THE RESULTS
The Pachacamaca party has practically made a clean sweep. The Kansan is not partisan, but it sincerely hopes that the victors will spring a surprise and put the constructive provisions of its platform into effect. The students who want student government, are expecting;
1. A functioning student council.
This part of the platform is mostly an implication that the council under the opposing party was not functioning. It is highly improbable whether the council this year has been much worse than previous bodies, but most students can see plenty of room for improvement. The Pachacamac party can gain considerable prestige by putting this part of the platform into effect.
2. Proportional representation
The Pachacamac party will perhaps jeopardize its swearing control of the council in future years by giving minority representation according to its voting strength, but it will be bringing a progressive type of elections into effect. The Kansan hopes that the Pachacamac party is sincere in this part of the platform.
3. Student discipline. The new council can obtain control over student discipline in no better way than to show in other respects that it will fulfil election promises. Student discipline is an experiment, but it is worth trying.
4. Representative class officers. If the women are content with the vice presidencies and the secretariats it will be hard to bring them back into politics. The Kuman hopes that this plank can be carried out, with less ballyhoo policies for both men and women candidates for class officers.
6. Student control of the Union building. This is looking ahead, something the parties seldom do. Institution of student control, not political control in the name of student control is a worthy project.
5. Tryouts for cheerleaders. What effect tryouts for cheerleaders would have is highly doubtful, but at least it is worthy of consideration.
7. Sunday tennis. If it is within the power of the council to obtain Sunday tennis, we hope to see it soon. In any case the council can build up and express student opinion in the matter.
8. Improvement of Potter lake.
The council can do little more than create student opinion for a better Potter lake. The University is fortunate in having Potter lake, and should take advantage of its possibilities by improving it so that it may become a favorite swimming place.
This progressive platform is unusual for student elections. Its adoption will be a revolution in student government. We are "from Missouri," but are willing to put on rose-colored glasses when the proper time comes.
IS YOUR Y. M. C. A. PLEDGE PAID?
One evening last October 150 men students gathered in the Commons to institute a financial campaign for the H Y, M. C. A. with youthful enthusiasm the group separated to various parts of Lawrence where contributions and pledges were sought from fellow-students.
Today, almost $800 of the total
amount pledged last October has not been paid in. Three hundred students were willing to make a pledge, but when it came time for paying it, the spirit failed to move them.
Letters enclosing stamped envelopes were sent last month to all students that were back in the payment of their pledges, with the request that they inform the Y. office as to whether they would be able to pay. A very small percentage of answers was received.
Relying on the promises and the integrity of the student body, the Y. M. C. A. created a budget that it will be unable to meet unless the student promises are fulfilled. Forgetfulness or selflessness dominates this group of three hundred. If forgetfulness has been the cause of the students' neglect, they should fulfill their pledges at once on this reminder. If selfishness is the cause, the pledge will remain unpaid and the Y. M. C. A. will have to narrow its program of campus activities for the ensuing year.
BASEBALL STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT
"Batter up!" that ery resounding throughout the nation indicates that the baseball season is on. The national pastime, that we liked to play so well as youngsters and which we enjoy seeing so much as grownups, is started on its way for another year of popularity.
Our own University of Kansas nine played its first valley games of the season last week. It emerged with credible results and is continuing the battle with more contests during this week.
The dayhawker nine of last year was one of the best of the valley and finished in second place but nevertheless the games did not get the attendance that they deserved. This year's squad promises to be as good if not better than last season's.
The reason for the small attendance of the University games cannot be because there are few University men who are red-blooded enough to appreciate the game. It must be because these same men believe that the caliber of university baseball is too low. If this is the reason then it should be discarded at once because the quality of play by the Missouri Valley teams now ranks high.
Our team plays the first home game on next Monday afternoon and it is up to the students to show by their attendance just how much they really think of baseball. A worthy game against a worthy opponent with worthy will result if the attendance is large.
