WEDNESDAY MAY 5,1915 THOSE WHO VOTE But two kinds of persons will vote against the return of the student disciplinary powers to the Senate tomorrow. One kind will be made up of those that have held for the Council all along, and are too mule-headed to admit their own convictions, and the others are those that are responsible in some degree for the present administration, and fee' they would be admitting personal lack of efficiency if they voted for the return. To these latter we would say "Why bless your heart. It isn't you. It's the system you have been working under. You have done your best, but your hands have been tied. Go to the little booth and vote for a chance of the system that bound you. Just because you were handicapped don't be so selfish as to foist the same condition on your successor." That's what we would say to the latter kind. And a great many students of that kind will vote for the return when they see the case from an unprejudiced point. For the former we have no words, except that we wish they might be deprived of their vote, for their narrowness. It's hats off. Director McCanless' You acquitted yourself mightly well last night and you made each and every student who attended your concert proud of K. U. and just a little prouder of being a part of K. U. McCANLES AND HIS BAND You showed that you were a born leader of men. You took forty students of every rank and file of experience last September and in May you presented them to their University perfectly drilled and delightfully at home in classical pastures that would have done credit to Santelman and his marines. It takes the highest quality of leadership to get results like that. It would pay a football coach, or a debating coach, or any kind of a coach where teamwork is required, to study and profit by your methods. And the members of the band who assisted in the teamwork are also to be felicitated. The trombones ran interference in great style, the clarinets shot around the end and again and again, while the basses and drums and altoes held the team together and passed on the cheering words of the cornets and baritones. And when you all torre down the field on those thirty-second note runs, each man touching shoulder to shoulder, no one playing to the grand-stand, one felt like cheering such splendid teamwork. That's the kind of teamwork that will win for K. U. and for K. U. men and women. And even if we didn't crowd up to the platform to tell you how pleased we were, it wasn't because we didn't think it and feel it and wish that it were possible to hear such a concert oftener. THE JAYHAWKER— One of the main proofs that it is a student book is Hank Maloy's flare in the face of Prof. Arthur J. Boynton, as it is shown in Hank's own handwork. *The book deals with the University of Kansas, itself, just at it is, not its ideal, purpose, or what others think it to be. Those who go over the book will find it just that, four hundred odd pages of K. U., the things dear to the heart of the students; not only the men and women, but those inanimate objects like the Santa Fe Station, Potter Lake, McCook Field, Cameron's Bluff, etc., that portray the more attended side of student life. Occasionally there is a page or two of class room, just enough to show the folks back home. (The calendar?-Son, dignified editorial vocabulary cannot write of the calendar. But our cub would say it is "some calendar.") We should say that Manager Hackney and Editor Harsh deserve etc.—were it not that the book will speak for itself, and say that of those responsible. THE JUNIORS CELEBRATE When the cheerleader has been chosen, and the Councilmen selected, and the school leaders balloted on, and the point system and student discipline issues settled the Juniors will celebrate. They will dance all of them. But they will not be selfish. They will let others dance too. Their dance, which is held to pay off the loss of the Junior Prom, will be open to all who, with the rush and bustle of election past, wish to trip the light fantastic, and at the same time he'll along a good thing. If your man was elected to the dance and celebrate. Or if he was defealed go and dance your sorrow to death. DOCTOR ESENWEIN Dr. J. Berg Eisenwein who spoke here this morning, has seen more of humanity during his career than most men. He is not a great traveler yet in his reading of countless manuscripts including a high per cent of maiden efforts, Doctor Eisenwein has been invited to share the hopes and trials of many thousands of persons. The situations were disguised and their settings removed but the emotions were there. More sincere disappointments and longings are put forth in the guise of fiction than are told to priests in confessional. Chasing the Glooms There never was a stenographer that could take Russia's dictation of peace. Wichita won't let Willard show how he punched Johnson. Probably have no sons to lose. Five weeks until we beat it for the harvest fields. Some profs tip their hats, and others just grunt. Some people brag that Kansas is he only state in the Union that could stand more political bosses, of the grand that came from Indiana. The Colonel is "alongside-reading matter" these days. Dernberg is kicking about the United States newspapers handling of the German gas stories. The probationists have the aid and knowledge of the harrowers. The latter have to put in Sunda. Little Glimpses of College Life Working for Vassar's Birthday President Henry Noble MacCracken of Vassar College has signalized his recent incumbency of that office after the college received 600,000 endowment fund to be completed by October, 1916. This fund is to be "a birthday