The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate of the University Kansas; to the university than merely printing the name of the University; to the University Holdst; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be brave; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to teach students how to ably the students of the University.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1915
Education is the only interest worthy the deep, controlling anxiety of the thoughtful man—Wendell Phillips.
WHY NOT DIRECT PRIMARIES?
The direct primary system for student nominations could be put in vogue very easily. An hour could be arranged for a general class meeting at which nominations could be made. The men who are nominated could give speeches on what platform they stand. The nominating speeches would in themselves give an insight into the qualifications of the prospective candidates. The voter would at least get a chance to know the man who is running and in the meeting could find out something as to the personal fitness of the candidate. More men could run and there would be less of the secret caucus and the silent plotting. This would give the best man a better chance to run.
TICKETS FOR WOMEN
The women of the University who put off buying their student tickets in the hope that they will get "dates" for the football games are unconscionably being unfair to the University and the men who they hope will ask them. If a woman has her own student ticket she does not have to stay away from any game for which she has not date. To refuse to buy a ticket is a plain case of sponging.
The average University man has a limited allowance for anything outside of his regular expenses, and this limited allowance is quickly eaten into if he, has to pay the way of some one else to all the football games. Furthermore it becomes tiresome for him to feel that it is expected of him.
The women's section at the games is becoming more and more popular. Men cannot do good rooting if they are away from the great body of roots. The value and effect of rooting is being constantly accentuated. And so it seems that the women of the University can be of the greatest service to the football team by purchasing their own student tickets, and allowing the men to join the section of the "Thundering Thousand."
ESSAY ON PIE
A political pie bears much similarity to the common plum pie. In the first place it may be carved into only so many pieces. The carver of the pie knows in the beginning into just how many pieces the pie will be divided, but there are often many people who think the division will be carried out to a much finer point, and consequently are disappointed.
The next similarity is that the size and flavor of the plums in a political pie vary in size and flavor just as they do in common plum pie. Some of the plums are fat, sweet and juice; others appear fat and juice, but in reality are a little bit sour; other plums are small and dried up. These have been put in the pie only
to help fill up, for everybody must get some kind of a plum.
It happens occasionally that the plums in a certain piece have slipped out in some inconceivable fashion, and only the crust is left. The man who gets this piece of pie always takes it back to demand his plums, but it is seldom that he gets them. The plums have all disappeared. There are usually a few people who get two pieces of pie in reward for their good work, but when they get them they get them both at once. So that when the man with no plums returns to get his share the whole pie has been gobbled up, and not even the crumbs are left.
Ye shall know the truth, and the
ruth shall make you free.—John 8:329

AT RANDOM Contributions thankfully accepted
The press' reports that come from other football camps are always bear stories but the reports that go out from our camp are always the unvarnished truth.
To tell the truth is always a good thing but to use diplomacy is sometimes much better.
Crooked voters at election Suddenly will change complexion When the council in consultation Gives their actions condemnation, And with slight consideration Sends them on a long vacation.
There's many a slip twist Septem

If you want the correct dope on the real ability of any one of the football men ask the nearest freshman.

The old fashioned convocation service Friday made it seem like home once more for the members of the P. S. B.
One might almost say that a person having a class on the fifth floor of fraser should get an hour or two of ym credit on the side.
You may go now.

