WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1924 A professor at John Carroll Uni- versity is advancing a new language. That's nothing. Every "young hopeful" does the same thing. WE POINT WITH PRIDE . . . Of course we always had a tiny sapoon that the University Daily Kansas was a pretty good paper, but we were pleased to notice last week that other state papers are beginning to think so well. The Weekeyan Advance, weekh publication of the Kansas Weekeyan University at Salina, published—although they didn't call it that—what may be considered a Kansan edition March 27. In it were reprised from the Kansan an editor, a feature story, an editorial paragraph, and even a poem by Aline Kilmer which the Kansan had printed on the editorial page. The only thing which hurts our pride a trifle in this whole recognition of our journalistic worth is the fact that the editor of the Advance did not seem to consider it worth while to mention the source of these several articles. In fact most of their readers could only assume that they originated in the editorial offices of the Wesleyan Advance. But the worst of it was that they even left Mrs. Kimeer's name off the poem. The Advance must believe in anonymity. A Kansas City lawyer bought some thing oriental yesterday—a railroad it seems—or was it a Mah Jongg set? ONE NEWSPAPER OR MANY? The recent merger of the New York Herald with the New York Tribune has caused various comment in the newspapers. But The Nation says the tendency toward larger and fewer newspapers "is a trend which has the most serious consequences for the community," The Boston Transcript and the Chicago Tribune are among the greater body of papers which think that the move is beneficial, and the desire of public opinion. The question then, whether the competition in large cities which is driving newspapers to consolidation is making a better product for the public, is supported on both sides. Should there be an organ for each interest party, cred, locality, and faction, should one strong newspaper, giving all the news in an unbiased manner be the only survivor? Surely there are arguments in its favor. During the recent printers' strike in New York several of the larger papers of the city were combined for several editions. The effect upon the public was not dangerous. Since the average person does not have time to read more than one newspaper a day, perhaps it would be to the advantage if all the facts, and all the interpretations of the facts could be given to him through one strong newspaper, and leave him to form his own opinions. On the contrary if the organ is to have a dictated policy from the counting room, from a corrupt political party, or adhere to some of the sights that are evident in journalism today the result will be anti-social. 1. What is the first word of this paragraph? 2. What is the second word of this paragraph? 3. What is the third word of this paragraph? Government Sound at the Core- Headline. Maybe so but it takes con- siderable probing to locate the core The old query "How could a poet come out of Kansas" seems to have been answered again by a statement of one of the judges in the annual poetry contest conducted by the Kanese Authors' Club. The comment was "It was an extraordinarily good group of poems to have come in a context limited by the boundaries of n. single state. From the poetical point of view there is certainly nothing the matter with Kansas." KANSAS POETRY After all, where did that conception of the incongruity of Kansas and poetry ever arise? Certainly not from one who ever stood on Mount Grendel and looked out into the blue bary distances. The natural beauty which should be the inspiration of poets is certainly not lacking in this part of Kansas at least. Kansas has had her pots—marry of them. None may have been a singer of international fame, perhaps, but who can say when with such a ring may come, endowed with the heritage of Kansas' romantic history and present beauty. He may be sitting beside you in one of your classes now. Perhaps he that quiet follow the professor's question started from a day dram on the other day. Who knows? But Kansas and K. U. are waiting for their poet. Dok says let's have peace and he is investigated. Grant was greatly honoured for the same remark. Campus Opinion Explanation of the Point System > the students: Tomorrow at the regular election you will be given an opportunity to express either your approval or disapproval of the point system for men an passed by the Men's Student Council. As yet you have had no opportunity to learn just what the system is and p w it works. This article is to provide the point system and its location in the application, in order to determine your sand on this important question. There is no justification for a point system unless it serves a need and has a definite purpose. A point system will: 1. Give freshmen ample chance for expression yet still protect them from overloading and will give them a chance to get properly balanced in their work and know what they want to make their major interest. It may make the freshmen less the