A GIFT FOR K. U.
Is your county club organized yet? If not, you are overlooking an opportunity to make the University a real Christmas gift in the way of uniting its alumni in your community and bringing home to them the vital interests of the University.
Considering the fact that the alumni will enjoy it as much as you, and that it will cost you nothing, why not make this notation in your Christmas gift book:
"For Mother K. U.:one K. U. banquet-reunion at home for the old grads and the present crop of undergraduates, any time during the Christmas holidays."
Why not a Student Council pan-tatorium?
If the county clubs keep on organizing we will soon have a great state of affairs.
THE RED SEAL
To many of us, of course, the task will not be an arduous one; nevertheless, all of us, if we try, can also contribute something toward remembering someone we don't know by purchasing "Red Cross Seals."
As the holiday season approaches the little spare time that can be taken from our studies is, doubtless, largely devoted to considering how far our small surpluses in excess of board and room may be expended in purchasing Christmas remembrances for friends and relatives.
The local sales of these little slips, which may be attached to packages, letters or the mail matter, may seem insignificant, but in the aggregate, if everyone buys, the sum total will go far toward helping someone out.
Why not add your mite?
The K. K. E. fraternity held its national convention at the Hotel Somerset in Boston last week. It is evident that the hotel was turned over to the students.
A FEE SYSTEM NEEDED
The movement to make the budget of the Jayhawker a definite fixture in the University's activities, to be regulated by fees paid in before the book is started, foreshadows the end of guesswork and deficit in putting out the annual, whether the plan is immediately adopted or not.
If the book is to mean anything, if it is to represent the University, if it is not a more plaything for politicians or experimenters, it deserves to be backed by the University, and recognized as a University interest
as well as a student interest. The best way to show such recognition is the adoption of a sound financial plan backed by the University.
In the meantime, this year's book is progressing over its necessarily rough road toward completion; but it will take earnest support from the entire school to make it completely successful.
Let us hope that this year will be the last that students will be forced to assume entire responsibility for financing a book that is only half theirs.
The mail carriers of Chicago have been supplied with roller skates to aid them in delivering mail. Fortunately for the Adams street mail carriers we all go home Christmas.
Why should not the students in the department of home economics know about all the things that go to make a successful household?
One of the most important laborers at present occupying the attention of the home economies department is that of educating the future Kansas housewives in the selection of a juicy steak.
No more will this unappreciated task fall to the lot of the future hene- pecked husband. If, in carving, the article on the platter fails to respond to the most diligent activity, the fault—well we will know then where to place the blame.
Woman spans husband who wants to sit with his feet on the dining-room table. . . . .
SOME ARE HONEST
The students at K. U. are demanding the honor system in examinations, which means that there would be no professors to see them resorting to the honor system. The honor system would certainly result in fewer failures. However, a student who is absolutely honest, shouldn't care how many people watch him when he is taking an examination. It would be unfair to the major to punish those who aren't sincere in their school work could pass better examinations than the real workers—Leavenworth Post.
FOOTBALL TRAINING DID IT
We have all heard of the advantages of football — manliness strength, endurance, pertinacity, and 'be like.
A more practical advantage of football training was demonstrated in St. Louis recently. A former star of the gridiron was standing beside a policeman. Suddenly the attention of both was drawn in the same direction and both spied three $1 bills. Who got them?
Well, the star made one lunge just as if the bills were a real pigskin, lit in a heap on top of them and recovered said bills without a fumble. The policeman, who had never had the advantage of football training, came to the playground with the comedy that it was an "off-side play" but received no satisfaction from a protest to the chief—University Missouriian.
OUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT Q.-Of what does, student government consist?
A—Certain regulations prescribed for the student body by a council will be in effect.
OUR DAILY QUIZ
Use honor system and grade yourself
M—Has it so far been successful?
Decidedly yes—as an ornament.
A. —To a large extent, as is shown by its indifference toward misappropriation of various articles and similarity of quiz papers.
Q. —What are some of the things it has abolished?
A. The wearing of hats in the balletines, compelling women to stand in a circle.
Q——Do the students approve and support this idea?
Q. —What is its chief aim?
A. None of the students beat
B. Philadelphia in 1919
Q. What is it rather to say
A. To wear pretty pins, give student dances, supervise elections and elect officers.
A—All except those who failed to be elected to the council and others who should think student government should be something more than a name.
Q——Does it encourage honor sentiment?
They outasked them, hist theist, tor these! Better men fared thus before, but they were not passed, passed, Holy charge—and sank at last. Charge once more, then, and be done! Let the victors, when they come, find thy body by the wall! Find thy body by the wall!

SOME MORE ADVICE FOR THE ORCHESTRA
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
It is the sentiment of a club of twenty that a great deal of classical music which has hitherto composed the greater percentage of the pro-creatives in the world could be dispensed with and in its place a little of the more popular pieces could be substituted.
Why not play a few such pieces as "A Perfect Day," "Roses Bloom for Lovers," Skylark Love, or the "Rosary," and at least a few of the college songs? It is to be pitied that a University organization can only cater to a comparatively small per cent of the students, who have been involved in a very high sense of musical appreciation while the rest of us are obliged to stay at home or be bored to death by this so called classical music.
Although we appreciate very much the altissimo (his spelling) tones of the flute, the tender tones of the oboes, the energetic notes of the clarinets, the melancholy notes of the horns, the complaining notes of the bassoons, the terrible blare of the trombone and the quiet feel that the orchestra would gain the support of the student body and more interest would be shown even if a slight attempt were made to vary the program; for we all know that "classical expression" "variety is the spice of life."
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Those who think our recent difficulties about coaching a product of modern times should study their ancient history more. Professor Aristotle Michovikski of the University of Krakow, Russia, nearly unarmed in warfare in the Holy Land, which is very interesting in that it shows that these little fuses are ever recurrent.
Commonplace People.
IN OTHER DAYS
The excavated literature is in the form of a diary kept by a student of the University of Gomorrah. Through the courtesy of Professor Michovitski we are enabled to furnish a part of it:
"Gomorrah. 2234. B. C.:
"Outlook far from pleasant. Our big game with Sodom is only a year off but from the showing our javelin team made against Sidon College last winter we may have a close game."
"Gomorrah, 2234 B. C.;
"We all feel more optimistic this fall. The big game is only one half year off and the team is working hard. Secret practise is held every day, and the coaches assure us that to 'Troy Shift' will spell defeat our team has been well coached and harmony prevails among its members."
(Then follow several stones of "dope," on which great stress is placed; the members of the team are in good condition; none of them has stiff joints or is over one hundred years of age.)
"Sodom whaled the tar out of us. There can be only one cause for it—poor coaching. Tablets of stone inscribed with a petition are being circulated. These petitions ask that Coach Mechelthem算 be trained in the use of Mephibosheth Academy, be employed for the coming decade. Mr. Anthotjah turned an ever victorious team this century, and with such stars as Elon and Tarshal back next year he should have as good success as anyone. We want a coach who knows something besides the 'Troy Shift.'"
(Here the tale is interrupted by a careless ox-driver who dropped one of the stones on the pavement, making the rest of the record illegible. We believe, however, that if a new coach were employed, he had little success, for Samson won the championship the next year unaided.)
