Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas, Phones, Bell K. U. 25 and 66. The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, by teaching her more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University represents; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wiser head; in all, to serve to the students of the University. MONDAY, SEPT. 22. 1919. MUST THE R. O. T. C. GO? "I don't a K. U. man, but I hate like 'noll me. But I hate like 'noll me. Pull the R. O, T. C, out of here. And that's just what will happen unless about sixty more men enroll for the work before the end of this week." Captain J. D. Brown, of Purdue and Valparaiso, commanding officer of the R. O. T. C. engineer corps, made the above statement. Captain Brown does not intend to make the army his profession, so fear of losing his job had nothing to do with his words. Captain Brown made it because he himself is a college man, knows college men, and appreciates what is best for the welfare of colleges and college men. Captain Brown knows the War Department does not expect to send out another call for officers' training camps for many years, but at the same time desires to give the superior man-power of the country, such as is found in the colleges, an opportunity to get an idea of the theory of military science in order to train men to defend their country should another emergency arise. Freshmen and sophomores are especially good material for this training, since in four years a substantial groundwork can be laid for the development of the officer. The University of Kansas was among the leading schools of the west in the number of its members who served during the late war. Should another war break out, K. U. men would be excluded from the greatest opportunities for service and advancement should the R. O. T. C, leave here now. The advantages to the men are not inconsiderable either. A commission at the end of four years, uniforms $18 a month pay the last two years, and opportunity for specialization are some of the features offered. If Captain Brown's warning is unheeded the University and its students will be the losers by more than they realize now. GIVE 'EM SUPPORT The athletic muddle has been cleared up. A new director has been appointed, subject to the approval of the Board of Administration; men have been selected to fill all vacancies on the coaching staff, and everything is moving along like nicely oilied machinery. And there is plenty of material out to make a winning team. More letter men have reported than ever before in a single season—men who not only have made their letters on K.U. teams, but have won honors on championship teams in Europe. As far as players and coaches are concerned, this promises to be the most successful year in the history of University athletics. But it tages more than these to make a team than can win. It takes school spirit—enthusiasm and ardor that wold the men to the team and the team to the school, until every player feels the honor of the University is his to guard and uphold. But the whole load should not be shifted to the shoulders of the players. This is not alone the team's school. It is the school of every student enrolled here, and it should be as much the business of the man not in football as of the man who does the playing to see that the team is a winner. There are a number of ways the men not out for football may let the team know they are supporting it. One of the best ways is to go down to the field occasionally and watch the team practice. The players know the men on the sidelines are interested, and it is a little easier for them to do their best when they know they are not only the ones who have the good of the University at heart. So if you are interested in making this a successful season, Mr. K. U. Man and Miss K. U. Woman, you will be on the sidelines this afternoon, and once or twice your week hereafter, to see the team—your team-practice. And you will cheer them along by giving a Rock chick in a while, and the University will go through the season with a victorious team because you, as well as the players and the coaches, did your part. WHY FLUNK AGAIN? At the end of every semester you have been at the University you have sworn solennly that never again would you let work pile up on you until it was necessary to work night and day for a week before finals to keep from flunking the course. You meant all right each time you made such resolutions, but at the beginning of the next semester—oh, well, you just let things drift along, and the first you knew you were so far behind you never could catch up, and the same old thing happened again. You are smart, and learn things easily, but it is just natural for you to put off studying while you take a nap, or go down town for a coke, or attend the dance, and that has been the reason you have drawn poor grades in the past. You are starting a new semester now. This is the first week you have had assignments, and the same question is up for decision again. You haven't given it very much thought until you read in the Kausan the other day that ninety hours of A's, B's and C's were required for graduation. It dawned upon you then that it might be well to look up your grades and find how you