The Daily Kanman aims to picture the undergraduates at the University to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the University wishes to be known to; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to the future; to best of its ability the students of the University.

CLEAN POLITICS
With the annual spring elections less than a month away the different political factions are beginning to get together on their tickets for the student council, the athletic board, and cheer leader. From the rumors going the rounds it is certain that there will be two and possibly three tickets in field.
The various factions will be coming forth with statements that unless their ticket is victorious the University will suffer. This talk should not be taken too seriously, however, as any ticket elected will undoubtedly try to give a good account of itself. Much will be said about what the various factions stand for in the way of betterment of the University. This is a good thing for the school, and the competition for the various offices may lead to some real constructive work in the government of the men of the University. This is one of the good features of student government.
When the politicians start their campaigns this spring it is hoped they will remember that a good way to help the University is to make clean campaigns. Not only will they get just as many votes but the University will be benefited.
WANTED: COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
WANTED! COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
The University of Kansas does not stand alone in the process of selecting a new president. The resignation of A. T. Hadley, president of Yale, which was handed in April 10, add one more university to the list of those which are seeking new heads for their institutions. Minnesota, Illinois, and Pennsylvania are among the universities on the lookout for presidents. California, Michigan and Wisconsin have just recently elected new heads.
In no other year have there been so many resignations of university presidents. If the present rate continues the demand for college, executives will soon be almost as great as the demand for plumbers. Is the office becoming unpopular or is it merely an age of change?
The most popular reason may be the one which was given by Chancellor Strong, that he considered this after war period a good time for reconstruction. Then, too, it may be possible that several of the presidents have considered resigning for the last several years but hesitated to do it while conditions were so unsettled. Of course, there are other positions offered with larger salaries and better opportunities for material success. Any man who possesses sufficient executive ability to direct a university is certainly fitted for many other excellent offices.
There is no doubt that a great change will take place in the educa-
institutional institutions of the country with the advent of so many new presidents. Consequently, much is at stake in determining who are to fill such prominent places in the process of reconstitution. It can only be hoped that a sufficient number if worthy men can be obtained to fill each vacancy successfully.
SWIM WE MUST
When it was announced that there can be no swimming meet this year because the pool is out of order it would appear that it is high time for definite measures to be taken in making its repairs.
The fact that the pool has not been in use has prevented many students from taking gymnastics work who really enjoy swimming but who do not care for the other kinds of work offered. Swimming is a pleasure to many of the freshmen and sophomores of whom gym work is required and it is only fair to them that they be allowed to take that form of exercise which has the greatest appeal to them.
There is no doubt that the University students are being denied one of the best all-around terms of athletics as long as they do not have the use of the swimming pool. Its popularity has always been proved by the size of the classes enrolled. Certainly there are people on the Hill who are not taking any form of exercise because they are not allowed to swim.
Now that one of the annual athletic events of the University will have to be canceled because of the failure to make the necessary repairs on the pool, it seems that some sort of a "We Must Swim" movement will have to be started by the students in order to bring about results.
Campus Opinion
ditor, Daily Kansan:
What is a radical?
What is a conservative?
The long suffering Great American Public is being continually afflicted from platform and pulp, from the magazine and the newspaper, with learned discussions of these two classes. The difficulty in understanding these varied attacks on the subject is that each and even every person on the subject has a differ- tive idea of the meanings of the terms.
Another common mistake is the supposition that it is possible to divide all people into three classes—conservatives, progressives and radicals. With the exception of a very few more or less violent monomans, whom we are pleased to term agitators, all persons will be found to be rather radical on some questions—and decidedly conservative on others. Probably the major difference would classify as progressive—willing to improve the situation, but anxious to investigate carefully before taking decisive steps.
Progressive
After all, the discussion has its humorous side—as most discussions on the part of certain persons that it is possible to make all humans believe the same thing—and that great harm will come to the race if all do not agree. The respected gentleman will come to the race firmly convinced that if any “radicals” are allowed to exist in America, all America will thereby be “radical”； and that therefore it is necessary to take drastic steps to change our society. On the other side we have right here in our own little community on the Hill a respected gentleman who chooses to call himself by the unvely title of "Neither Black nor White-Just-Human". That unless all “conservatives” are removed from the map great harm will be worked.
As long as both classes exist, we are safe. The predominating mild progressives, being acted upon on the one side by the "radical" element, and on the other by the "equal" element, in such its old position—and the whole will continue to balance nicely, as it always has in the past in this country.
Whence the humor.
Chester Holesele looked across the dinner table the other day and said: "My dear, you wish I could make bread such as mother used to make." Evelyn amiled and answered in a voice that did not tremble:
"Well dear, I wish you could make the dough that father used to make."

KANSAS . BASEBALL . HISTORY
KANSAS - BASEBALL - HISTORY
K. U. is said to have lost the first baseball game in its history by a score of 67 to 56. The game was played in 1898 when they were now defeated from what they were now, and when such scores were not unusual. A team from Toppeka defended the bueberies.
Little except tradition remains of the accounts of this first game, *fo* no records are to be found of it anywhere. It is believed that the original University nine was organized in 1874. F. B. Fottsford was captain of this team, but little record remains of what it did.
Baseball teams between 1874 and 1879 were not very successful, and only small account of their doings has been handed down. Varsity baseball was permanent in 1879 when the University Association was formed. Hospital trust was the president of the University, was president of the organization.
Intramural baseball, so far as can be learned, began in 1881. The series of three games between the classmates was played on baseball. The class of 82 took the championship in this series by winning two of the three games.

Word has recently been received at the department of physics that Lewis M. Hull, A B.'17, A M.'18, has been elected to the Whiting Fellowship in Physics at Harvard for the year 1920-21. Since graduation from the University of Kansas, Mr. Hull has been engaged in research work in the Bureau of Standards, the national laboratory, at D.C. where through a series of rapid promotions, he reached the rank of Associate Physician in the Radio Section. While at Harvard studying for his Doctor of Philosophy degree, Mr Hull will be on leave of absence from the Bureau of Standards.
Alva J. Graham, a student in the University during the year '83, and '84, and who returned later, receiving his degree from the School of Law in '91, was a visitor at the Sigma Nu house Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Graham is at the Sigma Nu house. At present Mr. Graham is an attorney at Winfield. He was accompanied to Lawrence by his daughter Ellabeth.
