The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the new state news; he holds that boys' values hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads. In all, he assures the students of the University.

WELCOME, HIGH SCHOOLS!

Many times, welcome to our midst. Make yourself at home. Get a good look at our University.
Of course, you are up here to carry home that basketball cup—and may the best team win. Yet, there must be many losers. If your team is one of them, don't be downcast. Have a good time anyway! If this is your first visit to the University visit it and learn all you can about our big school. If you've seen it before, learn more about it. All of the K. U. students will be glad to show you the things on the campus.
Play a good game. Have a good time. See the University and its good work—and luck be with you!
A California school teacher threw up her job because she received sixteen proposals of marriage in four months. Men are so inconsiderate. They did not even give her one chance to use her Leap Year prerogative.
"A" IS FOR ATHLETE
Now, those little red "As" that you have noticed bedecking the fronts of the sweaters of many women on the campus this week mean a lot more than a new decoration for a sweater.
Have you noticed the proud, though self-conscious way the women have been wearing them? They are not yet used to the letters and cannot get over "that funny feeling."
And this is the reason. For the first time in the history of the University of Kansas, the athletic efforts of the women have been rewarded in a tangible way. From now on, the women of the University will have something besides a gymnasium credit for which to work. The Women's Athletic Association, revived this fall, awarded its first letters at the exhibition Tuesday night, and there are now twenty women on the Hill who are the proud possessors of the red A which bears a blue K. U. upon its face.
The letters mean proficiency in many lines of gymnastic work, and indicate that the wearer has proved herself a good, strong college woman. Character as well as strength is taken into consideration in the awarding of the letters. It is a badge of honor, that little red letter.
For years the men of the University have been awarded "Ks" for their athletic efforts. They have worked better because of it. Women's athletics deserve as much encouragement as those of the men and it is hoped that the time is not far distant when the women may have a big "K" of their own.
In order to give the women a "K", they must be able to meet other colleges in contests. There are plenty of colleges that would greatly meet K. U. Can it not be hoped that within a few seasons, Kansas will be awarding "Ks" to her women, as well as her men athletes?
K. U.—M. U.—WHO WINS?
"On your mark! Get set!" Bang!! they're飞 off! The annual dual indoor meet between Kansas and Missouri is to be held tonight.
Tonight, white-clad Kansas track men will be in Convention Hall in Kansas City striving for glory, and for the honor of the school. They will be competing against their old time enemy, Missouri-Jayhawk against Tiger.
And may the best team win!—But let that team be Kansas!
GEE! WHAT MEMORIALS!
- * * * * *
Imagine yourself back on Mount Oread after an absence of twenty-five years. As you and your pretty daughter approach the campus, you stop in amazement and exclaim, "What! This, our once beautiful campus, a graveyard?"
"Why, no, papa, this is not a cemetery," she will say, "these things that you imagine to be tombstones are pretty memorials that the graduating classes have left." "Is that a monument in front of Green Hall?' Oh, no, the laws are still alive. Read what the inscription says:
'The class of 1933
Hereby proves they paid a fee.
"Now that little windmill over there was given by last year's class. I think it is so much more ornamental than that jumping-jack in front of the library or that pole over there, decorated with the class colors. You thought it a barber pole?—Why, every one just reaved to it. I am afraid you are a little old-fashioned.
"Be careful there. Don't run into that hitching-post. The class that left this novel memorial couldn't find any room for it except on the side-walk, so we have to remember and not run into it.
"You are not making fun of our campus, are you? Just think of the money that has been spent beautifying it. Our class has a splendid plan for something absolutely original. We are going to erect a big cement umbrella just over the place where the Saturday Evening Post boy stands. Isn't that thoughtful of us?"
---
We students of the present must not let our minds wander too far. We must revolutionize the "small-memorial" idea while we are still able to find our way about the campus without colliding with class memorials.
We can easily see where the present system will take us. The campus is already stocked with little things. The superintendent of the University's bounds has warned the classes not to "overdo it." The Chancellor has approved a plan suggesting that four classes go together every four years and I have something to the University that would be worth while. The corner north of Fraser are an ideal place for a beautiful perpetual fountain. Combined menoral 'n'us would buy a clock that would tell the truth. Let's put the question before the students at the next election.

