KANSAN COMMENTS Criticism of ASC Is Unjust Considering Its Accomplishments
With the advent of freshman elections, attention is again being turned to campus politics. The All Student Council, as the self-governing unit over the student body, naturally comes in for a considerable amount of criticism as is evidenced by the "Letter to the Editor" published in today's issue. The author doubtlessly scanned through news of the ASC's meetings and jumped at conclusions without discovering the real reason for some of their actions.
According to the inference in this letter, which seems to express the opinion of many students, the Council each year merely re-hashes the bills passed and business transacted in previous years, and rarely does anything new or constructive. This conclusion was probably drawn when the ASC last year passed a set of bills, most of which were already in effect. This action was necessary, however, because the All Student Council was a new organization, replacing and combining the former Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association. The ASC, therefore, had no legal right or power to enforce laws until they were drawn up and passed by the new regime.
In addition to making legal the enforcement of the smoking and parking regulations, the ASC also undertook and carried out several major projects during the 1943-44 term. Among these were the investigation of the distribution of student activity ticket funds, which, it was discovered, are controlled by the Board of Regents; the holding of a
Letter to the Editor
The Council also investigated the question of whether Negroes are eligible to participate in University organizations and found that they are; they gained a representation on the Senate Calendar committee; they investigated the increase in student health fees and their distribution; they ruled that light refreshments could be served at parties in the Memorial Union building, but dinners could not be because of the labor shortage and other difficulties. Although unsuccessful because of certain legal restrictions, the ASC also attempted to establish a check-cashing agency on the Hill for the convenience of students and faculty members.

traditions convocation; and the decision to let members of the armed forces stationed here, participate in student elections.
To Editor Daily Kansan:
Bill No. 1 will be in substance,
"No Smoking in Buildings." We can expect lengthy discussion on this bill, but it will pass because some "grinder" will not want the place to burn down.
Several new members have recently been installed on the All Student Council. Considering the record of the past councils of Free Thinking and intelligent legislators, the student body can look forward to some dramatic measures on stupendous problems affecting each and every student on the campus.
Bill No. 2 — "No Parking Except With Permit." This bill will undoubtedly pass unanimously. There might be a section in it that will prohibit excessive speeding on the campus but it will be disguised to the extent that no one will know it's there.
Bill No. 3. I predict that this will be the bill that will make this council go down in history as one of the all-time greats. The women members of the student body will be forced to remain in the house every week night from 10:30 p.m. until dawn, except for the three late nights a week. Men will be allowed to have complete freedom any hour of any day, military men excepted. It may take some heavy pork barreling and other legislative techniques to enforce this, but It Will Be Done in spite of all odds.
These are but a few of the accomplishments of the All Student Council in one year. It is obvious from looking over them, however, that the ASC is attempting to function for the benefit of the student body as a whole. The Council meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend, and the members are receptive to constructive criticism or suggestions at any time. You students, yourselves, elected these representatives—if you do not approve of their procedure, vote for somebody else at the next election. If you do have faith in their capability, however, get behind them and give them your whole-hearted support and cut the gripping.
Bill No. 4 will really be an amendment to the freshman Magna Charta. It will be in the form of direct help to these new students. The bill will read something like this: "Whereas the freshmen on this campus are to be considered as adults and will be treated theresa, we consider it a pleasure and an honor to present them each morning with a lily, the
Demand for Nurses Results in Program
(Note: to enable women students of the University to understand better the nature of vocational majors offered them, the Kansas introduces a series of short articles on various fields. Today: the five-year nursing program.)
The demand for more and better-trained nurses has effected a special five-year curriculum at the University, which combines the broad training of the liberal arts college and preparation for the nursing profession.
For the first five semesters of the five-year course of study, the student takes courses in the College, and fundamental courses in nursing at the University. Two and one-half years are then spent at the University of Kansas hospitals at Kansas City. She is enrolled in professional nursing courses and receives practical experience in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics.
On conclusion of the ten-semester program, the student receives the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is granted a certificate of nursing by the University of Kansas. She is eligible to take the state board examination for registration in Kansas.
token of innocence and a badge of protection from those wolves in red, those heroes in season, those bums out of season, no other than the K Men."

This will be about all the legislation that will come out of the session, but at election time both parties can step up proudly and say "Just Examine the Record." - VL.
Attend Homecoming Rally.
Rock Chalk Talk
Talk about grand entrances, Marjy Jain Wagner took the prize at the Delta Gamma open house last week when she fell down a full flight of stairs into the DG front hall. M. J. was the first girl to come down and was greeted on her alignment by a chorus of "Are you hurt?" from some 30 boys who awaited their dates. Mary Jane could only reply from behind a mask of red, "No, only my pride." —Are We Gonng' Beat Nebraska?—
We wonder what's the overpowering influence that Bob Henry, Phi Delt pledge from Wichita, has on the president of the ASC, Persis Snook. Perse has started on a reform by quitting smoking, and one seldom passes by room 532 of Snow hall, without spying Henry sitting in Assistant Instructor Persis' office with his feet propped up on her desk. Say, Bob, who's office is that, anyway?

Ann Zimmerman, Gamma Phi, received an Air Mail-Special Delivery that was a real Air Mail-Special Delivery yesterday. On answering the door at the house, Ann was faced with a local colored man, envelope in hand, who presented her a letter saying, "This heath is fo' yo' all." The man went on to explain that he had picked up the letter from the street where it had fallen from a plane passing overhead. And sure enough, on opening the envelope, Ann found that it was from her captain in the Army Air Corps. Romantical, haint't it?
Sorry - - Can't Hear You!
Just to prove that school spirit is still not what it should be, we quote the comment of a member of the KU first string. Concerning Tuesday's rally, the Jayhawker remarked, "If it hadn't been for those two dogs, there sure wouldn't have been any noise at that rally!" And, kids, that's from one of the team. What are you gonna do about it, huh?
Well, All Right!

Any Better?" In case you aren't familiar with the lyrics, they go: "Would you like me any better . . . if I were a perfect lady like a Beta Theta Pi." It was only on completion of the song that the girls realized that Roberta Frowe's guest, Charles Huhn of Wilmington, Del, is at Beta. Chapter members tittered while Charlie blushed, and Ro remarked, "Well, that's college!"
