TYPES OF COURSES
In interpreting the various courses given on the Hill, the students have divided them into two classes, the snap and the stiff course. Ordinary students pay attention to what they want to take during their school year instead of spending days and nights in figuring out a snap course so that more time may be spent in consuming the movie downtown or in dating the fair one.
But some of the men and women go so far as to only take eight or ten hours of easy work so that their time may be more efficiently devoted to the art of dating, the movie, and good old leafing.
Now the primary purpose of the people of the state in putting an institution here was for imparting knowledge, and those students who are here simply to be here should not be tolerated by the university. The course in which they are enrolled, namely, the movie, dates, and loafing, can be taken as easily at home as in Lawrence, without the overhead of living away from home.
The average University class is made up of two types of students: Those who scramble for front row seats and those who don't.
APSORBING THE OVERFLOW
ABSORBING THE OVERFLOW
Corresponding to the increase in the number of students enrolled in the University this year has come an expansion of the various classes and especially in the Department of Economics. In several classes the enrollment hinges around the one hundred mark and the capacity of the class room is strained. In at least one subject, English History, students have been barred because of the incapacity of the classrooms and the shortage of instructors.
This violent growth, which is reflected in every department in the University, must necessarily mean a gradual departure from the personal to the formal in the mode of instruction. This is a condition which ought to be deployed. It is found easier to imbibe the facts in a moderately sized class capable of informal discussion than a large class where the lecture system is emphasized.
In a class with an enrollment of more than one hundred there is little opportunity for the student to take an active part in the discussion. The time allotted to the course means that the instructor must hurry over the points involved without much time for a class exchange of opinion. The personality of the student is checked. He becomes a part of an audience rather than a fellow student and he loses his personal interest in the problems presented.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
one trouble is in the vision of the legislators at Topeka. The growth of the University, anticipated by anyone who could interpret the simplest signs, is becoming fact and the growth of classroom and instructors has not kept pace. The majority report of the committee, which visited the University from the legislature two years ago, that class room space was plentiful, indicates the lack of foresight which is impending healthy growth. The salary paid to University instructors is the second point of similar evidence.
If the present pace has become standardized the Administration Building, when completed, will take care only of the natural overflow of students and again there will be no room for expansion except by increased classes and overburdened instructors. Under happier conditions available class rooms and well paid instructors will be the stimulus for healthy growth instead of the present forced growth resulting from crowded quarters.

WE NOMINATE
The question of the next president of the United States has occupied a great deal of conversation and newspaper space during the last six months. A large number of the prominent and capable citizens of the country have been discussed pro and con, and where the pro prevailed over the "con" to any certain extent, a "boom" was started forth.
There is but one man prominent in the eyes of the country a capable, efficient, and popular, who has not been brought up as a prospective popular nominee. This man, so far overlooked by the two predominating political parties, would be one of the greatest vote-gaining factors that an organization could have in gaining control of the national administration. His instant and unerringly accurate actions in the most prominent of situations, have gained him the approval of the country. His speedy actions, always resulting for the best, have been proved to be planned out in advance, and together with his skillful execution have been instrumental in winning his financial and moral success throughout the country.
For president, then, we wish to nominate Pete.
For president, then, we wish to nom inate Douglas Fairbanks.
Mr. Fairbanks has long been known as a champion of fearless Americanism. His views on constitutional prohibition and the League of Nations have not yet been made public, but this is an unimportant trifle, as these questions will not be settled, apparently, for a decade or so. In several of his pictures, he has subdued from ten to twenty Mexicans alone and unaided, so his action in the Mexican situation, if elected, would undoubtably not be one of "watchful waiting." Under questioning, he will probably declare in favor of "clean shaves for everybody," and by carrying out this program, would completely disrupt the present revolutionary campaign of the Red radicals.
The Honorable Fairbanks would not be a "favorite son" candidate. He is a favorite of the entire nation, the newly-enfranchised women especially, not as a son, but as an imaginary and ideal sweetheart. Another thing in his favor is that he is an actor. Nearly every other vocation in the country has had a representative in the presidential chair at one time or another. Farmer, lawyer, college professor, woodchopper, soldier, shee cobler, all have their innings, and the country is awaiting eagerly the advent of the Thepian as "first man of the country."
The monetary compensation would be quite a descent for Mr. Fairbanks, but he might be able to work part time on his movies, and even double in his duties as chief executive, and in man of the matinees.
Let the slogan be "Everybody knows Doug," and elect him on a platform of "Fairbanks for Fairness."

versity is the student who is studying

BESIDES MOVIES, WE HAVE
The health authorities of the University have seen fit to place restrictions on the social life of the University by reason of a large increase in cases of influenza reported in Lawrence. They have asked that students curtail their meetings and dances as far as possible.
Meetings were held last night Many of the organizations had immediate business to transact, and the meetings had been called before the baa went into effect. These are excusable, but further meetings should not be planned by University people, in fairness and consideration toward their fellows, and—inidentally, themselves.
Self-love and the gratification of the social instinct, will undoubtedly lead to a great deal of grumbling, but a realization of the necessity of the protection of the community against the dreaded disease will quiet this among the more sensible.
Activities are not completely shut off. There are games scheduled for nearly every night, games in which nearly everyone has acquaintances competing in fast and exciting mix-ups. The Lawrence High School five, which has won all of its eight games so far, has two more games scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights in Haskell Gymnasium, and will put an entertainment worthy of many college teams
It's too bad, that we can't have all the dances and movies we want, but in a case like this, we must just don our most agreeable grin, and "bear it."
Kansas has the opportunity in the vacancies of both chancellor of the University and dean of the law school to take a step forward by the selection of men of the highest training
The Chancellor and Dean of K. U.
for these capitally important cancer.
Neither competent chancellors nor deanates full of them, and salary is not of first significance in these selections either to the University or to the man. Minnesota University has announced three of its regents that the salary for deans will be increased search for chancellor. They will pay any figure that may be necessary.
Progressive universities have in late years notably given greater prestige to their law schools by the character of their deans. Some deans, and today law school deans like Rocose Poole of Harvard, formerly of Chicago, Vance of Minnesota, Hall of Chicago, Bates of Michigan, Swan
if Yale and others are known not only to the American bar but to the American public.
A man of that type should be available and should be found for K. U., a trained educator and not merely a lawyer or a lawyer retired from practice.
The opportunity of filling these two high positions with men of administrative and educational records and reputations ought not to be lost because of salary or any extrinsic consideration.
Kansas is a great, growing wealthy and prosperous community, with a university which directly touches the lives every year of thousands of its best young men and women. No educator in the land is too good either for its chancellor or the head of its law school.

NINE cases out of ten, the man who once smokes a WDC Pipe becomes a life member of the WDC club. He can't help it, because a WDC is certainly a man's size smoke. It's as sweet and mellow as carefully selected French briar and expert seasoning can make it. Not only material of the first water, but craftsmanship of the highest order, and designs that are most pleasing—all combine to make the WDC Pipe a smoke of peace, contentment and satisfaction. A man's smoke. Any good dealer will confirm this.
