The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the city, and tries to share their ther than earlier printing. The news by standing for the news organization will play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be chableable; to be compulsive; to be problematic to wiser heads, in all, to ensure the students at the University. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1915. If a word spoken in its time is worth one piece of money, chance in life is small. DEFEATED? The score was 23 to 14. Kansas lost. Thus it is that we stand today where we stood one year ago? The analogy so far is very close. Last year we started with "pep" galore, and the cry was "All's well" until the Oklahoma game. Then the pendulum began its backward swing, slowly at first it is true, but gaining in momentum until the season ended in a smash, with only hisses from the spectators. This season's history might be written with—ditto marks beneath that of last year, except that there has been more than "pep," there has been a true college spirit which knows no defeat. It will not turn now, but it will back the team as staunchly as ever. The hopes that were bruised Saturday will rise again with the thought that no season was ever counted unsuccessful when we beat Missouri. (And remember, "dope" never counts against the Tigers). Defeated? Yes, but defeat is only a word of the present. In the final analysis, the question is not did they win, but only how did they fight; for in that answer rests ultimate victory and success. The Indiana Daily Student undoubtedly has the best and most famous editorial staff of any college paper. Its issue of October 25 contains three editorials, all signed. The signatures: Purdue Exponent, Colliers, Columbia Spectator. THE LITTLE THINGS "Too-o-o-o-t!" the whistle groggily sounded. "Aw, I didn't know it was that late," complained a student tossing down the basketball in the Gym. He rushed downstairs, took a shower, dressed, ran to class—and was late. This often happens in the Gymnasium. There is no clock on the big floor there. And then in the Library. Yes, there is a clock there—but one can not tell the time from the face of a stopped clock. It's the little things that count. BROWSE HERE Have you taken a few minutes recently to look over the new books that are on display on the shelf, above the card catalogues in the library? The stacks may be full of mystery to the freshman and sophomore, because underclassmen are not allowed behind the swinging doors at the east end of the library, but the reserve shelf displays all the books before they are put into those mysterious stacks. It does not take very much time to see what is new once a week. There are some interesting new volumes there dealing with the war. There are books on music that are of prime interest to the Fine Arts student; books on foreign languages, books of fiction, drama, poetry and art, books of science and history; in fact, some book there will be sure to appeal to students of every interest. and because the books are new they are up-to-date, and can give information that may be difficult to find elsewhere. CAN IT BE TAUGHT? Whep Brown University announced its course in "The Aims and Meaning of College Life," Colliers scratched its head dubiously and here is the result of its cogitation: "Sometimes we think we got something besides discipline from our text-books and 'lectures; then again we sometimes suspect that all we found out was where to look for the things we didn't learn. We escaped for four years from the folks at home and got a chance to breathe. Some of us gained self-reliance. In spare time a good many of the boys developed personality—became a little more like themselves. At college each man had to run his own race. We came from assorted places on the map and from a variety of castes; and, mingling in our world-in-mature, we experimented a while at chemistry, engineering, editing, politics, loafing, and whatever else was our bent. We made teams and friends and enemies, read some books, argued and theorized, fell in love. Then some of us got diplomas and such like, and some of us didn't till time rang down the curtain on our college life. Its aims and meaning we didn't know them and don't know now. Maybe we never shall." THE SEASON OF FRIENDSHIPS On rare occasions, in the fleeting moments between cramming for a quiz and lending our voices to football rallies, it occurs to us that a man's four years at college are the open season for friends. We look around to see how many of them we have accumulated, and we behold a host of acquaintances, but the number of true bosom friends dwindles to a mere handful. How many students are there to whom we go with our troubles and our vexations for advice and sympathy? How many with whom we discuss the things deepest in our hearts and minds, the things that really count? Perhaps we do not become more intimate with our classmates because there is no pressing need for counsel in matters of importance. We are content to glide along the easy path of college life, where great crises seem not to present themselves, or are glossed over. It seems so far ahead to the point where a friend in need will be a friend indeed. Some day we shall! feel the need of a confidential talk, with a friend of tried devotion. But will he be at hand? Certainly, if Yale boys, are more advanced than their fathers, we may logically expect at once another and greater Taft, and a greater Lounsbury in literature and Sumner in political science. Doubtless this year's graduating class contains some one already greater even than Hadley. Perhaps there is also a new Walter Camp on the list. BETTER THAN HIS DAD Critics of American colleges, and particularly those who think they discern a decline of student quality and calibre, should take heart from President Hadley's eulogy of the Yale boys, "The present-day undergraduate," he says, "is a higher development of civilization than his father or his older brother, and it is one of the extravagances, "there is today more intellectual life in the place than at any period I have known." But it is not necessary to press an analogy too far, and the exception only serves to prove the rule. The main thing is the hopeful discovery of the amount of time in a better man than his dad—The New York World. "Whoever is in possession of a true friend sees the exact counterpart of his own soul."—Cicero. THIRD Someone in "in stir" at the penitentiary at Lansing wrote more about Mohr than Mohr was worth, so Moore clipped it and two more, in order that the Kansan might have more. Here they are: Though Death puts out my fiery heart, I never shall grow cold. First student-My lessons are getting me down. STIRRED WHILE "IN STIR" When Lice's gay courage fails at last And I cower, worse than old— Wrapped in the winding-sheets of air And the great, blue folds of sky! For warm in earth's green covering, And warmly, I shall die. "in poker the player who holds hands gets the coin. In love the fellow who does nothing but hold hands gets the chilly mitt while the "do it now" person wins the stakes." "A muchly married man named Mohr had more wives than the laws of Illinois allow. Then he had more trouble toan he had wives. Now he will get more years than he had either. The Mohr the merrier." She--Is the library clock striking? He—I think so. Its hands have not worked for a month. REMEDY FOR OVERWORK "If you are one of the many millions who have not and can't get money or power, see what good you can do without either. You can help carry a load for an old man. You can encourage and help a poor evil trying to reform. You can set a table with oil bottles to stick to the men with whom you work, fighting honestly for their welfare—Arthur Brisane." HOME-MADE FROSTING Second student—So? Mine keep me up. It appears that the time has come again to remind certain members of the freshman class, say, that a better organization of loyalty would be to take a pair of scissors and clip the old high school letter off their sweaters. It can be saved for room decoration as a reminder of past glories, but it is altogether out of place on the campus. The freshman is not so far removed from his high school, days but that he still remembers his victories and successes there with pride, and it is together natural that he have a kindly feeling for that letter which seemed so hard to get. But the first thing for him to do upon coming here is to forget the old and swear all allegiance to the new. He is a part of the University now and the best way for him to make himself known as such is to retain the high school decoration for home use. "Eat Less—Breathe more. Talk less—Think more. Ride less—Walk more. Clothe less—Bath more. Worry less—Work more. Waste less—Give more. Preach less—Practice more." At any rate, it is not good taste to furnish the campus with these evidences as to what some people have done somewhere else. The University is not interested in knowing what her students have done, but rather what they can do here—Indiana Daily Student. THOSE HIGH SCHOOL LETTERS Mrs. Huff—What shall I do with the picture of my Christian Science friend A good man reloiceth when he is admonished; a wicked man cannot brook a reprover—Seneca. K. U.
