The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the student's University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to ensure the students of the University.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1915.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. - Diogenes.
BEGIN TONIGHT!
The University Concert Course will be opened tonight by Mme. Frances Alda, one of the world's great sopranos. This series of musical entertainments is offered by the University and is therefore much cheaper for the student than the usual concerts by the same artists.
But cheapness is a minor consideration in appraising the worth of the Concert Course. Music and appreciation of music are coming to be more largely recognized by a matter-of-fact world as one factor of a good education and the man or woman who wants to be well-rounded has no better opportunity to hear exceptional music than here.
Appreciation of music, art or any branch of learning is most easily acquired while one is in the impressionistic stage, or in the expansion period of college days. The man who begins his study tonight is on the right track.
HAS MADE GOOD
The Big and Little Sister organization is without doubt one of the best institutions that has ever been in existence in the University. The first year away from home is naturally a difficult one for a freshman, and the first year in a strange institution is a difficult one for a girl from another university or college. In order to make the first year more pleasant for these strangers who come here the Big Sister movement was begun.
It has been successful. No other proof is necessary than the large attendance of Big and Little Sisters at the "At Home" given for them last Saturday afternoon, and the amount of interest which University women took in it.
The "At Home," which was given by two members of the Big Sister committee, was free from all influence of any creed or social class and it attracted members from all other organizations in the University. It is such gatherings as this that unite and weld together the whole body of University women more than any other one thing.
WITH A SINGLE STONE
"There is about as much interest in debate at the University of Kansas as there is in tiddlytie winks or mumble peg," a senior who graduated from the College last year, remarked when visiting the University the other day.
The worst of it is that he was right. As a whole the students of the University are not interested in debate or oratory.
Would not a series of inter-class debates, arranged by the class officers and staged as class functions, do much to overcome this condition?
If the plan could be worked out, class spirit and an interest in debate would be worked up at the same time.
THE LITTLE THINGS
He was enjoying himself immediately as he walked down the hall of one of the University buildings. "Tweet, tweet, totoe—ootle, ootle," he was whistling and piping forth the strains of "I Trovotore." Of course the music did him good, but the notes danced into one of the class rooms and seriously disturbed the professor and the students there. It's the little things that count.
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
The Egyptians embalmed the bodies of their dead for future generations and a mummy is—just a mummy. But in their art, the Greeks preserved the spirit, the ideals of a wonderful age and we have a Venus de Melos, an Apollo Belvedere, a Hermes, and the message they give us.
The Art Museum on the second floor of Fraser offers an opportunity to see and appreciate some of the finest forms of beauty.
THE SHORTEST CUT HOME
Good company on the road, says the proverb, is the shortest cut. And it is true beyond a doubt. When one becomes engrossed in conversation with a friend, new or old, the time, scenery and mile posts pass quickly.
So, on the way down the Hill if you see someone wending his way home, hail him and take the short cut the proverb suggests. If you speak, he will and conversation may ensue to the betterment of both.
The familiar old Vicar of Wakefield found his journey cut in half by overtaking the theatrical troupe and engaging in conversation. Imitate the Vicar, whistle to the man in front of you, hurry to catch up with him, tell him your name and exchange opinions on the world in general.

Write It to Campus Opinion
We have consistently avoided any mention whatever of the plans now being formulated for the increased army and navy. This stand has been taken, partly because we have not wished to impose upon the editor, and partly because we didn't know anything about the subject. But the time has came to say that much. While we, like Winston Churchill, had a great of foreign entanglements, if the following citizens can be persuaded to enlist and fight, we say let war be declared upon some one at once, as far away as possible.

CAMPUS OPINION
There should be no "dates" for the Nebraska game. If there is anything that will destroy the K. U. rooting ability on that crucial date, it is the tendency of the men of the University to desert the "Thundering Thousand" field with Desire and hold the field with Dearey or with Papa, or Mamma, or Cousin Will, or Uncle George.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed an evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
When Missouri came here and defeated last year, the Kansas rooting was miserable. One of the chief reasons was the one I have named. The comparatively small number of Missourians present were almost able to drown us out. This fact played no small part in supplying critics of the Kansas spirit with ammunition during the next two months.
Down at Manhattan week before last no man was allowed to have a date at the game. The result was a unified body of rooters and a fighting team. At Oklahoma, "dates" were scarce. The rooters in these schools think enough of their队 to give them every possible help.
Here is a chance for the Student Council to leap into the limelight. By ruling that no man student shall have a "date," or sit elsewhere than in the section reserved for rooters, this legislative body may suddenly become immensely popular, or unpopular, as the case may be. At any rate the student body will become aware that the members of the Council have not withdrawn from the University, but are still on the Hill.
Just think, Old Tup, wouldn't it be worth while to sacrifice an hour and a half's pleasant chat with "her," if old K. U. could present an imposing front when those Cornhuskers run on the field? Wouldn't it?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Students sometimes give as their reason for not paying class dues, that graft occurs in handling the funds. Such an excuse cannot be advanced by seniors as an excuse for not paying their memorial dues. The name of every senior paying his dues will be run in the University Daily Kansas. Furthermore, the committee's book showing the amount collected by each of the 25 committeemen, the class list on which the names are checked off as dues are paid, and the bank book showing deposits, are open to inspection at 1345 Kentucky street at any time; and on completion of the collecting will be turned over, together with all money collected, to Registrar Geo. O. Foster for checking over, and fund disbursement.
The chairman of the memorial committee asks that the class appoint itself a committee of 400 to inspect the books, prevent graft, and boost for a memorial truly worthy of the class of 1916.

PLENTY OF SLEEP
Crab.
Many students brag daily about their ability to do without sleep. Remember, when you brag about going without sleep, that sleep is life itself. A man can go without solid food for forty days. He can live seven days without either food or water. Kids tells us that he can go seven days tell
Those who complain that they must cheat nature out of sleep because of the difficulties of their studies will find that they will economize time by getting the proper amount of rest instead of adding a few hours of drowsy consciousness to 'the day. The proper amount of sleep makes the head clear, and enables the student to do his work more efficiently.—Indiana Daily Student.
The freshman at Purdue are to be told about the College and its customs, in a series of lectures by professors of the different schools. Ten or twelve lectures will be given. They are expected to create a better feeling between faculty and students, and to put the freshman on an intelligent basis at the first of his college life. Part of the lectures will be given to all the freshman class, and part are to be for the separate schools and departments. No one may attend the lectures without a ticket—so that the freshman will feel that the talks are worth while. Purdue believes in beginning early
Purdue believes in beginning early to make good citizens out of her freshmen, by the use of persuasion and instruction—as well as by the use of the paddle.
