The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news standing for journalism or playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be brave; to address problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve to the University, to only the students at the University.

THAT JUNIOR PROM
The 1919 Junior Prom has passed into history. It was an excellent party and a good prom. The only objection heard any place was the large crowd present.
Upon reflecting, however, was the party the memorable and esteemed Junior Prom, the successful representation of a long time custom of the University, or was it a four-dollar Varsity dance? The music, decorations, the refreshments, and the entertainment were of the class to completely uphold the ancient Prom standards, but the dancers were a Varsity dance crowd.
The Junior Prom in order to be looked to as one of the few real social events of a college career must be to some extent exclusive. Some thing more than the ability to pay the admission price, no matter how high, is necessary to make a party a Junior Prom. The Prom must be a class party.
When the Juniors entertain the seniors at the one time in the year, freshmen and sophomores should not be present at the entertainment; they should look forward to the time when they should entertain or be entertained in the annual party. The party will be enjoyed more by the upperclassmen and appreciated more by the underclassmen when they will be able to attend.
As a financial proposition an exclusive Junior Prom would pay out. This year with enrollment far below normal there were twice too many people on the floor. In a normal year with only juniors and seniors present the capacity of the hall would be taxed.
How much more memorable would the parties be if the Soph Hop was for sophomores and seniors only, the Law Scrim for the laws, and the Junior Prom for juniors and seniors.
President Wilson is having a sorry timeumping in the Big League.
THE FIUME SITUATION
The sudden shifting of the contversy over Fiume and the Dalmatian coast from diplomatic circles to the public through the statement of President Wilson is giving to the world one idea of the hermelaan task that is confronting the Peace Conference-
President Wilson is clinging stolarly to the principles laid down in the fourteen points and upon which the Peace conferences at the beginning of the conference, agreed to base a treaty of peace. If Italy is allowed to take either Flume or the Dalmatian coast or
both, the principle of self-determination will come to an end. There is no other alternative. Either President Wilson or Premier Orlando must withdraw his claims. It is not a question to be settled by public opinion. It is hoped that through the influence of Premiers Lloyd' George and Clementeau a compromise will be effected whereby the Peace Conference will be held intact.
In his statement Wilson also gives the idea of secret pact a scathing blow. He says the London pact, a secret agreement between England, France and Italy, to give Italy possession of the Dalmation coast, in case of victory, does not conform with the principles upon which the Peace Conference agreed to work; and furthermore that the purpose for which the secret pact was made, that is protection of the Italian coast from Austrian invasion, no longer exists.
Lloyd George and Clementeau have heretofore adopted a neutral attitude toward the question on account of this pact, but it is believed that they heartily endorse Wilson's policy. It is thought they will do all in their power to reconcile the Italian delegates for they fully realize the seriousness of a rupture in the conference.
President Wilson is having a hard time making the Peace Conference understand that it is against his principles to have any secrets among its members. No doubt he is having a more trying experience than teaching school.
WONDERFUL POLITICS
Life wouldn't be half as enjoyable if it were not for the politicians at K. U. Isn't it oid the way some people change?
Perhaps you remember the man who wouldn't think of speaking to you even if he met you face to face on a lonely street, yet by the simple application of this miraculous political lotion, he decides to walk down the Hill with you, yes, even buys you a coke. Then again there is the fellow who always makes it a practice to play solitaire with his dances, but on the night of the From, keeps only three with his girl. Still another, the same individual who has the reputation of borrowing everything from a match to a clean collar, comes out in a fearless manner with "smokes for all."
As a smiling politician greets you tomorrow, just recall that old familiar phrase and say to yourself, "ain't nature wonderful?"
LET THEM VISIT HOME
FOLKS FIRST
When the Lawrence units from overseas arrive, every citizen of Lawrence and every University student will want to see them and talk with them. The boys will no doubt appreciate this but their three hours' stop in Lawrence means to them a chance to see their home folks and relatives, and not a time for lengthy visits with their friends.
It will be possible to make their stay here a visit with their families, if the students and citizens will refrain from crowding around and let them go at once to the ones who gave them up to fight.
The Lawrence boys have been away from their relatives for more than a year and are in practically every case counting the hours until they will get to see their mothers, fathers and sisters. The friends can wait a few days longer to talk with the overseas men, for surely no one would deprive the boys one minute of the time they will have to stay with their folks in Lawrence.
There is nothing like the seasoned farmerette for playing the Pied Piper and calling others after her! Sixty per cent of the farmerettes of last year were college women. The steady growth of land-workers' clubs in the different colleges testify to their power of persuading their fellow-students to seek an entire change from the winter's intellectual strain, by engaging in the vacation time—Department of Labor Bulletin.

