Entered as second-class mail mat-ter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the department of Journalism.
Phone, Bell K. U. 25 Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas.
The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate further than merely printing the news by standing with students and no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be hardiness; to be problem solvers; to be able to suffer in all, to agree to the ability of the students at University.

UNIFORM ACCOUNTING
Sixteen organizations out of a possible fifty or sixty are all that have checked out or the uniform account books offered free by the state through Registrar Foster. An intelligent audit of student accounts will be impossible again this year.
Other University organizations should be compelled to adopt the system. It was provided at a big expense, and is unquestionably desirable.
A part of the constitution of the Men's Student Council says that it shall assist the University authorities in handling student accounts. It is the Council's duty to see that the system is generally used.
CHEER UP
One might think from the multitude of long faces seen about Mount Oread today that the millennium was just about due, or that something equally terrible was scheduled to happen.
And we have the word of Dr. Alice Goetz that no one will injure his health by cramming.
LET THE PEOPLE SAY
Why worry? It's just quiz week. A few profs will give a little mealy examinations—and there's a vacation in sight at the end.
The advantages to be derived from a permanent income are numerous. One of these is that it will relieve the legislature of the task of making appropriations in an already overcrowded biennial session.
The legislature can have no good grounds for refusing to grant the appeal of the state educational institutions to let the people of the state say whether or not they wint the mill tax. The measure is unquestionably a good one, and should be made a law.
THE POINT SYSTEM
Suppose, in the new Point System thirty points shall be allowed a junior. Suppose your place on the second cabinet of the Y. W. counts fifteen, on the standing committee of the Botany Club, five; your office in your sorority, or as representative on the Council, ten; your membership in the Glee Club, ten—making in all forty points—what are you going to do about it?
If you have any questions or suggestions, speak to some member of the W. S. G. A. and attend the mass meeting to be called after quiz week.
RECUPERATION
Organ recitals held in a darkened auditorium are a regular feature of quiz week at Smith College for girls in Northhampton, Massachusetts. The students, weared from their arduous labors of cramming, attend the recitals in large numbers. They are ushered silently into the huge, dark room, the organ plays soothing melodies, and a short time later, the students emerge with quiet nerves and rested feelings. The value of
the recitals is immense.
The music department of the University might consider such an innovation during quiz week. Even if Kansas students don't cram for their exams, the stunt would meet with great favor. Darkened rooms, yknow, would make a great hit with the fussers.
A LAW LABORATORY
How many University students know that over in the basement of Green Hall there is a real, life sized court room in which the laws conduct "trials" nearly every afternoon of the week? Fitted up with a real judge's bench, jury box, seats and tables for the opposing "attorneys in the case," and with seats for spectators, the court room occupies an important place in the campus law student, except the juniors, is required to come twice a week and take part in a mock trial, with "Judge" R. F. Rice presiding.
The lower classes furnish "witnesses" from among their number, but the seniors have disinterested witnesses who secure their knowledge of the cases formerly tried in real courts. They are instructed to tell only what is asked of them by the "lawyers." Under these conditions the case proceeds, marked by occasional interruptions on the part of the "Judge" who has written a complaint, some technical point or answer some student's question. The Trial court is the "laboratory" in the School of Law.
ABOUT CUTTING APPROPRIA-
TION
Here is a notice to the legislators,
"Kansas expects every man to do his duty."
That duty will be to care for appropriations.-Clay Center Times.
Not necessarily. The first duty of the legislature is to make whatever appropriations are necessary to defray the expense of the government of Kansas, not forgetting that it is a young state and it has more expenses every year than it had the year before. It isn't the size of the appropriations that determines their wisdom. The legislature could cut in half the appropriations for the state educational institutions and in that way reduce expenses. If it would be the worst possible economy. It could refuse appropriations for the necessary expansion of these institutions and save money; but it would fall short of its duty to the state if it should do it. It is the duty of the legislature of Kansas of unnecessary appropriations; and if it finds that the preceding legislature has done that then to the extent of correcting former evils it should "cut down appropriations." But the legislator who goes Topeka next month with the fixed idea in his mind that appropriations must be cut below those of the current bennium, is likely to hurt the state a great deal more than to help it.
The truth, is, as everybody who pays taxes and stops to analyze them knows, the levy required to meet the appropriations made by the legislature is a very small part of the total. The difference between adequate and inadequate appropriations for state purposes could never be detected by the average tax payer from a study of his own tax receipt. And what shall it profit Kansas if a legislature, obsessed by the idea that it must cut appropriations, cripple other state activities, and yet does not reduce taxes enough for anybody short of a millionaire to feel it? -ola Register

