The Daily Kansan aims to please students at the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text on paper, she has the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be sociable; to be agressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to provide a good education to the students of the University.
"KANSANS—CLEAN ROOTERS"
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1916.
It is success that colors all in life
that admire, adorned, makes
villain great—Theothus.
THE clean and sportsmanlike rooting of the University students in the first game of the season is worthy of the highest commendation. It indicates that the students appreciate sport for the sake of the game and are not completely blinded by the god, "Victory."
The' good sport never kicks a worthy opponent when he is down. Neither does he exult at the injury of an opponent. Such actions are characteristic of cads, never of gentlemen. Kansas needs pep, enthiasm, and determined support of the team; but she does not need the spurious support that vents itself in riotous exultation when the enemy is penalized, or has one of their players injured.
Kansas has the reputation of having the cleanest rooters in the Missouri Valley. A few cheers for injured opponents, and a little silence at the proper times will keep that reputation unnarrished.
And Saturday he led the Thundering Two Thousand 'n in a"Rock Chalk that must have jarred the cigar in the mouth of the esteemed editor of the Starbeams.
"Young Mr. Gedhrey of the University of Kansas gets his name in the Daily Kansan by virtue of being cheer-leader for the impending football season."—K. C. Star.
BEAUTIFY OUR CAMPUS
A year ago today the campus committee of the Men's Student Council gave out their plans for the improvements this year in beautifying the campus. Shrubs and trees were to be planted, trash cans placed here and there over the grounds, and a petition made to the Lawrence Street Railway to build a shelter house in front of the Gymnasium.
"The students will have an opportunity to demonstrate whether they would like an improved campus," stated the chairman of the committee.
Today, we have no more trees or shrubs than we had last year. The campus is no more beautiful than it was this time last year. The trash cans are ignored and those waiting for the street car have no protection from flooding in the streets.
Isn't this the time to start work?
UNIVERSITY BIBLE STUDY
Are you one of those who are afraid to discuss Bible questions for fear of showing ignorance? If so, take advantage of the courses in Bible study now being offered on the Hill by expert instructors.
There are college graduates who can discourse freely and intelligently on questions of sociology or philosophy and quote Spenser or Locke beautifully, but who fail dismally when they attempt to argue Biblical questions or
quote the Scriptures. This is one reason why the student pastors have consented to conduct a Bible chair in Myers Hall, where five different courses will be taught on Thursday evenings from seven until eight. And Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education has high hopes that credit may be given for this work if enough interest is shown in the courses. He frequently receives letters, he says, asking for school teachers who can take an active part in church work as well as school work. Enroll in one of these courses; if you have not filled out this group now is your chance. It costs you nothing. And then you will feel right at home when discussions concerning the Good Book.
Caught in a rooming house on Ohio,
"You haven't anything on me; I sent
a pair of socks to a laundry here, and
did not get back anything but the
ruffle on the top."
OH, FOR THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET!
Most of the students have not done much longing for mother's cooking yet but there are mighty few of us who have not wished for a drink of water from the old well when we turn on the faucet to get a drink. The liquid that flows—er-beg pardon, oozes through the city water pipes this year is of varying density and comes in an assortment of colors from deep red to black.
SPEEDING
We can't "jay-walk" any more. No sir! We have to touch second when we cross the busy by-way of our town. We can't coast down these perfectly grand hills in the winter time unless there is a minute man at every crossing to see that nothing interferes like a jitney, an automobile, or some troublesome pedestrian. But, seriously, these are good laws, and should all be obeyed to the letter by everyone. Especially should the University students recognize their importance and keep within their limits. But there is a law that is not enforced. There is a flagrant abuse of a city ordinance by many owning or driving automobiles in Lawrence. Cars seem to be driven from the top of Indiana street with apparently no other intention than to ram anything and everything that gets in the way, and to cover a mile in nothing flat.
Luckily, there have been few serious accidents. But let us not wait too long. Just because we are in a university town there is no reason to forget "Safety-first".
AS IT MIGHT BE
Lawrence, Oct. 2: The big-bear of the H. C. of L. has vanished. Board, rooms, laundry, clothes, etc., are cheaper than ever before. The ants make a nest that matches that a student can make an allowance of fifteen dollars a month cover all necessary expenses, including his fall milionery, if he is his first European war is given as the cause of the great decrease in prices.
Topeka, Sept. 30: The morning papers comment with much approval on the clean and dignified campaign conducted by the students of the University for their class elections. The newspapers highly commended as an example of how educated men and women rise above the dirty work of politics.
The elections this year were conducted with perfect order and decorum. The sidewalks and campus were not littered with posters, cards, printed personal attacks on candidates as has formerly been the case.
All freshmen wore their caps Friday, and escaped the paddle brigade.
Lawrence, Oct. 2: The equality of the sexes has at last been established in the University. The W. S. G. A. has granted the first year women the right to wear green ribbons as the distinguishing mark of their inexperience during the open season on年earlings.
The total absence of "rag-time" this year indicates a remarkable appreciation of good music among the students of the University. Fraternal houses, rooming houses, and boarding clubs are vicing with each other in the interpretation of the old masters. The "Pretty Baby," "Waiting for the Manda Lloyd," "Who Went to School," and others of the same tribe are conspicuous by their absence.

A CRITICISM OF A CRITICISM
Editor of the Daily Kangaroo
Permit me to take issue with one statement in the sprightly communication of "Notaknock" in Monday's Daily Kansan. Drawing upon a proud knowledge of New York which, on internal evidence and by processes of observation from the safe heights of a rubber-neck wagon, he has the temerity to observe that the homicidal possibilities of Thirty-fourth street and Broadway are entirely negligible beside those of Forty-second and Broadway. Or, to quote his more famous statement, Or, to describe Broadway looks like a rainy Sunday in a cemetery compared with Forty-second and Broadway."
Notknowl should study the anatomy of his New York before trying to air his learning. Three surface car lines (Broadway, Sixth Avenue and Thirty-fourth Street) intersect these Broadway and Sixth Avenue lines run practically parallel for a distance of two blocks. The pillars of the Sixth Avenue El, who roars overhead, add greatly to the difficulty of keeping the traffic moving. I question whether there is a spot in all New York that presents such a spread of space as this. Compare with this the idyllic peace of Forty-second street and Broadway, with only two surface lines, no El posts to bump against, no infernal din overhead, and some elbow room. Broadway crosses the Seventh Avenue line a block further north. My thought was Square give plenty of room. Why your chances of getting killed there can't compare with those eight blocks further south?. Jaywalker.
HOW LINCOLN DID IT

HOW LINCOLN DID IT
"I will study and get ready and maybe be able to do these. These are the words that were once uttered by Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest figures in all history, before he rose to national prominence. Thoughtful, consideration of those words will bring out the faith and hope of a great and noble soul yet unveiled and with prestige and power. All that he had was pinned to what knowledge he gained by lying flat on the book with the dim light of the floor during his youth and in his small law office in Illinois later in life.
With almost certain defeat staring him in the face when he stands against Douglas, Lincoln overcame the obstacles simply because he was prepared to take a hard, disciplined hit his chance had come at this time. From then on he continued to rise. It would ensure a student success if he followed Lincoln's philosophy of studying and getting ready for the chance which will inevitably come if he is faced with the challenges prepared and unqualified to strive to higher goals and more noble attainments. There are always critical points at which the future of men are determined for better or worse. The best prospects for the coming years will depend on how well he is prepared for the occasion.
