ONE STUDENT COUNCIL
The University of Kansas is a coeducational institution open to students of both sexes. But, men elect a group to represent them; women do the same thing; and student government degrades into a respectable foul between the sexes. Energy which might well be spent on constructive movements to benefit the University as a whole is expended to determine in just what manner power should be divided between the two councils. A parallel ease might be the imaginary one of the establishment of a House of Men and a House of Women at Topena Just how far would the state of Kansas get with such an arrangement? Men and women managed to carry on a successful student conference together at Estes Park last summer. At the University of California and at other large schools men and women successfully conduct student government. Why should student government at Kansas not be worthy of the highest ideals of coeducation? What do the students think about establishing one council? Communications may be sent to the editor of the Kansan.
A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING
In an insight scene, the legend goes a very astute and clever old wolf donned the hide of a slain sheep and in this disguise trapped many a gullible sheep into his hair, which lair the fable intimates, was no suitable place for any sheep, especially young and tender ones.
The fable is a venerable one, and its truth is demonstrated before us. Politics on the University campus are not what they might be. In fact we wish to infer that they are a wool in sheep's clothing. This fact can be seen any year. Talk to any so-called "good politician" about our system of politics. He will say you are unheldly, and explain at great length and with a too voluble show of sincerity that our present system is all that could be hoped for. You can vote, recording to him, for any man you desire. If you have acquired the idea that you must vote a party ticket, he will sooth his consciences, then that it is your own afair.
But the disguise scarcely covers the wolf, Can you vote for any one you please? The fact of the matter is that you cannot. The men you are voting for are selected and presented to you for your "consideration." But how are they selected? By a unanimous vote of your party, or by an all powerful committee who pull the strings to make you dance*
The subtle part about the disgust is that the wolf knows when to use it. He faces the new students and freshmen, to whom the statement "that is the way we do it here" is law, and shows off his nice sheep's head, and urges them gently to come and play. And the freshmen, bewildered by their plunge into University life, often violate their own judgment rather than infringe on a "University custom."
But there are people around behind the wolf who are able to see, if they will look, that his disguise isn't big enough to make him a convincing sheep when viewed from the rear. The wolf is clever, and argues to these people, "What difference does it make? I'm only playing. And be
sldas I'm not old enough to do any harm."
Little sheep, however, form habits, and little sheep who let a wolf in sheep's clothing fool them in college politics may be let to let the same thing happen in government policies. "The discouraging part about the matter is that the people who know the true nature of the wolf, and see the sheep being led astray, watch an and merely say, 'too bad.'"
Even young sheep can see the holes in the disguise if they will investigate, and even freshmen can see the weak points in the present system of politics in the University. Therein will lie the salvation of the policies in the University, provided the freshmen will act as their judgments dictate.
The terms "student" and "footer" are not generally considered to be synonymous. But the fact that he two are not interchangeable has been lost sight of in planning the footer's section for this football season.
WHO SHOULD DO THE CHEERING?
It is doubtful if the expenditure of ten or more dollars for a student activity ticket makes the purchaser a good rooter and it is also a matter of question as to whether a good rooter ceases to be a good rooter when he is graduated. Yet there are the lines which have been drawn in determining who shall cheer the Kansas football team toward the ownership of the Valley this year.
The rooters' section will be located n the two center sections on the Kansas side this year. It will be open only to holders of activity tickets and all those who enter the games in such tickets will be forced to sit here. There are no reserved seats or the students with activity tickets. "First come, first served", will he rule in the rooter's section.
There are four distinct reasons why the present plan for the rooter's section cannot be entirely satisfactory or successful. It keeps out f the section some of the best rooter Kansas has—the recently graduated alumni. It holds in the section some of the poorest rooters,刑业 because they possess activity tickets. It keeps students and their families separated at the games. It discriminates against students when it does not provide for reserved seats or them. The first pair evils will make directly for failure in cheering and the last two will make students dissatisfied. Who can cheer when e thinks of his brother, who graduated last year, sitting in another section undergoing the humiliating experience of "solo cheering"?
The rooter's section should be for outers only and for all the rooters
IS SOCIETY JUST?
People in this part of the country are decidedly shocked at present, by he reports of one of the most brutal murders that has occurred for some time. But this is not an isolated case any means. Ours is an extremely dangerous society these days. Those ncled toward crime have come to told the law in contempt, depending upon the protection of society which eldom fails them.
The purderer knows that if he is naught, he has a very good chance of getting off with a light sentence at the worst. When a case is actuallyrought to trial after months' delay, the public is usually indifferent or sentimentally in favor of the murderer. The jury, a fair sample of public opinion, is guided by emotion rather than intelligence.
Justice, in these days, fails to reach far enough to protect the lives of our citizens. The power of the law, as it is applied today, is futtle to check defiant lawlessness.
It seems to be about time that our courts were administering punishment that would not only be justice, but a powerful example for other criminals. It is up to public opinion to demand a more efficient punitive system, not only as a retribution but as a prevention.

Fraternities at the University of Missouri pledged 248 men by midnight Thursday night, which marked the end of rush week, according to the university. The men were announced by yells given by older men of the fraternities.
