ATHLETIC TICKETS
The subject of athletic tickets, like the proverbial cat, is again in our midst, though in slightly different guise. An examination of the records shows that the men students of the University have nearly all bought their tickets but that the young women and the members of the faculty seem to be still clinging tenaciously to their five-dollar bills.
Evidently the young women have not yet given up hope that they will obtain the exclusive privileges of a certain guest ticket but the faculty has not even this excuse. The stag pledge of the "Thundering Thousand" should discourage some of the girls into investing, if only for the football season. But again, this argument will have no weight with our instructors.
Of course, it may be the purpose of the delinquents to pay full admission to all athletic contests in the most approved philanthropic manner. If so, Carnegie pensions will be in order and there will be an enormous reduction in the consumption of fudge. The athletic association will make no objections to the payment of seventeen dollars instead of five.
Leaving aside the economic questions involved there is nothing that shows loyalty to the school and its activities more clearly than the early purchase of a ticket and attendance at all of the contests held during the year.
There is the fact to consider, however, that we must be too hasty in our estimate of the faucity, but should await the result of this week's sale of tickets. The September salary warrants did not arrive from Topeka until Saturday afternoon.
The team needs the moral, as well as the "vocal-chorded" support of the student body and faculty and co-eds should be able to furnish this sort as well as the men.
Professor Carruth is going to tell the freshman how to spend their time. The average freshman will tell you he hasn't any.
The Daily Kansan is now waiting for the inevitable letter suggesting that the students of the University are reactionary because so many of them cling to the old fashioned night shirt.
BLEACHER MUCKERISM.
Persons sitting on the south bleachers at the football game Saturday, formed an unwilling audience to numerous cheap slang phrases and a galaxy of stable-hand wit from a crowd of St. Marys rooters and from responses in kind by local men Had there been a single humorous remark from the lips of the noisy ones, or a single stretch of silence for as long as three minutes there would be an excuse for the hearers keeping silent now.
From the beginning of the game to the end a herd of out-of-town roots hurled pointless remarks at the
spectators and the band in particular. They called it rooting.
A few members of the band retaliated in kind; let it be said, however, to the recit of the band boys, that at no time did their remarks fall into the vein of the "I got bunch" chunch.
Perhaps these parrot-like young men who only speak what they have heard from others' lips, and then only such combinations as "wipe off your lips," "pull down your vest," "oh, you kid," etc., perhaps these young men, being strangers, doubted whether the students of the University and the people of Lawrence had ever heard their kind before.
If they came here with that idea there is little more to be said on the subject, except that they were thorough in their portrayal of themselves as being whose one ambition is to master the coarse speeches that are somehow coined, and then to parade their knowledge before as many people as possible as often and as loud as possible.
In conclusion the Daily Kansan wishes to urge Kansas men to ignore such rooting when made on McCook by strangers, and never to lose their sense of dignity and descend to that level when rooting for the K. U. team on a foreign field.
The young men who tried to find Registrar Foster at Haskell Institute evidently had heard the stories about the Registrar being a good Indian.
WANTS MORE REPORTERS
WANTS MORE RECORTEES The Daily Kansan feels that more men and women ought to show up to do active reporting. Since becoming a daily the Kansan offers a broader field and a better chance to the inexperienced person.
Places on the editorial and reportorial staffs of the paper are earned by the amount and quality of work done, and any bona fide student is eligible to try for such a place.
With the co-operation of the students the Daily Kansan will become a bigger, better and brighter paper. Ehe editors ask this co-operation, believing that as a student publication, every man and woman in the University ought to be interested in it and show their interest by writing for it and tipping off news items that come into their notice.
Try out for a place on the staff.
It is noticed that a news story notes a "hair raising dip of death" as one of the attractions of the W. S. G. A. circus. It is hoped that this hair culture act will not be enough so to produce many bearded ladies.
ALAS, THAT SUCH SHOULD BEI
The work of the Freshman Advisory Committee does not always lead through naths of roses.
