terially, promote the University of Kansas; to go for-
ward a program in standing for the ideals the
curriculum offers; to be clean, to be cheerful,
to be smart and to have great arrows from
one to another in mind as all students
of the University.

STUDENTS' HONOR SYSTEMS
The time when proposition of establishing an honor system at the University must be dealt with can not be very far off if one may judge by the recent trend both here and in other universities. The last election showed an interest in student government that was far beyond any precedent on the Hill.
Other universities are experiencing similar movements and the further the progress of student government goes, the nearer an honor system is to being automatically installed. The matter of saying what students shall be admitted and what ones graduated from an institution must rest on the decision of school administrators, but the matter of a fair and honorable use of the educational system as now modeled is logically devolving more and more on students themselves.
Nebraska university and several others with apparently analogous conditions' seem to have made no progress with the honor system after it was installed. From such a result there are at course only conclusions; the student assignment was not behind the system or it was improperly managed from the outset.
The recent discussion favoring an honor system in the University of Kansas by the students' religious organizations and others and an increasing number of students familiar with the workings of honor system elsewhere will soon educate student opinion to definite convictions in the matter. After realizing the needs, the almost universal participation of the students in elections will go far to ward insuring the success of an hon or system here. Specifie proposals for an hon system are now in order, for the experience of other schools seem to teach that the worst method o dealing with cheating is a camouflage honor system which the "Criber's fear may work and which the remailing students and faculty feel will not work.
WHAT WE ARE MISSING
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The joy of hiking is a subject that has been sadly neglected. In these days of mechanical transportation, the majority of people have forgotten that by keeping the feet on the ground and swinging them, one at a time, in a forward manner the human body can be carried for a considerable distance.
Hiking for pleasure was a favorite pastime of ancient people. In the days of the Roman empire, walking was considered essential. To prove this fact, one has only to cite the words of Julius Caesar: "Hase en Gallia, importantus." Freely translated, the quotation reads: "Hike into Gaul, it is important."
Today, as in the olden days, there is pleasure to be found in a tramp into
the surrounding country. Now a
then, there are birds in the leafing
trees, beats in the emerald carpeted
fields, and joy in the smiling flowers.
Nature is still present for man to en-
joy.
But here we are, with deformed feet and wobbly knees. Corns, bunions, tight shoes, street cars, and automobiles are all a part of our daily life. When we see a human being plodding along a country road we think he is a ramp on the way to a soft straw stack, or a farmer on the hunt for a lost cow. When we see a man examining a wayide surface or talking to a country sign board, we shake our heads dolefully and tap our browns with our index fingers.
Buried in artificially, smugly satified, and glitteringly adorned with the baubles of so called civilization, we live our narrow lives. Theaters and parties, dinners and dances, lip rouge and cigarettes—these are the joys of present day life.
But, now, out in the country a warm red sun is setting below the low swung hills. Across the purple sky its rays are shooting in red and golden bars. Through the still evening air comes the gentle lowing of cattle and the happy cries of birds, winging their homeward way. Silently, the flowers of the fields fold their velvet petals and nod their drowsy heads. One by one, the starry flowers of the sky break through the creeping shades of night and twinkle happily down.
VALPARAISO'S "HOTBED"
Along the dusty road, a hiker pilots award the lights of the city. Tired a body, but happy in mind he pauses or a moment and hears with a thrill he weird, enchanting call of the owl, suing from teh branches of a enerable oak.
Well, Prey Hodgson, of Valparaiso university, Valparaiso, Ind., has resigned. "The university," his letter of resignation ran, "is a hated of Bolshevism, Communism and other cults." We, for one, doubt it. We doubt whether a university faculty can force its ideas, radical or conservative, upon any student body. And thought we never met a single Valparaiso alumnus, we have been told that the enrollment is something enormous.
"The stream of propaganda," Prexy Hodgdon continues, "can be traced to the very heart of the federal government." At first we thought Mr. Hodgdon was stirring his metaphors; but, nay.
You know the color of the stream that rises in the heart—F. P. A. in New York Tribune.
Plans for stadium-Day, declared a holiday both at home and at Rosedale, have progressed with surprising rapidity and the day bids fair to out-distance anything K. U. has ever had in the way of a special holiday occasion.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
The day was very wiser set in the middle of the week for although that is a busy time many students persistently close their eyes to business when holidays are scheduled Monday or Friday and hastily leave Laurel. The day is also the day May 10 should be reserved for a far higher purpose than gossip or friendly visitation which for most students will then be only a fortnight ahead.
When one considers the many sacri-
fices that were made in both time and
money to put the total pledges over
the top the recognition of Stadium-
day with a few hours time on a pleasant
day in spring will be an act similar
to according applause to the artist
who pleases.
Every student will feel a more keenly defined satisfaction in his summer-time for having stayed with his sons and with his sister. He was thick, through thick and thin, and lending a present boost rather than an absent injury.
On the other hand it is possible to abuse the day by study as well as by leaving the city. Spring was given by nature and Stadium projects are given by men for a purpose and like the man who puts the dollar too close to his eye we cannot see the purpose if we do not resolve to attend.
Those who have the drive the most at heart will not see the stadium project even undergo the appearance of failure in any way and this will assure a representative body of students, faculty, and alumni giving

Plain Tales From the Hill
Junior: "Aw. I don't know. I've been on the Hill so long that I've forgotten a lot of that stuff they used to teach in high school."
Curious one, gaving in at the window of a down town photographer, and pointing to the picture of an anesthetic dancer in a characteristic pose.
Sarcastic companion: "Why don't you know? That's the latest snapshot of Sandefur putting the shot."
The weather man has demolished the fruit crop for us this year, but, thank goodness, we still have Miss Anderson's nourishing dandelions.
A senior who is taking history under Professor Hodder gives out the following hope-beggeting statistics:
"When I started in taking courses under Professor Hodder, .t used to
take me four hours a day to get my history lessons. However, since I have been in his classes so long, and you might say, know my stuff, it only takes me three hours and a half a day."