OUR FAVORITE POETS
First Dark Body: "Did yo' all hear dat hymn dat the choir render'd las' Sunday?"
Close on the hounds the Hunter came, to cheer them on the vanished game; to call the dogs in, to gallant horse exhausted fell, the impatient rider strove in vain, the hunter killed, for he stood, his labors oer. Stretched his stiff limbs, to rise no
Then, touched with pity and remorse,
I took a hand to the arm. "Tittle thoughts, when first thy rein

YOUR GREETING
that cost thy life, my gallen gray"
"and that cost thy life," Lady of the Lake—
The Chase.
Be courteous! Greet people with a cheerful salutation and a smile. To do this will cost you nothing. On the floor, have your friends and will warm your soul with the fire of human fellowship. Don't go along the street act as though the people you meet were cigar-store Indians. Watch out for friend and stranger meetings, and them as they approach and when you meet, say "Good morning," or "How do you do?" as though you meant it, not as though your greeting had been in cold storage for a year or so, and were ashamed to let it pass your lips.
Once, years ago, a traveler said to me: "If you want to make friends, be honest. I have enough of that friendship a thousand times. And I keep on thinking of it!"
If you want people to be kind and polite to you, you must be kind and polite to them;-and once in a while, maybe, it won't be the worst thing in the world for you to get busy first.
To greet a friend—or stranger, if need he
With ringing voice and gleaning eye to speak
The cheery word, and smile e'en as we speak.—
Of all good, manly feeds, this is by far
Not be reckoned as the least in worth.
For as ye do to others, so they do To you. Ye know the "Golden Rule" of life!
Greet, then, My Friends, e'en as you would be greeted.

But of course no man with the inborn talent of greatness is apt to tell anyone of what he really feels, for embryo greatness or genius doesn't ordinarily grow that way. Though genius is often a battlefield, it works with the power of radium within the personality and mind.
Most of the future big men among the students would have been great whether they came to college or not. But many others are laying the foundation by careful labor at college for a lighting system which will be reflected with a far greater brilliance on the historical sky.
On nearly every university campus there are occasionally two or three men with a future. Some will be presidents; some will postwriters, authors, statesmen, or scholars. The peculiar thing about it is that most of these persons feel prophetically their promise, because of an exalted egoism an invincible punch, and a special ability along their special lines.
One interesting thought is that whenever a student brands one of his fellows as a "bill off" or visionary for some non-conformity, he may be ridiculing one of those chosen two or three dozen who are headed toward the ranks of the immortals.—Michigan Daily.
With college graduates, the question of business success is not between clamming or slipping low on the hillside of human careers, but it is merely the problem of how high they will get. Ant it is in the classroom and campus activity that every student is forging his hill-climbing machine. Some of the students who have been working for them that the divine fire of highest greatness is absent from them, and wisely seek out for associates, Diogenes-like, the two or three whom they think will reach the summit of success.
Out of the Mouth of Babes
Benevolent old Gentleman (in the park):
"Here, my pretty little girl,
is a penny for you."
Modern Child of Five (also in the park): "How dare you, sir? Desist, I tell you. I know you men. My nurse has sung me "The Heart of a City that has no Heart," I've seen "The Price She Paid," and "Little Beautiful Woman." We take the Cosmopolitan. Go away at once, or I shall report to the Watch and Ward Society"—Harvard Lamoon.

"No."
"Why are you so sure?"
I Didn't Think It of Her Mother: "Gladys, you stood on the porch quite a while with that young man last night."
"Oh, I was in his room. There is no September Morn picture there. No copy of Snappy Stories. He has no books. There are several copies of the Literary Digest and no ash trays. What more do you want?"—Froth.
Gladys: "Why, mother, I only stood there for a second." Mother: "But I'm sure I heart the third or fourth."—Panther.
