The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students more than merely printing, the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be humble; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to recognize and satisfy the needs of the University.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1915.
After the war, aid.—Proverb
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT."
Tomorrow The Team will play the last game before the big battles of the year. The Team is crippled, but it should be able to annihilate the Washburn Ichabods if properly supported from the bleachers. Let's give it that support. Washburn was never beaten without a good fight and it will not be this year, but it must be beaten and every student's place is in the bleachers, shouting the "Rock Chalk."
"TROMPED ON"
Yesterday the Daily Kansan was landed on "with all four feet" for printing a communication which questioned the University's spirit. "Why did you print it?" a score of people demanded, "It is untrue and it is surely against the paper's policy to knock the team." Both facts are conceded.
When one has a splinter in his ear lobe it is rarely a good plan simply to ignore it and say it is not there. Usually it is better to yank it out, even if there is temporary discomfiture. That is the case in point. And if there are any more wooden heads who are excreting "pitch, tar and turpentine," let's find them. We will see how serious the complaint is.
THE LANGUAGE FIRST
The result of yesterday's diagnosis? Well, nothing ever sounded much better than those "trompings." One man "got up on his ear" in print and his cogitations are in the Campus Opinion column just to the right. Read what he says for he knows whereof he speaks. He has the true University spirit, the kind the Daily Kansas is backing until time rings down the curtain.
It has been announced by the committee of instruction in the Public Schools of Pittsburg, Pa., that a new course in English, covering a period of twenty weeks, will be introduced there.
This course will be primarily for those persons who wish to apply for their naturalization papers and contains a study of all the principles of the English language. The names of such prospective applicants will be furnished by the Federal authorities in order that the schools may get in touch with them.
This is a notable advance in the right direction and one wonders why the step was not taken long ago. That the movement had its birth in Pittsburgh, and not in Boston, is a matter of deep reproach to the Hub
OUR IDLE HOME FOLKS
The Missouri Club has organized with the purposes of bringing students to Mount Oread and promoting the welfare of the University outside the college sphere. One other such organization, the Oklahoma Club, is in existence here.
These clubs have a peculiar significance. They were organized by students from without the state and have started their work early in the year while the students from Kansas are idle. Besides starting early, they begin with a spirit which will insure some good work, if not the full realization of their ideals.
The students from within the state organized an entire system of county clubs last year, with the same purposes and ideals, but where are those county units or the inter-county council? So far, only two clubs have held meetings.
But now is the time for the county clubs to begin their work, which is more important than that of the state organizations and should be fostered with twice the enthusiasm. It is time for the clubs to awaken and lay their plans for the year. Mr. President of last year, call a meeting, elect new officers and start the ball rolling.
THE LITTLE THINGS
There is a class in the University, composed of about fifteen members which meets in a lecture room having nearly a hundred seats. Until last week the students used all to sit in the corner of the room farthest from the professor's desk and at every meeting he had the doubtful pleasure of having to talk in a loud voice in order to make them hear. In front of him there was a desert of vacant seats and in the corner sat the students, huddled in a small crowd, as if for mutual protection.
But one day last week some of the members happened to think that the instructor might enjoy the class more if they would move up near his desk and act as if they were not afraid of him. They tried it and the professor thanked them for their trouble. Since that time the class has been more interesting for everybody. It's the little things that count.
FIRES SHOT FOR TEAM
The following article, signed by John Gleisner, K. U., 16, replying to the criticism of T. Davenport Smith, applauding the Kansas City Post of November 2.
Lawrence, Kas., Nov. 2—Every autumn, just about the time the Jayhawker football team is in the middle of the season and going well, graduates of the University come forth with the declaration that the students lack the spirit of the good old days and that the team has lost the fight that it had when the school was younger. Their observations, while no doubt actuated by the best of motives, and an earnest desire to do good to the school, are made at long distance and from hearssay and are very rarely accurate. And their opinions, so freely expressed, harm the institution they are presumed to benefit.
Last year a campaign, wholly unmerited, was waged in the columns of a Kansas City paper. This year Tom Smith, whom everybody knows at Kansas, and respects for his deeds of valor in '99, came forth with an interview that hurt the undergraduates more than anyone can know.
Kansas students have never lacked loyalty. Perhaps they have at times lacked means of making it known in the most efficient way. They have not always been able to herald to the world what was in their hearts—but it has been there, none the less. I speak as a student, who knows what students say among themselves, and knows what they think.
