INTELLIGENT VOTERS? How many people vote for a candidate because he is the best man for the office rather than because of his party affiliations? Of twenty-five voters questioned regarding this, twenty-three admitted that they were voting for the party rather than for the man. It is interesting also to note that none had a good reason for belonging to his respective party. The result of this census would lead one to wonder about the intelligence of American voters. Have they become such "died-in-the-wool" Democrats, Republicans, or Socialists, as the case may be, that they no longer have any problem confronting them before election time? They are simply reminded by the newspapers that it is the time to go to the polls, and they cast their ballots in a most nonchalant manner. People seem to be afraid to change party affiliation for fear it will seem an admission of error in their original choice. The future government of the United States is only a minor detail compared with the status of the individual, according to his way of thinking. Progress will be impossible as long as there is no desire for improvement and no attempt on the part of the individual to get out of the rut in which he finds himself. How fortunate that scientists do not maintain the same idea regarding changes. In the story in yesterday's Kansan, concerning the rally for the football team, we discovered this sentence: "The rally is to give the team a god send-off for their encounter with the St. Louis team." That certainly is a new wrinkle in collegiate send-offs, but of course the world is always changing. A WISE MOVE The proposal of the Men's Student Council to combine the cost of the activity ticket, the athletic ticket, the Union fee, the council budget fee and the Jahyawker into one compulsory fee is a step in the right direction. This plan has been in operation in many of the leading universities and colleges for several years with satisfactory results. As it is now on the campus, the activity ticket will probably not be offered to the students next year, owing to the lack of support given to this beneficial and cultural series of entertainments. Also the Jayhawker has not received the support that is due it. The combining of the costs of these various student enterprises into one compulsory fee, which would reduce the cost of each individual activity far below this year's price, would not impose a serious handicap on any student. The plan is workable, as witness its success at other schools, and it can be made workable at Kansas without any serious difficulty. All local Kansans will join in the fervent hope that our Jayhawkers will make goats of the St. Louis Billikens in fact as well as name when they clash tonight on the gridiron in St. Louis.

FRANCES BALLARD, Chairman BACK IN THE BUGGY DAYS Campus folks hardly turned their heads when a pair of bicycles, pedaled by two stalwart looking young men, made their way across the campus yesterday afternoon. Tuesday a creaking old buggy, an example of the latest in buggy styles of twenty years ago, was slowly drawn across the campus by a frail appearance horse. Every day, droning overhead, is an airplane, that circles and hovers over Mount Ouled like a huge bird. It evidently is piloted by a student aviator. The world burries on Tomorrow it will be some other swifter and more convenient form of transportation. Today student cars fill the prescribed parking places on top of Mount Oread. In a few years perhaps the intramural field, on the south side of the Hill, will be used for an aviation field for student planes. Great strides have been taken in the past thirty years of transportation history with the automobile and the airplane. In the next thirty years maybe the rocket plane or some other device will be proved a success. But whatever takes place, we shall never forget the first ride that we took without parental supervision in the old spring wagon. Nor can we ever forget the training period of learning to ride a bicycle, when trees and telephone poles seemed to grow in the middle of the road. Not even the first airplane ride thrilled us as much as that ride in the spring wagon, when we had to hold on for dearly life when Nellie was given the rein and started galloping off toward Conard's. Of course traveling in a spring wagon wasn't the prevalent mode of transportation in our youth, but for some reason Nollie and the spring wagon were retained for some time after the first car was bought. In this time of depression and strife comes the announcement that the athletic department will meet all current expenses this year without borrowing funds. The statement came as a surprise to many, because of the noticeable decrease in attendance at the football games this season. Memories of those days have always lived and the sight of the old buggy being drawn slowly across the campus and the two bicycles appearing on Mount Oread, where science is at work striving for new information, awoke them. They did appear out of place, but they recalled the time that Nellie ran away with us and the time that we smashed the front wheel of our brother's new second-hand bicycle. The drone of an airplane overhead interrupts our reminiscence. Somewhere, someone is perfecting the rocket plane or some other swiffer means of transportation, and we are looking forward to the first ride. COMPLIMENTS DUE With incomes in every type of business activity not meeting the expenses, it is a notable event to have a balanced budget. The members of this department are to be congratulated on their foresight in anticipating and planning for the material drop in receipts. Now that students in the college do not have to present official absence cards, they can continue in their same habits without having a guilty conscience. "IT'S PRETTY, BUT IS IT ART?" The showing of a picture at a downtown theater featuring crooning has again revived that old debate topic, "Is crooning a disease?" As exemplified by those far-famed masters of the ether, Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallee and Russ Colombo, crooning has reigned in the United States for several years now, and still the epithets and platitudes by which it is described vary widely in fact, they vary so widely that most of them cannot be mentioned here. To many, this form of disturbing the sound waves is the lowest pastime the world has yet known. On the other hand, there are the members of a huge group to which crooning is a joy and a delight and who would not consider their lives complete without it. Frankly, whether one is a crooning enthusiast or not, he just can't resist tapping his foot to some of the snappy, stirring tunes. The words to these tunes are made up largely of a babble of love, kisses, moons and stars, on the whole inane and astime. Like everything else, crooning has both its good and bad aspects. As a product of the commercial age it gives the people what they want for a short time, advertisers a show or product, makes money for the composer and publisher and dies, leaving the 'field again open. Chambers, Neb.-(UP) -Duck hunters this fall may take to the highways of North Nebraska instead of the lakes and marches. Sandhill lakes and grasslands provide grazing ducks without the customary feeding grounds. The oil-surfaced highways, glistening in the morning and at sundown, deceive the ducks into coming ashore. The ducks present. The fowl fly close to the roadways before discovering their mistake. Campus Opinion Elliott Dalla Konanti The placing of the coming Freshman election on a democratic basis by the use of the Australian ballot instead of the present helter-skelter standing vote was recently proposed to the Men's Student Council. Editor Daily Kansan: The total cost of printing ballots, for the election clerks who cannot leave their pads, and any other minor expenses in no event exac- Here are the facts: In the present undigested shoutout system of self-expression by the freshmen, the voters stand in a long, heaving, shrieking line until they are finally admitted to the Central Administration Auditorium. The only qualification for the voter is that he know the name, address, and phone number of one freshman listed in the student directory. After introducing the candidates amid the hustle and churning, a standing vote is taken (the Bund is quicker than the eye) and another roomfull of voters is admitted. By the Australian balloon, the officers could be elected honourably and democratically. The election would continue throughout the day instead of only two hours in the evening and would mean more convenient for all freshman voters. The voting could be carried on in an ordinary fashion. There would be no impromptu party rallys, in the halls, in a sunlight election. The whole procedure would be carried on in an ordinary manner, and it must be agreed to an intelligent electorate. At present the Men's Student Council is divided on the question. Most of the fraternity members wish the present system continued as it undoubtedly gives the edge to the fraternity vote. Other states are in favor of practical democracy, are anxious to see the installation of the Australian ballot. This situation parallels our national and local political games. A few honest statesmen are always bucking the opposition. We are successful on the small scale of our own college campus than it is on the national scale in Washington. Againstum.
