U. 9% Published in, the afternoon, five twenty-five minutes before the birth of Kalyan from the press of Kolkata. The Dally Kangan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students ther than merely printing the news by standing for the deals and presenting their favorite; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gregarious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to identify with the students of the University. OPENING CONCERT NUMBER WEDNESDAY, OCT. 11, 1916. The doors will soon be opened. Yes, tomorrow night the doors of the gymnasium will be opened to the students and others who are going to hear Martinelli, the great Italian tenor. Tomorrow night the best concert course in the history of the University starts with one of the finest singers who has ever been before the students of K. U. Never before have we had the opportunity of hearing such artists as are in this course—from the first fall number, Martinelli, to the great Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in the spring. The students of the University are taking interest in the course this year, but not as much as they should. Perhaps they do not realize the importance of music in their education. Perhaps they do not realize the importance of the stars who are in these eight concerts. ANOTHER GOOD RECIPE Do not miss the opening number to-morrow night—Martinelli, the great Italian tenor, in Robinson Gymnasium. The University cook made some broth one day. He first cut up some beef and put it on the gridiron, then he put in some brains to give it the proper flavor, spruced it with pepper, and boiled it for a long time, and when it was done he called it a football team. OUR CHEERLEADERS There are to be no dates at our football games. We have a right to be proud of this reform, and its results are bound to be gratifying. However, we have just begun,—there are other ways in which we can aid our cheerleaders in making our rooting the standard of the Missouri Valley—the model to be followed by all of its schools. Suggestions, coming from the grandstand and dictating what yellows we should be led in, are decidedly out of place. We have elected our cheerleader and have made a wise choice,—that, I believe to be the opinion of every man on the Hill. Now, it is our duty to subdue personal desires and follow the opinions of our leader, as to what we shall yell, and when. Cheerleaders are human and we must overlook their mistakes as much as possible. They fill a difficult position, and fill it well. They will appreciate constructive suggestions when made through the campus opinion of the Kansan, or in personal conversation,—so, if anyone has suggestions, let him choose one of these means of conveying it to the cheerleaders, instead of attempting to "ball them out" at the games. THE MILL TAX—WHAT IS IT? THE MILL TAX—WHAT IS IT? It's a peculiarity of man that he votes very consistently at the dictation of his pocketbook. Consequently it be hooves every student of the University, if he wishes to help push for the Mill Tax and an independent University, to become thoroughly familiar with the central working plan of that tax. The voters of the state of Kansas will not be convinced by any slip-shoot arguments from a crowd of school-boys. They want facts and reasons. To be simple—they must be educated to this important idea before they will take an aggressive stand for its adoption. The Mill Tax, if secured, must take the form of an amendment to the state constitution saying that the legislature may levy a permanent tax for the use and benefit of the state educational institutions, and apportion among and appropriate the same to the several institutions. This tax will continue in force until changed by statute, but contains nothing that will prevent any such further appropriation as the needs of the institutions shall at any time require. The institutions affected by this bill will be: the University, the State Agricultural College, and the several normal schools. As can easily be seen from the bill, such a tax must originate in the legislature before it can be laid before the people of the state Primarily, the Mill Tax will relieve the legislature of the task of making their biennial appropriations, will give the schools a steady and permanent income, will provide a flexible system of finance to meet the needs of changing conditions, and, above all, will prevent the mad scramble for appropriations which is now necessary. State institutions of learning must be divorced from the political hemings and hawings of the state-house legislators if they are to expand naturally with the growth of the state. The Mill Tax is the best solution now offered. Boast for it. A certain well-known cafe is suddenly becoming popular with the fair ex since it has been suggested that he football training table be installed here. RECIPE FOR A HEALTHFUL NIGHT Turn the grinder crank for a few quiet hours, open the windows, turn out the light. OUR K. U. POETS GREAT CAESAR! Caesar was a movie star; Led the Roman legions Past the busy camera man Into Gallic regions. Filmed them on their march through Gaul; As he put the Gauls to rout Chased them to the ocean. Wanted to perpetuate wanted to perpetuate For all time and nations For all time and nations His achievements in that His achievements in that war, And his aspirations. And his aspirations. But just then a fleeing Gaul Saw the operator. Smashed the camera with one blow— Gone a moment later. Thus was lost to us today Cooper's nine real feature And the children learn of him From a Latin teacher. "The boys all swear and smoke." "They spend their time in living up." Then write their dads, they're broke." 