The faculty doesn't 'dampen spirit. Of course, there are a few pedantic intellects whose life is a round of classes and books, whom nothing short of an earthquake would startle from their set paths. But most of them are heart and soul with the team. Several times this year
Loyalty Still There
The team will fight and fight until the final whistle blows. And few realize how deeply a defeat can go. After the Nebraska game last year I saw one man, a great big hulk of a man, weep like a child, when he thought he was alone and unobserved, because, when he played with every fibre of his being, as did his teammates, he had not been able to stop the terrible onslaught of the Nebraskas. It wasn't himself he was thinking of it was that he had seen them on the field, hurt, when they should have been in bed, fighting with tears binding their eyes, for the honor of the school they represent. And then to say they lack the spirit—it isn't fair, and it hurts and is discouraging.
The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Mornings at seven;
Mornings at dawn; beethed;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
All's in her heels;
All's right with the world!
Browning
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
CAMPUS OTION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
I desire to hand "Seeker After Truth," who says that many things support "Cossin" Tom's" statement that K. U. spirit is dead, a few truths.
Truth," who says that many things support "Cussin' Tom's" statement that K. U. spirit is dead, a few truths, if lack of school spirit looses games, not Notre Dame, Texas University, and all the other schools defeated by Nebraska and Oklahoma. School spirit helps us team, but a good team helps school spirit. Doubless in "Cissin' Tom's" day K. U. did have tremendous spirit, but an all-victorious team is enough to give any school plenty of spirit. Nebraska and Oklahoma have wonderful teams.
If the alumni truly want to help, and there can be no doubt that they do, the best method is not by complaint, but by boosting. Herman Olcott has built a good team this year, his first. Under his contract he has two more years. With united support he can accomplish wonders.
The howling mob that gave the team its Oklahoma send-off certainly had the pep. And aided by that pep the team put up an excellent fight. That one hundred men turned out at 6 o'clock Sunday morning to greet the team speaks well for school spirit, "If Seeker After Truth" seeks a little truth from other campi, he will find that, K. U.'s spirit ranks well in front. We have a good team. We have excellent school spirit. Having good cheer leading (which was not the caste last year) the games Nov. 13 and 25 will prove this. Watch for the Q. D. U.'s coming.
Write It to Campus Opinion.
Seeker After the Whole Truth.
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
I read with interest the communication in Tuesday's Kansan in regard to a girl's debating team, and I would like to say "them my sentiments." I have talked to several girls and they seem to think it would be a success. We had almost as much interest in girl's debating as in men's at the school I attended last year, and I certainly was surprised to find that there was not even a girl's debating club, much less a team, in the University. I talked with some of those in charge when I first came here, and they will do all they can to help us start a club, or a team if we show that we are interested in it. If we cannot have a team and real debates, we could at least start with a club, and have debates at our meetings. I think we could work up some interesting inter-class debates. Let's hear what the rest of us think about this. It rests with us.
R. G. K.
Kansans have been accused of not knowing how to accept a defeat with stoicism. It is from the ranks of the alumni, and not from the undergraduates that the complaint comes when a better team than Kansas, and a worthy foe, succeeds in winning, and it is alumni who start a fruitless attempt to place the blame. Usually it winds up by an accusation that the pep is gone, and the fighting spirit of the good old days.
Harmony of colors and satiatory effects are achieved by the women at the University of California, who having their choice of six different colors of ice cream at the women's counter, invariably find it to be the most flavor, but for the shade which will match the dress they are wearing.
ICE CREAM SHADES
What a fine idea for Kansas to copy. If the color of the ice cream and the dress, worn by the women in the room, meet it will help on the companion or escort.
the students have gathered for rallies after midnight and discipline of any sort has gone to the winds. And never a word do they say even when the rallies verge on riots. They are silent because they fear they will dampen the arder of the enthusiasts.
Fixing the Blame
Pistachio for example will blend tunefully with the present shade of green sweaters. Vanilla ice cream would go well with a plain blue dress to carry out the lines of simplicity while strawberry would set off the plain white gown. Colors which have won popular attention in the far west and are bruised as suggestions are bruised strawberry, orange and the sundae of cherry. Chocolate has been discarded because of its somber hue.
