The Daily Kaiser wants to recruit students from the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals The University holds to be holy; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.
"SQUIRRELS"
About the most despicable thing a man can do is to cast a alur upon the name of woman. This action has been taken by the unknown writers of a vicious, lying anonymous "squirrel print" which appeared on the campus Tuesday night. Luckily, a University organization heard of the publication, and recovered and destroyed most of the copies.
THURSDAY MAY 13, 1920
The sheet is a violation of all laws of decency and most of the statutes, and calls for investigation on the part of the county authorities.
No student deserving the company of decent citizens would be connected with any such publication, and no true motive or desire to "clean up" the University, would be hack of any such sheet.
Mere expulsion from the school is not sufficient punishment for such detainable actions. It is up to the students and the Student Council to for-ret out the perpetrator of the sheet, fillet even in name, and insist that the severest penalties be meted out to him. H. L.
HARVARD RECOGNIZES WOMEN
During the last two weeks, university women who will be graduated in June have received notice that the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been established and is open to women.
This is the first time that women have been admitted to any regular department of Harvard University. Certain organizations connected with the university, such as the Harvard Summer School, and the School of Public Health, admitted women but in the history of Harvard, no regular department has done so.
The adoption of this new policy at least "let's down a piece of a bar" and necessitates a change in the statutes of the university. This new step was taken as a result of the feeling at Harvard that women play too important part in the affairs of the country to permit them to be excluded from a graduate school of education without losing an opportunity for usefulness.
The general policy of Harvard with respect to coeducation is not affected by this decision, for the advantages and disadvantages of a coeducational system are considered by the university authorities to be a question still to be settled. They hope that this new step will help to solve the problem. Therefore, it is not expected that any other Harvard department will soon follow this example. It is argued that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton should no more open their doors to both men and women, than should Wellesley, Vassar and Smith.
The establishment of the new
school was made possible by a gift of half a million dollars given from the Harvard Endowment Fund. The remainder of the money was collected by the university. The fund has been named in honor of Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University.
TAKE THEIR FOOTBALL HARD
TAKE HEIR HOME!
Football enthusiasts will perhaps be amused to hear of the uproar which followed a match recently held at Viagogo, in Tuscany, between a local team and one from Luca.
Before the close of the game it game-dedicated into a fight, which in itself may be nothing new in the annals of football, but matters became so serious that it was necessary to bring troops to the scene. The anarchists are said to have retaliated by declaring a general strike. The latest news received stated that 2,000 troops occupied the town of Viaggiogio, and it was believed that order would soon be restored.
WHY NOT SHOW OFF THE SCHOOL?
One of the greatest show places the University has is its museum. Relies and specimens have been collected and arranged there from every race of people, and from every stage of mankind. Birds and insects from all parts of the world have been gathered and are in the building, and yet some people are denied the right to view them.
There are people in this town and in neighboring towns who are interested in the things which the museum has to show, and yet they cannot spare the time to come on weekdays. Their only time is on Sunday, and this day, of all days when the museum should be open to the public, it is locked, for want of a guide. Calls have come in from isolated parties time and time again to have the museum open so that they might view the treasures in it. This condition of affairs should not be necessary. Is there not some way by which this building can be opened on Sundays as well as on other days, and a guide supplied to explain the curios collected there.
It is one of the University's biggest advertising points, and
It is one of the University's biggest advertising points, and yes it must be allowed to go to waste.
Campus Opinion
A POLITICAL LABORATORY Editor, Daily Kansan.
It is somewhat remarkable that in the great science of politics there appears no tendency whatever to trial scientists for other sciences many laboratories are open. Much testing goes on. Students try numerous experiments. There is investigation of all life from small forms up to the mammalia.
But in the processes of large public concern in government, nothing is done. True, student self government is on trial. But this is limited to the application to students of a certain kind of effort is made toward simplification, or greater responsiveness, or fuller or clearer expression.
For example, in the 1920 constitution of the Men's Student Council, there is no principle nor detail that is not long established. In nearly all civilized countries except the United States, and even in a few cities in this land, proportional representation has been introduced to lessen the evils of a so-called minority rule by majority rule. As far back as Jefferson's first message to Congress the danger of suppression of minorities was pointed out. But the practice has continued unabated.
On Other Hills
Often the choice of the voter is not between what he wants and what he does not want, but instead is reduced to choice among several things, none of which he wants, but one of which he has to take. He may try to meet the least of the evils. This is not representative government.
The various organizations of students and faculty, offer fine opportunity to try out ideas that are new to them. Such ideas may be where, such as proportional representation and preferential ballot. Much could be demonstrated practically as to "list systems," "plumbing," the short ballot, and be required instead of more plurality. Where more than one representative is to be named, as on the student council provision could be made for expression of any free choice he might have in having a majority in all representation.
Freshman tradition-breakers at the University of Southern California will in the future be tried before a judge and a jury. If no charges are filed, the will appoint an attorney to defend any of its members who may be accused.
The student body of the University of Michigan will set a precedent by electing the president of the Student Council for next year at the All-Campus election. A referendum vote also will be taken on the opinion towards the use of the school, auditorium for political speeches.
Twenty-five former service men of the University of Colorado have organized an Aero Club.
By means of a fixed ratio between inhalation, exhalation, and variations in blood pressure, a professor of Ohio State University is experimenting on a machine which he, believes, when it will register a person's veracity.
P. R. & P. B.
The University of Michigan has raised $365 for a portrait of President H. B. Hutchings, who is soon to retire from his position as head of the University. Mr. Ralph Clarkson has been engaged to paint the portrait.

You do not kiss amiss; but if
You miss the miss you wish to kiss
And kiss the miss you wish to kiss
Then you kiss the miss amiss.

What's a "fair" Price?
WHEN you buy anything, you ought to be willing to pay at least what it cost to produce it; plus a margin of profit to the maker, and to the merchant who has brought the merchandise to you; where you can see it, try it on, decide that it's what you want.
The service rendered by the maker and the merchant are a part of what you pay for; you ought to pay for it willingly. If that service were not rendered there wouldn't be any merchandise here for you to buy.
Now, we aim to charge for our clothes merely "fair" prices; fair to both of us. We're going to make a fair profit, too. Our profit comes out of the money you pay us; yours comes out of the clothes you get.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes give you the greatest profit; they cost enough to be good clothes; all-wool fabrics, perfectly tailored, smartly styled. They're the best clothes for you; that's why we sell them.
