BILL WHITE CHANGES
William Allen White, dean of Kansas journalists, has gone modern. In the Emporia Gazette last Saturday there appeared no less than 29 comic strips. It wasn't so long ago that the editor swore he would rather die than print a comic supplement.
And anyway we bet the kids welcome the change.
The Emporia sage should be honored. Too few men who set their minds on something refuse to change their viewpoints to meet the changing times. William Allen White is an editor who is strong in his convictions and straddles no fences. When he decided that this was the thing to do, instead of crawfishing about it he cracks out with a whole supplement of 29. It was a complete breakover without fooling the public involved.
The GOP had as its presidential slogan "Keep Cool with Coolidge" one year. Why can't the Democrats emulate the idea and say, "Keep Rosey with Roosevelt" in the 1936 campaign?
"MUD"
The women have voted. As the Kansan goes to press, however, we have not had the time to discover whether the usual combines between the usual houses were in existence. We sincerely hope not, although the plan presented furnished us no assurance that such conditions could not as easily arise as under the old plan.
We do believe that the women should be given the opportunity to display their honesty of purpose, and in light of this consideration will express ourselves as satisfied with the outcome, if only temporarily.
What about the men? They have an election on the griddle for about the middle of April. Will it be political or will it be a fair and impartial consideration of the best interests of the students? Since we are not visionaries, we do not believe that any consideration will be taken of the students in any manner except in the attempt to secure votes.
Any party or league which employs the tactics used in the men's campaign last spring is not worthy of the consideration of the student body. The mud, as you will remember, was slung from all angles, and at anything which had the remotest relationship to the campaign. If such tactics are again employed we give fair warning that the group or groups employing those tactics will receive no support of ours in the impending election.
OL' MAN RIVER
The Mississippi is on a tear again. The valley through which flows the "Father of Waters" is once more inundated with the floods from the annual spring thaw. Acre upon acre of rich, fertile farm land is being destroyed
and laid waste by the rushing of the angry waters. Farmers are being made homeless and landless, lives are being lost, and money is being spent for relief of flood victims.
We have heard much about flood control in the past several years, but each time the government appropriates money for river work, some one sends up the cry of "pork." There may be a measure of graft in this business of river work and the building of levees, but there is no more here than is in the administration of the relief which must inevitably follow the damage which results when a levee breaks or the banks overflow.
We have spent millions of dollars in relief for the Mississippi flood victims and will probably spend millions more in the future, but would it not be cheaper to spend our time and funds in the construction of adequate safeguards against the rampages of Old Man River? Levees are cheaper than the loss of life, property, and a means of livelihood.
Clothes may make the man, but a college degree doesn't always make a scholar.
BETTYS
There are only forty-five Smiths on the Hill this year, and what fun it is to sit in a class where about five have that name and listen to the professor call the roll!
But this fun is far surpassed in Oklahoma City, where in one grade Bettys rate ten in twelve. After calling "Betty" and having ten replies all at once, the teacher decided to be more selective and called "Betty Jean," and she was much more successful—only four hands went up.
On these nice spring days on the Hill, when all you want to do is sit around and think—but not in a class room — and Mr. Smith opens his book and calls Smith, Smith, Smith, down the roll and finds ten out of the twelve Smiths here in school like "Cokes" better than mathematics, then spring is here!

Editor's note: The Kansan will present in this column thumb-nail sketches of the members of the faculty.
Sergeant C. E. Engle
There's that something about a soldier that makes the personality of Sergeant C. E. Engle strike something fine in University students who would be rife men or rifle women.
Sergeant Engle received his first military training in the C.M.T.C. at Mede, Maryland, in 1921 and 1922. He ran away from home in November, 1924, to join the army, enlisting in Washington, D.C. He was wounded in the attack, received most of his training at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio.
Sergeant Engle was one of the soldiers who fought in the battles in the pictures "Wings" and "The Big Parade," which were made near Fort Sam Houston. His chief worry as an actor was that his work on the picture would keep him from hearing Babe Ruth make his home runs. His chief sports are fishing and baseball.
Sergent Engle was trained for sharpshooting under Lieutenant Robert Ingall, and later under Lieutenant E. H. Coe, who is also an ininstructor in the Military Science department.
Article in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanan. Article over 200 words in length may contain errors or omissions on tensions any of these are invited.
Sergeant Engle is married, and has a son and daughter.
Many have long desired a change in the form of our student government. The division of the women's and men's governing associations is a superfluous one, and one that defeats the purpose of the two organizations.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Daily Kansan
What if our national government were divided into two bodies, one for the women and one for the men? We certainly could not let them to have a compartment for women, but we seem very stupid to think that men should be governed under one body and

