Well, why not? Politics can be educational as well as practical—or wartime—according to the point of view taken. Why not make politics educational at the University of Kansas? Why not take them out of the state of cambs that now holds them and put them on an educational basis that will be practical as well as water white? What right or justification is there for political actions as they now exist on Mount Oread? Student electors in past years have been more caricatures of what they should have been, and would be, under good leadership. Not that the student tenders are lacking in those virtues or talents that go to make up political leaders but merely that they are lacking in knowledge and experience. They are staging blindly after something they will never reach under the present system. To mention again the recent women's election would be to prolong a painful jump. To dig into past elections among the men would be to rattle the debate. Why not change these elections so they would actually have a meaning? If that is done and campus polls are put on a significant scale, we will be more recent talking about "instrumental student government," "back of student control," "inefficiency" and "the like, would become back numbers." There is a wealth of political experience on the campus that has never been utilized by the parties. It is safe to say that there are at least ten men and women on the faculty who are well versed with every angle of practiced and applied politics and who could very possibly be persuaded to Janap and show the parties how things can be run so that the student political leaders would really gain something as well as make the elections stand in their proper place. Nothing is gained the way thineway run now, and much is lost. Student government has become a face; elections are little more than popularly content; platforms have become managements repetitives of multiteach phrases which have for their main content the fact that John Jones or Mary Jones is luckily eligible at the moment and will appraise the votes of all good members of the party. It is a recognized fact that candidates are usually picked as candidates, but because they have special administrative or executive ability, but because they are known and are counting on their athletic process to put them across—and they usually get accents. Faculty members can play disinterested parts and will if they are honest and interested attempts made improvement. Of course the faculty should not control student elections or student government, or any of the other exclusively student affairs, and the faculty doesn't want to. It is the business of the faculty to instruct students and why shouldn't those members who are qualified to demonstrate politics enter into the game and make it a serious proposition that people will pay some attention to? By advising and helping to provide real issues, real platforms, real candidates, and by showing the student body how real politics work out, those faculty members would be doing an honest and worthy piece of work. By neglecting and only criticizing they are not. By inviting the faculty to take part student political leaders would accomplish something. By running things as they now do they are demonstrating that they are well as including the campus. "They must call there new spring trousers bessent tan because they are so hot," remarks Piai's McRoa. BLOTTERS AND GRINDS Does education get us anywhere? That is a question all students may well ask themselves. Here in the University are gathered something like four thousand students, especially for the same purpose—to learn. But there are some who learn, some who don't, and others was made Pt. Rex Kappa. "Ink-biterery" and "grind!" are not closely related species of student. The former him an amazing capacity for describing all that is spilled out by he well-wishing professor. At examination time the beheaded warty at the front of the class conjuncts a search for the knowledge he patiently diatomized during the prevising weeks. And the ink-bitterery and the grind! are not unrelated or changed in any way. The grind attempts to do the same thing, but is less successful. Nature has been unkind to him. She owes him with a desire, but his withheld the tools for the attainment of this desire. He struggles long hours over his texts. He makes a careful record of all the class lectures. Before examinations he peruses indefinitely over all the class work as preserved on paper. But somehow his memory fails him at the crucial moment. And the grind yields to the blotter, although actually this sharp cleavage between the two does not exist. Between the grind and the inlubber is a wide, ample class of students. They are difficult to pire辱 hole. Among these are found the mentally weak and the mentally strong. Here are campus leaders, and also those who merely swell the total of enrollment. Athletes, gift club members, prospective politicians, debaters, are all in this class. Originally most of them came to college with the avowed purpose of studying. Soon after their arrival they began to take stock of their surroundings; and to their great amazement they discovered that academic education was not the only thing that could be put in a college. In fact, it became apparent to them that knowledge from books is secondary, and that acquaintancehips and activities are far more important. The social life is itself a fare. College has now assumed the role of a background against which these students can show their particular talents. Here are two extremes. Neither can be justified, yet neither can be condemned. Those who go to one side or the other do so because their particular interests or activities in life have prepared them. An accident may have had a share in determine which path each is to take. And when we get down to "hate attacks," we find it hard to say which is better. In the long run one will do what he best likes. This satisfies his own individuality. And in so doing, he may be able to serve others best, thus satisfying the demands of society. If the average student could get he idea that being on the Hill and living the experiences, that be must, in a process of not going through college, but of putting college through him, there would be a greater progress in learning. A SONG AT TWILIGHT If the pressure is low The calendar is now hard upon their section of the year which holds an indisputable element of weather for the population of Mt. Oread. Men are commencing to prate of love, and women are beginning to listen to their prattings; political parties are backing campus heart-piters; students are sleeping in four classes a day instead of three; rich students are driving automobiles across the campus at very high and dangerous speeds; expulsions for the flunkers are soon to be expected; and already there is centering and illicit walking on the grass. But ah Psyche, that is not all! Dramatic organizations have turned OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a. m.