present to Vassar College on its twentieth anniversary"; he expressed the expounded by Dr. MacCracken as follows: "Vassar College needs first of all, proper recognition by promotion of those who have served it on its faceties and whose students do their oddly, expansion through the appointment of teachers of mature experience and eminent in their work, need feeds, thereby educational endowment, for the library and lecture system." "Nations". Instead of Fraternities At the University of Upsala the Swedish students possess a unique "fraternity" system. The young men are divided into "nations." A "nation" is a body composed of the colony that constitutes one province of Sweden. There are 13 nations, corresponding to the 13 different provinces. Each of these bodies owns a clubhouse or leases music rooms, music offices, and rooms for the use of committees. There are two kinds of members, active and honorary, the active including the students and the honorary including faculty together with former graduates and persons elected by the society. The purpose of these nations, each one of which represents a small republic, is intellectual, social and cultural unity. They are good fellowship and extreme loyalty to their home province. Scholars no Longer Headliners The closeness with which higher institutions in the United States are affiliated with life in the outside world is emphasized in watching the character of commencement speakers now being engaged for the coming June. Oberlin, for example, announces the opening of a conference in Morocco of the Toronto Globe, as its chief commencement speaker. In most colleges and universities of the United States the appearance upon the platform of a prominent and successful man of business or a high representative of public and professional life is the occasion of greater interest to the student. The most eminent academic scholar—another indication of the predominance of business over the vocation of letters which belonged to a former generation. Taft to Lecture Columbia University has engaged former President, William Howard Taft to deliver six lectures in the George Blumenthal Foundation to help prevent it be "The Presidency: Its Powers, Duties, Responsibilities and Limitations." Moslem Women Advancing Thirteen of the government "kut-tabs" have been set apart by the Egyptian officials for women students, and report an attendance of 2020 girls with 40 trained women teachers. The rapidity with which the age-long tendency to keep women ignorant in Moslem lands is being dealt with has led to the fact that in a single year recently there were 138 applications by the parents of Egyptian girls to fill 13 vacancies in these Moslem schools. Moreover, there are two women's societies in Cairo, the object of which is to give the shut-in women of that city a glimpse into the outside world. This is an important task, this accounts of the girls' schools, who present to the women of the harem talks upon what women are doing in various parts of the world. strength to do without it. In the midst of a social gathering he pleads a business engagement as an excuse for leaving. He has no business engagement, but it please him to think that he will be able to group of persons with his attention to business, even in the face of a pleasant alternative. In matters of politics and religion and other things that do not immediately touch his pocket are important to that of the majority, not because that is the way he thinks, but because to be with the majority is to be merely one of the mob, and to admit the possession of intellectual attention is difficult. He calls this independence, and as often as not he is admired for it. He is also commended for his virtues. They are stern virtues, and he clings to them successfully. He is often the most selfless and all of them involve his penchant for dissension. He is good because, to his way of thinking, the vast majority of persons are not good. He is, therefore, different and unable to understand the difficultness through for him. The only trouble with him is that he has frozen the soul out of himself. His kindness consists in avoiding opportunities to be unkind, and since kindness is the greatest virtue, he lives a free融 existence in the alleyways of life, and men pity him—Indianapolis News. DEATH TO POLITICIANS The loved one or the yard; With bursting buds and growing Give $300,000 to Princeton And Springtime's sweetest cheer. When bees near blossoms start to browse Let Senior girls awake. For after April, May will come. They must a May Queen take! Give $300,000 to diversity, following a recent meeting of its board of trustees, announces new gifts to the amount of $300,000. A committee appointed to raise $250,000 in order to secure Mrs. Russell Sage's additional subscription of $250,000 for the erection of new diving halls, reported that the board will be assisting the total amount to be raised. Thus the tide of wealth flowing toward the United States educational institutions seems to be increasing in volume despite business depression and wars. The question is asked frequently by thoughtful students. Are we security professors our business education professors who are great enough in personality and character to make their students forget the grandeur of their surroundings in seeking their ideals of life? Golf has long had the reputation of being the best athletic course in English, and just now its batting average is close to the boiling point. The April showers have have rank growth of grass that the mower can plant it on, itown, and four lost ball to a round is considered a mark of fine playing. The sweetest custom of the year.
