THE KANSAN COMMENTS
ASC Represents KU Student Power
Many army and navy students on the campus do not understand K.U.'s system of student government, and many do not recognize the letters ASC. The following is the first in a series of explanatory editorials, enabling those new to the University to understand the student government organization.
ASC stands for All Student Council and represents a renovation in student government at KU. Less than a year ago this combined organization of men and women was started with a bang-up political campaign plus criticism as well as praise from all sides. Before this time two organizations, the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governing Association, vied with each other in plans for government.
The new council has gathered speed this year as it has tried to build student government on the campus, and has succeeded in creating an awareness of and interest in the organization.
The head of the council is the president, elected by the entire association, and the runner-up is the representative-at-large. Representatives of the schools of the University are elected by proportional representation. The schools are divided into districts with the college as district one; engineering and architecture district two; business, fine arts, education, pharmacy and graduate schools district three; and schools of law and medicine district four. Men vote for men and women for women.
Last year's election varied from the above plan since the war interfered with a representative election of men. The women have the president, of the majority party. The positions of secretary and treasurer are divided between the two men's political parties.
The real test of ASC will come after the war. In a world which will need reorganization and straight thinking to solve the government problems, training in student government is essential for those men and women who will take part in post-war reconstruction.
Scurlock Concludes Eligibility Decision
II. This is not a question of legislative interpretation. The meaning of Bill 11 is clear and unequivocal. However, an appeal may be taken from this decision to the combined court consisting of the student court and the faculty advisory committee
III. Having disposed of the important question of jurisdiction we now turn to the merits of the case. Mr. Engle avers that Miss Schaefer's appointment is constitutional because the word "member" in Article VI, sec. 3, means "regular member." He calls to our attention a valid amendment to the constitution which reads:
Group members on the All-Student Council shall vote on all issues except those on which an objection of 25 per cent of the elected representatives is voice. They shall, however, possess all other rights and responsibilities of discussion and introduction of bills and of fair representation of Council Committees.
His conclusion is that Miss Schaefer is a group member and that group members are not regular members because that may be deprived of their voting privileges. We think that Miss Schaefer's status in the Council is immaterial. There are no qualifying adjectives in this section: "No justice shall be a member of the Council." No unsubstantial dis-

Webster's supplement: Jean Sellers, Alpha Omicron Pi, has just learned that Ensign Kenneth Larkins, a law student on the Hill last year, is sending her a parrot from the South Seas. Floored at first by the prospect of opening an aviary, the A.O. Pi's are now liking the idea because their first bird (being the gift of a navy man) should be so good for their vocabularies. Freshmen alone remain unhappy about the situation. The regular A.O. Pi pledge assignment now includes a chapter on parrot care.
Tripped by the truth at a Dramatic Workshop party Shirley Rauch Gamma Phi, succumbed to the consequences and spent the next five minutes warbling the toorede song with an unmasticated peanut butter sandwich, knocking around somewhere in her mouth.

Polika dots predominated: Even more interesting than the flames which threatened Green hall Tuesday night were the outfits Hill people wore up for the conflagration. What the well-dressed professor wears to fires was demonstrated by Sam Anderson, German instructor, who charged up in a raccoon cap. Harry Jennison, Phil Bet, modeled the latest thing in checked bath robes for young men, and Pat Martin, 1234 Oread, with a turkish towel wrapped around her head illustrated a clever way to disguise the fact you have just washed your hair. Other
spectators appeared in freakish japasms which they attempted to disguise with overcoats. One pant leg or the other, however, was continually unrolling, and people diving to retrieve such errant trousers added much to the general confusion.
Thelma Scott Enters WAVES in March
We hold therefore that Bill 11 is is direct contravention of Article VI, Sec. 3, and is unconstitutional, and that Miss Schaefer is improperly a member of the Council.
We do not question Miss Schaefer's right to sit on the court but we do hold that she must sever all connections with the Council. If at a subsequent date it appears that these connections have continued, we may well be constrained to deny her the privilege of casting her vote in any controversy before the court, but this is the subject matter of another suit.
Miss Thelma Claudine Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Scott, a senior at the University, has been accepted as an officer candidate by the WAVES.
养乖临
To be continued: The Delta Gamma-Phi Psi feud took on new life when the girls made off with all the Phi Psi trophies while the fellows were out playing basketball. Later that night the Psi's retaliated by serenading the D.G.s. Not satisfied, however, by mental cruelty, the boys broke out windows and crawled in the house, making off, after quite a stag party in the D.G. living room, with lamps, tables, and several chairs. The pay off was supposed to come a few nights later when the boys had an hour dance scheduled at West Hills. Fearing rough treatment, the boys wore blue jeans. The Delta Gammas, however, came down in their Sunday best, and, except for signs saying "This chair missing in action," placed at bare spots around the room, the white flag seemed to be waving. The Psi's were even feeling a little foolish about their precautionary attire — until time came to go home. The demure D.G.'s had painted Sigma Chi, Beta, Delti, PhiDelta, etc. in large letters, over all the Phi Psi cars in their lot.

John Anderson, and Arnold Weidman.
Miss Schaefer not voting, Miss Persis Sook absent, not voting.
tinction between appointment to the court from the Council and to the Council from the court is allowable. The very reason of this section is indubitable to prevent-partisanship and politics from entering the court. Mr. Engle failed to prove, or even to substantiate the allegation, that non-regular members of the Council would be less likely than regular members to be prejudiced in matters pending before this court because of affiliation with the Council. We believe that to sanction the appointment of justices to the Council, or vice versa, would be highly indesirable and would weaken the faith of the student body in a fair and just court.
Earle Crawford, chairman of the Phi Si committee on messing up women's houses is now working on a new angle.
After completing her studies at the University March 1, Miss Scott will be ordered to the Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School, (WR), Northampton, Mass. for two months of indoctrination.
ROTC Men Will Get Credit for Classes
Horses which looked more like asses and zebras than the present-day horse were the most common kinds of fossils. The early elephants had much shorter trunks and tusks than those today.
The first year advanced ROTC infantry men who left Lawrence Sunday for Officer's Candidate Schools will receive at least one-half credit for the 16-weeks semester which they have been attending, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, announced this morning. The exact amount of credit each man receives will depend upon the type of courses he was taking and the number of hours, he said.
Dyche museum had only 15 species of bird fauna in 1936, but since then over 1000 bird fossils have been collected. Birds in Kansas were not as rare as has been thought.
A new group of men will not be moved into barracks A, formerly the Sigma Chi house, which the ROTC men occupied during their brief stay at the University, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris said today. Medical ASTP men who have been quartered in the barracks will remain there.
The coast artillery ROTC men will leave Lawrence for OCS as previously announced sometime this week, said Lt. Col. McMorris.

Dr. Hibbard said that if you make no special effort in collecting fossils, you will find no form larger than the beaver.
