Entered as second-class mail matter September, 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence. Kaugs, under the act of March 3, 1879. Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Kansai, from the press of the Department Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university in a way that goes beyond Kansas; to get the ther than merely printing the news by attending classes, or playing no favors; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be positive; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in ath, to serve to the students of the University. THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1910 Fair tonight and Friday; not much change in temperature. THE WEATHER DO IT NOW, PLEASE Dance regulations for next year ought to be made before the University closes in June. The changes in price imposed on parties this year, disputes as to what dances are under Senate and Student Council jurisdiction, and the resultant confusion and dissatisfaction need not be repeated. Conditions are sufficiently stabilized at present for the Student Interests Committee to know what provisions are practicable for next year. A careful formulation of the rules now, before school closes, would enable students to make intelligent plans for the coming season. They should know now who are to manage Varsity dances, what admission price is to be allowed for each dance, how late it may last, and so forth. Then organizations could make out an advance calendar of next year's parties and their plans would not be in danger of complete destruction by some decree from higher up until the last minute before the dance. The persons who knocked the K.U. athletic condition should be considered as the Bolshivists who ruined and broke down the remainder of their government and made bad worse. The athletic situation looks very favorable now and the slump was but a war time slump. GET OUT AND VOTE Between this time and June 3 and 4, the dates set for the honor system election, every student in the University will be reached either by special class meetings or through class committees, to hear the arguments in favor of its adoption. Many students have said that they will not vote against the honor system for they realize that there are some good points in it, but neither will they vote for it. Evidently they do not realize that by failing to go to the polls they are defeating the first great step toward student government just as much as if they voted against the honor system. The principle objection to the honor system is the second point regarding the reporting of dishonest work. A 100 per cent vote thoroughly supported will do away with the necessity for this clause. The matter is up to the student body. If the students respond as a whole to these class or committee meetings which will be held immediately, they will show their loyalty to the school. At least they should be willing to li- ten to the arguments for an honor system and perhaps their views on the subject will be changed. Many of the students failed to attend the general convoction held to discuss the matter, and if they neglect the opportunity to hear its merits this time, the result will probably be the defeat of the first chance to obtain student government this year. Not even the leading opponents of the honor system can be certain that it will fail, for they have never seen it tried at this school. At least they should be fair-minded enough to give it a trial. Now the "oil luck" has penetrated even closer. Baldwin, only twenty miles from Lawrence, is being heralded because of the discovery of the greasy substance. If the progress continues to grow, perhaps in 1935 we can look for a private oil rig in every back yard. WE READ IT Breathlessly the student reads, "She smiled with the cold warmth of the sun on a frozen December day. It was a forced smile, but she dared not show her real feeling for the brute across the breakfast table. "You should dismiss the cook, Ysabel," he said suddenly. "The grapefruit is wretchedly prepared." "Ysabel smiled again patiently. Her lips were wonderful. But underneath the smile was the thought that he had not come in until 3 o'clock the night before. "Toonight," she groaned, "He may not come in at all." (To be continued in the July issue). Then the breathless student lays down the magazine regretfully and seeks repose. His weekly spree of luscious literature is over, and he will have to wait until the latest issue of one of his favorite sheets arrives at the news stand. And they say that University students do not read! If next year is as good as everyone says it will be, surely the millennium will have come. But why not have such a change? TOO MANY MEETINGS Doesn't it seem almost fair that school work should be considered before other things, at least for the last two weeks? Throughout the entire year the majority of students have let nothing interfere with their social good times, and least of all has school work been allowed to interfere with other things. According to the schedules for meetings of various organizations and clubs, there will not be one night but what there will be some sort of a meeting, either business or otherwise, that will not take the time of the students who are so fortunate—or should we say unfortunate?—to belong to these organizations. Perhaps the meetings are student activities and are considered one of the important parts of the student's education, nevertheless, the week before quizz week is not the time for "outside affairs." Why not put a taboo on meetings, both afternoons and nights, for the remainder of the school year, and get down to actual work in an effort to prepare for the finals? Now that summer is about here, and the weather is getting so hot that men want to shed their costs, the women are wearing heavy sweaters. Many of them, also, are just beginning to knit wild-colored ones for summer wear. The German signers, having spoken inaudible words, may try to use invisible ink according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. WOMEN AND SWEATERS The explanation often given is that women did not have time to knit sweaters for themselves during the war when they were knitting for the men in service, or that they did not care to knit for themselves while others knitted for soldiers and sailors. Even Luther Burbank could not deodorize onions. The first plane to make an attempt to cross the ocean failed, so did the flagship of Columbus. History recounted that Skwayk got across in another kind of 'ship.' Money may not assist one in love but it does bring the wedding day closer. Prohibition isn't so bad, says the optimist. All of the men consider it a huge joke on the rest of the fellows. Germany may get more than she asks if she prefers Bolshevism to the present peace term. Both may result. The doctor often puts you on your feet by causing you to sell your car. If you can't hold your temper, who can? A proof that college men take life easy—they graduate by degrees. The world is divided into two classes, according to the buck private who has just returned to school. There are profs whose heads bulge out in front, he says, and officers whose domes bulge out behind. The Sunday Star gave four pages to society and three to sport. Yet the Star criticises K.U. for her standing in the Social League. From the number of soldier marriages one is led to believe that the men whipped the Kaiser before they tired of fighting. The Chancellor predicts a larger enrollment at K. U., beginning next year. With the new grading system in force, many old faces should be back from year to year to help maintain the substantial increase.

Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan:— We are told by a considerable number of the law students that they are going to vote almost solidly against the honor system. They are going to do their best to believe in a bunch of squawlers." If we follow this hare-brained, circutus argument of these logical (?) and consistent (?) laws, what must we conclude the theory to be upon which it is based? It can be based on the legislative body of government, but no judicial and no executive, for a chief function of these departments is to seek out, report, and prosecute law breakers. Therefore, every lawyer is a squailer and is entirely non-self-respecting because his duty, as others, is to prosecute law-breakers. According to their own argument, the laws are now, or are preparing to be, "squeaieres" and so can in no wise be self-respecting. From this it seems that it will not be necessary hereafter for the students of the University to refrain from commenting on the laws in their presence, because by their own line of argument (and by their intended action in the coming election) they tacitly but frankly admit this. And some of the laws say, "We thing the same as 'Uncle Jimmie' about the honor system." This might lead us to ask what's the matter with "Uncle Jimmie"? And isn't it most similitude to imagine that a majority enrolled in one school of the University will think the same as some one person in their midst, while in the other schools the students are not thinking "as someone else thinks," but they are thinking for themselves. Is it that hero worship still exists, or are the Green Hall inmates incapable of thinking? What is "Uncle Jimmie" doing? What is he wearing, who'll do the thinking if he should not always be with them? Such contemplated action at the polls on the part of the laws is a challenge to the entire student body to show them just where to get off. How fortunate it is in matters of University policy that the quantity of laws is rivaled only by the number of O'Donnell and the wrong of a policy is found by noting the goats are lined up m it.
