AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACT
AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACT
The communication concerning student conduct on the Missouri trip which the Daily Kansas referred to the disciplinary authorities of the University through the Men's Student Council should settle once and for all the questions in the minds of the student body; what is the Student Council, what are its powers, and what should be its functions?
The opinion seems to be general that the University Council, by withholding for a time this fall the usual disciplinary powers delegated to the Men's Council, dealt the latter a telling blow so far as student respect is concerned. There is no doubt that, whether intentional or not, the freshman cap action of the University Council seriously injured the standing of student self-government at the University.
In self defense the Student Council should take this opportunity definitely to re-establish its standing before the student body, or to ask to be relieved of disciplinary responsibility.
As things now stand, students are wondering just what rights, powers, and functions belong to the Student Council. Its consultation with an advisory committee in regard to the recent communication does not indicate an excess of self-confidence in dealing with disciplinary matters.
"Teleplasma" is what ghosts are made of, is the belief of a German professor. Exactly so, and it comes in brown bottles from Kentucky or St. Louis.
In order to keep abreast of the times it is humbly suggested that the faculty do their Christmas quizzing early.
EITHER STAY IN OR STAY OUT The habit among students of leaving in the middle of a lecture or chapel speech was particularly noticeable at the recent address by Professor Mendel. Students left in such numbers and with such commotion that the speaker was visibly annoyed and that part of the audience which was interested in the discourse was unable to give proper attention.
attention.
It is questionable whether or not it is best to turn the freshman hygiene classes into such a lecture as that by Professor Mendel. They evidently do not, and perhaps can not appreciate the opportunity, and they go a long way toward spoiling it for those who are interested.
It would he far better to give the freshmen permission to go if they so desire or to stay away if they feel thus inclined. In going, they perhaps might gather some valuable information; but at the same time, the fact must be born in mind that such lectures are not primarily for freshmen.
KEEP AGITATING
Founded upon the same principle which enables water to wear away a stone, continued urging of the mill tax will so imbued it in the minds of the citizens of this state that when the next legislature rolls around everyone will think of it favorably. It cannot be expected however, that Kansas and her people at large will remember this needed reform if the students and those actively associated with the University stop pressing it. It is up to all of us—especially to the county clubs—to make the best of opportunities to pull for a permanent University income.
And yet some people wonder why certain youths like to get out and tear things up occasionally.
It is bragged about that several of those "under-berth" patrons of the late Columbia Special have been suffering with bronchitis and other "pulmonary" affections.
The falls of Niagara are 160 feet high; how much warmer the water be at the bottom than at the top?—Physics text-book.
WORK HARD TILL CHRISTMAS
The remark is sometimes made that more students get behind in their work between the Thanksgiving holiday and the Christmas recess than at any other time. This period between vacations may not be exactly the "flunking" time of the term; yet it is natural that students should start in slowly after Thanksgiving and then slack up again just before Christmas.
Dr. Day Advises Girls to Save Bank Account—Kansas head-line. Perhaps her name should have been Dr. Rainy Day.
There are only fifteen days of work between holidays—a rest to start them with, and another one at their close. A little "pep" at the beginning and a strong finish up to Friday noon, the nineteenth, should have several per cents to do with keeping the grade in the proper column in Registrar Foster's office.
Just as soon as somebody hits on music to fit it; the St. Vitus dance will be specialized.
As we see it, the tango is exactly eighty-two steps in the wrong direction.
Then the string halt, and after that locomotor ataxia.—Philadelphia North American.

REQUIEM
Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me die. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I lay me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for men:
Here he lies where he longs to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea.
And the sailor is your friend.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
CAMPUS OPINION
(The Daily Kansan is glad to print communications, showing student opinion, whether in agreement or not with its policy. Apparently the communicant misunderstand the paper's position, which favors Chancellor Strong's idea of permanence in our coaching staff and the selection of assistant by the head coach). To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The Wednesday issue of the Daily Kansan containing the editorial "A long sighted policy" is indeed to the point and worthy of commendation; it really expresses the Kansan University. As the originator of the petition for the retention of Coach Frank last year and as a senior, I ask to be given space in which to express the opinion of not a few who are interested, only in football, but in everything to the welfare of this institution.
In the first place, I want to know from these "kickerites" just what is the matter with the Frank-Mosse combination. Come out and tell the students what you know! This lack of words proclaims ignorance inism, so speak up! This continual misunderstanding欠值 the Kansan spirit,—not the spirit displayed at Columbia when our team was fighting a battle never to be forgotten, with every true Kansan behind the team to the last. How many of that crowd of loyal Kansans will say a word against the Frank-Mosse being spirit? It seems that should defeat inflicted by Missouri should have suddenly ushered in this out-of-place and democratic procedure. I must confess that the alumni about us are really to be marveled at when it comes to endorsing affairs that they know comparatively little about, and questions to disappear. The importance are surely they could do much more for the good of the University, were they to create half as much noise in the direction of increased appropriations and the like.
Perhaps some of you don't realize that Coach Mosse and Frank are just as much aware of the weaknesses of our plays as the "kickerites" and alumni who know everything, especially the latter who see a game each season and read the dope carefully.
A. M. Goldman.
I am not dissatisfied,—at least not "more" at the coaching staff. I saw every game except one this year and I know the strength of the team. Students, if you are in harmony with this Kennedy petition, you are instituting a most irrational movement. Find two more capable leaders. Frank and Mike, more spirited Kansams, two more experienced foot-users with the reputations that they have made, and I yield my point.
Whom do you want? Not Kennedy, because there are of no whirlwind Redskins on McCook. Come, let us have a little of the old unpolluted K. U. spirit. We're for the team, we're for the coaches; we respect the opinion of the Chancellor and last of all, we can take defeat when we're beaten by a stronger team.
TRIAL OF HONOR SYSTEM
A professor of philosophy tried out the honor system, as adopted by the upper classes, the other day. He wrote his questions on the board, passed out the blue books, moment for a possible questions left the room. This last was not obligatory, but showed his confidence in the class. It is gratifying to report that the system worked well. There was no cribbing whatever, and in each student strengthened so much that the sense of response. We hope that the reason the faculty will see the system in the same light.-Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.
