RED TAPE
In Wednesday's Kanan, a few of the evils of the present enrollment system were pointed out. That there should be a revision of the present system, there is no doubt. That there can be a more satisfactory system evolved, is not beyond the realms of possibility. The Kanan touched upon the fact that there is inadequate time for enrollment, that advisers are too much rushed to give proper attention to those students who desire their attention, and that there seems to be too much red tape, which causes undue difficulty and disturbance.
An administrative committee has been appointed to study the present system and suggest measures for improvement. This committee is anxious to view the situation from all angles, and will doublesh welcome whatever criticisms the students have to offer. Even destructive criticisms have their value, but those which are constructive in nature, those which offer some solution, have the greatest value.
The Kansan columns are open to any who are desirous of expressing themselves upon the subject. All communications will be printed in the Campus Opinion column which have a bona fide signature, although only initials will be used if the writer so desires. If students will express themselves in the matter, they will aid materially in overcoming some of the existing evils of enrollment.
THE POLITICAL FADE-OUT
The withdrawal of the two women's parties of the Hill from the political field is one of the most commendable movements ever attempted by the women and the W. S. G. A. of the University of Kansas. It indicates that Kansas women have realized that the most efficient officers for student government cannot be had by playing politics. Many errors and sins of the past have been perpetrated in the name of politics, long hours of worrying and working, unnecessary amounts of money wasted, and a great deal of energy expended for nothing at all except to get the most popular or influential women in office and then demand favors of them.
Merits do not cut a big figure in college politics, for the candidate with the biggest vote-drawing powers or 'the most influential sorority sisters has usually been the best candidate. Real executive ability has too often been a secondary matter. Then too, perhaps the capable woman is also the independent woman and refuses to be swayed by other members of her party, after taking office. So it is not safe to elect her, from the party point of view.
College politics at the University have been a standing joke, and it is with approbation that the Kanan views the recent disbandment of political parties that have formerly managed W. S. G. A. elections. By such action it is likely that a more practical and efficient system of elections will be evolved.
But the evils exist not alone with the women's campaigns. They exist in the entire political system of the Hill. Perhaps the current action by the women is but the forerunner of a general clean-up.
The political system can certainly stend a little renovation.
HELL WEEK
Hell week with its sheepless nights and yawning days in again making its appearance on the Hill. Throughout alley, graveyards and on lonely country roads, neophytes of various organization can be found at wired hours of the morning. Ask any pledge who has accurately determined the number of bricks in one block of Fourteenth street whether the week is well named or not.
The utility of being able to carry an egg for a week without breaking it has never been discovered. The origination of the Spanish Imprisonment would blush in shame at the modern improvements on their favorite form of diversion. Certainly one can may that heide relief from study Hell week offers remarkable chances for the study of psychology.
Whenever Hell Week is taken to mean a privileged period of cruelty it boasts all the fun it might have. Its humor is of the funny paper type and in some cases the extremes to which it can be carried have caused several national fraternities to abolish it. It is coming under a great deal of criticism.
Hell Week is a creation of youthful borsaphey and as long as it keeps within bounds it may serve some purpose as an announcement; but in most of its manifestations it is at its best
Editorials From Other Hills
Blushes, Eight Pieces and Imagination
(The Daily Illini)
Women and women's clothes are an ever ready friend in conversational need, and amidst the winter gales which have swept the campus these students are crying than that for adequate clothing for university women. If the Illini did such things, it would run a platform every day, one plank in which they can move.
We realize the delicacy, not to say scantiness, of this subject, but the Ilbil has stood by blushing for four years and watched University women perish by the thousands in winter time, and believes that the time he comes to save them from the ranges of Boreas. It is hot and one of our universities' honouraries arranging point systems. Don't send them point systems, it's clothing that they need. The poor things are freshborn to death.
"What modesty can you expect from a woman who wears a helmet, abjacet her own sex, and delips in feats of strength?" Jivanaalka in the sixth season of *Anchorman* might expect in such a case, but one would know that the open season on immediacy used to be only in Spring, and women used to clothe themselves. It is hard to cover themselves. But now zero weather has no more northeast for women in winter than celebrate eyes in summer. There are, it seems, eight articles to the usual walking costume; they include a skirt, panties, garters and two shoes, but exclusive of coat and hat. With a fur coat that may be enough, but a no end of dog and cat skirts could be saved if the women or even the piece of garment
One of the charges upon which Joan of Arc was burned was that she wore men's clothes, "which is indecent, unnatural, and abominal." But we'd even be glad to have the women wear men's clothing, just so they'd wear them. If they did, the scale was followed, they'd probably come out in soy and BVD.
They used to say that clothes make the man. The only equivalent left to us now is that the face of clothes is not his, but theirs—the man—and not his clothes, other.
When Diana appeared to Acneona near Carthage, her dress was drawn back so that he knee showed, where the pious founder of Romeiciated, "O a goddess assuredly!" It may be that all the women have read this and want to be mistaken for goddesses. If proportional exposure is a reality, each must be the information of an entire horoscope on Olympus.
To paraphrase Vanity Fair, none will say now that there is nothing under the sun. The faculty of imagination is liable to become atrophied and altogether unless something is left to it.
A moustache context is in progress at the University of Arkansas. A year's subscription to "The Arkansas Traveler," the university paper, will be given to the student who grows the longest mountain within a month.
Men outnumber women by 18 per cent at the University of Oregon.
Dr. J, J. J. Macleod, the discoverer of Insulin, will give a lecture on this subject in the audiolorium of the Administration building at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. All who are interested are welcome to attend.

At the Concert BY RUTH LAWLESS
Mune, Sigrid Oeginé delighted musical lovers last night with the vibrant vibrancy of her contralto voice, and the dramatic emotion of her grand opera, which characterized her delivery. Perfect accuracy of pitch, firmness and smoothness of tone, and precise attacks and release made all of her selections refreshingly free to play.
E. H. LINDLEY.
Madame Oregni appeared in four groups, "Ah, Mb. Mon片," aria from Meyerbeer's "La Propéite" composed by the composer and later in range and technical agility of the program. The contrast movement, with its ascending rhythms, was sung
No selection surpassed a L'orge F. "long of the Open," an exultant, in study and study, then extended strangely to the delicate letter S. "Lullaby" in the closing group.
In the second group, Haydn's "Now the Dancing Sunbeams" was the most pleasing with its gay vivacity. "For pleasure," he wrote, "with its many trills and distinct rhythms has a distinct appeal.
In a group of German songs, Leoewer's "Der Totenantur" and "The Kidny Song" are beautiful examples for other contrastive color, power, and vitality of tone. Madame Oregni realized all of the latent possibilities of these reclusive numbers. There were also some interesting in her curiosity of interpretation.
A voting contest to determine the most popular song at the University of Washington is being held by the group. The winner will use the song in that production.
The Women's Rifle Team will have matches with the University of Washington and the University of South Dakota this week. The team will be made up of 12 men who must highest scores in the last match. Fifteen girls will take part.
