A MOVE FOR DEMOCRACY
Self-government by the men of the University through a responsible body known as the "Associated Men of the University of Kansas," is the fundamental principle of the new constitution drawn up by the constitutional committee of the Men's Student Council and up for adoption by the Senate Tuesday night.
PUTTING IT INTO ACTION
The new constitution should be adopted in that it delegates to the mon students themselves, power over those affairs which tarity belong to them. The power of control and regulation of student functions, up to a certain limit, should lie directly with the students and not with a governing body whose non-student representatives can never expect to know the real student sentiment.
One of the best possibilities to put into action and deeds the spirit of the "K. U. First" movement is offered in the County Club idea. These clubs have a great opportunity to do effective missionary work among prospective students of their own counties during the Christmas vacation. A banquet given in honor of the high school seniors of the county furnishes an excellent means of filling these prospective students with the K. U. enthusiasm and informing them of the nature of the courses of study they may obtain and the life of the school.
A few of these clubs have already been organized but only a small part of those that will be necessary to effectively cover the field. The remaining two weeks should be alive with activity in organizing these different county clubs. Upperclassmen should take the initiative, speak with one or two others from their county, decide on a meeting place and advertise a meeting to organize.
The following suggestion as to committees which might be appointed will aid in the promotion of a banquet:
Appoint a banquet committee to arrange for the time, place and eats The women of some church probably would be glad to serve the banquet at a nominal cost.
A program and entertainment committee should arrange for toast responses from representatives of the alumni, students, and high school representatives. After the banquet it might promote a "Round Table" conference at which each member of the club interviews some senior about the particular line of work which he desires to follow.
A financial committee should be appointed to determine the cost of
the banquet and how many high
many high school seniors and alumni will be present. Appoint an alumni co-operation to get the names from the alumni to alumni. Alumni ASSOCIATE can can be present and endeavor to secure their co-operation.
An invitation committee should be appointed to get the names of all high school seniors before school closes and after receiving information as to the time and place of the banquet send them personal invitations.
Possibly some of the clubs will not $>$ large enough to have more than one person on a committee but if that person will assume entire responsibility so much the better. The plan may cost the members a dollar or more, but they can make no better contribution for the sake of "K. U. First."
A Chicago hotel recently made a substantial reduction in its charges. The manager explained it thus: "We've had three or four mighty prosperous years, and now we are prepared to operate at cost for a few months. Probably the hotel will gain as much in advertising as it oases in profit." We hope so. Wouldn't it be nice if the LaSalle owned a few coal mines?
KEEPING UP MORALE
The morale of the University is being seriously affected by the present unsettled condition of affairs. At the beginning of the year it was expected that the University would get back into the old routine of pre-war days and establish a precedent for future enrollments, activities and good grades. But a good beginning has been hatched by a nation-wide coal strike which has called many men away from their work. The students are generally restless in view of the fact that they feel school may be forced to close.
Study is neglected to talk over the possibility of closing and to read and discuss the happenings at the mines where the University men are lending their aid. Naturally, less interest is given to every-day affairs.
To have this year broken into as the past three years have been will be a great disappointment to everyone concerned; but so far there is no certainty that it will be. As long as possible every member of the University should do all in his power to keep things on the same scale with which school was begun.
The critical coal situation should not be allowed to interfere too much with the regular school activities.
Mental Lapses

He was looking for a good canine companion and had answered an advertisement in the newspaper. The following conversation ensued:
"You advertise a sensible dog for sale?"
"Yeo."
"What do you mean by a sensible dog?"
"This pup has never had a ribbon around his neck and have never ridden in a lounge chair the day he was born. He's a happy-hearted, bone-burying, cut-chasing, 100 per cent dog." — Houston Post.
"Aw, father doesn't want a day Give him a night off."—K. C. Journal
Husband—I've got only one ambition left in life now.
"Now there's some talk of a Father's day."
Husband—To see a woman take a cork out of a bottle without pushing it in.
An English regiment on its way to India stopped at Aden, but not noting how arid the place looked few went nahore. An officer observed an Irish sergeant of his company leaning over the ship's aide, grazing intently at the town.

