he deserves.
"Not a bluff old bear," reads a headline. Neither is the Cornhusker; he is buff.
PEP
Pep is the difference between victory and defeat, between momentum and inertia. Lacking pep, the strongest fail and the mightiest succeed. With it, the weak become victors and the few overcome the many.
It was pop that enabled a young man, no older than a freshman, to overcome and slay an opponent many times stronger than himself; and the name of David has come down to us from that distant time.
What was it that drove back the countless hordes of assailants from a certain mountain pass in Greece, where a little band of warriors made its stand against overwhelming odds? It was the pep of a certain Greed named Leonidas, a certain
not only had it but was able to infect his followers with the same brand.
Look through all the pages of history and view the winning struggles of the weak against the strong and then determine the reason for it. Why did a few scattered colonies on the eastern coast of North America humble all the forces that England could hurl against them and finally win their liberty from the greatest nation on earth? Why was it that a handful of Boers fighting amongst the kopies of the South African Transvall, twister the tail of the same British lion and made him wail in his pleadings for peace? There is but one answer They had the pep.
It is the pep that does things in this world. The lack of it leads inevitably to failure. Its possession insures success in the end.
Just at the present time we have pep in quantities hitherto unequaled. And it is well that it is so.
For tomorrow we meet on the battle-field a foe that, according to comparative performances, should drag our colors in the dust.
It might be possible, but for one thing. We have the pop.
WELCOME, MISSOURI
To the wearers of Old Gold and Black, Kansas extends a welcome. Today you are the guest of the Sunflower State, and her doors are open to you; only her gridiron goals remain closed.
Kansas is proud to entertain her sister university, and hopes that the opportunity will recur every two years for many years to come. And when the big game is ended, all honor be to the victor, for athletics between the Universities of Missouri and Kansas, have been, and are, clean.
A University professor has forty trained rice weevils. There are a number of habitues of boarding houses who have had practice enough to beat the weevils at their own game.
BETTING-A COLLEGE EVIL.
BETTING—A COLLEGE EVIL
Betting on athletics threatens to become a college evil. On every foot ball game hundreds of dollars are wagered. Students who feel it disallowed to bet against the home team bet on the total score. As the whet market is a source of gambling for the broker, so is athletics for the college student.
Betting on college sports is directly opposed to the spirit in which they are conducted. It is bad for those who bet and for the players. For those who bet it teaches the habit of getting money by gambling instead of service—a habit which exposes them to all sorts of temptations after they are out in life. To the player it introduces an element of professionalism in a dangerous form. The players come to play for the money which their friends have on the result. They no longer contend for honor alone. The fact that their friend's property is involved leads them to violate the spirit of the game.
All this spoils athletics at a training ground for morals. It deprives athletics of one of its very purposes. Men grow up in the midst of such uncivilization but retain not only gambling but the corrupt manipulation of the market.
For the sake of athletics, if for no other, college men should quit betting on them. Betting violates the moral basis of athletics, and when that is gone the fundamental purpose of sports is commercialism and professionalism have no place in college athletics.—University Missouri.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
We cannot live on our past repatriation, any more than our frames can be sustained on the food of which we have partaken days ago. We must have been aware that all things move—earth and sun, stars and constellations—we cannot stop or remain stationary, except at the risk of being thrown out of it and returning to it. In this new country we have to look to our children more than to our fathers, and "instead of the fathers shall be" —McCosh.
UP AND DOING
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
this special favor...
Contributions welcome. —The Editor:
Some hearts go hungering through
thighs.
And never find the love they seek:
Some lips with pride or scorn are
curled.
To hide the pain they may not
speak.
The eye may flash, the mouth may
smile,
The voice in gladdest music thrill.
An eyes yet beneath them, the while,
The eyes that must be pining still.
O eager eyes which gaze afair!
O arms which clasp the empty air.
Not all numkmed your sorrows are,
Not all unpituted your despair.
Smile, patient lips so proud dumb;
When life's frail tent at last is
furled.
Your greatest recompense shall come,
O hearts that hunger through the world!
SPEAKING OF K. U.
O RATS!
In order to determine the nutritious value of smoked meat, twenty-four white rats are eating smoked ham and bacon at the state university just now. Better feed ham and bacon to the football team—Wichita Eagle.
BUT IT MAKES HORSERACING This paper said once that we would have more faith in what the wise men say if we could get two wise men to agree. A speaker at the State Teachers association last week advocated a two hour school day and said we would come to it. Now a K. U. professor says we should have a six day school week, twelve months in the year.-Atchison Globe.
NOWS THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE
The Kansas University school of medicine is contemplating the publication of a periodical journal. Fine. Now let the medical school fill the paper with advice on how to care for the body, what to eat, and what not to eat, how to sleep and when, and then add a few columns of diagnosis in its reduced forms, augmented with a few home remedies made from hens teeth and used up rubber boots and things. Then we will all subscribe to the magazine and boost the school of medicine—Ottawa Herald.
The teams are balanced perfectly in weight. That puts it up to the spirit and pop to decide the victor.
THE VISITOR SPEAKS
Anon.
No grace or refinement as we have in England:—
England, where Rugby's a gentleman's came.
'ooting them on with vociferons cheers?
Tell me old Top, what is all the attraction:
'ammering faces and biting off ears;
Gouging out eyes with a rotary action;
'ooting them on with vociferous shivers?
*horrors!* The full-back is downing the runner.
*ere* where the players with dexter- ous swing, loud.
Accompany me 'ence from this 'or-
Punches adgotly on kidney and brain.
15 it not strange that they all are not dead?
Tear out their antagonist's hair by the roots?
flave 'they no decency, modesty,
'oner?'—
Digits entwined in the 'oles of his nose
Cornell Widow.
Look! they are ripping off each other's clothes.
'ow can these maidens applaud when their lovers
Suffer their daughters to look at the brutes.
I can't see 'ow these American mothers
See 'ow the mob in the grand-stand's acquiver
'owling like "odolms when their team's ahead,
Or when some rival has ruptured his liver—
Is it not strange that they all are not dead?
rible mess,
Gruesome, uncivilized, bloody or-
deal.
Give me my Cricket, Golf, Rugby,
or Chess—
Such to our English refinement
