THE UNIVERSITY Y. M. C. A.
THE UNIVERSITY Y. M. C. A.
Not the least of the important factors which foster the K. U. spirit is the University Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. and the men who give their time and efforts in its work take charge of the freshman upon his arrival in Lawrence and pilot him through the sometimes strenuous first days of his University life.
Another phase of its work is the employment bureau which finds lucrative positions for hundreds of self-supporting students every year. A thorough canvass of the city is made each summer in order to ascertain the probable employers. Therefore upon application to the bureau the student has recourse to all positions in the city open to work during mixed hours or otherwise.
It is hard to find a religious movement in the University which is not born in the Y. M. C. A. Besides this, many a lasting friendship has sprung up between students having their first meeting in Myers hall. One of the most important of the Y. M. C. A. activities is the weekly Thursday evening meetings, at which speakers from every walk of life address the students upon the practical, everyday problems of life. Men who have achieved success in business life, fame in public service, and enviable positions in the educational world are brought here for an informal, man-to-man talk to the undergraduate body
Every student should seriously consider joining the Y. M. C. A. It will be worth while.
"University politics begin with rush," says a headline. If the printer had spelled rush with a "g" in stead of an "n," he would have mad a truer head.
How many students enrolled from your county? Do you know? It's time you were finding out and laying plans for forming one of those militant organizations known as county clubs. Who will be the first to elect officers and adopt a war cry?
FRESHMAN CAPS.
Approaches now the day when the irrepressible neophyte don his caplet with the colored button. To those freshmen who procrastinate, there are a world of hard knocks coming. That upper classmen are unduly harsh; they are merely insistent in their demands that the distinctive headgear be worn.
The Student Council passed the ruling in the first place, and the object was to teach the freshmen the value of class spirit and organization. Meeting a becapted student, the other freshman immediately recognizes a brother; he knows that here is a pair of sympathetic ears. Of course the upper classmen are sympathetic, but the freshman rarely unburdens himself to those without his class.
The first year men are thus drawn closer together by means of the
small bebuttoned cap. A bond of real conradephis springs up, and when cap meets cap, always is there a smile passed.
Seeing the advantage the freshmen have over the upplclassmen in this matter, it seems strange that every class in the University does not adopt some distinguishing apparel.
Freshmen boys will appear in cap next Friday. Who is there to suggest that the young women adopt a uniform style of coiffure?
"Put first things first." Isn't there a large slice of human philosophy in that remark?
THINGS THEY NEVER TELL US No, this shaped shoe doesn't fit my foot, but it's stylish now.
I never spoke in public in my life, not even in high school.
I'm no judge of music of any sort.
Cut this class as often as you care
for my lectures are of no importance
for my lectures are or so I have
I don't think I could have made
the football team even if I had gone
out in my freshman year.
I have to study a great deal as it's difficult for me to learn.
I hate to get any new clothes, my shape is so hard to fit.
It seems to me that the newspapers are a power for good. They are run on the right principles too.
No, my eyes are all right. Nose glasses give me a more dignified appearance.
Don't excuse my dancing. You dance up here just like we do down home, and I never did better in my life.
The fact that fraternity men are referred to as "Greeks" does not mean that they are all "candy kids."
The "bumping" of the new girls chosen by the five national sororites Saturday probably was tame in comparison to what will happen when they are initiated.
GO OUT AND PLAY.
Every higher animal has a way of playing. The biologist recognizes this as a highly important phase in the life of the animal. Play results in skill in acts that are valuable to the animal in protecting itself. One kitten plays with another and thereby fits itself for the serious business of catching a mouse. Play is valuable to the kitten.
Play also gives change, rest and relaxation to the muscles. This increases vitality. In this respect, play is of great importance to man.
A hard worker should be a consistent player. Students who work in doors during the day should play outdoors during recreation hours. Every man should have a game for which he should set apart a time each day. That game may include football, basketball or anything else he may like. It may take several of them to fit in with the round of the seasons.
The point is, get outdoors and play something, even if it is nothing more than a game of marbles with the neighbor boy. More trips to the fields mean fewer to the hospital. Exercise does away with pills and paleness which can well be left out of every man's success equipment.—Uni versity Missouri.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
As Wilhelm, contrary to his usual habit, let his eye wander inquisitively over the room, the good old man said to him, "I'll give you cities your attention. You see here how long a thing may last; and one should make such observations, now I will tell you to so much in the world that rapidly changes and passes away. This same tea kettle served my father for many years, and evening family assemblages; this copper fire-screen still guards me from the fire, which these stout of tongues must use. We had it with all throughout. I had it in my power to bestow my care and industry on many other things, and I did not occupy them unnecessarily, a task which consumes so many people's time and resources. An affectionate attention to what we possess makes us feel more connected with necessaries, a task which consumes so many people's time and resources. An affectionate attention to what we possess makes us feel more connected with necessaries, a task which consumes so many people's time and resources. In us little men such little things are to be heard by Wilhelm Meister.

—Longfellow.
A bridegroom noticing deep wrinkles on the face of his bride, asked her how old she was, to which she relied. "About forty-five or six."
*calls or the summer night!
*the lover lovers keep*
Watch! while in slumbers light
She sleeps!

