WEDNECDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1912
It is easier to catch a tiger than to ask a favor—From the Chinese.
BE A LIVE WIRE.
The Daily Kansan does not wish to be hypercritical, but it does seem that more students should get into the game of supporting University activities.
Take the cheering squad, the "Thundering Thousand," and look over the faces. How many of your friends do you see? Then go to another section and count the familiar faces. There are usually about as many in one place as in another, and doubtless there are students who remain at home.
It is an absolute certainty that not one-tenth of the young women of the institution were present at the football game Saturday, and half of those who did go passed the gateman by means of a guest ticket in the hands of some one else.
And the young women criticise the Daily Kansan for not giving them advice.
Here is real advice: Invest in an athletic ticket and show that your spirit is as strong as that of the men.
Remember further that the glee club, the mandolin club, and similar organizations have practically no means of existence except through the sale of these students' tickets.
11 you belong to K. U., support her.
To date, however, there are no bones of the bookworms and grinds that weigh 570 pounds, not even a head.
Coach Moss began secret practice yesterday. This means no football for the students unless they glory in the possession of a knot hole, real money, or a Students' Athletic Ticket. The last named is the surest.
THE PERENNIAL NIGHT-SHIRT.
Can it be that the students of the highest institution of learning in Kansas, the state of all states where progressive ideas are welcomed with open arms, are more conservative than the older generation? Is it possible that the commonwealth that was the first to abolish the public drinking cup and drive out the Demon Rum has brought up a new generation that still adheres tote mediaeval custom of wearing night-shirts?
Twould so appear, to judge from the universality of this article of dress, or rather undress, in last weeks' procession. 'Tis true that the modern pajama claimed a few supporters and even the festive bathrobe was not entirely without devotees but in spite of the encroachment of other modern habiliments the night-shirt still blooms in its pristine glory and profusion. Yes, lots of people speak of blooming night-shirts.
Gone are the copper-toed shoes of our ancestors, the chinchilla reefers of our boyhood have passed into oblivion and the old trunk into the attic, but the night-shirt, like Tennyson's brook, flows on forever. In spite of objection, it is stubbornly contended that night-shirts are flowing garments.
It may be that Kansas youths
have not entirely eliminated the bashful from their make-ups, in which case the whole mystery is easily explained. It takes extreme self-possession to ask a furnishing goods clerk for pajamas with the realization that it is less than an even bet that you are ponouncing it, or them, if you prefer, the right way. Few, indeed, are the articles that have struggled successfully against this handicap, as witness, for example, the pitiful fate of maynnaise.
Hail then, the night-shirt. Long may it wave and futter in the breez
Be it known that M. Lima, who is to address the students of the University October 15, is not a has-been.
PLAIN SPEAKING.
In a communication to the Daily Kansan yesterday the professors and instructors of the University were implored to speak loudly, plainly, and to get some life into their discourse. While in most cases, the faculty speaks so that the average student understands everything that is going on, there undoubtedly is some truth in the charge brought against it, or rather against its me ubers.
In no case does a student relish a red "F" for a mark in a course, but it actually embitters him when he feels that he has put his best work into it, and has failed merely because he did not get out of the class what he should have on account of the instructor's poor pronunciation, or indistinct speaking.
We wonder if the course in washing is a five hour course, or if it comes only on Monday.
DON'T ASK US
Why profs assign their longest lessons for Monday morning.
Why the P. C. is still keeping time.
Why the P is so hard to keep in hand?
What sophomore engineers would howl about if they didn't take Chem II.
How a certain German instructor escaped being paddled.
When they'll change the chairs in Fraser.
Who painted those numerals on the stand-pipe.
Which we prefer in the faculty, golf or canes.
Whether all the Laws once were Engineers.
Where the upperclassmen ke their paddles between seances.
Because, WE DON'T KNOW.
LIVE AND BE ALIVE.
What things will leave the pleasant memories sticking in your cranium; the hours of cramming for a calc. exam or preparing an economic report, or the work you did preparing for the Prom, or on the newspaper, in writing, or on the phone, to yourself house celebrating a victory? Don't all raise your hands. Everybody knows the answer.
You are offered a hundred means of showing your loyalty and your life. Why not take advantage of them? - Utah Chronicle.
Ask anybody who knows what the value of activities, of getting in the "mix," of doing things for the University and the Student Body, things that don't come on printed pages under bond covers, is in a college education. The wise ones spell it as it happens; they as your class room work, or maybe one-half as much, or one-eighth as much, but they will all give it a value. Surely, it has a value.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
A man came home from the sea-side, and brought some sea shells for him to use in his dress of wonder and delight; he counted and sorted them over and over again. What a wonderful place must the shell be before he could take him to the sea-shore. The boy picked up shell after shell, each seinem in one order to carry another once in order to carry another till growing vexed with himself and the shells, he threw all away, and those which his father had given him before.-German.

Chancellor Strong plotted two big huskies to the football field the other day. Let it be hoped that the old "lead the horse to water" adage will not prove applicable in this case.

THE PHILOSOPHER
STUDENT OPINION
COURTESY?
As a junior I note the College and a loyal Kansan, I wish to comment as follows on the St. Marys game Saturday as regards what I consider to be things worth taking up to make my university worthy of the state of Kansan;
The editor is not responsible for views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
When the band went to take their seats in the north bleachers there were those among the students, (and not all freshmen either) who refused to move over enough to let the band get a pace, although there was plenty of room had the fellows moved over as asked. No further comment is needed, it seems to me, on that point.
COURTESY?
Editor Daily Kansan:
What are we going to do about it
When a St. Marys man ran out to the sidelines and lay down so as to escape our backfield and perhaps get away with a forward pass, our bleachers resounded with cries of "Look out for that fellow" and the like, so that in several instances St. Marys lost opportunities to make gains largely through the misguided loyalty of our bleachers. Is that playing a clean game from the bleachers? Is that a square deal to the opposing team? Are we a bunch of cheap skates that can't give the other side a chance to win fairly? Seems to me that playing a clean game from the bleachers is a lot better way of showing your loyalty to the team and the University than going down town in the night shirt and calling others on the walk "pikers" for not joining in the parade. Yet that was what happened. Another thing reflects sadly upon the university hospitality—will it always be that the visiting team will have to slink off into the scanty shelter of a fence corner between halves, away from water or place to bandage up bruises prepare for the second half, while our own men have all the advantages of the shed, rubbing, etc.? St. Marys had the southwest fence corner between halves Saturday; where will other teams go at that rate when it gets cold? Does that treatment reflect a spirit of hospitality and friendly contest?
