MAKE COUNCIL STRONGER
Some students do not take kindly to the proposition of the return of student disciplinary power to the Senate by the Student Council because they believe it means doing away with the Student Council. They are misinformed. The return of the power will not destroy the Council.
On the contrary it will leave a stronger Council, one that can carry out programs of student interest, not embassaded by the necessity of expelling or reprimanding fellow-students. With the disciplinary power out of their hands the members of the Council would be spared the isolation now existing, and could get among the students, hold their confidence, and do things now impossible.
The return of the discipline certainly will not kill the Student Council.
IF THEY WANT IT
If the students want a College Day they may get it by signing the petitions, then taking part as much as possible. If they are not willing to work for the Day they do not serve it.
There is as much reason for a College Day as there is for an Engineers' or Laws' and there is every reason for these Days. College students have as much peep as any others.

STUDENT OPINION
Editor Kansan:
Editor Kamal
On May 4 the students of the University decide whether they are capable of self government or whether they must be placed under the control; of the faculty. This is a question of vital interest to every student in K. U. and every voter should obtain a thorough knowledge of the matter before he casts his ballot either for or against it.
There is absolutely no room for doubt that student government, under the present form of administration, is a failure and the entire system is pernicious in that it shows the student body up in its worst light. Now the question naturally arises, why is student government a failure? As a senior University of Kansas? As a senior I would hesitate before I attempt to answer it. So many demands enter into the causes of its failure that it is impossible to point out any one thing and say that it is responsible.
It may be that the wrong men have been placed on the Council, or that the Council has not had stamina enough to declare war and make power strong. Personally I do not believe that such is the case. Themen upon the present Council are representative students and I do not believe that any other student should be part of body who could better serve the school as a whole.
and seem trouble must lie deeper. It must be owing to some inherent defect in our present system of running the University and, since we, as students, are unable to materially better the conditions of the school as regards its management, not only the power of the power of the Student Council until such a time as conditions shall seem ripe to place it in successful operation.
Theoretically student government is logical and should be effective. Practically it has proved a weak and ineffective method of administering discipline. The body has degenerated into a group of men who meet and talk and do little else. The Council allowed the Men's Student Union to close it proved that it was a fault in power to do things and that it could not rise to a crisis. This one act should have sounded the death knell of the body in the mind of every thoughtful student in the school.
It may be that when K. U. gets a dormitory system and places the students in a position where they will naturally take some UP degree as a university, that it can be governed by a body of students selected by popular vote. But at present, and the present is what every student consider upon May 6, the system is a mere and should pass out of existence.

DON'T POKE FUN AT THE BOY
All through the fragrant April afternoon old men with crutch or cane sit in a building's shade, compare this season with that of a year long gone, said in their unutterable longing for the days of youth and things as used to be, glayed on gates and flowers again to look forward almost with glee to the day a week or two away when the dying embers of sport in each old heart will be fanned into a flickering flame, by the daily afternoon game of horseshoes, which he played by the old livery barn. And when that game starts, spring—gentle spring—has come to southern Kansas. —Toronto Republican.
IN FRAGRANT APRIL
STUDENTS BROKE THEN TOO
Same Old Story; Wrote Home to Dad
for Money
Like the student of today, the medieval scholar was continually and eternally in need of money. "A student's first song is a demand for money," writes an Italian father, "and there will never be a letter that does not ask for cash." Letters are of course usually addressed
to parents, though sometimes to others,
and commonly announce that the student is at such and such a centre of learning, well and happy, but in dire need of money. Sometimes books, parchment, and others supplies are sought directly from home. Arguments for granting the request are numerous—living is expensive, owing to famine, crop failure, or seize, the messenger sent with money had been robbed, or had absconded, and so on.
And Got Called Down
Sometimes, as now, a student meets with reproof. This is from a father to his son at Orleans: "I have recently discovered that you live dissolutely and slothfully, preferring license to restraint, and play to work, and strumming a guitar while others are at their studies, whence it happens that you have read but one volume of law, while you more informational professions have read seventh. This is followed by an exhortation to the wayward one to mend his ways.
The arrival of students at school is frequently the occasion for a long letter describing the journey and the new surroundings. Travel was pericarious, and facilities poor. Bouncemono of Bologna devotes his collection to accidents that may befall one on his way to a university town.
Once in a university, leaving is always distasteful. Always the students ask an extension of their time of study. One deems it folly to forsake Pallas for Venus, since one can always find a wife, but science last can never be recovered.
Theology Was Popular
Quite naturally the students' letters reveal little of the recreational side of their life, and if they be taken solely, one gains the impression that the student of 500 years ago was a model of diligence and industry. An abundance of material of another kind is found in the French sermons of the 15th century, although they were designed to edify rather than record. These sermons are especially numerous and well-written during this period. Naturally they designate the theology as the all-important study, and the arts as merely preparatory.
Theological study was the natural road to ecclesiastical preferment, and the preachers complain that the chief hope of too many students is in securing a good benefice or prebend. Frequently a benefice is conferred upon an illiterate, who then repairs to a university for knowledge—"like a physician who should take his pay, leave his patient, and go to Salero to study mediene."
The ideal scholar, according to the preacher, was obedient, respectful, and eager to learn. Robert de Sorbon lays down rules for successful study: a fixed time for each subject, concentrated attention, memorizing specific things, conference with others, and prayer.
