Subscription price $2.50 per year, advantage, one term, $1.50 The Daily Kamann aims to picture the undergraduate students of the University more clearly by printing the notes by standing (or the idea being) that they are to be clean; to be cheerful; to be curious; to be more serious problems to user heads; to increase their ability at students of the University. TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1914 Curses, like young chickens, come home to roost.-Southey. 1916 OR 1943? The permanent Union will be just as big an advantage for the students at the University two years from now as it will be for the next generation of Kansas young people. All that is necessary is a start. We are just as able to start work toward a real building as our brothers and sisters will be who plan to enroll ten years from next September. All that is necessary is a start. Suggestions from schools which have Unions, the selection of a site, an O. K. from the Board of Administration, actual work on the floor plans—here are some things which might be done yet this year. COME ON IN Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Friends. Students, Boarding House Leaguers! If your club is not entered in the Hash House League the names of your players should be sent to the Daily Kansan office before Thursday. Sixteen clubs are entered already. Help make it unanimous. Get in the swim. THE WHY OF A CHANGE We hope that the faculty committee which has charge of the proposed changes in the major system regulations and group requirements is having success evolving new rules which will be broader and fairer for each student in the College. The chief objection to the present conditions which one hears freely expressed at registration time are: (1) certain groups are too large. (2) upperclassmen are not allowed enough freedom in the intelligent pursuit of the major subject. (3) too few courses are open to underclassmen. (4) the "advisor" does not give the student, especially the junior or senior, the helpful suggestions which a professor in the student's major department might give. The fact that most of the criticism comes from the serious man or woman at the University tends to prove that a grievance against the present system is not visionary. ACCESSIBILITY The change proposed some time ago to the effect that the pulmotor be put in some location of easy access will soon be made, according to information from the authorities at the University. To place the life saver under the east steps of the gymnasium where it can be obtained at any time is the intention and the plan is certainly commendable—provided the pul- motor is for use and not for ornamentation. When a student or any resident of Lawrence is in need of a pulmotor, there is no time to hunt janitors and keys in order to obtain it. The machine should have been placed in a glass case on the campus when it was first purchased but it is never too late to reform. SMOKING AT WASHBURN Professor Kirkpatrick delivered a very pointed lecture on student smoking to the men and incidentally the girls of Waltham College last summer in chaps. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that he felt that smoking was wrong for Washburn men, stating six very convincing arguments against it. He feels that smoking is a moral question here, as it is not in many of the universities where it has been established tradition. The community conscience of Washburn is against it, it is a moral issue in Kansas. The traditions of Washburn are not such and never will be such unless the students violate all rules of authority. No student can be loyal to college and smoke either off or on the campus. It is not consistent and it is pot just. Economy is against smoking. Many of the young men of Washburn pay their own expenses. Those who don't, rarely have parents who approve of their habit and are willing to finance it. Efficiency is the biggest argument against smoking. We all know that the most active minds and bodies are those who smoke, flanked with the results of smoking. Courtesy to mankind does not permit smoking. Perhaps this is one of the most important results. Many smokers consider the comforts of others very little in the pursuit of their habit. Lastly the welfare of the college community demands that the boys These are the arguments that the instructors hope will prove to be a benefit to those who may have made a habit.
