CRITICAL TIME IS NOW
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 3, 1915.
Coach Asks for Pep in Class room as Well as on the Field
The success or failure of the 1915 football season here at K. U. is to be determined within the next week and a half before the Nebraska game, Coach Olcott told the newspaper correspondents of the University last
In other words, according to Coach Olcott, now is the crucial time of the season, just how critical may be indicated when the coach admitted that unless there is a marked improvement, the K. U. team stands ready to take control six of its regulations just before the Nebraska game through ineligibility.
Failure of the line to charge, miserable tackling, and worst of all the failure of the Kansas players to keep in the game the whole sixty minutes of play, were some of the reasons assigned for the loss of the Oklahoma game, and were indicated as some of the things that would have to be eliminated if Nebraska or even Missouri was to be defeated.
But the Nebraska game isn't lost yet. "We have a good chance in fact a very fair chance to beat Nebraska" declared Coach Occlott, "especially with such over confidence talk of Kansas a ready being defeated, as is now coming from Lincoln. But the team will have to get that confidence in themselves so greatly lack and get down to real business."
UNIVERSITY PARTY A SUCCESS
Mrs. Brown Pleased With the Attendance—Work on Colonial Party Begins
Happiness over the success of the All-University Halloween party, and determination to make next February's Colonial Party an even bigger event was expressed this morning by Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women.
"I was especially pleased—very much delighted—we the immune system were well-wished," he said, the wholehearted way in which everyone entered the spirit of the affair, makes me feel that all our work was indeed worth while. But there were several mistakes which should not have occurred, things to be regretted, and errors which we will not allow to be made again. I feel that everyone who helped in giving the party learned a great deal, and that we will never forget it. And in view of making the Colonial Party the biggest success yet attained, we will begin working upon it next week."
Mrs. Brown was profuse in her thanks to all those who assisted in staging the party; and especially so to those who had charge of the various entertainments. "I want to thank Dr. Alice Goetz, on behalf of the students and myself, for the generous spirit with which she gave hours of time to training the dancers. And I want to express our deep appreciation of the work of Miss Helen Hoopes in directing the stunt performers. Both women worked hard to make the entertainment features a success, and we all feel that they succeeded."

"Some persons think," said Dean Blackmur, "that Christ came for the poor and opposed the rich. They think that the Kingdom of Heaven is for the poor alone. It is true, Christ had a brief for the poor, because they needed it; he also had a brief for the rich. It was the spirit in the man, his character, which Christ looked at. We all have some little habits or state of mind which we must get rid of before we can become good Christians. Christ condemned the rich and gave to them the gift that He showed no favoritism. That the poor are more deserving than the rich. It was the spirit in the man, laid down the principles of righteousness and love for all."
Thursday, "Christian Dearte in the Basis of Social Organization." Friday, "No Monopoly on Teachings of Jesus."
MAY BRING FAIR BUILDING
That the Kansas building, now at the Panama Exposition, will be moved to Mount Oread some time this winter, to be used as a social room for children.
SOMETIME DURING WINTER
The cost of the Kansas building was originally in the neighborhood of $2,400 and according to Chancellor Frank Strong it will involve close to one thousand dollars to have it torn down and set up again, upon its architect. A coating of stucco will improve the appearance of the exterior.
When asked where the new acquisition would be placed, the Chancellor said: "We haven't come to that bridge yet. After the building gets here we will know better how to decide that question."
Mrs. Eustace Brown, the adviser of women, admits that she knows very little about the proposed plan for the women's new social headquarters. However she is strongly in favor of having the building brought here.
Y. M. WELCOMES CRITICISM
Hugo Wedell, Secretary, Answers Communication Printed in Daily Kansan
Replying to a criticism in the com- communication, column of the Daily Kan ran yesterday, Hugd Wedell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., said:
"Yesterday a communication from a student was printed in the Daily Kansan criticising the University Y. M. C. A, because 'it had not been able to get into as close a touch with the fellows as it might.' This letter voiced the opinion that 'there is a bit too much formality connected with the institution,' and that if 'the Y. M. C. A, would unwind a bend in its intercourse with the student body the desired results could be realized.'
I am glad for this opportunity to include the cooperation of all K. U. men.
Art students are vieing with the Engineers for the distinction of seeing the more conspicuous around the campus. Almost any bright day is great to see seen beany with their brushes or sketching pencils in some shady corner.
"Wicket Dame on the Ohio" will be explained to the members of the C. E. Society by C. C. Harding at the regular meeting tonight in Marvin Hall. Other papers which will be read are, "The Maintenance of Way" in Pier and "Difficult Excavations in Pier Construction" by H. W. Crawford.
"In answering this criticism permit me to state that the Y. M. C. A, sollicits any criticism properly motived. It desires the opinion and suggestion of the student body and faculty members who have constructive criticism to offer, of whatever nature that criticism may be.
MME. FRANCES ALDA.
Engineers to Hear Papers
"Our motto is to help the student body and the individual student in any way that contributes toward the development of the student's maximum usefulness. Any movement that has a tendency in this direction I am sure will receive the wholehearted and enthusiastic support of the Y. M. Personally, I know of no more democratic organization at K. U. Come and see and learn whether this statement is true.
"I wish to thank the student for the complimentary remarks in the communication, and wish him and his friends know that we should be glad to have them in us making this organization as efficient as it can possibly be made."
The International Polity Club will meet at the Phi Alpha Delta house object for discussion it will be "Armament its Relation to the Monroe Doctrine."
"I can also readily see how the Y. M. C. A. might touch a greater number of the students if individual students who delight in criticism would endeavor to increase the efficiency of the Y. M. by their own personal aid. I should appreciate it if the student writing the communication mentioned above has an office and express any criticism or offense he may have in mind that would bring the Y. M. and the students of the school closer together.

