Brave New Term
Remember those fervent resolutions you muttered to yourself during final week? That desperate promise not to let reading assignments go until the end of the term after this? That disgusted decision to make your time count for more, another semester?
After you are sufficiently inspired to make the most of the coming semester, then resolve not to take it too seriously. You are expected to, and should, put lessons before other things; but there may be times when you legitimately can question the value of one assignment in comparison to a good concert or lecture. It's your future, and no one else can tell you what you want. Determining your course is your job, and now is a good time to get it straightened out.
But don't load yourself to capacity at once with extra-curricular activities. No matter how interested you are in the many opportunities for participation, you will find activities coming up through the semester which you would enjoy even more. Unless you plan under the limit at first, you inevitably will be overloaded at the end. And don't be afraid to say no as an alternative to doing your other activities or your health an injustice.
This is another new year's day as far as resolutions are concerned. If you have profited by your previous semester's experience, and have planned a schedule within your ability, it should not be impossible to stay with a few good study habits that you start now.
No Campaigns?
The student council at Baylor university, Waco, Texas, will vote soon on whether to permit campaigning on the campus for council representatives. Their present ruling denies that privilege.
How do students know the qualifications of candidates, we wonder. That is one of the points argued by those who favor repealing the law at Bavlor.
We also wonder whether adopting such a rule here might not prevent one of the worst aspects of our student government, namely, the way it is used as a political football.
Campaigning on the campus permits the party with the most money to hire an airplane and drop leaflets, getting further publicity by irritating the Buildings and Grounds department. It permits unorganized students to meet in the Union lounge to eat, dance, sing and otherwise become government-conscious. It promotes the system under which a candidate is elected or defeated because he belongs to a fraternal organization and not because of his qualifications for representing the student body.
If the forual political campaigns were forbidden, parties might offer positive platforms and responsible candidates, without the traditional mud-slinging. This, however, might make for even more inertia on the part of student voters than already exists. It might force more party strife and caucus appointment than we have now.
Whether Baylor university's old rule would improve or impair the K. U. political conditions, any suggestions merit consideration.
Luxury taxes are levied on employers for their men servants in England.
V-Day----1947
Poor Cupid—what chance has he any more?
The government is no help. The Kansas legislature is at work on a bill to require a three-day period between the time the marriage license is obtained and the time it is used. And a judge recently told a woman she should be thankful that she hadn't been killed, when he granted a divorce because she trumped her husband's ace.
All a man once had to do was to draw a fair maiden's name from a box and be her valentine for the next year; now by the time he has resigned himself to obeying the radio commercial that says "give her Mrs. Winterbottom's candy," a new program has come on the air and he is urged to "give her an Ultra-Ultra diamond."
But there is still hope. K. U. has extended Saturday night closing hours; and a Most Dateable Male contest is being sponsored in honor of the martyred saint. Gather up your arrows, Cupid, and keep trying—the Danforth chapel schedule isn't completely filled yet.

Lawrence was the fourth safest city in the United States in 1946, according to National Safety council traffic records. Nine thousand University students can play a big part in helping to keep it that way.
One disillusioned Latin student, after reading political news, says that "Vox populi" means "In God we trust."
A Philadelphia man tried to shoot his landlady because she told him to conserve electric light. As if rent ceilings weren't discouraging enough.
Ray Evans will speak next week on "How to Make the Most Out of College." One good way probably is to be an intelligent football hero.
The Lawrence League of Women Voters plans a meeting to discuss "the city manager in action." Maybe this will throw a little light on the argument of which sex really does the managing.
A local bridge player says that the person who calls a spade a spade is likely to go set.

141,000,000 piggy banks
That's a lot of piggy banks . . . one for every person in the United States.
Government was established to govern. It should not engage in any business. But, since government has used its privileges to enter into the world of business, we believe it should operate as other businesses do. It should bear its fair share of taxes, pay interest on loans, compete fairly.
We're proud to know our industry contributes so heavily to our national economy. BUT - while we're doing this, government-owned electric operations go virtually tax-free.
They hold a lot of pennies—but they wouldn't hold enough pennies to pay the federal tax bills of business-managed electric companies for the year 1946. Statistics are dull, but $600,000,000 in pennies—or any other currency—is an interesting sum.
They enjoy other financial advantages, too - little or no interest on loans, government absorption of losses thus avoiding responsibilities that every other business must assume.
In other words, if government is in business, it should be businesslike.
