The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of further education than merely printing the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gracious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to help students satisfy the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27, 1916. A Judicious alliance is always better spoken without charity—De Sales. PEP It is one thing to show pep in a rally and another to show good sense. The Lawrence merchants have donated one Saturday night for the express purpose of laying their wares open to the Thundering Thousand. Of course the Thundering Thousand are a timid bunch and nothing hurts their feelings more than to take one bun or one doughnut or one cigar from any place. They shrink from collecting the treasured trash-cans of ye city fathers and dropping them in the dead hush of the night onto the brick pavement. They shrink from all this—but the honor of their Alma Mater demands it. They must show their pep some way. Of course they might ALL attend the games and follow the instructions of the cheerleader to help make the rooting better. They might all come to the games without a date so that they might sit with the alleged Thundering Thousand. They might each one maintain silence until the cheerleader gives the word and then make the fellow that sits next to him realize that he will never qualify as a foghorn. But no—their Alma Mater calls to them for pep—and then a bon-fire of some citizen's fence is the only thing that will satisfy. Just think Men! Maybe that's the only fence that poor man had! No, Gwendolyn, Green Hall is not a freshman dormitory. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? When asking for a drink at the Lawrence waterworks, the thirsty one was given a glass of well water which had been brought from nearly a mile away. "We are like the waiter in the restaurant who didn't eat the food there," said the attendant. "We don't drink the water here." And yet this is the water, the city of Lawrence is "feeding" the students every day. War prices are hitting us from every angle. Dogs in previous years were bought by the department of zoology for fifty cents, now the price is one dollar. "Tis rumored that the advance will effect the wiewierwue." THOSE FRESHMAN LIDS On next Saturday the little freshman caps make their initial appearance of the year. From then on until Thanksgiving the diminutive headpiece must be worn by the yearlings in all their appearance on the campus. The idea is prevalent among some of the freshmen that this is a punishment for their greenness, and that it is a disgrace to wear the cap. The idea is wrong. Every man who has enrolled in the University, for years past, has worn the badge of freshmanship and it is one of the things the old grads remember with pleasure. As the lodges have recognition buttons for the convenience of their members, so have the freshmen their caps as an easy road to acquaintancehip with each other. It is the proverbial tie that binds the first year men together to work for the betterment of the University and, as one freshman expressed it, "set us out 'from the common hered.'" It is reported that the troops in Mexico have begun the eating of green persimmons to adjust their stomachs to the size of their rations. GET THE SPIRIT! "The Biggest and Best Yet" is the slogan that our Cheerleader Gedney has adopted for the big peep meeting at the opening rally Friday night. This does not mean that the success of the rally lies wholly within the efforts of the cheerleader, but in the hearty support of the student body. So it is up to us to be one of the "Thundering Two Thousand." Let's give a Rock Chalk that will ring out over Mount Oread as never before. "Ana," said she as she picked up a sieve. "This will be a strained moment." (Absolutely original.—Ed.) CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent A WOMAN CLASS PRESIDENT? Editor of the Daily, Kansas; Editor of the Daily Kansan: The girls at the University are failures when it comes to real participation in school activities. Notice the many setbacks and difficulties. There will usually be one girl slated as secretary on each of the tickets, but that is only a trick to draw the woman's vote. The office is insignificant, and its holder is as much of a figurehead as the vicepresident. But so far the women have given no evidence of being capable of doing anything worth while. Whenever given an opportunity they have been painful failures, because they are too narrowly intent on their own personal plioration and advancement. This leads to the conclusion of co-operative school spirit. It is time for the women to show their worth. Co-Ed.
