The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text of Kansas; to go further than the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be generous; and more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to judge the students of the University.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1916.
A mnn does not always aim at what he means to hit.
GET OUT THAT NIGHTSHIRT!
The night-shirt parade! Well, well,
it's coming.
On next Saturday night, after we have won our first football game, the annual night shirt parade is due to take place. And it will undoubtedly take place, because it has come to be an institution, a tradition, at K. U.
This night shirt parade, let it be said for the benefit of the new students, is the students' way of celebrating their first football victory of the year. Dressed in night-shirt and night-caps and pajamas and everything else imaginable, the students form a line on the Hill after listening to "pep" talks from the coaches and football men and do the "snake-dance" all the way down to the business district. Here the merchants open their doors to the students and treat them liberally to soft drinks, cigars, candy, etc., showing their appreciation in advance for the students' patronage during the ensuing school year.
Let the fact that the city last year presented a bill of ninety-three dollars to the student council for damages done at these rallies serve as a gentle reminder that it is the part of wisdom for over-enthusiastic students to curb their property-destroying proclivities. Credit is due the citizens of Lawrence for their toleration of student lawlessness in these rallies, but there is a limit to their endurance.
—But anyway, get out that night-shirt, get in line and—Show Your Pep!
Have the time of your life, but don't let the enthusiasm of the occasion carry you away to the extent that you forget to consider the rights of others.
One freshman in the University claims to have no religious affiliation but asserts that he is a pessimist.
THE CRITICISM OF IGNORANCE
There are too many side-line critics who apparently fail to understand that Coaches Olcott, Clarke and McCarty know more about football, and have a better understanding of the capabilities of every man on the squad, than any other man on Mount Oread. The man, therefore, who knocks their judgment as to who should play, and how the games should be managed, simply makes a public revelation of his ignorance, and nothing more.
We have employed the best men obtainable to teach us how to play football, and these men are thoroughly capable of delivering the necessary efficiency. So, let us all be pupils, and avoid, not criticism, but cock-sure criticism.
THE COACH'S REQUEST
THE COACH'S REQUEST Coach Olcott wants no dates between University students at the football games, and it is to be hoped that all men will fall in line with the
scheme. The Sigma Chis are to be commended for having already approved the plan.
If you men will sit with the Thundering Tousand, nobody will pester you with questions; you won't have to explain the game every five minutes; no hat feather will tickle you on the nose or get in your way just as the ball goes over the line; you can just watch every movement of the players, jump up and throw your hat in the air, yell to beat the band, and conduct yourself as much like a lunatic as necessary. Wouldn't it be fun?
No, the girls won't care. They know that the rooters' section needs you worse than they do.
Some of the students who join in the night "pop" concerts and go around bawling "Everybody out" would be the first to squelch a defence-less cat if he were caught in their neighborhood showing the same spirit as "Tommy."
AGAIN THE PEST
Every year some pestiferous person persists in marring the natural beauty of the campus, and this year is proving to be no exception.
The 1915 memorial, very artistically designed and beautiful in itself, is rapidly becoming an eyesore to any one passing it, covered like a "crazy-quilt" with posters and advertisements of all kinds.
Again, the practice started recently by some of our ambitious politicians of attempting to convert the sidewalks into billboards, and besmearing them with paste and political dope snails the appearance of the campus.
Politics seems to reign over Beauty Does this seem right?
Since the public speaking classes have begun, many students are complaining of weak knees and influenza.
“Business not Politics,” announces one of the class tickets and then proceeds to stage one of the hottest election campaigns of the present election.
One student in the University is evidently well posted in the finer points of an automobile. He claims to be able to take the make of any car by looking at the rear axle.
Replying an instructor's inquiry as to the poet he enjoyed reading most, one man wrote that he liked the works of Tennyson J. Daft.
The freshman cap hasn't met with the approval of at least one student's mother. "Don't be foolish," she wrote. "It's nothing but a fad."

POET'S CORNER
THE GOLDEN STAIR
I built a golden stairway
To a leopard house.
A pleasant way, a fair way
Of pleasure and Success.
I left the crowded highway
Of those who fought and failed,
For their way was not my way—
My stair was golden-railed.
But when I reached the gateway that crowned my glided stair, I looked below—and straightway My husband had lied.
-Violet D. Chapman, in the London Bookman.
DIDN'T LIKE THE DANCE
To the Edition of the Deaf Kentucky
CAMUSIA OPINION
Commission on good faith but will not be published for good faith but will not be published
CAMPUS OPINION
With Union Club dances tabbed by Mrs. Eustace Brown it looks like the dancing students of K. U. will have to be contented with mis-managed Student Council Varsity parties, a fine mix of which was staged Saturday night.
Seemingly no one on the Council realized that several hundred students were just aching to go to a student lance. As a result Ecke's saw the worst crush in its history and many were the couples that returned home with bumped heads, sprained ankles, and bruised feet. F. A. U. and the lay were both dark that night, but with only a hundred admissions at the university of course an adequate all-call could be made. Student Council dances are perfectly "proper" even if they are crowded; so why complain.
Disgusted Junior.
The Sigma Chis and the Women's Student Government Association have taken a worthy stand on the question of eliminating football dates as one means of securing better rooting at the gridiron. Their action and suggestion deserve the support of the entire body of upperclassmen, at least.
AGAIN THAT RULE
Editor of the Delhi Kangaroo
Last year there was considerable agitation against freshmen dates and several men were blanketed. The last few weeks, Kansas needs good consistent rooting and lots of it and the only way to secure it is for the entire male contingent to stick together and give Kansas a "Thundering Two Thousand."
CONTENTMENT
Contentment is the art of being satisfied. It is about the only thing which can give one time to enjoy life. It varies in form, from a flat on the six floor, to a few acres of ground, of fresh air, and several jersey cows.
After all why this scrambling after ambition, the Will o' the wisp that sooner or later leads and plunges u into the mire?
