To be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be careful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1919. THE WEATHER Fair tonight and Thursday. ON YOUR HONOR The question of whether or not we shall have an honor system will soon be decided by a vote of the students. By this vote we shall have a chance to show of what kind of stuff the student body is made. We shall soon see whether it is a weak, vascillating group of individuals who are always howling for self government in some form, but haven't the nerve to undertake it when given to them, or whether it is really in earnest in its desires and shows it by being willing to accept the first great opportunity for student responsiblity that is offered. Certainly we cannot be consistent in our desires to have student government if we turn down one proposition and ask for another. The honor system offers the best opportunity for a true democratic government that has yet been presented. Each individual has the chance to take an active part in the working of it, instead of having to depend upon a representative. Each student must pledge on his honor to do his share in eliminating cheating and dishonest work for which the instructors were formerly held responsible. By far the greater part of the student body detests cheating and dishonesty, and we know what it means to be put upon our honor. It is not a system that will be impossible, for it is being carried out very successfully in many institutions. Certainly it is a question that morits a great deal of consideration. Seventy-five per cent of the students must vote for it to put it across. Let us have the courage of our convictions, and convince the faculty that we are willing to put ourselves on our honor in carrying out the responsibilities of student government! An ex-kaiser is to be offered for sale at a bargain soon, according to the dispatches. Any country that feels it is in need of a much experienced tyrant, rather badly broken, ignibly defeated and a little worse for the wear, should apply to Holland at once as that country is anxious to get rid of one. He answers to the name of Bill, and will eat anything, and is especially fond of women and little IT TAKES TIME TO RESTORE PEP During the war the University took second place in the life of every loyal American man and woman. The need of college education and the return of school spirit is gradually returning. changes cannot take place with the rising of the sun. Pep, however, cannot be created overnight. It is just like peace prices, it will come in time, but such wide Still the general cry is "Where is Pep!" and the students of the University are severely criticized for their supposedly dislayful attitude toward their school. Many men of the University are doing all in their power to benefit the University and to create school spirit. Everyone is predicting the complete return of pep next year and is working toward that end. Those who are so quick to criticize should realize that pep cannot be created overnight and nobody is more enthusiastic for its return than the majority of the students of the University. From the way men attend the Student Council meetings it looks as if several ran for office to get into the Varsity dances! --- How often have you seen the student who does not have time to help you five minutes on a school activity with a date five afternoons a week? The Chancellor predicts a large in crease in the enrollment for next year. What will they do for dancing space; the athletic manager asks. Aerial police have recently made their debut in Atlantic City. It seems that in common with police of several other towns, the Atlantic City cops are "up in the air." Flossie Writes Home Dear Mother:— Just received you letter asking me what I was going to do this summer—would you like to join us? I am coming home on one condition, and that is that you tell Cousin Lucy, Aunt Sarah, Isaac and the rest of our dear summer boarders that we are shutting up the farm for the summer and going to the woods. I can just hear you exclaim at my lack of love for the dear relatives, but my hospitality has been run down and needs a rest if I am to come back next year. You know the greater part of my monthly check goes for board and room. The room is supposed to include a bed in most hotels, but in our sorority house, the bed is merely to sleep. We sit al fresco, alumno, and sponging friends. Mother dear I have slept on the floor, on the davernport, on straw ticks, on the window sill and under the bed, and next week when we have our party I expect I will have to sleep in the bath-tub or on the kitchen stove. It isn't that I don't sleep because I do—I get so waery waiting on the sweet rushes lazy guests, that I could sleep just as well if I were suspending from the ceiling. It's not that I don't need to afraid that I will forget how to sleep in a regular bed, and that hereafter I will have to get my blanket and lie on the floor when I am visiting and that would be truly embarrassing. So mother, if you still retain your natural affection four your offspring, don't arrange to have guests this summer while I am home, for the sight of one now has the same effect on me that a red flag does on an angry bull. HOUSECLEANING Lots of Love, Flossie. Instead of merely sweeping away the dust and refuse that lay in the house where you live, why not banish the rubbish that you have allowed to collect inside yourself—the mental and moral you? Readable Verse Have you ever sorted over the dozens of little mannerisms which you allow to creep into your daily work, sorted them over, and thrown away nine out of ten? Have you ever seen a little porthole incarnations, and just how unworthy most of them are of future existence? Have you ever seen it that the "efficiency" you pride yourself on is really efficient instead of merely noisy? Have you ever recognized the fact that you want speed, not beauty but an instantaneous production to produce it? Have you polished up the windows of your mind till they are like lenses instead of more portholes incurred with the spray of ancient opinions and premature judgments? Have you gone through that big cupboard filled with your special prejudices and antitrusts with the spray of ancient opinions into the database? Have you realized that good nature is a lubricant more essential for success than all the frenzied wrinkling of your forehead and setting of your jaw? Have you been shrewd enough to see that the best way to make your neighbor feel welcome was to have you acted on the fundamental principle that everything that isn't helping hindering you. In short, have you swept in the corners—Collier's I see a finger pointing To that awful June exam. I hear a call-a-calling "You must cram, cram, cram." So I must quit my stalling, And stop my line of bunk, And burn the Mazda late at night, Or flunk, flunk, flunk —Rockhurst Sentinel.

