UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

Spooner, Flint oldest buildings
FLINT HALL
Continued from page 2.
The building, with some 4,000 feet of floor space, was equipped with new machinery purchased out of a loan of $25,000 made by citizens of Lawrence and Kansas City.
Fowler chickens out
Fowler chickens out KU officials asked Fowler to speak at the dedication ceremonies which were held in 1898.
Fowler panicked. Because of his extreme bashfulness, he offered to add another $3,000 gift if the University would take back
their invitation. The University did, and Fowler never did come to the campus to see the results of his generosity.
In 1951, remodeling of the building began. On June 17, 1952, the building was re-opened and re-dicated as Flint Hall, home of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
The building was named for Leon Nelson ("Daddy") Flint. He was a member of the faculty for 40 years, and an outstanding journalist.
Student government votes Dutch date plan approval
Back in 1936, the student government passed a policy declaring that the policy to be followed from and after March 20, "in relation to social engagements between men and women students shall be on an equal financial basis."
In other words, the Women's Self Governing Association (WSGA) and the Men's Student Council (MSC) had declared all dating at KU would be on a "Dutch treat" basis.
This caused quite a stir.
Kansan interviews
The Daily Kansan reported some women questioned said they wouldn't do it. Some of the men liked the idea. Some didn't.
Of course other student governing groups had to get in the act, too. The IFC, then called the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council, voted unanimously to support the Dutch Date Dictate.
The Women's Pan-Hellenic Council then had a meeting and voted to approve the plan, too.
