REETHOVEN
the centennial of Beethoven's death is being celebrated this week by musicians and music lovers throughout the country. In nearly every musical center programs are being devoted entirely to this matter.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Well does Beethoven deserve our attention. He marks the height of instrumental composition. His symphonies remain the greatest body of orchestral works in the world. The piano student who has reached the Beethoven stage reveals in the master's sonatas. Those who are not that far advanced look forward to the time when they can play Beethoven. String quartets feel that they have reached the peak when they play Beethoven adequately. And the composer left masterpieces for other ensembles and solo instruments.
Not being content with being the master of instrumental music, Beethoven wrote many songs of distinct worth. Certain it is that he deserves a week devoted to his memory.
"STUDENT GOVERNMENT"
Henry Seigel, former merchant prince, is at 68, seeking divorce from his third wife. There's one man who has a right to be cynical.
The principal activity of student government at the University—political campaigns and elections—will soon be under way. It doesn't sound exactly right; that elections should be the principal activity in connection with student government, but at Kansas such is the condition.
The Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. will be elected as the two governing bodies, but the governing will be in name only. The men's council may legislate in regard to freshman caps, if the legislation is not too radical, and may discuss a cooperative bookstore. It may even try men who violated University rulings and set a penalty—and the penalty may or may not be allowed to stand as the council decrees. Past experience shows that the council judgments are not necessarily final.
The activities of the W. S. G. A. are somewhat similar to those of the Men's Student Council. The women's organization discuses minor matters, quarrels with the men's council, and, when "inspired" by the higher powers above, emits date rules and rooming house regulations. So far as final and unmindfuelled judgment on important matters is concerned, the W. S. G. A. does not exist.
It is small wonder that upperclassmen get disgusted with student politics and "student government." It doesn't take many years at the University for one to see that student government is a force.
THE DEMOCRACY OF WOMEN
This is a great, fine University with all its democracy and—Yes, yes! Democracy is the thing. What a democratic school! Where all men are free and equal and women are— The recent ruling concerning the coming elections made by the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. is the cause for this spirited outburst of enthusiasm. How noble it is for these two groups to decide that only men
will elect men class officers and only women will choose the secretary of each class.
The democracy of women has taken a rapid stride. One more step and the men will be electing members of the W. S. G, A.华 when the ladies of the school sit by and look pretty,
But why must these conceived male aim to three out of four officers? Politics, politics, politics!
In a large city high school, not more than fifty miles from here, where, before the recent addition of other high schools the daily attendance was close to 4,000, girls were frequently elected president of a class, and girls, sometimes at least, were considered most competent to handle the school annual. It is evident then, that when a young woman reaches the University, all the ability which she once possessed is immediately lost. No longer is she capable of directing the activities of a class or of performing the duties of the editor of an annual. And we begin to wonder how, with graduation from the University, she will ever be able even to assume the duties of the director of a household. Education is a bad thing for women.
What this University needs is some women with enough initiative and courage to assert their rights and take them. Because a woman has never been president of the United States should women be deprived of the possibility of becoming president of a University class? It is a thought that all hot blossoms.
But of course, women should have learned long ago that the most generous of men are always hogs-in politics.
NOT REGISTERING
Convinced neither by the calendar nor by the state of our brain power that mid-conductors are here, it has taken the instructors to prove it to us. Even yet we aren't registering much, although we have survived a couple and dreamly anticipate a third and fourth.
What it is all about doesn't bother us if there is the slightest hint of wring in the air. It takes winter and cold to make us study. We cannot be worried or even serious over more mild-summers. Surprise seems the time for dreams—not nightmares.
But, weatherologically speaking, it will continue to be spring for the rest of the term. And we can't let it get the best of us because man, you know, has practically conquered the forces of nature. Such is his bonast.
Knowledge is here for the taking now as before; credits are gained by the same old methods; and classes are called as usual. Adapting ourselves normally means hitting mid-semesters with a vim.
THE SPRING THAT REMAINS UNSUNG
This is spring, that abominable season of the year when we bask in the sun today and sliver with cold tomorrow. It is the epiping of March, now raining, now snowing and always blowing; it appears at times that the very elements have gone mad.
We go forth in the morning knowing not whether to wear fur coat, top coat or no coat at all. We carry slicerers around waiting for it to rain; we leave them at home and it pours.

Discussion scheduled for next week will be on the subject, "Behavioral vs. Freudian Psychology." D. Curt Roseen will lead the discussion, assisted by Robert Maxwell. Beta Chi Sigma meets every Monday afternoon at 4 in room 3, east Administration building.

down. We are often times forced to remain in bed, especially on Sunday mornings, because it is too cold to study in our rooms, the landlady having forgotten to build a fire.
What is the result? We look at each other every morning and see only watery eyes and red noses. We are coughing and sneezing continually and barely able to drag ourselves. Our heads feel so big that they wobble on our shoulders and mid-vester quizzes are crouching, ready to spring upon us—indeed some of them have already sprung.
An Anti-Suicide club has been established at New York University.

This is spring, glorious spring on M. Orland, but why are not the poets singing about it?
At the Concert BY JOHN SHIVELY
Richard Crooks more than fullflea the advance predictions of the power of his singing in his concert last night. His voice was capable of the greatest lyric sweetness and dramatic power and his sensitiveness to the expressive quality of his music, trained in the feeling of his singing.
The response of the audience was instantaneous, and it became more enthusiastic as the program advanced. For his first group he sang two Handel songs, the favorite "Wherever You Walk" and "Sound an Ahrm." In the first he immediately absorbed the second he entered completely into the martyr spirit, showing remarkable power.
The German group portrayed the tenor at his greatest dramatic power. In each of these superb songs he ob-

tained the greatest feeling of expression. He carried this dramatic quality into the French group. He was capable of developing from lyric sweetness to a climax of power. But he also showed his ability to tran a more simple song, like folk music, with great beauty of expression.
Mr Schauwecker, his accompanist,
was a capable accompanist and solist.
Partition arly effective was his Debussy
number. Aremeky's "Fantasy" was
more a show of the pianist's tech-
nicity than a composition of artistic worth.
At the annual spring carnival, the students of Cornell University will put on "The Fifth Crusade." Groups of students will take up arms under the "Cross" or the "Crescent" in this historical pilgrimage.
For the first time in over twenty years the Syracuse University will have only one varsity crew this year. The reason for this is that there are only 13 oarsmen, 10 of which have experienced varsity competition before.