stand. You hope you haven't your full quota of D's yet, but if you have—well, it will help you to start that program you've always intended to start of getting each day's lessons the day for which they are assigned. THE ATHLETES OF '23 More than sixty athletes turned out for freshman football on the first call and more would have been out had there been a sufficient amount of material with which to equip them. A large turnout from the new men shows that our class of '23 is starting into K. U. with the right spirit and will change the conditions which existed here last year to one of no small regard for the Crimson and the Blue. Fresh athletes have many trials but success on a freshman team means a better chance at a position on the coveted Varsity. Many of the first year men will come out for a few nights and drop out of sight for the rest of the year and allow their athletic career to end. A first year man may not make even the freshman eleven but with four years ahead of him and proper training, a place on the Varsity is within reach of all with any amount of athletic ability. Several "K" men on recent teams did not make the team until their senior year. A football player can be made in a few years training under competent coaches and at the same time they are helping their school by working against the first team. Lois-I thought you had become tired of dancing. 'Dorothy—I had. But I've been reading the clergyman have to say about it and I had no idea how delightfully wicked it was—Judge. Eve was sure out of luck when she became a widow. A strike is the only thing which can now be organized with ease and accomplish its purpose in a very short time. Hiding the baseball makes back yard ball more popular with the kidnies and also gives the neighbors who are there an archine a small amount of pleasure. The olibir of youth gives the desired effect if not taken in large campaigns for more on all of the issues, well as well be changed to Hell Columbia. After a woman or a man makes good on the Hill they often want to forget just how they "got there." Coin collectors stamp collectors, and curio seekers are in the same class with vamps, as most vamps are ring collectors. Even the cost of getting elected to an office on the Hill will go up with the increase in the size of the student body. COMMUNICATIONS To the Daily Kansan: Wednesday's Kansan had some fault to find with the criticism regarding prominent executions - indulged in by the Sour Owl. Such criticisms seem to me to be a strong attack on the magazine, for here is the one in which an annual Student Day, in which there can be any public criticism of faculty members from a responsible source. And who can say that some faculty members don't need the criticism handed out by the feathered visitor? If the style in which the criticism is disregarding to some faculty members is the same as the Owl is written by students and reflects the sentiment of the student body. The handing out of knocks, even though "stale and in bad taste", has been known to have the effect of clearing the atmosphere in the case of profs who were included in domineering, dense, or dignified. As to the hypothetical Biting Buzzard, to be issued by the "faculty member for the purpose of knocking the students, I am sure there would not be the panic on its appearance because it is a public figure. The Sour Owl does not confine itself to criticisms of professors but when its staff sees something worthy of a call-down among the students, they don't hesitate to hand it out. The Sour Owl will be just popular among the students as the Sour Owl has ever been. An Owl. The Old Timer “Don’t know,” answered the Young Cub, “but I imagine the laws will be out on the steps one of these mornings.” "Say," said the Old-Timer, lighting his pipe, "why don't the students of this University yell any more?" "I remember the old days in Fraser Chapel," he went on, "when from the time three students had assembled a noise started that soon got so upoarious you couldn't hear yourself yell, and lasted until the chancellor and faculty put in their appearance. The cheer-leader was in action from the chapel, inside the chapel, and if he didn't show up in time, they yelled for him. "Yes, both of them tried it," answered the other, "but I heard no mention of a hyperbolic parabola, though there were several engineers present. "I refer to the Quaker-meeting convoction they held at the gym the other morning," said the Old-timer who said he sounded that wasn't on the program. Even the Rock Chalk sounded like the yell it must have been when they first-hatched it out at North College," his kind of a yell?" asked the Cock. Creme Eleayo for sunburn and tan City Drug Store.—Adv. "The way the different schools yelled at each other raised the roof and pulled it back down again. Each outfit had a separate section, and kept whoooping 'er up at each other till the roof broke. And we then together on the Rock Chalk in a way that would make the seismograph in Blake Hall do the shimmy. It was that same Rock Chalk the old gang to France and back with them. Now it's up to the younger generation to play their part, so this to start. It's been known to help win football games as well as drives toward the Rhine." C. E. ORELUP, M.