THE NEW RULES FOR MAJOR COURSES
All Students Should Read This
The new major system, passed last spring, will go into effect this semester. Dean Olin Templin requests all juniors and seminars to submit the required major course reports for the Dean's office and the head of the major department. Following are the rules governing major courses, with the new
Junior-Senior Requirements. The work of the junior and senior years must include a minimum of sixty hours, chosen from the courses offered by the various departments, but not more than twenty hours.
may be in courses open to either freshmen or sophomores. Meet us!
Before graduation the student must complete a major course of not less than twenty hours nor more than forty hours in one department and not less than thirty nor more than sixty hours in the group including the major department. In some cases the student work in satisfaction of the department major requirements must be in courses not open to freshmen or sophomores. During the last month of his sophomore year each student must file with the Dean notice of the department in which he applies for the privilege of selecting his major, giving his choice for the department. The Dean will notify the department concerned of his approval of such application and the student will confer with the department with reference to the work of his junior and senior years. Any department is authorized to outline in the catalogue one or more departmental majors, possibly a sistine or pre-determined work, of suggested work, or of both, but in no case shall the prescribed work total more than twenty-five hours. A department may, however, in any individual case, outline a special major if it finds that the general majors do not meet the particular needs of the student. Any course in the department where the student been conducted, the student term before enrollment in classes secure the approval of his departmental major work by the major department. (These new requirements shall not go into effect for next year's seniors of the year 1914-15, but the seniors shall be required to go to the departmental advisers for advice.) The placement of a graduate in departmental care may be withdrawn for cause by the department faculty or the Dean.
A change of department in which a student selects his major may be made at any time during his junior year, but application for such change must be approved by the dean and the department to which the change is made.
Free Electives. The work required for graduation not included in the major course is to be chosen subject to the restrictions that not more than twenty-five hours may be in any department, and not more than one in any group other than the one in which the major course is elected.
Some folks get the idea that life beats at commencement time, when the seniors pack up their slide rules and their law books and go out to get a job in government. They will eventually be given enough laid up to start at their own trade. If commencement time is really the commencement of life for any man, that man has failed in the race at the crack of the pistol. The university man lives in an exhilarating, charged sense, as few other types of men live. His opportunities to do anything have been combined both his mental and moral fiber are unequaled outside of university influence. The main show is going on right now. You don't have to wait. Begin living now—Texan. The University of Wisconsin has the largest Student Council of any college in the country. Its fifty-two members have the best organization for student government. We work under the direct supervision of the council. Its direct purpose is to bring into closer contact the male students of the University and to look after and provide for their general welfare. The purpose is mainly a social one, the Union fostering most of the good

"Everywoman," the dramatic spectacle has been played in five foreign countries and will be offered by Henry W. Savage with one of the most powerful companies of actors and singers which he has ever sent on tour at the Bowersock, Wednesday night. The audience there is not only spectacle, music and drama, but a suggestion of the ancient form of morality known as the morality play. That form was eloquently made known on the American stage a few years ago when Ben Greet and a company of English artists, among them Wynne Matthews, presented "Eyvine" (1948), "Everywoman" Walter Brown, a New York newspaper man, founded "Everywoman."
The production is an enormous one and includes a dramatic ensemble of one hundred and fifty people. A movie called *Icarus* is carried by the organization.--Adv.
In the 20th Century ordering of the moralist's pageant, its central figure. Everywoman, young and beautiful, sets out from her home inQUEST for danger, but she gives no heed and, inflamed by the representations of Flattery, with Youth, Beauty and Modesty as companions, she begins her pilgrimage which is told in five acts. She adopts the stage, mounts to stardom, begins the performance, men, goes a wild pace, and ultimately pays the toll in the loss of the attributes she holds most dear. She is deserted by Modesty on the stage of the theatre; at a midnight orgy Beauty dies; and finally she leaves Broadway, New York, Youth leaves her. Poverty and misery assail her, but Truth comes timely to her salvation and guides her back to the deserted home of her earlier days where, humble and contrite, she loves the love of Love who heart her heart health warm for her during her absence.
