The Daily Kansaan aims to pro-
fessionalize the University of Kansai; to go for-
ward in the field; and to stand for the ideals
of the Kansaan, including its orientes;
to be clean; to be cheerful;
to leave more aerosis probab-
le than the rest of its ability to
serve to the host of its ability.
ENGLISH COMEDY
The quality of the acting in the last Dramatic Club play merits no adverse criticism in so far as American annotator players can interpret an English production, which thing cannot be done easily and effectively even by professionals of long experience on the stage. It would be safe to say that the University of Kansas has the best group of "coming stars" in the world, if they could put realism into a play with neither plot, action, nor dramatic incident, such as Wilde's "importance of Earnest."
English actors, raised on ten tea, teacake, and cucumber sandwiches and under the conserving influence of governesses and the slow wits of English nobility or ale houses, could have made a perfect scream out of the play, while the University cast of young Americans, possessing contemptive voicelessness, excitability, vigor, and the love for unclearthy crises, of necessity lent an American influence to the play which did not aid in its desired effects on the audiences. In addition, the utter ignorance of the cast and its coach of the English stage through actual contact, rather hand-drawn the production. Indeed, the choice of comedies was a bit sorry.
American comedy is lively, portrays life as it is found, has plot, features either heroes or heroines, and ends with a rush. It deals with the apo-cular and disregards the commonplace and the drab. American theatre-goers especially in the middle west, do not care for muffin-hounds or ultra-modern young exotics of feminine gender. Realism is the password to popularity and a long run. Hence, the crowded bald-headed row at the musical comedy.
Nevertheless, the interpretation was good as far as could be expected. The crowd was satisfied, but each one left the theatre rather dazed by the lack of sparkle and animation in the entire three acts. The play has one or two mild laughs, some deep thoughtful humor, and much superficial nonsense in the lines. The cast is to be heartily congratulated on its splendid handling of a most difficult situation imposed upon it, that of plucking itself out of its own environment and transplanting (self into one with which it was unacquainted, that of the English comedy of rather ancient vintage.
DUTY SERVED
Many times in the last two years the old flap has dipped itself to haffinaut, in memory of someone dear to the University or to the country. Many times it has snapped proudly over the trailing crimson and blue streamer, floating defiance to K, U.'s enemies.
Surely the old flag had served its time well, and so—new flag files over Fraser Hall today.
Ketts, if he had lived today on Mount Ourest, might perhaps have done justice, in some exquisite riot of sensuous word pictures, to the "delicate amber" of the writings and the soft, thick brown of freshly budding maples and elms.
A PRICELESS HERITAGE
"Tis the Star-Spangled Banner."
But there is such a thing as a single star-spangled bawler waving the new flag and so—do you notice the new flag on Fraser Hall Wednesday morning?
Through snows and rains, through sunshine and cloud, flag that has flown from the front of Fraser has given sterling service for a long, own governing body, and thus relinquished time. Kansas winds had whipped its outer door tatters, and Kansas doors had rulped its rod.
licensing based at the present time.
Every woman of the University has a right to add her voice to the government if she will only show enough interest to do it. If she fails to appear to vote at the time appointed, it will be proof that she prefers to be governed rather than be a part of her own governing body, and thus relinquished rights of being free to criticize the way that government is carried out.
Early spring on Kannas hills and vales might have been portrayed by him in a manner worthy (as far as humans in their grouping way are able) of the great power which controls the seasons and mothers the delicately hesitating appearance of bud and bloom.
But we have no Keats to sensitize for us in words those innest thoughts of ever-wondering joy which steal upon us as the grass leaf appears and the heavy, secant-lend breath of faraway southern hills drifts subly over grooved wroves and brown prairies
motifs and abstract phrases.
And yet, we are not poor. For we have always with us the inspirations themselves; the feelings, the thoughts, the joys which, although we cannot express them in human language, are in truth the source of every great poet's song.
Joy knows no end when spring appears.
LIBRARY SERVICE
It was common experience for most students, during the closing weeks of last semester, to come up to the library in search of a book, and have to wait five or ten minutes before the task force could serve them.
Here was a two-fold evil, for which both the library administration and the students themselves were responsible. And the evil still exists, particularly at certain busy periods during the school day.
It was also common experience for the desk force to have to spend many precious minutes directing inpatient waiters to the files, with explicit directions as to how to use them in finding the number of the reference they desired.
At rush hours, and during the weeks in the school year when the library is more than ordinarily used, a larger corps of assistants should be on deck to help hurried students, who, on all such occasions, are hard pressed for time. And in the same way, every student should learn as quickly as possible how to use the files in finding the reference numbers which are absolutely indispensable before aid can be given by an assistant.
Cooperation and foresight by both the library forces and the students will eliminate almost entirely the small, but very provoking instances of inefficient service which occasionally occur at Spooner.
BETTER MEASURES
A new constitution for the government of the women of the University is to be presented to them to be voted upon in two or three weeks. The constitution is a revision of the old one which has been the basis for the rules of the Women's Student Government Association ever since its organization, in 1909.
Two thirds of the women students must register their votes in favor of the constitution before it can go into effect. The new rulings are as whole more liberal and in all respects more progressive than are those upon which the regulations of the women are being based at the present time.
.
If the women are at all eager to how that they are interested in better student government, they should one out as a whole and vote for the measures which will bring it about.
New students at Stanford University will be selected in the future on the basis of character, leadership and exceptional ability as well as scholarship, according to entrance requirements laid down by the faculty recently. The present regulation permits students to enter the annual entrants to 45 for the August quarter and fifty each for the two succeeding quarters is to be retained.
The office of the Ohio State Lantern is to be closed to men Wednesday, March 2, when the annual "Co-ed Lantern" is to appear. "The end of a perfect day" will be celebrated in the city on Saturday and candy will be served to the women journalists as the paper comes off the press.
On Other Hills
Indications are that the state legislature of Arkansas will make no appropriations for new buildings at the University of Arkansas and other state institutions, according to statements from legislators. The reason is that the general revenue fund had suffered severe depletion for other needs.
The stadium fund of the University of Ohio has passed the million dollar mark, over $800,000 that was subscribed by the city of Columbus. The university. The Ohio stadium will have a seating capacity of $6,300.
Seniors at the University of Ohio are conducting an energetic campaign for prohibition of finals for the last year students. Every member of the senior class will sign a petition to be presented to the faculty and aid of the alumni association has been secured.
The semester system will be cast aside for the four-quarter plan at Ohio State University after July, 1922, according to action taken re-reasonable by the university trustees. The change has been under consideration there for several years.
"A creature not too bright or good for human nature's daily food," but "something of ancelle light" is what he was referring to. Arkansas expect the women they like to be. The fact was learned from a questionnaire sent out by the Y. W. group, which numbered 250 men representative of the different interests of the university.
Work has begun at Cornell toward the drawing up of a constitution for the Hunger System, looking toward a
the Honor System, looking toward a definite organization. The committee is finding its chief difficulties centering about division of control among the colleges and the personnel of the central committee.

Iowa State and Kansas Agricultural colleges lead in agricultural publicity work, according to the Detroit News, a daily newspaper of Detroit. The college issued that, "Iowa State College of Ames, Iowa, and Kansas Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kansas, have the two best systems of agricultural publicity in this country. News from Iowa are used weekly to a year to get around. In Iowa and Kansas they know it the next day."—Iowa State Student.
