The Daily Kansan aims to picture the underground world in to go further than merely printing the students of the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be grousing; to be more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to be more enthusiastic; to be the students of the University.

LET'S HAVE NEW SONGS
Speech is silver, silence golden; who
speaks to thee, who leeps in silent tears -
Persian.
LET'S HAVE NEW SONGS With the great amount of talent that K. U. boasts of, it is a shame that we have as yet no original football song on the roots' repertoire.
We have had to "lift" a melody for our "Alma Mater" song, and the rest of our football tunes consist of one or two popular airs and a few devout church hymns.
It is time for some of our musical geniuses to get busy and compose something. This is all the feat requires: Write a song with a simple, pleasing melody which is devoid of any catchy synaptic rhythm and which has a narrow range. Do this, and you will have a song that will take with the students, and one which may remain immortal. Immortality is as essential for a college song as for a folk-song. If nothing but the melody were submitted, that would be sufficient. The harmonies will grow out of it later. Past experience has shown that it will not be hard to find words to fit the tune.
Probably the easiest and best way to get this thing started would be for the Student Council to appoint a committee whose duty it would be to receive these manuscripts, examine them, and pick out the most suitable one. Then it would devolve upon the cheerleader to see that the student body learned it.

THE MIDNIGHT OILER
Figuratively speaking, a midnight oiler is a student angel, probably considered so because of his paleness and meekness of conduct. Literally, he is a short sighted individual who spends time he ought to use in sleep, nodding over a stack of text books.
It is a psychological fact that time spent in an attempt to study, when the mind is over-fatigued is wasted. Thus the conscientious midnight oiler who thinks he is earning a row of plump "ones", is merely preparing himself for an ambulance ride.
Miss Fluff, "Say, little boy, people don't really swim in this dirty pond, do they?"
Little boy, "Naw, Miss, That ain't no swimmin' hole! That's the Lawrence water works."
NOW FOR THE THIRD STRIKE
The Lawrence water system continues to be a joke. After two elections costing the tax payers hundreds of dollars the city is unable to purchase the stock of the old company. Both elections were useless, owing to some small technicality of the election laws.
Students went home last spring hoping to find on their return to Lawrence a water system that would furnish plenty of pure water. But, instead, the first thing that greeted them was: "No water on the Hill." A rotten main had burst and it took two days to mend it.
So students continue to take their baths in "rusty" water whenever they can get it, drink flat-tasting distilled water—when they don't forget to carry their drinking cup, and do their laboratory work if there is water on the Hill.
Shall we try another election? As you know: "The third time's the charm."

JUST WATCH OUR SMOKE!
Who says Lawrence isn't a regular town? Who is there to question that it is a metropolis? Has not Lawrence all the marks of a first class city?
True, Lawrence has a population of not quite fifteen thousand, which makes it a city of the second class. But there is nothing like taking on city ways in anticipation of becoming a full fledged municipality.
The elaborate traffic regulations recently passed would do justice to Chicago or Philadelphia. Cut diagonally across Fifth Avenue if you like, but when you stop in Lawrence make your angler right, or confer with the police judge.
At Thirty-fourth Street and Broadway in New York, where the flow of people and traffic is so dense you have almost to elbow your way across the street you may take whatever direction gets you to your destination. When, however, you reach the congested district of Lawrence (pop. 12,374) be very, very careful.
HELP HIM SPEND IT
While trudging up Mount Oread one day, a bright eyed, fluffy haired little lass was heard to say to her companion, "Oh, yes he has stacks of money and believe me, I can help him spend it."
Only thoughtless and gay, it is true, but the girl who is bent only on helping a man spend his money will at the same time make him spend his ambition and high ideals. She is not looking for a good companion and sympathetic comrade, who one prizes her intellect and womanliness, as well as her beauty and charm, but—she gets what she wants.

Lives of great men oft remind us We could make our lives sublime, If we only had the money, Sense enough and lots of time.
The lazy student who wishes that he could lie in bed instead of going to an early class often wonders—when the alarm clock buzzes—why the Lord ever thought of making such things as mornings.
Whoever prepared the menu for one of the student restaurants was not far from right when he made it read "Chicken coquettes."

Joseph Wing suggests that all diarymen put stumbling blocks in their cow paths, so that each member of the herd may fall and strain her own milk.
A local motion picture theatre adverts "The Law Decides, ten cents." And yet there _are_ those who wall about the high cost of justice.
There comes a time in every man's life when he is firmly convinced that he has a good voice if it were only developed.
From a report in the Lawrence Journal-World, the Salina Journal would have all of us who participate in the night shirt parade cruelly shot down by riot guns at the hands of the Lawrence police force. Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
Anyway, there will be no danger of such a thing happening. The police force is hard to find except on payday.

The good old "rah-rah" days have passed. The freshman who expects to find here the realization of Frank Gore, who was down to doomed to disappointment, for in this year of grace 1916, such things exist only in the so-called "college" stories written by men and women who have learned the inside of a college or university.
and ranchers' weather When we ride the range together,
Yes, the good old days are no more. The enterprising photographer discovered that yesterday when he beamed toward his colleague to be thrown in the honeydew for the movies. No one was found who would fall for even such an attractive lure as a season ticket to one of Champlain's most famous plays. It is well that the scene was not photographed, although we are sure it would have made a good picture, for it would have been a deliberate misrepresentation of college life as it ex-
The freshman who fears he will be thrown in the boneyard or be compelled to suffer any other indignities may quickly dispel his apprehension. We should not, for instance, we clip the freshman's hair, even though that be the popular misconception. Hazing in any form whatsoever is against the rules of the UniTournament because he has been enforced in the past that violations have been exceedingly rare. Neither do we paint class numerals and football scores on the sidewalks and buildings. The fed fading marks are indications are relics of bye-days.
It is not because we lack spirit that college pranks of the story book type are missing at Illinois, but because we are living in a different age, we have a different conception of college life, a broader outlook, and a higher appreciation of things worth while.—Daily Illini.
PADDLE UPPERCLASSMEN?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Theoretically, that may be all right, but practically, there is no one who better knows the yells, who is better acquainted with the players and therefore more enthusiastic, than the upperclassman. Therefore he should be, more than any one else, in the rooters' section. If he is not interested enough in the welfare of the team to sit with the other men, then what can one expect of the freshmen? Upperclassman.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Every year I notice the agitation for punishing the freshmen who appear at the football games with their hats, especially an upperclassman for taking a date.
In regard to this argument for and against dates at the football game, Sept. 30th, that is now going on, what about the fellows that have out-of-town dates and have had, for weeks?
Subscriber.
The Kansas does not advocate any penalty for appearing at the games with a date. It is right and proper that one should escort out of town guests to the game, and we believe there will be no objection on the part of the rooters because of performing this duty.—Editor.
OUT-OF-TOWN DATES

THEY HAVE ONE AT IOWA
Seems to me to all this talk you are making is going to cause hard feelings against such fellows. They at least will be called upon for an explanation.
It is with great pleasure that we at last see some definite steps being taken to better the facilities for taking care of the sick and injured in our college community. The hostess will be present with the students not kept pace with the growth of the college in the last decade and while the per cent of illness in the student
body is no doubt considerably less than for the same number of individuals under average conditions elsewhere, conditions at the college hospital are hardly compatible with a regular atmosphere of the campus.
With the erection of a new, thoroughly modern and up-to-date hospital building, the installation of adequate equipment and the enlargement of facilities for care and quality essential for the efficient handling of any emergency, Iowa State will have little to apologize for. All these changes have been proposed for small delay in the materialization of the plans—Iowa State student.