'They waste the State's cold money.' So all the papers say ULTRA BLUE RAYS "There ain't no work at Kansas." "It's住, a force, and raiz." So all the papers say "The life they lead is awful." There isn't no work as Khanna. "It's just a farce and play." Thought good times was the pro gram It's: "Read the whole blamed li brary." And studies weren't much. But good times, well there ain't none So I thought I'd have it easy- Take all the soap and such About this sinful, shameful, wicked life And; "Outline this and that." I'd like to be a K. U. Law Away up on the Hill And good times at K. U.-M. E. An' growl about your cussedness, When they've nothing else to do Until you are black and blue; An' growl about, your nakedness When they've nothing else to do When I go home I'll tell 'em With nothing in the world to do But An' then the fellows whale you Until you're black and blue; just sit There was an old maid from Duquesne who married a wealthy old swinee; still. They marched down the aisle In true wedding staile And the minister stepped on the tresne. CAMPUS OPINION Communication must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published. Editor or the Daily Kaiser! For a love of lakes like lee's new book, he is author and novel and that will last. The old schools have scabs of them and old ones at that. If we don't ever start them they never will grow. The night shirt parade is one of our best and shows the "pep". Everybody looks forward to it. Why not get a few more? Freshman-Sophomore contests are good. Anything that is oprical或amusing is good. HE WANTS TRADITIONS Editors: the Dolly Parsons RESCUED FROM SCRAP-BASKET Fellow Student; You are an ignorant judge of human welfare. (This does not apply to students who have secured tickets for the concert course, but it does refer to all others.) You are an intellectual sham. You come here to laugh if you find yourself in that important possession, artistic tenement. You are a lop-sided critic. You delve all day in the unearned increment, Kant's theory of knowledge, and the fourth dimension; and then you neglect that high and noble phase of life secured through the appreciation of art. So why are you hypocrite. You disguise yourself as an intellectual being; and yet you don't know a Bach fugue from a piece of pousy plaster. You have been indulging in these barbarous raptime tunes, and it is high time to recuperate from this pathological state. You must grace left in which to do it. The first number on the concert course is tomorrow night. MISTAKES THAT HELP Dear Artistic: We're with you— Editor. Can't appreciate this high-fangled music? Of course you can't. You haven't tried hard enough. The trait isn't inherited—not by a long shot. That's because you might just it's got to be learned. We'll bet our last spring's hat to a souvenir spinner from Lincoln's log cabin that, when the kids of the town were splashing around in the swimming pool, they'd been driven to practice by his "ma" just as you did. But do you suppose for a moment that he ever regretted it? A man or woman should not succumb to discouragement every time you get sick. The minor mis-step is often the means of discovering the quicksand which might have produced much more valuable material at some future less favorable time. There is great educational value in most errors. Experience, according to the old proverb, is entitled to a long string of pedagogical degrees. "The mistakes that make us men," says Dr. Lyman Abbott, "are better than the accuracies that keep us children." The man who never branches out into new fields never makes mistakes. But neither does he achieve triumphs. But neither does he achieve triumphs. But neither does he achieve triumphs. And toward better things necessarily stumbles now and then. But if he keeps on ahead, he reaches his goal. YES. WHAT? let the little slips look larger than they really are—honor State Lantern "Football is murderous" says A. L. Gepford, of Sheliwayville, IL. "Whenever man enters a game, he knows some game is murdered. The sport is murderous." He also denounced as sinful dancing, kissing, baseball, tennis, mock trials, church factions and acts of cruelty upon superiors and last but not least, horsehorses. In the big game of life, the little faults and virtues are quite apt to be overlooked. Yet, after all, do not these very things constitute the making of one's character? Too often a person who does business with his business honesty is unimpeachable, if he transgresses no law of the state and earns enough money to preserve his self respect. But the facts that he is nagging and disagreeable, that he smirches some other's good name by low jests and remarks, and that he is rude in row, conceived standards for others do not in any way seem to debark him from the title of honorable man, good church member or model citizen.

When you buy a shoe you have it fitted and you take it because it looks well and feels comfortable. But a careful selection of your corset is much more important. You must feel comfortable — and your corset must form a fashionable smooth base for your gown. Redfern Corsets are designed with infinite care for every type of figure, and naturally the best of fabrics, boning and other materials is used in their design. for they are high class corsets. But a Redfern is not an indulgence. It is a healthful safeguard. You will find it all you expect the best corset to be--comfortable, fashionable and serviceable. From Three Dollars Up Sold by Innes, Bullene & Hackman Hot Chocolate Ready for you at LAWRENCE'S Somehow, there's a difference between the hot chocolates here and elsewhere, just as there is between one of those old high-wheeled auto-buggies of years ago and the modern Pullman-like touring car.
