Time is money. Welcome is that visitor who appreciates the value of another's time.-Anon.
WELCOME, DEAN OF WOMEN The selection of Mrs. Eustace Brown as the new Dean of Women meets with general and hearty approval at the University, which extends to her greetings fitting a new and very important addition to the faculty and student body.
One by one the round of difficulties that make up your year's routine at a great University rise and are met, and the advent of a Dean of Women should be the signal for ending many more.
In all, the Dean of Women is very welcome.
The new advisor finds an eager and expectant body of women students awaiting her, ready to get acquainted and to help develop more fully the woman's part in our University. With social rules in disorder, the new Dean is also the logical person to suggest the best solution to such difficulties as the week-night date rule and dancing.
Kansas Aggies will commence training in the spring, announces a news item. That's when farmers usually start.
WELL DONE, TOPEKA GRADS
Good for the Topeka alumni, the old grads who ended the unfortunate insulator incident!
it is such interest and immediate action as this that makes the faculty of the University go home at night feeling that turning out graduates is worth while, after all. It is just such loyalty and work that will finally put the University on a sound basis with a mill tax and other much needed assistance.
ALL WITH YOU. "DUTCH"
"Eighty-six Attend Chapel and Sing One Song," we are told. Must have been one of those harmony meetings we hear so much about.
Followers of football (and that means the entire University, down to and including even the jantrons) will be watching and pulling for the most rapid and favorable results possible from the operation which Dutch Detwiler, football captain-elect, must undergo soon in order to lead his team next fall.
If mental treatment will help
Dutch won't be laid up very long.
ON TO A UNION
Get a Student Union! Start some plan, then watch it grow! This is the attitude of the Student Council,
and undoubtedly there is much the same sentiment among a large majority of the students. Make a modest beginning, but be sure of a start.
The University of Kansas needs this sort of a Union. The men students especially want it. Once at least the University has almost had one; but there was a slip. A start now—a modest start—and the Union will make a healthy and steady development.
Radium supply of the United States going to Europe."—Newspaper headline.
Look out for another rise in the cost of living for the University student.
LIVE, PROGRESSIVE JUNIORS The impetus given the Student Union movement at the junior mixer in Robinson Gymnasium Wednesday night brought another example of the active part taken by this body of young men and women in University activity.
To this class is due the revival of interest in memorials, which after years of agitation appears full of promise. The stand taken by the junior class just at this time on an ideal of interest to every student is a highly commendable one.
"FINE BUSINESS"
The agreement of a number of Lawrence pantatoriums to put up bonds is "dime business" all around.
Henceforth students will need fear no midnight flights by irresponsible seekers-of-student-money.
Henceforth the pantatoriums will rest free from an odium attached to their businesses by the misdeeds of unscrupulous members of that ancient and honored profession.
To students in general the bonding represents an accomplishment on the part of the Student Council truly worthy of a body chosen to represent 2400 students of the University.
RENEW VESPERS
Why cannot the weekly vesper services of the University be renewed? They have been tried and found successful in years past; why not revive them?
Some institutions, for example, Iowa State University, have no regular cnapel services, relying largely upon vesper services to perform the function of the student convocation.
While there is some question as to the advisability of letting vespers supplant chapel here, vesper services in themselves are much worth while. Let's have them again.
K. U. DICTIONARY
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
The subject of dancing in University circles has this year received more than a necessary share of publicity and this has largely arisen from the fact that no uniform system of control of dancing has been devised. As an example, students at college and those who were inclined to go the limit did so, thus leading other students to follow their examples and developing a spirit of contempt for authority, the latter one of the lessons a university should teach.
CAMPUS OPINION
Grind (see midnight oil); one who rubs or presses hard against a student table most of his time; opposite, good fellow; one who gets a better grade than yourself; a person of leisure during the evening; or all of quirkiness. One's which are singular); most important thing in Life university; closely related to "funk"; see Registrar Foster, Elib, Com., et al.
Geology; a sport including hikes, rock throwing and railroad detectives; study of the world inside out. Grafter; one who lives off the income of others; modern representatives, book agents, laundry men, pantilator solicitors and boarding house stewards; business prerequisites, a tongue on a pivot and an air of big business.

The writer has chaperoned several
A CHAPERON SPEAKS
University dances and in his mind there is no dance problem. All that is required is a uniform and rigid control. The students look for leadership in this matter rather than aVACillating policy. Names of dancing have been opposed rather than methods of contentment on the "Tango," but the ordinary waltz as danced by many students is far worse than any "Tango." Rulings should be made against how the students dance and not what they dance. Some of the new dances are extremely pretty and some are the opposite. The one called the "Full-palm" parade suited to bring out the most ungrateful features of extreme dancing.
The writer advocates the early adoption of a uniform system of rules governing methods of dancing, the reduction of the number of dances permitted to at least one half and complete censorship of these. This last is intended not for the main body of the students but for those few who do not know what proper behavior is.
BOOST CHAPEL AS IT IS Editor of the Daily Kansan:
A Chaperon.
Chapel at ten o'clock? Compulsory attendance? Credit for attendance? No. Disregarding personal conveniences. I see no reason why we should change from the present to that of 11 o'clock, twice a week share!
A comparison of our chapel exercises with those of other schools of Kansas having compulsory chapel attendance proves that we have by far the best system, speakers of larger experience, and no bitter taste in the mouth of those who do not appreciate the endeavors of the chapel committee. Those who understand, take advantage of, and can appreciate the value of chapels at Dr. Smith's Friday, do not require special induction in the way of credit to take the opportunity to attend chapel.
Accepting this to be true a change is unnecessary. Better chapel exercises are impossible, and the attendance remains with the students.

GALLERY GODS LACK SOME-
THING RESIDES MONEY?
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
While the great dance reform is on it it seems that there has been one very important feature overlooked that caused most of the so-called scandal. It is those "stags" who never spend a cent to dance but come down to Fraternal Aid just to loaf and comment on the people who are dancing.
Do you suppose that these same "stars" would be just as willing to pay a small admission fee to sit in a seat? Not Much. "It's Too Oxygeniff."
The writer wouldn't insinuate for a minute that our cheap but critical onlookers couldn't get a date if they tried or couldn't do a better job of dancing if they tried. Readers will kindly draw their own conclusions.
I have only missed three or four of the dances that have been given this year and without exception I have heard the girls express a "stage" in the melody. Of course it doesn't make any difference to the habitual "star" what the girls want, because if they did there would not be this prevalent gossip on the hill about the extremity of the dancing. Because as a promise that the girls are sense-as a reminder that cannot take care of themselves.
My remedy for this evil of the dances is to eliminate the "cheap skate" in the balcony by a nominal tax of twenty-five cents per head and the "great scandal" will be reduced to a minimum.
Will you please publish a list of the fraternities and sororities of Kansas University with their addresses?
A Dancer.
