SEE THE MAN AT THE UNION Six hundred and seventy-three men in the University signed a promise to pay their Union dues on or before March 1. Two hundred and twelve dollars have been paid in to the committee chairman. Today is March 16. Since the big news of Friday there is no telling what may happen next at the University. PREPARE FOR ANYTHING The Student Council may throw its meetings open to the public; the faculty in the College may allow juniors and seniors more freedom to pursue their major work; certain professors may quit their chronic habit of holding classes five minutes after the whistle blows; the librarians may become brave enough to call down instructors as well as students for talking in the library; the Board of Administration may place a street light by the cement steps at the library cut-off, the custom of giving seniors final quizzes for the last half-year may be dropped; the mud between the Daily Kansan office and the world at large may be bridged by a real cement walk; the mill tax may pass; class memorials may become a reality; the city council may pass and enforce a real no-coasting ordinance; College Day may not flunk out next year; we may get our Union; the Student Council may see to it that bulletin boards are put up on the campus at convenient places; chapel may become popular; University dramatics may return to its proper sphere; Lawrence people may throw open their homes to the visiting high school athletes; the Union pledges may all be paid without the necessity of a personal canvas; Varsity baseball material may be discovered in the boarding house league; honor sentiment among students may improve so rapidly that all talk of an honor system will die out; freshman law students may be given courses which they will need after graduation; the Medics may get a building of their own; we may have another ever-victorious football team; the "squirrel" printers may be discovered; and the Daily Kansan may please everybody some day. Nothing is impossible now. Four hundred new chairs were received Friday by Superintendent Crocker and some of them possibly will be used to replace the backbreakers which have been in Fraser Hall since 1873. All hail—four hundred new chairs! BASKETBALL To say that the students were more than satisfied with the record made by the basketball team this year would be uselessly repeating a fact which all the fans know to be true. And the team next year, with the same coach and with Stuffy Dunnmire ably succeeding Lefty Sproull as captain, will be mighty apt to equal the recent record—or make a better one. Kansas University students will celebrate "Uncle Jimmy" Green day at Lawrence, April 6. "Uncle Jimmy runs close race for prestige at K. U. with Chancellor Frank Strong who is probably the best obeyed head of any college and the most admired one in the United States. A FRIEND OF THE BOYS However between Uncle Jimmy Green and the boys there is a different kind of feeling. This old gentleman has been dean of the law school at K.U. so long that he is as much of a fixture as the buildings themselves. Uncle Jimmy Green is beloved by many a lawyer senator and representative, whom I admire and improve a mute Blackstone. Not only a mate be a great legal light he is what can be termed a "mixer." When K.U. boys in their college pranks are captured by the grabenet of the law, Uncle Jimmy is in court bright and early to fight for "his boys." He always wins his cases too. Then he takes the young men in hand ensures them for their pranks the same time they narrate the narration as much as the boys did the pranks. He is a great sport, encouraging all manner of athletic stunts. Many a football game has been won through Uncle Jimmy's loyalty and enthusiasm. The old gray hairied warrior, when he offers up a plea to the team to win, puts determination in them to do so. Uncle Jimmy stands strong with his thousands of Kansas boys because of hisfulness over them when they were at school and to him they are all "his boys" and he would protect them to the last inch if they told him that they once yelled with him, "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K.U." - Arkansas City Traveler. ENDS AND ODDLETS With the many laws in force which make games of chance illegal, one wonders how a common stude escapes when he takes a quiz. "Find a Hobby" the Slogan Now Prevalent Among Women, "Ohio Wesleyan Transcript. We suggest "o" in "hobby" be replaced by "u". Professors shouldn't grumble at poor lessons. What if the earth, like Saturn, have eleven moons? "Evers Receives a Check for $25,000." is a headline of the past week. And the Henry Clay of this age are right behind him. He might rather be than be a ball player--almost. COMPLEXIFIED SPELLING The Ottawa university in Ottawah, Kan., raised $9,380 among the students and faculty to go toward the building of a new gymnasium.