The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on university paper. University holdt; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cautious; to be勇敢; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help the students of the University.

WHY NOT INVESTIGATE?
Last night an editorial headed "Why Close At Twelve?" was run in the Kansas. Today more communications than can be printed have been received at the office from students commending the paper on the stand taken. Why don't some of the faculty members tell the students through the 'Campus Opinion' column just why the new closing hour was decided upon?
There is no feeling of animosity against those who were instrumental in passing the new ruling. In fact, the students believe that every member who sanctioned the new law tried, honestly and sincerely, to vote right. Every member who cast his ballot for what is considered by the undergraduate as a foolish measure, did what he thought, down deep in his heart, to be best for all. There is not a man on the board who is serving because it is any pleasure, but out of duty to the students who have gathered here from all parts of the state and nation.
How absurd!
However, an investigation carried on systematically would have revealed many things to the faculty members. It is almost impossible—under the present system—to close a dance at twelve. The guests do not arrive till nine, there is a half hour spent in getting ready to start activities, two hours spent in dancing and that leaves a thirty minute period for a banquet.
Why doesn't the faculty take some measures to enforce the rules they have already passed. Saturday night dances are supposed to close at twelve. They seldom do. If there is something the matter with the present system, the thing to do is to change it, and not make impossibilities more impossible by passing more rules.
Students of the University wish to be fair, but they also wish to be dealt with fairly. It is unfair that—under the present system (and we will use that phrase whenever it seems advisable)—those who have student affairs in charge should legislate without a practical investigation of conditions.
WHY BE THE CARBON?
To write originally is to think originally. This or that article in print might be highly original from the mind of one who has not signed it. Too many of us are carbon copies.
We don't think. Some of us can't think, but there are still a larger percentage who can but do not. A person who can work up an article about this or that subject by putting together the ideas of others is clever but not original. If he used this cleverness in developing originality, no matter what the cost, he would stride a bigger and better step than before. He would get somewhere—he would swim without the water wings. Hinging ideas on some suggestion is
very good if the hinge is not too large. The trouble so common is that the hinge is all out of proportion.
Why be the carbon copy when we can be the original? Do and think what others do not. Be the original and not the blue, mussy piece of ordinary copy.
OUR 1916 TEAM
Yea, Lindsey!
The 1916 football captain, who is to pilot the Crimson and Blue gridiron warriors to victory next fall, we greet heartily. Not a better choice could have been made and we are all with him.
The same old "fight" that was exhibited by players and students on November 13 this year will be behind the team next fall, and, with better material than has been available for the past decade, we expect captain and coaches to come upon the pigskin horizon in October with a really workable machine.
Anytime there is need of any help, yell! We'll all be there to answer the call.
THEY ASK ONLY FAIRNESS!
Why shouldn't the cross-country team be given "Ks?"
That is the question asked by many students this week. The faculty fought the measure to give those men who are working every day for the honor of the school, their letters and the Athletic Association refused to $ \dot{6} \dot{0} $ against the wishes of the teachers.
Those lightly-clad athletes spend as much time in their work as do the fellows who work out for the gridiron and more than is spent by baseball and tennis players. There is no objection to giving the tennis and baseball men the "K," but it does seem in justice to the men who, are spending their time for University supremacy as much as are any others, that they should also be given the school letter.
Why not a fair, impartial investigation instead of rulings based on sentiment and custom?
MAKE IT GO. P. M. A.
Phi Mu Alpha, honorary musical fraternity, is planning to bring a good soloist to the University for a concert. The idea is indeed a laudable one.
Local chapters of the fraternity in other schools are active along such lines. The Missouri chapter was instrumental in staging a concert by Fritz Kreisler, and another by Ian Paderewski.
What name could be more suitable for a great pacifist than Angell?
We are looking for someone to direct us to a directory, where we may find the director who directs the printing job. We are also keeping "kidding" us we want to know it.

Columbia University is giving a course this year in training mothers. Why not fathers also. Or will mother so that?
The engineers are going to have a lecture on explosives. Since the Engineering School has already turned out many of big guns, the idea is a good one.
Engineering students are receiving practical experience working on the new Kaw bridge. Seldom a day is spent on the工作 with surveying instruments.

RESULTS.
Miranda Jane of Loneconeville had such a lovely mind
so she lovingly laid off ladified, so dreadfully refined.
That all her relatives declared to go,
they should go
To give her nobilty a chance to sprout and grow...
Four years went by, and Jane returned to uncles and to "ants"
While the woman itself walked a being clad in pants;
then all her joyful relatives embraced her
Declaring "Jane has really done much better than we hoped."
"Dem Frenchmen ain't nobody",
replied the one with German sympathies.
"Why, them there Germans has de best guns in de world. A'l they wants to know is your address. They will get you".
Illinois announces that she is starting out after a basketball title game. Title team
Two negroes were discussing the European War. "I hear them Frenchmen got some cannons that man fifteen miles away," said one.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Mrs. Eustace Brown's latest is a rule that all dances shall close at 12 o'clock, because the street lights go off at 12:30; and it has a bad effect on the University to have the young students dance so late_ and then go home in the dark." Holding a dance until; 1 o'clock only one night of the week, Friday, certainly is not excessive, and if the young men of the Unit's club conduct the coords of KU. home in safety and honor, who can?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
better than we hoped. Contributed.
The students at K. U. have experienced the purging influence of the prerequisites to entering college, and come as a rule from the most experienced initted teachers in each community. Mrs. Brown's frequent and continuous rules for more stringent chaperonage, etc., always given statewide public through the Kansas, give that position which conditions exist here which do not. The students of K. U. are not irresponsible children, but men and women. Can't we be treated as such? Many regard Mrs. Brown's attitude as an act of insensitivity, a slur upon the character of the man of the school.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The plan proposed to close dances at 12:00 instead of one o'clock, may not be a progressive movement but it certainly is another step toward taking away from the student which should be regulated by him.
Faculty legislation forced or students is all right if not peremptory as is this plan of Mrs. Brown's Studenta should spontaneously make such laws for themselves otherwise stand on the statute books unp敷ed.
The students themsevues should regulate their hours. A freshman needs to be kept within bounds but an upperclassman should know what is going on, and he seemsingly good legislation impedes the unity of the community.
A SENIOR
Aready the faculty has passed enough student legislation to make the supposedly student government one of the faculty. Kansas is not a school where students are sent by their parents for the purpose of being closely confined. Restraint brings a reaction and if the faculty passes many more rulings this reaction will become evident here. This is what has happened in other institutions with too much faculty supervision.
Women who cannot take care of themselves do not belong at a state university. Nor does legislation require the student in need of a nurse girl.
The Harvard Cooperative store handles all things required by College men, from furniture to theatre tickets. It has a large and extensive financially both to stock holders and to the general student body.
A MAN WHO DOESN'T ASK FOR
A FACULTY NURSE
The membership in the cooperative society has increased this year from 3193 to 3255, the largest it has ever been. This of itself should testify to the worth of the organization. This number will be swelled by the number of students from the Technology Cooperative Society to the Harvard Society as soon as the Tech.Logy institute moves into its new building at Cambridge.
IT WORKS ELSEWHERE
The fact that dividends declared by the Harvard Cooperative Society have dropped this year from 8 per cent to 7 per cent should in no way alter the decrease in the appropriation plan is not a success. The decrease in dividend has been caused by the stoppage of the importation of foreign books and the loss of money from the furniture and parment owing to theoplease of new dormitories.
