The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UCLA to go further than merely printing the text of the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to give joy to the students of the University.

CORDS AND CORDS!
On next Friday, October 20, the journalists will "spring" their "cords."
This means that the students in the department of journalism "in order that they may be distinguished from the ordinary garden variety of students" will start wearing corduroy trousers. This custom was begun last year in view of the fact that engineers and laws had adopted certain modes of dress.
The "corbs" are not the most hand-seemly designed trousers on the market, nor the latest cut, but the worth of a man can not be belittled by mere outside appearances.
THE OTHER FELLOW
Speaking of that lonesome, home sick feeling, how the motorman on Lawrence street-car must suffer!
Did you ever, after the rush of a busy day, settle down at last to writing that dreaded theme? Your pen and paper are before you; your mind feels fresh and vigorous. Thoughts flow thick and fast, and you swell with pride at the results.
Suddenly from across the street come the strains of a familiar tune. You begin to hum along, and soon you are completely lost in the reveries of that last dance. You come with a start. Your poor theme has been sadly neglected. No sooner have you forced your mental capacities to working again, when a crowd of people in the next room start to talk and laugh. You mutter a few remarks under your breath, and keep on writing in a dazed, haphazard sort of fashion.
A few minutes of silent bliss, and a crowd of boys pass by yelling as loud as their vocal cords will permit; "Rally! Rally! Whoopee!" Your brain is in a whirl. Your theme is a jumbled mess. Well, the ending of your theme simply must be good; perhaps that will make up for the rest.
The bell rings. Someone calls,
"Wanted at the phone." You push
your books aside, thrust your theme
into the desk and rush downstairs.
It's no use, and you did try after all. Let's think of "the other fellow" once in a while.
OUR VISITORS
Fathers' and mothers' week at the University is being planned by the Board of Administration.
For a number of years the University of Kansas has provided for a merchants' week, an editors' week, and other meetings of state organizations but the latest step is the establishment of a new custom by giving one week to the entertainment of the fathers and mothers of the students.
The editors, the merchants, and the other organizations come here for instruction. This instruction is small compared with that which will be
given the fathers and mothers. For here they will see what John does in a day's work, meet his professors, sit him in class, meet his college chum, and watch him in his regular form. They will meet the chancellor, the adviser of women, the secretary of th Y. M. C. A., the coaches of the athletic teams.
They will know what their sons and daughters are doing with the checks sent to them. They will see that the life of a K. U. student is not all dance and song. When they go home they will realize that the University is a good place after all.
A host of friends for the University will be made in that week, and the students will have an important part in the completion of the plans so well started by the Board of Administration.
Let's help with the plans for that week.
THE FACULTY SPIRIT
The enthusiasm that calls men out of classes and goes howling down the streets at midnight is not, in the Faculty's expression, real college spirit. It is but uncontrolled emotion expressed only during the football season. Spirit should be expressed by participation in every University activity.
There is soon to be a Halloween party, to which every member of the faculty is invited. By coming out and entering into the evening's entertainment, this faculty can demonstrate its ideal of the true College spirit.
The University is offering a course in High German. It is being held on the top of Fraser Hall.
The meanest student has just been found. He's the one who has the nerve to bum a dollar from a hard working barber, then invest the said capital in a safety razor.
ENERGY
Energy is at the basis of all human activity. When a man's energy is gone he is ready for the human junk heap.
The best way to preserve this essential of life is to avoid deep breathing, and all forms of active exercise; go about with slumped shoulders, and be careful about taking the nose from between the covers of a book. Oh, yes!

AS IT MIGHT BE
Dear Mother:
A crowd of girls went down to the show last night and then came back to Kate's room. We had a lovely party with them and a date at dates or other girls. Mahree.
The newly installed escalator on the Fourteenth Street hill was put in operation for the first time this month, when eight thousand students had made use of this labor saving device by 10:15 this morning. The old tunnel leading from the College Book Store to the cooler under Fraser was almost deserted.
--dy voice is the cannon's roar;
I shriek in the bursting shell;
juggle the raper,
And breath the blast of Hell.
hearken, ye hends of blood,
Through the thunder-riven sky
I will sing my song of War,
For the God of War am I.
SONG OF THE GOD OF WAR
Though I'm old and grimed with years.
Ha, ha, I'm yet in my prime;
Once man felled man with a club;
His methods improve with time.
glout o'er the millions strewn
On the desaleced fields and wild;
I meer at the young wife's grief,
I meer at the tear-faced child.

