MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1912.
Free sitters at the play always grumble most—From the Chinese.
HELP MAKE THINGS GO!
Are you in favor of Parents day? If so, get into the game and help make thing go. If not, kindly keep still about it when within the hearing of others.
You can help by encouraging your fellow students to favor the plan, and by writing home. Every student ought to want his parents to visit him in the University at some time during the year, and one big day can be made that will equal any other custom that the University has in both worth and enjoyment.
There are no parents who are not interested in the University. And should a day of general visitation be set aside for their benefit it is to be supposed that they will respond to the general invitation. At present, however, a personal invitation from you will arouse their interest and start things off right.
Write at once and find out how the plan is regarded by those at home.
The Indians at Haskell held a debate last week, "Resolved, That the Indian should be exterminated," and the affirmative won.
STILL WORTH THE MONEY.
The hill side bleachers were full Saturday. About seventy-five cents difference between the holders of these seats and those who sit inside.
STILL WORTH THE MONEY.
That the students consider that enterprise tickets are still worth the five dollars asked for them was demonstrated last week when over 100 of them were sold to students. And this after the beginning of the extra dollar controversy. |
Even now, the tickets are worth almost three times the price. If you do not own one, think seriously about what admission to the many activities will cost you without one. The ticket is still a good investment.
HAD TO BE.
It seems that the Sooners have some sort of a hoodoo on the Jayhawkers nowadays, judging from what happened Saturday. As last year, it was a field goal that beat Kansas, and as last year, we take off our hat to Bennie Owens, the Oklahoma coach.
It certainly seemed that the Kansas men were going to win even in the last few minutes of play. Oklahoma seemed to be melting away before the charging Kansans, but the final burst of strength came too late. Kansas had the better of it as far as yards gained counts, and while the break in the luck were about even, it is the general opinion that Oklahoma was the most fortunate.
The rooting was good as far as it went, the most lamentable feature of it being the cat calls that were given when one or two songs were taken up.
What remains to do this week is get up pep enough to wash Washburn off her feet this coming Saturday; at least 800 rooters should accompany the team to Topeka, for Driver has been pointing his men for Kansas, and will undoubtedly put up a hard fight.
There is no resentment whatever in the minds of the rooters because of the defeat Saturday. It had to be, is the general idea, and everyone is satisfied with the showing the team made. Ask anyone what will happen to the Tigers.
The gas will be low during all the cold spell according to a news story. The students who suffered last year will testify that this is no idle talk too.
COURTESY
Remember, when you were a freshman, how you felt when you met a fellow and tried to speak to him and be ignored you completely. Remember when you would join a group and try to mix in the conversation how coldly your remark was greeted, and what disdainful looks the wise ones gave you.
Made you feel pretty small didn't it?
Remember the thousand and one efforts you made to be sociable and agreeable, and the few upperclassmen who cared to make new acquaintances among the freshmen.
Made you feel rather resentful didn't it?
Try and think of this when you are next introduced to a freshman. Be courteous to him; it can't hurt you.
"Kansans buying impure fruits," says a headline. Rather a rotten practice on the part of those who sell it.
The good old Kansas hens and the fertile soil for the "filling" spuds keep K. U. clubs out of the hole, says the University Daily Kansan. But at Yale the Jayhawker fowls and farms are of no benefit and the Yale dining hall lost $3,501 during the last fiscal year. A report says that the deficit was due largely to the increased cost of eggs and potatoes.—Newton Republican.
SAY HELLO.
A great many of us, if not all, have often heard it said that a state university should be a democratic institution, and with this sentiment we continue our discussion on certain occasions often belies our same opinions.
It is a common occurrence for one to meet his student acquaintances, and after the meeting feel as though he had been snubbed; and he carries that with him, knowing that is not likely to strengthen his opinion of the Golden Rule.
It may be that the "snubbing" was unintentional. It's quite possible that the "snubber" was thinking of the quiz he just took, or of the ball that he's going to attend on the next Friday night. Well if he was, he was not doing his thinking in the proper environment. Reflecting on a quail while on one's way to class somewhat resembles the singing of "Casey Jones" during a church service. It's out of place.
Lastly it may be that the "snubber" is simply indifferent. This too is a dangerous symptom—one that causes broken wrecks and similar catastrophes.
Whatever may be the cause of these apparent "snubs," the best cure of them is in a simple remedy—and that remedy lies in the simple prescription "Say hello."—Silver and Gold.
Again it might be possible that the "snubber" has an exalted opinion of himself; so he won't speak, or it will. Such an attitude needs no comment.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
It has been said, the English are wise in action, not in thought. It has been also said, the height of the river is always the doubt of any kind can only be removed by action." While we sit still, we are walking along a river, moving up and down, is the way to discover depths and shallows. Men, till a matter be done, seem to me so as it is done, wonder again that it was no sooner done.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
EPITAPH FROM GRAY'S ELEGY
EPITAPH FROM GRAYS ELEGY
Here rests his head upon the lap of earth
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown,
Fair widow frowned not on his humble birth,
And melancholy marked him for her own.
Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere,
Heaven did a recompense as largely send:
He gave to misery, all he had, a treasury.
He gained from Heaven (twass all he wished) a friend.
No farther seek his merits to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode,
(There they alike in trembling he repose)
The beoon of his Father and his God.
COMMUNICATIONS
Editor Daily Kansan:
NOTES.
Your recent editorial under the caption "N. B." touches a matter of much importance for students and instructors alike, and one which is much discussed in educational circles. If note-taking in class be an educational monster, it is a hydra-headed one. The method has had a long history, and is now largely dominant in our universities from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It originated in part in an honest effort to destroy the evils of the older recitation system, under which the classroom was largely a platform for declamations by the students of pieces improvised or practically memorized before coming to class. No doubt the present system often comes near being a matter of declamation by the instructor. Any method, however fresh and stimulating at first—as a weapon for something better, is likely to degenerate in the practical routine. The pure method may supposedly be a fairly good one for certain subjects, instructors and courses, while a poor makehift for others. There must be some fixed method so long as large numbers of students are gathered into that somewhat artificial group called a class—a group of "socii" no doubt, but not necessarily showing a very large "likeliness." The tutor system of Oxford and Princeton may be a parial solution of the problem; but at present the University of Kansas has hardly sufficient funds to inaugurate such a system.
Gray.
A good many years ago, Dr. Albert Shaw, then as now, editor of the Review of Reviews, gave some lectures to a large body of students 'n Barnes Hall, Cornell University. In opening his lectures, he instructed students as he preferred that they give their attention to what he had to say.

Who really couldn't bear
To see without a blush of shame
The legs upon a chair.

To him when he was forced to see
The figures on a clock.

To Mother
A Gift to Mother is the Best Gift in the World.
She is more interested in you and your college course than anyone else. Gifts to her now mean pleasant memories to you in the future.
Why not let us send her a copy of the University Daily Kansan telling her each day of the University you are attending.
The Daily Kansan can be one of the letters you write home—and you little realize how these letters are appreciated.
Five hundred students sent the Daily Kansan home last year—and each and every one has said "keep it up!" There's a reason.
Drop a card in any University mail box and we'll do the rest.
