The Men's Student Council will make a campaign for a permanent Union next year. The W. S. G. A. will try to obtain funds for a Woman's Union next year. Who said the students at the University were lacking in an ability to go after what they want? And incidentally such a combined effort toward a definite purpose will do almost as much toward uniting student sentiment as the buildings themselves after they are obtained. COMMENDABLE PLANS Every student treasurer will welcome the advent of the new bookkeeping plans for next year proposed by Secretary Lardner. With standard blanks and suggestions from a competent accountant there should be no difficulty over the audit next spring. The chief trouble with the yearly inspection under Secretary Brown in years past is the fact that the accounts were not kept according to any standard and they were in more or less of an unorganized condition when the time came for the annual inspection. In the meantime Mr. Lardner could well afford to audit the organization accounts which have not yet been sent in this year. DROP IT. Those persons who threw pop bottles at Bishop, captain of the Kansas baseball team, Friday when he refused to let another player run bases for Taylor are poor sportmen, one representative of the Missouri spirit. Missouri is noted for and takes pride in her courtesy to visitors. There is no rule in baseball which says a team should allow its opponents to make such a substitution, and Bishop, who was working under his coach's orders, had a perfect right to make Taylor run his own bases. Be sure there would be and have been much danger to Kansas in letting a man down that Kadau not crippled run for Brown was not hitting the ball or playing up to her opponent's standard but it was nobody's business but Kansas'. The Missouri bleachers were naturally indignant, for their idea of sportmanship is to extend such courses to the other team. But there was absolutely no excuse for the persons who threw pop bottles and shouted insults at Bishop. Their action reflects on the whole school. This editorial from the University Missouriian was sent to the Daily Kansan last week with the request that it be reprinted. From what the Daily Kansan can learn, the incidents referred to were regretable from every angle. Although the Kansas coach had reasons for believing that, under the circumstances, a substitute for Taylor should not have been sent into the game, it will do little good to discuss the merits of the case at this late date. After the pop bottle throwing incident and the publication by a Columbia paper—not the Missouri—of a two-column misrepresentation of the Kansas athletic policy, the Daily Kansan has been besieged with tales of alleged misconduct on the part of Missouri teams and rooters. Some of these stories may be true—we doubt most of them—certainly no good is accomplished by publishing such wild tales. We are glad to be assured by the Missouriian that the Tigers do not approve of poor sportsmanship and the Tigers can feel certain that they will have no chance to find fault with their reception in Lawrence next fall. Kansans are no less gentlemen than Missourians. Breaches of good conduct are exceptional, not habitual, in either case. FINAL EXAMINATIONS In a recent article in School Science and Mathematics, Mrs. Jane Pollock Anderson asks the question, "What to be gained by the traditional school or college examination?" Her answer is to the effect that it should die out "with other useless antiquities." She asserts that the final examination system encourages working for marks; cramming, which gives temporary knowledge, not power; use of translations and employment of dishonesty of all kinds; injustice through murder decided by a fraction of a pay cut, etc. The only way to determine the true value of the student's work is to give the mark from day to day, taking into consideration, not the mere facts as set down upon a final examination paper, but the mind back of every answer Doubless Mrs Anderson could find a great many people in full sympathy with her theory, which is an excellent one provided every student were eager to learn and fearful of missing the least detail of each day's lesson. This unfortunately is not the case. It is even probable that there are a number of thoughtless beings who would never open a book, were it not for the fearsome shadow of the final examinations, those relentless knowledge who demand the absorption of a certain amount of knowledge As long as there are large classes, as long as there is a willingness to just "get by," must the final examination remain Under the new honor system, however, whereby the instructor will have an opportunity of observing closely the development of a limited number of earnest students, a means of obviating the mechanical final test may be substituted by a more personal, and thereby a more fair and comprehensive judgment. ENDS AND ODDLETS The St. Louis Republic speaks of Prof. William Herbert Carruth as having gone to New York and degenerated into a magazine editor. This will be news to all of us who imagined that he had gone to Leand Stanford to teach English. Judging from the present status of the K. C. Blues, Bill Armour ought to import K. U.'s team from Bishop to water boy. Unless there have been some time-saving reforms made, we suggest that enrollment for the fall term start immediately.

"When I'm home I don't care much for strawberries, they're so common." "Professor I enjoyed my work very much this term." "It doesn't do one any good to cram." (Compiled by the Daily Kansan's official collector of worthless facts.) Gas was first collected in 179. Its first application was an illuminating medium, was made by Mr. Murdoch, in Cornwall, England, in 1792. Sir H. Sidney, before a committee of the House of Commons, declared it was not correct, and that it in the United States it was introduced in 1822, at Boston. There is plenty on Mt. Oread. Grist Mills were invented in Ireland in 214. DICTIONARY OF DATES Gilding, with gold leaf, was invented in 1273. Guns were invented in 1330; used by the Mors at the seige of Algeiras, in Spain, in 1344; at the battle of Grecy in 1346, and at the seige of Calais in the year following. The early English guns were first made of brass in 1358; in 1547 they were made of iron. Bombs and mortars were invented in 1543. Guns are found at the University, usually in the department of chemistry. WITH K. U. POETS The sun has half his northward joins, and done. and in deep-buried roots moves the Spirit. By Kate Stephens, '75 SPRING IN KANSAS Make glad, make glad, The land of graziness has come. Upon its last year-end, Fire of last year's husks the farm how the dark-carthed field Sacrifice to the lord of growth; Smoke risees to the bluer heavens. While haggle and solemn crow cut with snape the sparkling air. White hatch and soleen cross air with long wing the sparkling air long song the sparklefish: And little birds do sing 'Rejoice! Rejoice! the springing life is here!' For the sun, O brothers, shines upon our land. long hang the sparkling air! And little birds do sing 'Rejoice! And winds. O sisters, blow over all our land! our land: and wande: O sisters blow over all our land Mounting so high brightens trunk of tree And every topmost tree swells out its leaf-buds The peach puts forth her bitter-tinted pink. Red-bod emuplurps far each wooded stretch. And wheat, O. sisters, greens in our village aloe. And, by the magic of the lord of spring. Stand orchards, very aphids of tomato, snout, white-capped in blossom. Iud corn, O brothers, springs from its golden seed! For校同-商局與 tand-結學 for校同-商局與 tand-結學 For校同-商局與 tand-結學 Three buildings of woods with the Spirit go forth hand in hand. The sun has near his northward journey run. And in deep-buried roots moves Life lifelong. Make glad, make glad. CAMPUS OPINION The lord of growth has come WANTS TO SEE INSIDE To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: With all the humility and meekness becoming to a mere co-ed, I would like to ask the promoters of the Men's Student Union when the welcome promises that we see so many are to be fulfilled. I refer to the promise that the girls were to be admitted once in a while. Not that we desire to invade that "Open to Men only" sanctum out of more curiosity or from a delight in disturbing the peace that undoubtedly hovers within its sacred portals. Shades of Fusear-hating Engineer! Since plans are under way for a women's Student Union, one of the best ways to arouse the proper enenthusiasm is for the girls to see the advantages of a Union; and the only way in which that can be accomplished is for the Men's Union to throw open its doors, sweep the dust behind the sofa for one grand reception for the women.
