The Dally Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and playing favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be amorous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to learn about the students of the University.

A MAN'S RELIGION
KANSAS PROSPECTS
The Aggies invaded the Kansas camp Saturday with the strongest football team that has been produced at Manhattan in years and battled through a scoreless game with the Jayhawkers, which was characterized by clean playing by both teams.
While the Kansas followers were confident of victory until the time the final whistle sounded they were not disappointed when the game was over. They were sorry, of course, that Kansas had not won the game but they could not feel disappointed after seeing the "fight" and spirit of the Kansas team.
The Aggies were worthy opponents, and even a tie game with them is a thing that should make Kansas prospects rise.
NOT TRUE SPIRIT
Kansas still has three big games to play, Oklahoma, Nebraska—and finally Missouri, the members of the team are in good shape, staleness and overconfidence are unknown and Coach Beau Olcott is smiling.
Nothing is to be more desired at any university than an abundance of college spirit but it is to be regretted when that spirit is of such a brand that it has to give vent to itself through the medium of spontaneous rallies, that break up classes and often result in a display of manners that are not becoming to men.
Friday morning's "naughty rally" was much tamer than some which have occurred on Mt. Oread in the past but when students enter buildings, break up classes and disregard the rights of professors it is a demonstration of a spirit that is unrepresentative of Kansans.
If the Kansas enthusiasm preceding a big game cannot be kept down until the time of the contest let the demonstration be confined to the campus grounds or reserved until the next afternoon when there is never such a thing as too much.
It creates too much feeling of a line of discrimination between the students and faculty when the professors have to use force to prevent students from breaking up their classes and it is the modern tendency of leading universities to break away from the idea that the faculty and the students are two opposing forces.
WELCOMING ALUMNI
It is not too early to commence writing to alumni friends and the "boys" back home—and the "girls" too, inviting them to make plans for spending Thanksgiving with you in Lawrence and witnessing the annual K. U.-M. U. gridiron tangle.
Make them feel that they will be welcome, assure them of a good time, promise them a place to stay, even if you have to sleep on the floor for a
couple of nights and the odds are two to one that you get a cheery answer right back, promising you to be here for the big "twisting match."
Many old grads, who have been out for several years hesitate about coming back to the "old stamping grounds" because they know their "gang" is all gone and that there will be nothing for them to do but to stand around in the attitude of uninterested spectators. Perhaps they will run onto an old classmate occasionally but when the game is over they go home with a feeling that they are not a part of K. U. any more.
Write someone and get him to Lawrence for the game. Tickets may be reserved now. Write the kind of a letter that will make the reader feel that he will be welcomed and shown a good time and after he gets here don't fail to make him realize his expectations.
A BIENNIAL BUSINESS
There was once a business man who never figured more than two years ahead in his business transactions and always acted upon the assumption that he might have to quit business at the end of that time. He never outlined any policies which, if allowed to extend for several years, would result in an increase in his business because he was afraid that he would not have money enough to carry out his plans.
And so he dragged along from year to year doing the best he could with such a shortsighted policy. His business did not grow and he became unprogressive. At last he was beaten in the race and sold out to his competitor, who had his business established on a definite policy of growth and dependent upon a permanent income.
No Kansas business man would conduct his business in such a manner and neither would any legislator who is canable enough to sit as a law maker for this state.
The state educational institutions are the biggest business propositions the state has and yet they exist on a biennial basis. Their executives can attempt no policies that cannot be carried out within two years for at the end of that time the income may be shut off.
This big business of educating the men and women of Kansas continues by spasms of two years duration each and the possibility of an unfriendly governor or legislature makes a policy for the steady growth of the institutions out of the question.
That is why K. U, and the other educational institutions of Kansas, with all their friends are boosting for the Permanent Income Bill, or Mill Tax. They dont want to have to "sell out" to their competitors on four sides of them.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
The article in The Kansas Wednesday evening under the caption of "Fussing Kills Serious Study" can not be applied as a general rule. If society kills study why wasn't the average of the women of the University more active? That average stands much higher than that of the men.
