The Daily Kanean aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students, rather than merely printing the news by standing for their opinions, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to give more credible testimony to the student of the University.

I find no man always free from faults.-Zenophon.
THE WIDENING FIELD
Talk for a few minutes with any faculty man, or with almost any upperclassman, and it is unusual in a general discussion if the topic of dramatics at the University is not touched upon. And invariably regret is expressed over the situation.
What is the situation? Well, it is that no original dramas have been written by University students for several years; few students tryout for the class plays and dramatic club productions; and the students in general regard dramas as a very minor activity.
It is different at many universities. The writing of a produced play is ranked high among the student honors. Participation in a drama, or comedy or comic opera is 'a'also an achievement worth much effort. Competition is keen and the student plays are always worth seeing.
But at Kansas the spirit of the drama and the appreciation of it are just awakening. A $50 prize has been announced for the best play written before January, and it will be more than two months before we can tell just how wide-awake is the Muse, But in another line, we may judge right now. Tryouts are being held for "The Witching Hour," the Dramatic Club production. Only twenty-five appeared the first time and there are fourteen places to fill. But there will be additional trials which may bring many more.
There should be at least seventy five aspirants for places in this play and there should be a dozen manuscripts presented in the prize contest. What about You? Have You any latent ability which You have been too indolent to use? Are You traveling contentedly in your rut? Wake up, and take stock of yourself. You may be the University playwright, or the star in a field which ultimately) will never be classed, as a "mino sport," even at Kansas.
The University catalog may resemble a scrap book in appearance, but it makes much better shaving papers.
THE UNDERGRADUATE
The undergraduate has been styled the "true glass to give back to the nation its own image." What is true of reflection on the nation is also applicable to the Alma Mater. The undergraduate is the expression of the institution. He is its public image, the finished product in time, the mirror that must reflect the ideals, the character, the moral standard of the school that continues to be, long after he goes out to become a part of an outside world.
During undergraduate years the student is receiving and absorbing; forming his mode of living for future
years. He is raising or lowering his own moral standard; absorbing the chaff or sifting it out; nurturing a spirit of Alma Mater. He is the invital things, or else he is vitiating the University atmosphere.
The undergraduate is the incarnate spirit of alma mater. He is the inspiration of the university world. He leaps into fresh being with every new movement for righteousness, power, and strength. He is the dynamic force of public opinion. His responsibility is infinite.
He may be power misdirected, terrible in his potentialities. He can wreck happiness, fill the cup of every life with sorrow, be the consort of vice, the brother of crime, or the trail-blazer of dissolution.
As the undergraduate is, such will be the after-man. What sort of an image will you reflect?
Kansas-Nebraska game, Nov. 13; Kansas-Nebraska debate, Dec. 10. This shows the true fighting spirit—act first and talk afterward.
"LET'S GO KANSAS!"
The Kansas rooters who saw the game in Manhattan last Saturday afternoon saw a Jayhawker team, whipped in the first half, come back in the final periods and defeat their opponents. That is the "old fight" that makes a winning team. Never stop fighting until the last whistle ends it. Never stop going ahead while you can wiggle an inch. That is the spirit the team showed and every student of the University is behind that team. It is that spirit and that backing that is going to make this a big football year for the Crimson and Blue. "Let's go Kansas!"
THE LITTLE THINGS
Miss Student was walking up the Hill with a load of heavy text-books. A tiny piece of linen fell from her hand to the ground—it was her hand-kercheif.
A young man, with his head lifted high, walked quickly by and strode on up the Hill. Miss Student started to put down her load of books and pick up the handkerchief, but another young man quickly stooped picked it up and handed it to her. It's the little things that count.
JUST GUM!
Gum is the enemy of the jaw, the friend of the working girl, the companion of the heiress in her boudoir, and the valet to the man who wishes to lose the smell of tobacco or to disown his friend, John Barleycorn.
In other words, it is the keeper of reputation for some and the inspiration of others. It makes—but let the Johnson City Enterprise tell the tale.
"Did you ever notice how really beautiful gum chewing makes a girl appear?" Take her de facto, and gazed steadily, one cannot find a more ideal picture. With a sharp click! clack, her teeth, so white and pealy, clashing together as, with cowish glee, she masticates her curd. Then, too, one can cuddle her cheeks as they grow a little more rotund, through the material assistance of a big "hunk" of gum.
"And really, who can imagine a fairer spectacle than that of her dainty, upturned hair, as it gently rises and falls in wave like undulations over the abysmal depth revealed at each pressure against the mass? Oh, how deliciously charming that is! We must be maiden filles it with a soft, pliable chunk, and, champing like a festive goat reveling in the luxuries of the succulent tomato can, she greets you in tones busky with gum."
"Smoke, smoke, smoke; everywhere smoke. Autumn is now at hand and as the trees are shedding their leaves one is constantly greeted by their noisy rustling. In some places this tree is covered to a depth of six inches.
"FRAGRANT. BUT MILD"
"A large force of men does nothing but rake leaves and dispose them by the fire route. And in the meantime we cough, wheeze and choke as the smoke pours on us from all sides."
This is all the University of Illinois Daily has to say about leaves. Probably they have no hill to be waxed to a glaze that makes standing on your feet impossible.

Those who come up the Hill by Oread Training School to the library on dark nights wonder why there is no light at the steps leading up from the street just in front of the Training' School.
It would be but little expense to run a wire from the Training School out to the street, and if a creditable looking post were erected there, this would aid in beautifying the campus.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Editor of it. It is little wonder that go many new students and occasionally one of the old ones have headache. Statistics, books which take a professor's intellect to fathom, and lectures at which the instructor himself would fall asleep if he were forced to listen and the other diabolic delicacies which are served on the University table are enough to give more than headache—bad dreams and nightmares.
Student.
The cook serves up the broth and to him can be laid the responsibility for the poerness of this broth. He can make it spicy and tasty as he likes. If it is well cooked up, it is remembered in due proportion.

The concensus of opinion is that Owen to Benny the Sooners have another good team this year.
Nebraska is nurturing a grouch just now because the score against Notre Dame was no larger. If those Cornhuskers were given representation in the Trinity, they'd beef because they didn't have a majority.
With the championship of the horseshoe pitchers safely settled, we may look for interest in minor sports to perk up.
Since Caranza has been recognized, Vila can't see him at all.
Way, of Yale is said to be 'way the best center in Eastern football. The battle cry of Eli's opponents this year is undoubtedly, "gang Way, gang Way."
R-e-e-markable. Not one of the port writers thought to speak of laskell's team last week as the "abrigines."
The Argies are still giving themselves pats of self-communication because they outplayed us in the early part of the game. It reminds us of a man who ran for office once, and then said to the man that he had his opponent beaten until the last two-thirds of the precincts were heard from.
creased your Ancient brow:
But this I know, whate'er your history
I know you're nothing but a bone-

know you're nothing but a com head now.
