The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at the university than merely printing, the news by standing for them or playing favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to beacious; and more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to seize opportunities and the students of the University.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28.1915
The beginnings of all things are small.—Cicero.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
When the Nebraska team comes to Lawrence two weeks from Saturday, the university of Kansas will hold its third annual homecoming. The word homecoming sounds important and promises great things; but how much will it mean?
The answer lies mainly with the students of the University. It is up to them to make the Homecoming an event looked forward to by all alumni; and it is an enterprise which takes only a slight amount of effort to make a success.
Drop a card—or a letter is better—to some alumnus in your home town, giving an invitation to come to the game and be your guest while here. Look over your house and find out how many guests you can accommodate for a day or two. Doubling up will not kill you.
Remember it is a proved fact that many alumni do not come back because they have no place to stay, no one to chum with or to show any interest in them, and they feel lost, feel like strangers in their own land.
Write that letter today.
Now that the Quill Club is awake, just watch the feathers fly.
AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
Nothing is too much effort to save your life, and few things are too much effort to save the life of some one else.
Some of these days you may be confronted with the same task that J. H. Sawtell, a University graduate met last week. He was badly injured in the wreck at Randolph, Kansas, but remained conscious and in spite of his wounds led a rescue party that relieved much suffering, and probably saved the lives of several.
Knowing just what to do in a crisis is a valuable asset to any one and possibly the best training in this particular thing comes during college life. One who is always willing to help in the little walks of life will be on hand to help in some big event in later life—as did Professor Sawell.
IT'S TIME TO BEGIN
It is only seven weeks, one day, am
a few hours until the Christmas holl-
days begin. Has your county club
planned for a grand reunion this
year? Are you going to have a
speaker from the University?
Isn't it about time to begin your plans for the holiday affairs? This year in nearly every case the expenses of the speakers from the University will be paid by the school. Why not get your bid in early for one of the most popular of the University professors? Do not let everything go until the last minute. Start early. Two years ago the first
club organized secured Chancellor Strong as its speaker. Show everyone that "your club" has the real "pep."
The Central Association of County Clubs should jump into the ring and take charge of affairs. It might attend to the securing of speakers, assignment of rooms for county club meetings, and the arousing of enthusiasm among the clubs. There is much to be done.
Unpopular adage: The Sooner,
the better.
TEST HAS NOT COME
"But the man worth while is the one who can smile when everything goes dead wrong."
That is true of the football rooter as well as of anyone else. Are you making good as a rooster? Of course, you can yell and shout when your team is ahead; that's easy, but how about the time when your team is losing? That is the moment when your men need to be cheered on. They don't need it when they are ahead. They can fight alone then, but wait until the other team is on the long end of the score. Then they need to hear a deep booming "Rock-Chalk" or a "Fight, fight, fight." They need to know that win or lose the boys in the stands are with them and are going to back them to the end. If you can get up on your toes and yell the loudest when "everything goes dead wrong," then you are "worth while" as a rooter.
THE LITTLE THINGS
Once upon a time there was a K. U. student who knew how to greet his friends when he met them on the campus. He did not walk around automatically repeating, "Hello, hello," but always had a cherry "Good morning," or "Good afternoon," or "How do you do?" He said it as if he meant it and he did. People came to think of him not so much as a phonograph on legs as a thinking human being, and a courteous gentleman. It's the little things that count.
SOCIETY VS. THE CRIMINAL
"Criminals must not be regarded as the refuse of society, they are a part of it—as a wound is a part of the body."
Such is the unusual statement of Gustav Aschaffenburg, German criminalist, in his book "Crime and Its Repression." The Germans are several decades ahead of us in the problem of the treatment of the criminal. Only of late have the police pulled together to realize that society cannot shunt her criminal unit onto the outcast tracks. They are a part of her very life.
Aschaffenburg urges that we treat the disease crime, for it is that, as we would treat any other disease - examine it through clinical research.
"The criminal is the concrete expression of the abstract idea of crime. * * * * * Crime is the relation which the law establishes between itself and lawbreakers," says F. H. Wines, American criminalist. Therefore if the law repeals a criminal law, that law for which a first enacted crime was full of illustrations, the early Christians were once considered criminals. A crime in one age may be freedom of thought in another.
Arthur Train in the "Prisoner at the Bar," says it is only chance that makes the criminal a criminal. Criminals are those that are accidentally caught. "The code which puts one man in an automobile is purely artificial and proves not a whit which is the better man."
Our laws for the punishment of crime are yet in the Dark Ages. The theory of crime treatment has advanced; the analysis of criminal procedure is coming to the fore but not as fully as we do now. We are to cooperate with these theories we are at a standstill in practical criminal research work.
REAL BOY HEROES
"Two infant prodigies have crept into prominence at the University of Indiana this year. Both of them are just past their fifteenth birthday and are the youngest students in a good year," says the Indiana Daily Student.
The "kids" are surely brave to stay by their school with all those "infernal" machines and other instruments of destruction reported to be hanging over the heads of the students of the Indiana University.

SONG FROM AGLAURA
Why so pale and wan, fond lover?
Prithee, why so pale?
Why so dull and mute, young simmer?
Pritha, why so mute?
Will, when speaking well can't wher.
Looking ill prevail? Prithee, why so pale?
Saying nothing do't?
Prithee, why so mute?
Quit, quit for shame! This will not
murge.

The question of uniformity seems to be running away with the world. We have agitation for uniform dress, agitation for uniform newspaper ethics, agitation for uniform elementary education, and now we have agitation for uniform bank checks for students.
—The oldest fort in Kansas stood on the point of the Hill one half block south of the Kappa house. The ruins still remain.
— there is a law on the statute books if Kansas forbidding anyone firing a gun in Kansas on Sunday.
PAY CASH FOR CASH
The Emerald of the University of Oregon observes with commendation the large turn-out registered at the first meeting of the French Club. One of the local fraternity houses was secured for the meeting and after a pleasant program refreshments were served, the rugs taken up for an informal dance.
It will be interesting to see if the new rule will have any effect upon the number of accounts that are placed in the banks or if the only effect will be to make the student draw out his money in larger amounts, thereby using fewer checks.
The Ithaca banks have adopted uniform bank checks for the Cornell students, and charge two cents for each check because they say that the balance of the average students does not cover the amount of bookkeeping that his account requires. Check books containing twenty-five checks and costing fifty cents are issued by Cornell, which is rather hard on the poor student who is trying to make his money go as far as possible.
The devil take her:
—Sir John Suckling.
Department mixers are the best kind of affairs to bring the students of the University groups together. Kansas could take example from the jolly-ups being held in the different colleges and the tradition and precedent that is being built up in the departments of other institutions.

"The Student Council will take no direct action in regard to freshmen wearing their high school pins," said Leland Thompson, president of that organization.
When asked about this matter this morning Thompson said, "It is not within the power of the Council to regulate this matter. As far as I know there never was any ruling in regard to it. It has simply been a matter of sentiment of the incoming classes to put away their high school insignia and the officer of the Uni- lon. I don't believe that this class is an exception and when they realize that they are not following the custom of former years if they wear their class pins, they will do as has been done heretofore."

The real shoe-making problem is, of course, to produce stylish, comfortable, durable shoes at a popular price.
IN making shoes it is not a difficult problem to create style alone,
or comfort only; nor is it difficult to cheapen the price by inferior leather, or add to the wear by increasing the price.
