IS OPPOSED TO HONOR SYSTEM
ONTRARY TO LAWS OF JUS TICE, SAYS HODDER.
Find Two Glaring Faults in the System as Used at Tulane and n th eEast.
Is student sentiment ripe for an honor system or is it possible to start it at the University of Kansas? This is the question before the joint committee of the to Student Councils that has been appointed for that purpose. The committee has been trying to asertain the trend of student opinion on the system.
Professor Hodder in an interview yesterday said, "The honor system, as I understand it, and as I have seen it at work at Touland and in the East, is not practicable to be applied here. There are two good reasons why I do not think that it will work here. In the first place the pledge that the students are required to take that they have not received help or given it is fundamentally wrong and opposed to the laws of justice. By the pledge you accuse everyone of being dishonest until they prove themselves otherwise. My idea is that everyone should be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. Having the professor leave the room is another feature that does not prove satisfactory. Such a measure really puts a premium on honesty. It is placing too much temptation before that small element which may want to cheat.
When Professor Hodder was told that the system under consideration for the University required neither a pledge of the student nor the disappearance of the professor from the class room during the quizz, he thought that such a system would most likely work.
"The only objection that I can see to this new plan," he concluded. "is the inborn prejudice among the students against the tattletale. The only thing that I can think of to get around this fact is that the student would be required to appear before a student committee and not go to any of the faculty."

A Chart of Conditions in Entire State Being Made.
IS TESTING WATER.
Clifford C. Young, water analysis expert of the chemistry department, has been working on the analysis of waters from different parts of the state in connection with the state water survey that is being made by Prof W. C. Hoad, who has direction of the work.
Mr. Young said this morning that by analysis the waters of the state contained too much iron and manganese and that this was especially true of the waters along the Kaw river. To these substances can be laid the cause of the red stains that are often seen on porcelain utensils, and the like. These substances in the water also make it difficult for laundries to send back clothes pure white, as these substances stain clothes slightly yellow.
By the state water survey it is expected to determine the normal amount of these substances in water in any part of the state To Peka, Lawrence and Argentine especially are the towns that suffer from these elements.
The water survey expects to make a chart of the entire state, showing the percentage of these substances in the water. After the survey has been completed time will be devoted to perfecting a process for reducing the amount of iron and manganese. The cities that are troubled with this foreign substance in the water may adopt it and thus reduce the amount of iron and manganese.

CARRUTH FOR SUFFRAGE
Spoke at Banquet of Kansa Equal Suffrage.
At the banquet of the Kansas Equal suffrage association in Topeka last night, Professor Carruth came out for equal suffrage. He said in part:
Someone asked me recently when I was converted to suffrage. And I told them that I never was converted, that I was born converted. I have, during the past thirty years, written several long speeches defending suffrage, but I have grown tired of arguing the subject. For there is no argument against suffrage. The man or the woman who talks suffrage is a person of prejudices and of attitudes. In the masculine mind opposed to suffrage there are two attitudes which dominate: One of these attitudes is pride. Man holds tenaciously to the privileges which he enjoys and which are not conceded to the other sex. But the modern man who says, I hold the right to vote and I refuse to share it,' is like the Czar of Russia. He likes to consider himself the special lord of creation. And if woman enjoyed the privilege of the ballot, he would no longer be her superior, but merely her equal. There is another class of men whose attitude towards suffrage is one of fear. They, by what law the self-appointed rulers of the universe we know not, are afraid that if they extend the privilege of suffrage to women, that feminine nature would be changed. And it is their duty to preserve feminine nature." Then Mr. Carruth called Lyman Abbott and several others of the offenders of the suffragists "dear old grannies who have become liberal along most other lines, but who still hold to conservatism on the suffrage question." "But," added Professor Carruth, "no man argue against suffrage if he believes in a republican form of government. His argument is not consistent if he excludes any person, of mature age and of sound mind, outside the penitentiaries, from casting a ballot."

and the institutions to which they belong; and second, to the public in general.
The football rules committee will be entirely mistaken if i goes on the supposition that the objections to the present game are superficial and due to hysteria. The objections to the present game are in the minds of most people well grounded, deep-seated, and strong enough to endanger the game in, I believe, a large part of the West unless something is done to substantially modify the present rules. I should not be surprised to see adverse action on the part of governing boards of universities and colleges, and even by the legislatures in the different states. I am writing because it is often very difficult to get men who have been associated with institutions on independent foundations to understand the very close relationship and responsibility that state universities have to bear, which relationship and responsibility are so close as to throw a great burden upon the heads of the institutions. I am writing, also not as an opponent to football, but as its friend, and from much observation and some knowledge of the general situation.'
"All the members of the Board of Regents have felt disturbed in regard to the football situation. Some of them are much more radical in their opinion than others, but all have an eye single to the best interests of the University its student body and the state,and are trying to arrive at a solution that will be best for all. A motion to abolish the game entirely was lost, the vote being a tie Another resolution, after many changes and amendments which were inserted in consideration of the administration of the University and of its views, was passed So far as I am concerned, myself, I feel sure that a fair chance will be given to solve the difficulty of the present American game, and that football will not be abolished but some form of the game It seems to me that the right thing now is for everybody to give the matter full and careful consideration, without prejudice so far as possible, so that the question may be considered in all its fundamental bearings and the solution arrived at that will be satisfactory and permanent."

That Much Needed Paneling.
"The new paneling put in this week at the museum will serve several purposes. It will preserve the specimens, which, being in a separate room, will not be subjected to changes in temperature and moisture. It will also cut down the heating expense. Then besides it will keep out vandals who have a bent for writing their names on the goats' horns and riding the buffaloes," said an observant student, whose work takes him to the museum frequently.

About fifty students chiefly of the School of Fine Arts, have planned to go. Tickets can be obtained only at Jenkins' music store, or of Mr. Shaub, at Convention hall.
The faculty and students of the School of Medicine at the University of Kansas have formed a medical society. Meetings will be held several times during the year. It is the purpose of the society to hear papers and to have discussions on subjects connected with the practice of medicine, but broader than those treated in the ordinary class-room discussion. The lives of great physicians and surgeons will be studied, questions relating to the ethical side of the practice, discussed, and recent developments in the medical sciences brought to the attention of the members.

Defends Yellow Journalism, but Means Something Else.
At the first annual journalism conference held last week at the University of Kansas under the auspices of the department of journalism, the interest centered in the remarks of Arthur Brisbane, editor of W. R. Hearst's paper, the New York Journal. Mr. Brisbane did not defend what is ordinarily spoken of as yellow journalism. He condemned severely the publication of vicious and immoral stories. As he, himself, used the term yellow journalism it means the vigorous type of journalism which is actively engaged in fighting against public and private wrongs. This type of newspaper, Mr. Brisbane favors. He does not greatly admire what he calls the quiet kind of paper. He believes that it is the first duty of a newspaper to expose municipal or political corruption and to work for a fairer distribution of wealth. The journalism conference will meet next year at the University of Missouri.
