OUR COACHES
The Department of Athletics deserves a word of commendation for the admirable way in which it has cooperated with the students in the various organization basketball leagues. When the Men's pan-henlise began its league, it asked Doctor Allen for his cooperation, and got it. He not only gave the team the gym court on three nights but he also furnished the balls to play with. Not only that but he put Coach McCarthy in charge, and there has not been a bitch in the playing of the games. It would have been very cayy for Doctor Allen to ask Varsity men or others to referee the games, but he did not do this. Coaches Schlademann and Linsidy of the department with the assistance of Rudolph Uhrlaub, have handled all of the games in an efficient manner. When coaches of the department give their time to intra-mural athletics as well as the inter-collegiate, it shows a cooperation that will give the University the final system of athletics in the middle west.
Intra-mural games will give players a chance to develop, who do not make the variety squads, and in this way the coaches will have a good opportunity to look over all the athletic material in the University. And more, such games tend to increase the general interest in all branches of sport.
Music has charms may well be applied to our state legislature. It appropriated $4,964 for the School of Fine Arts.
ARE YOU CLEVER?
Two men died recently. The friends of one made up a purse to buy a headstone for his grave, and on it they had engraved, "He Had Many Talent." It was not necessary for the friends of the other to take up any purse. His family took a modest alloy from the estate and set up an imposing monument, and on it was inscribed "Philanthropist,"
In school the philanthropist was a dumb-headed sort of chap his associates was a dill and uninterested. One of them once said he could fifty cents for fifty miles. When quarried by them as to his chosen vocation, he told them without quibbling he was going to work in a steel mill. He did it, too, and in ten years he owned the plant, and when he died, without setting the world on fire, he owned a whole series of mills.
The talented man was clever. Ready of tongue, and quick of mind, he had a reply for everyone, and it was a witty one. Brilliant of mind, he applied himself to his studies only enough to make good grades. He found
by applying himself in class he could pick up enough to satisfy the professors, and so followed the path of least resistance. When he finished college he had the choice of half a dozen promising propositions, but still following the path of least resistance, he decided to look around and see the world before he settled down. He looked around for the rest of his life, always dissatisfied with his position and looking elsewhere for a more pleasing one.
Moral—Don't swear at the half-wit who signs your pay checks. It may be he only has the gift of concentration.
The present foggy weather has caused many a student to excimin,
"My, this certainly reminds me of London."
RESPONSIBILITY
The new constitution for the men of the university has been finally accepted by the senate and will be submitted to the men for a vote of approval or rejection at an early date. This constitution is the outgrowth of the many events of last fall when there seemed to be an inability on the part of both faculty and students to stop the various violations of University laws.
It has taken several months to get a working instrument but the committee which prepared the constitution needed all of the time taken to produce a constitution that would hit the bill. The chief change in the constitution from the old instrument is the regulation and the responsibility of the Student Council in all matters of undergraduate concern. Of course there are several phases in which the Council and the W. S. G. A. have joint control. But the big thing that must be pointed out to very student who wants the control of student affairs is the matter of responsibility. By regulating the men must also be responsible and every man voting in favor of the constitution should be prepared to stand back of the spirit and letter of the document.
Some of those fraternity basketball scores look suspiciously like football scores.
INTERNATIONLAISM
There has been a great amount of talk of the students coming out of their provincial shell and taking up some of the growing problems of national and international life that are facing every thoughtful citizen of today. The college graduate, naturally fitted for leadership in his community, should be informed on some of the phases of international events. Two talks within the next week enable every man to increase his knowledge on the conditions ovesse and in the orient. Dr. Kenneth Saunders, a graduate of Cambridge University, England, who was with the troops of India during the war and has made an extensive study of life in India, will address the Noonday Lunch con Club Thursday on "Buddham in the Orient."
Dr. Sherwool Eddy is the other man who will address K. U. students, Sunday, February 15. Dr. Eddy spent 18 years in India and has made a trip around the world since the armistice. He will inform the students of his impressions of the conditions in the various countries he visited.
The Faculty finally slipped one over on the students. It has elected its members to the Million Dollar Drive Committee while the students have not yet done so.
THE EAST SUGGESTS
From the Harvard Endowment Fund Committee, collecting upwards of fifteen millions of dollars from the friends of the great eastern institution to provide for the adequate payment of faculty members and other necessary reforms, conces the results of the collections and attempted collections from the different friends and acquaintances of the university. The results might offer suggestions to our promoters and workers for our own "Elseblair" plan for the collection of a single million dollars.
nearly twelve millions of dollars were contributed in the first four
months of the campaign. One and one half millions was collected from men and women not connected with the university, or connected only through relatives. More than half of the twenty odd thousand men in the College have contributed toward the fund and three thousand out of sixteen thousand of the Graduate school have contributed.
