The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the news than merely printing the news by standing in front of a computer to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be chaste; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; to have more ability, the students of the University.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1915.
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.—Prov. 22:1.
A WORD OF PRAISE
It is the usual thing to be commended and to have your smallest actions carefully noted if you are chancellor, president of the Board of Administration, or football coach; but what if you are only director of the band? Well, here's to J. C. McCane!
"Mac's" grandmother, or your great-grandmother, would probably have said, "Man, you did yourself proud Saturday." And did he not do that very thing!
The band that marched and played on McCook Field Saturday was the pride of every man in the bleachers. It was bigger; it played better; and it marched better than any band the University has brought forth. It looked as large and fine as any band that ever trod the turf of McCook, and it played the McCanles brand of music.
The students are proud of the band this year and they place the largest wreath of laurel where it belongs—on the baton of Director J. C. McCanles.
A NEW DATE RULE?
It would be easier to have faith in "Non-Flunkable Quiz Books!" If there was any record of a quiz book over having flunked.
The women of the University are to vote in a few days on the change in the hour of closing the rooming and sorority houses from ten-thirty to eleven o'clock on Fridays and Saturday nights, and to ten o'clock on every other night. This new rule is not to mean that dates are permissable on week nights but that every lordiady is supposed to close her doors at the suggested hour instead of at ten thirty every night and to see that all of her girls are in at that time. The council wants all of the women of the University to express their opinion of the new rule.
The change should be for the better. At present it is impossible to get home at ten-thirty from a picture show, which is the popular form of entertainment. The extra half hour should give ample time. On the other hand, Sunday night is always a hard night to manage. There is no place to go, and the only way of spending the evening is in conversation. There is not a man or woman in school who should not be ready to end a "date" at ten on Sunday evening. With school next day, the new hour would surely prove a blessing.
PRACTISE. DON'T PREACH!
There is a constant cry for "pep" heard around the University. Is this precious, life-giving, animating substance to be had for the mere whining and begging. Those people who go around searching for it in out-of-the-way places are not likely to come
o their goal. They are the very men who contribute to the peelless conditions, and their complaints of existing conditions, merely irritate.
Do you want pep? Then stop comparing the present to "those good old days of the long-age." The chances are that those nice, old-fashioned forbears of yours were not satisfied. No doubt they, too, had grumblers, who went around with elongated faces saying, "Would that we had the lively spirit of our grandfather's college days."
Pep isn't running around loose. It is too valuable for that, and besides, it has the sense to realize that it is in danger of being annihilated if it comes in contact with some of the fault-finders. If you seek school spirit, begin by practicing a little of it yourself. Stand up for the University, go to convocation, attend the rallies, and above all, buy a season ticket to the athletic events. There will be something lacking in your make-up if you fail to experience a spirit of pride in your Alma Mater after this treatment.
The all-wise students who sneer at the Phi Beta Kappa should remember it gets a first-page, column write-up once each year.
THESE NIGHTS!
Where were you all last evening? Cooped up in your room, talking or studying over a little gas stove, or half asleep in some parlor, trying to think of some way to kill the time till ten-thirty. Were you anywhere indoors, last night when the tang of frost was in the air, and the autumn was stealing over the Hill?
If you have been letting the chance slip to feel the keenest delight that may come to a student at the University of Kansas, get out tonight and see what the outdoors has for you. Climb the Hill and sit on the east steps of Fraser, or the Museum and look at the town with its lights, or the miles of valley at your feet, bathed in the moonlight. Sit there with a friend, perhaps, in the fall night, and just look and think and think, and you will find that a new feeling of loyalty for the Best School in the West, will take hold of you and possess you, making you capable of greater things.
Flotsam and Jetsam
The w. k. saying of Mr. Shakespeare regarding names has no justification in regard to the captain of the University of Chicago fencing team who is very appropriately yeleded Axe. Medieval chivalry will be reincarnated when some opponent is called upon to battle Axe.
Farmers in the vicinity of Lawrence seem to have just cause for their indignation regarding the cross country team. They say their dogs are rapidly dying from broken-hearts because of inability to pursue these gentlemen long enough to indulge in the customary bark.
Mr. K. N. Ocker flung down his copy of the Post with a blare of disgust. "All this fuss about the President's affair, and not one of my four essays in martial felicity came in for any mention other than that under the caption "Licenses Issued Today."
