The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the student, and often than ever printing the material on paper at the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to be courageous; to leave more problems to wiser heads; in all, to be intelligent; to identify the students of the University.

ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN
ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN's athletics. What! Do they have athletic games for women here at the University? Yes emphatically—yes!
The Women's Athletic Association has started work for the year and is planning on competitive basketball games, swimming meets and other athletic events. The plans for the year are not complete but the Association hopes to arrange inter-collegiate games of basketball, hockey, and other games. All competitors in such games must be members of the Association.
Are you a woman? Are you interested in athletics? If so, be sure to get your membership tickets at the gymnasium before Friday evening. The women of the University should show as much interest in athletics as do the men. Show that interest! Join the Women's Athletic Association!
A campaign for new members is being held today and tomorrow. Membership tickets, costing fifty cents, will admit members of the Association to all competitive events free of charge. This year a fee will be charged for swimming meets, basketball games and other games.
BACK TO OLD K. U.
"Home is the place where you are treated best and grumble most."
K. U. men now at the border are coming back! October 15 is the date advanced by Dr. J. A. Naismith for the return.
K. U. has the same opportunity, ahead of it—and there is no limit to the welcome it can extend.
A town in Minnesota with a population half as large as the attendance at the University of Kansas, gave its returning men a rousing welcome. More than 400 townsmen turned out, built a platform, contributed services and money, and prepared the biggest celebration the town had known in years. It was a welcome straight from the hearts of the people. And it meant much to the men who came back.
WHEN WILL IT FALL?
Is the state going to wait until the present University buildings have crumbled down before the legislature appropriates a fund for new buildings?
That is the question that many students are pondering over this fall after they have heard or read several lectures by Chancellor Frank Strong on the needs of the University. In his last one, the address before the general assembly of the faculty Saturday, Dr. Strong pointed out that several of the buildings, being used each day, are not only unfit for class work but are unsafe.
Perhaps it will take the catastrophe of a fallen building, with an almost
certain loss of life, to awaken the state to the needs of K. U. and when that comes the legislators may be aroused fowr their attitude of "cheap John policies," cease to gloat over the burning of the last bonds of indebtedness of the State and give the University the wherewithal to make K. U. among universities what Kansas is among states.
It does not take an architect or an engineer to see that North College is in an unsafe condition. An ordinary layman, by merely looking at the walls and foundation of the structure can realize that.
"But it has to be used. There is no place else to hold the classes as we are using all the available space from the basement to the fifth floor of Fraser." is the lament of the faculty.
Students, if you know the legislator from your county, send him a copy of Monday night's Kansan containing the Chancellor's address about the unsafe condition of the University buildings and general needs of K. U. Then write him a letter of explanation and put the proposition squerely up to him.
LIVE UP TO IT?
In a recent story of the evolution of his ambition, one college man said unreservedly that he now wanted to be at least half the man that his mother thinks he is.
This is exceedingly refreshing, for too often University students are apt to think that any reference to the folks at home, with affection and respect is considered childish and maudlin. It is no uncommon remark to hear from an upper classman, "Oh, he's writing to his mamma. When he's been here a year, he'll get over that." So in order to establish his own worldly character, too many sophisticated college men view these same folks at home in the light of a never failing bank account, or at more thoughtful intervals, refer to them as "Maw" and "my ole Dad."

REAL SPORT DOPE
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
REAL SPORT DOPE
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The sport writer who has been
writing "dope" on the football team
should go to a spice factory and get some "pep."
It is not a "foregone conclusion" that K. U. will lose to Illinois, Saturday; also the Normals did not play our team off its feet in every part of the game last Saturday. It is up to the rosters to see that we have a real sport writer, and not one who continually knocks the team. Is the freshman the only one who needs the paddle? "A Rooter."
OUR K. U. POETS
Fussin--'can't you help it?
Cussin--'do you? Why?
Mussin--'can't avoid it?
Buy that cap and try!
*Car-age*—or the *Age of Puppy Love*
The past night burned in the upstairs
floor.
The cock crowed long and loudly, but still the stade scratched his tire
And awere—now soft, now loudly.
All night he'd sat there in his chair.
If he went to the game with a girl.
Now he had asked to the opening
'or the Kansan said he'd be paddled sure
grew up. But now what to do
Sure made his heart sore laden.
He thought it over and over again
"I 's ppose," mused old Dad Gumm,
As, he viewed the Hill today.
He thought it over and over again
"Till his brain was all a—a-dlee-
A pretty blue-eyed maiden,
"She's a baby doll and a beauty, too; by gum! I'll risk the paddle!"
A football is in one respect
(I thought of this and grinned)
Exactly like a quiz book.
Because it's filled with wind.
I never saw a Sour Owl—
I never hope to see one.
I am,
As he viewed the Hill today.
There's so blame hard wisdom here
'Cause they ain't took none away'
Error, Error
I never want from man cap,
My derby I retain;
For I'm a Christian Scientist—
To me there is no pain.
He opened the thing,
And, what's more, by jing,
He was headed for Mars when last
seen.
S.
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anhow
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be IN one.
