Published In the afternoon five time daily, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and holding; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand the student of the University.

FOR BETTER GOVERNMENT
That student government as now operating at the University of Kansas is a failure is becoming more evident every day. The W. S. G. A. has never been able to enforce a majority of its rulings, and seldom can get out more than forty or fifty to a women's mass meeting. It took the Men's Student Council three meetings to get a quorum last week. And but four members attended the Union Debt dance with dates. These are but instances picked from a great number like them.
That it is not the individual members of the governing bodies that are at fault is proven by the failure of preceding Associations and Councils with altogether different personnel. The members of the present Council and Association probably are, on the average, as good as are available.
But there is a hitch somewhere. It may be that the idea of the system is all right, but the application is wrong. It may be that the failure is due to a misunderstanding of the government on the part of the student body. It may be that the governing bodies do not have the cooperation on the part of the students they should have. A dozen things may be the matter.
But that student government at present is a failure is a fact. Practically every student in the University feels that it is, but cannot offer a remedy right off the bat. He does not understand the present system of government. Nor is he familiar enough with other forms of student government to offer an amendment to the Kansas system.
It may be that the whole fault is the lack of knowledge on the part of the students. If it is the organization that gives them the knowledge will do one of the greatest goods for student government. During the semester the Daily Kansan will collect and offer to the students all information it can on the subject of student government. And at the same time will run the opinions of those best acquainted with various forms of student government as a sort of interpreter of the information given.
This material will be a presentation of facts given solely with the object of bettering student government at Kansas. If it will solve the difficulty by clearing up the present lack of understanding of the Kansas system on the part of the students or get some organization or group of students to bring out some amendment to improve the present system the Daily Kansan will have accomplished its purpose.
WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE!
The fact that the mill tax is up for reconsideration is prima facie evidence that a number of the legislators did not understand the proposition when it came up for vote. At the end of the balloting Thursday a number of the Representatives and Senators arose and changed their votes, because legislators coming later on the roll in explaining their vote had cleared up a lot of misconception on the part of the negative voting representatives.
Later one legislator who voted against the tax in explaining his stand to Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration, said that he opposed it because it would take the whole thing out of the hands of the people, by taking it from the legislature. He had overlooked the provision that the passage of the mill tax amendment would not affect any further appropriations that might be necessary. When President Hackney explained this to him he said he would vote for the measure when it came up again.
This is an example of the misunderstanding on the part of a great many of the legislators.
It's up to the students and faculty of the University to clear up the misconception of the tax by these legislators. Set down and get your pen and ink and write. Tell your representative or any other representative the straight of the tax, and you will be doing your part to make K. U. a better University.
If you want any information on the tax yourself call the Daily Kansan office or Prof. L. N. Flint, at 112 Fraser.
FOR FACULTY MIXER
We have student mixers and student smokers, and women's proms, and jay hops, all to get the students acquainted with each other. But we never have a thing to get that part of the University that carries its name in the back of the student directory on closer terms. We are not a faculty member and do not know what kind of feeling stirs in the breast of the Maloy's whiskered old chap, but we imagine that he likes company as well as the student.
Now this may be a preposterous proposition, but why not the faculty members have a mixer of their own, a beefsteak supper, a smoker, or some like social gathering, in which they could enjoy freedom of speech and hear some good imported talker on some subject of common interest?
Why doesn't some faculty member get out a bunch of invitations and assemble the faculty members at so much per? He could get in a speaker on some topic of general interest, and after breakfast, or other eats, has been consumed open a general discussion with the man as leader. The professors could enjoy all freedom of speech they wished in the discussions. They could chat, laugh, and get really acquainted.
This suggestion may be entirely out of order, but we cannot see why it could not be carried out.
THE COAT HOOKS ARE COMING
For the first time in the history of the regular Daily Kansan, a paid "Booo" ad was accepted and printed. It will be found on page 3, column 3 of yesterday's paper.
The coat hooks are coming for the Administration Building. Hooray.
The frame for the hooks is up now,
and we shall soon have a place to hang our overcocks, even if we do have to go to Floor Number Two for it.

