THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Panels Aid ASC In Charting Plan For More Service
The meeting of the University All Student Council last week accomplished two things. The turnout of 150 students to the meeting proved again that persons on this campus are determined to maintain student government and the future of their council.
The decision to carry out a survey of University teaching methods and teachers from the student standpoint, may turn out to be the most important step taken on the campus in years. The potential value of results from the action is enormous.
Every co-operating student will answer significant questions about each of his teachers and courses, offering his appraisal of their effectiveness. The results will be studied, tabulated, and made available for student and faculty use. If specific and helpful criticisms are made, teachers will gain a view of themselves obtainable in no other way. Instruction of students is the main business of a state university; serious study of its effectiveness and of means to improve it is a vital step.
Blunders have been made by the council, certainly, but they will be overcome. The A.S.C. Tuesday night decided on immediate, worthwhile objectives of value to both faculty and students.
A representative student committee, which will submit its views on proposed immediate curriculum changes at the Dec. 12 faculty meeting, was formed, at the meeting Tuesday night. A five-member committee at present, it will be enlarged into subcommittees so that student opinion on the question can be taken for final faculty decision.
Student government is being strengthened in other ways, too. Already panel discussion groups of students outside the A.S.C. are meeting to talk over student problems. Such discussions will project representative student opinion on university issues into the proper channels. Constructive proposals of the panels will be submitted to both the administration and the student council. Another step in the right direction, the panels should result in greater understanding of the issues at stake.
Constructive government of student affairs is the aim of the A.S.C. With a slate full of commendable objectives, and with students unified behind it, the council is moving forward.—E.B.

Dear Ritt. old boy---mate, Al Ballinger, wanted to make him more comfortable with a little red-hot pepper in his pajamas. Poor Bob scratched, kicked the blankets, and scratched some more. Without a word, he got up, took a shower, and then put the pajamas back on. Bob scratched, kicked the blankets, and scratched some more. It always did take some people a long time.
By ANNELLA HAMMETT
If you want a date, why don't you come in the front door? Windows on the second floor are so difficult. Also, Bill darling, even the Pi Phi porch swing won't swing on a star if it hasn't got hooks. I was waiting for you; even the window was unlocked. It was sweet of you to bring your little brother Phi Psi's along, but I couldn't understand why they all wore long underwear. However, I'm glad you got stuck in the second floor gutter.
Love.
Love. Nancy Reed.
The orchid of the week goes to Rolli Pettitt, Kappa Sig, who has his means of getting a date, and it works, too. The other night our boy was bragging that he could get a date with any girl on this campus when a fellow PT-6er offered the name of Frances Lawrence, Theta, and to eat his hat if she accepted. At least Rolli's line is unique with this fortune teller's idea of a new man taking over in Frances' life. (Incidently, Rolli's last name is Pettitt, spelled with four t's, because his mother was scared of a T stamp). Within 5 minutes he had agreed to pull alongside about that time Friday night. How was it? Frances? $64 question: How do hats taste nowadays?
Do you know Bob Ellsworth, Beta, in PT-9? One night last week he decided to go to bed early, so roommate, Al Ballinger, wanted to make him more comfortable with a little red-hot pepper in his pajamas. Poor Bob scratched, kicked the blankets, and scratched some more. Without a word, he got up, took a shower, and then put the pajamas back on. Bob scratched, kicked the blankets, and scratched some more. It always did take some people a long time.

Professor Sandelius must wonder about the future of this modern enlightened education in his Principles of Government class. He asked Lawrence Litwin, Battenfield hall, to hand back some quiz papers Thursday. Lawrence called off name after name as he returned the papers, and he finally came to "Key." "Key," he called several times. "Key, is Key here?" (It was the key to the test.)

Marie Wilkins to Give Recital February 5
Marie Wilkins, distinguished Lawrence soprano, has been engaged by D. M. Swarthout, manager of the concert course, to give a recital on Monday evening, February 5th. Mrs. Wilkins is the wife of J. F. Wilkins, professor of voice at the University.
Marie Wilkins won immediate national fame two years ago, when with 48 hours notice she stepped into the title role of "Lakme" at the Metropolitan Opera house as a substitute for the world famous soprano, Lily Pons, who became ill. After the performance her success was heralded all over the country. She was made a member of the Metropolitan Opera company, an honor accorded to few singers. Mrs. Wilkins is engaged this season in an extensive concert tour that has already taken her from coast to coast and into Canada.
Her success in Lawrence last year as the opening attraction in the University concert series was sensational and Dean Swarthout has had repeated requests that she be brought back.
This attraction will be a complimentary addition to the regular University concert series for all season ticket holders and for those students having an activity ticket, as a donation on the part of the management for the necessary cancellation of the last half of the Huberman concert last Monday evening. Mr. Huberman, renowned violinist, was unable to finish his program because of illness.
