OUT OF DATE
For nine years the University of Kansas has needed a new seal, but a yet no action has been taken with regard to providing one. Since 1911 when the Board of Regents was abolished as the form of University government and the Board of Administration came into being to supervise at state institutions, the seal has been out of date, for it bears the words, "The Regents of the University of Kansas' as its source of authority. For this reason, no legal significance is connected with its use, and it is used as little as possible. An ordinary notary's seal is now used in most University transactions.
The University seal was adopted in 1866 by Chancellor Oliver, and has been used without change since that day. The words, "The Regents of the University of Kansas," are the only ones in English appearing upon it. The figure of Moses and the burning bush, surrounded by a Latin inscription, accupy the center, while on the outside are the words, "Sigillum Universatis Kansiensis."
Although the seal from an artistic standpoint is scarcely a success, it is doubtful whether it would be wise to change its design, because of the great traditional value attached thereto. It is the only remaining symbol of the birth of the University. North College, the last landmark of that day, was torn down last year.
But a University seal should be something more than a figure of tradition. With the change in the method of administration, the inscription should have been altered accordingly so the seal might be of use in business dealings and documents. The University seal should have a legal value as well as a traditional one.
Liquor promises to be a campaign issue in the fall elections according to the papers. So we see that in spite of the cartoonists funeral beer wouldn't stay on its bier.
BLAME IT ON THE CHICLE
Chewing gum, accepting the scientist is, the most recent candidate for the position of influenza carrier. Germans, drinking water, and numerous other possibilities that have been mentioned in the attempt to discover the cause of the spread of the disease are said to be laugling in the rear.
The discovery of influenza among the "Chicheroes" or chicle gum gatherers of Mexico and Yucatan has caused unusual interest in medical circles of the world and careful attention is being bestowed upon the possibility that infection may be carried by an article which is in such general use, and which
is now being transported to the most remote countries of the world. It is conceded to be more than a coincidence that the spread of influenza and the discovery of germs in the crude gums of commerce have been discovered simultaneously. Because of the enormous demand for chewing gum the supply of chicle has run short and it has been necessary to use many sub attitudes. It is said to be very difficult to sterilize the product.
The discovery of organisms in chewing gum that at least bear a very close resemblance to that causing influenza has caused a decided sensation in the medical world, but whether the direct cause can be traced to chewing gum is still a question.
Little irradies of fate—the German socialists are kicking because ex-Emperor Wilhelm didn't invest in war bonds.
CAN ENFORCE ITS RULES
The proposed men's constitution is not a plan for shifting police powers from the faculty to the Men's Student Council. The big questions of discipline such as are involved in immorality, dishonesty, and cheating, and other problems of like difficulty will still be taken care of by the faculty.
But in promoting customs, movements, or traditions, such as Olympics and a Freshman Advisory System which bring honor and power to the University the Student Council has absolute power. Under the present outgrown constitution the Student Council has the power to pass an act but not to enforce it. For instance, every fall the Council goes through the process of passing the rule that all Freshman must wear their caps. After the rule has been passed it has no more power to enforce it than it has to say whether a man must wear rubberes on a rainy day. It only has the power of disenfranchising the student which is no power at all.
The byllows which the new Student Council passes will have special force because they will be the product of representative student sentiment. While the Council is the initiator of all legislation it cannot become law until passed by the Advocies Assembly composed of severity or eighty students representing the different groups within the University. This Advocies Assembly is a check against unwise or unfair legislation.
The average life of a clerk is shorter than that of a laborer. The average age at which a clerk dies is 34.99 years, while that of a laborer is 45.32.

The first college exchange to reach the desk containing a directory of students is the Georgia Technique, published at Atlanta, Georgia. Some organization is passing up a chance to preform a public spirited act as the K. U. Men's Student Council performs here.
According to the Bethany Messenger of Lindsborg, the next big drive at hat school will be "the elimination of hat grotesque appenage known as he ear, from the feminine physiognomy and the absolute annihilation of the sub-nasal toothbrush sometimes on masculine faces".