The hubbub board which for years served at the entrance of the campus was removed last summer when the street was being widened. It should be returned to place, or some other adequate posting since provided. Porchings indicate posting about the library might be eliminated by providing an artistic burden background some place in the entrance hall and allowing only posters of specified size to appear there. Most of these poster claim general student interest. Could we not have only regular place for them, instead of letting them enter the whole campus? Announcements and advertisements have their place, but we should not allow them to mark the effort of landmark and architecture. FACULTY OF GRADUATE SCHOOL; a musical comedy; and poetry comedies *writing poems!* Sidale and divided faculty members have actually told new jobs in classes. There is every reason of an essay content in the subject of "Kansas Grows the Best Wheat in the World." All this and more, (tunes are blues for these who breathe of it) is not现 pressed upon by the ominous governing laws of the student public. The cunning members of both administrative groups content themselves with excitant plots over the fact that they are really members. Even while these members plant revolution sites itself. Academic radicals are seeking to overthrow the present democratic plan of university affairs, and develop a system whereby all engineers can be poets, if they desire. --thing is being done if some attempt at critical thinking, thinking for is being made. This is one someone's self, thinking things through, thing that the Forum is attempting. Moreover something does not can be changed in the system. Changes of attitude count. Our system does tend towards the "poison-feeding" kind of teaching. But the student need not be content with the spoon. He can take an attitude of questioning. He can try asking questions with the professor on some of the latter's pet theories. Many professors do not mind being digested with. Campus Opinion And as the indigenous element of weather bears down upon the life of Mr. Gread, and revolution breeds out aroseful opinion! Ireland reports a dry St. Patrick's Day. Wonder if the Irish wilt was also melting? Our campus is being beautifulized; trees and shade are being planted, and rabbits cleared away. But we have another crop of which we cannot be proud. Bills and posters of every bus and car come up over night on the campus. They grow upon almost any sort of rough pine board, and flourish in the corners of the new library. POST A BILL! At any rate, the pattern which is scattered below-skirt about the campau should be included in the program for beautifying the campau, and some definite rules made for their control. True. Ultimately deeds are the criterion of worth. That is, in the eyes of western civilization and modern times, it is also important that we indulge in the expressions from the forum floor, of those attending the forum meetings, the program for discussion is arranged with that in mind. It will provide for discussion of concrete issues, such as the best way of formulating the best action now possible. One point of some little importance in this effort to "do something" must not be overlooked. Especially important is the need to defend, Feldy and Curry of the American college student is true. Sonna- A recent very fact editorial in the Kanman suggested that the worth of the K. U. Forum in its endeavor to criticize the educational system of which it is a part would be measured by the degree in which it followed its predecessor. In other words, do something was the advice of the editorial writer. All communications to the Campus Collegeション should be limited not to more than 200 words. Short messages must be accompanied by the signature of the writer and only the initials will be accepted. Letters must be in good form and his name must be used. Editor, Daily Kansan.
