Phone, Bell K. U. 25 Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas,
Entered as second-class mail master September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Karen aims to picture the undergraduate going for further than merely printing the news and to play more joyous roles; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be helpful; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the university as its ability the students of the University.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND IT?
Knowledge of the benefits of the mill tax, and other information about it will be given the students at a special convocation Thursday morning. Every student who wants to help the campaign will attend, and acquire information that is essential to an intelligent discussion of the tax. Really effective work can be done during the holidays, but the students must know whereof they speak. Thursday they may learn.
THE COUNCIL'S DUTY
The purpose of the Student Council shall be to draw men of the University into a closer relationship, to promote a closer union between the schools. . . . to further the plan of the ultimate formation of a Students' Union and the building of a clubhouse. . . .
A COASTING ACCIDENT
Shouting for the sheer joy of life, down the Hill they coasted at break-neck speed. Again and again they came down the long incline, and trudged back up. Other parties came. Crowds gathered to watch the sport.
A crash, a scream, then silence. A little knot of students slowly makes its way toward a house, bearing the frightfully injured body of their comrade.
A doctor comes, and enters. In a moment he comes out and shakes his head to the crowd that has gathered. A moan runs through the crowd. Silent, with heads bowed, they leave. Their comrade is dead.
They had obeyed the law, these coasters. They had waited till the hour prescribed in the ordinance. They had stationed guards at every crossing. They had taken every precaution they could think of. But not all the laws in the world, not all the forethought, not all the care, could insure a strong hand and a cool head at the steering gear, a track free from stones, an intrusion of the unforeseen. Coasting is not, and never can be, absolutely safe. This being so, should it be allowed under any conditions? Is not one life worth the sacrifice of a little pleasure?
WISCONSIN'S UNION
The Student Union is threatened with failure because of poor support from the 1617 men who should be behind it, and pushing strong. Instead we have a pitifully weak showing from the men, with $218 paid in this fall, and something like $320 due in pledges.
In direct contrast to this the University of Wisconsin maintains a Union with practically every man doing his share in maintaining it. Although organized as late as 1907, the Union really fits a place in the activities of the University.
The Union gives several smokers, and a freshman mixer during the year. It leases a wire and gives football returns to all the outside games of any prominence. The
Union Vaudeville given in the gymnasium is one of the big events of the season, and provides a lucrative source of revenue. A series of dances are given at cost, and these are well attended. The purpose of the Wisconsin Union is to provide for and look after the welfare of all male students of the University, and to bring into closer contact the male students of the various colleges of the University.
The Union at Wisconsin does things, it has the whole hearted support of the student body, and fills a niche in the social activities of the institution. There is no need of Kansas falling behind in as important and beneficial a movement as the Student Union. Buckle down, and do your share, fellows.
How the Point System Affects College Women
The Women's Student Government Association is busily studying the point systems of various universities with a view to adopting one that will suit conditions here. Such a system is designed to distribute participation in college activities. In college, a few girls from carrying off all the honors—or doing all the work, whichever way you wish to put it—and at the same time to bring out the latent abilities of others. Suppose Miss Smith has carried through some bit of work successfully, it is so easy to ask her to take up the next task, merely because she has accomplished this outward goal. She could prove just as capable as Miss Smith if they were only given a chance.
Under the Point System, each girl is limited to a certain number of points for each year; and the different offices count for various numbers of points, according to their responsibility and the time required. The following schedule, for example, is acted at the University of Minnesota.
Total number of points which may be held:
Senior ... 30
Junior ... 30
Sophomore ... 20
Freshman ... 10
Those having merely a pass grade may take not more than 5 less than the allowed number of points. Those below a pass grade may take not more than 10 less than the allowed number of points.
