The Daily Kansan aims to pique interest in the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more amous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to educate the students of the University.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1916.
CHEER UP KANSAS
With a head football coach from Yale, an assistant from Illinois, a veteran freshman coach, and the best manager of athletics in the Valley, Kansas can indeed look forward to the athletic season of 1916-17 with only the most pleasant anticipation.
Coach Olcott who last year gave K. U. the best gridiron machine since 1908 and a second place position in the Valley Conference race starts his second season this fall and with prospects excellent for a Valley champion Assisted by "Potsey" Clark, who with Pogue and Maccomber made Illinois the gridiron champion of the United States in 1914, Olcott will have more time than ever for polishing up the work of the Kansas line while Clark works up a shifty backfield.
Then there will be the veteran Leon McCarty handling the freshman squad. Footballs cost six dollars each this year but despite this William Oliver Omar Hamilton, manager of athletics since 1909 expects to keep a comfortable balance in the Jayhawker athletic money chest, thanks to the new interurban and the young multitudes it is expected to haul into town on such occasions as the Kansas Aggie, Oklahoma, and Missouri games.
Glancing over the Vallev, it is difficult to find anything equal to the good prospects that Kansas faces this fall. Nebraska minus Stichm, Rutherford, and Chamberlain, is expected to look much like the late lamented Philadelphia Athletics without Collins, Baker, Barry, and other stars. Up at Manhattan another new football coach will also reign. Missouri still keeps Schulte and Brewer but Van Gen, Tiger basketball coach is gone.
So why shouldn't Kansas be happy. Why, if the unsympathetic war department will just us back Woodward and Robbins—why, we'd beat even Illinois.
So here it is: Page one, Volume fifty-one of the History of the University of Kansas. A large, white page suitable for the inscription of a great record.
"WE HAVE WITH US TODAY—"
Grafters of all varieties—laundry agents, boarding club stewards, politicians—they are all with us today while we register in the gym. The laundry agent is frank and open in his approach. He hands you a card, murmurs a word of praise about the good work his establishment does, takes your name and address to leave a new bag, and is gone.
The steward and of course the stewardard, takes more time and uses a more finished method. But whatever turn the conversation may take, inevitably comes the invitation to eat at the "Bow Wow" club, so much per, and 'steen pretty girls.'
But for real class, hand it to the politician. No coarse blunt solicitation of votes with him. A cordial handshake, a breezy smile, eager questions about the summer vacation, and a few words about courses. Certainly there is nothing this young p erson has so much at heart as your welfare.
But in a few days comes the announcement of the "Square Deal Ticket" and then it is all clear.
And of course among the crowd in the gym is the subscription solicitor for the Daily Kansan. But he isn't a grafter. He is, in fact, a benefactor of the student body and humanity.
Today and tomorrow and next day,
chart the course and chart it right.
Then go by the chart.
What a story it would make—the composite recital of the doings of all of us since June! Pleasure, toil. Recreation, health, money. Success, failure. Duty, selfishness. The pursuit of many gods, false and true. Out story in worldwide in scope, infinite in variety, multitudinous in purposes. What an interesting conglom-
eration we are, thrown together here by social forces and individual ambitions. It is a great world—this world of ours. Let's make the most of it.
Watch your step, freshman! A firm footing now means fewer stumbles later.
The fifty-first opening of the University! If you find it hard to believe that it has been that long since things began on Mt. Oread, go and look at North College. You'll say it has been 150 years at least.
Another keynote: The next legis
lature must be shown.
Keynote: We are here for a seri-
pious purpose—or we don't belong here,
There are hermits souls that live with drawn In museums of their self-content: There are souls, like stars, that dwell anant.
In a fellowness firmament;
There are souls that blaze
their paths.
Let me live in a house by the side of
Where highways never run;
Where the road is not of the road
And be a friend to man.
BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road. Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men
As good and as bad as I,
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or cycle my bicycle 's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
And be a friend to man.

Mr. Quakenbush
the CONKLIN is always on the job-
THE "prof" is *going* right -- full blast in the subject -- dispensing knowledge at a sixty clip -- facts you've got to get.
You're writing like mad—never missing a thought—getting all the meat: Then of a sudden—
too much pressure snaps your pencil point—or your lead's worn down beyond writing—or your steel pen gasps its last scratch! The lecture won't wait! By the time you're again fixed for writing—
A matter of seconds fills a Conklin—just a slight pressure on the "Crescent-Filler" and she's filled—ready for a day's writing, an permanent—that will never smudge or blur.
you've lost the thread of the talk. But a Conklin—well, it's always on the job—always ready to write, without a falter, scratch or blot. And because there is a Conklin point specially made for every style of hand-writing a Conklin writes smoothly, without iting its user—with no attention but filling.
The Conklin was the first self-filing pen it—has over 1,500,000 enthusiastic users.
Conkline are sold by stationers, jewelers,
drugstores and department stores at $2.50,
$3.00, $4.00, $5.00 and up. Every Conklin
dealer can fit your hand to a T.
Every Conkin is guaranteed to write and fill exactly as you think a pen should—it either does this or you will be furnished a new pen or your money refunded without question. There are no "ifs" about it—YOU are the judge.