Campus Opinion What is the matter with the University Senate? They let all of the good men leave the University and keep the ones who are satisfied with their old salaries, which in most cases are more than they are worth. Editor Daily Kansan:— The students are asking for the retention of McCanles and the band men themselves voted unanimously to have him kept here. Who is more competent to judge the value of a band member's work works with? Surely not the Senate. They are letting a good man go in J. C. McCanes, band director. McCanes has led K.U. bands for twelve years and during that time has put out several which have been the peer of bands of schools of the middle west. "Mac" is a good man which means that he should be "canned." He shows his interest in K. U. by getting the men out for all of the athletic contests and his band adds to the spirit of the institution. Where would K.U. be without a band? It would be classed with the schools which are below the jerkwater standard. McCanales is receiving $1000 a year now which is a small salary for one with his ability as a leader. He can and will do twice that well in a financial way at other schools. From the way the money is being dealt out in salaries his increase would make his salary about $300 more per year. "Mac" gets less than the others who are connected with the School of Fine Arts and handles more studious puts more time in on our university. He is more elegant in University than instructors. Several of them receive as high as $2500 a year and give private lessons for which they charge in addition to their salary. McCanales being treated fairly? It doesn't look like a fair deal. McCancles wants enough to make his place here worth while but will remain here for less than he could get at other places, just to be at his Aide. McCancles will need a band leader in the service gets. He would handle more men than such a leader and put in many times that amount of time. Is it any more than fair that he should receive such a salary to work? The McCancles after looks tainted. KU. lost good men in Thorpe and Putman. McCanes will go along with these men from all indications. When KU, starts a housecleaning she gets the wrong ones. It seems that such is the University Senate policy. Leave it to the students. Let them have a vote as to whether McCanles be involved or not. K.U. has the money "Mac" is the man we should have. Junio.r CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS Many students and town people have criticised W. O. Hamilton for the poor showing made by the K.U. basketball and track meet this season. They allege that he devotes much of his time to outside interest. The schools here are a conflation of high school misfits. Is this all correct? Editor Daily Kansan:— K. U. may have teams made up of high school stars who are misfits here because of their inability to get team work without the proper amount of coaching but with a lot of experience. W. O. Hamilton. Since he has come to K.U. nearly every position in the department in which he works have been showed upon him and "Ham" has done the best he could under such difficulties. He has been most successful. He has been in the department of physical education, basketball coach, tennis coach, athletic manager, track boat and his own publicity manager. Surely any of these jobs is a real task for one man. Ham takes what he can and never complains. He needs assistants and needs them badly. For Rent For Sale Lost Found Helped Situation Wanted KU. should have a coach for both freshmen and Varsity basketball, football and track. Three coaches for football would be none too many. "Ham" is a good man in his place but he cannot do five men's games without much adverse criticism from the ones who do not know his exact position. As a manager of athletics he is paramount in the Missouri Valley conference and is good at track and mackball. Give "Ham" a few classy assistants and the calibre of K. U. teams will advance.
