RED AND BLUE
To show loyalty Friday, and to give chapel a brighter appearance, why can't every student, man or woman, wear the University colors in some form or other?
This is the one thing in which Kansas is backward. The wearing of the Red and the Blue does not seem to have the meaning that it should have. Not that the students depreciate the K. U. colors, but they seem to think that a paper pennant pasted en a suit case, is all the attention the colors deserve.
Let's try and get into the game
Friday and dazzle the eyes of the
old grads who will be here, some
from afar off. Let's each one carry a
pennant, or at the very least wear
an arm band, or ribbon streamers.
And notice the result when the mass
of color flashes down the street in
the parade that is sure to be given.
And a word of caution. Should a Missouriian, or a Missouri sympathizer try to wrest your colors from you, deal with him as gently as possible. This is most likely his first visit here and it wouldn't do to have him go back home thinking that the Kansas men are rough.
Everyone has heard of a riot of colors. Does this expression signify that the colors were loud?
University Democrats have organized a permanent club. And the official insignia of the club is not a big stick.
Saturday promises to be a cold day for somebody. Everyone knows that the Tiger is essentially a tropical animal.
FOR BETTER ACQUAINTANCE
That there should be more of a feeling of fellowship between students and faculty members is a statement that goes unchallenged, but plans on how to bring about such a feeling are noticeably lacking.
It seems as if the faculty is afraid to start anything, perhaps fearing the undergraduate turndown, while the student hesitates to take the first steps, dreading lest he be classed as fresh, and a genuine bore to persons who have really weighty matters to occupy their attention.
However it may be, it is true that there is but little personal interest between the two. And in view of the fact that no plans have been suggested to change this state of acquaintance, the Daily Kansan wishes to propose a scheme by which the two may come in time to regard one another as beings actually capable of becoming intelligent. companions. The scheme is not an original one, and despite difficulties attached, it ought to work out here.
The idea is a student-faculty smoker at which informal discussions of university affairs could be
held, and at which plans for the bettermest of Kansas in particular could be brought out. Of course, some do not smoke, and then there is the objection that there is no building adequate to the purpose. Why not Fraser Hall?
It would be a radical step to make smoking in a University building legal, but the meetings would not be oftener than once a month, and the benefit to be derived from them would more than offset any objections that might be raised.
Think the matter over and if you favor the meetings, but not the place, send your opinion into the Daily Kansan. Let's all act together and see what can be done.
Kansas also seems to have a very fair soccer team. We hope that next year the game will prove more popular.
The Kent club has convicted a joint keeper. Now whose official taste positively identified the beer that said joint keeper is alleged to have sold?
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Under the above caption, the Des Moines and Leader in its issue of Friday, Jan. 15, printed the following editorial:
A class in advertising is one of the resources of the State University of Japan.
The members of this class have had the enterprise to investigate the effect of advertising in relation to all of the activities of social life.
Among other inquiries instituted was one as to whether it paid to advertise church services, and a large number of prominent ministers in many towns and cities were put on record with respect to the matter.
The consensus of judgment was that advertising pays the church as well as a business establishment, and so far as the interviews developed the subject no objections of a valid character were lodged against him. This powerful agency by the churches in their war against evil.
Since the investigation was carried on by the university class the proposal has been given wide consideration. About three years ago a decided movement toward the adoption of advertising was manifested among enterprising church men, but it did not get far. In isolated instances advertising was undertaken and proved to be successful. When the Men and Religion Forward Movement was organized a year or two ago among the activities to which it was consecrated was an inquiry as to the value of advertising church services, and a census was taken not alone of the churches but of newspapers with respect to the problem of publicity. Until the Kansas effort, however, no definite plan for forming a co-ordination of the advertising columns of the newspapers and the pulpits of the land has been undertaken.
Hitherto the discussion along this line has related to the general publicity of religious news rather than to the use of the newspapers as an advertising medium. It has been necessary, of course, to overcome, in a measure at least, the unfounded conviction that newspapers give more space to news of crime than to news relating to religion, religious affairs and the uplifting influences. That fallacious notion has had wide vogue, but is absolutely unjust to newspapers that gradually is not losing its force. Now the prospect is that the discussion will turn to the real matter of interest: The forceful advertisement of the claims of the churches on the same basis as business establishments which seek to attract and hold the attention of the public.
