The Daily Kansasian aims to picture the experience of a University of Kansaser to go farther than standing for the ideals she desires. She writes: to be chaperon; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems on the way to the best of its ability to serve the rest of Kansas.
STUDENTS AND POLITICS
MONDAY, OCT. 25, 1920
Despite the disclaimers of the cynical, University students are interested in politics. Even the women are much interested, as is proved by the number of Cox and Harding-buttens seen with geogrette backgrounds. This in spite of the charge, not infrequently heard, that college women are not alive to the issues of the day.
In fact, University students have always taken an interest in National politics. Political clubs have been organized and hayed thrived in every presidential year, and lobbies have always been maintained at Topaka when matters of student interest or concern came up.
The interest in the national collegiate League of Natims referendum last spring is an instance that would refute the arguments of those who believe colleges merely social centers. And K. U. summer school students immediately after the conventions ended this year held what was said to be the first "straw vote" of any size held in the United States on the candidates of 1920. All the thrills of a national convention have often been staged here in the effort of one wing or another to get control of a political organization. The vehement protest of the women at being left out when one club was organized this fall goes to show that this interest still survives.
Student interest in politics is often directly beneficial to the University. The permanent income bill is now a law, due almost entirely to a student lobby and a summer of campaigning conducted largely through the county clubs.
The students will be found as much interested and as well informed as we the coming elections as he was, with regard to the World's Series. And he'll know who he's voting for, this fall, too.
SIDELINE ADVICE
At any football game you will hear it. "If I were coach-" and the usual line of chatter follows. Cries of "Give the bail to—" or "Take him out" can be heard even in the opposite bleachers. It has been said that this is characteristic of Kannas rooters and if such be true it is a sad plight. When a man makes a twenty-five yard gain everybody is for him but let him slip once, and in the eyes of these side advisers, he has committed the worst of all crimes.
There are three Jayawkher cheerleaders at every game working to keep a continuous rear of Kansas enthusiasm resounding over the "the golden valley." Let these sideline advisers combine their heated shouts of advice with the roofting of the Thundering Thousand and the whole state of Kansas will know something has

A HEALTHY BODY
It hasn't been so many years, age that physical education, as a part of the prescribed college or university course, was an undreamed of thing. But, of late years, the men at the heads of our various institutions of learning have come to realize that it is a matter of vital importance, with the result that it is being pushed more and more to the front.
"And Jesus increased in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The advice has come down to us through the ages, but we have been slow to accept it.
A strong vigorous body is a wonderful asset. It isn't enough that we cram our minds with knowledge. We need our health in order to get the best results out of whatever work in which we may be engaged.
Campus Opinions
To the Editor:
Some one has asked whether the student cannot read, or if he must be coaxed with honeyed words to keep off the grass. The questioner evidently did not take into consideration the very forceful negative power of suggestion. Why, to the normal human being a sign which reads, "Keep Off the Grass." is a backgroung hand—an object that grass against his own volitional power. It is a brother to the "Fresh Paint" sign.
In an eastern boarding school several years ago the faculty made a ruling that no girl should stand on the piano. Up until that time such an absurd idea had never entered regulation was posted, its reaction in regulation was opened, its reaction in regulation was closed, and girls in the school felt that she had to stand on the piano or break her neck in the attempt.
Result: Several hundred foot prints were it once implanted on the piano in question, and there was no damage. In its room Only "to be had on its top Room."
We have positive proof that these signs about the campus function likewise negatively, so the logical thing we should say is "Walks alwakes saying, 'Stay off the Walks,' "Keep to the Grass," etc. Our campus would soon be unwarmed by footpaths. It is a shame to give such a tip to the members of the faculty, but they organize and formulate, some constructive data regularly in these;
(1) No student shall be allowed to enter an 830 class until nine o'clock.
(2) Text books are not to be stored in the room in availment and old lace for safe keeping.
(3) Any student presuming to read outside references shall be duly penalized for his rashness.
(6) Papers are not supposed to be handed in on the date they are due. Students handling in papers on time make up for their negligence.
(4) The purpose of lecture courses is to give students an opportunity to become acquainted with their neighbors. Those who do not chat with persons sitting next them while the instructor lectures are not taking advantage of their opportunities and shall have their grades lowered.
Students are supposed to cut classes at least twelve times during a semester. Those who at the end of the term have not the required number of cuts shall have their grades lowered twenty per cent.
The power of suggestion is wonder-
ful. The negative power of suggestion
is doubly wonderful. It might be

In the crown of his head what gems are found?

On Other Hills
The University of South Dakota has in operation a very successful co-operative book-selling department. The state has given this department the necessary amount of room in one of the buildings on the campus, and furnish it with the equipment after the year and to have charge of it. Miss O. M. Frances, a very capable young woman has charge of this department of the University. She gets a very good salary and six weeks vacation at full pay. She employs six men students as clerks. They work in shifts, at such times as they do not have class work. Miss Frances has assisted in the organization of such a department at several other schools that have which put a similar class into use.
The articles handled are numerous and include books of all kinds, paper, pencils, and other college supplies, freshman caps and candy. The freshmen of South Dakota can buy any caps of the very best material, at 40 cents each. The articles sold are marked at the market over the cost and the freight charges.
Before the war, Miss Frances purchased a large supply of of standard size notebook paper. During the war the price rose and the paper sold to the students at the new price. At the end of the year a certain per cent of the money given to the students came to him. In this way the profit was given back to the student.
In some cases where universities have used student management, this system has not proven successful. Many schools are considering this sort of a plan, in order to effect a great saving to the students. The University of Minnesota has undertaken this system for the coming year.
paper at the big school. The paper declares that "certain of our unbearded instructors are still susceptible to morbidity," and sorority girls are aware of this fact. Because of their famed beauty, the California girls are easily winning their degrees. The student paper has its own campaign against the "vamping."
At the Southern Branch of the University of California in Los Angeles, the freshmen women are also initiated to wear green arm bands and obey all regulations of the University. As a penalty if they fail to do this, the upper class women put a sack around them, do hair up in some ridiculous fashion and parade them around the campus.
A recent attack on the present styles in vogue among the coords at the University of California has resulted in a general riot there. Mass meetings are being called and all of the grids' organizations are uniting in recombination for an end to the parcel. Final action will be taken shortly and doubles such stringent simplifications in dress as fashion shall dictate will be achieved.