After a sympathetic and enthusiastic exposition of the many good things at Cornell, to be met by a business-like query from the attentive freshman,—"How much do I love you for your trouble?"—is discerting to say the least. And yet that is exactly the experience of one conscientious "adviser" the other night.
Such an attitude on the part of a member of the entering class is hardly to be wondered at when we take into account the life he has probably led for the past two weeks, ceasefulness pursued by all manner of bold, bad men who want to part him from his money. It's a not unnatural result of our pernicious mercenary bearing toward the green newcomer.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
Consider the freshman how he is hounded.—Cornell Daily Sun.
I hold that a man is only fit to teach as long as he is himself learning daily. If the mind once becomes stagnant, it can give no fresh draught to another mind; it is drunk off of a pond instead of from a spring.
TEACHING.
A schoolmasters' intercourse is with the young, the strong and the weak, with them unless in animal spirits he can sympathize with them, and show that his thoughtfulness is not connected with faintness and weakness—Arnold.
The Daily Kanan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers Contributions welcome.-The Editor.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
ON A GIRDLE.
That which her slender waist confined.
It was my heavens' extremest sphere, The pale which held that lovely deer. My joy, my grief, my hope, my love, Did all within this circle move.
Shall now my joyful temples bind;
No monarch but would give his
His arms might do what this has done.
THE PHILOSOPHER
A narrow compass! and yet there
Dwelt all that's good, and all that's
Commonly it is less dishonourable to abridge petty charges than to stoop to petty gettings. A man ought warily to begin charges, which once begun will continue; but in matters that return not, he may be more magnificent. - Bacon.
OFF-SIDE KICKS By the Cheerful Grouch
Give me what it this ribbon bound,
Take all the rest that you go round
around.
—Edmund Waller.
CHAPEL.
Some of the audience sit in chapel but most of the spectators view the proceedings from the halls and doorways and the fire escape in the rear
Chapel is what freshmen are sold tickets to by upperclassmen without money and conscience. They have money after the operation. Chapel is also an excuse for chapel dates, which otherwise would have played a role either Chapel occurs on each school day. It is attended on Friday.
No chapel is held during quiz week. This is to notify the Laws that the rest of the school is having it. Any senior or middle law can tell in a minute after going to chapel and finding the Chancellor absent that it is quiz week at the University.
PROFESSORS, MORE NOISE Editor Daily Kansan:
What's the matter with the students? Why do so many fail at College and at the University? At the end of the year, the student is told to take the work over, but he has worked conscientiously in it.
On Fridays there are many visitors in chapel from the western part of the state. They are wont to congregate in the northwest corner of the auditorium and give utterance to strange cries and sounds. The dialect was once translated into English by a Ph.D. D. who died from the effects and left an incomplete transcript of his work which began: Hyperbolic paraboloid, tangent to a hel—he got farther.
Tuesday chapel is used as a safety valve for various members of the faculty whose brain pressure is relieved by the escape of large quantities of pet theory. Freshmen suffer severely at first but become immunized in time. A short address is given on Friday by some distinguished speakers if there is time for it between yells.
Chapel has a fixed order of business. An experienced chapel dater can calculate to the inch how far it is possible to stroll through the last note of the Doxology comes through the windows.
The editor is not responsible for views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
One professor sort of mumbles on to himself. Another lectures but with no life in it, and a third naturally speaks low.
The faculty sits on the platform, when it comes. Dean Skilton is the only member who does not face the audience but the general ensemble is not disturbed. Nearsighted students think he wears whiskers.
How hard this is for the new scholar; why should the professors not make an effort to speak loud, plain and with clear enunciation. Put life into their work, thus the pupil will start into his college studies with life, with an interest.
STUDENT OPINION
The fault I find is this: The professors are fully one half to blame. Out of seven professors I can hear and understand what four of them say. And its' not that I don't listen, for I'm most always on the front seat listening intently.
"You are dismissed."

When You Buy Jewelry
The quality of the purchase is the first consideration. Poor cut glass-a poor watch or poor jewelry of any kind is an aggravation.
We don't carry that kind and our prices will compare favorably with what you pay for the inferior goods.
