KANSAS WELCOMES YOU
Robinson gymnastium has been a hubbub of excitement all day today as the sixteen high school teams fought to survive the first round of the state tournament. More than two hundred high school students of Kansas, players and followers, are in attendance.
We extend the right hand of welcome to all attending the tournament. We want them to feel at home on the campus. Future years may see them traversing the same campus as students of the University.
In welcoming these students, we hope they will catch enough of the atmosphere and spirit of K. U., who are they here that they will want to become one of us. Success to the winner and compolls to the loser.
The women's debating team of Southwestern college seems to have won an overwhelming victory. They defeated Fairmount by a 58 to 12 score. Does it really require 70 judges to decide a debate, or do they count the number of words per second?
WHAT ARE THE MEN GOING TO DO?
Spring elections will soon be here and still the Men's Student Council indicates no intention of changing the out-of-date system of our politics. The Student Council apparently has no desire to change. The present standing of politics is satisfactory to them. With folded hands the parties of the campus complemlly disregard their real problems. Their platforms are writes of defense, not pledges which are to be executed after election. Any attempt to carry them out reveals that they are intangible.
There is little hope, then, in the platforms. But we could elect those men who will have the genuine support of the students in solving problems as they arise.
The wholebody support which the women officers of the future will have we believe in the virtue of the system they have inaugurated. The women will meet in open forum in the future and name their candidates. Every woman on the campus may have a part in selecting nominees. After election the officers may command the support of every woman voter.
Under the present system of men's political active men on the campus are elected, but after their election they are unable to govern even with the best of intentions, because their recommendations are flouted. They do not have the support of the men of the campus who had no part in their nomination.
The plan of the open forum nomination the women have adopted is the best on the campus. It is a challenge to the men.
IT MIGHT BE LIKE THIS
IT MIGHT BE LIKE THIS
It was only a small, and probably insignificant smoke of smoke, but someone saw it and yelled "fire." There was a scramble for books, coats, and a wild rush for the one and only one doorway. Out they came from the first floor rooms, up the stairs, down the stairs, yelling and pushing—but the doors swung in. This is a picture of the scene that would take place in Watson library if at sometime a panic should start. According to the state fire prevention law, the doors are hung wrong, and it would take little time to have them rehume, and thus be prepared for the emergency in a public building.
50 PER CENT EFFICIENCY
There are many things in the press educational system which detract from the general efficiency of a university. How far we fall short of the maximum efficiency, it is hard to say, although it is easy to believe that our own University operates at not more than fifty per cent efficiency.
The seventeen schools and divisions of the University are maintained at a tremendous annual cost. It is doubtful if the persons concerned realize on more than half of the annual budget.
The reason is that students do not take their work seriously and are not urged by their own initiative to make the most of the opportunities for research that lies before them. The members of the older generation entrusted with our instruction are not zealous enough to inspire in us a love for the work which is set before us, and which is consequently undertaken in an uninterested manner.
We have no reason for permitting the University to go on as it does go on. We give the excuse most often that we go to college for the associations and friendships which are to be had on every side and either hand. But we surely overlook the fact that our most happy associations can be held with the subject; with which we are now usually struggling and some of our best friendships may be with instructors for whom now we may have the greatest dislike. When one sings for the days of a half century ago, he might well recall that they were days wet, students and their instructors were the greatest of friends.
Why sigh over the present system of things and the deplorable efficiency standing of our University, you may ask. Because our University, like others, is gradually evolving into a place where individuality is crushed with our gullibility and meek acceptance and we come to be members of one of two groups—the spineless "pugans" who are content to get an education by having a good time or the "young radicals" who come nearer to educational perfection, although making many mistakes but whose chief glory is in fighting the "pugans" with frequent playful prods.
One just can not keep from wondering about the author who wrote a text book called "Effective Speaking and then dedicated it to his wife.
SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER
Yesterday at noon the gates of the Kansas State penitentiary at Laming youth back to allow Ray H. Hoor, two years an inmate, to make its exit.
Today at noon, twenty-four hour later, Foor was united in marriage with Miss Averell Gay, "a pretty red haired girl from Wichita."
Two years ago, down at Wichita Foor was charged with first degree murder for the killing of a patrolman in a Wichita dance hall. He was found guilty of fourth degree manslaughter and has just finished his term in the penitentiary.
Moral—if one experiences difficulties in enticing the female of the species into the matrimonial net purchase a revolver and do away with a would-be enforcer of the law meanwhile getting one's self purnure a fow times in a resulting "hoe roic" stand against would-be enforcers.
Such a procedure, with the accompanying over-exploitation it will be sure to receive at the hands of news-papers, is almost certain to bring a minimum of half-a-dozen proposals from the opposite sex, imbued with their own kind of hero-worship, in addition to an abundance of flowers and sweets while recuperating from the aforementioned heroic stand. Now upon his release, he steps out of the penitentiary to be greeted by his wife-to-be, one of the scores of women who were attracted to him during his jail sojourn.
Mrs. Bertha K. Landes, elected mayor of Seattle last week, was forced to resign to make way for the new city manager form of government adopted at the same election. Anyway, she has the satisfaction of knowing she would be mayor of Seattle if the city was to have a mayor.
THE LITTLE SALAMANDER
When I go free,
I think I will be
A night of stars and snow,
And the wild fire of frost shall light
My footsteps as I go;
And there be there
With grooming to touch, or sight,
To see me in my bank of hair
Dance burning through the night
A Mass.
IT?
SHALL ALL OR ANY WEAR
If the faculty do not desire to comply with the resolution adopted by the senior class and wear cap and gown at this year's commencement exercises, would it not be just as well for neither faculty nor seniors to appear in academic costume?
It is a tradition in other universities that the faculty wear the cap and pown at commencement. The centers believe that the tradition is one worthy of establishment at Kanana.
The main argument advanced by those opposed to the idea is that too much expense is involved; but the seniors feel that faculty members are as well able to bear the expense as most of the seniors, and it is due as a courtesy.
The resolution is simply a request in the part of the graduating class. Will the faculty see it in this light and to their part toward associating tradition and beauty with education once a year?
It was somewhere between the
journe of 7:30 and 10 last night. Stil-
ents were industriously readin-
magazines and papers in the period
room of Watson library.
THOUGHTLESSNESS
The door opened and in strolled two students—a man and a woman. Taking o paints to not disturb the others in he room, they made their way to a able, sat down, and began to talk, not loud, but in a tone easily audible all over the room.
Other occupants of the room looked up from their reading and stared at be new arrivals. Apparently unaware of the attention they were attracting, the couple continued talking. There was no effort made to lower their voices to a whisper. The woman rooke out in a loud giggle and the man chuckled. Persons nearby turned their chairs and stared.
Then it apparently dawned on the wo that they were making themselves somewhat conspicuous, and they got up and left, but they had ruined a half out of study for a lot of people.
This case is not an exceptional one, there seems to be a general belief that the library is a social gathering place where conversation is quite peri-
sible.
These remarks are meant to be personal. They are especially intended or the two persons here mentioned and others in the habit of doing the same thing. We hope they read it and do in private some of the thinking they obviously do not perform when they are in the library.
It is a Kansan policy that all communication intended for this column be accompanied by the name of the writer, in order that the staff may now that they are sincere expressions of student opinion. The writer must also be an artist communication, if he desires otherwise, but it is necessary that his name be known by the editor. It is also necessary that they be as brief as possible. There are now two campus opinions on this column which are unsigned and the other too long. If the writers will come to the Kansan office, it will be possible to arrange to publish what they have written.—The Editor.
