The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand fully the students of the University.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1915.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer—Psalms, 19:14
THEY HELPED THE TEAM
University students all over the country are prone to give all the credit for a successful football season to the men who appear on the field and are pitted against the eleven from another school. Kansas students are no exception to the general rule. They give nine rails for the men who do the spectacular playing. And they should.
But, looking behind the scenes, one can see that not all the credit is due the man who makes the field goal or crosses the enemy's goal line for a touchdown. Out on McCook Field and every other field in the country, two or three other squads are working just as much for the honor of the old school as are the men who make the team.
And to this year's freshman squad, much credit should be given for the successful season just closed. Those first-year men worked every night on the pet plays of the teams to be met, they ran them against the Varsity and showed up the weak places in the first team. Day after day—all during the football season—those tyros labored under the guidance of Coach Leon McCarty that Kansas might again twist the Tiger's tail.
And now, with the season gone—not necessarily forgotten—we turn to them with nine hearty rahs. You're a fine bunch, freshman squad of 1915, and we want you to know that we appreciate your work. Not all of you will wear the Crimson and Blue suits next year; not all of you will cross the Husker's line for the winning score; but you can all be proud of the fact that you did your part in 1915.
THAT 1915 SMOKER
We shall look for you out for practice next fall.
All out for the football smoker Wednesday night!
The cost is only two bits, and Coach Olcott, Tony James and the 1916 captain will have something to say about the prospects for next year. There will probably be no "cats," but one doesn't go to a football smoker to get a square meal. A smoke and five or six good talks is enough.
EVERYBODY OUT!
IT'S ALMOST OVER—SCORE!
The most difficult time of the year to get down to work is now. We have had just enough vacation to make hard work seem unusually disagreeable, and the approaching Christmas holidays offer an excuse for letting work slide. But by what is done in the next three weeks a great many students will stand or fall. For the man or woman who is weak in his work these three weeks of sliding are fatal. We constantly tell ourselves that we will make up back work during vacation, but this idea is a delusion and a snare. We never have done it, and we probably never will.
After Christmas vacation, everything trends toward the final examinations. There is no time to catch up with lessons that have been neglected. If earnest work is done now, if every day's work is done for day intended, final examinations will lose their terror. It is difficult to get down to work now, but the real student is the one who does it.
INDISPENSARLE
How necessary is "punch!" How universal in its application is punch! How wonderful in its tone and color value is punch! Every one acknowledges its force. All strive for it. It is a thing we all pursue. The successful rally could not get along without it. It is indispensable to a committee, a football team an office seeker, college president, or prize-fighter
But it is not confined to the narrow sphere of university activities. Theodore Roosevelt uses punch for political supremacy. That it doesn't always work is no fault of the Punch. Jack Johnson made a world wide reputation on his punch. Milady Butterfly uses punch for aesthetic reasons. And William Randolph Hearst uses it for reasons best known to himself.
Queer about the color values too. The ex-president's punch is purple; the prize-fighter's, red; Milady's, pink or orange; and Hearst's is yellow.
One's attitude toward the subject all depends on whether one is the consigner or consignee.
THAT FIFTY DOLLARS
THAT FIFTY DOLLARS Some University student is to receive a fifty dollar prize before the year is out for having written the best original play. The competition is keen and many students are out for that big bill.
The greatest number of contestants at present are seniors. That should not be. A sophomore or brilliant is just as likely to have a brilliant idea for a suitable plot as one higher up, and his ability to organize the material may be just as good.
Every student in the University who has an idea for a play might spend a few evenings at home working on a play for the inspection of the judges. If one loses, the experience gained will help in future work.
The time to start is now.
We hear that Lindsay kicked at a mud-soaked ball. Would you say that college training is making our football men fastidious?
With the Army and Navy fighting against each other, how can we avoid being prepared for war?
"They Begin Charity at home," says a headline. Some fair one must have taken to doing the dishes after dinner, before she went to the library.
There is some compensation for having to return to school after the Thanksgiving holidays. We do not have to eat turkey hash and soup.
One half column, only, was given to the Sunday visit of President Wilson to Mrs. Galt, while the European War received in whole paper papers learn to play up the real news and sid track the trivial stuff?
Vaccination is free, and typhoid or smallpox comes high.
Presence of mind is a good thing in a battle, but most people think absence of body is better.

Bright one—Maybe your feet aren't empty.

Do physiological statistics show that the sons of men who guide their lives by the baser ideals average stronger in physical and mental powers than the sons of those who stand higher idealists? The spinsters that of hell and hobos, or is it something noble? Where does K. U. stand?
Everybody knows that it is the spirit of a yell—the mental attitude of the crowd behind it—which enters the players on the field to make them more or less efficient. Is the spirit of recklessness and daredevility which these "hell-yells" carry to the players a thing that inspires in them greater precision, more speed, and greater manly effort of all kinds?
"When he sees I am down to zero he will warm me up a bit, I guess."
While we are talking about making an effort to see that prospective football stars enrol, in the University of Wisconsin, why don't we do more than talk?
Are there ever any reasons why people choose other schools instead of the University? Or is it only prejudice, that causes them to do so?

CAMPUS OPINION
The community from which I come is, on the whole, decidedly in favor of a certain denominational school. The sentiment held toward K. U. is based—so far as any knowledge is concerned—upon conditions which do not exist. But if we have, then are now丘兴. But if we have, that are un
Where is the cultural value in such expressions as, "To hell with old Missouri," "Hell yes," or "Hell no?" Does it take "hell" to win a football game? Apparently Nebraska hobbles along fairly well without advertising their allegiance to it. Does it show any huge degree of manhood blindly to follow the crowd in voicing sentiments that can do nobody good and are sure to do the University much harm?

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Over in the library there is a clock that has had one expression on its face for so long that a change in its make-up would probably cause a panic among the students. In other other similar timepieces in other buildings on the carcus.
i purer sky, where all is peace.
— L. G. C. Brainard.
Some day when you and I have passed beyond and our great-grandchildren are trodding up and down Adams street to and from classes, a mighty personage will come to me by foot or by timber by building, or starting a movement for a new clock for the University. Some twenty or thirty learned men, daily preach on efficiency, compose an organization, and defend the welfare of this institution. Still for as long as I can remember, the clock in Blake Hall has been running in much the same manner as a local professor's ideas, that is, it runs fine for a day or so and then it ceases to be on
stream,
Float on in joy, to meet
Now what I want to know is just how long it is going to take this board of efficiency-preachers to see that the students are provided with decent clocks and that these instruments are kept in condition and allowed to remain in classrooms, room schools, high schools and in fact every minor educational institution in the state, has an efficient method of time telling, yet here at an institution of "high learning" we cannot receive even such services as our old friend Big Ben deals out. For our school any other patron, please NoAyaties, wake up, look at the clocks, discover that they have been on a strike for more than a year, and then DO SOMETHING to show us that you are not in the same condition as the timepieces.

"The advertiser is a public educator, more proficient in the art of teaching than the graduates of our normal schools." This is a statement made in "The Advertiser as a Public Benefactor", which is in The Independent November 2017 edition that advertising is "one of the economic wastes of competition" is denied and the writer concludes that advertising is well worth what it costs the community and adds: "It has eliminated, advertising of some kind will have to be kept up unless the race is to stagnate."
The assertions are sweeping but he makes out a good case with the following foundation: "Progress consists in the creation of new wants; happiness in the satisfaction of them. So both progress and happiness are factious efforts of the advertiser. He is not a producer; no, and neither is lubricating oil a fuel for the engine, but it is quite as indispensable as coal."