activist that the freshman is having difficulty in keeping his grades up to standard. But wouldn't this be more desirable than to have individuals load up with activities, to the extent, that they will be forced to drop them due to inelegibility. On the other hand there are those who can make their grades and carry activities at the same time. This group will be greatly benefited by having them entire time to one or two major activities, they can do more efficient work. 2. In will give upperclassmen protection from being overloaded. At present, certain men are continually forced to do things that they know they should not. If a person shows the evidence of an example of his inability he is the one that the faculty, as well as the students, are continually asking to work on this committee or to help put a certain campaign across. With out present system he feels that he is bound to do what he has the privilege obvlgjkgjkg can. But with the point system he has the privilege obvlgjkgjkg can. With all the activities and all that there is a link to what he is allowed to take part in. One coach on this campus has said, "The distribution of our activities over a larger number of students should be the aim. Our college life should tend to develop a well-rounded character in its students. This course will not only utilize us, we encourage a greater number of students to participate." Some persons have said that a point system is not needed here, but any careful observer of conditions cannot say this, for it is a known fact that the activities of the camper are compiled by comparatively few people. The point system will not prevent athletes from taking part in other activities, as some seem to have the impression when the system was crest talked of. It will not keep an individual from holding two capitals at one time. Some have the false impression that if a student has reached the maximum that he has reached the end of his rope. But he has not, for, if he gives a chance to run for an important office, then it is successful; and if he is successful in securing this office, he can withdraw from minor activities. An individual may have at any one the time the Limit prescribed for his class. This means that a student may continually take on new activities which seem to offer him a better opportunity for service, if, at the same time, he drops those things which seem unimportant to his future work. One objection to the point system has and that this is parental legislation. This statement is entirely correct, but it does not feel that the point system PACIHACAM NEWS THE TICKET Bob was "Ham" first lieutenant last fall at all the football games he is upon his unions as the saying goes. He has the old school spirit and fight, besides he has the ability as was shown last fall. Those who know Bob personally maintain that he is a combination of "Sandy" and "Ham", who know Bob well, the very person to help him, lends goal line unscored. Pacachanum honestly believes that the voter will not go wrong in supporting Bob. Harold "Bob" Roberts President ... J. B. Engle First Vice President ... Tom Poor Second Vice President Alex Kemmys Secretary ... Floyd McCaddi Treasurer ... Homer Smith Cheer Lender Harold "Homer" Roberts REPRESENTATIVES would satisfy a dire need, have passed the system now before you. This has been done entirely by the students at their own initiative.

Morning ATHLETIC BOARD REPRESENTATIVES Engineering School "Bill" Rice Ladow "Doc" Johnson Fred Holderman "Tus" Ackerman The first essential for a representative from any group is that he be familiar with the problems that confront the group which he represents. To be able to make an analysis of said problems and to settle them in a way that they stay settled. To be fair in all matters and to be willing to take suggestions is also necessary. In he name of Wm. "Snouse" Arden, he is a professor at Montgomery, a leader in the Men's Student Council; Hubert Forney, vice-president of economics majors; "Bob" Mosby, football and basketball star; Verne Engle, basketball man; Clarence "Bob" Enyard, member of College Non-Athletic April 5,1924. the Owls, junior honorary organization; and Kunth, trumth. president of the junior class, the Pacinacamie party can considerably say that they have been a record and live as representative as any group that could be picked. School of Engineering As a man who has worked his way through school to a large extent and who at the same time makes A grades we back and support Lynn A. Hibbs as representative from the School of Engineering. Lynn was recently elected to Tau Bita Pp, honorary scholastic fraternity, which needs no explanation as to the qualifications for membership. Hibba is a candidate who carefully considers all questions relating to teaching them carefully and deciding them on their merits. It is for this reason that Hibba is one of the three best men for representative on the Men's Student Council. Walter Rising as the next repre sentative is known to more men in the School of Engineering than any other one man. Why? In the first place he is a hard worker, ranking