CAMPUS OPINION
SOCIETY NOT RESPONSIBLE
To The Kansan:
The average of the University women is 82.01 as contrasted to that of 61.27 for the men. The sorsity women engage in more society than women who are not a member of the former is 84.36 while the average for the latter is 79.66. These figures show that society is not responsible for the scholastic slump.
A UNIVERSITY POST OFFICE
Students coming to K. U. from other schools say they miss the benefi-
tory general post office in the
University.
K. U. needs a set of pigeon holes for the students and faculty. Then in case the faculty or students need to call meetings at any time they may need more than one pigeonholes and save the time and postage necessary to mail them through the federal post office. A small fee could be charged each semester, but the cost of the post office and work could be furnished to students as far as possible.
A UNIVERSITY POST OFFICE
THE TWO CLASSES
A Student.
However, we are glad to say, there are a few of them who are different from the general group—men who persistently retain that all-important attribute, open-mindedness.
A Reformer.
Where this system has been tried in other Universities it has been successfully factored and there is every reason for expecting that it would be successful at K. U.
"In almost every line of human endeavor the greatest opposition to progress comes from the experts in that line."
Experience has proved hundreds of times that as we increase our knowledge of a subject, our ideas tend to become more "set," and it is much more difficult to overthrow them and substitute new ones. As a rule, the common people are indifferent toward the deeper problems of life, because they do not understand them. The highly educated are interested, but their minds become closed to new and revolutionary ideas. The masses are of no aid to progress; but the experts not only do not help it, but actually oppose it. When a new idea appears, experts in that line become blinded with prejudice, and use all the force of their old views in opposing it; often, fortunately, in vain.
Just as the greatest opposition to progress comes from the biased experts, so the greatest incentive to progress comes from the open-minded ones; but one cannot help noting that
These words from Henry F. Gilbert, Cambridge, Mass., may sound harsh and exaggerated, but when we stop and think about them we find that they are true—absolutely true. There is not an iota of exaggeration in them. Their truth is so obvious that we must face them squarely, regardless of our prejudices toward intellectual accomplishments.
On the other hand, doesn't your face beam with joy and your heart leap with pride as you think of that professor who always took such a great interest in you; who always was ready to consider your thoughts and suggestions, instead of brushing them aside with a "Naw! nothing to that!" attitude; who was even so radical at times that he shocked your sense of justice, but always uphold his ideas by sound principles? Wrong? Sure he was; lots of times. His thoughts were even scoffed and hooted at by his contemporaries; but he showed himself to be free from that characteristic which is common to so many educators and which is one of the most damning agencies to human advancement—prijudice.
In every institution of learning we find two classes. Do you remember that professor who was always dull and uninteresting in his class; who was still teaching practically the same thing he did ten years before; who was so isolated from the contentment of truth-seeking that his life was like a green persimmon? Sure you do. The description fits lots of them.
Education has been lax somewhere. The college student has two choices. He may delve in psychology, and throw aside all writings on the so-called "psychologists' fallacy"; he may study the brotherly love of sociology, and utterly neglect a careful survey of its opposition in the individualism of philosophy; he may diligently scrutinize the works advocating certain of his "pet" ideas, and when criticisms appear he may pass them by and merely turn up his nose at them because he is so little he thinks they cannot possibly rest on a solid foundation. Yet this is exactly what the majority of students are doing.
On the other hand, some students may not feel contentment and peace of mind until they have studied both sides of a question; they may not be satisfied until they are able to criticize as well as to accept; they may cast aside the unsound principles, pick out the best, and generalize them still farther in their own minds. These students have the ability to form ideas of their own. Of course, some of their views may become so radical that all the criticisms of the entire educated world may be heaped upon them; but these students are the Plato's and Plotinus's, the Darwin's and Dewey's, of tomorrow.
