The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students further than merely printing the news by standing for the students at the University and be to clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University, and the students at the University.

THE WEATHER
ARE YOU A GOOD CITIZEN?
If more than 75 per cent of the students of the University do not have sufficient interest in their own school government to make the effort to get out and vote on the honor system next Tuesday, then certainly they deserve no powers of self-government. If men and women of this University prefer to leave the problem with the Disciplinary Committee, then they should say nothing more about the infringement of their rights by the school authorities.
Which is more important—which organization lands the most men in important offices, or whether the University takes a definite stand on a question involving the ethical views of each individual student? Men and women turn out with enthusiasm to elect their friends to offices often entailing small responsibilities. If they are loyal K. U. people, they will make a greater effort to get out and vote for the University, for that is what a 75 per cent vote for the honor system is.
The man or woman who does not take advantage of his right of franchise cares little or nothing for democracy, and the student who will not exert himself sufficiently to vote on the honor system in his own school is also a poor citizen.
After the Aggies victory Saturday KU. fans said, "Wait until football season." It looks as if that was the only sport in which Kansas can win and the Aggies say we have the "Indian Sign" on them there.
IN THE FARMER'S DEFENSE
And now, the farmer is accused of being the greatest profeiter of the war. He has remained peacefully on his farm getting a great deal of his supplies directly from his own farm with the same amount of labor as ever, and at the same time he is getting much more for his products than before the war.
Right in the midst of the war he was buying automobiles or exchanging his old model for a new one. He has sent his children to college, and he has found that he can make their allowance larger than ever before. He has had to pay a higher price for farm machinery, but his ability to buy has overcome the difference so completely that he forgets to complain.
There is a great deal of truth in this argument, but why should the farmer be stamped with the name of
"profiteer?" If he has been unusually fortunate, considering the stringency of the times, it must be admitted that his advantage has not been gained by under-hand methods or political play. The price of his products has been controlled by other hands than his own, and he has had to sit back and accept the terms dictated to him. And, in the buying of bonds and the subscriptions to the various "drives," there is nothing to show that he has not been just as liberal and just as loyal as any other class of citizen. If more than his share of the nation's money has been put into his hands, it has certainly been put into hands which willingly loaned it back to aid the common cause.
When a man permits his family to indulge in excess extravagances that he cannot afford, he justifies his weakness by saying that he boxes his family so well that he cannot deny them anything says Dorothy Dix.
ARE THESE K. U. WOMEN?
"Our problems of life are dress and men. Perhaps our third greatest problem is the matter of dates. We think of dress, men and dates just about all our spare time. College girls have funny ideas about men. Many girls have lost all perspective concerning them. They think of men as they do of new dresses. They must be had. It doesn't matter especially as to the kind of material—just so we can have a sort of background to show us off. We just want to have a man handy, because that is what is known as popularity. We have to play a continual game of bluff in order to keep them coming, but it's all in the game, so we do it."
These are the frankly spoken words of a college woman in Melvin Ryder's book, "Rambles Round the Campus."
This is unfortunately true in the cases of many women attending American universities. Close to half those attenting the University of Kansas have such ideals as Ryder describes, according to several woman students.
"I think it is the men's fault as much as anything," said one woman. "Even sensible men often draw the line at sensible girls. Women who come here for other than social reasons are often unpopular simply because the men do not care for them."
"So long as people come here merely for the social advantages to be obtained, there will be a large number of this class," said another woman. "Most women settle down, however, when they reach their junior or senior year."
"The activities in which women on the Hill are engaged proves to my mind that K. U. does not have a large proportion of the butterfly type," said a University man. "War relief work and other forms of usefulness attracted enough women to show that the K. U. woman thinks of other things than clothes, men and dates."
A "look-in" on girls' dispositions very valuable to anyone hoping to be connected to those dispositions now or in the future could have been managed if the interested parties had been concealed in any women's house the morning of May 24, when none of the costumes for the May Fete were ready.
THOSE BUSY WOMEN
Everyone wanted the sewing machine at the same time. Mary, who hadn't come in immediately on returning from the dance, and so needed sleep, couldn't understand why Jane didn't help her with her costume; "she knew more about sewing than Mary did." The telephone rang and the doorbell rang and Bill wasn't going to stay for the "pesky old May Fete," but was going to Kansas City and have a good time with the fellows, and maybe wouldn't get back in time for the dance that night, and they didn't see why they promised to be Mother Goose, or Jack or Jill or anybody, anyway.
Where is the old fashioned girl who used to wear ribbons? She covers her ears with hair in cold weather and covers her head in cold on sunny days in low cuts or bareheaded.
The Kanan style book calls for the capping of all permanent commit-ment, in the way the memorial committee is worn. Even soon under the cap letter rule.
The thinner the better is the de-
lamination of mok women in selec-
tion their size.
Army life is one continuous line after another according to the recently discharged soldier.
The nearness of the end of school brightens the spirit until one thinks of the exams preceding the "Farewell."
"Wilson's Proposed Repeal of the Dry Law rouses the Prohibitionists" reads a N. Y. Times headline. It ought to rouse someone. Will the slogan, "He kept us in booze" win an election?
The Topeka Capital says that the Smiths won the war and cities 51,000 Smiths as being enrolled in the service. It also adds that the war would have ended sooner but fqr the Schmidts.
K. U. pep is still bottled up. Will it pop when the cork is jerked next fall?
Most women are better at selling tickets or books to men than they are even buying their own books.
Knocking on K.U. by students is like throwing oil on flames already started.
Postmaster General Burleson will feel relieved when his term of office expires according to the Kansas City Journal. So will the people.
Nations will argue until time in memorial and never decide which was responsible for the winning of the war.
The long tounged students who were so successful in electionering this year are looking for salesman positions for the summer. They figure that they can sell the people in the mail and will materially material by the same methods they convinced the frash of the value of "voting it straight."
Campus Opinion
Word comes from K. S. A. C. that women are holding all high offices at the Agrigio school. A woman manages the annual and college paper. KU believes in woman suffrage to allow women to vote. A woman dance manager while a woman takes Varsity tickets here every Saturday night.

