WEIGH THE FACTS CARE FULLY
Tomorrow the students of the University will voice their opinion as to the merits of the new Jayhawk plan. This decision will be final. The amendment has already been approved by the governing bodies, and only the sanction of the students is now necessary for the placing in the constitution a provision, which authorities say, will place the publication on a sound business basis. The vote tomorrow is a vital one. Each voter should consider carefully and thoughtfully the merits and defects of the proposed reform measure; it is up to every student to weigh the facts, and mark his ballot in the way that he thinks to be for the best interests of the University. Petty prejudices and personal distinctions should be pushed into the backgroun at the polls. The meaning of the new amendment for K. U. should be the basis for a decision; mark your ballot accordingly.
The whole reform measure looks like an improvement over the old system. Jayhawker deficits seem to have become the custom, in recent years. Last year's unpaid amount of $3,208 was not the first one, but it was the most decisive. The reflection is not so much on the managers as on the poor organization and inadequate business methods used in the publication of the Jayhawker in the past. The time for a budget for the year book has arrived; a system of common-sense bookkeeping deserves a place in the Jayhawker plan as much as any other organization. Last year has opened our eyes to the need of some remedy. Those who formulated the amendment think they have found it. We hope so.
On paper the new scheme looks good. In practice it has proved its merit on other universities. At any rate it can't be worse than the old methods of publishing the Jayhawker—it ought to be a great improvement. If the plan as outlined will give every gifted person a chance, as its advocates claim, to hold an executive position on the annual staff, then a better yearbook will be the result. Under the new system no longer need the important staff offices be footballs for the personal aggrandizement for ambitious office-seekers or popularity "Chasers"; ability alone will be the recommendations and the University will not suffer as it has in the past on account of the inferior quality of our Jayhawkers.
Everyone realizes the significance of a Jawhawk that is a credit to the institution it represents. It is not a class publication, but a picture of the whole University life. Bear this in mind, students of K. U., when you indicate your choice on the ballot, tomorrow. If you think that the amendment means a better annual, vote for it; if not its passage will only make the constitution more cumbersome. But weigh the facts carefully before you decide.
LAZY DAYS
Spring is coming. The weather man may feel skeptical about it, but the birds buge, and trees know more about it than a mere weather man.
It is pleasant to sit back and dream about those long lazy days while a cold wind still whisits around the corners, that come and go so fast that they seem to crowd one another into eternity, brisk, sparkling, sunny, sportive days that seem to fit so well the rollingick, gay, boyant, debonair student. We live for spring to come. Spring brings back memories of all that is jolly, joyous, junty, and frolicsome.
Spring days come, and we have time for nothing else. We cannot be burdened with work or worry.
So burn the midnight oil and attend classes while incident weather still holds away. Balmy breezes are with restlessness, and one's conscience seems to relax. While spring is coming, prepare for it. Get ready to enjoy it; it may never come again.
Science or the doctors, we forget which, say that the brain registers best on an empty stomach. In looking over the number of flunks last semester we would infer that the students at this University were overeating.
THAT NEW HOTEL
There have been persistent runners that Lawrence is to have a brand new hotel. Indeed it has even appeared in the papers. Lawrence business men seem to like to play with the idea. It has always be unpleasant duty to throw cold water on a pretty scheme, but all same people will stop and ponder this question: Does Lawrence really need a new hotel?
The present hotel accommodations have been here many years. They are venerable institutions. What was good enough for our fathers is surely good enough for us. The restlessness and extravagant spirit of the age is bad enough already without pander to it with any such new-fangled notions as a modern up-to-date hotel. Of course it's true sometimes when there are conventions here that the hotels we have now will not hold all the people, but then we have always managed before. The peacish spirits that old K. U. graduates sometimes show when coming back for a day or two concerning the hotel accommodations must be passed over with for-
It has been said that several celebrities, having one-night engagements here, have refused to stay in any of our hotels over night and have fled back to the metropolitan atmosphere of Kansas City. However, we can smile gently and lay that to the eccentricities of genius. Homefolks wouldn't act like that.
So, you see, we don't need a new hotel.
“If we haven't earned it, we don't want it.” So one Post of the American Legion expressed themselves on the soldier bonus.
The fifteenth annual banquet of former Kansas students and alumni in Kansas City will be held Saturday night in honor of Chancellor Lindley and also as a "Victory" celebration. Judging from the plans announced this banquet will be the real thing, with K. U. spirit glorified. But this banquet is just a small phase of the activities of our Kansas City alumni organization. Besides the official support of K. U. there is a greater benefit which Kansas City alumni gives to Kansas and this is the aid and support which these alumni individually give to young K. U. men seeking to enter business in Kansas City.
TRUE K. U. SPIRIT
The bond of our Alma Mater is a lasting one, and every young K. U. man or woman who has occasion to come in contact with a Kansas City alumnus always feels a little more the far reaching effect of our University. When one looks at the totals for the Memorial drive, at the support which these Kansas City people give to K. U. activities, or at the assistance which these alumni give to the young man entering business we God a greater pride in a school which leaves us liable a mark on her records.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The man in the front room had been toooting the saxophone all through the long afternoon. He had no accompaniment for the music, and people just can't appreciate saxophone music, especially when it stands forth in all its naked unaccompaniedness. The person in the next room stood it for a span of time, and then he came
Broadcasted Concert
"My dear fellow," he exorted, "remember that a man in Eudora has the headache today."
Old Pi was recently 'hotced' standing on the steps of Green Hall. His cousin seemed "to be heaving with countenance as she watched the mouse pass by."
Like the Movie Hero
A senior of the College—who, by the way, is engaged and so hardly responsible for his sayings and actions—was reading the sport page of the Kansas City Star Sunday afternoon. For some time he gazed at the scores of the recent basketball tournament—then.
"Where is this Lowe and Campbell College located, anyway?" he queried.

