LET'S HAVE A DEAN OF MEN
Lets' have a Tommy Clark at this University. The University of Illinois has Tommy Clark as its Dean of men, and he has proved his worth to the institution as well as to the men of the University. Are there not countless occasions upon which he could be in valuable assistance to the students, and at the same time co-operate with the faculty in adjusting matters of importance? We need such a man at Kansas. The position of Dean of men is not a new one, and it is not an experiment. Such institutions as Harvard Yale, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and others each have a Dean of men and in every instance they have proved of great value to both the men and the institution.
He is not to be a policeman, but rather a true friend of the students, and one in whom each man may confide his difficulties and his troubles. He is simply one of the boys, and a loyal supporter of the institution. Men in authority in the University have warmly approved of having such a man here. They know the value of a man who shall possess those qualities necessary to such an undertaking, and however difficult it may be to find the man for the position, it is safe to assent that he can be found. Surely Kansas should make a forward step by demanding a Dean of men.
A stolen kis s in Kansas is worth only $600 but in California the same commodity is valued as $10,000 according to suits filed in both states recently.
THE LABOR MINORITY
The decision of the American Federation of Labor to enter politics by swinging its four million votes in favor of the candidates who are friendly to labor regardless of their party will have a decided effect on the views of the candidates. For if organized Labor votes solidly the candidate who seeks election cannot be hostile to their demands. The man who prefers office will lay his ear to the ground, listen to the demands of the trade unionists, and incorporate the most reasonable of these into his platform.
In its general aspect the movement of Labor into politics is commendable. It indicates that the power of the ballot is being substituted for the power of the strike which is a correct interpretation of democracy.
But the same danger threatens in this move that threatens in the use of the strike, namely class rule. Under the American system of government a minority of four million men, strongly organized, may be able to assume control of every department of the gov-
adah adi to adu
ermerment. The United States can never tolerate a system of government in which an organized minority has charge of the administration of the law. As a movement bringing pressure to bear on radical Capital, Labor's entrance into politics should succeed but as a means of gaining control of the government for its sole benefit it must fail.
The agitation of Topeka newspapers for the children of Topeka to bring their own drinking water to school has aroused the suspicion that the capital town is not as dry as Kansas is supposed to be. The school children at the Potwin school are drinking out of whiskey bottles but the papers report that the original contents of the bottles has been emptied by their dads.
"SLIPPERY SLIDE"
"Oh, boy, here we go for a touch down."
And the excited student sat down on the slide, and yelping deliciously, scooted twelve feet to the ground over a "slippery-slice" bought and intended for the school children of Lawrence.
While the University student is granted open season on "calf love" through the entire four years, at some time in his career he should come to that state where he has "cast away childish things." If he does not wish to cast away the childish things, he might at least have some regard for property rights and try to put things back the way he found them.
The kiddishness of the average University student, both on a playground and in class, is very aptly illustrated in the fact that the school board in Lawrence has protested that fact that several of the slippery slides and horizontal bars at the ward schools have been used and damaged by University students.
THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR
The appointment of Sir Auckland Geddes as British ambassador to the United States was announced officially from London last Monday. The ambassador will arrive in America in about a month to begin his duties here.
It is said that Sir Geddes will be the first British ambassador to come to this country with any considerable knowledge of trade affairs and a strong conviction of their underlying importance to the two countries in the post-war era. His predecessor, Lord Reading, as ambassador, had business experience, but this mission was tied up chiefly with war finance, and his duties in regard to ordinary commerce were sidetracked by war duties.
Geddes has been president of the English board of trade and has had wide executive experience in the consular service, as well as having dealt with the most important business questions of the kingdom. It is said that he will bring to his new office none of the prejudices of the old school European diplomats, now passing from the stage, who considered high politics their sphere and trade almost beneath their dignity.
The high cost of living at Washington has been the obstacle in the way of our government in securing a suitable man for this post, who was willing to take it at the salary allowance it carried. Diplomatic diplies say that in this instance the allowance will be raised. It is expected that the appointment of Geedes will bring about a closer understanding on the part of England of our inter- and complicated difficulties.
ONE QUARTER MISSING
A woman is worth only three-quarters of what a man is worth. So sayeth the house of commons in England. This "missing quarter" idea was discovered when it was reported that Lady Astor, member of that honored body, was only to receive $1,500 pay instead of the customary $2,000 that is due such a member.
ONE QUARTER MISSING
English women declare that if the men would only try hard enough they could easily find that missing portion. The men agree that the ladies have the heart, the head, the body, the arms and legs of the average person, so what then is the missing quarter? The men hint at the fact that they are minus the full allotment of brains.
Campus Opinion
Editor. Daily Kansan:-
Tuesday's issue of the University Daily Kansan contains an article which is rather distasteful to a number of students who believe in the best interests of the University and in fair play. We refer to Dry Verse by C. E. W., which appears to us a direct knock on the K. U. instrument. In response to an aggitation between the Y. M. C. and the A. E. F. Club.
QUANTITIES OF SING
As we understand it the policy of the Kansan is to stand for the ideals the University holds, to play no favorites, to be clean, cheerful, charitable, and courageous. In our estimation, C. E. W. has been appointed a Koecking certainly shows a lack of cheerfulness, and the attempt to create factionalism in the University is most certainly far from being charitable or courageous. The article hints at graft, but he has seemingly forgotten the purpose of the Karnival and how it to be coached. And we fail to recognize the hint of a proper meaning for the ideals the University holds."
Editors Note; The policy of the Kansan has always been to support the Y. M. C. A. and all student activities such as the Karnival. It is thoroughly in sympathy, with the Karnival and will back it in the same manner as other activities. The readers should not take matter which appears in the joke or feature articles of the paper too seriously.

The research facilities of the General Electric Company are an asset of world-wide importance, as recent war work has so clearly demonstrated. Their advantages in pursuits of peace made them of inimitable value.
A most interesting story tells the devices involved which substantially aided in solving one of the most pressing problems of the war—the submarine menace. Fanciful, but no less real, were the results attained by a number of officers fighting with flying ships, and made possible the sending, without a wire, history-making messages and orders to ships at sea. Scarcely less important was the X-ray tube, specially designed for field hospital use and used to examine products for both combat and industrial use; did their full share in securing the victory,
In the laboratories are employed highly trained physicists, chemists, metallurgists and engineers, some of whom are experts in converters for the generation of electricity. To convert the resources of Nature to be of service to man, but to increase the mediums of electricity in every area, a great deal is needed wherever electric is used.
Scientific research works hand in hand with the development of new devices, more efficient apparatus and processes of manufacture. It results in the discovery of better and more useful materials and ultimately in making happier and more livable the life of all mankind.