Do You Know These?
He was a lady's man. Naturally, he had to be good-looking. But for all that, he had won honors and was hailed as a hero. Because a rowdy in a cafe insulted his companion, he slapped him in the face and was challenged to a duel. The fight he had with the fear that was within him, how he wrecked his brain with cowardly thoughts, his suicide and will are all told in an interesting manner by Guy de Maupassant in "The Coward." The book is just behind the librarian's desk on the main floor and can be bad for a mere asking. Students in English have read it and count it one of the best ever written.
Because the clerk of the Minister of Public Instruction was just a clerk and did not command a high salary, his wife had to do without many luxuries. An invitation to a bull at the house of the employer was an honor hailed with delight, but the woman had no jewels. She borrowed a necklace from a rich friend, was the most beautiful and attractive woman at the affair, but loss was palpable. She repaid it and the consequent results of one night's pleasure are recorded in "The Necklace" most popular short story of Guy de Maupassant, the French writer. It is in Spooner Library.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to be without a country? Philip Nolan was in that fix. He damned the country he had wronged. He deprived of his country, made an outcast on a government boat and sent to far waters. You have heard of "A Man Without Country." Have you read it? If not, Spooner Library has two doors that should welcome you today. The book is just back of the librarian's desk. Edward Everett Hale had a great vision when he wrote that story and you will also catch that vision when you read the story of unfortunate Phillip Nolan.
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image—Goethe.
Baccalaureate sermon—A device of the faculty for flattering the seniors; a very learned discourse delivered before the graduating class of the University under the assumption that the speaker will what the speaker is talking about.
UNIVERSITY DICTIONARY
Serious and non-serious interpretations of
metaphorical terms.
Custom and tradition have made and molded this condition at Kansas for it is not a natural state of affairs. Each fraternity to itself is the third point of the triangle, with the non-fraternity men and other fraternity men as the other two. These three points should be made to coincide, thus destroying the triangle and tearing the high barriers which now exist.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow road, and Be one traveler, long I stood And be one traveler, long I stood To where it bint in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, Because it was grassy, and wanted Because it was grassy, and wanted The so for that the passing there And because it was grassy, and wanted The so for that the passing there And because it was grassy, and wanted And beds that morning equally lay In leaves no step had troddon black. Oh, I mark the place, the way how路ways on to way I doubted if I should ever come back, shall be walking
STUDENT OPINION
Blake Hall—A frame for the physics clock. From this use it has derived its name of the physics building. Bouyant—The feeling you have after making a correct guess in a recitation.
With this spirit petty jealousies and hard feeling would cease and the fraternities would serve more to fulfill their true purpose. Kansas fraternities are in a deep rut and the ideas and practices of the organizations at other institutions should be a strong enough force to pull them out.
Instead of each house being a castle unsurmountable except by a drawbridge of invitation, which is seldom let down, the fraternities should be open houses with an easy approach and a warm welcome to all visitors. Three or four new faces should be seen at the different club houses for each meal and three for more meals; their beds are turned from each order eating at other places. Fraternity men should feel at liberty to drop into other houses whenever they feel like it and should be as much at home as if he were not a visitor.
Baumgartner—A professor of zoology who acts as chaperon during the summer for a number of students and researchers. She coauthored colds and seawater in Puget Sound.
Beat (Verb)—Used in connection with freshman.
It is an easy matter to start, why not have some friend over today.
There are too many spite fences between the fraternities of Kansas and not enough mixing. Instead of the different organizations being one big fraternity family as at other large and progressive institutions, there are cliques and individual families.
Bug (hum and otherwise)—A form of insect instrumental in deraining the mind.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
A fraternity is not simply a group organized, living at one house and partaking of the same fare, as commonly supposed. This is but an eating club to solve the economies of living. The meaning of the word fraternity is twofold and an organization coming under this head must live up to two qualifications before it can be classed as such, in understanding its nature. To create the bonds of brotherhood within its doors and to promote and extend friendship without is the potent basis on which fraternities are founed.
The spirit at Kansas among the fraternity groups does not fulfill this last qualification although it may hit the mark in the first case. Too much eating House and not enough fraternity is the basic fault. The fraternal organizations do not aim to promote or develop friendship and side of their own individual bodies and are not living up to their true purpose.
STUDENT OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith through names will be omitted from publication if desired.
WANTS EATING CLUBS
Fraternity men don't feel at home in the houses of the other organizations, nor do they lay into the different houses for meals as they are accustomed to do at other colleges. An under-spirit of rivalry and a noticeable feeling of dissension seems to be instilled in the fraternity men at Kansas. These baser emotions counter-act the higher fundamentals of friendship, congeniality, good fellowship and the other attributes which should domineer the fraternity groups.