"Well, Pat, and what do you think of Aden?" the officer inquired.
"Well sort," was the unexpected answer, "what Adam an' Aave iver saw in such a place bates me."

Mother, being practical as well as artistic, will enjoy using a luncheon set every day if she can have one like those displayed in the north window at Weavers. They have the appearance of imitation leather but oil cloth is probably a closer guess. Anyway, they can be easily cleaned without getting greasy. The cost of a set of one large and two plate dishes is $1.50. They come in attractive designs of green and white or blue and white.
HEALTH IN THE AIR
Cousin Mary lives out in the state where she does not have such a wide variety from which to select little finishing touches to her costume. Something of your selection with evidences of your own workmanship will please her immensely. A hand made bag hand set into a carved silver hat and a sleeveless will delight her. Such a soft cover is expensive as you like. The silver frame costs for $2.50 and the cost of ribbon or velvet pieces varies. Lovely metal brocaded ribbons are $8.00 a yard if you care to be elaborate.
If brother Harry belongs to two Greek letter fraternities a unique gift would be a set of silver cuff links carrying both crests or monograms on each link. The two faces of each link make such arrangement possible. And the Burr Patterson man is on the Hill now, taking orders.

Here is a tip—a pair of jeweled hair pins and has placed her in where her ears ought to be will show you to resize her weight of years and importance, and will not be so elaborate but what her mother will let her wear them to parties and in the evenings. Of course it will never do for her to go to school no matter how badly she needs to show them off. The two department stores and jewelry stores carry these pins in various designs.
The suggestion by an English physician that airships be used as sanitation in the treatment of tuberculosis has led to it. In combating the tuberculosis instrument, an emnical practice has all but abandoned drugs. It depends largely on pure air, sunshine, rest an eat of a balanced, fresh food. There would doubleless of stocking the larder of a floating sanitarium, but rest is unavailable and the airship at an easily negotiated altitude would provide air stocking that would attain of purity and plenty hardly attainable on the earth's surface.

A British railway official tells a story of a tourist in Ireland who left the train at every station and went ahead to the luggage van to ask if his trunk was safe. After the sixth time the exasperated guard replied: "Bgourna, I wish the Lord had made you an elephant, instead of an ass, then they'd always have your trunk 'for you of'."
But the most interesting feature of the suggestion is the wider service it prophesies from the conquest of the air. Only a few years ago the airplane in popular expectation, merely planted another avenue on the earth's surface. With the war it developed and in imbued branch of arms that revolutionized military tactics. Since the war it has ended the industrial pace by accelerating communication. Now it is recruited by medicine in the battle for health. In what new field will it appear tomorrow?

Princeton and Yale athletic committees have voted to grant their tennis players a major letter, provided the plan for an intercollegiate league is successful. Harvard, Penn State and others' leagues which have been proposed as members, have yet to determine their stand in the recognition of the game.
A "better English" drive has been launched at the University of Oklahoma. The department in English will keep accurate record of the English used by each student in written work, recitations, and conversations. This method will continue throughout the year.
On Armistice Day at Rollin学院 college it was decided to raise $250,000 with which to construct a new gymnasium and to provide an endowment fund for athletics. Former students everywhere are being called upon to give $75,000, which will be used for the construction of the field.
One Pleasure of Old Age
John D. R. Rockefeller's additional gift of $10,000,000, to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research increases this institution's total endowment at his hands to $27,000,000. Taken in connection with his gift of $20-000,000, to the general education board to popularize medical know-how, he creates an aggregate sum of $30,000,000, to Mr. Rockefeller for combat disease.

Is there any other object to which great accumulations of wealth could be as appropriately applied.

And as respects the munificence of the donor who makes these triumphs possible, can an occupation be conceived of more agreeable than that in which Mr. Rockerfelter is engaged of giving away millions for real service to humanity?