GOOD NIGHT.
Ed. A. Goewey in Leslie's
They gazed upon his manly form.
Broad-shouldered, with the firm his set jaw,
the medals on his breast.
But admiration turned to mirth.
For 'bove his mighty fish!
We waved his eyelashes; they saw
witched strained to his wrist.
The teams changed places for their practice. The Aggies ran down past her, each and every one giving her a smiling glance of recognition. She asked an equally her, though she did acknowledge her school's tribute to her.
THE WAIL OF THE LOST GRADE
The last man to pass was a little, insignificant-looking man—in every way the least-heroic looking of the team. Her eyes danced, the pink hat bobbed excitedly, she leaned forward, and looked low. The man wheeled suddenly.
"Hello, Betty." he cried joyfully.
"Sure glad I finally found you.
Strikr. Ow, Hinds of Winter!
Till all thy heart's content;
Litchi thy heart's quarrel;
With death its only rent.
Wail for this heart that is weary,
And my request that is quiet.
And me face with a touch of pity
Lay me down with the powerful dead
words "you ask"
or me deadly deed it is,
"for me to cram my head off
Central Kansas Item: "Tom Durham, our blacksmith is kept busy shouting horses. One would naturally wash garments that were washed in white washing green apples."
Hush a dreadful deed it is.
For me to cram my foot head off
And then to flunk the quiz.
—L. D. HARTLEY
Out in Goff there is an ordinance providing for shoveling the snow off the walks at a reasonable time after each snow. Lawrence might take notice. They don't even have a business college at Goff, either.
When in doubt blame the enrolling system.
All the people dead who wrote it;
All the people dead who spoke it;
All the people die who learn it;
Blessed death, blessed life.
"Orange and Black."
One of our local songsters says the most distressing thing imaginable is when a singer realizes she's losing her voice. Strikes us it's more distressing when she doesn't realize it.—University Oklahoma.
Mexico might get a few pointers from a K. U. enrollment.
The following local appeared in the Minneapolis Messenger last week: "Miss Frana Jones went to Bennington Friday evening and went up home roads are terrific, drifted in certain localities."
She looked with disinterested eyes at the good-looking men of the hometeam. Not even when they threw her to the ground, not even near her very eyes did she show any excitement. The Pink Hat craned forward, looked past the K. U. team to the door. Then Manhattan came over and sat in her chair getting herself, and gave a wild cheer.
"The Last Loof," is the name of a comedy to be given by the students of the Ada High School Friday night for the benefit of the library. One would think the proceeds would be used to the domestic science department.

In reviewing the life of a man who had recently passed away, the Minneapolis Better Way says: "He married a woman this union five children were born, three of which preceded their 'father.'"
When you sit out on a dance "tate-ate" with a girl who has promised to be your sister.—Ohio State Lantern.
Pandora's Box
Hades Personified
Getting questioned on that part which you were so sure "he wouldn't ask for" and you didn't study—Ohio State Lantern.
"Gee, that girl's loyal," declared a K. U. man who had been watching the Pink Hat. "She hasn't any eyes for any one except the Aggies. Wish she'd look at me, he has her face, he has caught her eye, and has received nothing in return but a stony stare he began to wonder what was the matter.
In a wedding writeup, the Sedgwick Pantagraph remarks that the bride has grown up where she lives. Just how could all that be?

That was all, but the very much interested K. U. man ceased his efforts to flirt with the loyal Aggie girl. All through the game her eyes never left him. When, at the end, how dusty, and worn-out, he her a height as poured, as she passed her, he still looked as if she thought him a hero.
"Ian't he fine?" he whispered enthusiastically to the little girl beside her. "He won the game for us, didn't he?"
