The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate, but to go further than merely printing the book, he must University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to justify the students of the University. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1915. Bad crow, bad egg.—Proverb CROWDING THE PILOT One incident of Saturday's game should never occur on McCook Field again. It was the insistent demand to send one player into the game. All the crowd wanted, was to see the player perform. It forgot that the coach was running the team, that he knew the condition of his men, the need for their services, the advisability of using them. The crowd played the part of the insolent privates demanding that their officer follow their desires rather than his carefully laid plans. The incident was regretable and will surely never happen in another game. THE LITTLE THINGS He had hurried the short distance to his home, had eaten his luncheon more hurriedly, and then he had gone to the telephone and called his friend. At his friend's club a freshman left the table to answer the call; then the friend had to leave the table. All that was wanted was the loan of a book, something that was neither urgent nor highly important. But the student never thought. It's the little things that count. A BUSINESS MATTER Now comes the down-troddel banker of the college town with a plea that student accounts do not pay the cost of book keeping and at Cornell University the Ithaca banks have adopted a uniform check and forced students to buy them. Conditions have become so bad at Middletown, Connecticut, the seat of Wesleyan University, that the American Bankers Association has established an experimental students bank, to be operated by the students of the school under the supervision of the association. All over the country there are complaints from the bankers that students' patronage is a losing game because of the carelessness of the University people in regard to their accounts. Right here in Lawrence the bankers have similar troubles. They have attempted to solve the difficulty by using a model check that is a promissory note, to keep students from writing checks when they have no funds. Many worthless checks come back to the retail stores of the city every week, and, although most of them are made good subsequently, it necessitates a great deal of trouble for both the merchant and the banker. The proprietor of one student cafe has a half dozen checks on hands all the time stamped "no funds." The logical solution for this condition, of course, is to educate students to keep close track of their accounts and not write checks for more money than they have in the bank. The bankers are usually more than accommodating and the student body owes it to them to see to it that they get a square deal. The University man or woman who carries a check book and keeps a record of his or her account by means of the stubs, always knows just what balance is in the bank. Such people are cultivating business habits while they are in school. Are you? THE REFORMER The most intolerant of all persons is the reformer. Each apostle of progress divides the world into two parts, those who agree with him and those who do not. It is the simplest of all processes for him to separate the sheep from the goats for his rule is automatic and infallible. Those that agree with him, however chimerical his ideas may be, constitute the chosen and the elect while those who cannot see the light are apostles of the devil. In fact, to most reformers, there is but one world—the world of their own individual ideas—all else is chaos, a burning, sulphurous pit of devilish and reactionary ideas. The reformer almost invariably loses his perspective and sense of proportion in his hase for progress and forgets that reform even like charity should begin at home. What reformer has ever reformed himself, and yet it is only from that starting point that the public can be reformed in the most useless in the world except for the casual student, for in no practical manner does one generation or century learn anything before preceding ones. It might almost be said that the world progresses in spite of its progressive reformers. Every step in advance in religion comes in military action of those who militantly approve of those steps. So it has always been and so it still is—Cornell Sun. GROOMING THE FATTED CALP Now that the time for the Kansas game is drawing near and the Tiger's grow) is growing louder, the very air is getting more invigorating and it creates a sea which binds Columbia to "doll up," as the frowr of English puts it. Columbia's dress is pretty good as it is, with the many paved streets, rows of shade trees now in their glory and the occasional dog at the most tidy of us sometimes get a little mussed, whether we just sit around or romp boisterously. So Columbia should brush her dress and brighten it a little for the alumni who are coming back to see the Jay-Z concert as just anybody would for company. The University is doing its best, painting buildings and grading the campus in places, and will have an added attraction in the new gateway and drive to offer to returning prodigy students. Let's be raking the autumn leaves out of her way, but that is just like sewing a rip in her dress—necessary. Let's do more than that. A little decoration would help a lot. Anyway, somehow, you go small, so make something small, so make small, to help make Umbia's welcome to the visitors' Thanksgiving a big one—University Missouri. THE DREAMER "No man who does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise," said