THEIR NEW DUTIES
The responsibilities which their new position brings them should be deeply impressed upon the nine new members of the student council, elected Wednesday night. This year, of all years, the student council must be keenly alive to its opportunities, and ever eager to exert its influence for good. In a large measure, the welfare of the University will be affected by the wisdom and far-sightedness of those on the council.
Most pressing will be the solution of the graft problem. This, in all probability, will be the first thing to which the new members will have their attention turned; and they should give the matter long and careful thought. Whether K. U. is to be "cleaned up"—whether there is to be an end to "rotten graff," and the substitution for it of a system of adequate compensation for managers on a percentage basis, with the balance going to a commons fund—will depend almost solely on the student council. May their decision be a wise one, and its enforcement rigid?
The second question confronting council members will be that of freshman caps. How to foster the right sort of spirit toward the custom, how to enforce it and thus keep inviolate a K. U. tradition, and how to insure that future freshman classes will be required to continue the custom are all aspects of the problem which must be solved.
Then there is the matter of the permanent income. In just about a year from now the people of the state will be voting on the question; and it is up to the student council to create in the meantime, a state-wide sentiment in favor of it. The alumni association and the University's publicity manager will aid in the work, of course; but the student council must do its share.
And after that comes a lot of other matters—the erection of a commons, of a University cafeteria, of a woman's dormitory. The faculty and the student body must be brought into closer sympathy and understanding. And other vexing questions, bobbing up almost daily, will have to be solved.
Use your heads, members of the council! On your ability to see and to think depends much that is of prime importance to your Alma Mater!
No wonder the men in Company M need a company fund. They haven't been paid since they mobilized!
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS The thirty-two men who were selected from double that number of applicants for positions in the University band are to be congratulated. Bandleader McCanles always produces an organization of which the whole University has a right to be proud; and the selection of thirty-
two talented musicians after the tryouts carly this week is one of the evidences that the band this year is to be as good as any of those in the past.
The K. U. band has a standing among college bands the country over that is extremely enviable. Ten years ago this was not so. But since "Mac" McCanies decided to make Mount Oread the field for his musical endeavors, there has been steady and constant improvement. When Mac first came to K. U., the band practices sounded like boiler factory operations; today, the band plays "heavy" music attempted only by superior organizations—and plays it well.
Last night, candidates for positions in the University Orchestra attended the initial tryout in Fraser. From those who appeared last night, and those who subsequently try out, the University's orchestra will be chosen. Prof. F. E. Kendrie, a new member of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts, is to have charge of the orchestra this year. If he is to be expected to build up an organization that will be as successful as the band, he should have the support of every student who plays an orchestra instrument.
Lawrence pawnbrokers have a new rival—the University book exchange. The chief trouble is that books can be turned into cash only twice during the school year.
OTHER OPINIONS
UNIVERSITY AS USUAL
The business men of the country have adopted for their motto: "Business as Usual." We suggest as a University maxim "University as Usual." Although the times are not always so good, the best method to obtain the most profitable results, is to conduct one's activities as near normal lines as possible.
A certain readjustment must be made in the conduct of affairs to gain the greatest good, and the University has already made several "war" changes, such as the adoption of drill, placing emphasis on certain courses and the special training to produce the skill for the reconstruction period after the war. Part of the curriculum and were needed to meet current conditions.
Students should strive to conduct their affairs in a similar manner, adjusting themselves to meet changed conditions. Upon the declaration of war last spring the sudden change demoralized college work throughout the country, because the students and faculty members attempted to assist in preparedness and do college work at the same time.
POET'S CORNER
The function of colleges now is to aid in producing trained leaders and the proper way to do this, if one is in college, is to work diligently, as under normal times, and not let the changed conditions warp one's college experience.

Naturally, since he is contributing the proceeds of the later part of the evening to Company M, it means nothing to him (in so far as financial gain is concerned) whether you stop in at "Brick's" after the dance or not.—BUT
Whatever you spend for a dainty lunch at Brick's after the "ball" goes toward the comfort of the men in Company M.
When you stop at Brick's this evening after the Company M dance in Robinson Gym the entire amount of your purchase at the Oread Cafe will be contributed to the company fund of K. U.'s military organization—Company M.
This contribution is given solely through the generosity of the Oread Cafe's proprietor, E. C. Bricken.
Think of the University boys in uniform and go over to Brick's after the dance.
