THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24,1912.
Some study shows the need for more- From the Chinese.
WHERE IS THE END?
This year the students of the University have paid $6,000 for student enterprise tickets. Of this, eighty per cent, or $4,000, goes to the athletic association. Last year the association received $3,800 for its share of the money from this source.
Year before last the athletic association had a surplus of about $5,000. Last year the receipts were decreased $11,000 on account of the removal of the Missouri game from Kansas City. Not taking into consideration the increasing cost of running the teams, this would mean that the association needs $6,000 a year more than it is receiving. Where is this money to come from?
The coaches' salaries this year will amount to $3,900, all of which is paid by the association. The equipment of the football team so far has cost $1,800. These two items of expense amount to $5,700, or $900 more than all the money received from the students during the year.
One result is apparent in the necessity of raising the price of the student tickets to five dollars. Another is the rigid economy necessary in all athletic expenditures. But the end is not yet.
Next year conditions will be worse than at prescat. With the game at Columbia the receipts will be much less than here at Lawrence.
Who will pay the difference?
It is hoped that the Daily Kansan's song contest will produce nothing like that Missouri "Houn' Dog" afair.
The governor said that the University pays for itself every year in dollars and cents. Why not in dollars and sense?
A REAL RALLY
A real oldtime football rally will be held at chapel time tomorrow. Every loyal student will try and crowd in. Speeches will be made and Manager Hamilton will explain the position of the Athletic Association as regards enterprise tickets.
The football songs are to be tried out, and the one which meets with greatest favor from the students will no doubt be selected as the prize winner.
Aside from these attractions there is the real thing for which rallies are held, viz., to foster in the minds of new men and old, the idea of love and loyalty for the University of Kansas and her athletics.
Owing to injuries and other troubles, the football team is in a critical condition. At no time during the season has hope been so low. Enthusiasm is absolutely necessary if the Jayhawkers expect to beat the Aggies Saturday.
The rally tomorrow will be conducted as the rallies have heretofore, and the freshmen are urged to be out in a body, as this phase of university life is one that comes only in the fall of the year, and then but three or four times.
Tomorrow will tell how the stu
dents are going to stand back of the team. If only a few congregate and these few vend their enthusiasm by amorous glances at their "K" watch fobs, the team cannot expect any support from the bleachers. On the other hand, an enthusiastic crowd, full of cheers, will mean increased effort and confidence on the part of the team, and give things a much brighter outlook.
K. U. young women are to be compared with Venus. This may be all right for the women, but wait until they compare the young men with Apollo and count the entries.
STUDENT'S ADVANTAGE
Manager Hamilton said this morning that the Athletic Association had done all in its power to give the students the advantage in securing desirable seats for the Missouri—Kansas football game. As a matter of fact, any seat will be desirable, and within a week of the date of the game, it is likely to be considered a privilege to witness it from any angle.
Students and faculty members have the privilege of making application for as many tickets as they wish and have had since last Thursday. Outsiders' applications are not yet considered. The announcements of the game have not yet been sent out, so not even the alumni have been given the opportunity to purchase tickets.
The tickets applied for by the students will be held two days after the first day of distribution which is Nov. 4. If the student is not sure how many tickets he will want he may make application for the maximum number, and then on Nov. 4, or before, he may pay for the exact number he wants and the others will be put back on sale.
In the opinion of the Daily Kansan, the Athletic Association is doing every thing in its power, under the circumstances, to give the students a square deal.
The Daily Kansas feels tolerably certain that there would be absolutely no objection to the extra dollar asked for the Tiger game if the faculty team would consent to appear and show their skill.
THE FRATERNITY QUESTION
What is a fraternity and what should it be? Broadly, this is the mooted fraternity question. Far be it from the Daily Maroon to attempt to solve the problems by answering the questions cited. But certain minor problems bearing upon these large ones may be answered with profit.
There is the question of rushing, for instance. When and how and for how long should a fraternity rush its men? How should an invitation to a fraternity be extended? How long an interval should elapse between the time a man is pledged and the time he is initiated?
What relationship should exist between the fraternity and its University? How can the fraternity co-operate with the University in giving to each man the best things in preparation for life? How can the fraternity prepare for an exclusive body, to be an integral part of a Democratic institution?
What relation should fraternity bear to fraternity and what relation to the non-fraternity body? What part, as a fraternity, should each fraternity play in the fostering of legitimate undergraduate activities and the enriching of undergraduate social life?
