The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news and sharing it; to hold varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to the students of the University.

THE PADDLING VOTE
Men of the University today declared overwhelmingly in favor of paddling as a means of enforcing the tradition of freshman caps. But scores who voted yes, made comments on their ballots suggesting that the paddling be regulated.
Numerous suggestions as to methods were made. These will be incorporated in stories to be published in the Kansan next week. The University Senate disciplinary committee will handle the suggestions, in response to their request for an expression of student sentiment.
IS IT THAT LONG?
The Kansan thinks the vote today should be given due consideration by the University officials now debating the paddling question.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
The University Kansan hasn't any "Twenty Years Ago" column, but the Kansas City Star thinks its department 'When Seniors Were Freshman' answers the purpose. Looking back over that eventful three year period, the seniors probably feel that it has been at least a quarter of a century."—Coffeville Journal.
The last roommate to retire always tell it the next of her bed to hear him
Great discovery: Women are not the only ones to be told their clothes look good on them.
You might think that a few students controlled this University by the "honors" under some pictures in the Jayhawker.
The student who has so much to do seldom gets behind in his work. He can't afford it.
It will soon be time to "paddle your own canoe," and the freshmen, too.
The honor system may be a failure here but we can point to one place where it works out—the state penitentiary.

Probably more flags are being displayed in Topeka now than ever before in the city's history, except on holiday or convention occasions.
FLAG ETIQUETTE
There is a strict etiquette governing the display of Old Glory, which many patriotic Topekans have overlooked.
Raise the flag at sunrise or after,
never before.
Lower the flag at sunset.
When draping the flag against the side of a room of building, place the blue field always to the north or east. Good taste requires that bunting be placed at the top, followed by the white and the blue in accordance with the heraldic colors of the flag. It is a mark of disrespect to allow the flag to fly over the night. A flag down is a signal of the threat. Top Capital.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith bus operation, and published if the bus adheres to its consent.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
What is the matter with the women at the University of Kansas? Every other college of any importance has a Woman's Forum or some other organization where women may meet and discuss current affairs.
The men in the University have such an organization in the International Polity Club but its membership is not open to women. Why doesn't the Women's Government Association or some of the other women's organizations start a movement for such an organization.
The average woman in college is too busy to keep in touch with everything that is going on in this world of action but through such an organization and by coming in contact with others interested in history in the making and international problems those desiring such information might attain it with but little expenditure of time.

Book Reviews
Part A takes up the subject of economics and legislation wherein they affect the general location problem. Without going into too much detail, the effect of volume of traffic, operating expenses, rates and revenues, and Government control, is clearly brought out.
A number of good books have been written on the subject of railway location, dealing with special features which the authors desired to develop. It has been left to Prof. C. C. Williams to present a really comprehensive study of the findings of various technical societies and the results of experiments of numerous companies, as well as his own observations and deductions, in his "Design of Railway Location." The treatment is original in this field but the book is not a standpoint. The problem is taken up as one in design, just as any other engineering problem is treated, the object being to design the transportation plant that will handle the traffic available most safely and economically as affected by features of grade and width. The book is divided into four parts.
Part B takes up operating conditions affecting location. Much valuable data on this matter has been collected from various sources and can be used for practical use. Many formulae, both theoretical and empirical, have been given in such a way that they are readily adapted to the actual situation of the resident or the practical railroad official.
Part C takes up special problems in location such as are pressing for solution at the present time, namely, line changes and grade reduction, elimination of grade crossings, additional track construction, ban railways. These very important problems are discussed in the light of present experience and future needs.
Part D covers the acutal operation of location surveys. The range has been greatly broadened over the usual set form to include the entire engineering operation in proper sequence from time of inception to completion, and the range has been enlarged which adds much to the value of this part of the book.
As a text for engineering students this work fills a very large vacancy in the literature of the profession. The logical order in which the design is presented, the immeasurable manner in which presented, the wide vision in treatment, and the limits within which it is confined make it invaluable to the instructor and student alike. As a reference book for engineers as soon as a long hoped for summary of recent information on this very live subject.

"IF YOU WERE DEAN."
"IF I WERE DEAN," written by a Senior Law who has been right in the midst of K.

It sizes up the situation completely, and you will recognize your favorite professor and your pet theory as to how YOU would run things—
