THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1916. The smallest roadside pool has its nest in the basin. It gathers from the sun, and can draw water to the bosom, as well as the great ocean. The pool is also designed for can live splendidly—William G. Jan- FOR THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE The University of Kansas today presents the appearance of a house divided against itself. On the one side is the faculty, as represented by the Senate and disciplinary committee; on the other, the student body. Co-partners in a great institution and with interests identical, the two have become factions arrayed against each other. The Kansan believes this situation is as artificial as it is deplorable. The faculty is not—or at least certainly should not be—a body of military disciplinarians to hold the student body in restraint. A faculty man is not a policeman. Nor is a student an unruly outlaw chafing to break the hand of authority above him. This is going out of style even in high schools. It assuredly is out of harmony with the university idea. On the contrary, students and faculty are rather co-workers striving towards a common goal—education. Both are interested in the preservation of order. Both are concerned in the problem of disruption of routine. There was a Naughty Rally. Students and faculty suffered. And both should have taken part in the solution of the difficulty. Yet the faculty stepped in, single-handedly conducted an investigation, single-handedly sized up the situation, and single-handedly proscribed a penalty—a penalty which the majority of the student body and the Daily Kansan consider too severe. Possibly the students were largely to blame for this. Two years ago the Student Council voluntarily surrendered its part in University discipline. In the light of facts in hand at present, the Kansan looks upon this as a grave mistake. But be that as it may, the fact remains that the action of the disciplinary committee at beat represented only one party in the University. For these reasons, the, Kansan urges: First: That the Senate hold a joint meeting with a representative delegation of students to discuss the present dilemma and if possible to work out a solution satisfactory to both. For the personnel of this delegation, the Kansas suggests the regularly elected heads of the various student organizations—the classes, the schools, and other strictly University organizations. Second: That this conference be in the near future—not later than next week. Third: That in the future the problem of University discipline be placed in the hands of a committee made up of representatives from the faculty and student body. The Kansan has confidence in the incinerity of the faculty. It also believes in the good faith of the student body. The ambition of this paper is to bring the two together, and to promote a better understanding and spirit of comradeship between them. They have to behave at Baker. The president of that university has decided that there shall be no more spooning on the campus, and to enforce his decision, he is having electric bulbs placed at all the favorite spooning centers. COLLEGE FADS Colleges are like everything else in this world. They have a number of peculiarities that stand out prominently. At the University of Kansas the most noticeable are the Engineers' boots, Senior Laws' canes, and last year's graduates. At the Journalists, the thump of the Engineers' boots echoing through the halls is a familiar sound on the Hill. A person strolling on the campus frequently will hear a gentle tapping on the walk. He will turn to the door with a look at his heels. But to his surprise it is only a Law out with his cane. One of the most entertaining sights on the Hill is to see a Law trying to master the use of his cane. A stranger is liable to be startled by a swishing sound, but his fears are heightened. You're likely to try drum up a few news items for the last edition of the Kansan. Such is life on the Hill. You rarely hear a student talks about the good old days when there were no note books left by preceeding classes. LOST? There were criticisms and reports and reviews for the morrow—but the day was too wonderful. It was one of those beautiful d. ys of Indian lands, where she lived in the brightness of whose sunshine invited to walk. So lessons were thrown aside, and a whole half day was frittered away in strolling along, seeing new scenes or new aspects of old ones, discovering quaint and picturesque homes about which the day could cinderlinger and weave tales. But all to no purpose, the day was fritted away, and not a lesson prepared! Fritted away? Maybe! But in the storehouse of the memory archive you have while reviews and themes and reports are long since forbidden. COURTESY Courtesy is one of the tests of a true gentleman or lady. Some people consider it rather superficial, something to be put on at certain times, like "company manners." But genuine courtesy comes from within, not just in front of people. The rush of this busy life forges the art of being polite. For they haven't time! Do you always think of the other person when you should? Do your always help others when you have the opportunity? Do you always retain the same unperturbulent state of mind no matter what hapens to happen. Problems include many, many things too numerous to mention. A man is judged by his actions. It makes a difference whether he is courteous and polite or rude and impolite. For courtesy is the true test of character, and "the inseparable companion of virtue." Jayhawk Squawks Suggestion for the disciplinary committee—Why not keep a more rigid watch on the studies to see that not one of that species goes unpunished after putting sand in another's chewing gum? Was it the Sour Owl that gracefully cook while the game was in progress? Jim Dash was reading one of those post cards to be mailed home to parents. "I don't know about this 'permanently,' father, frown may take that as a joke." When Nebraska lost to Kansas the press reports stated the Cornhuskers left the field crying. We were glad Kane had not stuffed our stuff after the Thanksgiving game. Victoria cross to mother—(Head line). And to her sisters too. We are waiting to hear Jay House, of Topela, ask us if we found it in Museum Park. "Should women propose?" In our humble opinion, NO. They might ask the right man and be accepted. Women can't be too particular in choosing a husband; if they do they won't get one. No, Phoebe, we were mistaken, freshmen are not the only ones who take part in rallies, as evidenced by recent action of the dis. Committee. And furthermore, a quietous has been placed on rallies, especially those of extemporaneous origin. —H. P. POET'S CORNER If you think you think you're new, don't be afraid.

CAMPUS OPINION Communication must be written at evidence of good faith not names will not be pursued without the writer's consent SWAT EM! Editor Daily Kansan: And now comes the inevitable whine because the disciplinary committee has seen fit to mete out deserved punishment to several students who, not wanting to work them, were forced to work by starting a so-called rally. By the action of a few ring-leaders, two thousand students were interrupted in their morning's work when a rally had been called for later in the day. Figuring that this would be the last such event each, the total cost of the disturbance was around five or six hundred dollars. If leaders of such lawlessness were allowed to go without severe punishment, what would become of discipline? Note that I said 'severe'. Light punishment for a serious offense is only an enforcement of it. No other question should be allowed to cloud the big point of discipline. The manner, the trial of the disciplinarian, the main issues in the lawyer's quibble. To raise a howl about details of the conduct of the disciplinary committee not only ten1- to discredit the members personally, but flavors of trying to beg the question. Future cases of similar nature will be judged by the penalties inflicted in this one. And the question of more cases arising depends upon the fact that this instance, and the steadfastness with which it is carried out. R. F. Curry, e'18. AT OTHER SCHOOLS CLASSIFIED The University of Washington lost four of its valuable musical instruments from the Chinese section of the museum, November 14, when a thief reed flutes and two stringed relics. This is not the first time that the collection has been tampered with. Only last summer a valuable Japanese tapestry was discovered at the art room. It is feared that students are responsible for these thefts. The Associated Student Players of the University of Washington are making plans for a home grown moving picture film of one real. The characters will be written by the University campus, the characters will all be active collegians, and the scenario will be written by a student. The object of the production is to promote the creative arts on the campus. In this presentation has not yet been set. PROFESSIONAL CARDS G. W. JONES, A. M. M. D. Diseases of Louse Suite 1, J. A. U.
