The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in to go forwards than merely printing the news by taking on University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful and generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, up to what they can achieve ability to the students of the University.

ROOM FOR MORE WORK
The W. S. G. A. and the Student Council have appointed a committee of seven to arrange for the submitting of the point system and election grouping propositions to the students. The plan is to hold the elections for the men and women on the same day, one election to be held in the spring and the other in the fall. This grouping with the point system added will clear up a lot of bad conditions at K. U., and the amendments will get the vote of every thinking student.
But the committee has room for more good work. It can go farther and make the governing bodies themselves more efficient. Make better student government. With one election in the fall and one in the spring it would be an easy matter to elect a part of the body at each election.
On the Student Council the president, vice-president, secretary, three members from the College, two from the School of Engineering, and one from the School of Law, could be elected at the spring election. The others could be chosen the following fall. The officers coming into office in the spring would then have a number of men on the Council experienced through the whole year with whom to take up work. And the new members elected in the fall would have officers experienced to guide them.
The officers should be elected together in the spring so that they may formulate during the summer some program of work for the following year.
The committee could apply the same plan to the W. S. G. A. election. The officers and one member from the three upper classes could be chosen in the spring, and the other three upperclass members and two freshmen representatives in the fall. This would give the permanence and resultant efficiency that cannot come from a new council chosen at one election.
The committee has room for such work, and will do much to further the program of progressiveism in student government which it represents if it submits such a plan to the students. The students will adopt it if given the chance. They want good and efficient government.
ANOTHER UNI. CLUB
Why not a University women's club as well as a University men's club? There are now sixty-five women among the University faculty, the wives of faculty members and numbers of University graduates in Lawrence who have no common place at which they may meet. Surely a University club would increase their
interest in the University. It would provide a place for the women to meet without having to make special arrangements for it; it would provide a place for University women to entertain women interested in the University; and it would provide a place for the faculty women to give their University women's teas.
Interest in dormitories for women seems to have died out of late. Would not a University club arouse interest in the dormitories and tend to keep the idea alive while we are patiently waiting For a generous legislature?
The women of the University are considering buying a club house. There is no reason why their plan should not succeed. A great many of the women of the faculty are rooming and boarding at student clubs or with private families. If a University club were established it would be a great deal more agreeable for them to live at the club house.
University women are too busy to arrange for meeting very often, and if a club were established where they could meet without effort whenever they had time and inclination it would provide a much needed place of recreation.
CON'S STORY

Student Opinion
NEED ASSISTANT, COACH Editor Kansan;
The defeat of the Kansas track team at the hands of Missouri last Friday means more to the University than the mere losing of a meet. It means that young men are saying, "Missouri put one over with a weak team," and their fathers are saying, "This Missouri crowd must have a great spirit." Another woman men who saw that meet, I want to say that I think the best team lost and that it lost because it was zachoo in a hasty manner.
As I understand the present situation, Kansas has no regular track coach other than the General Manager and basketball coach. He is too busy to handle the whole thing and the way the meet terminated showed this conclusively. Fellows like the Kansas pole vaulter and high jumper had such natural ability as their successful opponents but they did not look as though they had been carefully coached. Their form was poor.
Just as long as this policy continues, I expect to see Kansas loss most of the indoor meets with Missouri for they have one man who denies Christmas and he is helped by the general director of athletics at times. If Kansas is to compete successfully with her opponents, I think that an assistant to Hamilton, who is now cramped for time, ought to be obeyed in every way. I think having this big Kansas City meet a donation party for it is doing the University an immediate damage which it will take several wins to wipe out. K. U. ought to get a helper out this defeat decisively before the outdoor season opens. The material is there.

THE MODERN PIONEER
Once proper for long years ago, there was a very cruel highwayman of Attica. And it was his custom, extraordinary as it sounds, to require passers-by to fit his standard of size, which was a most unusual height. He was tall and barebed, and if a poor mortal happened to be too long for this cot, old Procrustes, as he was called, would lap off his legs to accord with its length. This was painful enough, but woe be that! Procrustes had a Withdraw of his mighty hands, Procrustes would stretch the poor man's limbs until they reached the iron foot-board. And verily, this custom of the cruel art of causing cannibalism to who were innocent swoller, but those who were wise went a long way around to avoid him.
THE MODERN PROCRUSTES
Many thousands of years later there lived another generation of Procrustes at the University of Kansas. These cruel poachers collected and regulated, and whether their standard was correct or no matter not at all to them. Inventive was the outcome if any poor wayfarer chanced to pass their
way, for he met his fate! As sure as students do-not come to college to study, so sure were the morals and demeanor and manners and customs of the traveller lopped off by these various Procrustes. No matter how many or womanly, or high-principled, or well-bred were the victims, if they did not accord with the iron regulations of their society, they were suited of limb—figuratively speaking—or else stretched to unnatural size by these cruel giants.
Now the moral of this tale is as follows; if ye Procreatus, whether ye be room mate, classmate, professors, Sunday school teacher, or fond parent, would but stop and measure others, not by thine own measuring stick, perfect as it may not be, but by a standard footwear, because can be, ye will find that morals are not so bad after all. And there will be many more travellers abroad in the land unmanned by thy cruel words and practises.

MARCH
(This ought to have an anaesthetic but old Bill Wordworth thought the same thing in different language.)
Then I told them.
To class I'm going.
The day is gloomy,
I kicked my room.
His lessons are too long,
His voice is a sing-song.
His logic is chatter,
His reason is clatter:
I hope he will give me a one!

The snow comes again,
And we do fare ill

There's no fun in this strife,

Lagripe prevailing.
Chasing the Glooms
He of himself is good and, great
He does not boast a high estate
Above mankind, nor does he need
To trace from far-descended seed
His lineage—in him he can
Be nothing but a gentleman.
