The Baily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate student in how he or she will go further than merely printing the text on paper; the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more encouraging problems to wiser heads, in all, to recognize that university students of the University.

Friendship is Love without his wings!-Byron.
COMMENDABLE ACTION
No recent faculty ruling has been received by the students with greater commendation than has the reduction of the hour requirement for athletes
The old 28-hour rule which forced our players to carry a greater simulistic requirement than the members of other Missouri Valley Conference teams, generally has been supported by the students. Its rigorous requirements have sometimes been pointed to with a certain amount of pride when there was little else in the record of a season to be proud of, and some alibi was necessary. But is has usually been "damned with faint praise."
The new 24-hour rule places our teams where they belong—at scratch; taking no handicap and giving none. The revision was not made because of any great clamor, or because we were in sore need of more men, but because the faculty recognized its justice; and wished to stand with the students with a “hand upon their shoulder in a friendly sort of way.”
THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY
"College is no place for the girl of college age," says Mrs. Kathleen Norris, the authors. "If I had a daughter I would put her to work in the village postoffice before I would let her drift along without any knowledge of what business is; what men are; and what they are up against in the world." But the question arises, why should a mother send her daughter to the village postoffice to gain her knowledge of the world and men?
There is no more reason why a girl should go to work in the postoffice with no knowledge of the world than that she should go to college without that knowledge. Is it not the business of the girl's mother to teach her the things Mrs. Norris mentions so that she will not have to learn them away from home?
Why is a girl any more capable of taking care of herself in the business world than she is in college? At college she is guarded and cared for as much as possible anywhere outside of the home. Would she receive the same consideration in the business world?
If the girl's mother has not done her duty in telling the girl about the world, she will receive her information in a more wholesome way from her college acquaintances than she would be likely to from companions in business.
BY ITS FRUITS
Dr. J. L. Porter made a bequest of $30,000 to the School of Medicine. Why? Was he a student? Did he simply have a philanthropic turn of mind and in casting about for some suitable object, happen to light upon the School of Medicine? Or did
the life of some enthusiastic, loyal,
deserving student touch his life, consciously or unconsciously, and engender the thought from which the act grew. Perhaps this is only a dream but we like to think it may have been true.
THE TENNIS BUG
Among the insects whose bite causes men of high degree to fo'ow madly in pursuit of a single hobby, the tennis bug occupies a foremost position, rivaling in the seriousness of its destruction, the love bug and the golf bug.
The ravages of this insect are most noticeable among the faculty. Some of the professors who have become infected never think of going to a football game and helping out on a "Rock Chalk," and spend chilly Saturday afternoons running around the courts in white duck trousers.
A well authenticated case of the evil resulting from the tennis bug has been observed at Amherst College, where a dignified professor told an untruth in order to avoid a faculty meeting and play a set of tennis.
Why not "swat the tennis bug?"
WOMEN'S PAN-HELLENIC
Much criticism has been passed this fall upon the Women's Pan-Hellenic Association of the University of Kansas. Nearly all of the complaints have come from sorority women themselves. It may be encouraging to find that Kansas is not the only university with such a trouble. Nebraska and Missouri are not altogether satisfied with their Pan-Hellenic.
Several Eastern colleges have solved the problem by putting their associations to a practical use, and have placed them in a direct relation to the school. These Pan-Hellenic associations spend the greater part of their efforts each year in bettering the conditions, and enlivening the lives of the women as a whole. In some universities, it works in direct connection with the Student Council, helping with the general entertainments, and work of the council. Perhaps the Pan-Hellenic associations of the West are to find that the East has found the true functions of such associations.
THRU THE PERISCOPE
If the Daily Kansan artist is not too busy, the next "Unfamiliar Scene" will be a picture of a K. U. professor carrying a life-sized pump pocketbook.
The plum tree is being shaken until it resembles an old maid's palm leaf.
And maybe, it is the severe shaking that is agitating the seismograph so often.
We could exist without Thanksgiving or Washington's Birthday, but what would we do without the annual reminder that the old fort on Mount Oread is forgotten.
Of course we admire our alumi, but when they say they will come back, we always remember how Jim Lippa told Teddy Roosevelt said the same thing.