More Trips For Gleemen
Paul Sautter, manager of the Glee Club today corrected the report in Tuesday's Kansan that the Club would only make two trips this year. The Kansan had it that the Club would only make the trip to Topeka and to the Missouri-Kansas game. "These are the only engagements we have concluded," said Mr. Sautter when discussed the outlook this week on our team. We hope to make an announcement soon. If our plans go through, we may take in several Missouri towns in our Christmas itinerary. This will be a new creation, as none of our Glee Clubs have ever made a Missouri trip."
Prof. C. A. Johnson, of the School of Engineering and Ernest Arnold and R. E. Putnam, senior engineers have returned from a trip to Garnett, where they had gone to perform a fuel test. The test was postponed because of a lack of the necessary equipment.

Plan to Entertain at Homecoming To Do University Publicity
Work
The organization of county clubs is now proceeding with much enthusiasm. Marion and Washington counties were the first to meet and elect officers, others have followed, and many more are soon to be organized.
The Washington Club, which has elected Ivan Allen president, will hike to the country Sunday. They have sent home to see who will attend the Nebraska game from their county and will meet these visitors and entertain them during their stay in Lawrence. A basketball team is being organized with the intention of beating two or three of the county teams during the Christmas recess. At this time a reception will be given with the purpose of interesting the high school seniors in the University.
This is the general program of the other various county clubs, all arranging some kind of a stunt for Homecoming, Christmas, and mixes. We have many friends who were old friends at home to see more of each other here at the University.
As soon as the remaining counties have organized, the presidents from each will meet and form a central committee which will direct the clubs in their efforts to keep in touch with influenza politicians over the state for the purpose of aiding University For those who wish to keep in the formation of an efficient county club Registrar Foster has made a complete list of the students from each county in the state.
Mechanics to Meet
The Mechanical Engineering Society will meet Thursday evening at 10 a.m. the street H Garville and N Dewey on ports on the new plant installations.
WOMEN FAVOR PLAN OF CHANGING DATE
"The proposed date rule which is now under consideration and will come to a vote on Friday, November 5, seems to meet the approval of most of the women of the University," said Maureen McKernan last night when asked what action the W. S. G. A. had taken on the matter. There seems to be a general sentiment in favor of it.
"The proposed amendment to the constitution has gone through the required stages of presentation and consideration and all that remains to be done is to vote on it on the date set. We expect about 900 University women will express their approval of the talkel-of change in hours."

DECREASE IN TICKETS SOLD
CAUSES SOmes LITTLE WORRY
A slight decrease in the number of tickets sold to students for the concert course at the University this spring, C. S. Skilton some little concern. C. S. Skilton
"I am much concerned about this decrease. The students will miss the musical treat of the year if they do not head Mela, Alda, Thursday night. Much is concerned about the success of the student in the students missing a rare treat.
"One reason for the decrease may be in the fact that the singer this year is not so well known as the one that headed the course last year. But the singer this year is a better singer this year. Her voice is fuller and richer than the singer last year and should be a much more enjoyable concert.
"The course as a whole is much better this year than last year." Prof. Shilton continued, "and the ticket will be very likely pick up before the concert."

Professor Ogden Gives Psychologists' Viewpoint of the Great Struggle
Back of the war. what?
Real Factors Behind the War
Behind the "colossal struggle," the "world war," the historian sees the 'last stand of feudalism; the pacifist beholds the specter of militarism; the minister feels the totering of Christianity; the fatalist and the militarist hear the shouts of ultimate vindication only the sickening stench of blood.
But another, a psychologist, sees the clash of ideals; ideals which have grown with the nations; ideal's so insistently rooted as to prevent amalgamation or fusion; ideals which reject the union of feudalism or no feudalism, religion or no religion, militarism or pacifism.
Robert M. Ogden, professor of psychology at the University of Kansas, believes that the individual ideals are the real factors behind the war.
"The Germans are distinctly collectivistic," says Professor Orden, "while the English and the French—and also the Russians so far as their own have manifested themselves—are, like Americans, decidedly individualistic."
Success Due to Collectivism
"The secret of the German success in government, in their military undertakings, and in their social world is the result of their collectivism. Germans believe that they have a definite niche into which they are fitted by birth and environment, and they try to become the best of their rank, instead of trying to rise above their rank.
"As an illustration, take the German waiter. If you travel in either France or England, you will find young German waiters who have gone to that particular country to learn the language, simply because they know that they will have to speak English and French in order to make first class waiters in their own country. But you se'dom find a French or English waiter in any country but his own, unless it is in New York.
"The young German born in the rank of waiters, takes waiting tables as a serious life business. He believes that he has a definite part to play and he is satisfied. This is the collectivistic spirit which precedes the entire nation and touches the German in every part of his life."
Individualism Aids Democracy
The French share the individualism of the English, but there is not the struggle of the classes. They do not be let at one. Professor Odgen says:
The English, according to Professor Odgen, owe much of their individualism, to their rapid growth of democracy. The lower classes feel that they are, in a sense, under the control, and many of the recruiting troubles, and other problems of the war are traceable to this feeling.
French Are Nationalistic
"The French are probably the most nationalistic people in the world. They are French, under all circumstances or they become completely submerged. They have never acquired the collectivistic ideals in Algeria; and if, when this war ends, the country will retain their hold on Belgium and parts of France, it will cause much suffering and struggling."