—Montana Weekly Exponent. Missouri has established a course in butchering. If it's as easy to butcher animals as it is to butcher grades M. U. won't have to look far for instructors. The Drake Delphic dishes up: "Philo Program, An Unexpected Treat...Miss Clara Northup." Stude; A specimen of the University collection that exists for the purpose of study. Often spelled "stewed" and applied to prunes, or tomatoes to the warp." How can 'till morning' be feeling, that has been brewed into a person. An electric fan has been installed in the office of the Daily Kansan. The fan is kept running day and night on the theory that it will increase the circulation. Street Union; A house at 1200 Tennessee street now filled with student life and enthusiasm. A good thing to have around. K. U. DICTIONARY Snaaps; Prevailing idea of a broad screening. Slaap is not carried carried or brain is not over taxed. Soccer; The game "that might have been." "S." Study; A stude's handicap. Stunt; Supposed to be entertaining, usually a farce. Sneaking! Kelsey McManus Senior; An intimation of knowl- edge. Sophomore; "I am beginning to think that the University can not get along with out me". By WILLIAM HERBERT CARRILL, 'So Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the Uni- tary University', *The Times*. PEACE ON. EARTH, GOOD WILL TO WOMEN WITH K. U. POETS "Tis nearly nineteen hundred years Since the Judan shepherd hears Priestly prayer in the garden The one supreme, long-needed word, Needs as sadly now as then "Peace and good will on earth to men" Alas caught no chord that hymn in of peace on earth, good will to women. Downthe stern centuries since that the angel prophecy has thrilled. Age echoing through the upper air; On earth it still is unfulfilled. Men hear the song, strife does not Never will come the age of peace Until the carol with new vim in Brings peace on earth, good will to ings peace on earth, good will to women. CAMPUS OPINION (Anonymous communications will not be published in this column, although the name of the writer will be withheld if desired. Contributions should be in the hands of the editor by six o'clock on the day before publication. A communication box has been placed in Fraser Hall near the Home telephone booth for the convenience of contributors.) PRINTING THE NEWS To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: As some of us view it, this agitation against the editor of the Kansan is due to the fact that (1) The Kansan advocated the enforcement of a law forbidding the defacement of streets by tacking blacards on telephone poles; (2) The printing of the news that warrants had been issued charging the Student Council with violating this ordinance. Q. E. D. The case against the Daily Kansan seems to be that (1) it supported law enforcement and (2) gave its readers the news. Does Mr. Holloway want his student paper to wink at the infraction of law? And to suppress the news? Subscriber LESS TRASH ON CAMPUS To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: Since we have succeeded in cleaning up Adams street, it seems to me that it would be very well to enforce a ruling in regard to distributing hand bills on the campus. This practice has been going on for some time, and so long as it was applied strictly to activities of the student body at large, nothing was said about it; but one thing leads on to another. What will we come to next? Advertising a "Junior Dance" by scattering at a thousand handbills out in front of the gymnasium last week. In this particular instance there was no harm done, as there was no wind and the janitor picked them up the first thing next morning. This not only makes the campus look bad but it leads to a sense of earlessness on the students about scattering trash about the campus and city. Thinking that I am expressing student sentiment I'll watch for results. If you wish to advertise, do it through the Daily Kansan or on bulletin boards such as the Kansan advocated last week. ASKS FOR INFORMATION Ray Edwards. To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: Some discussion has been aroused by your recent editorial, entitled, "We Nominate Webster," in which this statement was made: "As to choosing editors by general or as well as various others, has already had Its day at the University." Will you kindly print for the benefit of your subscribers a brief survey of the trial of the general election plan, and the "various others." Another question: The editor of the Jayhawk is chosen by general election; it is not. Daily Mail is not. If the one can be elected, why not the other? Your question in regard to early newspaper history at K. U. was referred to Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the department of English, who is probably better informed on this subject than any other man at the University. His reply appears on page 3 of this issue. Since each Jayhawker Board issues only one publication it would seem impossible to place the selec- tion on a competitive or a merit basis. A Student. She--Do you believe in long engagements?
