The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life for years further than merely printing the news by standing for the death of the University president to be clean; to be cheerful; to be obnaught to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students.

Honest error is to be pitied, not rid
icaled. — Lord Chesterfield.
A TONIC FOR SPIRIT
Regular convocations for the remainder of the present quarter could only be held wisely in the morning by shortening the class hours for the morning. But with the beginning of the next term ought to come a permanent scheme for regular convocations.
While no definite action has been taken to re-establish the old custom of having regular all-University meetings, sentiment among students is almost unanimous in favor of doing so, and probably a majority of faculty members endorse it. It is quite probable, therefore, that the custom will be revived.
The Kansan proposes the following plan for a permanent system of regular convocations:
When the schedules are arranged for the next term, leave two hours a week vacant; that is, have no classes whatsoever during these hours. The hours should be in the morning when most students are on the campus.
At one of these reserved hours each week an all-University convocation could be held. But the purpose of the second hour would be especially for the meetings of individual schools, classes, or organizations. It would decrease the number of evening and 4:30 meetings and lessen the trouble in finding suitable hours for gatherings.
While the plan naturally commends itself to those who favor convocations, its practicability is immediately questioned. Would it not mean some inconvenience in arranging schedules?
It would. It would mean shifting a few more classes to the afternoon. It would mean a little more trouble for department heads in arranging their schedules. Yet it is not impractical; it could be done.
The Kansan believes that the inconvenience the system would bring is far outweighed by the benefits of unity, information, and interest that would result. A lack of regular convocations has proved a poison to the University and to school spirit; establishment of them under a definite, permanent plan would prove a tonic.
Professor Fuser is for the League of Nations if it will mean a permanent peace. He hopes there will be no more wars, for he does not enjoy having the girls he dates with asking him questions on military matters that he does not understand.
It is deplorable, but true, that excellent foot-work and head-work are rarely found to be the accomplishments of the same person.
MENDING THE BREACH
That there is a breach between the student body and the University Senate has been evident for many years in the University. This gap has widened year by year and especially is noticed this year when the continuance or repeal of the Senate's waittime restrictions is being considered.
The students declare the Senate dictates exactly what they can or cannot do and blame it for killing all student enterprise and spirit. However, no professor, or at least very few professors are singled out as being in direct opposition to the students' desires. On the other hand the faculty criticizes the students as being irresponsible and graffers in student enterprises. In proof of this they point out students who have grafted in years past but not to students in the University now.
The cause of this breach can be traced to a general misunderstanding between the students and Senate. The Senate under the present arrangement has no way of learning the desires and opinions of the student body. The student body has no way to present its affairs directly to the Senate. The students and faculty are separate and distinct under existing conditions.
Student representation in the Senate appears to be unworkable. It would be impossible to have adequate representation for voting. Also a large amount of the Senate's work does not affect the students' interests. A few students with advisory power sitting with the Senate would have little weight with the far larger body of faculty members.
The logical method of solving the problem is to have a joint Senate and student committee with equal representation of each. All matters of student interest should go before this committee and its report made before the University Senate. The entire student body must be represented in the student membership of this committee.
This probably can be worked out best by having as members of this committee the presidents of the Men's Student Council, Woman's Student Government Association, the four classes, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. These students with eight representative members of the Senate certainly could settle conflicting interests between the faculty and studentfeuds.
That such a committee is practical is shown by the workings of the student interests committee with the students called before it. These meetings, as testified by members of the committee, have proved successful in the solving of student problems.
Form a permanent coalition committee and the breach will be largely mended.
What has become of the fraternity dog? The fraternity without a large bulldog was considered nothing more than a boarding club several years ago.
The crossings on the campus are in bad condition and the chuck holes numerous. When a car hits one of these mud puddles the muddy water splashes on the passers. Often good clothing is damaged or a cleaning bill results from reckless driving on campus drives when the roads are sloppy.
Do you drive your car on the campus on sloppy days? Many students do and drive their machines at a high speed taking no notice of the students near the roads and splattering their garments with mud and slush.

MUD SPLASHING CARS
The car owners need to have more regard for the pedestrians on bad days and slow down for the crossings when students are passing.
Prof I. Markham Down says: "I never flunk a student who has a good brain and works hard."

Readable Verse
There where the autumn leaves drift down.
And all is strangely still.
LITTLE WOODEN CROSSES The little wooden crosses
The old, old church that broods over them.
Has seen no fairer sight
The little wooden crosses Upon a rocky hill.
Tear youth, and life, and light,
To sleep beneath the wooden cross;
Not sweet their rest must be.
In all the years than those who gave
Their youth, life, and light,
light.
The pain shall be to those who wait
Cross ocean mist and form
blood, the wind through the
methane.
Who made themselves a sacrifice. That all men might be free.
Who'll miss their face among the ranks
When soldier boys come home.
But this shall be their recompense,
To lift the cross they bear;
Mm. the wilt and give me
These were the gift a nation gave,
An offering and a prayer.
An offering and a prayer.
And long as mortal tongues shall live
Until the world grows old,
New heavens and new glory.
Mental Lapses
New beauty and new glory
EXTRA WEIGHT
Their memory shall entail
—Stars and Stripes.
"Look, Red! I weigh three pounds more than you do."
"Aw, you're cheatin! You've got your hands in your pockets."—Ladies Home Journal.
"John, wake up," cried his wife in the middle of the night. "There's a man downstairs. I'm sure I heard him vawn just now."

Saturday a group of freshmen and sophomores were singing for high school guests. "Please," the visiters, "Sing us the University song." There was a long pause, while sophomores and freshmen sang. "I am sorry," I never heard it," said one of them at last, and they resumed the popular ditty of Mary.
ROCK CHALK NOT KNOWN
Editor of the Kansan:
The University song has not been sung often this year or inast. The new students cannot even give Rock Chalk. Juniors and seniors who remember the old convocations with real University spirit long for frequent, live convocations.
A Senior
Until we have them, the new students will not know Crimson and the Blue, and will not have the University spirit that moves them to do their best to push things that are important for the welfare of students. In the sake of the University in its larger aspect, the juniors and seniors want convocations.
Editor Kansan:
If there is a chapter of the Theta Nu Epsilon society at the University it should be done away with. It is al-ready known that such an organization exists.
A real fraternity man will not allow himself to be initiated into the T. N. E, and the best of the nation fraternities do not allow their members to become members of the rowdy society. A list of the names of the men should be given to the students who know them and the men either required to give up their society or their University. A man cannot be true to both.