Lines upon observing w. k. sights popularly supposed to be about due. The grocer does not groce today
According to his teacher.
But with a toothpick short he rolls
A peanut down the road.
contact him the barrister,
Sana dignity of yore;
he sneaks adown the crowded mart
His coat back side before.
Nay, judge them not too hastily "Twill end when sun shall set, For each is merely paying off A lost world-series bet.
England is considering the feasibility of abandoning the campaign against Turkey. As the man with hay fever remarked, "Dard-the-Nelles anyway."
The plumber leaves off fitting plums
And with a flushed face,
He vieth with the doctor in A wheelbarrow race.
The successor to Anthony Comstock says he will take up the censorship of morals where Mr Comstock left off. We may live to see our track men wearing togas yet.

MARTYRDOM
For me the birds sing no more;
And all those things are a bore.
When day has sped to distant shores
And Morpheus taps his drowny
How soon they bring my shrouded bier,
Which once does the demeanor of
the universe is queer.
That I don't give a hang or rip
And I don't give a hang or rip
I've got the grippe
will provide the answers.
in the old grotzdem tanz.
Of those who sleep like circus crews.
From sunset gun to cockerel's song
I never into dreamland slip;
Each hour is more than eight years long
And when at last I cash my checks
And leave this gripe-infested
I've got the grippe.
I know St. Peter I shall vex
Though I can read my title clear,
For I'll demand the biggest harp
As through the golden gates I trip;
I've earned my crown by suffering;
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Have You Noticed--merely to show your worth, And lost you quite."
I've had the grippe.
The University yell on one of the buildings?
A big owl carved in stone? "A
boulder with 'Closs of 1876'
painted."
A marble marker on the site of Civil War barracks and trenches? The bulletin board of the Adelphic society?
A present from the Sachems, 1914?
A large stained glass window?
PLANNING THE FLASHES
Persistence is the fundamental ingredient of the recipe for success. Flashes in the pan are never the master builders. The men who direct this sublunar planet's activities made good by a determined assault. Every college community has its individuals who spasmodically burst forth in some activity, only to hibernate again when success is within grasp. Men go out for the football team for a week or two, show well before the eyes of the coaches, and then retire. Activities in all collegiate activities. The flash-in-the-chapeau has little value, except as stimulates the serious-minded to what is really required of a red-blooded person.
Robert Herrick, in a little poet,
about the blossoms, hit the mark:
"What, were ye born to be
An hour or half's delight,
And so to bid goodnight?
Twas a pity Nature brought you
At least one American college journal is doing its best to remain absolutely neutral in the present war. On the editorial page of this week's "Silver and Gold," the student publication of Colorado, is a large blank space, and under it are these words: "Our first and only war editorial."
Otherwise Neutral
Professor Rice came to Lawrence from Indiana. He remained but one year in the position to which he was elected, for in 1867 he accepted the presidency of Baker University. The Baker University Quarterly of September 1907 in a historical sketch, refers to him as zealous, scholarly, and a man who gave the school much of strength and inspiration. Failing health caused him to move, after about five years at Baldwin, to Trinidad, Colorado, where he was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church and very active in the civic life of the town.
Elil J. Rice, the first member on the faculty of the Kansas State University, was designated as Professor of Belles Lettres, Mental and Moral Science, and Acting President of the Faculty. He was elected in July, 1866.
History You Should Know
More significant than adjectives that might be employed to tell of the man as a man, is a story as told by Lillian Ross Leis, the first student enrolled in the University, in the Graduate Magazine of May 1912.
"In 1849 an epidemic of Asiatic cholera swept over the country. In Sandusky City, desolate and isolated, by the scourge, were relatives of Mr. Rice. Being unable to communicate with them, he himself drove to the inpatient ward, where he learned guarding their safety, and if not too late, take them away."
Meeting Competition
Keen competition in every walk of life now-a-days demands some thought of our "clothes welfare."
A man might be a crackerjack business man, possess all the good qualities so essential to his line of business, but let his appearance be anything but first-class and he has a growing tendency to be careless. Usually he suffers for it.
So we must protect ourselves----wear the kind of clothes that remove every possible doubt as to quality and goodness.
Clothcraft Clothes rank second to none where money value is concerned and the prices are somewhat less than you would think for such allaround good clothes----$10 to $20.
