Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate, or GS student, to go for longer than merely printing the news. The University holds, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser hearts and all, to serve students with all ability in the events of the University.

TAKE IN THE EXHIBIT
No sooner do we get enrolled and started to work again, with a lot of nice new books and a holiday in sight, than along comes—an art exhibition! We manage without much effort to do pretty well at attending concerts and recitals, but our appreciation of pictorial art, aside from that of the movies, is not all that it should be.
Nor is this to be wondered at, for while music is universal in its appeal and easily productive of pleasure in any normal human being, the love of pictures has usually to be fostered and cultivated. It is not a spontaneous growth, at least not to the same degree as is the love of music.
Now, the way to learn to like pictures is to see them. Every year the University imports a collection of good pictures, representative of the best work that is being done in this country today, and gives the student body free access to it. When the material at hand warrants it, pictures by students in the departments of drawing and painting are included in the exhibit. This year there are fifteen of these native products. They possess added interest in being the work of people we know and also as representing views familiar and dear to all of us.
In order that students may attend in considerable numbers, they are given free tickets at the Registrar's office. Town people must pay an admission fee, and the fact that many of them climb the Hill every year to see the pictures is sufficient evidence that they are worth a little of our time.
While no one person can possibly take in all the good things that are brought to the University every year, the art exhibit is one that none of us can afford to miss. Even those who imagine that they don't care at all for pictures are likely to be surprised at the amount of real enjoyment they may get from seeing this collection. If anyone doubts this statement, he is urged to try it and see.
ENROLLING FRESHMEN
A great many students are wondering about the efficiency of the present advisory and enrollment system. This feeling is especially prevalent among the underclassmen, since the juniors and seniors seem well taken care of by the present arrangement.
The juniors and seniors do not need the advisory system as much as the underclassmen. They are not fully acquainted with the rules and requirements of the University and the intricate and particular regulations of the group system. The freshmen and
sophomores should at least have for advisors some one of the faculty members of the department in which they intend to major. Could not such an arrangement be made?
Some of the situations that have arisen as a result of the present arrangement have been ludicrous to say the least. One freshman was enrolled in fifteen hours of work, ten of which she could not possibly take. Another advisor told a young woman that she could not enroll in physiology unless she was a Medical student. Another of the advisory corps that was marshalled in the Gymnasium this week, said that three hours was the most physiology one could take at one time. The instructors seem to have appalling ignorance of courses other than their own.
It is only just that freshmen and sophomores, who really need capable advising more than the upperclassmen, should at least have as good a system.
WON'T TELL PUBLIC
The K. C. alumni investigating committee will report to the Alumni Association of the city, and then, if it sees fit, will give its findings to the public.
In other words, the alumni thought something was the matter with the University. It raised a howl and put the school in a bad light before the people of the state and neighboring states. Then it would hold a trial for the accused institution. The faculty and students helped the committee in every way possible to learn the truth, for they thought that the matter would be cleaned up when the truth was known.
And now the truth is at least appropriated. But the committee may not give it out. It may not give the school that has been put on trial a chance to put itself back in the right light.
In effect the K. C. Alumni said to the public, "See that school up there everything. All wrong. No life blood. Going down hill. You never heard it before? Well, I'll go up and see for sure. You wait a moment. I'll be back." Then it went up, but the public is still waiting for it to tell what it saw.
The truth, whether reached by the K. C. alumni or otherwise, never hurt anything. If there is something the matter with K. U. the public should know it, and the school should know it that it may work out a remedy. If there is nothing the matter the fact should be published that the public and school may know the charges Its a fizzle. No life. Faculty controls made against K. U. were groundless.
A POST-MORTEM
Then as a post-mortem it might be pointed out that four Student Council members were at the Union Debt Dance with dates. These were J. W. Dyche, Dean Ackers, Vic Bottomly, and Harry Shinn. And two Councilmen, without dates, took in the money at the door. They were Russell Gean and Tom Horley. There are seven men on the Council.
LET'S HAVE EVERGREENS
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith is in favor of planting evergreens about the senior memorial bench. Why not? It would add to the beauty of the slope, and take away some of the square corners of the bench itself.
The representatives and senators are too busy to make a careful study of every bill presented. They must rely on information such as we can give. Explain the proposition to your legislator.
A great many of the legislators at Topeka do not understand the virtues of the mill tax resolution. It is up to the friends of the measure here and at the other state schools to inform them of its good features.
EXPLAIN THE MILL TAX
YES. ONE-LEGGED
“五elve hundred and eight feet twinkled” at the Union Debt dance. And “two hundred and eighty-four students took advantage” of the dance. You would think, would you, by a look over the campus, that we had sixty one-legged students?
THE MODERN NOTE IN GOSPEI MEETINGS.
When the subject of a series of religious meetings is presented, the minds of many people go back to some experiences in "revival or evangelistic" meetings, where the method was to work on the empire; the purpose was to foster a fear of future appeal or a hope of future reward. This appeal to many minds is both irrational and immoral. If the basis of character is unselfishness, not much progress can be expected from an appeal to the empire; if the purpose is to empower people who do not know the modern spirit of religious leaders whose appeal is entirely independent of all questions of reward or punishment, who are in perfect harmony with the spirit of modern thought and with who attained success, intelligence and character rather than to superstition and fear—I. S. C. Student.
STUDENT OPINION
To the Kansan:
Braving the probability of being called a knocker, I desire to register a protest against the method—lack of it—of enrolling in the College and one way of improving it. The school has evidently grown at a more rapid pace than the archaic plan hoped for, and it is now time, it seems to me, to devise a new one. Or is it baffled in this University on the grounds that he cannot make any changes except in regard to more rigorous discipline?
Much time was wasted Monday—three hours in my case—in a lot of needless red tape. Enough people were employed in the task to have done it expeditiously, as been put to work instead of to palicing. For some reason, however, which nobody seems able to explain, there is apparently only one person in the University who can do any one kind of work. Thus only one person is what enough credits to enter school; only enough credits to enter school; only one person has sufficient brains to accept fees from students eager to part with their money; only one person possesses the intelligence to copy grades from a book to a computer. Now, why should I assistants at school when they are needed and thus reduce the hours required to enroll and get one's grades
The method of seating students in the Gym during the half-day waiting could also be bettered. By ascertaining how many people can be accommodated on the enrolling by arranging them quietly waiting for people seating that number, the present serpentine shifting along the rows could be eliminated.
Let us be frank, admit that we have not reached perfection in the direction of enrollment, and inquire into better and more efficient methods.
Raymond I. Moore.
"Grades are being given out at Registrar George O. Foster's office," is a mighty matter-of-fact way of putting it, but it is hardly an adequate description of the proceedings to the north end of Fraser all day Tuesday.
I am one of those who cut classes to stand in line to learn my grades of last semester, and I have not yet found out what they are. It was a clock place at the center of the line, and I had gradually wormed my way to fourth from the front when the noon whistle blew. Immediately upon hearing that signal, the Registrar's assistant closed the Window and had attained that strategic position after two hours of perseverance, had stood and stood in vain.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Frankly, I am peeved. It seems to me that the business offices of the firm are focused on efficiency ideas which permeate the atmosphere, and try them out.
Chasing the Glooms
Certainly there could be no more primitive method than the one now employed. Too much is required for the work of thirty years ago. What we need is some concession to the ways of the modern world. Yours, from hours of futile standing.
