Kansan Assembly Ideas Can Be Basis Of Improvement
The work of bettering our University is progressing. Responsibility for such betterment must be shouldered by all of us, and particularly by the leaders, both present and potential, who attended the recent leadership conference sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem.
It is up to those people to remember their duty next year—to remember the excellent suggestions which were made and to promote them into actuality. Unless they keep the ideas of the conference before the campus, it will be forgotten.
The question of how much the meeting did for the University must wait until next year to be answered. We wonder—will traditions, both rah-rah and serious, be revived and stressed when activity begins next fall? Will students work to realize the highly recommended pre-enrollment and pre-registration plan?
Will today's ineffectual election system be succeeded by a plan resulting from sound thinking on the part of students? And if such a system becomes a reality, will it promote a more efficient student government? A student council which has vision as well as an understanding of both student and faculty problems? Will proposals such as sub-committees of non-council members, headed by council representatives, be organized for more thorough insight into pending issues?
We wonder. Next year will tell the story.
Peacetime Draft Plan Meets Opposition Among Educators
Washington, June 6—Opponents of the peacetime draft proposals began a three day fight today before the House Postwar Military Policy committee.
Spokesmen representing a large segment of the nation's educators urged defeat or postponement of the measure until after the war. It is a threat to the "regimentation of the mind" according to A. J. Brumbaugh, vice-president of the American Council on Education.
The Rev. Dr. William J. Miller, president of the University of Detroit, contended that universal draft would "create suspicion, mistrust, and fear among our allies" and would "stimulate a universal armament race."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through William H. Hastie of Washington, expressed the fear that it would add to the present problem of racial discrimination in the armed forces.
The University of Kansas through Chancellor Malott, is one of the universities advising postponement of consideration of compulsory training until after the war.

Rock Chalk Talk
Dick Nelson, new initiate of the one white rose fraternity, has been seen the past two days, shivering in the cold air without a coat. It is not because he does not have one. At the sound of the whistle, Nelson rushes frantically to the most crowded side of the street so that all may see the hardware now emblazoning his expanded chest.

Charles Moffett didn't hear a thing!

until good nights were said, and sleepy sisters started out to the sleeping porches. Mattresses were scattered in every direction; sheets and blankets were all in one heap on the floor; and the doors' were blocked with beds. That wasn't so bad.
