ENGINEERS AND HONOR
Much super-heated are not split pro and con regarding the honor system. Little, except high sounding resolutions, has resulted. At times the various sugar-coated idens advanced by pedantic stool-piglets have seemed little more than faculty attempts to shirk the distasteful duty of discipline.
As an aftermath to all the recent wind-jamming on the subject, the modestly voiced intention of the upperclass engineers to install an honor system in their classes, comes as a distinct relief. No extravagant claims or promises are made; and what is far more noteworthy, the proposed system is to be instituted in one of the few places in the University where it has a chance of success
Rebellious underclassmen are not going to be trusted to do work which is distasteful, to say the least. Instead the men will be placed upon their honor will be studying, theoretically those subjects which they intend to follow in their life's work. Such men are capable of understanding that to crib is only to cheat themselves.
As a matter of fact the very nature of the courses taken during the last two years in the School of Engineering tends to make them amenable to such a proposition. The classes are small. The work is specialized. There is little incentive to cheat. The students are personally acquainted with their instructors. In fact, they are already on their honor. Consequently, they are doing themselves justice in labeling it and getting themselves recognized as men of honor as the lawyers do.
Fall and Doheny have been acquainted. Daughterry is free. Sinclair is still evading trial. Saeco and Vanzett, for six years in jail on what has developed to be false testimony, are still faced with the death penalty. Great indeed is American justice.
ORGAN-IC DISTURBANCE
Music has been a balm and delight to all ages. Doubtless the cave man's capable helpmeet crooked his babies to sleep so they would not throw rocks at him and thus disturb his peaceful thought. Even today after we tire momentarily of the overstimulation of jazz we appreciate soft music, and all that sort of thing.
But just the fact that music has a place in our hectic life is no license for it to usurp more than it deserves. Of all distractions none so evil as the one most dominant, and it would appear that some two or three decades of disturbances of classes in Fraser hall by the pipe organ is a case in order.
Inquiry reveals that the Fraser organ is in use by students all hours that classes are in session. The only vacant hours remaining are on Satursdays, which days, strange as it may be, there are no classes in Fraser to suffer the consequences.
In the course of time instruction may be able to acquire protective measures so that they can withstand the onslaught of the organ noises. But to date no evidence is available that students improve their work under the influence of nephyte organisms. Tests carried on in the children's clinic have shown actual

wearing effects on subjects from the use of added energy to overcome the distraction caused by the organ.
With no music building in sight for several years it will yet be wise to suggest some relief for the students who must spend all of their time in English, Education and certain language courses under the disturbing conditions now existing at Fraser. It would be humane to give Saturday over to practice hours, rather than regular class days. And it is possible, if students in music really wish to achieve their hopes, to give the organ complete rest during the class periods, having it available for practice during the evening, night and early morning hours. Worse suggestions could be made; assuredly the distractions are serious enough that some of them have already been whispered.
"Congress still at ten over liquor question," says one of our recent headlines. "Wet and unsteady" would probably characterize our legislators "we could only see them."
As term themes come in instructors occasionally will sigh, "This is the fifth year for this old friend. I'll really have to destroy it this time."
FAIRWEATHER DEMOCRA
WEATHER DEMOCRACY
Straggling along the car tracks on Mississippi, from Eighth street to Fourteenth, they were—some twenty students, an instructor and an elderly lady, slipping, sliding, foundering in the snow, following the only practical access to the top of the Hill this morning—the center of the tracks for the fairweather street cars, so inportunity late.
- Forteen closed cars, also climbing to the center of the street car tracks, whirled by during this climbing interim of the snow-bound. Three were loaded four-deep; the others carried only one and two passengers each. But none stopped to pick up even the elderly lady; their only obvious beed was the impatient snorting of their horns—snorting for the pedestrians to vacate the all too narrow path.
Who says this isn't a democratic University?

