The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and speaking; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful, to be to calm; to be a learner; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to make sure that they identify the students of the University.
THURSDAY, NOV. 18, 1915
The greatest reward for what we have accomplished is the privilege of going on.
NOT YET. NEBRASKA!
NOT YET. NEBRAKS.
Should Nebraska be allowed to play a post-season game with the University of Washington?
That is the question that is bothering athletic directors in all the schools of the Missouri Valley Conference. There is a ruling that no member of the Conference shall play more than the usual number of games and that no post-season games shall be scheduled.
Just because "Jumbo" has a great machine and thinks he can pilot it to victory over the Washington boys is no reason why the ruling of the Conference should be thrown into the scrap heap. Nebraska has a great team, one of the best in this section of the country, but Missouri Valley Conference rules should hold on all occasions.
Kansas athletic directors are of the opinion that the request of the Cornhuskers should not be granted unless at a meeting of the Conference in an assembly where the ruling can be talked over and voted upon. If the section pertaining to post-season games is rescinded, then Nebraska can do as she pleases; but if it is kept as a part of the rules, it should be lived up to under any and all circumstances.
THE LITTLE THINGS
He was a professor, and known for his scholarly habits, and she was only a student, but nevertheless this really happened. She was to have a prominent place on a program which he was unable to attend, and he made an effort to speak to her and tell her that he was sorry that he would have to miss it. A little thing for him, yes, but a big thing for her. It's the little things that count.
A REAL NEED
Owing to the training in fire drills, the children in the School of Mines building at Weir City, which was totally destroyed by fire lately, were all saved. They marched out of the building in orderly fashion.
Not looking for trouble,—but a fire in one of our smaller buildings might teach a little lesson. Half of us don't know where the fire escapes are. We haven't had a fire drill in years. We don't know the shortest route out of each room in a building to the outside. We should be like a crowd of factory girls if a fire alarm should sound tomorrow morning in Fraser Hall. One or two of us would start in one direction and the others would follow like sheep, leaving perhaps a safe means of escape behind. There is a possibility that you or your room mate would meet death tomorrow morning if Fraser Hall or the Chemistry Building should catch fire.
Why not a fire drill once in a while? Our buildings are made of
perishable stuff like others all over the country and a flame started in one of them would spread just as it does elsewhere. The danger is one that is met in a systematic manner at many American universities and in all large and well-regulated high schools.
Why not here?
WHOA! EASY THERE!
We Americans live and think too much in the superlative degree; we reserve nothing for the morrow. To us every beautiful sunset is the most beautiful we can imagine; we suffer the most extreme agony; and have the most disgusting experiences. As a result we are keyed up constantly to the highest pitch. If we expect anything from the morrow, no one would guess it from our manner of living. It is true that this characteristic lends a buoyancy to our national character, but it may also make nervous wrecks out of future generations.
College students especially live in the superlative. Trying to get the most out of each passing second, we exaggerate everything we do. Work, if difficult, is terribly difficult, and if comparatively easy, it is a perfect snap. Each day to people living in this manner can only be a repetition of the day before. Nothing better or worse could possibly occur. The result is that when anything better does happen we have no expressions left to describe it.
KICK OUT GRAFT
KICK OUT GRAFT "No Graft."
Fine stuff. Surely glad to hear it, if students cannot organize and accomplish a few things without a few of the leaders deriving some "honey" as a result, our educational system is running on a flat tire. Every time somebody starts a decent movement, about fifty per cent of the students back up, look slyly at the man in the lead and think he is going into it for some renumeration. Nobody seems to be willing to give anybody else credit for doing anything with an unselfish motive.
"It is with greatest pleasure," etc, etc., that we read that student organizations have been cleared of the various charges of graft made against them.
Politicians sadly remark: Yes, wire-pulling might be a good thing if one were only sure of not being struck by the Barbs.
Flotsam and Jetsam
"I do not know the young lady next door personally," began K. N. Ocker, well known pessimist of Gloomy Gap, Dependency county, State of Melancholy. "As a woman I have been by her immediate friends as one of Heaven's fairest jewels. But as a neighbor she certainly does not assay very much to the long ton. She is obsessed with the idea that St. Cecelia had direct charge of the room; the sun conceals no secrets from her. Daytimes, when all the people of the vicinity are immune from trivial noises and wierd sounds, does this young lady indulge in her pentchant for summoning the spirits of the sun well known sunset occur and the evening repast disappeay and it begins. Tum-ti-tyidii-ti-tum-te-em. How that fendish sound pursues me. I walk down town to the rhythm of it. adapt my conversation with you, then a day a came into my store and asked for a spool of black thread, number fifty. The night before had been particularly unpleasant and all my actions that morning were performed in imbimile pentchant. I went to a day a came into my store and asked for a spool of black thread, number fifty. and black I think is the rule." My wife informed me this evening that it was being nailed aboard that I was drunk yesterday. I was—with harmony."