Tennis must certainly be a fascinating game if its players cannot even desist while our football games are progress on Saturday afterternoons.
Crowds passing by the tennis courts on their way to McCook field lose some of their football enthusiasm at the beginning of the game among the crowd was heard to remark on the day of the last football game: "Here I've laid off from work this afternoon to attend this football game." Many players interested enough to quit playing tennis. Maybe I place too much importance on these games." This is the same general effect that it has on the national team. "Maybe football isn't so important here."
Playing tennis destroys enthusiasm just as much as "dates." When we stop to consider that the tennis courts are open every morning and afternoon during the week it doesn't seem important and be expecting too much to ask the players to court a couple of hours and attend the football games. "Football."
"THE SPIRIT THAT GIVETH LIFE"
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
Did you ever study hard for three hours a day, during a whole month, and then flunk two quizzes? Of course, I don't have some idea of how you would feel if you were in this predicament. Now that is just what has happened to a bunch of men here on the Hill, and most of us to keep them in good spirits.
We were outpointed by Illinois and by Ames, but we have no right to be the team for either score. The athletic ward is in the race he runs, and not in the prize, can never be defeated, for defeat is only for those who are willing to accept it. Our team played against the athletic ward, and that is all we ask of them.
"I think we'd better drop football," "That line leaks like a sieve," and "Why don't the coaches develop a backfield?" are just a few of the uncalled-for remarks that have been drifting around the Hill since last Saturday's affair. CUT IT OUT! There are too many knocks now; sors who would knock in a transition to Fray Knockers, a bunch of sors who would wink every man who "beefs" about the team, or something like that.
Some schools play to win, and only to win. Kansas does not. We should be proud to know that this barricade has worked. The score is not the measure of the game, and the quicker we realize this the better it will be for us and also for our team. What we want is MEN who can win. What we have in our team this fall.
These men are working hard for our University, every day. They are grinding out blood while the men who are learning to ride arctice smoke across pool tables, or saying, "Ain't she cute, Mabel," at a picture show. The people out over the state are listening for what we will have to say. Now let's have the men of harmony, and not the dull, discordant screech of wood and brass.
Dick Treweeke.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
NOW, STOP IT!
The Chancellor has requested that smoking of all kinds on the campus shall stop. He gives as his reason the impression which is invariably created in the minds of those who are opposed to smoking.
Smoking was checked when the Student Council held disciplinary powers. Public reprimands through the Student Council did not appeal to the average student.
Today cigarette smoking is more common on the campus than it has been for five years. Two students sat on the steps of Fraser Monday between classes, smoked, and watched the crowds pass.
What I'm wondering now is how much this kind of a return means to most of us, the leaving of the scenes of summer activity,—because nowhere else loaf all summer,—and the returning of another year's effort. The vaudeville comedian can always get a laugh out of an ignorant crowd by referring to a college course as "a four years' loaf", for neither he nor she will ever have a college course. If an ordinarily active student never opened a textbook, as things are constituted now, he would do almost anything but loaf: few outsiders realize the amount of effort and thought which a student puts into his "activities". Loaf? Not much—Ohio State Lantern.
Hram—Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! I skinned one of them city fellers that put up the lightning-rods on my house.
The courteous request of the chancellor has been ignored. Why not some drastic ruling with appropriate penalty? "Anti."
LOAFING
Too Literal
Mariana—Why don't you like him?

Slas- 're did? How did you do it?
Hiram—Why, when I made out a
name by my him, I just signed my
name without the amount.
I'll bet there will be somebody pretty
mad when he goes to cash it—Lippincott's.
Mabel—Yes, and he called it "Lines on Mabel's Face." —judge.
Brick—I've given up smoking Steve—In training?
Brick--Nope; Tubby, my room mate, quit.
Patient—Well, doctor, how much is this operation going to cost me?
Doctor. Oh, I'll give you cut rates.