At the Concert
BY JOHN SHIVELY
When Miriam Cox, Raymond Lawrenson, Dorothy Jones and Lee Greene appear on a program such as that of the advanced students recital last night, what is left is moreiller. This is said in recognition of the fine work done by some of the other students. They just suffer in comparison.
Of a different type was the modernistic "Ragusa Nocturne" presented by Virginia Arnold. It was more difficult to grasp the value of this number than that of "Froica," but certainly no one with less artistic ability than that of Miss Arnold could have made an effective presentation.
Lawrence's playing of the "Eroea" sonata was a masterpiece in art sediment heard from a student. It was a very dramatic sound, until it seemed a matter of ease, but it was also the mastership of the spirit of MacDowell to the extent of getting the most of tone color, even if it did not match the music. It bass to the harsh heat of a drum.
The "Poloisein in A flat major"
was a more conventional type, but
Lee Green expressed this conventionality to the highest degree. Miriam annuated the most in tone color in her organ number "Oriental Process."
If Janet Coulson and Ester Buther suffered in comparison with the other pianists, it was not because they did not do meritorious work. On nearly any other program the former's aspirity "Staccato Caprice" and the latter's conception of the modern "Shepherd Fennel's Dance" would outnumbering numerous numbers. But here he opposes an artistic contribution in "The Swans," but otherwise the vocal numbers were decidedly mediocre. Vernon Naah, Elanor Linn, and Margaret Dremon dang pretitely, but not impressively. Anna Lois Voikis lacked breath control, and Pearl Anderson lacked foundation for her low voice and forced the high tones.
Quilch Club will hold an important meeting this evening, Thursday at 7:30, in the rest room of central administration building. WEDNESDAY NEEDED $284.

The picture of Jay James will be taken at the Lawrence Studio at 11:30 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 15. Please be there in costume. Backpack tickets will be available. (Must be pre-ordered.)
JAY JANES:
It was too bad that Conrad McGrew did not appear to furnish some entertainment on the violin. While he was a prodigy in music, his tactile ability, it was buried in the long loribundo and exceedingly tireless "La Folia." Only a finished artist can successfully present this work, but Conrad certainly has not attained this honor.
So we must turn to the pianists and organists for the artistic ability, if we are 40 judges by last night's recital.
Campus Opinion
Doctor Kennedy, noted ethnologist of Lanfeeder College in answer to the question, "What are oo-eds?" said merely, "Go-oeds are women."
Loyality to the University of Kansas has been preached to us from the columns of the Kansan regularly, with a mean loyalty to all parts of the University. We have a mutual deal loyalty. The University Commons is a part of the University of Kansas. It was taken over by new management last fall, inheriting a unkempt building, and no "good quality" of the food (even limited the amount that) and the patronage has been steadily increasing. No boasts have been evident from the Kansan. No prize or indications of the cafeteria existed appeared to help the students.

Those people of the Kansan who do not live on the hill read interest this example of departmental education and lend thereby to think less of the University as a whole.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor Daily Enquiry:
A survey of the boarders or any organized house or boarding club will show many, many chronic complaints who consistently and bitterly grumble to grab." Is it unusual that a few complain of the food at the Commons?
On Other Hills
It is an interesting commentary that since the unfair editorial filled with much feeling and little fact appeared, Connion has apparently increased. It will be longer than usual. Perhaps another scathing article filled with statements of doubtful validity might arise. Then those of us who like the food and nons will be inconvenienced because of the activities of those who do not.
A class in aeronautics, dealing with descriptive and historical phases of the subject, has been started at George Washington University.
A student of Cornell University was dropped recently from the school for the remainder of the term for violation of the honor system.
But, the spirit of the meeting was clouded for many by the rather lengthy religious service which usurped a valuable portion of the hour. It was a discourse, a deception, a low down trick to advertise the meeting in such a way that students would expect an enlightening encounter to force upon them an old time prince before he preceded by a recitation of the ending of plitudinous defenses and justifications for prayer.
The convaction was quite good—in some respects. Its purpose was to clear up some of the minsconceptions regarding the Milwaukee conference. It achieved its purpose—in part at least.
Yours for fair play.
Now, if anyone gets a kick out of praying, why let him pray and God bless him. But when a large group of students gathers for intellectual information, a long-winded church service is a shorn in the flesh. Amon —L. G.
