APPROPRIATIONS AND CAPPER
He who multiplies Riches multiplie Cares.
Ben Franklin.
Two years ago Arthur Capper was a candidate for Governor of the State of Kansas. At that time, while making his campaign, he talked to the students of the University from the steps of Green Hall, and he told of the needs of K. U. and how he would be glad to aid the school in getting what it needed, when elected. All K. U. believed in these promises and cheered vociferously for the future governor of the fair state of Kansas.
Last year the legislature met. Appropriations for the state schools came before the body. The Governor, in the midst of his heavy duties, forgot that the state University needed buildings, that the class-rooms were crowded, and that the equipment was inadequate and antiquated. The University failed to receive the appropriations hoped for.
While visiting the campus last week, the Governor admitted that the University has a strong faculty, but that "they must have facilities with which to work—buildings and equipment." Arthur Capper, candidate for re-election, is ready to admit that the time is ripe for the University to have a sufficient appropriation.
Campusology continues to bat 100 per cent efficient. And cuts are frowned on by members of the class.
We hope the Governor really feels the time is ripe. We, here at the University, have felt so right along. We felt 10 when the appropriation was up before the legislature last winter, and was refused.
May we hope, that after the Governor is re-elected. that he will not forget?
THE LITTLE THINGS
It was the day before elections. The various candidates were being discussed.
"Well," said the freshman College, "I'm going to vote for A——B——for he always has a pleasant smile, and speaks when he meets a fellow. You don't have to be all dilled up to get a pleasant word from him, either."
It's the little things that count.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
The University of Kansas will hold its annual spring elections tomorrow. Those running for office are tearing their hair in an agony of suspense. If the political methods used in the last week are any indication of the kind of election that we are going to have the student body and the faculty are in for a surprise. All indications point to a cleaner political situation than at any time in the last few years, and, with this spirit in the foreground, it will be unfortunate if anything is done tomorrow to create scandal. There is little doubt but that the fall elections
were dishonest, to what degree it is impossible to determine. Such conditions reflect upon the entire school. Log rolling, and stuffing the ballot boxes may be expected in large city elections to a certain extent but in the University of Kansas, corrupt political practices have no place. They are manifestly contrary to the ideals of a university and the student who allows himself to be drawn into crooked political gangs is deliberately hindering the development that he should obtain while attending college.

GOOD MUSIC APPRECIATED
University lovers of high class music were given a treat yesterday, in having the privilege of hearing the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra both in the afternoon and evening. The Orchestra has some of the best musicians in the country in its personnel.
Lawrence is fortunate in being able to bring them here as a part of the University Concert Course. The appreciative audience that filled the gymnasium at both concerts, is proof that there are those at the University who are glad of the opportunity to support good music.

After we hear all the learned comments, we sometimes wonder if Shakespeare knew he did it.
Visitor: "For heaven's sake, what's all the yelling and jabbering in there about? Is somebody killed or murdered?"
Stude: "Oh no, that's just a sorority meeting, and they've turned to the discussion of new members."

If Villa has been dead as long as they claim he has, it seems to us that it shows rather poor judgment to demand his body.
Old Grandpa Hawkins, who has St Vitus' dance, got the first chiggerite of the season on the back of his jeek. It bothered him quite a bit until he fixed sand-paper in his collar. Now he's perfect happy.
It's really no concern of ours, but we've been wondering, in case T. R. and Billy Sunday should get together to keep the conversation from dragging?

POET'S CORNER
Paul Lawrence Dunbar was the first of the Negro race to evince an innate distinction in literature. Both his parents were in slavery before he became a student of Puskin in Russia, both had negro blood in their veins, but Dunbar is the first of pure African blood to take up an interest in literature. He wrote about the relation of the limitations of his race and delightfully, their characteristics.

The word is often in a different position. It can be the end of a line, or it may be part of the sentence. Here, it's part of the sentence.
But they roll on, and daily shut their eyes
On me, as one I shall do on them,
And tell me what I ask.

TOO SEVERE ON GIRLS?
Editor Daily Kansan:
Indignant.
The writer of this protest is a firm believer in strict school discipline and regulation, and is in no sense in sympathy with the knackers. However, when injustice is done to fellow students, University student to protest, when injustice is done to fellow students. The writer wishes to protest most emphatically against the practice of the women's gymnasium department in forcing injured students to make injuries which were caused by injuries received while doing gymnasium work.
Another case is that of a freshman girl who injured her ankle while in the pool, and missed two weeks of gym as a consequence. She, too, must make this up. Such a practice is inexcusable and unjust to the injured parties and should not be tolerated.
Two examples are cited. One girl, a sophomore, received a wrenched shoulder while giving an exhibition gymnasium lesson. She was compelled to miss nearly three weeks of gym. Yet the department has insisted that she must make this time up before receiving any credit.
SENIORS! PAY YOUR DEBTS
Editor Daily Kanan:—
The Class of 1916 owes some debts in Lawrence that ought to be taken care of right away. The action of M. A. A. Bickel, who owns a grocer at the local store, St. St., was perfectly justified. I talked to Mr. Bigelow this morning and he said that he thought the debt could be settled without the action of any court. He doesn't want the news to go out over the state that the students are allowed to do their business neither do any of the others to whom the members of this class are indebted. Whether the members of the class as individuals have known anything of our obligations does not matter. The fact remains that the class owes the students money to pay them the rent cents from each member would meet all obligations.
While I will acknowledge that the merchants of this hamlet are about twenty years behind the times; do not back the school in the way they should; don't support the University Daily Kansan in the way they ought to (the business manager of the Kansan tells me that the paper receives less support its circulation is limited, indoors, down in their pockets to entertain visitors as do the merchants of other towns—still, we should not try to beat one man out of nearly $60 to spite the rest of the gang.
I have my twenty little red copers ready to pay to some committee which President Randolph ought to appoint at once. I want to see all
these debts paid. I want to leave school without a biot on my class. Most of all I don't want to have my school advertised out over the state in the way the Toppea Daily Capital newspaper seems to take pride in advertising her.
Let's get together, Sixteens, pay off this debt, create a better spirit between the school and the town, and maybe someday, the Lawrence Merchants and Farmers Association will awaken to the real significance of the University of Kansas and how much it means to them in bread and butter. Teachers should ask that students have to educate their elders, but, if some of my business friends down town would turn loose enough money to get out of town once in a while they would see some of their own shortcomings.
CHAPEL ATTENDING PROFS
Senior.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Question: How do the professors make themselves consenting?
Answer: By their absence at chapel!
Complain has often been made because more interest is not taken by the student body in the chapel hour. Plans have been used to arouse interest and secure a larger attendance of the students. We do not use some of the professors' services. Should they not be head promoters of the morning service? Only 2 per cent of the whole student body attend chapel and 2.7 per cent of the professors! Almost the same in general average. Should it be thus? According to number there should be fifteen times as many students as professors at chapel each morning. But since the profession of our situation does not show enthusiasm for the service, what can be expected of the students?
REFLECTIONS ON OSCULATION
Soph.
He kissed me—I know 'twas wrong,
For he was neither kith nor kin;
Need one do penance very long,
For such a tiny little sin?
He pressed my hand—that wasn't right!
Why will men have such wicked ways?
ways:
It wasn't for a minute quite.
In it there were days and days.
There's mischief in the moon I know,
I'm positive I saw her wink;
I don't like her.
When I requested hint to go,
I meant it too, I almost think.
But, after all, I'm not to blame.
He took the kis! I do think men Are quite without the sense of
I wonder when he'll come again.
