"But the transformation of a country's land system from a feudal basis, which it is on at present, to a system of small individual ownerships, can not be made in a few weeks or months. The ignorant masses of the people labored under about the same delusion regarding the recent revolution as prevailed among our slaves in the civil war, who believed the government would give every man forty acres and a mule. Diaz was done — did he. Made was seen why the poor man wants see why his mule and forty acres are not forthcoming at once. This gives ambitious politicians the opportunity to stir up trouble which may further their personal schemes in politics."
"I believe the Madero government is honestly trying to carry out its campaign promises," said the Dean to a reporter for the Daily Kansan, today. "Provisions have been made to divide the land still in the government's hands into small holdings, and a large sum has been appropriated over the estate of the large estates with a view of dividing them up into smaller ownerships and thus give the man of small means a chance to own property.
Conditions in Mexico just now are puzzling to most Americans. After rallying round the banner of Madero to unseat the hated Diaz, at least a part of the population now seems as anxious to dispose Madero as they were to put Diaz out of office. Dean Olin Templin of the College, who recently spent a vacation in Mexico thinks the present uprisings are caused by the failure of the people to comprehend the magnitude of the work which the Maderista government finds on its hands in straightening out the economic situation of the country.
Dean Templin believes it would be unfortunate for Mexico should the Madero government fail to weather the storms that are being raised against it. Time to carry out the actions that must be taken is the great need for the country now, he says.
"The Mexicans are a hospitable, kind, but withal impulsive people," he said. "If you can keep a Mexican from doing something on the spur of the moment, he is not likely to do harm. Moreover, they are patriotic to the core, and regard this country's troubles as a matter to be settled by Mexicans alone. For that reason, American intervention, if attempted, would stin up a great storm of opposition through all classes of Mexican society."
ROSS E. HALL ENTERTAINS
Thirty Couples Enjoyed his Hospitality at Ekeos' last Friday.
Ross E. Hall, a member of the Graduate School, entertained thirty couples last Friday evening with a dancing party in Eckes's hall. The programs for the ladies were white leather pendants done in gold and blue, and for the men were leather booklets embossed with the initials of the host.
At midnight a three course luncheon was served. Music for the twenty dances was furnished by Owen's orchestra.
A Canadian Student Council Clashes The Varsity, the undergraduate newspaper of the University of Toronto, gave over a recent issue of the paper to a discussion of the question: "What Power Should Parliament Have?" The Parliament referred to is their student organization, similar to this University's student councils. The Parliament is having a clash of authority with the "Caput," the faculty discipline committee.

New York University Men Have Borrowed More Than $20,000
A large number of students who otherwise would never receive the benefits of a college education are enabled to go to New York University through the generosity of persons who have established loan funds of various amounts and through the leniency of the college authorities who take their notes for tuition. The system of lending money to needy students—at five per cent—is of twenty-four years standing at the university.
This year one hundred and sixty-
three men and women have borrowed
approximately $20,000. In addi-

FROM LEAP YEAR TRIALS
The girls of the Fine Arts department are anxiously awaiting the time when the University will be rich enough to afford them equipment that they want. (In Fowler Shops.)
Until year before last, women were doing work in the Shops, but on account of the great increase in the number of men taking shop, the instructors became so busy that they were forced to discontinue the classes for girls.
"A special instructor for girls was to be hired last year," said Prof F. E. Ward this morning. Then, when our budget was operated on, we were unable to secure an instructor on account of a lack of funds."
The women' work did not consist of hammering scrap iron, but was confined to making the vases that were used by the Fine Arts department,
KANSAS SUFFRAGISTS REST ON THEIR ARMS
on the college have tuition notes amounting to $8131 from eighty-nine students. In principle this money lending system has much to commend it. It does make possible an education for many needy and generally diligent students, but there can be no question that the man who leaves college with five or six hundred dollars finds him in a very heavy, grevy barten

If he happens to be one of those average students whom Dr. Hibben describes as earning six dollars a week upon graduation his troubles are especially embarrassing. A good many self-supporting college graduates will readily admit that they had a hard time making both ends meet during their first five years of working life, and they dislike very much to think what would have happened to them if they had been forced to pay off in that time a debt that they had incurred during their college days.

CLASS PRESIDENTS OF MICHIGAN FORM CLUB
Left to right-Marion Johnson, Gaylord Phipps, Henry Pegues
Past and present presidents of all the campus classes of the University of Michigan, met recently and formed an organization whose aim is to be the betterment of campus conditions and the unification of the various departments. Much enthusiasm were exhibited by the older men, who felt that such a club would fill a long-felt want, and would be able to act in unison with such bodies as the Student Council, to a common end.
"The attitude of most Kansas women is absolutely indifferent in regard to the suffrage issue," said Dr. Helen Brewster Owen, speaking before the Women's Equal Suffrage League of the University, in Myers hall last Friday. "Most women express themselves as fully confident that afterward they will be willing to privilege with men," she continued, "and place implicit faith in their husbands and brothers to get it for them."

"First," she said, "you can carry the message home and educate those around you to the prevailing faults in our present political system." "Secondly, you can do a great deal to do away with the primitive idea that the duties of women as a voter and in public life are unwomanly."

"In the work of primitive woman," Mrs. Owen explained "the mother had everything that touched her family's existence under her direct charge. The age of invention has taken all this work out of her hands given it to the factories and placed men in charge, and yet," she declared, "you deny that woman has any right to make laws saying what her children shall eat, what her children shall wear or how they shall be educated, under present social conditions she can only do through the ballot."

Ohio Women Reject Suffrage
Ohio Women Reject Sutrage The women at Ohio Wesleyan recently decisively defeated their suffrage by a vote of practically two to one. The vote was taken at a women's suffrage meeting where 87 of the 88 counties of Ohio were represented, and is thought to be representative of the attitude of the educated women of the state. The vote was 110 to 58.
