In lieu of the necessary energy to write an original column today we offer the following clipping from the May 26, 1919 Kansan.
In that year there was a rule prohibiting attendance of students at "All dances thrown open indiscriminantly to the public at a fixed price."
The story is an account of an actual raid conducted by the W.S. G.A. council and the adviser of women on a dance at Eagle's hall.

RAIIDS MID-WEEK DANCES
Disciplinary Committee Punishes Three Women But the Men All Get Away
Blight Hits Wall Flowers
"Tango hounds and lounge lizards first," has reversed the proud Anglo-Saxon, "women and children first," when students at forbidden dances seek to escape a raid by University authorities. Three University maidens told the Disciplinary Committee Friday why they failed to escape the raid on the dance at Eagle's hall last Wednesday night, when four members of the Women's Student Government Association and Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, slipped past the dance lookouts and entered the hall.
In the general rush for the fire escapes the men students pushed aside or deserted the women, crowded onto the fire escapes and got away. About nine students escaped. Not a man was caught. The tango hounds didn't stick, but detened the women.
The Disciplinary Committee decided that the three women should attend no more dances, except in their homes, until Nov. 15. One of the three is a College senior. The other two are College and Fine Arts juniors. The Disciplinary Committee also issued a warning that attendance as a spectator at any midweek dance cane under the ban just as strongly as dancing at a forbidden hop, and would be punished in a like degree.
"Why did you do that?" asked a
"I started to run," said one of the women students, "before I saw the raiding party."
AT "MIDNIGHT"
"BEWARE SPOOKS"
Dean John Day of Topeka To Speak Here Palm Sunday
Dean John Warren Day, of the Grace Cathedral Episcopal church of Palm Sunday service to be held at Topeka, will be the speaker at the 7:30 oclock next Sunday evening at the Presbyterian church. Dean Day will use as his topic, "Applying the Easter Message to Practical Living."
The Christian Student Confederation, made up of the young people's church groups in Lawrence, holds this service annually, and this year it will be an evening service rather than a morning service as formerly.
The University A Capella choir, directed by D. M. Swarthout, will present two numbers: "Breathe On Me, Oh Breath of God," (Thompson) and "Oh Blest Are They," (Tschaikovsky). The public is cordially invited.
Weaving Display in Frank Strong
member of the Disciplinary Committee.
An exhibit of weaving done by th craft classes of the department of design went on display this afternoon in room 320 of west Frank Strong hall. The exhibit will remain open to the public for two weeks.
"Because the man I was with started running," she replied.
Apparently her escort outran her Four members of the W.S.G.A. council are letter women and were represented among the raiders who with Miss Corbin slipped up to Eagle's hall last Wednesday night in a taxi. The small boys who were standing before the hall as lookouts had not been told to expect raiders in a taxi, and the raiders were at the entrance of the hall before their identity was discovered.
Two small boys tried to dart past and up the stairs to give the alarm. A letter woman tripped him neatly and the raiding party came into the hall without the dancers having been advised of their presence. But as quick as they were, they were not quick enough for the tango hounds who crowded the women aside and got away down the fire escape.
