The Daily Kansas aims to procure and train the students of University of Kansas, to go forward in preparing students by standing for the ideals the teachers seek; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be outgoing; to leave more serious problems to the best of the ability to serve the host of the ability to teach.
FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921
IT'S ALL OVER
The 1921 elections to the Student Council are now spoken of in the past tense, and John Porter will head the men's student government organization for the coming year.
The Kanans sincerely believes that Mr. Porter will make an efficient president. It believes as sincerely that Mr. Massy would have made an efficient president. That the two men are held in high esteem by the student body is indicated by the proximity of the vote, which emphasizes the fact that the two candidates chosen by the opposing sides were good ones.
Now that the excitement and turmoil of the election are over, political grudges should become a thing of the past. There should be a concerted effort to make the work of the Student Council next year more telling than ever. Political prejudices should not be allowed to enter into the functioning of the Council, because any such prejudices that exist are based upon issues that are hazy and doubtful-if there are any issues at all. After all, the only issue that should exist in the minds of students is the welfare of the University.
Politics are lots of fun, but they are trivial and insignificant when compared with the big things that are waiting to be accomplished.
There are none who will deny that t. University has taken several steps forward in the last year, but there are still several steps to go. The New Era, as it is called, must be developed to a trumpphant end, and a successful future for this institution must be definitely outlined.
A professor in the University of Wisconsin says college students don't know much. It is very probable that the professor was at one time a college student himself, so he should know.
TUESDAY'S KANSAN
Next Tuesday's issue of the Kananan,
instead of being under the supervision
of the Kananan Board, will be the results
of efforts of a staff recently
elected from the students enrolled in
the department of journalism. The
regular staff will take time off to do
something unusual, such as going fishing
or studying.
This number should be an interesting one. Many excellent ideas and features can no doubt be originated, which the regular staff, in an effort to get the nurse out on time day after day and attend classes at the same time, has no doubt been overlooked.
Hobert G. Curl, who has already contributed much to the editorial work of "Masan," will be editor-in-chief. Under his editorship the paper will read nothing.

ON SPRING BOATING
A junior student states that there is no pleasure to be found in boating. Viewed from a certain angle, this startling statement seems to be correct.
Certainly, there is no pleasure in the thought of paddling a clumsy, flat bottom boat up a muddy river like the Kaw. Furthermore, there cannot be any pleasure in swinging a pair of oars until the hands blister and the back ache. Even the graceful canoe, skimming over the sluggish waves on a warm spring day, calls forth a certain amount of energy and a like amount of peripration.
But there is pleasure in boating if the boater knows how to boat. In the first place, the one who fares forth upon the water should load his craft with an armful of sofa pillows and a companion. The companion should be one who fears the dangers of running water, and one who has confidence that the captain of the ship is able to protect her with his strong arms.
To get real pleasure out of the ejection, the boat should not be weed. Experience has taught many that the joy gained from spring boat trips comes through floating. When the moonbeams silver the dancing triples; when a peaceful quiet settles over the river, and when your companion rests her head on Oh, well the fellow who doesn't enjoy boating should be put out to sea in a ship made of lead.
LUXURY
A glance at America's luxury bus buge confirms the opinion that we are a pleasure loving people. The total is over twenty-two million spent for luxuries in 1920. Compared with this the amounts spent for necessities are startlingly small. Education furnishes a deplorable contrast, as the total amount spent for educational purposes since the beginning of American history is only sixteen and a half billion. The cost of all forms of tobacco in 1920 was five times the total of teachers' salaries in 1918. If smokers would take two smoke instead of three, the money thus saved, if devoted to the school, would raise the salaries of all the teachers 120 per cent. Luxury services, joy rides, pleasure resorts, and races form the largest part of the budget, amounting to six-billion. There might be some enjoyment in manufacturing chewing gum when receipts are five hundred thousand and in one year. Seven hundred and fifty million was spent for cosmetics, but $400,000,000 was used to purchase tea products, so there is no chance to accuse America of powdering over the dirt.
Snuff supersely belongs to other days, but the budget includes $800, 000,000 for tobacco and snuff. Cigarettes, a doubled luxury, sold for $500,000,000 for the year.
It is startling to realize that if all America did without luxuries for a year, education could be advanced just as far in that year as it has gone since American history began. Still, perhaps it is hardy fair to take the year 1920, since it represents the reaction after the rigid economies of the war years. At the same time there seems to be no abaing of spending thus far in 1921
Campus Opinion
In a recent issue of the Kanaan, a write-up of the K. U. Kumu debate stated that K. U. kud not defeated Missouri at Columbia during the last season; together with H. Merle Smith and Mr. Richmond, that defeated Missouri at Columbia in the spring of 1917. I am writing to point out the

Editor Kansan:
The engineers of Ames will celebrate their eleventh annual Engineer's Day, April 15 and 16. Since the celebration was postponed from March many St. Patrick Day features were added to the campus, forered far the best open house, for the best float, and for the most original costume in the parade.

And is surprised to find his only fag is broke,
A friend asks you to come and have a smoke.
You take your package out and say:
"Have one of mine."
He does, and passes them on down the line.

TIME
Still Rupert's father has the green, but Don's the best man on the team. I find all these things in one. I'll keep on loving just for fun.
Time is a mystery.
A moment is the measure of time
And what happens afterwards
Are they the atoms of Eternity?
A long line of infinite extent,
With but one preeminent—
And that but for a second's space—
When it joins the shrouded concours
Of the Past and is replaced
By another from the misty Future.
And off in youth, we seek to live
Within the misty moments
Of the days and years to come.
We grow impatient with their weary
course—
Till suddenly—we turn
And view the ones gone by.
The dear old days! The happy mom
ents
Of our childhood! Past.
Who is there, that does not know
The nangs of parting, as the moments
fly—
That sleep soul-longing—that would
The tide of Time—and oft inspirit
Doth its steps retrace
To hold communion
With some dear moments
In the thickening gloom.
But realization of the Futures dream.
In must come from effort
Now to present New way.
So must sweet recollections
Which shall glorify
The memories of the past.
So let us fill our lives
With what the Present
Brines within our reach—
And make
The Future's memory of today
As sweet as any
Of our yesterday.
—G. G. Greenwood.

Politics
Perfectly Simple, Gwendolyn They were walking by McCook Field. Baseball practice was going on.
Said Julia: "Perfectly simple, dear,
Infeld means inside the fence, and outfield means outside the fence.
Didn't you know that?"
Said Gladys: "I can't understand what they mean by infield and out-geld."
But along comes Spring election,
With it mitigates untold.
The impossible now happens—
He is brass and you are gold.
WANT ADS
They were standing in the dimly lighted hallway—he and she. His eyes were bright as they gazed upon her glowing beauty. She were a dawn cut暗ingly and of a deep purple, against which color her full, softer eyes shone. Her eyes were dazzling white. Her cheeks were flushed, and their pinkness shading into the white of her neck were as the delicate tintings found only in apple blossoms. Her opaulent eyes fairly glowed, and such strange, unnatural fireleses from their depths that he looked down at them. How he loved her! And yet she

The Jester, humorous publication on Columbia University, won first place in Judge's College Wits Contest. This is a contest held annually by the college to determine the winner for the best humourful college papers. Over a hundred colleges throughout the United States and Canada entered the contest. Cornell won the prize last year, but the cup must be won by any student who recognizes the property of any one college.
