The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students in so far further than merely printing the course notes on the University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help them study at university, to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9,1915.
COME YE BACK
The greatest of faults, I should say,
is to be conscious of none. Carlyle.
Sure, Kipling's thunder is sacred,
but it is no whit derogatory to say
Come ye back, ye old alumnus,
Come ye back to Oread.
Come ye back to Oread, where
the students free and glad
Are shouting out a Rock Chalk
and welcoming the grad.
Then some one can finish it, some one can criticize it, some one can disown it, but despite all, the truth will out, and Friday will see the poem in life.
Come ye back, ye old alumnus, for this year a welcome is awaiting you. Every student wants to see you, and the seniors have declared themselves your special hosts. They are going to help you to get back into the old game with all your friends, to get back without feeling conspicuous or like an interloper. Friday night after the big rally in the Gym they are going to march with you to the Eagles' Hall and there smoke the pipe of peace and victory—the corn cob.
THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFIED
Then come ye back to Oread—and get here Friday if you possibly can. It's our Homecoming, you know, and 'tis said the fatted calf has fed well on the cornhusks of Nebraska, so the prodigals will have to help prepare the feast.
Yes, Friday night, November 12. Mount Outce in Lawrence.
Waste paper is a nuisance around your home. No use to get your room all 'cattered up with the stuff; bring it up on Mount Oread and throw it on the grass by Green Hall. Some Law might pick it up and learn something. Thus you will be doing a service to the University, and not destroying something useful.
If Green Hall is not handy, drop it by Fraser or Marvin. Mr. Shea, the superintendent of buildings and grounds, would be ultra delighted if all the students would save their waste paper to distribute around the campus. A beautiful snow-scene effect may be attained. Our campus is splendid in winter, and we can have the same effect the year around if the students are willing to work to secure it.
Down with the waste-basket! Let the campus be beautified!
"2500—NO LESS"
Old K. U. is going to be given two crucial tests before the eyes of exact observers. One of these tests will take place on McCook Field Saturday afternoon, when Olcott's Jayhawks line up against the mighty Cornhuskers from the north. That will: be a test of science and brawn.
Far more important than this is the test of spirit. Friday night is set aside for a big rally. More than a thousand old grads will be in town
that night before the Missouri Valley Conference battle and some of them are going to walk into the Gym in a half-cynical mood. They will have a critical, hard-to-please attitude toward the pep meeting.
And we can't blame them. They read papers and they will come back to old K. U—the school that they still love—wondering if it is all true about Jayhawker spirit being squelched. They will come back expecting to find a little fire when there has been so smoke.
We can, however, fool them. Twenty-five hundred of us can pile into that old Gym and burst out its sides. Twenty-five hundred of us can yell that old "Rock Chalk" as they used to do it back in "the good old days." Twenty-five hundred of us can make those old grads sit up and take notice and want to fight anybody that says K. U. hasn't that "pep of vore."
"Twenty-five hundred—No Less."
That's the big cry for the Nebraska rally Friday night.
ALL IN A NUTSHELL
It is a very small word, only three letters, and yet it calls many, many things to the mind—Nut. Nuts that grow on trees and bushes such as pecans, hickory nuts, hazel nuts; nuts that are made to hold Fords and other things together and last of all the great American nut that walks, talks, lives and breathes.
Indeed it is an important word that can remind one of all these things. And they are important things too, for what could we do without nuts? What tastes better at a baseball game than the peanut? What helps more to give to the old fashioned taffy its delicousness than the walnut? What would take the place in the mechanical woo'd of the iron and steel nuts and what is more important, in its own estimation, than the great American nut?
Ah yes, the nut is an important factor in this gray old world of ours.
DO IT NOW
One can not be reminded too often of the importance of guarding himself from acquiring the habit of procrastination. This condition is truly a habit, one so easily formed that it becomes difficult to firmly to escape when we realize it. In the University, where there are many varieties of activities to distract the student from his necessary duties, it is a trying task for one unacquainted with conditions to govern him, which he owes to each of his duties.
In psychology, we have learned that the best time to do a thing is the time when our attention is called to it. It is at least fifty percent easier to answer a question than to fresh in mind than to put it off till the last of the time granted for its completion. When we attempt to answer that letter received two weeks ago, how cold it sounds, and we really felt the time we read it may be to reply, but it was cast aside till a more convenient time was found.
