SOME NATURAL HISTORY
This week the mighty Jayhawk will migrate northward to engage in mortal combat with the swift-flying Iowa Drake. The Jayhawk has long been known as one of the most formidable birds of prey inhabiting the central portion of the United States and in former years the more domestic fowl has suffered severally from loss of feathers and prestige.
Whether the Drake will duck and run or will put to flight our own doughty bird remains to be seen, but in either event the result will be interesting. It will be the first real test of the Jayhawk's prowess and will demonstrate whether he retains his fondness for husked corn and Bengal caudal appendages.
We watch his northward flight with interest but confident of one thing, at least. Whatever befalls the Jayhawk never shows the white feather.
In the first place he has no albino pinions and in the second place he would not place them on exhibition if he had. Such is the advantage of being a Jayhawk instead of jauniced maize or a jungle beast with vertabrae of saffron hue.
This season he is again in the field and bent on exterminating our favorite fowl. The old fellow is getting old, however, and so are his dogs of war. We are confident that he will miss fire at DesMoines.
In spite of this confidence we await expectantly the result of the ornithological combat.
Fall is always the open season for Jayhawks and a certain individual named B. Kansas is generally the first one to apply for a hunter's license. He has had varying success in the past but has returned from the great majority of his trips empty-handed.
When the Cub reporter has nothing else to offer, he can usually invent something on the innocent freshman "coat." But these stories are original to K. U., and are somewhat true.
The closing of the world's series yesterday will undoubtedly go a long ways toward again bringing a spirit of harmony into the various boarding clubs.
WALKS
The freshmen themes, which all the upperclassmen remember, and which some of the upperclassmen have written after leaving the ranks of the neophytes, usually treat the beduities of the campus.
Probably three themes out of five that treat this subject tell of the "winding cement walks which shimmer softly in the moonlight and glare so brightly in the sun." All of which go very well in freshmen themes.
But when the real use of the walks is considered, the practical student would be willing to make them broader and compel the freshmen to compare them with something else besides "rivulates of milk" (written from the top of Fraser), or "interwoven fairy highways."
A coating of Oread mud on a shine two hours old is not conducive to an amiable disposition, and yet this coating is acquired every time that there are mud and students on the hill at the same time.
The rest of the University is growing, but the walks remain as before. Just a trifle wider would help. Or if those in use at present are too beautiful to tamper with, why not another set alongside of them? That is, a walk for each direction.
Wonder if there will be any after chapel football rallies in Holiday University?
The K. U. coaches are a bunch of stars. Yet the Drake dopesters cannot see them or the team. They may get slipped up on.
SOCCER
Since all of us can not go to Des Moines with the football team let us turn out Saturday and go to the soccer game. This sport is a comparatively new one in this section of the county and in spite of the fact that we won the state championship last year the interest in it among the majority of the students has been practically nil.
The soccer team is deserving of your support and those who go to the game will witness an interesting exhibition of a splendid sport.
A group of freshmen were in a down town novelty store buying arm-bands, pennants, and so on. They looked hard at the red-and-blue K. U. streamers, faced about and looked over the various bright frat and Haskell pennants, and shifted uneasily on big, bashful Freshman No. 8's. Finally the leader spoke up: "Haven't you got 'em in some other colors?"
"Beefsteak is bad for football players," says a head line. This makes it pretty tough on the habitual meat eaters.
THE NEW SEAT SALE PLAN
Once more the Athletic Association has come forward with a brand new scheme for the distribution of tickets to athletic events. The latest plan has several excellent features It is thoroughly democratic. Every person has an equal opportunity to procure a good seat, depending of course upon the "luck" with which he is endowed. A score or so of students cannot gather up all the visible supply of seats and redistribute them according to their own taste and convenience. There will be no standing in line all night, waiting in shivering relays for the opening of the sale No favoritism will be shown in the apportionment of the tickets. The Goddess of Chance will have entire charge of the affair with several members of the faculty as her personal representatives.
But there still remains a considerable amount of so-called "red tape." In order to buy a ticket to the football game, the student must make three separate trips, once for the preliminary application, again to receive his identification slip, and lastly, to get his ticket. This proceeding will involve quite an amount of time, as well as a student is compelled to wait at all. With this "red tape" partly eliminated, or somewhat decreased, if possible, the plan is an excellent one, and should work well. —Daily Illini.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
If the doing of Right depends on the receiving of it; if our fellow-men in this world are not persons, but more people, we should return services—steam engines that will manufacture calico if we put in coals and water—then--doubtless, our fellow-men would water may also rationally cease. But if, on the other hand, our fellow-man is no steam engine, but a man, united with us, could work in mysterious, miscellaneous bonds, in an all-embracing love that encircles at once the soraph and the glow worm, that he would quite another basis than this very humble one of Quid Pro Quo.

HAVE ROOTERS HAD SQUAR
DEAL?
The editor is not responsible for views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
Editor Daily Kansan:
At registration time the students were told that athletic tickets for the season would cost five dollars. The University Treasurer assured the undersigned that the additional two dollars was to give admittance to the K. U.-Mo. game. With that understanding I bought a ticket. In years past the athletic ticket has been three dollars. Upon payment of two dollars one could get a reserved seat place in the bleachers for the K. U.-M. U. whether played in Lawrence or Columbia.
Coach Hamilton says that there will be some seats at the end of the stadium for holders of general admission tickets. But the seats in the "Thundering Thousand" section will be reserved, ($100 extra). Every loyal supporter of the team wants to see the game from the roots section. True, the Athletic Association literally keeps its contract when it doles out a few bum seats at the end of the field for holders of Student Enterprise tickets. But the fact remains that the majority of holders of season tickets have been deceived. When the students bought their tickets, most of them understood that the coupon for the K. U.-M. U. game carried with it the same privileges that the coupons for the other games did. Certainly nothing was hinted to the contrary until out five was deposited. Can such treatment as this develop a finer feeling of loyalty among the rooters for the team and K. U.? Signed. L.A. V.W.

"What is the hardest thing you encounter in your work professor?" asked the student in journalism, who was getting up an interview.
"Without doubt," replied the mathematics prof. "it is the head of the average freshman."
