The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undegraded individual so he can go further than merely print the news by standing for it. He also plays no favorite role and play no favors to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous to challenge oneself with wiser heads, in all, to serve to the best of one's ability to the students at University.

THE UNIVERSITY'S HONOR SYSTEM
A workable plan by which the honor system may be successfully established at K.U. will be welcomed by faculty, students, and friends of the University alike. The official adoption of such a plan will mark the University of Kansas as a progressive institution willing to depart from rigid, uncompromising orthodox rules for newer plans proved to be better.
The plan as outlined by the student committee has already succeeded. It therefore deserves support. Students in classes under instructors who use this system agree that there is less cheating than under the old plan. After it is well in force, there will be found very few students who are contemptible enough to break the rules which upon their honor they are bound to enforce. Both faculty and students in general are in favor of the idea. It is no more pleasant for a faculty member to act as a policeman than it is for the class to be carefully supervised.
In addition to the working benefits of the honor system, the adoption of the plan will win a good name for the University over the state. An institution that successfully permits examinations and similar work to be conducted upon the honor of the students without faculty supervision will be favored by a surprisingly large majority over institutions using the old method and with no greater success.
If the honor system advocated by the student committee is adopted, its
success, of course, depends entirely upon the students themselves. There is every reason to believe however that students of the University of Kansas will earn commendation in the manner in which they uphold the honor plan.
University women who took active part in the Women's Student Government Association election, as candidates, workers, or intelligent voters are preparing themselves for that great happy age in the outside world when women all over the world are franchised.
Some faculty members were made happy by the announcement that they would receive pay soon for work done in the summer of 1917. To even matters, the University should gladden some student by announcing that the subsistence refund due them since S.A.T.C. days would be sent out shortly.
ATHLETES STILL MINUS
LETTERS AND SWEATERS
It is time track and baseball letters won by Kansas athletes last year and letters granted to the men on this year's teams were given out by the Athletic Board. No action has been taken on the matter and somebody is at fault. The men won their "KIs" by hard work on the track, gridiron, diamond and basketball court and are entitled to get them at once.
No meeting of the Athletic Board has been called for this year, although most of the members are in school. Men who have waited nearly a year for their letters are beginning to get impatient and somebody should take enough interest in matters to officially grant the letters and order the swaters.
Here is another plan whereby organization fiends may satisfy their intense desire for fame. Why not form a league, club or society to beautify the campus? The "Campus beautiful". club. Wouldn't the monogram "CB" make a wonderful looking pin?
"Please do not ask me what I think of prohibition," said a Professor. "I absolutely refuse to make up my mind."
Unless students voluntarily keep off the grass, we will soon be seeing the little "keep off the grass" signs scattered freely about the brown spots on the campus.
PUT YOUR SELF IN THE BOX Below on this page is a questionnaire regarding a University Memorial Service for the men who have died in the war. Look it over carefully. Remember that the University is coming back to the days of old time pep, and that the development of such demands the co-operation of all students. This may be regarded as a test of your spirit in the matter.

Campus Opinion
The gang controls too many things at K.U. Athletics, student activities and organizations are run by several men. Students graduate from K.U. with a string of honors which rightfully belong to others.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Some so called honorary organizations will elect new members this spring and should look around and get men who are deserving of the honors instead of the usual weak members.
Carrying a rotten system of politics into athletic elections is another condition which hurts the school. How many times in recent years have K.U. athletic teams selected men as their captains who belonged to therips and other clubs that get the captaincy of his team in athletics regardless of his politics.
Students who want to keep K.U. alive should remember this when they elect members to these organizations this spring.
K. U. Stude.
Daily Kansan:—
Spring elections are coming. Little interest was shown in the election in January and several students were elected to positions which incur the expenditure of thousands of dollars with no opposition and utterly unresponsive. These are the things which help to kill the waning spirit of the school.
Students alike that politics are run by gangs here. This early in the year any student with political ambitions can start on the formation of a ticket and gather good support. More interest should be shown in elections. Think it over while the game is
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Think it over while the game is young. Interested.
In the Kansan of Wednesday I notice that I was mentioned as a freshman who disdains to wear the distinctive headgear of my class. To straighten up matters, I wish to tell you that my refusal is more than well justified by two strong reasons.
Jose V. Cajucom.
First, because I am a foreigner and, it is against my own custom to wear any cap, and second because is I have two year's college credit made in a Spanish college in Manila. P.I. which are on record at the registrar's office. I am not considered subject to wear such ridicules stigma, called the freshman cap.
