The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news. University holds to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be serious; to be agostic; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to improve the quality of the students of the University.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1915
For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shail much be required; and to
whom men have committed much of
them they will ask the more.~Mt. Lake
12:48.
GOD CALLS FROM EUROPE
Until us much has been given.
From us, a little is asked.
Will we respond to the call for help? Will we heed the piteous cry from Belgium? Will we make it possible for some student in Europe to further his education?
Belgium is a vast desert, an immense ruin, a colossal cemetery. Millions of homeless women and children have been driven into the open. Millions of bereft parents, breadless, helpless widows and orphans, are wandering about hiding in ruins, in hollows, happy if they find in an abandoned trench some decaying remnants of soldiers' food. And Europe is, on a large scale, what Belgium is on the smaller one.
NO. NO—a thousand times—NO!
Can we hear this cry for help and turn deaf ears? Is it possible that students enjoy the best that life has to offer are heartless?
NO, NO—a thousand times—NO!
Tomorrow every student on Mount Oread will be wearing a Belgium Children's Christmas—European Students' Relief tg. Tomorrow—December 1—is the day. Tomorrow will show that University of Kansas students are Christians. Tomorrow will be one of the great days in K. U. history.
You are not asked to give any specifi-ed amount. Give a dollar, a half a quarter or a dime. Surely everybody can give the minimum amount You can give something.
GIVE IT.
With the birthday of our Savior less than four weeks hence, we can fittingly devote a small memorial to His work by helping those who have naught to eat or wear; who cry for a room in which to sleep; who reach unavailably for the benefit of a meager schooling.
Let's show John R. Mott—who is wearing his life away in the cause of humanity and civilization—that those of us back in Kansas are the exception to his statement concerning the indifference of American students toward the terrible carnage in Europe.
Let's make Mount Oread a cloud of white tags tomorrow.
YOUR OBLIGATION, AND MINE
Students of the University of Kansas, you are under an obligation to your professor. You ought to be in
your seat at every class on time When the roll is called, you ought to be there to answer. It is not fair or just that a prof, should have to grab his book three or four times after class has started to change an "absent" mark to a "tardy" one. At the half hour, you should be seated, have your note book open and ready for fifty minutes' work.
Professors of the University of Kansas, you are under an obligation to your students. When the "twenty-minute-after" whistle blows, you should close your sentence as quickly as possible and excuse the class. Your students have another teacher waiting for them in ten minutes in another building across the campus. You are not fair to the student or to your brother or sister faculty member if you do not quit on time. It is not just that you should run in on another period.
Why not get together? Every student in the University should make his first class on time. Every professor should be quickly after the whistle blows as possible.
Why not live up to these obligations?
IN MEMORIAM
The crucible of war has not produced a more brilliant gem than the following by Hall Caine in his account of the memorial services for Edith Cavell, at St. Paul's cathedral, London, October 29, 1915;
"She is one of the sentinels on the hilltop of eternity, who has won the right to stand by the beacon fires of hope and sacrifice which light up the destinies of mankind."
SAVE THE GRASS
Every student in the University takes a pride in the campus. We delight in showing visitors over it. In making a visit home, we tell of the beautiful panoramic view, and of the way in which the buildings are arranged on Mt. Oread.
We should not neglect the most beautiful part of the campus either—the grass. We have walks, and they were put down to be used. Let's keep on the walks.
What is worse than a bare path trailing off from a walk just in order to save the hurrying student a few seconds?
TIME TO ORGANIZE
Say, are you a member of a county club?
Why not?
There are enough students from your part of the state to get together and organize into some kind of a club. The Kansan will run an announcement a week ahead free of charge. The University will furnish the room and light. Could you ask anything more?
Yes, you could and should.
You would like to have a University speaker at a banquet sometime during the Christmas holidays. Fair enough. The University will pay his carfare to the town of your choice and back.
There is plenty of time left to make arrangements. A basketball game will furnish money to pay for the dinners of seniors in the high schools of the county, and the alumni members will be glad to pay fifty or seventy-five cents to get a good meal and hear four or five good talks.
Then there is the mill tax which will come up next year. But, get organized first. Some of you men and women from ___ county get together and decide on a meeting place, announce it in the Kansan, go to the registrar's office and find out the names and addresses of all the students from your county and call them up. Elect your officers and get ready for a banquet.
And don't forget to elect a representative to the central organization of county clubs.
AND THEY FELT THE BREEZE
Kansas University men want calling hours lengthened from 10 to 11 o'clock because, they say, two hours is not a long enough time to say hello. Their family friends. Kansas is still heavy—University Missouri.
BUT TREY CAME BACK.
The Husker came; the Husker went;
And, when he went, he took
Away with him a victory
He won it by the fearful count Of thirty-three to naught.
He won it while a single score The layhawk vainly sought.
But steadily across the floor The roller rolled along.
She (after a three-bagger)—Why man who throw the ball look so august.
And often through the valley rang The Jayhawk's noble song.
Poor Job. This!
If any grieving there was done

He—Of course, 'but the pitcher doesn't want the batter to hit it.
He—Because the batter got a hit.
She—But he threw the ball right to
him.
It was so very,very still That it was all unheard.
For he was thinking, "Wait a year,
Nebraska CAN be heat!
"Just admiring the beauties of nature."
That it was all unheard.