The average American of today is a weakened, degenerate representative of the genus hem. He is less than half efficient, and he is said to be traveling a downward path toward race extinction. The good example of France in passing a law making physical education compulsory for all youth of both sexes to be imitated by all civilized countries.
The red man has much more respect for his body than the average civilized person. Benjamin Franklin gives an account of a meeting with a group of Indian tribes in order to treat a treaty. The congressional committee offered to take ten young Indians and give them a university training. The Indians declined saying that several of their young men had attended the white men's colleges and had returned to life, but they didn't useless. They knew nothing of the forest lore, they could not hunt or fish, they couldn't track the wild animals, they knew nothing of trees or animals. After declining the offer the Indians said, "sound us with both and we will make men of them."

Training in Health Instead of Disease
Many years ago the primitive tribe of Yuma Indians were opposed sending their children to school, because after attending the school for a while the children were found to be sufferers and were called "catarrh brush." The catarrh was attributed to the fact that they ate government salt meat; and the Indians were doubtless right.

William Stanley and the Alternating Current Transformer
There is nothing that compares with electricity for the economical transmission of power. As a matter of fact, energy in any other form can be economically transmitted only for the shortest distances. If a power need develops, and its location is within the range of the power house, the engineer at once turns to the electrical method for cheap and reliable transmission.
To the thousands who are living their lives in the earlier days of the Electrical Age, it probably seems that this situation must have always existed. But actually, there is many a man with no gray in his hair can recall the days when electric light and power were literally unknown.
The tremendous electrical transmission systems that have been developed during the past thirty years owe their existence to the fact that they are practically, as well as technically, right. They provide the power necessary for be possible; and production, and the creation of real values, always requires comparatively low-pressed power for its highest development. And the history of low-cost power transmission is the history of Alternating Current, and especially of the Alternating Current Transformer. For one of the great factors in the cost of electrical transmission is the high voltage wires—and the big thing about alternating current is that it makes possible the use of conductors which are within the cost-limits which competitive and economic conditions impose.
There is no room to discuss all the varied aspects of this question; but it may be said that one of the great benefits of alternating current transmission for about 95% of the electrical systems now in use has its great economy, as compared to other systems, in the transmission of power, the transformer itself, is the heart of the alternating current system.
It permits a small current, at high voltage, to be transformed to a large current at low voltage, or vice versa, through the use of simple, immobile apparatus, and thus supplies the electric power in electrical transmission.
William Stanley is remembered because it was he who commercially developed transformers of high efficiency and satisfactory regulating qualities. He brought out the first transformer with an array of were connected in parallel, across a constant-potential system, instead of the series operation used by Gaulard and Gibbs. The system embodying this principle was put into operation on August 14, Mass., on March 16, 1886, and has been the standard method ever since.
Thus briefly is recorded the history of another contribution of the Westinghouse engineering organization to the electrical art; since all the transformers which are made today are built upon the same general principles as those first constructed to embody William Stanley's inventions.
