WHO ARE THE POLITICIANS? WHO ARE THE POLITICIANS? With student elections only three days away, politics on the Hill are under full swing once more. Two political parties of secret membership will start soliciting your vote tomorrow—asking you to vote for candidates which they have selected in secret session. For those who have been at the University of Kansas for a year or more, the Kansan is voicing a more latitude when it points out that the political situation here is not what it should be. Please do not misunderstand this discussion; politics are necessary at the University just as political organization is necessary in any electorate as large as the student body here. Politics at K. U. there must be, but that does not mean that there is no help for the rather complex and highly undemocratic system which exists on our campus today. Many men and women who have been at the University for several years have come to have a very cynical attitude toward student elections. And why? Simply because they feel that they have no real voice in afairs! What, they ask, are these two organizations of secret membership which ask us for our votes each year? The politicians of the Hill point to the candidates of national parties in this country, who are often selected at party concessions. They liken the system here to our national system; but they forget one thing. The membership of the Republican and Democratic parties is not secret! The national parties are definitely and tangibly represented by the national committees and by the nonnaming conventions—institutions which are at least partly representative of the followers of the respective parties throughout the country. To be a national committee member is considered a great honor, for the National Committee in either case is the core of the party. There is nothing clandestine about it. To be sure, our national parties are far from perfect, but our Hill political organizations would do well to copy their methods in this one respect—that of letting the electorate know what and who they are. Again let it be emphasized that the Kanaan is not advocating the abolition of politics, nor is it finding fault with the type of candidates chosen by Black Mask and Pachaeamac. But it does believe that a great element of distrust and cynical feeling might be avoided if the parties would come out into the open. TAKE 'EM OFF Do we wear too many clothes? Some doctors and hygienists say we do. They claim that we burden our bodies with heavy, superfluous clothing from force of habit and from dictates of custom and fashion. rney maintain that the rest of the body is no more susceptible to exposure than the face or the hands. The face and hands are seldom covered except in cases of extreme incam and yet we do not notice their exposure; they have become hardened. These authorities claim that the rest of the body can be hardened in the same way. They do not advocate nakedness, but they do maintain that the best health may be maintained through the wearing of fewer, looser and thinner garments. The body thus hardened is a stronger body and can do more and better work. Tendencies in dress indicate that this conception is gaining foothold. A decade or so ago, heavy red flannels as thick as quills are the accepted winter undergarments of men. Now the light X. Y. Z.'s are worn all winter. Suits were heavy and lined with heavy material; cots were padded and stuffed until every anemic fellow had a pair of shoulders like an ox. Today suits are of light materials, skeleton or half lined. Changes in women's clothing have been just as marked. Their apparel has recently been the butt of the jocks of the wit and the witless, but who can deny that it is more sensible than that of grandma's days when women wore padded waists, knit underskirts, and an ocean of billows want-nots? The question of Who Won the War probably never will be answered for all time, but we must not forget the 712,510 sets of spur straps that the government purchased "for officers" use only." WOMEN'S ATHLETICS This summer there was held, in Paris, an international athletic meet for women, in which college women from all over the world competed for supremacy. In costuming, judging, and general organization, the events were carried off much in the same manner as the men's Olympics. Such an innovation as this ten years ago would have merited a banner head to the conservative New York Times. A woman has attempted to swim the English Channel. A New York girl has won the international swimming championship for women. Munamoiselle Lenglen and Molla Mallory excited as much press comment with their contest as does any men's tennis tournament. The 17-year-old California tennis wonder is a wonderful sample of the modern tendency toward national athletics for women. All these athletic achievements are an index of the strides forward women are taking into domains previously occupied solely by men. They show the development and broadening of women's lives to include more than the single desire to be married Athletes have opened to their wives of clean competition and good sportsmanship which have previously been closed to women. With the introduction of the Intercollegiate Women's Athletic Association, the point system has been standardized, and women here can get the sweaters with as much肩袋 attached to them as those received by the men. They work for their sweaters, go into training, and faithfully report for practices, showing an intense loyalty to their respective teams. In addition to this, the W. A. A. stands unreservedly for the support of the men's athletics, and favors a 100 per cent purchase of activity tickets. The gymnasium is the melting pot for the University women. It is here that a true sentiment of democracy and independence reigns for every girl meets upon the same basis and is judged impartially for her ability and her good sportmanship. The W. A. A. is an institution which localizes the international movement for the broader development of women. It may be an institution of which K. U. may well be proud. How many Gullivers there are among us in the world; how many of us bound by trifles, but securely fastened! Our Liliput captors are the petty worries men are heir to; our bonds are the little disappointments which we are not big enough to push aside. MODERN GULLIVERS Would not even Gulliver himself have smiled to see a stalwart man pinned down by lack of confidence? And yet we meet them every day—men who would like to go on, but are Official Daily University Bulletin Vol. II. COLLEGE FACULTY MEETING; Copyright by Florence E.

And Gulliver might have scorned the man who is bound by complacent self-satisfaction. He is the one who finds himself in a rut so deep that he cannot see over the sides.

New dormitories have been opened, the older ones have been rebuilt and new chemistry and pharmacy buildings are nearly completed. The University of Denver is planning to organize a pep organization similar to that of the University of Kansas, according to the Denver Clarion. The D.

The slogan of the organization is to be "Rooting without fussing." The little green skull cap, badge of the humble freshman, has been abolished at the University of Wisconsin. The new hat is like that work by enlisted men in the U. S. navy. However, it is green in color with six red ribs running to the center of the crown and a red "wrink" on the front of the hat. It also features buttons on top of the crown show which school the man belongs. Lawrence Cider and Vinegar Co. 810 Penn. St. Phone 335 Fresh Apple Cider for Sale.