How infinitely easier would it be or all of us, and how much difference would we notice in our semester report cards, if every one would intrusively go to work with a firm determination to destroy this cruel memory, procrastination—I'd di n a n daily Student.
THRU THE PERISCOPE
Just when we are struggling beneath quizzes, Homecomings, the Nebraska game, and the Missouri game, some one adds the fatal straw by questioning whether the University seal is artistic.
Our grandchildren may never get close enough to Haskell to see an Indian but they can always read about those being on the warpath in Utah.
Our idea of a dead-game sport is a man who won a $25 pot with a ten cent contribution, but instead of making the trip to the game, slayed at home and bet the money against his own team.
Send out an S. O. S. for some aldermen; the Cunard line has refused to ship 900 Irishmen to the United States.
Hi Speed does not know much about either business or temperature, but he declares that a ten weeks summer school will be a hot proposition.
While discussing whether we shall sing Crimson and the Blue slower or faster, let's not forget to sing it!
If England does not give us that free sea, the United States will call her something indefensible and stand up for the rights of neutrals in a harrowing word of words, which will end sometime after the issue is dead.
"How I love to go down and see those good friends and wander about the dear old campus and walk again the beautiful streets of Lawrence. Someway it made me come home last night and sit down with thoughts like this."
A loyal co-eed of the middle 'Sons,
Mrs. F, C. Channon (Fannie Pratt),
of Topeka, after a day on the campus
and wrote the following to a friend:
You don't outgrow
Those times, you know
Those grand old times
In Lawrence
IN LAWRENCE
There's the lesson "Layengro."
No person too humble, no minute too valueless, always new worlds to encounter.
Where you were sent
On study bent
To old K. U.
Jr. Lawrence
But some are said
To lose his head
While studying
In Lawrence.
For old K. U.
With it's grand view
From Oread
"The great man is he who does not lose his child-heart."—Mencius.
Read "Lawnspo," read "Romany Rye," if you care too, but remember the lesson of George Borrows.—Ohio State Lantern.
In Lawrence
Makes you aspire
To something higher
Than perfect grades
In Lawrence.
You think it was long for more
Of those good times
In Lawrence.
Thoughts come and go.
For did you know
There's NO place quite
Like Lawrence.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith. Forms will be published without the writer's consent.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
How easy it is to find a person at the University. If you don't know his telephone number or his street address all you have to do is to go to the o'd student directory, look it up and, if the person was in school last year, you will find the information you want and then all you have to do is to call that number and find that the student has not been invited. If it is you are looking for, you don't find the name at all. Oh yes, it is certainly very convenient. Now most Universities have a student directory which gives all this information and this directory is gotten out in a reasonable length of time. Why is it that Kansas has to wait for such a directory? School systems usually send you a message and you still have to go to the registrar's office to learn the address of a person whom you wish to find. Let's have a little action.
The effort to have a woman cheerleader seems to have failed. Why? Of course, it is quite evident that the women's section wouldn't make a noise like the one Gaitzkill and his obedient leg sennd rolls down the valley. The enemy might even fail to tremble at the sound and the crowd would probably be augmented, only slightly. But there is another viewpoint. Someone seems to have discovered that perhaps the women, as well as the men, have some patriotism which seeks expression in the accepted way; that possibly their enthusiasm will be used sometimes to be times when even the women feel they must cheer. In any case, a leader would help.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Impatient.
A Woman
A TRAMP'S LESSON
you, college man and woman.
You don't know George Borrows?
That is not unusual, for how could the greatest tramp in literature stand out? The "itemchor" of the twentieth-century magazines and best sellers.
University Concert Course
George Borrow has a 'lesson' for
college man and woman.
George Borrows knew more diactes, more languages, than any other man. The gypseys named him "Lavengro," matter of words. There was a difference in how he could not speak. Yes, his gypsey stories, his carefree optimism, his democracy, which thought more of the campfires of the road than the knee breezes of court, are valuable, George Borrow's lesson is not only in them.
No Welsh porter was too obscure but what George Borrows cultivated his friendship, and thus added another dialect to his philological attainments. No London cocker牛 was more adept than any other god, got his life history and another dialect. In his spare time, and it was all spare time with him, for he was always on the road with his gipsy friends, he mastered 'anguages. For there was no time waited with George Borrows. He was always in the work, and he died the only "Lavengro" the world has ever seen.