President Wilson in a speech in Philadelphia last summer. The quality of greatness includes the ability to dream, not of something impossible, but of something that may be attained by arduous effort. The ability to be scouted at, but the central figures of all history were men, who had the faculty of seeing beyond. The University of Virginia open the first school of journalism in the south. A gift of the reunion pioneers of the class of 1908 to the University made it possible for the department to be added. The college student who has no visions of the future, who can not dream of the possibilities for his lectures and assignments in his after-education years, may be called "hope" or "few high enterprises." —Ohio State Lantern. President Wilson is himself a dreamer, for if he had not been able to see visions of what would have happened if we had intervened in Mexico, or gone to war in Europe, where would this country be now? The world's greatest inventions were the work of dreamers, for what "practical man could have imbued with an understanding of air and the oceans as the dreamers, Edison, Bell, Marconi, Wright Brothers, Wyatt, and Fulton did?" FIRST IN THE SOUTH The practical work of the department will be the editing of the local evening newspaper, and courses such as history, journalism, and journalistic schools will be given there. As this work is entirely new in the south, Virginia feels she has taken a step beyond her sister states. CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent Editor of the Daily Kansan: For the benefit of those students who have never yet gone to chapel permit me to say that they are woe- less. I think they might mean as much, or even more than anything else on the Hill. It's so easy to take the other fellow's word for it, but let the "uninformed" man try it one week himself and he will doublelless find that he cannot afford to miss the other weeks. Some mighty good thoughts are given to us in these daily talks, besides the sense of fellowship which never fails to come to the one who goes with an open mind. I heard a fellow-student remark the other day, "well this has been one of my good friends," and I guess. Anyway, things looked different when I went to my 8:30." I felt the same way too. LIFE'S TRAGEDIES N. K. In the drama of life the tragedies are represented by the grocery clerk whom circumstance has kept from being a bank president, by the minister who would make a better politician, by the soldier who should have been a scholar, by the professor who failed to see that he was made for Wall Street. "The triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong into the triangular, and the square person has squeezed himself into the round hole," as a nineteenth-century essayist puts it. The same tragedy occupies the front stage of college life. Men are training themselves for the law, when they should be engineers. Agriculturists are being graduated but many are not. But the greatest tragedy of all is the student who is wasting the formative period of his life in "having a good time," "seeing life," "broading out" in that which only narrows. His place is not in the college but some place where the value of money and the worth of experience can be forcibly demonstrated every day. He, worst of all, has squeezed into the wrong-shaped hole.

To Help Women Choose Vocation History You Should Know It is the purpose of the association to assist the women in deciding upon their vocation and also to help them acquire an excellent openings for college graduates and the only thing is to get the women in touch with them. Miss Alice Winston, president of the Collegiate Alumnae Association, will probably give out plans of the college's new initiatives among the freshman women in a week. The University of Kansas football team played its first game with Nebraska in November, 1892, at Lincoln, winning by the score 12 to 0. First Game With Nebraska Women who have been graduated from the University in the past and did not wish to become teachers have had the opportunity to know what to do to earn a livelihood. According to the sport writers of that day it was a good game because the players were in slugging, and there was no slugging." Following is a brief account of the first encounter taken from the University of Michigan students' Journal, dated Nov. 17, 1892. In the twenty football games played between these two teams since 1892 the Crimson and Blue has been the winner eight times and the Cornhuskers twelve. It is a matter of record that no game in this time has ever resulted in a tie and only one was won by a margin of one point. "The K. S. U. team played their second game of the Inter-State Tournament this weekend at the State University eleven at Lincoln, Nebraska last Saturday, and as usual, came all victorious—but it was our team's first taste of our team has had this year." The game was very exciting—there was no slugging and both teams were in a good humor from start to finish." "Over on the east side of the field a delegation from Doane College had taken their stand and the way they yelled for Kansas indicated that they had an old grudge against the Nebraska. "It was a most disagreeable day for a game. A high wind, in fact, hit the turbines and broad prairies of Nebraska, bearing with it clouds of dust which nearly blinded both the players and spectators. The grounds were in a bad state." "The Nebraska team being on the home ground was the favorite, and naturally the team lost." The Nebraska and the college's wells of Nebraska were more conspicuous than the Crismon and Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K.
