The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of a professor, then more than printing the further details in the University Bolds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gregarious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to make it clear how to authenticate the students of the University.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1915.
Nothing is wanting to make you wretched but to fancy yourself so.— Plautius.
WHEN TEMPTED
Another week has passed; another game was won; another week-end was gained or lost, but how about those lessons? Were they up to standard last week?
It is the time of year when many students are so engrossed with the sidelines and by-products of university life, that they slight their studies. "Guess I can slip through today" is a common attitude.
But now is the very time when hard licks call. Work slighted now means much harder work later, and perhaps the ruining of a worthy course. Think twice before you slide too far.
THE LITTLE THINGS
PRESCRIPTION NO A1
A young woman came into the newspaper reading room at the library, to read her home paper. There was no chair in front of it, and chairs on both sides of it were occupied. The girl put her books down, and started to读 her paper standing, when the man on her left, unostentatiously moved over to the vacant chair on the other side of him. It's the little things that count.
"Ilikes" are quite the thing. And there is sufficient precedent, without a doubt, to justify their present popularity.
Napoleon once made a famous "hike." Our illustrious Washington did likewise. The most notable one of modern times was a cross country "hike" made by a certain Russian general. It ranks high as to length of time and distance covered.
But the "hike" is being humanized. In its older forms, it was rather strenuous and indulged in only upon rare occasions. Modern men have so modified and altered the sport that fi. now meets the needs of boarding clubs and other groups, in small or large numbers, that are suffering from enui.
The "hike's" fullest possibilities develop when a group, say from fifteen to thirty, burden themselves with "eats" of a suitable character and select as their destination a place where a fire may be built under sheltering trees and the cooking done in primitive fashion which precludes the possibility of modern economic problems—such as the division of labor—obtruding themselves upon the minds of even the most thoughtful members of the party. Who would dare to think of any but the elemental and primitive things of life—laughter and song—around a camp fire in the open?
A few games, even though they be childish in character, and some stories around the dying camp fire are necessary to complete the whole
before the homeward stroll is begun. Yes, it must be a stroll, for by this time, if the spirit of the occasion has been lived up to, physical weariness makes strolling necessary.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Which names sound the better when you mention one of the buildings on the University campus to a visitor—Law Building, Physics Building, Engineering Building, Geology Building, Museum; or Green Hall, Blake Hall, Marvin Hall, Haworth Hall and the Dyche Museum? It is your privilege to promote the use of the right names.
A BIG LITTLE THING
Have you written that letter home?
Oh, yes, mother probably knows you are busy and have no time to spare for writing letters, but has she ever been too busy to do the thousand and one little things that you have needed done? A letter is a very small way of trying to repay Dad for the days and nights of work he has devoted to making your University life a possibility. A letter is a very small thing in return for the worry and care and patching that mother has done for you.
WHAT IS COLLEGE FAILURE?
If it is only three lines saying that you passed the quiz, or that you enjoyed a lecture, or that the University is going to beautify the campus, write it. It is not so much what you say that counts as it is that you let the home folks know that you are thinking of them.
WHAT IS COILED
Here comes John Doe, the college failure. When he ever attested he jetted out. He failed in debating, fizzled in oratory, flanked in dramas. The football coach said he was too light; the crew coach rejected him as too short; the track coach turned him down as too slow. Politics killed him in elections; prejudice barred him from student publications. John has a perfect record of zeros.
And yet, is John Doe a failure?
What is a failure? Is it the accumulation of one defeat after another that constitutes failure?
There goes Richard Roe. He was chairman of the freshman dance committee; vice chairman of the sophomore pipe committee; member of the prom arrangements committee, he danced in the Union vaudeville and was manager of the class track team. He wore a Greek letter pin, one of beautiful pearl setting and one of plain gold with mysterious characters. Richard Roe has a perfect record of 1000 per cent.
And yet is Richard Roe a success? What is success? Is it the winning of a few patry distinctions which we dignify by the term "honors"?
John Doe competed in a fight fo-
e eight big things; he lost them all.
Richard Roe won eight distinctions.
To be sure he did not exactly com-
petate for them, they were hardly compet-
itive contests. But he was still quite little. John Doe is a miscellaneous failure; Richard Roe is a brilliant success.
What is success? Success is not the attainment of a handful of plums. Success is the striving, the plugging, the struggling to do big things, to do many things—even though those ends never be attained. Failure is not the failure to win get things. It is the williness to satish the situation with great fidelity. Failure is the failure to get in the fight for things that count.
John Doe is not the college failure; he is the college success. The failure is not the man who works along a dozen lines and falls in twelve. The failure is the man who tries to gain nothing of importance and succeeds—Daily Cardinal.
The exploration of two members of the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, who have spent two years in their work of investigation, have resulted in the conclusion that the countless thousands of mounds of Oklahoma were each the "ruin of a timber-framed, dome-shaped, turf-covered human habitation," built and inhabited by a race leaving no traditions but which occupied the tory at least 60 years ago. These prehistoric peoples judging from the pieces of pottery and implements recovered, antedated the aboriginal tribes of the United States and excelled them, especially in the manufacture of pottery.-C. S. Monitor.
DID THEY PLAY FOOBALL?
Send the Daily Kansan home.
I bring fresh showers for the thirsty flowers.
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken

I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
THE CLOUD
As she dances about the sun.
I wield the ball of the leash ball.
The sweet buds every one,
When sealed to rest on them
And whiten the green plains under.
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.
That orbed maiden with white fire
laden.
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.

The starpe pink behind her and peer;
And I laugh to see them whirl and flee,

This year the band is making its annual tour of the country, and was in Topeka Friday. For some reason it was not booked for K. U. I believe that the student body wantsattracts them to the concert them. Why is it that the Marine Band is not coming to Lawrence this year?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:

In front of Fraser Hall stretches one of the prettiest bits of green on the University campus. It is well sodded and well kept, but some students seem to have no respect for the beautiful. Every morning, noon and night, students of most across this green in an effort, apparently, to make a path.
During years past the students of the University have had the opportunity of hearing the United States Marine Band. They have taken advantage of that opportunity and the concerts were all well attended.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The worst part of the whole matter is that they are succeeding. The grass is growing thin. Can't these men be awakened to the realization that it will take but a few more steps for them to go around and those few steps will save the beauty of the green for the rest of us?

Thirty-nine of the leading college newspapers in the east have voted to debar liquor advertisements of all kinds from their columns. The list includes the Harvard Crimson, the Daily Princetonian and the Yale Daily News. These papers have a circulation of over 100,000.
