FRIDAY. APRIL 4. 1924 Clarice thinks it did a lot of good to number her ballot and then cut the number right off. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? Now that the elections are over we're beginning to wonder what it's all about. We've elected officers of the W. S. G. A., the Men's Student Council, the College and the School of Engineering. We've elected an editor and a business manager for the Jayhawkter, too, and a cheerleader, but the function of these officers is self-evident. If we've to have an annual some one must edit and manage it, and if we're going to cheer someone must lead us. But the purpose of the other officer filled by Hill elections is not so plain to everybody. We have to have a Student Council and a W. S. G. A. everyone insists, because we always have had. Very good. Probably we do. But the great majority of the student body would be at a loss if asked to recount just what either of these student legislative bodies has done this year. They might remember that the council adopted a new constitution, although they probably couldn't tell anything that was in it. At least the ludicrously small number of men who attended the "mass meeting" which adopted it, signifies that the students in general didn't consider it extremely vital. And the women of the University would be doing well if they could tell you anything about the Women's Self-Overcoming Association except that it tries to enforce the date rule. The fault does not lie with the legislative organizations. They go about their work concisionately, and they perform quite efficiently what little governing of student affairs is really necessary. They err if they are at all on the side of over-supervision and too much legislation. They do their duty almost too well. They might mention the point system, although very few have tried intelligently to decide whether it is a constructive piece of legislation or paternal interference in individual affairs. The trouble with self-government at K. U. is that the great mass of the students take no trouble to comprehend what the need for student government really is, what they are electing officials for, and what the representatives they choose do after they are chosen. Hill elections are degenerating into popularity contests. Why not know for what you're voting as well as for whom? Professors may receive curious mail, as a Kansan headline asserts, but we'll wager there's one kind with the dean's return on the envelope that they never get. Dr. Smith Issues Warning—headline. And so did the Dean, says Aristides Jones, when he got his midsemester grades. Hill politics always give some hint as to the ownership of the numerous dogs that roam on the campus. We find out whether their owners are Pachacamac or Black Mask by the tags the dogs wear. Home is not what it used to be. There are no candidates bursting into the room every five minutes. Next to wondering what they are going to do with all the dirt in front of the new Library the most popular question these days is, "When you break out in a straw?" NEEDED. A RESCUER Diagesce, shine up the lanter Someone must come to the rescue an find an honest man. Congress simp' won't let it that there be a singl one leave it. Someone to the rescue. At each session of an investigation committee another name is hurled 'into the boiling cauldron of oil, another man's worth reputation is dragged into the murk and trampled upon. Fallacious rumors and uncertain reports toll the death knell of an innocent name. The American people with their craving for the startling revealed at first in the front page newspaper gossip, malicious or not. They "oh'd" and "ah'd" and held up their hands in horror at the "scandalous dolings" in the government. They hoped that the culprits would be sought out and punished. As the number of character lynchings continued and the maze of complications increased much of the reading public became lost and muddled. Then there was a time when they were afraid at their seemingly rotten and fragile government. Would it last or fall in decay? Now the American public is disgusted. The investigators have gone round in circles enough. Right no they are doing little else than destroy a certain amount of necessary reverence for the national government without correcting the existing evil. The public wants the much-raking o cease. They want to hear of honest men's doings. The clock in Blake hall was only five minutes slow a few days ago. One of the pigeons failed to root upon the hands the night before. A REMINDER TO THE VOTING COMMITTEE The newly elected members of the student council should put one thing in their hat right now, so that they will be able to produce it early next fall when election time comes. The voting polls for the college could not support the crowds who desired to vote. In order to vote one had to stand in line an hour and watch the more forward students push in at the head of the line. It is doubtful if there is a pulling place in the state of Kansas where so many persons vote at a place so poorly equipped for handling the crowds. Two men were selected to take care of all the students desiring to vote. As a result dozens turned away without bothering to vote at all. There is probably nothing corrupt about the situation as in boars rising voting places of a big city where the lines are stuffed on purpose in order to keep certain people from voting; but here in the University of Kansas, politics is not so important. Fifteen minutes is all the time that anyone should spend in voting. The new student council should bear this fact in mind, when it comes election time next fall. Give the students a chance to vote without making them labor to do so. — Politeness in Films—headline. Next thing you know they will be expecting us to be polite to our inconsiderate profs. I grow bitter, Like a guarded and stunted tree, Bearing harshly of my gouth Packered fruit that sews the mount SCRUB I) I have drawn boughs an inhospitable house, Out of which I never pry. Towards the water and the sky, Under which I stand and hide and hears the day go by outside; It is that a wind too strong Bent my back when I was young, It is that I fear the rain Lest it blister me again. —Edna St. Vincent Millay.
