Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1897.
As it was finally drafted, our Federal constitution is a compromise between two factions of the fathers. On the one side were the Jeffersonians who believed in a decentralized government, and opposing them were the Hamiltonians who favored a more centralized organization. Since that time there has been a perpetual discussion among our political leaders and historians regarding the value of each system. Other controversies have arisen from time to time concerning other aspects of the organization of government. However, in all the consideration of government practically no attention has been given to administration.

A GOOD ADMINISTRATION IS MORE IMPORTANT
A betterment of the administrative system in the crying need of our time. Incompetent and crooked officials will undermine and destroy the work of even the most perfect organization.
TED SHULTZ
Recently Ted Shultz, secretary of the University Y, M, C, A, received an offer of a position on the national staff of the organization—a position that, if accepted, will take him from Lawrence to offices in Colorado. In discussing the offer Mr. Shultz expressed a desire to stay with his work at K, U, if the policies under which he is conducting the organization here meet with approval.
Ever since embarking on his work here, Ted, as the students know him, has conducted what he calls a "campaign of thought." He has not limited the campaign to the gospel of religious dogma or Christian orthodoxy. He has sought, rather, to bring to students of the University those newer ideas, those more liberal conceptions which, according to our philosophers of education, are the necessary meat and drink of the receptive mind. He has not only led the revolt against the status quo in things sociological and religious—he has also guided it. He has preached the gospel of liberalism—not of radialism.
His methods in conducting his "campaign of thought" have not been arbitrarily dogmatic or coercive. Always he has left the final decision with the students. He has, by introducing speakers and lecturers of wide renown to the campus of the University through the Y. M. C. A. noon forum meetings, furnished the students with the best thought of the day—the creation of the best minds of the day. He selects speakers of widely variant points of view. He is not concerned with conviction; he seeks to awaken. And, to those who have watched his efforts, it is apparent that he has been successful.
And now comes the talk of his leaving. Just as his "campaign of thought" has reached its height in a series of brilliantly arranged forums and debates, and when its salutary and inspiring effect is beginning to be more thoroughly evidenced by awakened student interest, we learn that Ted may leave us.
We cannot but read between the lines. He does not wish to drop his work here; but—and it is a very human desire—he does want to be vindicated in the work he is doing; he
wants to know if his task of quickening the minds with which his organization comes in contact is meeting with the approval which he must, in his heart, believe it deserves. He wants to know if the voices of criticism he hear from time to time are the only voices—if criticism is the only reaction his efforts here have awakened.
The Kanan can answer some of these questions. Ted Shultz, there are those, and we believe them to be in the majority, who appreciate highly the work you are doing. There are those and their numbers are high, who have benefitted many times under your indirect tutelage. There are those, and will pit their voting strength against the others, who will regret and regret sincerely your leaving, if at the last time you decide to leave. The Kanan believes that it has a bouquet to present, and it doesn't want to make of the presentation a post mortem ceremony. Ted Shultz, we hope you stay.
THE OLD,OLD COMPLAINT
The old, old complaint is with us again. Once more at election time the echoes of the old fight, sorority versus non-sorority women, are heard. Yesterday the elections for Y.W.C.A. officers were held and the result was quite unexpected, and totally surprising. Again the sororites turned out on elect to vote their candidate. In addition to the nominations made by the nominating committee, selections were received from the floor. The result was that the organizations nominated their candidates and elected her.
Then the old complaint began. The few unorganized women who were present at the election were surely disappointed in the outcome. From all appearances they were justified in their discontent. Never before had the Veepers called forth such an overwhelming crowd; never before had the chairs be so well filled. It seems that all the freshmen and pledges of organizations had been ordered out to elect their candidate. And they did.
What are the unorganized women going to do about it? Nothing. Nothing at all. Perhaps if they would back their candidates the result would be more satisfying to them, if they would vote, if they would run up at the right time, they would effect a more satisfactory result. Nevertheless, the condition is one that ought to be remedied. In this case the problem is up to the women who are not members of an organization. They, themselves, must remedy it or refrain from complaint.
DO STUDENTS WANT AN EDUCATION?
Why don't college students take an interest in world affairs, questions that are before the whole of mankind, and which must eventually be solved? This attitude of disinterest has been demonstrated time after time, and only night has a pertinent example illustrated the lack of student interest in world problems.
The debate last night between John Newin Sayre and Prof. Dinsmore Alter was attended by a mere handful of people, a negligible percentage of all the students. The discussion concerned war, which is doubtless the most pressing problem of the day. Another world conflict would, if not destroy civilization, give it a reserver

backset. A world war in the future is certain to be a far more horrible catastrophe than the last one. And get college students, the ones most logically fitted to work out a plan of refuge, refuse to take an interest.
An education undoubtedly implies the knowledge of international events and the tread of world affairs. But does the ordinary college student really desire to obtain an education? Is he interested in the trend of human relations? Has he enough ambition to attempt a solution of world problems? Are students really trying to get an education, do they want to learn what an educated person does know?
College students of today are citi citizens of tomorrow.

Editor Daily Kansan:
The student committee now working on a plan to finance the completion of the first section of the Union building should consider every project for raising the money carefully before recommending any such project.
It is doubtful whether such a tax is practical, even if it were small. The cost of hiring additional building would approach too closely to the idea of an all-University club.
If an individual does not care to use the Union building, he surely should not be compelled to do so. If it does not till it need a need for him, why should he go near it? If he does not certainly have that responsibility has not to nay for it.
Preumably such a blanket tax would have to be conditioned, therefore, upon the wishes of the students to pay it, just as is the present athletic tax. The fact that nearly half of them from tax last fall, and that the students purchased several hundred less activity tickets than the previous
the use of the Union building is not an activity, but it is extracurricular and therefore there is a large ground floor that could be used for appeal. They would undoubtedly apply for exemption from the tax, and it would not put them in any legal danger on those who did not take enough interest in saving a two-dollars to apply for an exemption. They are also likely to lay oureyes open to the criticism that we are "Sucking in" the student or something that they do not want, and they will not need any Union popular. E, K, S
