The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduates in Kansan, to go further than merely printing the text of their University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to learn to be more gustous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to ensure that they satisfy the students of the University.

YOUR LETTER HOME
Do you suppose your little brother at home got started off to school all right? Do you know whether the folks have gotten all the apples gathered in from the orchard? Do you suspect that pretty girl who lived across the street has eloped with her best fellow yet? Haven't you a hailerking to know whether Bobby has tied Grandmother's spectacles to the back of the arm chair again? Are you wondering how much Dad got for his hogs? Wouldn't you like to know whether the old cow who cut herself on the barbed wire last week is any better?
You cannot afford to let this go by.
Write that letter now!—no, not to the hired man, or your best girl, or that boy chum; but to—mother. She is full of anxiety about you now, especially if this is your first year away from home. Did you ever think about it? Don't neglect "the folks back home."
If so, write that letter home today. Your folks will be tickled to death to hear of the fun you had in that night-shirt parade, to find out how you yelled at the football game, and to know how proud you are of that freshman cap you are wearing.
"Very Like a Compass!"
"Chad wadd some power the grittergie gie us. To see ourself as itthers see us." Then they make things about the lines is that they always point to the other fellow.
COMPANY
Have you ever had the sensation of losing a desire for study quenched by the sudden entrance of some over-jubilant friends whom you haven't seen since the day before, and who have taken it upon themselves to come in for a nice, long, friendly visit? They have nothing to do. You have!
Your books are placed on the table in front of you. Your fountain pen is loaded for a long theme, a couple of editorials, the copying of notes—and maybe a letter home. You're behind in your work and are trying to catch up—when in comes this party of folks. You're glad to see them, and you mean it—but you didn't count on the long visit. You listen to them politely—with one eye on the clock. There isn't any point to their stories. You've heard them all before. You don't care about their past life or what they had for supper. You want to study!
The clock's going 'round'-it's getting late and you're sleepy. No--you can't go down town with them to get a cola coca. You'd like to but--there's your work-and you wave a deprecating hand in the direction of the study table.
Do they go? No they sit down and continue their discussion of last year's styles, the Iota Gota Bite dance, or on. If you'd only known it you
might as well have had the coca cola and the fresh air.
The next day you hand in a bunch of work that is way below grade. Something happens. You're sorry—but—
—are you one of the visitin' kind!
POET'S CORNER
THE BROKEN SOLDIER
The brooker's sings and whistles to darl.
He's but the remnant of a man
maimed and half-blind; but
Babel was a monster.
But the soul they could not harm goes singling like the lark.
But the soul they could not harm goes
Like the incarcerate Joy that will not
Like the incarnate Joy that will not be confined.
The Lady at the Hall has given him a knife. He works in the gardens as busy as he bee. One hatchet but a stump and his face a pitted mask; the soul goes singing like a bird set free. Whistling and singing like a linen on wings, the soul stops to listen, leanning on the spade; whole men come; they fret at the soul of his singing like a glade. Hither and thither hopping, like robin on the grass, the soul of the broken man is beautiful and while he weeds the pansies and the bright hours pass He cuts in cage whistles its joyous stair. Tyran
—Katharine Tynan.
The old North College Building is now used for a store room. Some of the graduate students can remember, perhaps, when North College was the home of the School of Fine Arts.
AS IT MIGHT BE
No cigarettes have been seen on the campus this year, nor has there been any smoking on the approaches to the buildings. The smoking rule laid down by the Student Council two years ago has been very effective.
Lawrence city water as analyzed by the state chemists shows only one-tenth of one per cent of foreign substance. The clear, steady stream which now flows from the faucet is a welcome change from the concentrated slime which used to ooze from the pipes.
Topeka, Oct. 5: Chapel exercises have been discontinued at the University of Kansas because of insufficient room to accommodate the crowds of students who attended. As several hundred were being turned in for day of the authorities in charge of the exercise, they suspend the meetings until the completion of the big auditorium in the new Administration Building.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 30: The war department has ranked the University of Kansas among the first ten of the universities of the country in respect to military training. The university was a few years ago substituted for the puerle gym course formerly in vogue there.

Maybe Germany can disregard a "Scrap of Paper" and get away with it, but these days no sane publisher can.
Maybe the seasoned troops of Company M will bring back some surplus "pep."

Reports indicate that those who enrolled in "Money and Credit" have no more than formerly.
Reports from the border insist it should be spelled Sand Antonio.
One student who comes to K. U. from another university says that he never realized the true significance of the phrase "Higher Education" until he started climbing Fourteenth street.
Cruel and unanimal sham inflicted by a headline writer: "Hear Dry Can't Be Me"
You're-Stick to it, kid; by the time you’re a sophomore you’ll be

No, Pauline, that headline, "Finals come Saturday" merely referred to a tennis tournament.
Honest?

CAMPUS OPINION
THE W. A. A.
Women's athletic sports are most profitable to the women of a college or university when they are managed by an organization such as a Women's Association. Through such an organization opportunities can be afforded to every woman in the school to secure the recreation and exercise in women's sports and games as best suit her needs.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The aim of women in athletics need not be phenomenal physical strength! and skill. Through participating in the sports of swimming, skating, basketball, hockey, basketball, and tennis, the college woman will find herself equipped with a strong physical constitution that will enable her to carry on her mental training more advanced if she took no part in such pastimes.
But the acquiring of physical fitness is not the only advantage to be gained by taking a strong and enthusiastic interest in a sport or a game. The exhilaration that pleasant exercise occasions is in itself desirable in the way of recreation. And there are finer values, too, which a young woman who takes no part or interest in exercises often misses; the spirit of enthusiasm, the goodwill, the spirit of enthusiasm, and the spirit of fair-dealing.
I have been asked my opinion the value of a Women's Athletic Association and because I believe that through such an organization athletics for women can be unified and mad practical for all the women students in the University, I can say that a woman has her own opportunity at college by becoming an enthusiastic member of this organization.
Sara Laird.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The editorial in Thursday's Kansan dealing with the Women's Athletic Association deserves commendation. One of the objections constantly made, and justly so, against co-education is that so much time is spent in "fussing" that the institution is deprived of the assistance which is due it in many different ways from the "fussing" student.
The remarkable prowess of such stricty men's colleges as Dartmouth is said to be due to the fact that conditions and influences present at coeducational institutions do not exist there. The movement for a larger coeducational institution was out the ever-present "date" is a wise one. The whole question is, however, not a one-sided one. The women at a co-educational institution are also deprived by said "fussing" of many of the pleasures and incidents which form a part of the life at such stricty men's colleges as Vassar and Wellesley.
The best answer on the part of the women of this institution to the agitation now going on among the men is the development of organizations which tend to promote the interests of the women. The Women's Athletic Association is a commendable organization and serves support of every woman of the University and of the University authorities. J. N. Van der Vies.
