Published in, the afternoon, two
verses by William C. Kinsman on the
veracity of Edna Kenan from the press of
Abbey Street Press.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students there and then merely printing the news by standing for the deals that will be offered, favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to learn and to qualify the students of the University.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 2,1916.
Two Sir Positives can scarce meet without a skirmish.
ON TO ILLINOIS!
The first act is over. The first football game has been won, and the Kansas Normals were the victims. Now for Illinois!
Here is a team to test the strength of the Kansas team. We could not tell the metal of our men from the result of the game Saturday. Yes, it was a good game, full of thrills. Yet there were streaks of very poor and very brilliant playing by the dawhawkers. Will the team steady down and play a consistent game? The team has the proper fighting spirit, and that's half the game. The roosters were out their backing the team and that's the re
We have the team and we have the roots and we have the fighting spirit, so why can't we have a great season? Let's go on to Illinois, testing the strength of the Big Nine, on to Ames, go through the Aggies, the Sooners and Washburn—then end the season in two great celebrations of the supremacy of the Jayhawk over the Cornhusker and the Tiger.
The team will fight and the rooters will fight—so "Will We Win?"
CONGRATULATIONS, PEPMAKERS!
No, no, fair one, that headline,
"Profs. Beat Students," simply referred to a friendly tennis tournament. .
The best and largest night-shirt parade in the history of the University! Doesn't that sound good? Well, that is what it was Saturday night.
Our cheerleaders kept good order, and the students obeyed them. There was no rowdyism. There was no destruction of property. But there was PEP. With nearly a mile of white-clad cheering rooters doing the snake dance before thousands of on-lookers, there was plenty of that good old Kansas Spirit—the kind of stuff that keeps up the fighting spirit of the team.
Let's keep it up! Let's go through the year cheering on our team, and showing our appreciation of its fight for the honor of K. U.
A comparative count of the number of pajamas worn in the nightshirt parade Saturday ought to be an indication of whether Kansas falls for these new-fangled clothes.
FRESHMAN TRICKS
And still the question arises;—oh why is a freshman so often a dub? Not from any constitutional deficiency of his honest emerald soul, we say. And yet, he is at times a dub, a monstrosity, a queerling, a mark for the paddle-wielding proclivities of his fellows. He looks it; he acts it; he speaks it; he lives it; and, on the ply! he can't help it. He feels as though any poor boo of an upperclassman could get his Angora, or even sell him a
chapel ticket good for a seat next to the Chancellor himself.
Perhaps the first year man had not been told that while he was away from the rooming-house he received a telephone call from 62, and he found he'd called up the police station. Again, the freshman might have been asked to call 1318 and ask for Frank and was told that the Chancellor was out. Possibly, the bed slats gave away under him some night as he piled into bed. Then, after he had fixed the slats, he found that some one had placed cracker crumbs between the covers. He then tried to spend a restful night in sleep after he had brushed up the crumbs. Through his carelessness, he allowed someone to hide alarm clocks for every hour in the deepest corners of the room. Then again, he might have been caught upon the Hill without his small cap and sent through the double row of paddles. Or he has asked an upperclassman, "Where is the Student Council?"
To the freshman, these occasions seem embarrassing, but he must bear them. When he becomes an upper-classman, however, they are sweet memories of the past.
Oh, well, these things happen to all of us.
First boarder—That is a wonderful necktie that you have.
Second barber—Yes, it speaks for itself. —(Apologies to Chaparral.)
"WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE BUT-"
Who says student sentiment isn't a stable commodity at K. U.? In 1914 the following bit appeared in the Kansas: "A boarding house keeper who serves unboiled or sterilized water is guilty of a criminal negligence."
Now who can say that opinion has changed? We modestly admit that the water has not.
PERIODS OF STUDENT LIFE
Life at the University of Kansas is just one series of periods, each characterized by one predominant activity.
Enrollment and rushing dominates the first period, one of unusual activity. This gives way to an epoch of politics, a fortnight of caucuses, candidates, wirepulling and handshaking. Election day closes this phase of student activity.
But the very next day the first football game is played, and the football season is on. Student opinion is almost unanimous in hailing this the grandest period of them all.
And so, throughout the year, there is just one thing after another, to divert the attention of the student from the sordid subjects in which he is enrolled.
TWICE TOLD—BUT WORTH IT
A SUMMER EPISODE
"Now, Dorothy," said the teacher to her, "can you tell me what a pantheon is?"
(You simply never can tell)
You said you would swim
(Then you played golf with Jim.
You promised me tennis
(Then they invited Dennis)
You said, "Yes I'll dance!"
(I distrusted your glance).
So I said, "Well elope"
(And ye, we sure sure done.)
"Yeth ma'm," liped Dorothy. "A manther is a man that马本th panth."