The bridegroom, however, was not satisfied, and determined to set a trap for her. Accordingly he said, "Oh by th by, I must just go and cover up the salt jar, or the rats will eat every scrap of it."
piled. "About your age is stated on the marriage contract," he rejoined, "as thirty-eight; but I am sure you are older than that, and you may as well tell me the truth."
"Well I never!" cried the bride, taken off her guard. "Here I've lived sixty-eight years, and I never before heard of rats eating salt." From the Chinese.
"I am really fifty-four," answered the bride.
HOW MONEY TALKS
It it is true that money talks
(I have no proof to offer you,
For I am one of humble walks
FOR an one-to-one
Who try to write this saw for you)
It's most short spoken and direct,
And rarely conversation seeks,
But talks the way we might expect—
In moneyysales it speaks.
-Kansas City Times.
DR. PRIMROSE IN PRISON
By Oliver Goldsmith.
"Excuse me," returned I, "these people; however fallen, are still men, and that is a good title to my affections. Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the giver's bosom; and though the instruction I communicate may not amend them, yet it will assuredly mend myself.
The next morning I communicated to my wife and children the scheme I had planned of reforming the prisoners, which they received with universal disprobation, alleging the impossibility and impropriety of it; adding that my endeavors would in no way contribute to their amendment, but might possibly disgrace my calling.
"If these wretches, my children were princes, there would be thousands ready to offer their ministry; but, in my opinion, the heart that is buried in a dungeon is as precious as that seated upon a throne. Yes, my treasures, if I can match them perhaps, perk up the gulp even one cloud, and that will be a great gain; for is there on earth a gem so precious as the human soul?"
Thus saying I left them, and descended to the common prison, where I found the prisoners very merry, expecting my arrival; and each prepared some goat-brie with the doctor. When I was going to the doctor turned my wig aswife, as if by accident, and then asked my pardon.
A second, who stood at some distance, had a knack of spitting through his teeth, which fell in showers on my book. A third would cry "Amen!" in such an affected tone as gave the rest great delight. A fourth had adlyly picked my pocket of my spectacles. But there was one whose trick gave more universal pleasure than all the rest; for, observing me, my books on which I had dismounted my books on the one he had dexterously displaced one of them, and put an obsece jest-book of his own in the place.
However, I took no notice of all that this mischievous group of little beings could do, but went on, perfectly sensible that what was ridiculous in my attempt would excite mirth only the first or second time, while what was serious would be permanent. My design succeeded; and
It was now that I applauded my perseverance and address at thus giving sensibility to wretches divested of every moral feeling, and now began to work of doing them temporally in services also, by rendering their situations somewhat more comfortable. Their time had hitherto been divided between famine and excess, tumultuous riot and bitter repriming.
in less than six days some were penil-
tent, and all were attentive.
Their only employment was quarrelling among each other, playing at cribbage, and cutting tobacco stoppers. From this last mode of idle industry I took the hint of setting such as choose to work at cutting pegs for tobaccoinists and shewhoppers, the proper wood being bought by a general subscriber and, when manufactured, paid by appointment; each earned something every day; a trifle, indeed, but sufficient to maintain him.
I did not stop here; but instituted fines for the punishment of immorality, and rewards for peculiar industry. Thus, in less than a fortnight, I had formed them into something social and humane, and had the pleasure of regarding myself as a legislator, who had brought men from their native feroceity into friendship and obedience.
THE PHILOSOPHER
The philosopher stations himself in the middle, and must draw down to him all that is higher, and up to him all that is lower; and only in this medium does he merit the title of wise.—Goethe.
STUDENT OPINION

WHY MEN ONLY?
WHY MEN ONLY?
There are no girls in K. U. At least, one would get that impression from the editorial page. And feminine interests occupy hardly one-twentieth of the remaining space. We admit that we are not making news very fast, but feel that at least some few inches might be devoted to giving us advice. Can it be that we do not need it? Why not have a wise old girl talk now and then?
One Of Them.
A FIGHTING 1000.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Edu托 O'Donnell A. Pointer who formerly attended the University of Kansas writes to a Jayhawk friend in part as follows: "If you would bone up a little on the kind of spirit that we have here at the Point, Kansas would make a much better showing in football than last year."
At West Point every man is enthusiastic over the football prospects for this fall. Why can't we have as healthy a spirit?
When Dolde gives the first call for
the Fighting Five Hundred, let's
make it a Fighting One Thousand.
WHY NOT?
Daily Kansan Editor:
Daily Kasha. I have just come here to school and want to suggest some improvements. Why not have elevators in these buildings, that require so much climbing to class rooms. I will vote for president of any party "Representative Junior Ticket" or "Square Deal" who will advocate elevators for the buildings. Also, a walk is needed on Adams street west of Ohio street. The present one is so full of holes, it makes climbing difficult. The brick need to be relaid or a good rough cement walk put in with iron foot-holds.
CARD OF THANKS.
Improvement.
If you will kindly permit me to use some space in your paper, I shall esteem it a favor. I should like to thank the "entrance committee," and all the professors who have been so kind to me.
When I left home I was told, "the world would not meet me with a brass band," but so far everyone has been kind to me. I do not think people realize, that I am a "first year" man.
THE CHEER LEADER
Satisfied.
The secret of successful rooting is found in the man who leads the cheer. Without him the crowd might just as well discard its megaphones and watch the game in silence. Hence great importance should be attached to the selection of the men who are to conduct Nebraska's rooting this year. The cheering section always contributes much to the success of the Varsity contest, and this year it has a duty ahead of it of more than usual proportions.—Daily Nebraskan.