In these days of semational political exposes on our fair campus, party heads quake for fear of what will be expected reprehensible, the freshmen.
For the most part uninitiated in the mysteries of Mount Oread politics, the yearlings have scarcely a glimmering of the situation now existing. Three years hence, however, they will be the campus leaders, and student government may be more than the mere joke it now is.
The task of froth enlightenment is hereby undertaken for what it may be worth. As to the Women's Self-Governing Association, recent Kansas articles have brought the combine situation into the clear. This article will be devoted therefore to the Men's Student Council and political parties.
To start at the beginning, all accredited men students are members of the Associated Men of the University of Kansas. How many freshmen (or nonfreshmen) should we please. Exercising the governing powers which have been granted the Association is the Men's Student Council. This Council is selected at a general election hold each spring by the retirement council. The 25 new members
have one set of rules while the women would have another set. This would seem like a great waste of energy and forces.

"United we stand; divided we fall."
This can apply to our student government as well as to anything else. As it is, the two governments seem to work against one another. Each tries to show the other that it is the more important and efficient, and that nothing can be "put over on them" by the other body. What can either group accomplish undoubtedly? Either can become a truly governing force in our university is to effect a common organization, common officer, and a common purpose toward the bet-terment of our school. -B.J.D.

A young man received his A.B. degree from the University of Chicago in 18 months. We presume he'll take things a little slower now that he's out. At that rate, however, he should become a bank president in six weeks, working his way up from messenger boy as all traditionally good bankers do.

When these purposes are translated to realities in the form of enacted bills, they amount to such things as the pitifully neglected paddling of freshmen, the regulation of traffic on the campus, and the issuance of K.U. parking licenses. All very important matters, to be sure.
The purposes of the council, according to its constitution, are to promote the highest interests of the University and to cultivate school loyalty among the students, to conserve the ideals and traditions of the University, to cooperate with the governing bodies of the University in all matters within the jurisdiction of the Association, to promote and regulate the activities and to be the official governing body for the men students of the University.

Two political parties, the Oread Kayhawacs, — now extinct, — and the Pachacamacs, formerly existed for the main purpose of electing members to the Men's Student Council and controlling their actions as much as possible. The Oread-Kayhawacs advertised as a party for non-freemunity men (fraternities not barred), and the Pachacamacs for non-freemunity men to authenticate their Greek and non-Greek brotherhood platform.

We now reach the stage of our article where part of our freshman class in politics might as well go to bed and get some sleep. We refer to fraternity members. Their political affiliations and activities are cut out for them in advance by their lodges. At this juncture, then, we point out for the unaffiliated freshman the three political choices facing him. These are:
In the first place, he may join a political party. Since our representatives must be elected from the candidates of one of the parties, this is the only way to become a student leader on our side. In order to promote character development, he will perhaps gain the sacred privacy of Pachacamaca's inner council or what

was once the golden fellowship of Oread- Kayhawk's mutual admiration society. Glorious possibilities, young man!
Secondly, he may merely play the role of a loyal son of Kansas by dutily pushing his ballot through the slit each spring under the suspicious eyes of party scouts. He can thus fulfill his duties as a citizen and will have enough time to be a social lion or a Phi Beta Kappa.
Now thirdly, if there should be anyone who has not yet decided upon his course, he can be a cynic. Yes, he can turn up his nose at student government and pray for better days to come on Mount Oread.
But, sonny, you are likely to become socialist, or something. Our lecture concluded. Class dismissed.
