Why is it so important energy watched on this campus? Preponently, students spend hours of labor making up work which is missed while they have been physically but absent mentally in class. Frequently, too many encounters create an hour of effort, which is apparently the result of mental activity, but which does not appear materially to benefit the most attentive class. Some groups of students maintain all the outward appearances of rant attention during the course of a lecture but fail utterly to absorb the content of it. Something is radically the matter. Too many sources of energy are being tapped without any percentible results. We pride ourselves on our efficiency in modern education, yet we permit a continuous waste of the most precious resources which will harm learning and learning are based. What is the matter with us? Aspiring criminals can now obtain excellent training in police forces. THERE IS NO JINX A sort of throw back to the age of superstition makes sport followers talk plainly of Old Man Jinx and explain victories and by caying one can has a jixx over the other. Perlman there are a few real fatalities who believe in omens and augur, who treasury yawns horsehoe and spend hours hunting for four-lost clover, but as most of us do not actually accept the jixs as a fact. We know in a vague way that it is equivalent of Lady luck and since such a conception furnishes a ready and all inclusive event for events we join the doole crowd of lard-warmers. These commas in superlative claim that for years Kansas held the jinx on her rival, the Kansas Aggies. Now that we have bivert two major contests to them this year the romancers have it that the Aggies hold the jinx and we are laboring under its肋伤 liance. Whatwent our sleeves? They're sure be sure but we can be certain that it is a real enge, not luck. Perhaps it is over-confidence, lack of fight, lack of team material, lack of student support or a port of failure security that we accepted in being ourselves because we had won in the past. But whatever the cause its explanation can be found in realm of reality. The Aggios have not broken the jim; for there never was one. Kansas is going to win her battle at Manhattan tonight, but no reason of the decrease of fate but rather by co-headed playing and plenty of fighting spirit. “An old-fashioned mother who rends a week-end box of eats is mighty nice.” muses a freshman, “but I can’t say I appreciate this consignment of saffron bark.” NATURE VERSUS MAN Nature had always been men's worst enemy. From the beginning of time, he has struggled constantly against it and frequently in vain. Because man is constantly struggling against the forces of nature, we view his attempts with interest and his failures with sympathy. Floyd Collins met his death in Sand Cave fighting herically against such an uncontinent power. Since it was his fate to lose, it seems most appropriate that he should have Suma Cave for his 16th. It typified not only the place of his last conflict with the Mizrahi but also that he be written on his death. His budmother is now trying to collect his brother to remove the body from the cave. This would be most unfortunate. Sand Cave is the logical restive place for Phyd Collins. It is his monument. The poetic some still lives: A packin' house with a distinctive atmosphere tells its employees to be thinnful fat they have roses ("to small) fragrant flowers." OUR PUBLIC OFFICERS When our government was formed it was deemed wise to delegate the police power in most instances to the cities. Within this police power it is the duty of the municipal administration to afford protection and safety. The police department serves this purpose well in all our cities of the ships. But when an officer of the law turns a 'hi-jacker' he is an even worse offender than an ordinary criminal. For the man in whom we have placed trust to take advantage of his position as an official representative of the state or government is more than ordinary crime. This public officer can make arrests. This with his knowledge through his official position makes it possible for him as a hi-jacker to compete very successfully. If he fails, it a difficult task for the criminal to cope with the law on the one hand and the hi-jacker on the other. He doesn't ever a shorttime chance. The recent tragedy of the East End juniper trees of Kansas City offers a concrete example of the numerous cases which have appealed throughout our country lately. Are we to conclude from this instance that cities are not capable of exercising this part of the delegated police power? Kansas City the police commission is elected by the state executive. Public officers who conspire in law-breaking jack-users should receive the severest penalty. These men in Kansas City paid the highest prices—that of life. Let it be a warning to those responsible for the fruit we have reposed in them. King George has been ordered to give up smoking. It is reported that he is taking the edict cheerfully. Maybe so, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep on eye on the royal woodhed. Campus Opinion Editor The Keeson Editor, The Kansan. The comment of J. D. M. in last night's Kanang regard the matter of student government is no trick question. If the student government that it deceived is a reply, Imancham as I have had something to do with the proposed transfer of certain responsibilities in this field it may be possible for me to attempt the task. In the first place, there are several bridges to cross before the transfer of responsibility can take place. Among those in the vote of the Council, it is clear that then it is worth knowing that the Council could exercise discipline powers only subject to the veto or approval of the Chancellor. This means that the Chancellor would carry exactly the same responsibility than the Minister, therefore, would ever directly deal with the Council when inquiring regarding any action it might have taken. Instead a parent would deal directly and only with the Chamellor as at present. The best proof of administrative sincerity in this proposal can be found in an interview with any faculty member who has ever had anything to do with discipline. I have just been reading the disciplinary manual and seen the present day. They read the history of a Thirty Year's War. I should like to remark, in passing, that four years experience with the Chancellor leads me to feel that his leadership action would do dom be exercised. During the entire period the governing power has been passed around from Chancellor to faculty committee to Student Council and nach again and finally to the Deans with never a happy home. Copy received by the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m. Vol. VI, Tuesday, February 21, 1925 No. 119.

It is my文明 conviction that for a period of time we have not handled their own affairs better than they have been handled under my direction. J. D. M.'s reference to 'detain well chosen and experienced' persons who are now responsible for this phase of campus life reads nicely and is not unappreciated. Those an administrative responsibility, however, are unanimous in their views about the quality of work better within the proposed plan than I is being done at present. "Walt, I always did think you folks up there at college were coo coo, but this is the first time that I ever heard any of you admit it!" I have been frank to say to Council members that some Council in the department gave me a power voluntarily or have given it away if I were not exercised reasonably well. There is a chance, however, and there lies my own hope for victory. I have lived over a long period of years. Certainly J. D. M. misjudges the attitude of the faculty and administers projects at the breakdown be product. In my judgment, J. D. M's basic error lies in his implicit assumption that democracy on the campus 'is not an end in itself'. While not quite correct, I agree with some students share his apparent belief that college is not life but preparation for life. Unless that failure is exposed and campus life is accepted as a chapter of reality J. D. might right in challenging our society. If, on the other hand, campus life is real then, on the "campus, democracy, student government, and honor, are full of meaning and such an experiment as this ought to challenge the heart in all of us just as another experiment has challenged the best human potential. Such an issue as this might lift student politics to a plane it has never known. Finally, the most convincing argument for the success of such a plan is the character of the student body. There is comparatively very little demanding attention and despite the unflattened weaknesses of present candidates, I believe they would be more than enough to the task. John R.
