THE NEW MOVEMENT
In setting on foot active efforts to secure a Students' Union building for the University, the Student Council has hit upon an issue which merits and will receive the heartiest support of the entire student body. The University has grown to the point where such a building is already badly needed and inside of a few years it will be a necessity. With the growth of the institution there is a tendency to lose the unity of interest which is necessary to a proper University spirit. The housing of each school in its own building causes a lessening of the common bond which smaller bodies feel. The movement to secure a Students' Union will counteract this tendency in the University of Kansas, and when the structure is actually in place on the campus it will serve as a common meeting ground for the students of all departments.
ON FOOT OR HORSEBACK?
The nucleus of the fund with which the building will be erected, will be money contributed by the students of the University. For many years past that money has gone into the pockets of individuals who were entrusted with the management of student enterprises. The profits of some of these enterprises have been so large as to constitute almost a public scandal. Student managers have pocketed profits out of all proportion to the service rendered, with the result that a part of the public which did not care to contribute to private "graft" has withheld patronage which now will be given gladly. Students who undertake the responsibilities of management of senior class activities will, under the new arrangement, still receive adequate financial reward for time and labor expended, and they will be freed from the suspicion of receiving money which they did not earn.
It won't do any harm, even this early in the term for the students of the University to devote some thought to the problems surrounding the wrong of "cribbing" in examinations. One member of the faculty has referred to cribbing as the one great blot on the student life of the University of Kansas, and it can't be denied that the practice has been distressingly common in recent years.
Consciences students dislike to see cribbing because they know

that their own honest work is likely to suffer in comparison with the examination paper that is prepared with the aid of v "pony." They dislike still more to expose the cheating student because they imagine vaguely that in doing so they will be violating the code of ethics that should govern students.
But is the man who steals his class standing entitled to more consideration, after all, than the man who appropriates the laboratory apparatus which he finds lying around loose? He harms himself and does a wrong to every members of his class.
Every student is liable to find himself "up in the air" over some of the questions in an examination. But his experience with aviation, unpleasant though it may be, will be less unprofitable than for him to try to ride along the highway of learning on a forbidden mount. It is time to turn the ponies out to pasture and to swat the college cheat.
A few days more, and the first football game of the season will enable the students to form some idea of the kind of team the University will have this year. It is more than likely that the men on the team are wondering what sort of a student body they will have back of them this year. They are entitled to all the support the student public has power to give. Every man who can should join the rooting section and make the first welcome of the students to the team a rousing one.

To the Editor of The Kansan;
To the Editor of The Kansas:
I am a student in the University of Kansas for the first time and I am frank in saying I think there is something wrong with the way courses are arranged and managed in this institution. As early as Thursday of registration week a section in which I wished to enroll was filled to the limit. The instructor of this class was asked to take another section of the class in order to accommodate a number of students who wished to take the work. After some debate, the instructor decided to take up the extra burden that another class would make, but on application to the proper authorities found that it would not be allowed.
As a result some twenty or thirty students have not been allowed to take a desired course which, by the way, is not a snap course. I feel that wrong has been done me personally. I have been engaged to teach that particular course in my home high school. As I have had no previous preparation in the work and have been refused preparation by the University, I feel that an injustice has been done. I think steps should be taken to prevent any future repetition of this seemingly neglectful attitude on the part of the University authorities.
SCHOOL MA'AM.
STUDENTS THOUGHTLESS.
Heed Moral Questions Too Little,
Says Dr. Johnston.
Dr. Charles H. Johnston, dean of the School of Education, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the results secured by experiments upon college students in this country. He told of investigations made by professors to determine the answers of students to certain general moral questions. The result seemed to indicate a lack of thoughtfulness upon the part of students even when they had abundant ability and energy.
In his own experiments with 137 students at the University of Michigan, Professor Johnston had given to them a list of twenty-five ideals toward which he wished them to strive.
He also asked his students to record how near they were able to reach the indicated ideal. The result of the experiment seems to prove that the attitude of the student has much to do with the measure of success he achieves.
