The Daily Kissan aims to picture
the university as the University
of Kansas; to go farther
than merely printing the news
by standing for the ideals of the Uni-
versity of Kansas, plus for its ability
to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to
deal with; to bestow its best of its ability the students of the University.

AN ANNUAL AFFAIR
The University of Kansas is to be congratulated upon the success with which the first round Karnival was ended. It was not a matter for personal congratulation, although the management should come in for its share of credit. The entire student body is what made the Karnival the function that it was. Staid Seniors, dignified Juniors and sophisticated Sophomores reverted to the freshman stage, cut loose and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
From the painted speller on the lower floor ti the most staid entertainment perpetrated up-stairs the evening was given over to hilarity and good fellowship.
Organizations that put on stunts for the benefit of other organizations and the student body at large should feel themselves highly complimented. The genuine Kansas spirit was shown in all the events of the evening.
It is a revival of that old spirit that has made the name of Kansas famou over the country. As a student expressed it the other day, "I hope the Karnival will be all that they claim for it, it would certainly be a source of great joy if the University could pull off an all-University affair full of pep and reverberating with that old time spirit." And surely, now, that student is satisfied.
Let's be sure and made it an annual affair. Each year striving to rival the preceding one and each year working out better and bigger stunts that ever before. Let us in the future say, "New Orleans has her Mardi Gras but K. U. has her Karwai."
A thrill that comes once in a lifetime sensation was experienced by a Lawrence woman the other day when her grocer sold her ten pounds of sugar all at one time.
A BROTHER TO BIG SISTER
Nearly one, two, three, or four years ago the men of the University of Kansas went through the experience of enrollment and the first week of school life. If you are an upper-classman and accustomed to the way of University life the memory of those first few days perhaps brings a smile. If you are a freshman you still may be working under the handicap of the mistakes you made in initiating yourself into the new life.
The typical freshman man comes to the University with only a lazy idea regarding his course. Except for a few hasty suggestions from upperclassmen to avoid this or that instructor, and a crowded moment
with an unimaginative adviser, he fights his way unaided through enrollment day and the first few days that follow. Frequently he takes up the wrong subject and he wastes three or five hours learning something he does not need. Unless in the hands of upperclassmen friends this typical freshman must force his own way until he acquires the momentum furnished by friends and a better understanding of what the University really is.
The freshman woman has a big Sister. Now, by the powers granted in the proposed new men's student constitution, it is planned to give the freshman a Big Brother, Juniors and Seniors will become responsible for sealing that freshmen entering the University are given various kinds of assistance and in particular through personal conferences with advisers and by other means are immediately informed concerning the traditions, ideals and student activities of the University. The plan is a practical way of putting K. U. first.
This is one part of the constructional program proposed under the new men's student constitution. The constitution will be voted on for adoption Thursday. Supporters of the university will vote for it.
While the waiters and check girls have been worrying about their income tax returns the members of the teaching profession who have spent years in preparation for their work have been spared the trouble. There is some compensation in life for the school marm, after all.
WILL GET POOR IMPRESSION
The University's collection of trophies won in athletic events will be one of the principal items of interest to high school visitors when they are shown about the campus this week. Kansas should be proud of its tokens of victory, and high school students are at the age when such a collection will make a strong impression.
But at present, it is almost impossible for the trophies to be displayed because the R. O. T. C. office takes up practically the entire room. The trophy room has been used for military headquarters for nearly two years, since the establishment of the vocational training section here in the summer of 1918, and surely by this time better quarters are available. The military authorities are said to be willing to move elsewhere if another place can be provided for them, and this should be done before the tournament so the collection of trophies may be put at the disposal of the sight seeing high school players.
Other rooms in the gymnasium, said to be necessary for dressing rooms, are being used by the R. O. T. C. to store supplies. Another place should be found for these as soon as possible, so the visitors may be given every convenience.
More military supplies are on the way and the problems of where to store them will be a serious one. The best way to a solution is to begin making arrangements now before the material is received. Visiting high school players will receive a poor impression of the University and the work of the athletic management in arranging the tournament will be nullified if the dressing quarters are not equal to their needs.
Before long we may expect to find that everything is beneficial now that a University instructor has demonstrated that in place of being a pea, the English sparrow is an asset to the Kansas farmer.
Ye Good Old Days
Although the University of Kansas was the first school in the United States to admit women students on equal terms with men the charter institution provided for two separate schools, a male branch and a female branch, with special teachers and buildings for each. This provision was never enforced; however, and the University always a co-educational institution.
The original draft of the University charter provided for equal rights and privileges for both sexes, but this proved a bit too radical for some members of the legislature. The charter in its entirety was in dancer of being deceived when the separate school child was put on. This clause provided as follows:
THE SPRING HAT
With the dawning of warmer days has come with woman's Spring hat. It is the preface of Spring, a hint of the clear blue skies and budding trees to follow. To the cold blustery March day it adds a touch of hopes with its message of warm balmy days soon to come. It counsels patience to those who are tired of winter. It is a message of optimism, this Spring hat, for all its blossoms and greenery lookin' like a miniature bit of next month garden set on a woman's head to forecast the speedy arrival of the best loved sea son—Spring.
"The female branch shall be taught exclusively by women, and buildings for that branch shall be entirely separate from the buildings of the male branch, and to establish and maintain the said female branch the regents shall annually appropriate sufficient amount of the funds of the University."
The bill carried with this concession and it was not long before the University opened its doors. But there were no separate schools for the two universities, and they were regarred. It was not long before this provision was entirely forgotten.
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
With the present system of averaging the scholarship for student organizations, one group might have a scholarship rating of 100 per cent and at the same time have an actual average which is but 10 per cent higher than an organization whose scholar-rating is 0 per cent.
Is it fair to base the scholarship standing of student organizations upon such an arbitrary and wholly inadequate procedure? It is now possible for an organization to have a number of C's (e.g. grade equal to 85 when graded on the basis of 100), and be credited with a record of 100 per cent in scholarship, while it is equally possible for an organization having a standing of no less than D (which is a passing grade equivalent to approximately 75 on the basis of 100) to given a scholarship rating of 0 per cent.
On what grounds was such a system adopted? The two reasons most apparent were a desire to avoid a more difficult method or an inability to devise one.

On Other Hills
Three students of the University of Illinois have either been expelled from school) of from a particular class because of violation of the honor system. One, a sophomore, was expelled for cribbing in an examination in calculus while the two other were freshmen and were expelled, one far sending in a false attendance slip and the other being expelled as a theme article copied from the Literary Digest. The expulsions were made by the Council of Administration acting on the recommendation of the student honor committee.

Do You Hate to Get Up in the Morning?
Religion is an asset too.
Yet you do.
That is, week days you do.
An education is an asset, even if we do all we can to prevent ourselves from acquiring one.
Lying in bed Sunday morning never yet made a man more religious.
Wake up!
