U. 6 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1926 The latest is "Choose Your-Career-Week" for women. Perhaps provided to fill the time between leap years. THIS DATE RULE The time-worn question of the dates rule is up for discussion again, this time disguised as a movement to abolish the rule for senior women. Members of W. S. G. A. discussed the possibility of removing all date rule restrictions on senior women at a meeting last Wednesday, but no definite action was taken. Leading senior women of the Hill are now ruling forces in preparation for discussion of the proposition at the next meeting of the council. If the proposed measure is passed it will mean that senior women will be allowed to have dates when they please while freshman, sophomore, and junior women will be expected to abide by the present ruling. The few conscious seniors who have been viewing shows from the balcony of the local theater during week nights may sit in the parquet without fear if the proposed race is pass. There is little doubt abolition of the date rule for senior women would mean admission of failure of the enforcement of the present date rule at the University. It would be undemocratic and would create class consciousness. For this reason alone it would be undesirable. Moreover it would tend to break down regard for the rule among women of the other classes. No doubt the rule as it now stands is inadequate. That the purpose of the rule is right cannot be denied, but some change in administration is necessary. The rule must be either abolished or enforced. But abolition of the rule for senior women, only would be an unwise move. CARS AND EDUCATION A student whose home is in K. C admits that Lawrence is the furthest south he has ever been. About a year ago cars were banned from the campus at Princeton University. The move appears to have been more or less successful, and now the school authorities go one step farther and ask parents not to allow students to own cars while at school. Several years ago a similar move was attempted at the University, but with little success. Today cans on Mt. Ortec seem to be thicker and more varied and assorted sizes, colors and constructions than ever before. About half of the student body seems to succeed fairly well in getting an education, in spite of the fact that it walks to and from all classes. It has never been satisfactorily explained why the other half couldn't accomplish the same feat. Neither has it ever been satisfactorily explained just why farmers, with dry-wheather wheat crops and mortgaged farms, should be forced to pay taxes to support an institution where students float leisurely to and from class in Hudsons and Cadillacs, or whiz two whole blocks to and from school in a Ford. But then, there are a few ponderous problems which one simply cannot solve, so we give up. A United States senator has asked permission to have a case of pre-prohibition beer sent to each member of Congress to see whether it is intoxicating. There is nothing like a thorough test, but who is going to donate the pretzels? ALL'S RIGHT WITH THE WORLD In the advertising sections of the papers we reed that spring hats, coats shoes, frocks and suits are on disply. Out of doors we hear the rong of the robin, overhead the greene are flying, underfoot the first blades of grass begin to show, and the days are a wet hit longer. All of this gives up warning that spring, the season of nature's most enchanting and bewitching days, is at hand. Refreshing spring showers will soon be here to cleanse and purify the air. Then we can inhale deeply, not only of the invigorating air, but of the spirit of spring, nature's youth, a spirit that spurs us on to achievement. Then too, we can brush aside the past curses and worries and start afresh with the world. Wonder how the Clavilux recital appeared to color-blind students. AMUNDSEN TRIES AGAIN Amuneden, the explorer who made an attempt to reach the North Pole by airplane last summer, and whose disappearance for several weeks caused the entire world much apprehension, has announced that he will make another journey into the Arctic region. This brave adventurer was given up for host on his last trip north, and his return was heralded far and wide with streamer headlines in all newspapers. And now he is preparing to make another attempt. He will go by airplane again and, profiting by his first mistakes, all indications are that he will make good. The point is that Amundsen seems to possess unmeasurable courage and daring. Most persons who had gone through such an experience as he and his party encountered on their first venture would be content to let some one else try it the next time. But Amundsen is of a different nature. He will not be content until he has succeeded in reaching the North Pole, regardless of the great danger involved. Although in a certain sense there is considerable fool-hardiness in this persistence of daring death, at the same time, one can not but feel an admiration for such a man and hope that he will carry through the attempt successfully. At the end of performance in a local theater a slide is thrown on the screen saying "Short intermission to allow those who have seen the show to pass out." Must show real films. "Old Brothers will take water for final tour," mays a headline. Wonder what they took along on the other trips. "To College by Canning" reads a Kansas City Times headline. We always thought that was the way one left college. If ignorance were bliss, some students would be all-American blisters. Following a custom inaugurated years ago, American firms have issued a list of best sellers" in all classes for 1925. Editorials From Other Hills Best Sellers But to paraphrase a well-known quotation, "Where are the best sellers of yesterday?" Who now reads "Main Street," "Green Manhattan" or "If Windsong gated to the ash heap of books to be forgottes, books which in coming generations will be regarded merely as interesting examples of early 20th century literature," or is it a truly great book finds its way into the category of "best sellers" but it is exception rather than the rule. Often the truly lasting literary works are published the first year in which they are published. The large reading public fails to understand their true worth and it takes the evaluating influence of the experts. The books with the greatest sale should be read as a matter of information but in many cases they will be a waste of time. It would be an instructive experiment to save the 1925 and in 1950 find out if any are still valid.

Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: A week or so ago several camp opinions and editorials were run in the Kansan condemning and supporting politics as it exists on the University of Kansas campus today. The writer runs them all, but he doesn't cast his lot with those who have tried to show the defects in the system. It is a well known fact that under the present system politics as an institution really benefits no one. The students who obtain benefits are a very small percentage of the student body who have lambed themselves together into two small growth groups to become candidates whose votes those the candidates for popular student elections. E. B. STOUFFER, Chairman. of the University have ever stopped to consider the fact that these two groups of men (numbering 60 to 75 at the most) are selecting the men for the Hill. This fact alone, if well pondered over, should be sufficient to convince the student that there is no need to continue in they have in the past. The writer believes that something should be done to remedy the situation before much more difficult methods. Why should the entire student body be required? Better than the "inner-circle" system would be one whereby a larger and more varied representation of students is enacted, the candidates for student offices. nked to act upon them. The judge average student on the Hill have any reason to believe that these few individuals know men and can judge their ability to work. Why should we as students in the University tolerate such an undemonstrative system as the present one to exist unmodified and unaltered? B. B. On Other Hills Students at the University of Indiana are compelled to purchase activity tickets unless they are excused by the committee on student affairs. In order to promote good feeling between the sororites on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, these organizations are going to work with Willie to be a part of sixty weeks for these exchanges to be completed. Fifteen law students of the University of Missouri took the bar examination of the state board of law examiners at Jefferson City, Feb. 22, according to J. P. McBaine, dum of the School of Law. The examination was held on Monday, who practiced in Missouri. Eight of these were women. Members of the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Press Association are holding their meetings this week at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The association is composed of editors of college dailies and yearbooks in Colorado and Wyoming. As a novel feature of the session, there will be one of the lower chambers of the Gave of the Winds in Colorado Springs. "Iell week" at the University of Illinois will be very tame compared to those of preceding years according to Dean T. A. Clark. Fraternities must confine their stuarts to their respective houses and grooms, and they must not try in any way to attract the attention of the public. The Institute of Research of Lehigh University will give three fellowships to students who have completed requirements in engineering or science substantially equivalent to those of the undergraduate program, and technology and two in engineering. - The science and technology fellowship carries with it an annual The New McCallum Antelope Colors for Spring The New An exclusive group of new hosiery shades—six in all—ranging in tone from a soft rosy tan to deeper toast colors.