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
In a word, how can fraternities improve their methods of getting men and their relations to the University, between themselves and to the whole undergraduate body—Chicago Daily Maroon.
WEIGHT AND WORTH
An old rusty iron chest in a banker's shop, strongly locked, and wonderfully heavy, is full of gold. This is the general opinion; neither can it be disproved, provided the key be lost, or broken, provided that it will not, by any motion, discover the metal by cloning—Swift.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Now the tempests wild are sleeping.
And from the horizon creeping
Rays of morning streak the skies,
and the wind swirls. The placid sea reflects the shore,
Skies kiss waves and waves the skies;
Little ripples, lightly plashing,
And water flows around them.
And they trickle, lightly playing
O'er a corpse upon the sand.

Yes, 'tis he! although he perished,
Still his sacred truth he cherished,
An instant's glance tells all to her;
Not a murmur leaves her lip;
Down she looks in cold despair;
Gazes round the desert sea,
Trustless gazes the sky,
Through her pallid visage fire
Through her pallid visage fly!
Downward then, while all in vain her Fluttering robots would still sustain
Springs she into Pontus's wave; Graspin it and her, the god Whirls them in his deepest flood, And, himself, becomes their grave. With his prizes then contented, Peaceful bids his waters glide, From the unexhausted vessels, Whence there streams an endless tide Shiller
SILLY, AINT IT?
"And then my heart with pleasure dills,
And dances with the daffodils."
It was a balmy winter's evening. The hoar-frost hung in huge festions along the porch railing. Somewhere in the middle foreground was heard the song of the snowbird as he chirped a Christmas carol. Suddenly one of the guests agreed on the porch seat drew away from the other and exclaimed:
FROM HERO AND LEANDER
"Fie, Si, what if Sigma knew." Don't cut, boys, there's a quiz Monday.
Twenty-three white-broiled figures stood in solemn state upon the steps of the Natural History Museum. Tightly clasped in their respective phalanges were long staves, fashioned from lignum vitae. A voice hailed them from the conning tower, "Two freshmen to starboard." As the first inanimate form stirs slightly, it opens one optic and whispers:
"If anatomy is a stiff proposition, is Chemistry I1?"
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
It's 10:30, Steve, Remember the rules.
There was absolute silence in the Green Hall lecture room. Calmly the prof, masticated his quid of Granger Twist and gazed steadfastly at the fly buzzing about a student's bald pate. A loud snore broke the silence into an echo, as a smolder envelope was shoved through the key-hole. On the paper inside was written: "Why is a law's train of thought wreckened when he sees an engineer?" Goodness, here's the 7:30 whistle and my hair ain't combed.
Ethel—Why did you take off your hat to that girl? You don't know her, do you?
Jack—No-er—but my brother does and this is his hat.
—Princeton Tiger.
He—Yes, I am an instructor in nsvchool .
She—Oh, how heavenly! That's where the boys learn to take care of their bicycles, I suppose.
—Princeton Tiger.
She—I think nothing is more im- proper than Evelyn's bathing suit. He—I should say it was.
Jack—Dearest, if I were you, I couldn't live without me.

Ready-made Clothes
YOU know how it is; many men, even when they wear ready-made clothes, feel they'd really be better off if their clothes were made-to-order. Thousands of low-priced "custom" tailors exist to-day wholly on this ancient prejudice; many thousands of men annually have their clothes "made-to-measure" at about the cost or little a higher cost than fine ready-made, on the theory that they're getting "something better;" paying tribute to the tape line "fetish."
The Correct View of It
But you'll find now many men who make no apology, even to themselves, for wearing ready-made clothes; they think they're better clothes. Well, they're right; and the others are wrong. It wasn't always so, but it's so now. Your tailor can't produce, at anywhere near the price, as good a suit as you can buy, ready-made, from us.
The Best Argument of All
The old arguments—money-saving; time saving; seeing the clothes finished and on you; knowing about fit, and style, and becomingness before you pay your money—these are all good arguments for ready-made clothes.
ONE PRICE
But the best argument now is the quality; ready-made clothes are better-in style, in tailoring, in quality of materials, in fit-than ninety-five per cent of so-called "custom-tailored" clothes; ready-made clothes like ours are the standard by which to measure the "custom-tailored" product. The situation has been reversed by our goods.
