The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at Northwestern to go further than merely printing the news in newspapers. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help students to qualify the students of the University.

THE COLLEGE WOMAN
A boy is better unborn than untaught. - Gaigeoine.
In the supreme court of Public Opinion, the Daily Kansan objects to the testimony of one H. L. Heinzman, international Y. M. C. A. worker. The College Woman is on trial.
Mr. Heinzman says in effect that the American college woman is a sham; she is far from self-realization and lacks any true spirit of altruism. The inspiration of his statements is a host of scenes from the battlefields of Europe, where women are playing no small part in the great struggle.
But the college woman is not a sham. She is in no sense inferior to her European sister, even though she does not work for suffering Europe and give of her substance in the degree which Mr. Heinzman wishes.
Someone has truly said that it takes a crises to determine character and should a crises strike America as it has Europe, then would the American college woman show her true colors. The women of Europe have shown their mettle, but the fiends of war were at their doorsteps and all life had changed.
The American college woman is in the stage of life when the wrappings and the tinsel loom large, when all the horizon is clear and blue, and trouble clouds are but fleeting. Far from the scenes of blood and suffering, it is but natural if she fails to realize fully their horror. And then, there is always the question—will not a too energetic struggle to relieve the suffering only serve to prolong the war, and thus do more harm than good?
Certainly her position is not wholly false, and beneath the glitter and the laugh will be found as true a heart and as noble a soul as those on the battlefields today.
The rooters may go to Oklahoma as cattle, but they will come back as lions—or lambs.
"THIS HIGHBROW STUFF"
Odd about university life, isn't it? We come to college to gain clear lucid processes of reasoning and self expression.
When we have mastered the art we refuse to use it.
We are ashamed to do so; no one else does except on paper. We feel an overwhelming sense of pity for the man who says what he thinks; says it in English rather than the latest college jargon.
Did you ever walk up the street with a man and have him say, "It's a gorious evening, makes one glad to be alive, doesn't it?"" You look at him out of the tail of your eye. He is not at all self-conscious. You are stricken dumb. Had he said "Peach of an evening, huh!" You could have answered heartily, "Sure is some night." But he didnt; "so you don't"
You feel vexed at his feelings—not that you object to the fact that he has feelings but why in the name of good taste can't he keep off the dangerous edge of sentiment.
He continues thoughtfully—quoting, you learn later, "The broad sun is sinking down in its tranquility." Which is exactly what is happening. You gurple wrathfully. Such slush! It isn't manly. Your attention has always before been called to that phenomenon by the conversational, "Peach of an evening, huh?" And you说 "Uhh, some sight."
Let it be night and your hard crusted soul is supposed to soften a bit. You are sitting side by side; he quotes the good old Masters. Do you lean forward enraptured You lean forward, turn your face to the side where he is not, and yawn, registering a vow that never again will you be so bored.
To allow yourself full expression in a college community you must possess three attributes, a pungency that is respected, a personality that is seraphic with just a touch of brimstone, and an overwhelming sense of humor. Even those may not save you if you persist in freedom of expression. You may be ostracised. Such are the dictates of our intellectual compere—the university student.
THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME
The football coach demands and gets the utmost from every candidate for the team. He drops the duffer and the quitter from the squad without a moment's compunction. As a disciplinarian he is the strictest of the strict. But he treats each player as a companion and an equal.
The professor is lenient with the candidate for a degree. He not only tolerates tawdy work, but he sometimes passes the flunker. Probably a third of the college degrees are unearned. But he sits on high and treats the undergraduate as an in-terior.
If the spirit of the football coach should be introduced into the class room, the college graduate would play the game of life — The Independent.
Flotsam and Jetsam
"Yesterday," remarked K. N, Ocker, who is disposed to take books literally, even those he reads in the papers, "I saw an editorial in the Kansas advising me to spend more time out-doors each evening. If I remember, the thing ran something like this: 'Climb the hill and sit on the east myself into thinking that I was a look at the town with its lights, etc.' Now the author of those inspired sentiments probably mean well, but there should be some city ordinance to keep folks from following these back-to-nature movements. I shall petition the city council to pass one.
"Well I climbed the hill along about eight o'clock last night expecting to be relieved of murdane cares for awhile and perhaps be so fortunate as to irritate myself into a spell of cogitation that would help me kid myself into thinking that I was a philosopher. Anything doing in the Divine affaits line? Not any. The irritating was done by the mosquites of whom a goodly number were present. The steps of the Museum had not been upholstered lately, and furthermore they were cold. So were those of Fraser. I tried them both. The author of the editorial advised me to take a friend along. None of my set were willing to manure me as conspicuous and not alone in these degrimations. There were several students abroad but none of them seemed to be contemplating the moon very intensively. The line of talk generally ran about like this. 'I checked it and he bet thirty cents. I called him and he came out with, etc.'
"No I am off these evening prowls or good. I hope after what happen last night and considering the old I have today that no one will and out any more suggestions like this, but I know you will happen if some one should try to receive the habit of walking barefoot in the dew."

