The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate, to go for longer than merely printing the new course, to pursue University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to be grouper; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to see the students of the University.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1915
Power is more securely maintained by prudence than by harsh counsel.—Tacitus.
TOMORROW THERE-
Tomorrow at Norman, Oklahoma, a University of Kansas football team will fight a glorious battle with a foe worthy of much respect. Two great undefeated teams will go upon the gridiron, but one must come off conquered.
Which will it be?
If spirit tells, Kansas heads will not be bowed, for the students have enthusiasm, and more. The "pep" which speeded the team on its way last night can not fail to count, and the tensed hopes and confidence of tomorrow surely will radiate even to Norman.
AND HERE
But win or lose, the Kansas spirit will not be broken, and a "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K. U." will ring as staunchly at the return of a defeated team as for the return of a victor.
What will it be?
Tomorrow on Mount Oread the students of the University will come together and perform the ancient and honorable rites of Halloween. One great united group will fill the Gymnasium and joy will be the only outside guest at this entertainment.
While You are here, can the party fail?
There will be forms of entertainment to please the fancy of every one, and rain or shine, victory or defeat at Oklahoma, the Halloween party must be a success. It will show accurately whether we have the true spirit of the University, or only the spirit of sport.
If you do your part, the Halloween party will be the greatest social event of the year. Others may be more formal, some may be more elaborate, but none can be so all-inclusive, so broad in interest and so vital.
THE LITTLE THINGS
They were roommates; until a month ago, strangers. One was exceedingly busy; the other had some leisure time. She used it, sometimes, to do the various helpful things that require little effort but much much. It's the little things that count.
SPEAK OF THIS
How many people does each University student know?
How many would two thousand be acquainted with?
But why are these questions asked here? Because there have been many, many applications for the one scholarship that is open to one deserving freshman woman? It may easily be seen that there is great need for more scholarships for the freshman class. And the best way to get other scholarships is for the many students of the University of
Kansas to mention the need to their acquaintances at home and elsewhere.
Many who would give a scholarship to the University do not know the need of the deserving students here. Talk to some one who may develop an interest in the University. You may do a real service to someone less fortunately situated than yourself but no less worthy.
THE CROOKED PLAYERS
The true spirit of a rally is liberty, but it is not license; it is enthusiasm, not rowdily. The man who ends a rally by the senseless destruction of property and the overriding of the law and the rights of others is not a true backer of his University, but only a tinhorn sport playing a surething gamble, with "pep" in the role of the wired table or marked cards.
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
Leonard Liebling, editor of the Musical Courier, has something valuable to give every University man and woman at his lecture-recital in Fraser Hall tomorrow, at 2 p. m. Every student should hear him. Mr. Liebling is recognized as one of the foremost musical authorities in America. Few things are more foolish than the willingness of some students to miss all outside lectures.
No one will regret the passing of an hour in the company of this interesting musician, whose dynamic personality is equaled by few.
An appreciation of good music is worth while. Mr. Liebling helps his hearers to attain it.
YOUR PART IN SONG
Singing has always played an important part in the building of nations. Even the Russians, who may be rather antique as to equipment, realize the power of song, and send their soldiers to battle singing. But students often fail to see the significance of song.
University students should sing the college songs more—it instills loyalty for the University. Many a felow can warble "Somebody Knows," or "There's a Litt' Spark of Love Still Burning" as he lounges near the piano. How many can stand up and sing the "Crimson and the Blue?"
You owe it to the University, you owe it to yourself, to be able to sing the song of your Alma Mater. You freshmen and you students who have never taken the trouble to learn it, take a few minutes to look over the old歌. Get it into your system, for it will do you good. Then the next time the band starts up the stirring strains, stand squarely on your feet and do your part.
WHAT IS EFFICIENCY?
"Efficiency is the power of doing one's most and best in the shortest time and easiest way, to the satisfaction of all concerned," says Edward Earle Purinton in the Independent.
How many college students can be classed as efficient? The writer in the Independent made a list of thirty questions which he called an individual efficiency test. Fifteen of these questions are reprinted as applying particularly to the college student. Study them over and attempt to answer them for yourself. Do you like work?
Do you honestly believe in your own future?
Do you know where your greatest
nower lies?
own future?
have you learned how to get well
you well?
Have you learned the best, quickest, most easy way of doing it?
Have you fixel a goal in line with your supreme effort?
Are you correcting your personal weaknesses; mental, financial, social,
Are you happier than you ever were before in your life?
Can you be optimistic under all circumstances?
Do you realize which of your habits, thoughts or actions make you inefficient?
Are you gaining or losing friends?
Are you gaining in will power?
Are you playing the game of life
squately?
How do you get along with the Ten Commandments?

I moaned aloud to God to ease my mind;
stretched my arms to Heaven in utter anguish,
tried to cry, "How can't thou be so cruel!"

I heard the words, "How can's't thou be so kind?"

When short of dope
And printers kick—
A rhyme or two
Will do the trick.

CAMPUS OPINION
The foregoing was inspired by an announcement of a pheature which we lacked the price to attend.
K. U. has been accused of a lack of school spirit. There is no one thing that would foster this element in school life so must as dormitories and they would be justifiable from a number of other standpoints. They would unite the student body and build up a community of people interested in and striving largely for the same things. They would give opportunity for the mingling of students and faculty in a social way not now possible—an undeniable advantage to students.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
At Bang, Maine, a fellow called Porter speaks to freshmen. Here porters speak to everyone* in terms common to this people, asking if they are perfectly satisfied with the service, and if another shine on top of the first would not go nicely.
Because of the unity of the body, student government would be stronger and more effective and school interests would be more vital to the student body as a whole. From a financial standpoint, dormitories would be an advantage over institutional housing and control of living conditions for the student would be possible and easier of enforcement.
Out of the unity resulting from a centralized student body would grow up traditions and customs which would eventually develop a school history, the possession of which engenders in students a deeper and more lasting affection for Alma Mater than is possible without it.
These are a few of the advantages to be derived from dormitory life. Others are apparent.

True warning, girls;

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM
The expiots of Al Jennings in "Beating Back" will pale into insignificance when the James gang invades Oklahoma tomorrow.
Ours Is Charlie Chaplin
Is there such a thing as a superfluity of excellence? We are coming more and more to believe there is. On every hand there are posters, rich in hue and williamramplohearst in tone announcing some philum pheature in which the favorite of the Universe and of at least two or three worlds will tread the mazes of the silent drama with great ecat. We believe that if some movie magnate with foresight and brass would take an entirely new angle and announce that henceforth he would feature the punken actors and actorines now at large the end of the rainbow would be approximated and the crock of gold would be his. Of course, it would be necessary to utilize some of the material now being flaunted forth as "excellent." Who is your candidate?
The dead leaves flutter downward one by one
Do we Americans truly realize the gravity of the situation in the war stricken countries? A few minutes spent each day in reading the English Reviews will give any one a keener insight into the problems which lie beneath the war, whose fates hang in the balance. The McGill Daily devotes its space almost exclusively each day to news from the front.
Across the road the spiders' webs are snun.
At Pratt, Kansas, you are called upon to visit the Yellow Wagon, which belongs to a Cleaning and Dyeing establishment. We gather from this fact that it is a water wagon, and we entertain useless hopes for its popularity.