Funny
CAMPUS OPINION
How can the Kansan and the University authorities expect the students to work up any enthusiasm for keeping the campus - free from rubbish when the University Manage throws the old notice on the campus for the wind to remove at its leisure?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
K. U. students dress too much. Every one out over the state of Kansas says so. Because of the feeling that we are becoming nothing but fashioned demons of the Kansas citizens. A farmer from the western part of the state sends a boy down here, and in one short year, he has taken up the foibles of society to such an extent that he insists on wearing shoes and going barefoot as shoes polished. This is indeed a dreadful state of affairs, and is sapping the strength of the children of the state. The daughters come here to school to get learning and at once think that they will be amusing set on board all of the time.
Ted: How are you progressing in that little love affair of yours?
Communications must be staged as evidence of good faith but not justified and be published
**NOTICE**
It is time that something be done to remedy this state of affairs, so why not decide upon some simple yet effective uniform for wear on the Hill, while attending classes. Let the men wear boots. More formally, the women wear navy 'nautic' line of cowhide boots. They would express simplicity and virility. Students would look quite manly in them, striding over the campus. Blue gents pants, (away with the trousers—it smacks of snowbery) with black sateen shirts and a black vest, an *inexpensive* uniform. Ober's would be willing to get out a nifty little cap with ear laps, for use during the winter. Ties are only a cop to vanity and could very well be dispensed with. This uniform for the men of K. U. would put all men on an equally sensible sense should draw the admiration and the support of all the country.
Women are a little harder to handle, but a little a gift of gingham, or brilliantteen made straight from the leather. Women's Pasciniators are cheap, and easy to get. A sweater and woolen mittens would complete a very sensible winter garb, and there should be no problems. University that it could not please.
Dancing here at K. U. as every one knows, is undermining the morals of the student body. Why not adopt the games and entertainments in rural districts of Kansas. The good old parties with their kissin games are good enough for the sturdy women who are supporting this school, why not for their chilren? Away with the soul destroying and view of life, we need long buggy rides, far out into the country, with which our brothers and sister back home are amusing themselves. If these few changes were put into effect, the citizens of Kansas who are now so distasteful against this University would see an immediate and marked change in the character and appearance of the students of K. U.

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Meanwhile I'll just warm up a bit,
And chew some Tiger meat!"
The New York Sun recently sent out letters asking the presidents of the big educational institutions what they thought was wrong with the secondary schools and this one statement was emphasized in every letter;
1. If the subjects of instruction were fewer.
President Lyman P. Powell of Hobart College thinks that the preparatory and collegiate courses should be offered to college students for years. He holds that the schools that equip students to step from their graduation class to the University will need more.
3. If there were less attention to social activities, athletics and the secondary school, to be servile copies of what colleges are supposed to be. Simplicity of life and earnestness of purpose ought to characterize the secondary school.
2. If the time devoted to a given subject were longer in order that a more thorough grasp of that subject might be attained.
There are too many subjects of instruction in the secondary schools, say the big educators of the central eastern part of the United States.
On the question of the high school,
President Alliston Ellis of the University of Ohio gives the following
existing conditions as he sees them;
"There is nothing radically wrong with our high schools. They are just about what the people want them to put into practice, putting postes and bounds to the work of these schools than do college professors or even the high school instructors themselves. The high school course from their school is too many sided, thus leading to superficial scholarship. The high school, by attempting to do so much, is doing too little. The high school course needs the pruning knife used by a craftswoman as long as length in educational efforts. Fewer studies and these better taught and more intensively studied by the pupils suggest conditions that will develop mental power, more self-control, matters affecting one's personal welfare or the interests of society, church and state."
Just because something bears the stamp of college tradition is no proof of its virtue. A drunken debauchery after a football victory is considered the proper outlet of college spirit by some students, but the enlightened folk only smile. The Yale faculty, in ruling that intoxicating liquor must be barred from all club, emirates and after November 1, has done away with one of the blots of Yale club life.
A certain type of student, whose ideals are based upon a bottle of champagne and a chorus girl, has grown up around only Yale, but every other school where such a practice is tolerated. The Yale faculty has dealt this type a severe blow by its action, and other schools having the same practice do well to turn the situation around, searchlight and observe things as they are.
WHAT YALE HAS DONE
Legislation can never eradicate any evil, it can only guide the way, but public opinion of the campus, combined with a crusade of enlightenment, can do much to continue the good work of the Yale faculty and aid in the development of an education of college min, who has forgotten, or perhaps has never learned, the "why" of a college education.
"He didn't make the team." This is a recurring sentence in a poem which appeared recently in the Century magazine. It embodies the thought that success, acknowledged and seen, is not the only success. Or perhaps it is nearer the point to say that successes are built upon fail-
HE. LOST BUT WON
On the day of the final struggle, watching from the sidelines, he saw his team sweep, victorious, down the field and like a great illumination came the realization that they were winning because he and others had given all their effort to help make this amount of victory possible for his team and his school and then—he was not watching a victory, he was winning one.
"He didn't make the team." He dreamed of what it would mean. He gave every ounce of muscle and effort—but "he didn't make the team."