Mrs. Noovo-Reesh—Well, you know I thought they were a trifle gaudy milk.
"I'll have to collect my Bill," said the Irishman, as he went out to the place where his goat had been shat-town train—a bartain Jack O' Lantern.
Her companion—Indeed, and what do you think of its acoustic properties?
Johnny—Well, Mother, Shakespeare uses it.
Mother—Johnny, stop using such dreadful language.
Mrs. Noovo-Resh—We went to the arena at new theatre that's just better.

THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES
THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES
needs little house in a little street
A little house
And, Q. when in weary of all the
world
of sorrow and care,
And the darkness lies before;
The ghosts are calling.
In the little street, in the long ago,
We dreamed of the days that have no
name.
It is sure that I can would be:
or the world is full of sorrow and
And the little house is full of the
That worn burs, but are no more
Of the years that shall never be.
Was dreamed of the days that have had
no dawn
Of those that shall survive
But he were young, and I was young,
And knew better, and better than life has
And knew better.
Were the dreams that came to us there.
And so when I'm weary of all the world
Of its sordid hopes and its pain,
the house that was
ourg,
or it is theirs.
And sigh to be there again.
Twere Heaven enough if we found our dreams.

And dreamed them again, maybe.

A CRITICISM
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
On the editorial page of a recent Kansas anaped an article under the head, "Just Watch Our Smoke," evidently written by someone who had been living in New York or New York, but depended for his information on the famous works of Horatio Alger, for if he had he would be more familiar with the traffic reg-
Cutting diagonally across. Fifth Avenue, New York, is not allowed; and, furthermore, you take your life in your own hands in crossing at all. Also, Thirty-fourth and Broadway looks like a rainy Sunday in a cemetery compared with FORTY-second and Broadway.
Now finally, if there had not been so many jay walkers attending K. U. this fall, it would be unnecessary to any traffic at all.

PEP AT WASHBURN
Doc Kennedy, in a little talk to his warriors on the first eve of practice, struck a vibrant note when he said: "Above all, boys, talk football all the time. When you get up in the morning, when you go to break-in the car, down town, your family's football!" Publicity must be given Washburn's girdron standing this fall. The City of Topeka is interested in our football prowess and it is up to us to keep them interested. Our attitude will play a great part in the success of the team. Everyone who can should go out to the field once or twice a week and give the boys the once-over and acquaint himself with the progress the team is making. Get a good dose of football in your system. Learn all the latest football dope and then proceed to imitate a public speaking routine. You don't have to do are: First, talk football; second, talk football, and third, talk more football. —Washburn Review.
ABOUT HANDSHAKING
At this season when one has the pleasure of meeting many of their old friends and shaking them by the hand, the thought arises as it has arisen many times before: a man shows his character in his handshake. That subject has been discussed in this column before. Writers of other novels have said that he understood that man with the limpid, wet-rug handshake, is usually slow, inane and mentally uninteresting. The man who shakes your hand firmly and looks you in the eye as he does so, is enthusiastic, sincere, quick and bound to be worth knowing. Another generation of writers said it is a habit for men to handshake handshaking vigorously. If you can greet a friend at all, greet him in a red-blooded manner—University of Washington Daily.

The Officers of the Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western Railway Company
Have Just a Few Words to Say to
University of Kansas Students
Living in Kansas City
We have been working on a schedule of rates and planning for special transportation for you in case enough would consider a proposition whereby they could attend school in Lawrence and live at home with the folks.
This is Entirely up to You
We just want to let you know what we have done and then leave it to you as to the practicability of the scheme.
Your board and room in Lawrence cost you not less than $6.00 a week. Laundry comes at not less than $1.00. You go home to see the folks once a week costing you $1.44 if you take the cheapest method of travel—the interurban.Not allowing for other expenses in Lawrence, your actual outlay here is something over $8.50 a week.
Are There Fifty of You
who would like to be at home with the folks most of the afternoon and every evening? If there are, the interurban will make a special round trip price of $1.15, making the total outlay for transportation during the week, $5.75. You will have to take one meal in Lawrence, the week's expense for that item being $1.25. The total this way would be $7.00. You could have your laundry done at home with the family washing. You would save $1.50 a week— $50.00 during the entire year, which is no mean little sum—and be with your parents every night.
We are not trying to convince you that this is the thing to do, but merely laying the proposition before you. If you are interested, talk it over with the folks at home or write to them; a few of you get together and have a conference with the Lawrence agent. You will find him ready and willing to assist you in every way possible.
In order that you may reach Lawrence in time for your first class, we will run a special out of Kansas City every morning at any time the majority of you specify, and you can return home in the afternoon whenever you please.
In offering this matter for your consideration we have in mind your convenience, pleasure and economy. If five or six of you are of the opinion that the rest of the students living in Kansas City would like to consider the matter in body, call on Mr. M.J.Griffin, our local agent and arrangements will be made for a meeting of all students living in Kansas City—both Missouri and Kansas.
If you are interested, take the initial step and let's get this thing going. It is for the benefit of both.
Sincerely yours,
Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western Railway Co.
P. S. If, perchance, there are one hundred University students living in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, who become interested in this proposition, the round trip fare will be further reduced to $1.00.