Keep me, with stern and stubborn sides.

Pired their ringing shot, and passed,
Hotly charged—and sank at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb!

When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall.

To the Editor of the Kansan:
STUDENT OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith though names will be omitted (from publication if desired)
The Law's on their morning watch have nohing on the little club that has lately formed and is holding regular meetings in front of Lee's. The membership is not limited, and seems to be growing daily. Not only does ibs club love a market but also its own room in the afternoon, and evening wat as well.
"A Student."
The girls coming up the hill to classes, or going home have the strong desire to go around the hill, or down a back alley, or any way to escape the gang at Lee's. A dead silence preaches the place as they pass by, usually followed by a hum of conversation and once in a while a laugh. No girl in school begrudges the boys their little loaf, and their litt.e jokes, but it would be a lot nicer if the club would restrain their merriment until the women are out of ear shot. Of course the boys are laughing at their own little jokes, but a woman never can tell.

To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
What is going to be done about the freshmen who continue to adorn the lapel of their coat with their high school pin and wear their high school letters on their many-colored sweaters? It is another one of the few traditions at the University of Kansas that this is not permitted. Are we going to let the tradition die?
This is not the first time this question has come up before the school, but I hope it will be the last. Last year the streets around the campus were in some condition than they are this, yet they were cleaned, it can be done again.
The Student Council has no authority in this matter. Last year the sophomore class looked upon a freshman who wore his high school pin the same as the man who did not don his diminutive head gear. We have started in the right position in re-enactment taking on football games. Lets keep up the good work and have them take off their high school pins.
Interested.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
The knowledge that the women of the University are considering the addition of thirty short minutes to the time limit for calls on Friday and Saturday evenings is indeed gratifying to the Fussers' Club. Many of the men had begun to feel that the young ladies did not thoroughly appreciate their company, nor their ability as entertainers. The present move, however, would seem to indicate that the demand exceeds the supply.
No doubt the loss of thirty minutes on Sunday night if the new measure is passed is a necessary evil. Under the present ruling, total time available in one week-end for evening is 15 hours and 30 minutes goes through, 8 hours will be available. Decidedly worth while, in many instances.
Now that fall has set in, and all the outer world except these thoroughfares is receiving its attention it would be a great benefit to the school if the students would refrain from using these beautiful thoroughfares as trash cans. If they would do this maybe the city would find some time in the near future to clean up what has already been thrown there.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Since the fall elections are over and there is no more trash in any form blowing hither and thither over the campus, would it not be a good idea to clean the main thoroughfares that lead up to Mount Oread? Fourth street is probably traveled there by thoughtless students, who do how this street is kept. It is a shame for us to see, let alone the lie, how we keep these Al along the way. At the bottom of the Hill on Tennessee to the top there are pieces of paper, rags, tin cans, shoes, leaves, rubber hose, and rubbish of all kinds. These things are a discredit to the school yet they are thrown there by thoughtless students, who do not recognize what an injustice they are doing to their school.

The Style Note in Stetson Fall Hats
AND now again the approaching Autumn hints crisply—"Felt Hat!"
Come see the new Fall Hats Stetsons—Soft Hats, regular Derbies. Self-conforming Derbies.
Men in the know show a decided liking for Derbies and the more formal effects in Soft Hats, such as the Pearl Gray with Black band.
In the matter of block, crowns are rather more tapering than heretofore-there is considerable emphasis on the curl of the brim, and a dip both front and back, or front only.
