THOSE CAPS AGAIN
Once more the freshman cap has come into prominence. It, or rather the lack of it, was the cause of an embryonic riot between upperclassmen and freshmen after Monday's hygiene class. Freshmen went to the rescue of capless classmates who were in imminent danger of being paddled. An incipient rough-house was the result.
This action on the part of the freshmen, while it was the natural thing to do under the circumstances, will probably cause a resumption of the paddling of first year men. The ruling of the Student Council will be upheld and the freshmen can gain nothing by resisting it.
Their action in opposing the padding of some of their number can mean but one of two things, either that the freshmen are unwilling to abide by the freshman cap rule or that they are inviting punishment for sport's sake. The result will be the same in either event.
It is unfortunate that the difficulty has arisen just when the cap question had begun to work out satisfactorily. It is unfortunate for both sides, the upperclassmen lose valuable time from their classes in performing their necessary duties and the freshmen lose that peace of mind that comes with unblemished anatomy.
The freshman class has no stauncher friend than the Daily Kansas and no more energetic worker for its welfare. As such, we wish to offer a few words of advice, "wear your caps."
Of course, resistance means a few days of fun and amusement, but the lion's share of it usually goes to the other fellow. We admire your spirit in aiding your classmates, but spirit is a poor rival of arnica.
There is another act we also admire. That is the nerve of the handful of upperclassmen who started paddling a member of the hygiene class in the presence of the rest of the class.
The Daily Kansas printed an editorial from the Yale Daily News yesterday on "Schools of Journalism." By it, one would judge that the News' staff is rather a closed corporation.
MISTAKES
A mistake usually is the action of some one else. Not often does it happen that a man will admit a full-grown mistake and take credit for it in its entirety. As for this, neither will a woman. Why not?
An old saying has it that mistakes happen in the best of families. Nowadays mistakes don't happen. They are "committed" by someone. Not often in the manner of so many crimes, that is, with malice aforethought; the mistake has a way of just creeping in, in some unguarded moment. After it has crept in successfully, it claims to have been "committed."
Not everybody makes mistakes;
only those who do things and attempt to do things. If you have never "committed" a mistake, it stands to reason that you have never done anything. (The Daily Kansan will be pleased to print any views contrary to this last statement.)
Having been accused of making multitudinous mistakes, we swell with pride. We are not overly egotistical, but think of the many things we have had to attempt to make all these errata.
Yet some persons are unreasonable about this matter. They call us up on the 'phone and speak harshly to us. Sometimes they call in person and intimate that we do not care whether we print things correctly or not.
Which is far from the truth. Because we are willing to admit a mistake now and then, it does not follow that we study to make them. We ask that you be as patient as you can, and when a mistake comes to your notice, look it over carefully and see if there are not a dozen ways in which it might have slipped in.
The Palette club is no more. Let it be hoped that with the passing of this name the members of the new national do not lose their taste for art.
WE WANT BREVITY
If your communication to the Daily Kansan was not published, think it over and try to remember how long it was. Because of lack of space, communications, except in rare cases must be limited to 250 words.
If you differ with the Daily Kansan about any particular happening, or if you have a kick to register, we are glad to print what you write, but come to the point in as few words as possible.
"See a little well," says a headline. Now isn't that head brimful of good advice?
October didn't break any records. What would have been the use with the world's championship series and a presidential campaign on?
A STUDENT SKATING RINK
While running through a file of old Rhetoric I themes the other day we ran across a paper advocating the establishment of a skating rink at the University. The idea seemed to be a good one, and coincident with the fact that we would seem to be a good thing to give the proposition a boost.
Would it not be possible to embank the athletic field around the circular cinder path to the extent of 10 or 12 inches, and then flood the field from one of the city mains? The field is enclosed, so there would be no trouble in charging admission for those who wanted to have a good skate. An admission of 5 or 10 cents could be charged, and this if the rider was patronized, and it is reasonable to suppose that it would be, it would more than cover the original expense of installation.
A University skating park is one of many things that would do this, and for that reason, if for no other, we recommend the plan to the proper authorities and urge that it be given consideration.—Daily Nebraskan.
Outside of the practical pleasure that the students would receive from a skating rink of their own, assuming that it would be feasible to build one, it would be a great thing for the University. The more that the students can be brought together as masons may begin, the easier it will be for Nebraska to build up a genuine college spirit within their midst.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
The poet shows "the nature of things" as much as the reasoner, though he may not "buckle and bow the mind to you." He deth not only a prospect into what is so valuable a prospect into the way as will entice any man to enter into it. Nay, he doth as if your journey should lie through a fair vineyard, at the edge of the city, where grapes, that full of that taste you may long to pass further.
POETRY

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
How sweet I roamed from field to field.
and tasted all the summer's pride,
Till I the Prince of Love behold,
I will be
Who in the sunny beams did glide.
He showed me illies for my hair.
And let me through his garden! **hall** with
his golden pleasures
wrow.
And Phoebe fired my vocal rage.
He and I ran through the hall,
and shut me in his golden cage.
With sweet May-dews my wings were wet.
And blushing roses for my wife,
Akron. All who love her.
When all his großen pleasures
He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays
The annual report of the treasurer of Yale university for the year 1911-12 shows that the total gifts and bequests amounted to $1,641,754.
Students at the University of South Carolina who desire to gain a scientific knowledge of the automobile may take a course which allows one credit hour.
And blushing roses for my brow,
and led me, through his garden faim
THE NEWSPAPER GUY
Of the cop where the work of the fire-friends shines.
And he scorns all assistance, but brings him to book.
I see a man pushing his way though the lines
"The chief" I inquire, but a fireman replies, "Ob, no, that's one."
Then stretches my golden wings
And mocks my loss of liberty.
"Mr. Burns?" I inquire. Some one scornfully cries—
"Burns?" No; he's just one of them newspaper guys."
I see a man start on the trail of a crook,
I see a man walk through the door of a show.
Where hundreds are blocked by the sire S. R. O.
William Blake.
And see a man enter, unquestioned and bold,
"Well hardly. He's one of those newsman, guys."
"Is this fellow a star that no ticket he buys?"
I see a man knock on a president's door.
And the sign "No Admittance" completely ignore.
Hired Man—Nope. Sort er lost my pull.
"A saint?" I'll inquire, and old Petter will reply.
"Is this Morgan, that privacy's right he denies?"
"Morgan? Shucks! It's just one of those newspaper guys."
Cornell Widow.
"Smoking again? I thought you'd eat it out."
And some day I'll walk by the great streets of gold,
Agent-Here, you've had that typewriter for six months and you haven't paid me a cent for it.
He—My dear, I wish you would go get yourself ready for dinner before the company arrives.
'Well, I SHOULD SAY NOT: he's a newspaper guy.'
Hamid—Seeen much of that girl? Egrid-I should say so. I met her at the beach this summer and took her to the opera.
—Princeton Tiger.
—Louisville Courier-Journal.
At Montana the sophomores recently established a new tradition. They have built a large block (M) on a nearby hill and have delegated the class of 1916 to keep it polished up. Hereafter each freshman class will be expected to do this.
-Stanford Chaparral.
Indignant Farmer—Say, look here y'er ain't getting as much milk from them cows as y' uster.
Student—Well, you said it would pay for itself in six months.
She--My gracious! Are they cannibals?
