The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely print the news on paper, and to hold the university holds; to play no farther to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

MAKING YOUR PAPER REPRESENTATIVE
Maybe you paid three dollars at the beginning of the year for the University Daily Kansan. Maybe you didn't but whether you did or did not the Kansan is YOUR PAPER, for it aims to reflect your view-point, and picture your life as it really is.
If the Kansan fails in this it is not entirely the fault of the Kansan staff. They are a busy group, taking regular class work, and doing the Kansan for no pay and little glory, outside this regular work. They are people interested in catching the spirit of the newspaper game, and in so doing, catching and reflecting the spirit of their reading public and those they represent.
In other words, the Kansan is striving to become a more representative student paper, and in doing this it is necessary to have the co-operation of the Kansan's readers. Twenty-five out of 3500 can hardly express the views and ideas of the whole group, and although they are capable of chronicling the big events that occur from day to day, it is difficult to make the columns of the Kansan savor of the true student sentiment without some kind of an expression of that sentiment.
It is easy enough to get news from the faculty—they are accustomed to being interviewed. It is a more difficult thing to interview the average student. They are usually too secretive or too talkative, making it impossible to get anything or impossible to nick the wheat from the chaff.
The editors and staff of the Kansan are trying to make the paper representative of the student body, and yet the big stories, and the lion's share of the little one's come from the faculty. Can it be possible that there are more good stories among the 250 members of the faculty than there are among 3,500 students? If not, why cannot the Kansan readers whom the paper endeavors to represent, give more thought towards making the paper what it should be?
The student opinion column is open at all times.
The editorial staff is always ready for suggestions.
The cubs and board members are always glad to get news tips about any story—no matter how small.
What are YOU doing to make YOUR PAPER bigger and better?
Only a few days more of examinations, and then we go "back to the grind."
AN HONOR SYSTEM
Every Utopian system of government and administration presupposes every man is working honorably in conjunction with his fellow man. It
takes for granted every man will work and do his share without the necessity of others watching him.
Thus it is Utopian schemes are impractical—because too much is asked of the average citizen, who needs something more than incentive to work shoulder to shoulder with other men without being tempted to steal the results of their labor.
But is the basic idea of Utopianism inapplicable to every case? Is there not a class of men who can prove that these ideas can be realized, and who will do their share towards bringing about the realization of that end.
It seems if the honor system is ever to receive a fair trial it is in our colleges and universities, where the flow of the nation is gathered together at the most impressionable age, and yet at that age where men are supposed to have gained a certain degree of discretion.
It should be the hope of every University of Kansas student to see the honor system established here. A system which takes for granted the presence of men and womena in the examination room—and not of half-wits and criminals.
A sentiment for the honor system can best be fostered by showing the powers that be—in our case the University Senate—that we, the students, place our stamp of approval on the system. And there is only one way to do the showing.
That way is to prove by present actions that an honor system is THE SYSTEM due them as the big men and women of the Kansas of Tomor-

JES' FILLER
We found him in Fraser
All bent and dented
Up.
It seems that he
Came in late to a lecture;
Cackled out loud to
The extreme delight
Of those around
Him; and then
Getting tired of
His location
Got up to leave in
The most interesting part
Of the speech.
But a gentleman
Followed him out;
Closed the door quietly
And then, grabbing
The public nuisance by
The collar,
He dropped him down
The stairs.
It was cruel maybe,
But—
He won't do that way
No more.
NEVAH Mo'!

This man who would stop hazing states boldly that he was once in a college town. It must be granted that he has certainly travelled a great deal.

The society editor writes that the Phi Kappas had their annual "Coamopolitan." That's nothing! We have finished our monthly "Parisienne."
It takes a woman to do things. When the women of the University of Minnesota edited the "Feminist Edition" of the Minnesota Daily, they didn't worry about the white paper problem. They used yellow paper.

Q. AND A.
To the Kansan:
Please explain the difference between the Junior Prom. and the Soph. Hop. What would be the proper thing to wear the Soph. Hop?
Dear Anxious:
Anxious.
Figuratively speaking the differ- ence is about $4.68. Well, now, after careful consideration of the question, we must bring to wear at the Hop would be kloze.
We should worry about wheat prices
or how flour's sellin' today.
Most of us can remember the time when the college student was a gaily dressed person who early adopted a pipe bearing strange insignia and allowed himself to be led about by a bull dog, stopping occasionally to give vent to a lusty rah, rah for something.

WHAT IS A COLLEGE STUDENT
There has been a mighty change in this person. He no longer feels under obligation to live up to the comic supplement ideal. The tendency with regard to personal appearance seems to be toward a more conservative attitude, a great compliment to college life, hazing, is also disappearing rapidly.
Shucks! That dope don't trouble us follow
What is the reason? We think it is that the college student has ceased to be quite such a rarity. Everybody goes to college now. There are tens of thousands of degrees handed out every June and the number is growing by the day. It is hard to guard to all this there is something that most of us should keep in mind.
With competition keener in every line of business it behooves the college student to get a few of the things that others are missing. The man who blunders his way through the University along with hundreds of others is not very far ahead when he encounters "forhearded" person will ask himself if he is making the most of his time. —Michigan Daily,