I am standing on the bridge at midnight.
I STOOD ON THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT
Daintly I munch on a large Bermuda onion.
The stars dance like a housemaid scaling fish.
The moon is like a frosted cabbage in the sky.
I am standing on the bridge at mid night.
My soul it sadder than an ear trumpet in a boiler factory.
They drop like buck shot into the thin lipped, white fanged torrent. I shed more tears.
I am shedding tears.
The bridge flattens like a pack of cards.
The stream sucks it down like a vacuum cleaner taking unto its bosom a necktie.
The stream sucks it down like a
My heart pumps like a hooked trout. Woe is me.

Edior Daily Kansan:—
Is dancing the only "sport" left which can stir up enthusiasm in K. U. students? Even the Varsity dances are well populated on all occasions, but when a good peppy inter-club baseball game is scheduled, not even the people from the clubs playing are out to root for their teams. Varsity style ball has been played at every game; yet a sparse handful of spectators have been out; indeed, until a few girls from the Dunakin club showed up to root Wednesday afternoon, the gallery had been composed almost exclusively of the Kanas sport writers. There are twenty-seven intramural teams, representing probably ninety per cent of the university; and yet the men and women who decorate porches for an hour or two after meals plead lack of time to attend the games from five to six-thirty o'clock!
Why not hold a real "Wake up Kansas" meeting on Hamilton field to watch the national game, and learn how to behave at the Varsity games? We cannot expect good teams without giving them good support. Is the team well equipped for that injury that only lasts two months in the fall, and is dead the rest of the year? Why not the "Thundering Thousand" for baseball, too?
Sport Writer:
WHO WILL BE DANDELION QUEEN?
QUEEN?
At one o'clock on a certain afternoon the young men of the University were to meet on the campus and work until six, removing these plants. Each plant taken up could be counted as a vote to be cast by the worker, for the most popular candidate, or the highest number of votes would be crowned as "Dandelion Queen" that night at a舞 given in one of the fraternity halls.
Several years ago the students of Washington University, St. Louis, realized that the dandelion was ruining their beautiful campus. Several plans for removing the dandelions were suggested and the following one was accepted:
The president of the young men's literary societies of the Warrenburg Normal School would make a splendid committee to carry out a program of this kind—Normal Student, Warrenburg, Missouri.
The Warensburg Normal School campus is being covered with dandelions and the grass will soon be crowded out. Why not crown a "Dan delion Queen" next week and continue this each spring until our campus is free from this plant?
We hear a great deal these days from the pessimists concerning the future, or, preferably, the failure, of the peace parley. They are loud in their protestations that further bickering is useless, feeling that it is far more expedient for the President and the rest of our peace delegation to bid polite adieu and return to their native heath. They accept unqualified the belief that the United States must make a separate peace with Germany if we would obtain the terms we realy desire.
This event has occurred annually for several years and is looked forward to.
IF YE BREAK FAITH-
entire Nation is not of such an opinion. We may take comfort in the statement our executive made in his New York address, "I won't come back 'til it's over over there."
We may thank Providence that the
A separate peace would mean this war was fought in vain; would mean but lull in Mars' activities. There can be no greater incentive to the notables at the peace table in a speedy agreement on lasting terms than the immortal words, "If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep."—Evening Missourian.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Memorial Comment
Considerable agitation has been expressed on the hill in the last few weeks as to what would be the best type of a memorial. Many students think that the Senate will decide the type of memorial that the University will have.
On the other hand many of the faculty members think that the students in asking for a popular vote on the election are not as serious as they are asking for the deciding vote.
Even if the Alumni should decide to leave the question up to the University as whole or the Senate the final vote would undoubtedly be up to the Board of Administration, which reserves final authority in all important matters.
Both have the wrong idea. The Alumni should be the ones who are to decide the type of memorial in that they will be asked to do the most of the financing.
The whole thing then seems to be to weigh the arguments or both sides and then take a popular vote of the faculty and of the students and present the results to the Alumni and the Board of Administration.

AN AWFUL RETRIBUTION
"Henry," said his father-in-law, as he called his daughter's spouse into the library and locked the door, "you have lived with me now for more than two years."
"Yes. father."
"In all that time I haven't asked you a penny for board,
and I'll just write it down (write)."
"In all your little family quarrels
have always taken your part."
"I have even paid some of your bills."
No, sir," (Wonderingly).
"Then the small favor I am about to ask of you will no doubt be granted?" "Most certainly, sir."
"Thanks. Then I want you to tell your mother-in-law that those tickets for the supper club dance which she picked up in my room this morning must have accidently fallen out of your pocket and we'll call it square." —Tit-Bits.

"How did you know who I was?" said Sir Conan Doyle, much interested, and not a little flattered by the recognition.
"If you'll excuse my saying so," said the cabman, "the lapels of your coat look as if they had been grabbed by New York reporters, your hair looks as if it had been cut in Philadelphia, your hat looks as if you had to stand your ground in Chicago, and your right shoe has evident Buffalo mud under the instep, and—and—"
"And what?" queried Sir Arthur. "Well," replied the cabman, "I saw 'Conan Doyle' in big white letters on your trunk."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