The newly installed Student Council said they would circulate petitions asking for the retention of McCanley. They have not done this and there are many students who would sign such petitions but do not feel that they have the authority to circulate them. Come on, Student Council, let's have a little action before it is too late.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
The women at the University tool over the Varsity dances while the men were in the service and now that the men are back will not turn the privilege to the men. Is this fair? The men say it is not.
The men agree to put on the dances for seventy-five cents and women want to charge one dollar. If the men can put the dances on cheaper than the women and at the same time hire as good music, they should be given their old privilege. There has been much dissatisfaction with the cost of the dance of the difference between the parties given, and those advertised, by the women.
For McCanles.
A Mere Man.
One man expressed our sentiments when he said, "Going to a Varsity and paying a woman of the University at the gate is like going to a Wild West show and paying a jitney ride." He said with the wild women of the show."
The Senate members say the women made money. Is the舞场 the place to make money? No wonder they made money, they didn't put on dollar parties.

Have you ever tried on a Hart Schaffner & Marx waist-seam?
THEN you haven't any idea of how becoming they are; almost every man and young man looks good in them. They're not just a fad, either; there's too good a reason for them; they give men the well set-up appearance, erect, full chested; narrow thru the waist.

That's why you'd better let us try one on you; there are variations here for everyone

Editor Daily Kansan:-
The action of the Student Council in disfranchisement is to be commended and should the Black student be encouraged to break initiation I for one would like to see them ostracized by other students for the remainder of their time in K.U.
It is generally understood and alleged that several of the class societies will initiate men this spring and charge an exorbitant price for the ceremonies. This is not true school spirit and the idea of democracy in the classes, the thing for which these societies were organized is losing out to students whose students will kill the class spirit, such as it, if they forget and go money mad as has been the use in recent school activities.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
The Kansas City Star, Missouri Valley organ of accuracy in the world of amateur sport, made fourteen errors in the summary of the Kansas-Agille dual meet. The Star comments on K.U. Spirit. They must have plenty of that in the plural for their linotype operators.

Does the Honor System put a student on his honor?
This is a question which we should not evade before we vote upon so important an issue. It is claimed by its advocates that the advantage of the Honor System over the old system is that it does put the student on his honor. But how does it put one student, for instance, on his honor when he well realizes that there are around him students who will resent him who is seen in an ex-confessor. He is, in many instances more likely to be seen and reported than when the examination is under the supervision of the instructor.
This trial at the adoption of the Honor System is an admission that the old system has failed but is not that the fault of the instructors? Some of them are using the honor system to some extent, and others are not using it at all. That is the trouble with conditions at present. We are attempting to use both systems at the same time, and nothing more be inductive than a lack of honor. We certainly have one or the other. It is for this reason that we are now seeking a new system, but there is no need to look for a new system when a tried solution is oper to us.
And, even while this is true, it must be admitted that there is going to be some cheating and some students are going to "get by" with it. And, again, the student reports another? In nearly all cases it will result in hard feelings toward some one, and that one may not always be the correct one. Some honorable students who do not cheat will not report student who is cheating and there many who are saying that very thing.
