If you fear that people will know don't do it—From the Chinese. DEFEAT. It seems pretty tough to be beaten by Drake for the first time, not that Drake has not always put up a good game, but just because it is for the first time and because it is the first defeat of the season. Of course the team that went to Drake was in a crippled condition. Two of the men who starred in the first two games remained at home on account of eligibility trouble, and practically every man in the line-up was wearing a bandage. Had the men been in good shape, the rooters feel confident that the final result of the first conference game would tell a different story. Will the rooters show the same bull dog spirit as the team? Every rooter will. The question now is, will Kansas keep up her sight? Most assuredly, yes. For Kansas is noted for last ditch play. Show your spirit. Don't back down. The team lost a game. Don't brood over it, but be a Kansan worth while. Now is the time that you are needed Mr. Kansas Man. Get out and push for the team. Of course it is easier to yell for a team that is winning. In fact, any one will yell and cheer when the team is having all the best of it. The man worth while is the one who cheers longer and louder than ever when the team seems to have struck a losing streak. Students may send their ballots home by mail. Fathers may be expected to urge their sons to remember that the ballot can not stand the delay that the usual weekly letter of ten does. BE BRIEF The Daily Kansan wishes to ask that communications for the Student Opinion column be made short enough that they may be printed. Several have been received during the past few days that are too long for the space there is for them. By this we do not mean to cut them down to nothing, but to limit them to three or four paragraphs. If the subject requires more space than this, make two separate communications. SPEAKING OF PESTS SPEAKING OF TESTIMO Since pointing out for the benefit of those who already know about them a few varieties of the pests that make the campus their habitat we have been fairly deluged with pest communications. Of course, not to such an extent as to put the writers into the pest class, but enough to make the mail-man pestiferous and the editorial sanctum sanctorum distantly resemble a pest-house. Some have been written in prose and some in anapestic verse, but all have a common subject. If a straw vote were taken the classroom poet would easily take first place. This variety has received more consideration from the communicants than all the others combined and, from the statements made UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN about him, he thinks he is entitled to it. The classroom pest is generally of the male species, though not necessarily. He occupies a front seat and the attention of the instructor and those of the class who are afflicted with insomnia. He argues points, debatable and undebatable, and asks questions, pertinent and impertinent. His sole ambition is the murder of the old gent with the scythe. He is with us always though sometimes in more aggravated form and greater numbers than at other times. The disease is contagious, especially if the instructor is not inclined to employ stringent disinfectant measures. Unfortunately the majority of the faculty fail to recognize the symptoms and diagnose the pests's complaint as an entirely different malady, i. e. excessive interest. As long as this is the case, the classroom pest will continue to spread infection and dissatisfaction among the other students. We may talk of him, about him, and to him, but he wil remain a pest and, as such, forever live—and talk. Three hundred witnessed the Soccer game Saturday. They aver that he game implies a great deal of lead work as well as foot work. THE SPEAKER T. LET THE SPEAKER TALK It was noticed Friday, while W. Y. Morgan was speaking in chapel, that a number of students outside were voicing their sentiments in a noisy manner, so noisy in fact that the speaker was interrupted a time or two. Such conduct on the part of the students is unpardonable. If there are any who do not wish to attend chapel, they might just as well keep out of hearing altogether. Most of us enjoy a good talk and we do not care to have it interrupted by yelling and whistling by those who do not. There is one consolation. Nebraska and Missouri both got the same medicine, and in larger doses. Kansas might have made a few feathers fly Saturday, but she couldn't get the Drake down. GIVE ME HEALTH AND A DAY. "Give me health and a day," says Emerson, "and I will make the pump of emperors ridiculous." OKEY-wow-wow. That's just the way we feel. Who cares for the simultaneous equation, the Malthusian doctrine, or the statute of frauds, on such days as these Not we illiuni surely. There is too much life, too much living, just now for any of us to care a whit what our grades will be next February. The maps on our campus tease us, the blue sky tantalizes us, the sunshine laughs at us—even the garnet-colored little bar-berry bush by the sundial blushes for us—when we have to bury ourselves in the classroom and the laboratory—and we can't help rebelling. But Saturday afternoon is coming, and then—well, we'll one of us be out on the bleachers in our bright rooters' caps and warm fall costumes—cheering, singing, laughing, yes living—while the sun shines into the orange and blue heavens, and the Crimson eleven and our own team battle before us in the best of all our college sports. So give us health and a day, and with genuine Emerson abandonment to the delight of autumn we'll make the pomp of emperor ridiculous.—Daily Illini. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS Is a man who has quitted the ways of vulgar without light to guide him in a better way. No longer respects authority, and common interests, and common persuasions, by which the mass of mortals each individually ignorant—nay, it may be, stolid, and altogether blind as to the proper aim of life—are afraid of their own existence in this channel of a torrent, by their very multitude and mutual collisions are made to move with some regularity, but not brave; the slain of impulses which are unproven not true or better, and the more untrue that they are solitary. The Daily Kanan will publish in the newspaper witnesses of the riders Constitution Day. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE FAUST Carlyle. Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky! The dew shall weep thy fall tonight; For thou must die. VIRTUE Sweet rose, whose hue, angry and brave. Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, Thy root is ever in its grave, And thou must die. Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses. A box where weeps compacted lie, My music shows ye have your closes, The door is wide. Only a sweet and virtuous soul, George Herbert. in summer season the snow never gives But touch the whole world turn to coal, STUDENT OPINION ON THE GRASS The editor is not responsible for tweaks expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith. Signs don't mean anything to the students of the University of Kansas. Put up a sign on every square foot of the campus and they would still walk on the grass. This practice should be stopped in some way; because we have visitors. These animal trails leading in all directions will not add to the beauty of the grounds. Editor Daily Kansan: A JOKE? The joke is on me. I thought when I paid five dollars (a raise of two dollars), for my athletic ticket this year, that I would be admitted and welcome to everything promised by the Student Enterprise Association; and now the "Kansan" comes along with the announcement that unless I hand over another dollar or dollar a half, I stand an excellent chance at receiving Kansas football game from the newspaper columns. Certainly I will see the game even if I do have to wear my "oxfords" another month; but I have had removed from my mind the idea suggested by Registrar Foster last year, that student athletes are first of all for the students' benefit. W. E. H. A Student. THE PHILOSOPHER If the golden age is passed, it was not genuine. Gold cannot rust or decay; it comes out of all admixtures, and all decomposition, pure and indestructible. If the golden age will not endure it had better never arise: for it can produce nothing but elegies on its loss. -A. W. Schlegel. IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS IN the Good Old Days $., $.$... "Between the years of 1876 and 1881, when I was in the University, we took more interest in oratory and literary work than students of today do," said one of our most prominent professors today. "Why, we had two societies here known as the Orophilean and the Oread which kept the pot boiling continually for literary honors. These societies were granted a part on the commencement program in the spring, and it was worth while then for any man to be a literary man. We should have more of such societies." "When I went to school at the University," said a professor recently, "it was not possible, as it is today, for one to graduate from the institution without becoming acquainted with all one's classmates. This condition is regrettable and you young fellows should devise some means of bringing more of the students together. I can hardly believe it when seniors tell me that they are introduced to other sisters for the first time at Commencement week. Get acquainted." Three of the members drove out to a farm on the Wakarusa, and as they were driving away with the turkeys they had bagged, they were overtaken by the farmer and his neighbor, armed with shotguns. Some years ago it was the custom of one of the fraternities to provide turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner without buying it. The fraternity members were taken back to the farmer's house, and placed under guard. The constable was sent for, and he brought the men to town. It took the combined efforts of the faculty and the fraternity to get the men released. All announcements for this colla- tion will be shared the next news editor before 11:00. ANNOUNCEMENTS The official University Directory will this year contain a list of all student organizations, with names of officers. This will include all class organizations, and important committees, associations, societies, clubs, publications, honor fraternities, fraternities, and sororites, etc. In order that this information may be quickly compiled (The Directory is now going to press) the secretary of every such organization is requested to write on a card the official name of its officers for the year 1912-13. Drop this card into any University mail box or leave at room 105 Praser. Woman's Athletic Association—Meeting of W. A.

The large quantities of falling leaves from the trees around the campus are causing the custodians a great deal of extra work. It is a common occurrence at the present time to see several brawny caretakers armed with rakes gathering up the dead leaves preparatory to burning them in the future. As a suggestion to save this great waste, it might be a good plan to procure all this debris and store it on the athletic field in anticipation of our next victory on the gridiron. It makes an excellent starter for burning dry goods boxes. How about it?—Daily Nebraskan. Shorty Shaffer the Wizzard Barber can be found at Bob. Stewart's barber shop, 838 Mass. St.—Adv.
