COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
On Wednesday the University Council met in special session to consider the joint petition of the four classes concerning suspended students. The petition read as follows:
To the University Council: The petitions from the respective classes to the Board of Regents were for the purpose of obtaining a better understanding between the faculty and students as to University discipline. Believing this object can be better obtained from the University Council we wish to refer the matter to you.
As authorized representatives of the classes we desire a conference between representative students and the proper University authorities for the purpose of arriving at a permanent understanding as to matters of discipline, and affording a method of student presentation of their side of such affairs.
In behalf of the suspended students, who we believe have borne their punishment in the proper spirit, we wish to ask that their term of suspension be reduced by one week. We feel justified in saying that such action would be rightly interpreted and appreciated by the student body who feel that the desired end of the discipline has been obtained. Signed by the presidents of the four classes.
Lawrence, Kas., April 23, '02. The Council acted favorably upon both requests. The suspended students will return to school Monday. The Chancellor appointed Profs. Carruth, Marvin, Williston, Haworth, Franklin as committee to act with student representation in coming to an understanding.
The Council was the proper authority to be appealed to in this matter. Minute investigation of the unfortunate affair by a higher authority would only have brought about greater publicity or more adverse comments and whatever the merits of the case, the establishment of such a precedent would in all likelihood have prevented the board from rendering a element decision.
The action of the Council is a logical procedure and will meet with universal approval. Had such a step been taken several years ago and a precedent established in rulings on class fights many deplorable incidents
would have been obviated. The legitimate expression of college spirit will be defined. Rules and penalties for infringements will be laid down. The fact that our finest students are always involved in these class scraps is conclusive proof that these are not malicious outbursts. These students, from their standpoint think they are committing no outrages in a color fight or they would not be mixed in them. Free excitement may impell them to do imprudent acts and they are willing in every instance to manfully suffer reasonable punishment for their offences. Only when the affair is entirely misunderstood, its importance misinterpreted and greatly magnified, do they demur.
The rulings made by the proposed conference will tend to decrease a certain recklessness that now exists. Owing to the fact that in the past, there has been apparently no definite discrimination between friendly "scraps and rowdyism," the students participating heretofore feel assured that whether in doors or out, the scrap in any case meant suspension, and consequently he rushed into the fray with a sort of blind heedlessness; on realizing that degree of criminality did not always affect the award of punishment; that passive presence on the sidelines might by the caprice of the lot involve deep implication, he hastened to bury himself in the thickest of the fight.
The WEEKLY is assured that the action of the council will be properly interpreted by the student body. The suspended students have taken their punishment in a way that would justify this element action of the Council and we must not impute the decrease of sentence to policy or any other reason whatsoever than a highest interest in the welfare of the students committed to its charge. Both students and faculty are vitally interested in the proper discipline and reputation of this institution. Both should cooperate to this end. If the students' voice is recognized in the formulation of rules, they will feel a personal responsibility in the enforcement of them. The experiment is at least worthy of trial.
K. U. is playing "tough luck" in debates and oratorical contests this year. A retrospective view over the field is rather discouraging. In our first sally we succumbed to Baker. Last Friday we met a double defeat at the hands of Colorado and Missouri respectively. It is the unpleasant duty of the editor to moralize upon such conditions and picture with facile pen the lessons to be gained therefrom. It seems to us that these defeats would argue strongly for several things. Pre-eminently, of course, comes the plea for greater interest and support in oratorical lines. If only a small portion of our University be interested in our oratorical record, then we should comply with the implied content of this indifference and rearrange our schedule. We have winning talent in our midst, but it would require a block and tackle to drag them from their modest reticence. So
long as such a lack of interest is apparent it is highly foolish for us to compete with institutions where oratory is at least on a par with other student undertakings and often paramount to every other interest. We should, by all means, confine our contests to state institutions. Over the state, where the conditions are not understood, defeat at the hands of a small denominational school means most disgraceful disparagement. Further these reverses should decide the regents to establish the optional course in oratory petitioned for some time ago. We believe such a course wold be sufficiently patronized to justify its establishment, and would incidentally reanimate the waning interest oratory and debate and directly afford our representatives a more graceful delivery, and perhaps greater skill in the presentation of their argument.
The following clipping was taken from the Sapulpa Light. Later advices state that Mr. Wilder was elected. FOR RECORDER.
Webster Wilder is one of the class Republicans upon whom the future of our territory depends. He is representative of the best young blood in the states which is rapidly filling up the Indian country. His father, D. W. Wilder, was one of the moulder's of bloody Kansas' history and the son will in his turn help shape the destiny of the Indian territory. Mr. Wilder is a graduate of the University of Kansas both from the arts and law school. But his earlier association does not make him the least bit stilted or puffed up. He is as congenial to the laborer as any man can be. In bestowing upon him the nomination for city recorder, the Republicans of Sapulpa reward his frankness, his integrity, his popularity and his ability. Webster Wilder was the unanimous choice of the Republicans, there not being an opposing candidate mentioned. A more appropriate choice could not have been made.
As the woods grow green, we hope to see the various boarding clubs occasionally pack their hampers and betake themselves to the neighboring groves, there to have an evening romp and lunch. The outing will prove a most beneficial diversion. A few clubs in the University circles have departed from the usual rut and routine and developed club life into true fraternity spirit. Instead of being mere institutions for providing food, they have been made the instruments for furtherring friendships and practical keep and wholesome amusement. To those students who do not enjoy the social privileges of fraternity life, these clubs are real booms. The success of these institutions are proverbial. The opportunities for doing good in this line are unlimited and it would be wise for many of our clubs to adopt this plan.
The great handicap that sickness would work on our students should bring forcibly to the pub-
lie mind the urgent necessity of the stringent enforcement of the quarantine laws. It is incumbent upon the student body to assist in every way possible in such enforcement, and to disapprove of the flagrant violations that do sometimes occur. Quarantines often work havoc with our plans and are a misfortune for those who come under their ban. But when we consider the calamity that contagions bring to the majority of our students, prudent compliance with the law is only a just protection.

Politics and Our State University.
An article in the Topeka Capital of April 13, under the above caption, hits the nail square on the head. I wish the voters in the State could read it, as well as learn what the State University of Kansas has done for the State.
If it be true that the State Universities in the neighboring states of Missouri and Nebraska have drawn away from us, it is high time that the friends of the University of Kansas in Douglas and all other counties in the State put forth a supreme effort to send representatives to the next legislature who will boldly and tearlessly demand that the State University of Kansas be taken out of the field of politics, and placed on the same basis as the University of Michigan, which does not depend upon an appropriation by the legislature, but upon a tax levied upon the property of the whole State.
Surely in a progressive state like Kansas, where public schools are the pride of the State, that it is not the wish of her citizens to cripple the noblest and grandest institution of learning within her borders by political dickering.
Let the good work begin here at home by sending representatives from Douglas County to the next legislature men of experience and learning who will stand up for our State University and demand her rights.-George Innes in the Lawrence Journal.
