FOOTBALL RALLIES.
It is with a feeling of surprise and regret that the Daily Kansan learns of the determination of the University Council to abolish football rallies after chapel. For many years they have been one of the chief agents in fostering school spirit and one of the most potent forces in unifying the University.
The football rally is the only opportunity the whole school has to get together for a common purpose and nothing can take its place in producing esprit de corps and loyalty to K. U. The building of Marvin Hall and the Administration Building have had an unfortunate tendency toward separating the different schools of the University into units with little in common and the abolishing of the football rally is another long step in the same direction.
It is true that the 10:15 and 11:15 classes suffer unduly from the loss of time, but this trouble is not irremediable. A division of the time before chapel between all the morning classes would at least equalize the loss.
If the council considered merely the effect of the rallies upon the amount of class work done without taking into consideration the more important question of a coherent university, their action is a wise one. But when we put the hour or so after chapel coming on but three or four Fridays during the season, against the inevitable loosening of common ties that will result from it, we must consider the step an ill-advised one.
It has been proved that Kansas gas meters never lie. Most consumers will agree that they never lie still.
"Five Hold Meeting," says a headline. Fives have been known to break up a meeting.
THE BAND
When the rooters are tiring out and the cheer leader is able to get but a faint response from them, there is still hope that they may come to life. Indeed they always have and there is reason to expect that they always will. Let the band start "Bools," or any of the favorites and see the change.
Where had been gloomy, and some times almost sullen silence, there is now a yelling and rampant enthusiasm which must needs continue until the band ceases playing.
The band seems to be a pretty good thing to have around on most occasions. Besides the part it plays in the roting, there are weekly concerts in the spring and the general prestige that a good band lends any institution.
The students support the band in a rather disinterested manner. Two cheers during a game, and these given more as a mere form than in earnest, and it is thereafter unmentioned.
Which seems unfair.
To show their appreciation of the University musicians work, why
doesn't some energetic young man start a petition to procure the band some new uniforms?
They deserve it and the Daily Kansas believes it can be done.
The high school pins, which blossomed like the rose during the first week of school, have continued the resemblance by taking to the bushes.
It would be well to remember that we were all freshmen once, some of us twice, but the encore was involuntary. Some people are the same way with measles.
THE WORLD'S SERIES
Did Teresau outpitch Wood? Who got the most hits? What was the total of stolen bases?
Questions are rife, but positive assertions and denials are rampant.
If you are a reader of the Daily Kansan,you are enabled to deny flatly and to assert stoutly.
Be alive, read the Daily Kansas and know as much as your neighbor
The new student directory will undoubtedly be indispensable to the chronic dater and the collector.
The K. N. G. boys are going to act as ushers at football games. Were it not that they are so wont to charge, they might have been put on the gate.
THINGS WE DON'T DO
Take sides on the question of Woman's Suffrage.
Believe the professors when they say the course is easy.
Think Kansas will fail to win the Missouri Valley championship this year.
Know all the freshmen's ideas concerning caps.
Give poor advice.
Know what become of the hands the Library Clock is supposed to have.
Read Plato for enjoyment
Know the oldest joke.
Believe in the abolition of football rallies.
Understand the mechanism of a fountain pen.
The most rabid paddlers should consider that at the end of the year the freshmen will be used to make sophomores. In fact, by that time, they will be used to most anything.
University investigators are going to find out why bad "kids" are bad. We believe that much time can be saved by merely asking their little playmates of the other sex.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
Everyone in purchasing a Season Ticket agrees that they will not allow any other person to use their ticket. A violation of this rule makes the ticket void. At the game yesterday afternoon several women students passed through the gate by means of tickets that were not their own. Such students must stay at Station. Anyone who is interested enough to attend the games should own a Season Ticket. It would be well to make a few examples at the game on Saturday if the practice is continued—Daily Palo Alto.
THEY ALSO CHEAT
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discipline; for exercise, to exercise and perhaps judge of particulars one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshallings of affairs, come best from those that are limited in their use, as in studies, is slight; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and they master craftsmanship. Crafty men condemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without observation. Read not to confront and contend; nor to believe and take for granted; but to weigh and consider.
STUDIES.

fidence makes man and writing

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
FROM ZAPOLYA, Act II.
A sunny shaft did I behold,
From sky to earth it slanted;
And poised therein a bird so bold-
Sweet bird, thou wert enchanted!
Within that shaft of murmite; mast
of gold, all of amethyst!
All else of amethyst!
He sung, he rose, he twinkled, he
He sung, he rose, he twinkled, he
And thus he sang: Adieu! adieu!
Love's dreams prove seldom true.
The blossoms they make no delay;
The sparkling de-wrops will not
And thus he sang: Adieu! adieu!
woulder true
stay.

VARIEGATED
Faculty members are called "profos" among other things, some of which are printable. Students are not. Faculty members usually even show openers.
Most of the faculty can be worked much after the manner of creamery butter, but others retaliate by working the students-hard. Their compensation for this is the consequent shrinkage of their classes.
The faculty consists of deans, professors, assistant professors and instructors, ranging according to the number of hours they teach. The instructor wears his hair on his head instead of his face. The opposite is true of the professor. There are styles between.
Yet faculties are indespensable, for Topeka is the fate of those who have lost theirs. Faculties are of two kinds, mental and college, but the latter are unwilling to allow the distinction.
OFFSIDE KICKS By the Cheerful Grouch
The faculty is a Keeley Cure for the thirst for knowledge. It is the one drabwack in an otherwise ideal existence.
Its recreations are faculty meetings, golf, wearing spectacles and other forms of light exercise. Some classes require a meeting to the list—but not all.
THE FACULTY
Some faculty members have as many degrees as the Masons or the thermometer. Unlike the latter, the degree of interest is in indirect ratio to the number.
The faculty is ordinarily used to decorate the chapel platform, although palms are substituted on special occasions.
Some day there will be a student body that loves all its faculty, but not in this life.
