DON'T BE ONE SIDED The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the University wants to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wife Lindsay; in all, to serve the best students of the University. There is nothing worse that could happen to a man or woman and especiarity are the ones that the people be accused of being one sided; of passing up opportunities to gain a broad knowledge. You who are in the University are the ones that the people of your home town and your state look to bring before them some new idea or some better way of doing the things that are necessary, than is now being practiced. Time and again you'll hear students say: "Aw, what's the use of taking that course I'll never use it," or, "Let's go to a concert instead of the lecture." Sometimes that student will want the points brought out in that class or that lecture, and will want them badly, in order to add force and character to what he wants to say. There is an exhibit of art and noted pictures now in the art department in the Administration Building, and newspaper stories and editorials have been written upon it, and yet the students of the University refuse to go. The old saying is "A little knowledge is worse than none at all" so broaden yourselves, get another side to your lives than the one in which you are specializing, so that you may, if nothing else, be able to carry on an interesting conversation on more than one topic. The opinion of many people concerning your personality and your intelligence is formed by your ability to be a good conversationalist. The city jail in Austin, Texas, has been rented to a storage company as one result of prohibition. Respectable boxes and bundles and trunks instead of common drunks must give the old building a very distinct shock. A REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM To better understand the proposed new constitution which will come up for a vote of adoption next week it is necessary to analyze the system under which new laws will come into force. Administrative powers will be vested in the Student Council. It will not be the present unwieldy body. It will be only half as large since it will have one representative for each two hundred students instead of each one hundred. This Council shall initiate all legislation. But after initiating the proposed legislation must be submitted to an Advisory Assembly for its discussion and decision. Here is where self-government will function. This Assembly is to be composed of all group representatives. These representatives shall be elected by the several groups in the fall, each member representing an organized group of fifteen or more men. The group may be a boarding club or any similarly organized group. This Assembly is to meet at the call of the Council and a quorum shall consist of a majority of the members. Under such a plan every student in school will know personally his representative in student administration. To him will be brought student opinion concerning legislation and through him will function the student sentiment of the group he represents. Every group will have a fair share of influence under the new system. CIVIL BONUS LEGISLATION Much concern is felt in Washington over the failure of the house to include the $240 bonus for federal employees in the appropriation bill. Under the present system promotions have been made by grades, and with the advancement of a grade, a bonus averaging $200 is given. The bonus system was regarded as a temporary affair, cut the cost of living in Washington to higher today than it was twelve months ago when the increase was made and employees who have profited by the increase feel that they will be unable to continue their present positions without it. As well as setting them back a grade, the federal workers consider it a general lowering in salary since the bonus has always been considered a part of the salary. Some difficulty has been experienced in the various departments in keeping employees of the present salaries, and it is the belief of many officials that permanent elimination of the bonus system, would mean general demoralization of the federal service as a whole, as well as certain disaster in the various scientific bureaues of the government service, including the bureau of standards, bureau of chemistry, coast and geodetic survey and other scientific and technical bureaues. In the geological survey alone it is said that more than thirty-four percent of its positions have been vacant for the last eight months, and according to an official in that department the remaining employees would leave Friends of the employees in the house are formulating plans by which the elimination of the bonus may be prevented, at least for a time.
