An Open Letter to Students
This is your Campus, your school. The affairs of this Campus are your affairs. The business of choosing a Varsity Dance Manager is your business.
Thus, the blame for the political irresponsibility exhibited during the selection of a Dance Manager falls on your heads. You must answer when the actions of your representatives inexcusably detour the normal, established procedure of student government.
From a situation that could not be misconstrued even by the average student, the dance manager selection has been blotched into a mess that would stump any one but a shyster lawyer. Here are the dates in the evolution of this comedy of errors:
May 2, 1939: the bill providing for a new method of the selecion of the dance manager was passed by the Council. All that remained to put the bill into effect was to "be attested by the secretary, signed by the President, and submitted to the chairman of the Advisory Committee for his approval on behalf of the University, after which they shall be published once in the University Daily Kansan, ten days after which they shall be in full force and effect . . .." "Article 7 of the Constitution of the Associated Men of the University of Kansas.
The new bill provided that the selection must be made by May 20.
May 15, 1939—New Council installation. Chancellor asks the new Council for a strong, courageous administration of student government. Everybody happy.
May 12, 1939—Announcement that applicants for the position of dance Manager should file their names in Henry Werner's office. The dance manager bill has not been delivered to the Chancellor's office for his signature yet.
May 20, 1939—Committee meets and selects a dance manager for next year.
May 23, 1939-Bill impowering the committee to select the dance manager reaches the Chancellor's office and is ready for his signature.
May 25, 1939—Committee to select dance manager meets, but can't decide whether or not it should do anything or not.
May 27, 1939—Chancellor signs bill, but too late to be published in the Daily Kansan for Sunday.
May 30, 1939—Committee meets again and selects a dance manager for next year.
Today—Daily Kansan publishes bill which will go into effect ten days from date. It is apparent that the committee in selecting a dance manager has acted under a bill that is not yet in effect. It is also apparent, from a reading of the bill, that the committee cannot act after May 20.
But the committee must act, if the University is to have a dance manager. And so perhaps its members are excused from forgetting about the red tape involved. All the same, you ought to keep closer tab on student government on the Hill—because, after all is said and done, you are responsible for it.

Housing Inspection Fee To Be Dropped
WEATHER
Fair and warmer.
The Housing Inspection fee will be abolished next year although every rooming house accommodating University students will be inspected thoroughly, Wilbur Leonard, c39, head of the Housing Inspection委员会, said today.
Inspection next year will be more strict than it has been in the past in an effort to raise rooming house conditions on the Hill, Leonard said.
