THE SQUARE DEAL? Straight trees are felled first. From the Chinese. If the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, there was a mass meeting held in chapel once upon a time, for the purpose of "saving football". From the accounts current at that time, football needed a savior and needed him bad. The Board of Regents had decided, it was said, that football must go and the wrath of the gods must be appeased. Obviously, the conventional way to do the appeasing was to offer a sacrifice. The sacrifice was the Kansas City game. Football had to be preserved at any cost and the Board of Regents had their way. Even at that time the question of finances was brought up by persons with enough foresight to see that taking the game away from Kansas City would mean a curtailment of necessary expenses. "Let us use soft athletics from the taint of commercialism," the Regents said, "by playing the games on college gridirons." The taint of commercialism was removed, it would seem, and the students are paying twice what they formerly paid for their athletics. It is well for them that football was possessed of only one taint. At that time the Regents practically pledged themselves to partially make up for the loss of receipts by paying the salaries of the various coaches. It was as much a part of the agreement as that of the students in giving up the Kansas City game, if football would be spared. This year the athletic association is paying $3,900 for coaches' salaries. What's the answer. "Iinject Dead Germs Into Students' Arms," says a head line. Dead or alive, Mr. Germ manages to keep his name before the public. A news story explains why the wind blows. This being presidential year might clear the matter up in part. There is talk of a course that will teach engineers how to run an automobile. A good prerequisite to this might be a course in how to buy one. Are you eligible? ELIGIBILITY. If so, you are lucky. Eligibility is the bane of student activities. In order to compete in these activities, it is necessary to have a standing that pleases the eligibility committee, and it is the most particular group in the University. The cub reporter works' day and night to make a place on the staff of a university publication. At last he is rewarded, and in great glee he sends a marked copy to father. Father immediately subscribes, and by the time the paper has went through the red tape necessary to the subscription department, the E. C. has sweoped down on the son, and lifted his name from its place in the staff. Then 'must follow explanations as to how it all happened. Consider the athlete. Just before entering a conference game in which he hopes to achieve fame and a "K," Mr. Fullback, or Mr. Halfback as the case may be, is told that he cannot play because of poor rhetoric work while in high school. Or think of the case of Dottie Footlights. She becomes a member of a prominent dramatic club, and in the play that the club selects, she finds a part that suits her exactly. Indeed the part is assigned to her with the unanimous approval of the entire club. Then the E. C. finds that Dottie's attendance in hygiene has been so irregular, that she must refrain from taking any part in dramas. And so on throughout the entire list of activities, this committee dominates their personnel. In fact, we know of nothing more difficult than pleasing an eligibility committee, and nothing more discouraging than having the committee become interested in us. The mask ball tomorrow night promises to be rather scary. And it is common talk that the faculty will be well represented. The fact that Missouri has drawn the color line seems to be making Jumbo Stiehm a trifle blue. To use a trite expression, Jumbo rather feels that his line has "pailed into insignificance." WHY IS IT? Everyone can name the next president. Every student has the hardest course. No one ever wears tight shoes. The tuneless man is passionately fond of music. The P. C. has no admirers. Each professor thinks that his course is essential to culture. There are no pups in the psychol or department this year. No one will admit that he likes to see his name in the paper. The student wants you to think he a worldly wise. The Washburn coach is pointing his men for the Kansas game. The Jayhawk, however, seems to be too wily a bird for the pointers. THE FRESHMAN CAP It is clear that freshmen who habitually infringe upon the rules do so for one of two reasons; either they take a pleasurable pride in running on the track, or they are more likely, they are ashamed of "freshmom" and of their class. We have been given to understand that a few freshmen are not wearing the regulation gray cap. Further discussion in these columns of the reasons responsible for the continued existence of the rule requiring all members of the entering class to wear only the official freshman headdress, would be both inappropriate and superfluous. Suffice it to say, that the cap is one of the principal means of arousing in its wearers that spirit of class loyalty which is one of the finest fruits of undergraduate life at a great university. We might add that the cap is also a quick and ready means of marking off freshmen from those who have already passed the first milestone along the sometime arduous path to a degree—such distinction being often desirable for obvious reasons. A freshman who is actuated by these motives deserves the hearty contempt of his classmates. It is no stigma to wear the "gray cap" with the "black button." That cap is the badge of 1916, just as the cornellian "C" is the badge of preeminence in athletics, and the Phi Beta Kappa key of superior scholarship. But stigma or no stigma, the rule is plain and, as such, will be enforced.—Coroll Daily Sun. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS In looking over my books some years ago, I found the following story: I was a teenager years old, and till this day I know for that I have "met with one person who has used to live in my father's house, who did not use his guild, more or less." John Wesley. GUILE. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE I TRAVELLED AMONG UN KNOWN MEN. I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea; The Daily Kauan will publish in their readers' contributions welcome.
