The University holds, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be a good team; to beacious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to get students to understand the students of the University. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1916. PROSPECTS ARE GOOD On the eve of the game with the fighting Sooners that the Jayhawkers have not defeated for six years prospects look bright for a Kansas victory. While the jinx found its way into the Jayhawker camp this week and a few of the men are crippled, optimism reigns in the inner circles. Confidence abounds in the student body that the Sooners are due for a tracing. The team still has the "old fight" that characterized the Aggie game last Saturday only of it. The Cinnomans pose their only chance for a victory on open play formations and the forward pass as they know that the Kansas line is not of the quality that can be easily penetrated. There is a big rally in the chapel tonight to give everyone an opportunity to show the team that the students are back of the football boys. Be there and do your part in winning tomorrow's game. Some kind brother has suggested that, if the University really wants a Permanent Income Bill, a series of All-University prayer-meetings should be instituted. A BIG SACRIFICE The Kansas troops made an enviable record on the border and among them Company M stood near the top. The University men proved that Kansas and more particularly the educated men of Kansas have a superb combination of brain and brawn. It has been a great experience for the men but it has been a dear one. Some of them are back in school but many are not. Their sacrifice was more than most of us realize so let's doff our hats to the men of Company M. The University guardsmen were given just the kind of a reception this morning that they deserved. In a small way the University tried to show the men who went to the border how proud it is of them and that it appreciated the sacrifices they made. What a wonderful thing is a college education! A girl who is at K. U. this year wrote home that she was learning the "rudiments of antiseptic dancing."-Hutchinson Gazette. And thus we seem to be known over the state-as a school of culture and a dancing academy. OUR SCHOLASTIC STANDING Are outside activities undermining the scholastic standing of the University of Kansas? That is the tendency indicated in an interview from Dean Olin Templin, published in the news columns. The dean undoubtedly hit upon a subject that is a vital problem to K. U. The average standing has been decreasing for the last several years, apparently in proportion to the increase of interest in outside activities. But by activities more than society alone is included. There are athletics, school politics, class organization. tions, and departmental clubs which all make pressing demands on the time of many students. The increase in the number of students, who are working their way through college, is another important factor as it is generally known that a student cannot do his best class work when he is putting in long hours at some outside occupation. Scholastic attainment is to be desired, of course, and our primary purpose in being here is to secure a liberal education along the line of work we intend to follow in life but at the same time scholarship should not be be only aim. A great opportunity is afforded every man and woman in college for making friends and learning something from experience about that thing known as human nature, which is such a factor in the world. This opportunity is to be found only in student activities and no amount of book knowledge alone will give it. So students, while striving to maintain a high scholarship standing, should cultivate the other opportunities awaiting them here. We long for the millenium when "K. U. assissity" will cease to be on the tongue of every citizen. CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION The freshmen have taken a unique way of informing the student body that there is such a class as the class of '20. It seems peculiar that no one thought of such an idea before. Classes in other years must have forgotten their high school stunts when they came to college for they have not used black paint. This sort of class spirit is a great thing. It will be up to the freshmen next year to do a similar stunt. Why not paint the north side of Fraser Hall with a big class numeral? Campus beautification—where art thou? THE SAD TRUTH 'Tis and, the story of Miss Co-ed Gay, Who came upon this bill one day, she saw a girl with her face in a lake. And she found things to her delight. These are not books, nor classes nor Profs. But things which will go with nice young Frosh. 'Tis sad but, oh, so very true The maid found things all grand and new To fill her days which should have been Cause for Weepage She now knows well what she knew too late. That wisdom and knowledge don't go with "dates." LEVITY WITH THE GRIND A Simple Request Murderer—"Is this the guy who is to defend me?" Judge- "Yes; he's your lawyer." Judge—Yes; he's your lawyer. Murderer—"If he should die could Murderer—“If he should die could I have another?” Sunday School Teacher: "And the father of the prodigal son fell on his neck, and wept. Now why did he even?" Judge—"Yes." Murderer."Can I see him alone for few minutes?" Boston Transcript. Economical STUNG?

Boots Steigely—"I asked Phyliss if The knights of old wore armor, Tish"—And believe me, she's some girl." Tommy Tufnutt: "Huh! I guess you'd weep, too, if you fell on your neck."—Life. THEY DON'T SPEAK NOW Tush—'Just the girl for you. Why don't you marry her?' -Awgwan. Tish—"Oh, very! She's got brains enough for two." Boots-"She said, "certainly. I'll see you a picture of it."-Lafayette you picture. The full may punt for fifty-odd, "The full may punt for fifty-odd." The quarter's the brain behind every gain Solly—"What did she say?"

CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be stigned as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent SUGGESTS CHANGE IN SONG To the Kansan: There is no Kansas State University. There is a University of Kansas as the school seal and constitution show. Yet in the official song of the University, "Crimson and the Blue," the abbreviation K. S. U. is used. Tradition has established "K. U." as interchangeable with and synonymous to University of Kansas. In the past, it was commonly called the school yell, the term "K. U." is correctly used. This University is known throughout the United States as "K. U." Our just famous yell been in great part responsible for this. Let us then cast aside the wrong and adopt the right abbreviation in our school song. Let us substitute "oid" for "crimes," and put the lines of Crimson and the Blue." "SPEAK NOW- "SPEAK NOW___." To The Kansan; Now that Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, and a "Joint Committee on Student Interests", have sent out letters to the different fraternities and clubs asking their opinions as to the number of dances any organization should give in a year, the least anyone can do is to send in an answer to the question. What kind of dances should decide on a maximum number of dances, no matter how reasonable, there would in all probability be a tendency on the part of the students to accuse the committee of taking too much liberty with social affairs and cutting down the number of dances. Inasmuch as the committee has tried to give the students a voice the committee should appreciate their appreciation by answering promptly. This method was thought to be the fairest and squaresst way of reaching a decision. POPULAR READING So "speak now or forever hold your peace." Impartial. The tendency of popular reading has for a generation been away from books toward current print, away from history, science and philosophy in favor of technology and entertainment. But the opportunity to turn from unwhole-some magazines to wholesome books was never so much at hand as now. It is a poor town or country place with a narrow, fine shelf of books. He who has not formed the book reading habit has later neglected it for current reading, will on turning to a good library be astonished to discover what a wealth of interesting books would be playing with the pebbles of current print.-Minneapolis Journal. TWO "LINES" This is what you can hear most every Sunday night about 10:30 (scene laid in front of any sorority house): "Say, guy, I certainly am going big with that girl! Why, it would be a prince or me to help off all her room!" Or, "I want to cry to the myself to one girl! I want to drive 'em all a chance." Moral- Go easy on the hate-me club stuff. "The big noise" is the fellow who says the least.-Indiana Daily Students. A little reproduction of what is taking place inside said sorority house. She (very much elated over the fact that the 10:30 bell has rescued her): "My soul, girls, I never heard such a monologue in all my four years' experience. I'll never hear you sing unless I 'their big dance or for dinner. His stuff wouldn't even get by in a Garrick Club play." NOTICE—If the young men who some weeks ago took the plants from the southwest corner of 11th and Ohio street, will return them immediately they will save themselves unpleasant publicity. 38-8* WANT ADS WANTED—Steward for mixed club.
