WHAT ACTION OF THE PAN-HELLENIC MEANS
The action of the Pan-Hellenic council in pledging the fraternities not to make out dance programs before the night of a dance spells more than at a casual glance is apparent. The reasons given for the action were, that it will give those who have not planned a week ahead to attend a certain dance an opportunity of going and at the same time not playing the "wall flower" throughout the evening, and secondly that girls who go with fraternity men will meet other men than those in the one fraternity to which their escort happens to belong. These reasons are all well and good, but the action of the Pan-Hellenic has more significance than these reasons indicate.
It is bound to result in the obliteration of one of the greatest social barriers between those who do and those who do not belong to fraternities. It is a long stride towards the democratization of the student body. Fraternity and non-fraternity men and women mix in the class room, on the campus, in all the university organizations on an equality. No where else in school are the lines of social distinction drawn. But the practice of making out programs in advance has caused these lines to be firmly drawn at social gatherings. And it is not because the fraternity men intend to be "clannish." It is because of the surroundings in which each man is placed. The fraternity man finds his fellow fraternity man making out their programs and he must follow the example or abide the consequences. It is to be hoped that every fraternity and sorority will observe the new rule. There is no place in a Kansas educational institution for the setting up of lines of class distinction. The organization to which a student belongs should count for nothing in his greater relation to his fellow students in the great institution of which his organization is only a small part.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Admission One Dollar.
The business manager of the annual has given positive assurance this year that the price of the publication will not be reduced after it is once fixed. This rule is contrary to the practice of past business managers, but it is a good one. Besides being a great injustice to those who buy the book the manner in which the book was handled last year tends to cheapen the annual of the senior class. The business manager of the annual should have the support of the student body in his effort to correct these faults of past managers.
The Missouri Independent has a long editorial in last issue telling all about "the annual Jayhawker walloping" as the Independent chooses to call it. Their explanation of how they lost the relay at Kansas City is this. "Branham was not in the race, if he had have been we would have won." Last year their explanation of how they lost the relay was, "that Branham was in the race, and that he was not prepared to run the relay, and as a result they lost."

Consistency, thy name is not Missouri.
In reply to an article in the Kansan the Missouri Independent takes occasion to say that athletic eligibility rules are much better enforced at Missouri than at Kansas, all of which goes to show that the mote looks bigger in your own eye than in the eye of your neighbor. It is doubly hard to be accused of having no respect for eligibility rules just after having signed the prize bunch which Kansas helped enact at Emporia a few days ago.
Select Color and Yells.
The Freshmen met Tuesday noon and selected blue for the class color. Numerals will be secured to identify the members of the '11 track and base ball teams. A committee was appointed to select yells to be used at inter-class athletic events.