The percentage of donations from the alumun by classes showed that the classes from 1800 to 1900 showed the largest donations. This was explained by two facts, that these classes are now at their physical prime, between thirty-five and forty-five years of age, and that now their sons are just in the university or about to enter. In the class of 1852, all five living members contributed for a percentage of 100 per cent.
The whole campaign proves that among the alumni of a university there is an interest and loyalty which can be relied upon to support financially the college and the cause of education.
The campaign further proves that men and women who have no college affiliations have a deep-seated belief in the value of education to the country. No individual can entirely deny the responsibility toward the colleges. Every individual, whether a college graduate or not, uses doctors, lawyers, engineers, experts of all kinds, in his daily life. Without this professional class, life would be very different. Mr. Frick and Mr. Rockerfeller have amply shown their belief in the educational institutions of the country.
It is of the greatest importance that the needs of higher education should be realized by every citizen. The campaign carried on by many colleges have contributed greatly to this end. The financial crisis which is facing our universities has made many realize for the first time their enormous asset value to the United States.
The Harvard campaign will continue until the more than three millions of dollars needed to complete the and is collected.

To the Editor of the Daily Kannan:
Sir: It has come to my notice that the common garden variety of love feast at this University is becoming ever growing proportion of the serious minded students. By love feast in this connection I mean the orgy which takes place when the aspiring student engages his or her prof in a post notification class discussion.
Why coin a half cent when the cen is worth only half a cent now?
A. Nocker Wood.
"Husband, that Chinese visitor seems deeply interested in our Chinese room."
Insofar as these pre- or post-claustic discussions serve to clarify double difficulty they are, of course, natural, logical and commendable and cannot be classed as love feasts. But insofar as they partake of the nature of harangue, insofar as they become an effort to bolster poor classwork by plattitudinal discussion, and insofar as they become a mere lore feast of harangue, insofar as distasteful but also a positive wrong to the submerged majority, who may have a reasonable practical difficulty to be ironed out before the next class. Verily, all is vanity. Vanity, harangue, wind—aye, there's the rub—and I for one, say "dawn the rubber" with a wholesome regard, respect even by his garrulous bubbler, but he could see himself as others hear him he would shrink until the sweatband of his cap would suffice to make him a leather coat for winter wear. He would be constrained to hold his piece, or speak it in solitude to the lowly pebbles that he has to walk around. Coco bryggarkt that he is, he insults the prof by presuming to interest him with his empty prattle. But the prof. his vanity flattered, or his pity隳ed, tolerates the bunk. Poor caiving crow, I hope he may some day get a frog in his throat, and like

PERISH THE PROCTOR!
The University of Pennsylvania may be congratulated upon Isadapion of the honor system by the overwhelming vote of 2500 to 100 by the step Pennsylvania adds one more name to the steadily increasing list of colleges coming out squerely in favor of what might be called professional honor in undergraduate work. William and Mary College argue priority among the American educational institutions, and the system an integral part of their unious use there since the latter part of the 18th century. The University of Virginia and West Point consider the system an integral part of their undergraduate training; for it was immediately colleges long before the Civil War.
Princeton, most similar to Dartmouth in size, undergraduate life, and traditions has successfully followed the honon system for a number of years. And now Pennsylvania, a university of over 3000 enrollment, follows the question which cannot but rise: "Who next, Dartmouth?"
There can be little doubt that some change is needed in our system, or rather lack of system. Its ineffectiveness is ridiculed daily. Its farinal nature is common knowledge among undergraduate and faculty alike. Its ineffectiveness is so apparent that it is gradually eroding grave. The average undergraduate feels restless at last under the constant surveillance of examiners. Continual suspicion is the surreest breed of dishonesty, and puts a premium upon the ability to "get away with it." The Dartmouth approaches the question from no sentimental angle. We consider the present hawapasshard college, but we do not be tolerated when the student leaves College to compete in the business world. We should award the present system a mark of zero, in usefulness to the undergraduate and to the instructor. It falls distinctly to inculcate that spirit of fair play and manliness brid by the honor system. The New York Sun in commenting upon the apparently apity aptitude recorded in its favor, 2900 to 100, insures its success, for it has never failed in any institution where undergraduate support supported it unreservedly." Thus it is a personal matter and is entirely up to the undergraduate. If they desire it, and express that desire by popular vote, little doubt need be harbored but that it will gradually glacify existence." The Dartmouth.