Campus Opinion
Here's a crazy thought from a crazy person. I've been downtown selling advertising today, I like to sell advertising. The reason, I believe, is because the people at our school all take the students of the University ask a great deal of the merchants of Lawrence, but it is always granted. Sending the glee club to New York is recent evidence. We are mighty proud of our GREAT team in down town who finally made it possible for them to go. This is queer chatter, but I've been to other schools, and know there is an unusually fine co-operative spirit between K. U. and the people in town. So know the down town people better. Think it over—K. C.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editorials From Other Hill-
The Illim can scrape retrrain its glee at the impending joys of another "Hello Day." In fact we think more of Hello Day than we do of the point system, which, it must be admitted is a lot.
A FIZZLE
A FIZZLE
This Hello Day is a welcome tradition, and it has been around these parts for many years, and any civilization directed against it will naturally old things are apt to be pretty good ones, just as the old ideas or old eggs are. For the benefit of heightened new standards, we encourage women on one day every year all University women don tags upon which are printed "Hello girls," or words to that effect. The women wear three pink shirts with a red collar they meet each other, they glare at each other and maintain a determined silence. Then at the end of the day the tapes are destroyed, preferably become their own melter agents now.
**Hello Day is probably about the worst fizzle—and we realize that it is a nibbled statement—the worst fizzle that is perpetrated in these parts all year. It is the inevitable result of systematizing everything under the sun. If there were any spontaneity, I would have been happy. But there might be a chance, but as it is, nobody says hello because no points are offered for it.
Hello Day is an outward institution, if it ever was worthwhile, and the campus will be a n lot better off when the women or the Woman's League steps trying to feel no burden at all for tag; would be better devoted to buying an adding machine for the new point system.
On Other Hills
The latest fad among the women of northern colleges is to wear masculine corks over feminine stockings. This is considered quite hot in cold weather and taken the place of the unruly grazies.
From now on, Harvard University will allow only 1,000 men to enter that institution yearly.
"The Sperrs," an honorary under-
wardess women's organization, meets all of the entering women of the University of Idaho. The members are in attendance in an afternoon and help with their living and scholastic arrangements.
The list of numbers played at the
first dance held at McGill University some nineteen years ago include two steps, waltzes and gravats exclusively, such as "Happy Humpie," "Crazy Woman" and good fortune to know what "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" is.
For fear that the "Yellow Dog," and the "Razberry," forthcoming scandal at the University of Southern California, will not come up to a high level, he has appointed to guarantee the purity of their additions.
Freshman week is being planned at the State College at Washington. It will be worked out by a faculty committee and incoming freshmen will have the college to themselves for three days.
Rather skating is the latest fad at Oregon Agricultural College. Everyone is skating to classes, to town and even to dance. It is estimated that 700 pairs of skates were sold in one week by local merchants.
The fraternities at the Iowa Wesleyan have received the gift of a trophy cup from J. H. Kremmye, of Academy, IU. The cup is awarded on the basis of relative scholastic standing. When the same group has won it three consecutive times it is permitted to keep it.
An English jeweler of over thirty years experience states that English women's hands are growing larger. He believes that tennis, golf and women's wider interest in athletics, are responsible for the change.
Twenty-three of the 32 national fraternities and sororities at the University of Indiana have banned the Charleston in their houses. The "taeow" was deemed necessary in order to protect the dwellings. Props were placed under the fire during the Charleston bombing of one prominent Charleston outburst. For the sake of economy as well as safety, the houses have banned the craze.
The latest thing in competition on the Iowa State College campus is a women's foot contest. First and second prizes will be awarded to the women having the nearest perfect feet.
The custodian of the law library at Indiana University rented his house to colored students and agreed to pay the telephone bill. The first call that he received was $13.29. The contract was rescinded.

"What is this place?" inquired the visitor. "A club?"
Not So Strange
With the moderating weather some students may begin to look about for the farm with which March is destined to be held. The farm that March can start have either Marry or Mary.
