MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1920
A BUSY CONGRESS
Books that you may carry to the fire, and read readily in your hand, are the most useful after all—Samuel Johnson.
Congress met at noon today in what promises to be one of the busiest sections of recent years. Early prosecutions were that, it would be devoted largely to routine, but more and more business has crowded in until there are over a dozen important measures to be considered in addition to the passage of the fourteen regular appropriation bills.
President Wilson's attitude toward the Verandailles treaty and the League of Nations is awaited with interest. Will he resubmit the treaty with an acceptance of the Senate reservations, because of the result of the "solemn referendum"? If he does not, consideration of separate peace with Germany will consume much time.
Several more conspirational investigations will undoubtedly be undertaken. The committee investigating campaign expense will probably rank a partial report and a final one may be made on the Newbery election case.
Some of the more important legis
lative matters to come up are:
The fourteen regular appropriation bills. These provide for the expense at the government for the next fiscal year, and are of unusual interest because of Republican efforts to reduce government expenditures
In connection with appropriations, the need of a national Budget is imperative. President Wilson veted a Budget bill passed at the last session, and it is unacceptable whether this bill could be passed before next year, but it probably will be presented.
Some measures of tax revision are certain to come up despite plans of Republican leaders to defer them to the next session. Immediate repeal of the excess profits tax may be considered.
Reapportionment of representation in the House of Representatives based on the 1920 census must be done. Although the House is so large as to be rather unwieldy, Congress faces the necessity of either enlarging that body or cutting down the representation from certain states, whose population failed to increase proportionately to that of the entire country.
The Japanese immigration question will cause much discussion. The favorable referendum in California on the anti-Japanese law will necessitate consideration. The whole matter of restriction of immigration will probably be taken up in connection with the Japanese question. Representative Johnson, of Washington expects to propose a bill prohibiting all immigration for two years.
the matter of farm credits and need to farmers is one of the most important matters for the people of Kansas. Senator Capper Vilh introduce a bill to prohibit trading in grain futures. Various proposals for furnishing credit to farmers on their wheat and live stock, either from the Federal Land Banks or from the Federal Reserve Banks, have been made. A credit to foreign countries in order that they may buy American farm products has also been urged.
Other subjects to be considered:
Revision of the Volstead law, either to make it more stringent or less stringent; a soldier bonus bill; amendments to the Eech-Cummins railroad law; the treaty with Colombia settling the controversy over the Panama Canal; measures to improve housing conditions; a large number of welfare measures.
HISTORY OF THE COUNCILS
Student government at the University of Kansas began in April, 1909 with the organization of the Women's Student Government Association and the establishment of the Men's Student Council in May the same year. Before this all government of school affairs had been in the hands of the faculty. Until this time the school had been comparatively small and faculty and students were more or less well acquainted with each other. The faculty knew the student viewpoint and regulation was made without friction. The Chancellor excised all diplomatic power.
By 1909, however, the need for student voices in governmental affairs was keenly felt and the two student governing bodies were organized. These two organizations were given authority up to a certain point but the faculty still kept some exclusive control through the Student Interests Committee of the Senate which was confused entirely of faculty.
This arrangement proved very successful until 1917 and 1918 when dissertation arose among the students because of faculty legislation. Students and faculty were in discord and each thought the other to blame because they could not reach mutual understanding.
Finally, to overcome this difficulty and to create complete understanding and co-operation between the faculty and students and Student Interests Committee was dissolved and the Joint Committee on Student Affairs was created, in March 1919.
This new committee has equal representation of faculty and students. It is composed of the five executive officers of the two student associations and then faculty, two women and five men. The Advisor of Women is chairman of the committee.
The University of Kansas is among the first to establish such a body of legislative co-operation between faculty and students and the committee has proved the success of such joint representation.
This committee has control of a University social affairs and other affairs of general interest. It is the clearing house of all faculty and student interests in all University matters. It makes recommendations to the University Senate, and either of the two student governing bodies when it deems them advisable.
JOKES AND THEIR RECEPTION
ban dances, the honor system, the university calendar for the year, and regular University convocations are among the many problems recently discussed or legislated upon by the committee.
The regulation of dances and admission of dances, the auditing of University affairs, improvement of the Jayhawker, fraternity running scholarship, entertainments other
Someone told a joke the other day.
Three people laughed. The first because the story had been labeled "fumy" before it was told, and intuition urged him to laugh.
The second person was of an intelligence capable of grasping the suggestion in the story. Having discovered the so called "po'mit", he was proud of his own mental prowess, and expressed this satisfaction by laughing.
The third listener had a well-developed imagination. The story

e rested in his mind a definite, vivid picture of a ridiculous scene. The situation thus clearly defined was amusing, and he laughed.

Most of us are like the second person—that is, laugh at a funny joke for seeing the "point", and our laughter is merely an expression of self-satisfaction.
But the person who really enjoys a joke properly is the one with the vivid imagination—in whose mind there is pictured an anunming scene. His laughter is an expression of true mirth.
Campus Opinions
Editor University Daily Kansan: Your editorial, "Introducing the Trash Can" in the Kansan of November 29th, attack a responsive chord in my heart. Some years ago I started on an artifact called *Lost Fountain* which beautiful in the enormous galvanized can which disfigured the landscape near the gymnasium, standing against the trolley pole at the point where we cross the tracks. Anyone near Spooner or Frassau on a brown away waste paper?
What we need is a number of modest receptacles, either hooded canes or boxes, which would not disfigure the campus, placed at outdoor entrances. We would not throw rubbish on the campus without being reminded by the sight of one of the receptacles that *decanaline*, like charity, beaten to crumpled cloth, who fell on his own nest
**keep up** the fight for wantee of a suitable shape and size. Some day we may have a beautiful camper in our yard, but we have beautiful views from the campus.
University women from nearly a score of nations were present at first meeting of the International Federation of Female Actors was held at Rofford College
London. The purpose of the federation is to promote friendly relations and the exchange of the students and professors, and to conduct independent research in matters of municipal and public welfare.

The American system of athletic training which culminated in many American victories at the Antwerp Olympic games is now being subjected throughout Europe to a great deal of criticism, favorable and unfavorable.
While, as an example, there are some members of the Dutch Olympic committee who think that Holland should adopt American methods in its universities and athletic clubs, others charge that such long intensive training makes the athlete professional amateurs.
At a recent meeting of the committee one speaker went so far as to question the ammature standing of the American navy captains. He said that these future American navy officers had done nothing during their four years at Annapolis, but now Europeans find it difficult to understand that American university men can do business so short and still time to study.
On Other Hills

"The Daily Kansan, published at Lawrence, Kansas, commands respect among its exchanges because of its sincerity. In makeup, it has a professional touch, and speaks the language of William Allen Whit, who wrote the famous editorial, "What's the Matter with Kansas."
