The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the news than merely printing the news than merely printing the news by standing up for it and playing no favorites; to be clear; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more problems to wiser heads; in all, to provide the students of the University.

REAL FOOTBALL SPIRIT
O wad some power the giffes gie us.
It had some power the giffes gie us.
It had some power the giffes gie us.
It had some power the giffes gie us.
Let us look the football situation squarely in the face,—unselfishly—as men and women should. We want a good team and we stand ready to pay the price.
For a working theory, let us assume that the support of the student body as a whole is absolutely necessary toward this end. Our interest in the team may be realized in many ways, however, and cheering at the games is the most absolute manifestation of it. Now let us put theories aside and deal with some definite facts.
Every man should come to every game with the intention of yelling for the men on the gridiron. By this it is meant that every man should sit in the Rooters' Section. This is an absolute rule in many of the leading universities. The women can dispense with their escorts while the game is in progress if they are interested in the team's success.
If the trench newspapers of France are so successful, it might be inspiring to the Kansan to have Zeppelin sailing over the Medic Building dropping shells.
GET STARTED RIGHT
One of the biggest things for the new student, or the old, at the beginning of a new year is to get started right.
The new student is apt to let the strangeness of the place get the best of him and will not "come to" until too late in the year for him to pull a good grade. The old "stude" is sure to spend too much time looking up old friends or having a good time.
A good start is half the battle. Time lost at the beginning of the semester cannot be regained. Begin work now along with the play and you will always find that you have time to look after those little social affairs, and you can do it with a clearer conscience.
Announcement is made that a last year's graduate of the School of Law has enrolled in the College and will play handball again this year. And thus the loss to the legal profession is counterbalanced to some extent by the gain to one of the major sports.
FOR THE BEST MAN
A veteran politician makes the statement that no candidate was ever elected to a student office because of merit; that the man who pulls the most wires, makes the most promises, tells the most lies, or trades the most votes, usually lands the job, and he is always not the man best fitted for the office.
This may be a pessimistic viewpoint. But there is certainly some truth in his statement. The average voter may cast his ballot honestly in favor of the candidate he believes the most deserving. But the men who have
placed the ticket in the field know that the candidate is deserving only because of his political affiliation, without which his chance of election would be negligible. But, vote for the best man!
Many of the women at Washburn and K. U. are no longer "the only child." All the freshman women have Big Sisters.
ROWDY VS. GENTLEMAN
It is surprising that men of University standing should be reported for disrespectful remarks about women. Such actions are usually attributed to ignorant loafers and rowdies on street corners, and the censorship of their conduct is left to the police.
Men who have just enough brains to think nasty thoughts and make idiotic remarks are not needed here. K. U. sentiment does not tolerate that sort of thing. Thoughtlessness may have been the cause of the offenses in this case, and if so, the warning already given should be sufficient.

A VITAL ISSUE
Editor of the Daily Kansan
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
It takes student opinion to start a precedent. We are facing a new issue just at present, and we must soon address it. We will have a fence for fence we shall make our stand upon.
Will it better the chances of our having a winning football team if the men of the University are all in the Rooters' Section, or it is their duty to see to it that the women are escorted to the games?
What do you think, fellow student;
or are you one of the disinterested ones?
If you have an opinion, publish it.
Tell somebody else what you write,
yet, write it down and bring it to the University Daily Kansas office.
This is truly a vital issue, and if the new movement is adopted it may work a revolution in our football spirit. Perhaps you do not think so—then voice your doubt. Or, perhaps you do, then boost, for it is going to take a lot of good, hard work to put this deal across.
One of the Fellows.
THE WOMEN'S VIEW
"Do Your Spring Party Rushing Early?" has been the motto in years past; but now if these football dates are done away with, what can the poor boys do to get in good with that sport? The sorority is billed to give a S. P.？
Another thing! Girls do not crave to go to the games alone, so, with all this rooting, where will the team be if the women of the University lose enthusiasm? Therefore the question of the hour is: "Is it best, everything considered, to make the boys give up their football dates?"
Miss Sorority.

BE A MAN:
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Pepper" retracts. K, U. has NO ost her pup. Most riotically, tumultuously, and enthusiastically she has OT! When a spontaneous rally collects 300 boosters in mid-week as it lids last week, Kansas spirit is right in the job. Let's keep it up until Nov. 10 when we step on Missou.
Publicity is no cure. It is merely a food to feed their vanity. A more or less lengthy stay in the seclusion of the classroom is necessary, these boys a chance to think a faculty they apparently do not at present possess. If they cared to return at a maturer age, they would then be able to appreciate the meaning of the word
It hasn't taken long this year to bring out the "small town mashers." They are probably freshmen. It is impossible to believe that men who have been long enough to soak in the K. U. spirit could be capable of such behavior. The passing of the child of the mashers of the school tegretten when the women of this University have to be subjected to the slushy comment of porch-chair loafers.

JUST A WORD WITH YOU
Let us explain how you can make sure of a limited Interurban car to Kansas City Friday with only a few stops-a car that belongs to you.
The Kaw Valley line gave you an opportunity to let you decide when it should run a special car to Kansas City for you every Friday in case enough make reservations in time. Eighty-one per cent of those voting chose 3:15 as the time. So
Friday Afternoon at 3:15
a special will leave Lawrence with University students going to the city and will make only as many stops as necessary-one at Bonner Springs, one at Kansas City Kansas, and probably one to pass an outcoming car.
If You Make Reservation in Time
It is absolutely necessary for us to know ahead of time whether or not you are going to want this car. If you are going to the city over the weekend and would like to take this limited without the many stops, traveling with the student crowd, just use either phone and call
740
and ask that seats be reserved. The tickets will be laid aside, and you can get them at the office when you are ready to get on the car.In this manner, we will know how many to plan on and how many special cars to have for you.
We Are Striving to Please You
In every conceivable manner, we are attempting to give the students of the University the best service possible. Our putting on this limited train is an evidence to you of our desire to make your trip to the city more comfortable and speedier. When you have any comments to make on our service, we would deem it a favor if you would write your opinions to the local agent. They will be confidentially treated and sincerely appreciated.
All reservations for the 3:15 limited next Friday must be made at the Interurban office before 9:30 o'clock Wednesday evening.
Announcement will be made in Thursday's Kansan if enough reservations are received to assure the special car.
Regular cars leave Lawrence daily, every hour, from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. They leave 30 minutes after the hour. Regular fare one way 72 cents. Round trip $1.44. Five cents extra from Kansas City, Kansas, to terminal at Tenth and Main streets.