You'd better look about;
You tiger, you have lots to do
To win the Kansas bout.

"Nope. I have been talking hush stuff to a deaf man."—Yale Record
My room mate is cranky and silly.
My board is the worst in the town.
The school is going to the billy.
All life seems a dull murky brown.
THE STUDENT'S WAIL
I hate the worth and say
I'm sick of the rush and tarmoll.
It's been ages since I felt jolly.
My temper's as sore as a boil.
I want to play and be happy,
To taste of the poor student's joys,
To flit off down to the movie,
With one or two of the boys.
My plight is sad and most dreary, I'll never again gain in trim. To keep up with the fun of the students.
"You'll have to quit smoking" sai he physician.
For I've still got eight cuts in gym.

CAMPUS OPINION
Enthusiasm is a commendable thing, a natural thing and a thing to be encouraged, but when enthusiasm is strained to its limit and oversteps its bounds it becomes ribald and vulgar. That was the effect produced when a few University girls helped to disguise women to enter in an event might pass into the girls' rally. The appearance of men at a woman's rally was not a vulgar thing in itself. There was no moral reason why men should not be present. But for men to appear in women's clothes was a trick that savored of high school. When men and women have reached a certain level enough to enter a university it seems to be expected to be old enough to leave behind them the petty, ridiculous stunts that they might have performed in high school. A perverted sense of humor often leads many airy astray.

Editor of the Daily Kansan;
"Then you'll have to stop drinking."
You have heard of masked beauties, haven't you? Well. K. U. has some this year,—only they are not women, or even beauties, except in their own opinion, but black vells, but shellured eye glasses. They are to be found on any of the men, from freshmen to the younger men of the faculty. They are very becoming to some, but the opposing group is distinguished, "foreign" and blase. They give an air of mystery to their possessor. You never can tell what he is thinking. It is rather handy for the bashful professor, who can see the ceel of his pupils by reading of his words. Then for the dignified one, it is also hardy. He can have a twinkle in his eye, without letting his pupils know that he is human, when some absurd remark is made.

But, let's be Americans. Disrusted.
LOYALTY
"None but taking medicine." Washington Star.
Press agency does not serve its purpose. Give the people a clean, accurate picture of the University as it is. They are due it and require it. The University has merit, and no one will deny that it has such in abundance, then let it stand upon this merit. If the teachings of the University are right, and if the ideas of the teachers are good, then when the students are well-educated, The University is right, and its merits will eventually withstand pre-judicial criticism—The Daily Texar
What is loyalty to the University? To some it is superficial concealment of any idea, doctrine or occurrence, that in itself might arouse opposition or criticism. To others it has a broader and purer significance, and means open and frank representation of the University as it is, good taste and propriety being the only bounds.
"I don't drink." "Have you any habits?"
Which sort of loyalty, as a theoretical proposition, commends itself most strongly to the conscientious, sincere well-wisher of the institution and to the true advocate of that which it represents—the incubation of correct thought and experience to live its compensation which will ultimately avail? The last, since it is based upon truth and positiveness.
"I don't smoke."
The University is expected to be the seat of new ideas and of advanced thought. It should be the sponsor of progress. It is expected to teach the people something. It not, then, why have it? The more the college of the University, the more they will talk about it, and the more they will seek to know about it. Even sincere opposition is not to be avoided. The University owes it to the State to overcome such opposition—to teach the State make the most of it. The more helps the State which founded the University as an aid. After all, the State is the important thing.
