The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students more than merely printing the news by standing for their opinions; they favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, so that the students of the University.

SHOW THE COLORS
SHOW THE COLORS
The banner waving above the south bleachers has been almost alone this year; few other colors have been seen on McCook Field. Perhaps the games have not been big enough, or perhaps there have been too few outside rooters to warrant wearing colors, but Saturday will nullify both conditions.
When Kansas and Nebraska trot upon the field every Kansan arm should bear a "k" band, and pennants and ribbons should wave until the south bleachers show as a bank of crimson and blue.
A HAND ACROSS THE WAY
The wearing of arm bands and the waving of pennants is one of the "little things," but as a material manifestation of spirit, it will make a big impression upon the visitors, the teams, and even upon the rooters themselves.
To have perfect health is to have a priceless possession, and one should always remember the wise old Latin proverb: "Mens sana in corporeano." A clean mind in a clean body.
All hail to the women of the University of Kansas for showing the new interest in athletics. Our women are making rapid strides, not only in basketball) but in other sports as well. This is the right attitude to maintain as it probably makes for more real endeavor among the students than any other phase of University life.
COARSE WORK
Students generally like to see a freshman pitched in a blanket, and the higher he it goes the better they like it, but most of them draw the line at the kind of treatment the first year man received at the game Saturday. Blankets are supposed to be held.
NOT AN AD—BUT RUBBER!
Rubber heels! They are handy for all people, at all places, at all times, but especially at the University of Kansas. They are very convenient when you have a late date, and are considerate enough not to want to disturb people by tramping through the house at midnight. When you come into class half an hour late, you can make your entrance less evident if you have rubber heels. Perhaps the reason that some instructors wear them is because they enable a teacher to be everywhere at once. One minute he may be in the front of the room, and the next thing you know he is beside you.
Rubber heels are not a recent invention, however. Remember that Macbeth crept softly upon Duncan with his rubber heeled boots, so that the sleeping king was not awakened. If Macbeth had not had on rubber
heels—no murder, and no play.
Looking further into history: Napoleon owed his defeat to the tardiness of his general, who became tired by the long tramp on his leather heels.
But rubber heels date back even farther than that. Remember that Mercury is always pictured as wearing wings upon his rubber heeled boots.
One convenient thing is that heels do not get punctured. What a blessing that is! Just think how very annoying it would be to have to stop half way up Adams and jack up, your foot to put on a blow-out patch.
NOT A PRIZE ALONE
Football and athletics have their places in college activities but it is a fine thing to see something which requires originality and individual effort of a different sort.
Someone will win the prize in the Play Contest. Of course it is trite to say that only one can win, and that the effort which anyone makes, whether he wins or loses, is a sufficient reward. But its triteness doesn't nullify its truth.
Fifty dollars is worthy of consideration; but so, too, are the rewards that the winner can't monopolize.
THE LITTLE THINGS
No one likes to be considered a person who is always behind time, yet there is far too little punctuality here in the University. Students come hurrying into class just in time to interrupt the roll call. Some especially daring students even come in five and ten minutes late. There are often unavoidable reasons for being late, but in most cases the students have been too negligent. It's the little things that count.
WITHOUT A RUDDER
If some one were to ask the average college student whether a ship could be successfully navigated without a rudder the answer made would probably contain some slight traces of veiled sarasam, as even the prow of a ship is known by the size of each ocean going vessel having some sort of arrangement by which the shoals and rocks may be safely avoided.
When the matter is given some serious thought, however, it is seen that some of us are like the ship putting out to sea without this most essential part, in that we have embarked on our college course possessing a knowledge as to the manner in which the preservice in the curriculum is to be accomplished. Instead of having a definite program worked out for the preparation of the lessons from day to day, a majority of us are content to follow the inclination of our desires at the particular time set aside for study. As a result the allotted task of this course will dilute sort of manner that is not waste of time, but is even detrimental to our later development.
A definite course is a mighty good thing to follow at all times. Think harder over, and see if the experiment goes on, or north trying out—Purdue Exponent.
Suppose some time today each of us gets off in a quiet corner for some ten or fifteen minutes, and with our schedule card work out a definite task. Then we prepare the preparation of this lesson; here and there put in five minute intervals that are to be given over to recreation, for play is an important work. In such construct the same plan that was used to take shreds of time produced in each day, and which, so often are thrown away as worthless. The results noted after a period of some weeks will be improved by taking stead of spending half of your time in wondering what to do next, the tasks will follow one after the other in logical sequence, and it will not be long until you will find time to act in a few outside activities without any detriment to your school work.
Another Wheat Parasite Found
A small black, four-winged insect with green and blue metallic reflections has been proclaimed the parasite which destroyed thousands of dollars worth of wheat in the northwestern United States. Common belief has been that the Hessian fly was doing the destructive work, but Herbert Howland a university of Kansas student, discovered this new insect on some wheat on his farm near Atwood last summer and sent it to the entomological natural College. On close investigation, the parasite was found to be the boll worm.

