The Daily Kansas snippet to picture the university's role in the state of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it; to play no favorizer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be enthusiastic; to move more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of Kansas.

AND WE GRIN A GHASTLY SMILE
In spite of the general belief among the students of the University, which is shared by many faculty members, that the Daily Kansan should be permitted to maintain a staff reporter in meetings of the University Senate, the Senate voted unanimously Tuesday against allowing a Kansan reporter to be present at its meetings.
The Daily Kansan is naturally disappointed over the refusal of the Senate to accede to a request that was prompted by a desire to benefit the whole school. The purpose of the Kansan is to give a fair and impartial account of the news of the institution it represents. Its purpose is to be nonpartisan, and to state fairly the merits of all sides of any important question.
By allowing a staff reporter to obtain first hand the accounts of the various actions of the organization to which is delegated the power of practically controlling the affairs of the University, the Senate would be giving the Kanasan a rare-opportunity to bring relations of the faculty and students closer to each other.
Under the present system whereby the Senate considers every affair and adopts every measure behind closed doors and in secret, it puts itself in an automatic position beyond the reach of the rest of the University. The accounts of the Kansan are gained second handed from members of the Senate—a method obviously unsatisfactory.
The person whom the Kanan would send to report the meetings of the Senate necessarily would be one with tact and common sense. The action of this person in printing news would not be arbitrary, but the accounts would first be approved by the several different heads of the paper.
However disappointing the recent action of the Senate is, the Kansan believes that the majority of students will continue to demand a representation of the student press. The Kansan will continue to demand it. A legislative body that refuses to admit a recognized newspaper representative lays itself and all its actions open to popular suspicion.
In the past the Senate of the University of Kansas has been known to reverse its decisions. Perhaps in this matter this decision may also be reversed.
In the meantime the Daily Kan-
san and the majority of students will continue to indulge in this hope.
Perhaps the time will come when the whole world can say, "He kept us out of War."
THE ART EXHIBIT
An exhibit of Maxfield Parrish prints means practically nothing to the average university student—especially when the exhibit is open to the public and no fee asked for viewing the prints. Place these same prints in an Art Institute, charge one dollar to enter the building, forbid people to come who have little or no knowledge of art, and the place will be crowded. Such is perverse human nature. It wants what it can't have and doesn't want the good things at its very door.
The Art Department at the University of Kansas is alert to provide the best exhibits possible, not only for its own students, but for the students in all other schools and departments. The instructors are perfectly willing to explain the prints to anyone who is interested in art but doesn't understand it, and that is more than one can say for the men on guard at the big art institutes who are placed on duty to "keep hands off" rather than to point out the particular features in art exhibits.
The prints now on display in the art department include eight or *ten* by Parrish and as many by Jules Guerin. This display will soon be sent to another art center. It precedes one of original drawings by students in California normal schools to be shown here soon. A quiet hour spent in the art department is a liberal education.
ONIONS AND ZENO
According to Zeno the Stoic, each vegetable has a soul; only a vegetative soul indeed, unable to reason or to move, but perfectly sufficient for any self-respecting vegetable.
Imagine then the Stoic onion.
The tender pale-green thing in your Hoover garden may have its youthful aspirations. Feeling sun and breeze, it may thrill with pleasure and expand apace. Movement and reason are impossible to the onion soul, but feeling and ambition are strong within it.
A hail storm brings some of its fellows to an untimely end. The giant they call Little Johnny plucks its next-door neighbor for a sandwich. But the ambitious onion escapes these perils. It has no idea of what its future will be, but it grows nobly, feeling that to be the highest duty of its vegetative soul. It attains its full performance, and then—Little Johnny's mother uproots it ruthlessly and serves up a most glorious anothered skwe.
When you partake of the Stoic onion, lament a little, for it lived according to its lights and died in bringing joy to man.
ENTERTAIN OUR VISITORS
ENTERTAIN OUR VISITORS
A group of Kansan board sport writers, including three women, have organized to report all the games during the annual high school basketball tournament which will be held here the last of this month. The sport stories will be sent by Prof. S. O. Rice, of the state public department, to the various newspapers of cities which have teams entered in the tournament.
In addition to reporting the games the Kansan sport writers plan to mingle with the high school athletes and make them feel that the University students and faculty are glad to have them visit Mount Oread. Every high school student that attends the tournament is a prospective University student, so let other University students and faculty arrange now to entertain our visitors.

Campus Opinion
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer as evidence of his sincere interest in the topic, for the author so specifies. Communications are welcome.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The campus opinion by "Interested in Tuesday's Kansas, dealing with the recent re-organization of the Knights of the Golden K, struck a mark that the students sit up and think about the organization-mad students who started it again with the change in form indicated by "Interested."
I call them organization-mad students because the composition of the newly organized society leads us to believe that the purpose of starting it again was only to have another "honor" to tack to the scholastic record. The original purpose of the organizations when it was a legitimate society — to quote from the 1916 Jayhawker, "to offer a source where Jayhawker, "to offer a source on all student problems and also in the creation and development of new ideas for the University"—has evidently been perverted.
There are several "Honor Knights" among the faculty, Chancellor Strong, Prof. F. H. Hodder, and Prof. H. A. Rice. Surely these men would have been knights of the Knights of the Golden K the leaders of the classes in the University.
Leaders of the class should become members of the society automatically. But instead they are not trained by the customary means.
This may be a little thing to hangle about, but it is illustrative of a baneal influence exerted on K. U. from some of its students. They think, not of service to others, not of loyalty to the institution, but of self-glorification. There are students in the University—I do not mean necessarily members of the organization in question in the early part of this communication—who are trying to twist everything with which they are connected so that it will lend to their self-interests. And these self-interests are never of any value to the University or to any students outside themselves and their little clique or eliques.
Of such perverting influences, the matter of the Knights of the Golden K is only one manifestation. Thoughtful and non-selfish students, real men in society, realize the ace in this influence and do their utmost to clean it up.