The actual trial of it has been successful where tried. That is indicative of its expansion.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
Folibles are not inconsistent with generous and great qualities, and we judge wrongly of human nature when we mistake circumstances which make the shallow misanthropical, incline the wise woman; not incompatible with frailty, not incompatible with great men; they wonder and despise but the discerning find that greatness is not incompatible with them; they admire and injulge--Builer.

COMMUNICATION INDECENT?
Editor Daily Kansan:
—The Tatler.
In your issue of November 15th, you have a timely editorial on "Do Girls Lack Spirit?" based on the failure of the University girls to join in songs and yells at the games and rallies.
The "K. U." girls seem to be ladies. In view of this fact they could hardly join in some of the songs and yells frequently heard on the campus and athletic field. Some of the songs and yells now being used need to be sent to the laundry and thoroughly scrubbed and fumigated before they will be fit for gentlemen to use, much less for ladies. Clean up our yells if we expect the co-eds to join us. After an indecent song or yell is given, ladies as well as many men, however patriotic they may be, can not continue with an enthusiastic spirit. There are certain songs saturated with profanity, are heard oftener than their patriotic "Crimson and the famous "Rock-Chalk," and the favorable "Rock-Chalk" of the profane songs is made the leading paragraph of the leading article on the front page of the "University Daily Kansan" of November 15th. Does it become a gentleman to ask a lady to join him in such a song?
Last Friday we were favored at chapel by a visit from a number of club ladies. In the rally that follow, we sang a song that was positively vulgar.
Very respectfully yours,
"Have you seen young Russel's baseball moustache?"
From our dark spirits. —Keats.
“K. U.” prides herself in playing clean games. The spirit of courtesy shown opposing teams and visitors by the “K. U.” rooters is commendable. Let us make our yells and sonrs decent.

POPULAR MUSICAL PLAY
HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
"The Goddess of Liberty" in which Joseph E. Howard comes to the Bowersock on Friday, Nov. 22, is one of the most popular of the many musical plays by that prolific young composer. It is replete with lifting melodies fresh from the Howard mint and the big producing company render it with that degree of dash and sparkle that characterizes all the Howard productions. Among the many successes which are credited to Mr. Howard are "The Time, he made a song," "A Storm Barn Cinderella," "The Golden Girl," "The Land of Nod," "The Girl Question," "Honeymoon Trail," and many others, and he is now working on a new musical play to be produced in Chicago Christmas week entitled "Frivolous Geraldine."
Prominent in the supporting company is Miss Mabel McCane, the talented little comedienne who has distinguished herself as the star of several musical comedy hits. Miss McCane, who also played opposite Mr. Howard in "Love and Politics" made an empirical success in Ireland, but then replaced Miss Lina Arabbanelli in the title role of "Madame Sherry," then playing at the Tivoli Theater. Prices 50c to $1.50—Adv.
THEY ASK PROFESSOR'S
APPROVAL ON SCALES
When wise manufacturers of scales want to sell their machines in Kansas, they now find out before hand if their scale conforms to the state law. Prof. Edwin F. Stimpson, deputy sealer of weights and measures, is testing a new platform scale this year. The scale is Co., and his stamp of approval will be necessary before the scale can be sold in the state.
Stimpson to Scale Conference.
Edwin F. Stimpson, assistant professor of physics and state deputy sealer of weights and measures, has been invited to attend a conference on weights and measures problems to be held in Minneapolis this week.
TOO MANY CLOTHES SPOILS
THE HEALTH, SAYS DOCTOR
People in the state of Kansas who wear too much clothing in winter are putting their health in just as much danger as if they wore too few garments. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Dean of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, declares that thousands of Kansas citizens who weigh themselves down with muffers and sweaters during this season of the year are practically inviting sickness.
"By overdressing any part of the body, as the throat, for example, more than the proper share of the blood goes to this part," explains Doctor Crumbine. "It becomes inflamed. Many sore throats are caused by wearing scarfs and muffers about the throat. The harm comes from overheating this part of the body, making it 'tender,' and also from sudden cooling."
Student Wants To Go To Turkey
One University of Kansas student wants to go to Turkey in spite of the present dangerous atmosphere in the land of the sultan. Manager Roy Stockwell of the Y. M. G. A. advertised last week for applicants for two positions of missionary teachers in colleges there, and he has found a single undergraduate who would prefer the Mohammedn country to the University campus.
