There's just one person you can fool all the time. You can't fool the public, nor God, nor your family, nor the children, but you can fool yourself every day in the week—Cora Harris.
HANDLING PERSONALITIES
HANDLING PERSONALITY A system which by its very nature trends to develop trafic in personalities is dangerous to the unity spirit of this institution. The present election method—under which the various candidates are put up for the approval of their classmates not on grounds of any publicly declared principles but on grounds of being the "best fellow"—is such a system.
best teacher.
This is not an attack on class spirit. Class spirit is to be encouraged in that it is a producer of pep which, at the proper time, can be converted into enthusiasm for the school as a whole.
Why not let the various parties come before the students with concrete platforms, embodying principles which they think will advance the interests of K. U.? Why not let them ask for support on other grounds than the personality of their candidate?
But would it not be wiser to arouse this class spirit in some other way? Would it not be saner to base this political rivalry on a less treacherous foundation than the present one?
GET IN THE PARADE.
Of course you are going to join the big parade Saturday before the game. You are not one of those selfish persons who will hurry down to McCook in order to get a seat on the fifty-yard line. There will be good seats for all and no one need cut the parade. It is the freshman's opportunity to see just how many there are of us. It is everybody's opportunity to pay tribute to the team and its coaches.
RAMBLE!
Do you get that invitation from Nature, these incomparable days—when it isn't raining—and do you respond?
Take a pal; take a lunch basket;
get out into the country. You'll feel
better for a week.
A trip to Blue Mound, across the Wakarusa Valley, or, if a twelve-mile trip is too long, a walk or row to Cameron's Bluff offers a half day of prime enjoyment. Take a fowl sack for walnuts—and the additional exercise attached thereto. Get out into the country!
SCORE ONE FOR FOOTBALL Football has been vindicated again. This time Columbia University, in point of enrollment America's greatest University, is the place into which the college game has forced itself upon an unwilling faculty. Because Columbia is a city school it has a
small campus in the heart of a metropolis.
It has been nine years since President Nicholas Murray Butler, of the school, ruled against the gridiron sport, and banished it from the activities of the men's student body. In a statement at that time he declared that under the existing conditions football was hurting the University and that it should be abolished.
Immediately the student body set up a protest that has never been downed. And now football has won out and has been reinstated.
The tenacity with which the students have held to the idea that their school should have a football team is significant of the ideals of the underclassman in the American university of today. It shows the high valuation that the student places upon his university experiences—his "outside the class-room" activities. American universities are handicapped in that few of them have the rich store of traditions to draw upon that European university have. In their grouping for these traditions they have hit up on football as the one thing that identifies an American university—that makes it typical of the United States.
The average student in one of our universities is not benefited by football in a physical way. It has become too highly specialized for that. The benefit that the student gets is a moral quality. He has an opportunity to show his loyalty and his love for his Alma Mater by supporting the team at all times. He learns to be a supporter—and that is a great benefit. He sinks his own individuality by boosting for his队.
Football has become as much a part of American university life as the classroom. It is universal and, with all its faults, it is one of the great things in the undergraduate's life and one of the great memories of the alumnus. The support of the alumni of Columbia University shows this.
THRU THE PERISCOPE
C. E. S.
When Hi Speed picked up a Daily Kansan and saw a poem headed "If I Were a Tree," he snorted, "Huh, if I were a tree I'd shade a limb."
Archie Little operated the monotype at the journalism office last year. He is gone this year, but Little will be missed.
It is only reciprocity for Bunker to send those birds to the high schools for they send lots of chickens up here.
Hi Speed, who is carrying a varnished young tree and cultivating an unsanitary upper lip, says it is not so bad to look like a face, but it is trying to feel one's look.
It is said that one freshman considers a date such an event that he calls up the advisor of women and gives the customary three days' notice.
A professor reports the presence of white herons on the Kaw, but he probably never noticed the White Crows on the Hill.
How luck it is that the candidates for debating teams will not have to show their line while so many football fans are in prime condition!
A man who has a good graft is invariably "just breaking even."
"Oh, don't shed the brine over that," counselled Buckie. "He once ran me ragged, but he always gives Chickens a One."
Now Some Chicken was complaining bitterly to Freshie the Goat when Buckle the Frat found them. How Buckle had been on the High Hill for three years and knew the lay of the land, so asked Some Chicken why she dabbed powder on her nose and smiled poutfully at Freshie the Goat.
The Opposition will never understand how such villians and vacuum skulls were elected.
The Midnight Story
When Some Chicken heard this she did the lame dunk down the High Hill and left Freshie the Goat where the Green Grass Grew All Around.
"Prof the Bear soaked me right in the neck this morning," wailed Stone (Sone).

THE HEART
STUDENT OPINION
ne heart:
—From an old scrap book.
The flush of youth soon passes from the face,
The spells of fancy from the mind down.
The form may lose its symmetry—its grance.
But it can claim no victory 'o'er the heart!
For Conscience' Sake
Bridget—"The new neighbors want to cut their grass, mum, and they sent over to ask the loan of your lawn-mower."
OBJECTS TO SMOKING Editor Daily Kansan:
Abode—A two by four room stuck up on the third floor of a two and a half story house. A den, dump, or shack.
Recognizing the increasing importance of the field of chemical engineering, Columbia University has organized a separate department that branch of engineering, placing it on the same plane with the mining, civil electrical and mechanical engineering departments. The demand for engineers of this description is constantly growing in certain industries which have developed within the last few years. It is probable that before long practically every great university will be compelled to offer highly specialized courses to train men for this work.
Green Hall is full of signs saying that by an edict passed in 1914 smoking on the premises of the University of Kansas is absolutely forbidden, yet right on the steps of that same building, more than a dozen men may be seen smoking, between every class. Surely no one can excuse himself for not enforcing that rule by pleading that he has not seen any violation of it. Pipes, cigars, cigarettes—all of them contribute to the beautiful scene, until one would think it was an advertisement for a tobacco factory. And the worst of it is that the girls pass by there, and try to get past the crowd to get inside the building, and have to bump into the ends of burning cigars, risking having their eyes put out, accompanied by the mingled, delicate perfume of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Acacia—(Bot.) A genus of leguminous trees and shrubs, usually with thorns and pinnate leaves. Also genus homo. Universitas Kansiensi
Adult—Student old enough to carry a coffin-mail and be without fear of the "black hand"—of the Lawrence "law."
Advice—The cheapest commodity in the world, the easiest thing to dispense, and the hardest to take.

EXPLAINS PURPOSE OF Y. M.

A Girl.
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith through names will be omitted from uplibication if desired.
Many students of the University of Kansas think the only y. M. C. A., as an indefinite something which is supposed to exert some sort of control over them. They are in the dark as to the objective of the whole association which is:
"To lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ, as their divine Lord and Savior, according to the Holy Scriptures.
To lead students into membership and service of the Christian Church. "To promote their growth in the Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Scriptures.
Following Kansas
"To train them for work and leadership in applying the principles of Christ to the problems of human society.
Mistress—"Lend them our lawn mower to cut grass on the Sabbath. Certainly not! Tell them, Bridget, that we haven't one."—Boston Transcript.
"To win their life devotion to the purpose of Christ for the evangelization of the world."

Professor Bilks (gallantly)—“Oh, no, Miss Knowles. Quite the contrary, I assure you.”—Boston Transcript.
Niece—"I do think you are clever, aunt, to be able to argue with the professor about sociology."
Aunt—"I've only been concealing my ignorance, dear."
Chatty Neighbor—"I suppose you don't stand for any war-arguments among your boarders?"
