A STEP BACKWARD.
The action of the ways and means committee of the Legislature regarding the University budget recalls the time when the state institutions suffered a setback under the Populist regime in Kansas. The University was many years in recovering from the effects of the short-sighted "economy" of the Populist Legislature. In fact, in an important educational sense it never has recovered from the crippling it received in that period, for other schools of which it was then the equal, now rank above the University of Kansas. Those schools received consistent support and their growth was not interfered with.
If the Legislature backs up the committees, the University is bound to suffer, and almost as much as during Populist days, Everyone at all cognizant with educational conditions is free to admit that the Populist Legislature's treatment of the University was a grievous mistake.
And just as surely as the present Legislature denies needed support to state education, it will work far reaching harm, and the fact will be recognized by all the people in days to come when there is no way of repairing the damage.
Can the Legislature of Kansas afford to face to the rear and take up its march away from progress?
Speaking of broken resolutions, where are those senior law mous taches which were to flourish without let or hindrance until Kansas triumphed over Missouri in football?
If the anti-profanity league which has its headquarters on Mississippi street, would establish branch clubs on the other side of the Hill its "spreads," which are paid for by the fines, would come at more frequent intervals.
The women of the Black Mask and the Silver Serpent, two societies of the University of Nebraska spent a day recently soliciting subscriptions for the Daily Nebraskan. The Nebraskan was compelled to cut down in size this year for lack of patronage, but apparently it still has some valuable friends.
All the departments of the University have separate seminar rooms in the library,but one and that seems to be one of the most popular courses offered on "the hill." If a student wishes to read up on economics or logic he may go into a private room which is stocked with the books which he wishes, but if he wants to talk there is no place for him to do it. The need of a social or talking seminar is commanding.
for now the students have to do the conversing in the reading rooms, at a great inconvenience to themselves.

The Horrors of War.
T. M. Godfrey, a junior in the School of Engineering, spoke before the Chemical society Wednesday afternoon. He choose as his subject the "Symthetic Jewels" and spoke of the manufacture of artificial rubies and diamonds.
Juniors Address Society.
Mr. Godfrey said, "although it is not possible to manufacture diamonds on a commercial scale,the manufacture of rubies has been so perfected that perfect stones of ten karats may be regularly obtained." These are identical with the natural rubies in chemical composition, color and optical properties.
Gilbert A. Bragg, a junior in the Engineering School, also spoke on, "Paint and Its Adulteration." He sounded a warning to the users of paints, not to buy the cheap paints sold by the mail order houses.
Guy Smith, who has been attending school at Green Castle and., has again entered the University.

I spy a sweet maid tripping down the stairs
And my heart quick-steps to a double beat

She passes, leaning on another's arm! 'Tis true, one day I met a maid who seemed
To fit all the perfection I had dreamed Of womanhood. With fancy all a-glow I took her to the dance, the park, the

Thinks Council Would Act.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
In a recent issue of The Kansan you have a criticism on what you term the inactivity of the Student Council, regarding the stand taken by that body in regard to the base ball situation. The Council has refused to try to enforce the eligibility rules. Why should they enforce them? They had no part in making these rules and have no sympathy with them, feeling as a large number of students do that the rules are foolish and unjust. If the students through their representatives had any part in making these rules, I believe that the students would see that they were enforced. The tendency in the last two years has been to take away from the students whatever control over athletics they may have had. For instance the athletic board, having a practical majority of student members, has been relieved by the Board of Regents of the responsibility of employing our coaches. Dr.MeClung, the member elected by the athletic board to represent the University in the Missouri Valley conference has also been largely relieved of his duties by this same Board of Regents. Now the students through their Council are asked to act as police and enforce the eligibility rules, but nothing whatever is said of allowing the Council to have any voice in making these rules. I think that our Council would be found active enough, were there any chance to get a decent change in the rules. Why not have some rules that could be enforced and that it would be reasonable to enforce?