above his hawkman campaign. Walt has also been a consistent worker in Y. M. C. A. and Stadium Union campaigns for the last two years. He was also on the Juyhawk staff, and staff of the Kansas Engineer. To back up this record Rising was chosen by his peers at the meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. His ability to handle the position is unquestioned, be it the best man for the place. A few facts about L. C. Long for the third representative from the School of Engineering. To be able to represent your school in the most efficient manner, you must know the names of all your classmates who come up, and how know to meet those same *stations* in a clear-cut definite manner. It is Long's judgment in regard to student problems that has made him an outstanding figure in his school, and has made him one of the best bets in three for representative. What he! The runners enter the start! Iagmomn, my eyes are poor. Who is that gent that is leading? From the program, I guess it is the Engle or else it is James. Let me say they are supposed to be the captains. THE DAY'S NEWS Boy, what a nice! That team with the yaller suits seem to be a sweet bunch of steppers. And the gas gw with the black shirt is stayin' in the door to the back down to the finish so we can be in on the high yellin'. Come on, Josie. This politics looked like a two-mile dug at first, but it's getting now so it appears more like a humbled-yard dish. Perhaps its been baked in the oven and is cleaned off. Mind mince browning, for friend and foe adjacency. The Pacchacone office has been filled for two day, with guests who are behind this system of grading the grades and making them wear uniforms. At first we thought it was a joke, but despite the many course and unadhikely large' which fill the atmosphere we can see where those instructors dos-pose 'em, are going to get it and give it good. All that's bad is that you were not in that was that in the back end of the ball that yelled no.' You better water out, gut. Don't you know any better than to laugh at a bird that is only doing his best to give the poor suffering students their rights? Vorne Engle and Bob Moody, two of the championship basketball five, will prove their worth in office. Both are well known to the students; and solicit your vote solely upon their past performance and qualifications and on their real worth and character. Bill Rice, the ruin't tennier' twit that always has something put to say and the same follow that rocked the house as "Red in Betty Lot" has more good ideas to the minute than any other man on the hill. And he can put them across. "Doc" Johnson, one of the best known men in the student body, considering the comparatively short time he has been here, makes friends wherever he goes. "Doc" is the man who won the recent interschool admissions competition and has one of the finest records on the Jayhawk staff, holding with efficiency the office of administration editor. Johnson and Rice will be in there fighting. SCHOOL OFFICES College Just a few facts about Wm. F Greaser for president and Norman "Duckle" Miller for vice president. The students they are known to the student body as go-getters, to work at any time for the betterment of the University or the good of their class. They will appreciate and are worthy of admiration. For the office of secretary-treasurer no better could be found than Frances Patterson. Her past record is above reproach. She is competent in every sense of the word, and is well fitted to fill the position in a capable man- Engineering School For president the School of Engineering wants a man who is conscientious, a hard worker, a man who can stand on both feet, say what he means with the executive ability to back it up. As a man who can ill fill the void in the department, he has been a professor of Kappa Eta Kappa, honorary electrical engineering fraternity. He is an officer in Kappa Eta Kappa and has done his work in a straight-forward, efficient manner. Sife Arce Aha has been in school he has given his whole hearted support to the School of Engineering, and has done every single thing that goes for him, the front, and to place K. U. in the top ranks of Universities. As the man who can best fill this position we heartily endorse Arlo as the man for the place. Athletic Board Can there be found on the campus anywhere three more deserving athletes who have as clean a record behind them, than "Tac" Ackerman, Fred Holderman and "Babe" Smith? We really believe in them. For these men are known to the student body as being good clean athletes who have taught hard for their school both on the home ground and in foreign countries; same thing it they are elected to this office. If you, the voter, can do those men any good tomorrow they will surely appreciate it. The men who are running as non athletic members are "BILL" and Lidow "Doc" Johnson. They were picked because they are known for their playful and university at heart, "BILL" played the part of "Red" in *Betty Lot* and Pachacamac believes that he is the logical man for the place, "Doc" is the man that makes the greatest number of Jaywalker made bet fall off. And they are men who do things for the good of the University. Just a word about "Dale" Martin *President of the School of Engineering.