"De Paau allows dates every night," exclaimed Hi Speed. "Say, that's de pa I'm lookin' for!"
Is it because eighty-five per cent of K. U. students belong to some church that an Angell is coming to Mount Oread?
When the directory went to the printer, the registration office force sang "The hours I've spent with thee," while the students gazed toward Topeka and carrooled "Shall we meet beyond the river?"
Just Because will make another 90 yard run when the women tell why they criticize.
After all, there is nothing so wonderful about the high school clock having lain in the Kaw river; plenty of good watches have been "in sank."
The foot rule is always twelve inches, but the date rule may be extended.
And Some Chicken whispered to Freezie the Goat, "Remember it is not my fault if you get sick from eating powder and paint." And the Clear Moon shone on the quiet, quiet High Hill.
The Midnight Story
Send the Daily Kansan home.
I wonder about the trees:
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the house of these
men who have been dwellers
No close to our dwelling place?
That I will lose all measure of pace
And fixity in our joy
In laughing in the air.
They are that that talks of going
And that talks no less for knowing,
A grow worm waits to stay.
That my feet tug at the shoulder
Sometimes when I watch trees swea
From the window or the door,
When the sun goes down, I
I shall make the reckless choice,
Some day when they in voice
Come and talk, the white clouds over them on,
to say,
But I shall be gone.
Sophomoric Reactions
The Calcutta Englishman calls the following from a French paper: "The climate of Bombay is so unhealthy that its inhabitants are obliged to live elsewhere."
THE SOUND OF TREES
Freddie: Let's see some of your tricks, then—Seattle Star.
Teacher: Willie, I don't believe you ever study your geography.
Freddie: Are you the trained nurse mamma said was coming? Nurse: Yes, dear; I'm the trained nurse.
Willie: Well, father said the world was changing every day, and so I thought I would wait until things settled a bit. -Illinois Siren.
"Do you know where the little boys who don't put their Sunday-school man on a bus?"
"Why were there so many Yale at Plattsburg?"
"Yes'm—to the movies."—Williams Purple Cow.
"Because they had 'taps' every night."—Harvard Lampoon.
Barb-wire 'The telegram that a non-fraternity man sends home.
One outworn tradition died with last year and a new one is springing up in its place. The old tradition was the Football Show, as it used to be. It was always held in San Francisco in some theatre which was willing to take big risks. If the chairs in the building weren't torn from the floor and the actors and the beauty chorus erged off the stage the police force made public a street theater the management of the theatre passed a restful night. The real show of the evening was the rah rab boy running缸
UNIVERSITY DICTIONARY
Serious and near-serious interpretations of the meanings of campus words and phrases.
The Old Order Chaugeth—
There is really no good reason why the publicists of San Francisco should be officially encouraged to capitalize college spirit on the night of the Big Game. If we feel joyous, we can be joyous on this side of the bay—at least officially; and if we feel sad, we shouldn't weep in public. The rah rah boy has no place in the "streets of the great city."
The new tradition that is being started this year is an entertainment on the campus on the night of the Big Game. The Glee Club has been given charge of the affair, and the programme will contain real music and a real show. The entertainment features have not been fully worked out for the day, but a give promise of producing a pleasurable entertainment.
Bar—An ancient relic of Kansas at present seen only in "blind tigers." Also that instrument of the law that causes the senior Law to quit his three years of leisure and start to "burge up."
We hope the Glee Club will be "eminently successful" in its new undertaking!- Daily Californian.
Biped—Anything with two feet—exceeding a yard stick, but including a dog.
Beef—A species of buffalo steak (or rawhide). It's hard to tell the difference) that is served in some of the boarding clubs in Lawrence. Its only rood quality is that it promotes length of jaw, language and purpose.
Bigamy. The crime of not having enough sense to keep from getting involved in a fight.
Bill—Something that gives an occupation to collectors and which gives a reepy feeling to a student (a feeling o creen out of sight).
Berth—A. well known hiding places or those who made football trips sub
**Ded—A sleep-inducing implement,** seldom seen by some and too much used by others. Something that matches your room-mate fight over "my half."
Blanket—Instrument of torture used on the poor defenseless freshmen who persist in attending a football game without their postage stamp
Beau—One who would just love to break a week-night date rule.