For still the Lord is Lord of might;
In deeds, in deeds, he takes delight;

He marks the smiler of the streets,
The singer upon garden seats;
He sees the climber in the rocks:

And bear the falling sky with ease,

In some cases the nickname really does show a feeling of camaraderie, but this can hardly be the case because they are so adept at taking the smirking, disrespectful tone that some students feel they must take in order to appear forward with fellows as "good people" and aspect for the faculty in their system.
CAMPUS OPINION
The spirit prompting the above editorial in the Ohio State Lantern was undoubtedly good. But "how does it sound to you?"
Spin the great wheel of earth about —R. L. Stevenson.
CRIMINAL OPINION Communications must be stated on evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.

We want a cheerleader. The girls of this University are going to get together and show the boys that we have just as much loyalty and enthusiasm as they have. We've got so much, that we've got to cheer them up and have a leader. Who ever heard of a rally without a cheerleader?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Mornin', 'Fessor,' in the favorite campus greeting. How does it sound?
The first quiz appears in history some time around 1910 B. C., when one Oedipus—not a candy store owner, by the way, but still a Greek
Now listen girls, show your pep, and call for a 'cheerleader tonight that will make things go.
The spectacle of a Roman mob consigning its victims to the lions is a pleasant sight compared with the spectacle of a science instructor crying. "To the quizzes with the students!"
**ANIMAL YOU KNOW**
All these animals are, the cow and the bad, and there are no good. The cuiz belongs to the genus Torture, sub-species Examination, and its habitat is everywhere. It is absolutely harmless unless it is held, when it becomes wild and ferulous. A professor can hold a quiz with no danger to himself, but the act excites the liveliest terror in the student. An instructor can inform a class that on Monday he will release a wild cat in the room, with the intention of scaring them; but the announcement that he will hold a quiz produces an appalling effect.
AN ANIMAL YOU KNOW
A Junior.
--hist a sphinx by the roadside.**
Sphinx is not quite the same thing as a giant monster in common. This sphinx, it seems, was acting as a toll gate at this particular point of the road, and permitted no one to pass without answering a certiorary question. And correctly, it was his last failure in this world. Oedipus got by.**
A quiz can be avoided temporarily, by taking another path on the occasion of its appearance, or it can be somewhat appeased by throwing to it some erumbus of genuine knowledge of the subject derived from conscientious study. Often, however, the quiz appears unexpectedly, and in that case the slaughter is tremendous. There is a class room and behind the professor holding a quiz, stroking it on the back and calling it pet names.
"A nickname is evidence of a most wholesome friendship. We never call a man by his nickname unless we have a true regard for him. There can be no hypocrisy lurking behind a nickname. There's a natural coolness in softness in Smith or Brow, but Smitty or Browie goes to the heart.
In its method of attack the quiz resembles the mule, the submarine and the laughing hyena. It exhibits the suddenness of the first, allows as much time to escape as the second, but milies while you expire, like the third.
USING NICKNAMES
Patry is not a sign of disrespect. President is an abstract expression which means nothing, but "Prexy" refers to someone who has a fellowship with it. Lots of faculty men have nicknames, but whether they like them or not, they mean more than a mere formal doctor, a lawyer, and they have the human touch.
The ancient sphinx has a modern prototype on the quiz. Yet it is exerted by a simple problem that puts him himself could meet a physics quiz and get by —Indiana Daily Student.
