STUDENT CONTROL OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
At the next meeting of the Pan-Hellenic the matter of organizing a student council for the purpose of initiating a system of student government in the University will be taken up and an effort made to decide on some plan. The Pan-Hellenic is a very fitting organization to take up the question, but before anything definite is done amore representative body of students should take charge of the affair. There are several methods by which a representative student body may be chosen. One scheme suggested is to let the Good Government Club take charge of the arrangements. As this club is a representative organization and is expert in questions of government it seems that it would be a good organization to launch the system. Another plan proposed is to have a meeting of representatives chosen from the different student organizations of the University such as clubs, fraternities, musical and debating organizations, etc. Still another method that may be used is to call a mass meeting of students and have them select a number of representative students who can perfect the organization and make it permanent. Any of the schemes are good ones. It is not so much the method in which the change is brought about as it is a question of having it brought about. If the Pan-Hellenic wants to do something that will really be a service to the school it has a splendid opportunity. The movement will have the enthusiastic support of the faculty and the Kansan believes of the students. Kansas is one of the few state institutions in the country that does not have some kind of student control of student enterprises. Events of the past few weeks have made the time propitious for action. The Kansan hopes to see something decisive at the coming meeting of the Pan-Hellenic.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It is about time for the politics
ical bee to begin buzzing. Here's hoping for the sake of a scrap that the athletic election in April will not be as tame an affair as the election last fall.
It is with some degree of satisfaction that the Kansan today announces that there will be a spring vacation sometime during the coming month. One thing that makes the Chancellor hesitate in announcing a vacation is because there is a tendency among the students to leave for home a day or two before the vacation begins and not return until after school has been going for some time. It seems only reasonable that when the students are granted a vacation not on the schedule they should make the responsibility of the Chancellor as light as possible by not taking a longer vacation than is granted them.
Why not organize a Gymnastic team in the University? All the state universities, even Missouri, have gym teams that play a prominent part in their athletic affairs. There is an annual contest held between
