The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students further than merely prince-ministers; she notes by standing for some of their favorite roles; to be clean; to be cheerful; to charm; to be smart; to solve serious problems to wiser heads; to all, in general, to be an ability at the University.

THE OUTGOING COUNCIL
The outgoing Student Council has had an unusual career. It began work with most excellent prospects when the Student Union plan in connection with Lee's new College Inn was pushed through last spring in less than a month. It made another good move early in the fall when the private "Varsity" parties were abolished; but the reputation of the Council slumped decidedly when the faculty refused to allow a freshman-cap-wearing rule to be passed in October.
Bonding the pantatoriums was a popular measure in February and a little later, preceded and assisted by a vigorous campaign in the Daily Kansan the greatest accomplishment of the recent Council—the temporary Union—was realized. Students generally favored the independent stand of the Council at the time of the new no-smoking rule when it refused to enforce any regulations which it had no part in making, although in regard to smoking, it administered a moderate rule of its own with energy.
The vassiliating position of the Council on the coach question followed by the Daily Kansan-Council difficulties was unfortunate from the governing organization's point of view. One big improvement resulted, however, a motion which made Council meetings open to the public. The bulletin board resolutions and the permanent Union committee reports were commendable merely as beginnings of better things to come.
After all, a Council should be judged by results and the body which recently went out of office has one monument to its credit—the temporary Union. If nothing else whatever had been accomplished the Union alone would have been worth all the time and work and trouble of the year.
AN EXCUSE NOT NECESSARY.
Although the biggest wheat crop on record is in prospect, students next September may expect a raise in boarding, because of the "increased cost of living."
YOUNG MEN AND SUCCESS
The fact that young men such as Lieut-Gov. O'Hara, of Illinois and Roy Howard of the United Press can hold responsible positions satisfactorily as an inspiration to the students who are attending the conference meetings. It is mighty unsatisfactory to think that success comes only with gray hairs and when the ambitious student sees
such examples as those mentioned,
he takes a hitch in his trousers and
goes to work with added vim.
TRUE COLLEGE DEMOCRACY
About the livestorm in college education at the present moment is the wide-spread effort achieve by many students to college it. May be protested that true democracy is a thing of the spirit and will not come overnight for the wistfulness. But all the signs point to the view that much more needs to occur than that present effort is but designed to give that spirit prompt and full expression.
A good analysis of the difficulties which beset democracy in our large eastern colleges was made recently by a young Harvard graduate. The problem, he said, was to amalgamate in some fashion three separate social classes—the complacent provincialists, the conscious provincialists, and the bitter provincialists. The first are the private school men at Harvard—the snobs in popular speech. The second are the middle school men of the middle classes. The third, often the most valuable and interesting men in college, are the men who have fought their way up and into college by sheer grit and intelligence.
Roughly, these three classes are in all our colleges, and the difficulty of presenting their remaining separate and hostile is always present. Each class is provincial, none more so because the young barbarians on the top, who hold themselves aloof from human beings whose clothes and manners and parcats are unlike their own. It is an admirable promise for the future that the present day would be a democracy and was ready to fight for its principles in his alma mater—New York Tribune.
PRESIDENT WILSON WAS A COACH
The undergraduate body of Wesleyan University is boasting an unique feature in its college year books issued today—a letter from an old professor and football coach who is now President of the United States. President Wilson was professor of history and political economy at Wesleyan between the years 1888 and 1890. One of his claims to fame in the field of the Wesleyan undergraduates is his record of having teamed the Wesleyan football team that scored on both sides in Yale in the fall of 1890. The President has never lost his interest in the college and this year's Olla Podrida, the historic Wesleyan year book, contains a long letter from the President in which he recalls some of his Wesleyan friends and wishes both the year book and the college all success in the coming year.—Boston Transcript.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
If the printer who set up those Viard posters had left the last two letters off the noted editor's name, a sure enough crowd would have gathered at Fraser Hall yesterday.
Last Sunday was the only Mothers' Day of the year but dad has his day once every month for the average student.
A New Jersey dog that went "mad" coughed up a toad. Still you can't blame the dog since more man touches a few fits before touching up.
No. Clarence the fact that Oswald Garrison, Villard is president of the Nation does not mean that he has anything to do with the government of the United States.

She held her sweet face up to him
And then remarked to-wit:
"Print on my lips, a kiss, dear Jim,
Do not do publish it."
JOURNALISTIC SPOONING
And said he'd had enough,
When she confessed she'd stopped
And after that without a doubt,
Jim took a strong position,
Insisting that they should get out.
An extra late edition.
But James stopped pressing pres ently.
But in another moment, Jim.
Unless we miss our guess,
He gathered her form close to him
And rushed right off to press.

Nay, it is better, *light* is not light alone;

CAMPUS OPINION
WANTS AN APOLOGY
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
It seems to me that the University or at least whoever was in charge of the affair Tuesday night at the F. A. A. Hall should offer Mr. Villard a public apology for the rude and prolonged abuse which left his break off his lecture until order could be had.
And also it would not be amiss for an apology to be made to the women who were present by the members of the Pan-Hellenic "Country" or "League" or whatever it was for their lack of breeding in beginning to smoke before the women were given an opportunity to leave.
It is not fair to the University for Mr. Villard to carry back to New York and the Kansas Editors to take to their home towns the idea that such rudeness is common among the student body as a whole.

MORE FRESH AIR
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
In the name of health, sanity and hygiene I wish to ask why our chapel doorkeeps can't be something more than ornamental posts at our doors when such a crowd as heard Dr. Gladden Tuesday morning fills chapel.
The ventilation of chapel that morning was nothing short of criminal. Both doors downstairs were kept closed; most of the time the south doors upstairs were closed not a single window on either side of the hall was open; and so far as I could tell conditions in the rear of the hall were little better.
Is that twentieth century hygiene? Doesn't anybody with a lick of sense know that lack of ventilation in such a room at night is as dangerous to public health as exposure to smallpox and other diseases.
Yours for a little ventilation. Senior.