* As a man who backs up his word, a man who is respected by all who know him, well liked, and a good student. "V., D." is a member of Sigma Gamma Epsilon professional mining and geology fraternity, in which the men are chosen on their north and the work on their south. Martin and he are doing at the present time. Martin is a hard worker, and a man who will welcome suggestions from other students, and fighting any measure which will not tend toward the unbuilding of the University. Randell De Belt Albert Larson is a non-fraternity man and is backed enthusiasmily by all that know him as the candidate most capable of handling secretary-treasurer of the School of Engineering, where he has been serving and has been doing good work. He has a pleasing personality, has had experience as secretary in other organizations, is a good mixer, and stands for what is out and above board. We can honestly say that we are the best-selling arm is the man for the office. The school of Pharmacy will speak for itself tomorrow at the polls, in regard to Randall. He is the one man in this school that is posted on the affairs of his school besides he knows everybody and is well liked. Randell will make an ideal representative. Chas. Fitzgerald "Fifth," is known to the members of his school as being a hard worker and a lover of fair play. He will uphold himself in the face if he is elected to represent his school. Ray Preyer Ray is a member of the middle class in the school of law. He has taken an active part in the activities of his own school and the University at large. In these said activities he was very grateful to Ray, who cannot go wrong if you support Ray for representative from the School of Law. "Don" Hetler Don is one of the few men in the graduate school who take an active part in the graduate club. He should be the logical man to represent that school in the council, as he is very broad minded and level headed and is always on the lookout to try and help the University. ANNOUNCEMENT Harke ye would be or want to be politicians or fans, be sure and come to Myera hall this evening at 7:30 and ye will be royally entertained by "Brain English" orchestra, a "daze" real excitement with some real excitement. "Jake" J. B. Engle Everybody knows what J. B. Engle, or "Jake," has accomplished as chairman of the social committees for the Varsity dancers. His success in the dance world has been nurtured by the student body as successful to the last degree. "Jake" is also a member of the Kanan board which chooses for their members only those who are outstanding in the department. But more important, "Jake" has had previous council experience, and has proven himself to be the man for president. He fought for, and supported the point system which has been endorsed by the student dancers. You can make no mistake in voting for "Jake"; he has big executive ability to handle the job. Tom Poor Alex Kennedy When the voter comes to the office of first vice president of the council, he will make no mistake in looking into the record of Tom Poor. After this, done this Pachumare feels confident that Tom will receive another vote. Alex Kennedy is one of the biggest if not the biggest man on the west end of the campus, i. e. He is a leader in the Engine School. When there is big thing to be put across in the Engine School, it is the first man to be called. He has recently been elected to Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity. Alex promises to give his best if he is elected to the office of second vice president of the council. Floyd "Mac" McComb When it comes to Secretary there is no question in our minds or the minds of anyone who knows McCormick or "Mae" as to his qualifications and ability to handle the job in an era where success has been eceptiomally good and shows that he is taking an active part in University activities and is actively supporting all constructive measures for the benefit of the University administrator, winning first in the Stadium Union drive; he is also on the Kansan board, and has held positions on the Sunday Kansan staff. He is editor of the Lawrence section of the Jayhawker, and is known by all for his square dealing. You cannot go wrong by giving "Mae" your vote. Homer Smith for Treasurer Homer Smith for Treasurer As for Treasurer, Homer Smith, editor of the Sour Owl has all the ear-marks of the right man for the right job. He has handled the position for years. The best man, a manner, is a good student, well well, and considers carefully all details of a proposition and forms his judgment according to the merits of the case. He is level-leaded and through-going, which are among the foremost qualifications for treasurer. I want to thank the voters for what support that they can give to the weavers of the Pachasamitan tag during this election. Also I want to thank everyone for the port that they have given in past elections. I am, Sincerely. Jack Hefling, Cam. Mgr.
