The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing; by standing on the board, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be funny; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to enrich the education of the students of the University.

"War has its laws no less than peace."—Livy.
VICTORY!
A successful season!
Although we have lost two games and, although one of those defeats was so decisive that there was no question about the superiority of the winning team, the Jayhawkers put themselves on the right side of the leider Thursday when they curled another knot in the tail of the Missouri Tiger in Columbia.
The University played eight games this season and won six of them by scores that left no question about the ability of the Kansans to play that old college game. On a hard field, playing under climatic conditions which were strange and disadvantageous, they lost to Bennie Owen's Sooners, allowing them to leave the gridiron with a lead of nine points But there was no bitterness in that score.
But Nebraska!
Well, "Jumbo" had one of the classiest gridiron organizations of the country. They deserve every point made in their game with the Jay-hawkers.
Of course, the most satisfying part of the whole season was the last ten days. After suffering defeat and injuries at the hands of Chamberlin, Rutherford, et al, the team CAME BACK.
But another large knot has been tied in the tail of that Tiger from the "Show-Me" state and Coach Olecott and his Jayhawkers have come to the end of a successful season.
And it was a real comeback, too. Everything outside of real football was against Kansas last Thursday on Rollins Field. The Tigers got all the breaks of luck and had the condition of the turf with them. Had there been a dry field, well—it was pretty muddy down there, that's all.
HEAR HIM
Norman Angel, the Twentieth century leader of the peace movement talks in Fraser hall tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. It is a privilege to hear him.
One of the best parts of the University curriculum is the opportunity to hear talks by the men who are guiding the world today. They have messages worth while, for they themselves have done something worth while. Mr. Angel is best known for his book, "The Great Illusion." He is one of the best informed men on preparedness and its relation to the country's welfare.
JUST WHY?
Why are we in College? No doubt many of the students enrolled at the University of Kansas cannot for the life of them tell how they happened to get here.
A few college publications have been trying to get this question answered, but after it is answered what
good will have come of it? They all miss the mark. Now that we are here, the thing to do is not to worry about how we happened to get here but to justify our coming.
It is not expected that a high school graduate should have any definite theories of life worked out or that he should try to find a reason for his existence. It is hard to believe that very many came because they were imbued with lofty ideals to "serve humanity" or because of a "passion for learning."
But yet, after one has matured to a full-fledged University student of one or two years, he might as well begin to look around him and find out what it is all about and to discover the particular niche into which he fits. If a man or woman has reached his junior year and has not awakened to a purpose, he or she had better wake up.
It matters not how we happened to get here. The thing is to discover that we really are here.
Then ask, "Why?"
THOUGHTS UNEXPRESSED?
At times we see groups of students collected on the campus, in the halls, any place where a little talking may be done and the one who has an idea to express or something rousing to say—a plan to help along college spirit, or student activities, or a "knock" on something the student body isn't willing to stand for, or any one of the many things that the whole student body is interested in—says it to his half-dozen listeners and finds some satisfaction in having expressed himself. Then he proceeds to forget that there is an easy way to "say his say" to several hundred people who are very likely to be interested. The questions of college life that interest one student, it is reasonable to suppose, are likely to find a response when expressed to the whole body. Just now, certain remarks which have been made about school spirit are hotly resented by a large part of the students. Yet hardly a word publicly from the students to show that such resentment exists.
If it's a good idea, cooperate. Why not pass it on? The Daily Kansas has a "Campus Opinion" column. It is for everybody in this University community to use.
TRY IT ONCE!
Unity is the thing which makes every community grow. There is always an appeal to the townspeople to "trade at home." Buying from the merchants in the town is the thing which makes improvements possible and promotes the feeling of cooperation.
We have a chance to apply the same principle in this University community. Nearly every week-end there is a dance. Out-of-town musicians are brought in at great expense when home talent with as much ability can be hired at a smaller cost. J. C. McCanles, director of the University band, says there are fellows in the band and orchestra who are trying to pay their way through school who could render as good music for dances and entertainments as the ordinary type of imported musician.
Through ignorance, we waste our money and cast a barrier in the way of those who are trying to make for unified action. We are "buying from mail-order houses."
Let's quit it. Let's "buy at home." The next time we are figuring on a dance or other entertainment, let's call up Mac and ask him for the names of some of his best musicians. Give the men in our own school, who are helping themselves get an education, a chance. "Unity" means as much in this University community as in a city.
All is bright when the lamp of love is burning, but it some job to find another match when the light goes out.
Try it.

The settlement of the claims of the citizens of Ardmore, Oklahoma against the Santa Fe railroad without the help of the customary courts and law, in the settlement of damage claims by a railway company.

In the place—ah! well a day!
The discussion about the seating arrangement at the banquet was in progress in the privacy of a committee meeting. We were all at the committee had the advantage of the "outsiders" and realized it. At the proper moment, if there could be a proper moment for such a remark, I announced to the assembly that she's not a friend but put me, just so you don't put me by that Miss She's the worst snob I ever knew and positively intolerable. Then recovering composure, "Oh, I hope she's not a friend but I wanted a wise friend who wanted to get the full benefit of my lesson, but she's Mrs.'s cousin!" Mr. Mrs. sat next
Without a single meeting of the commission, 916 of the claims were satisfactorily furnished to the remainder of the 1,275 will be a matter of time.
Immediately after the explosion on an oil tank in the Santa Fe yards at Ardmore, which caused a property loss of a half million dollars in damages to 350 persons and the death of forty-three, President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe accepted liability of all damage claims for his company. The company further agreed to abide without appeal on the estimate of the citizens commission as to the amount of damages to be allowed each claim.

Word comes from London that Lord Derby's plan of inviting men to join the colors before conscription has everywhere met with great success.

We find the thing we fled—Today.
During the course of an evening a new acquaintance (note the word "new") and myself had struck up an interesting conversation about school teaching experiences in district schools. As a result he brought out a number of pictures, one of which was designated "I taught." I looked at the picture I saw in the face of one youth, what I considered a very purposeful, determined expression. Consequently, I remarked, "Now, that boy there looks as though he would 'do things' sometime. I like his looks," and glancing up to hear the name of the boy giving me a controllable mirth on the face of my companion. I looked at him with a "why are you laughing" sort of expression and he said, "That is the teacher."
THEY HAVE THE SPIRIT
A few minutes before the library closed the other evening I noticed a girl, with whom I had become more or less intimate, seated with her back to us, over in a deserted corner of the room. Wishing to chat with her a while I tipped over and gently pulled her little ear. A visage that I had never seen for months now, I needed it to apologize but it was of no use. I have disguised ever since but am living in mortal dread of that face which haunts me in my dreams.
No matter what the occasion, he was ever on time.
I attributed it to my hurry. My friends said it was my absent-mindedness. Anyway when I found myself walking down the main street of Chicago, I saw on a bench on no shirt, I was much embarrassed, I hated to spend a dollar for a shirt but it was necessary. I am still thankening the friend who told me of how important it is for I not know what might have happened if I gone any farther.
The many rumors to the effect that British Subjects were fleeing the country to avoid compulsory military service, have been found to be without foundation. Carefully compiled statistics show that the number of men between 18 and 45 who left England and during the twelve months ending September 30, numbered but a third of the number prior to that period.

There was once a man who was a' ways late.
