The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
Regarding the proposed amendment . .
In the past two years, the presidents have gone into office with a Council membership minority. This has been due in each case to the two-year men carry-over, and, of course, has meant that the efficiency of the council suffered. With the elimination of these two-year men it is highly improbable that a president will ever find again that his leadership is only marginal. Any potential hightail would be his to give, for parties' emotion has shown that with only the annually elected members, the presidency would have been held by the majority party on the Council.
This is the second in a series of four essays expressing the views of outstanding men to the new constitution. Today's essay is written by Don Dwonde, city PS, and James R. Miller, city PA.
In the years of student government under its present setup, much time of the Council has been spent in filling vacancies. Hagging over the men to be appointed and jockeying for positions have been instrumental in reducing the efficiency of the Council. Under the proposed reorganization plan, time necessary for the passage of constructive legislation will not be used in this way, as replacements will be made by the party of the man originally elected. With this guarantee that the Council will retain which it was originally accorded, friction among members of the Council will quite naturally be reduced, and a more harmonious group will be the result.
Were there none of the other benefits to be derived from this plan, in these two changes alone there is a decided improvement over the old system. Every man who is interested in a more efficient student government has an important benefit of the protocol. With its passions, it can undoubtedly accomplish much more than is ever feasible under the existing system.

DON VOORHEES
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
The dignified president of the Senior Law class, Norman Jeester, has acquired a nickname—"Dimples." It is evident that he dislikes the name because he is reported trying to bribe people not to call him by it. "Dimples" seems to be a serious-minded sort of person—for example, he called Dorothy Fritz the other night and entertained her by reading Browning's poetry and supplying his own comments.
The Phi Delt's staged a pillow fight the other night which was greatly enjoyed by the girls next door. Pillows could be heard thudding so the Sigma Kappa did some further listening in, enjoying the rowdiness and laughter. The boys had always been the brothers went outside and turned the bose on, directing it at the sleeping porch.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1937
For some time people have been reading books known as "best sellers," but these are nothing compared to a diary, belonging to one of the recently engaged coeds, in which some personal history is revealed. The diary lacks nothing—it tells about every college date up to the time of the engagement—it gives a personality sketch of the date along with different techniques. After marriage, the girl plans to make the diary available for the public and have it become known as a "best renter," thus expecting to receive some income from it.

This story is obviously late since it deals with an incident which occurred when one of our recent vacations began. Before starting home, Myridean Scott was advised by a friend to have her car thoroughly checked—gas, grease, water, new tires, and other items. All assistance Myridean told the attendant what she wanted. The attendant was somewhat baffled when the new air was mentioned, but Myridean had been advised so the old air was let out of the tires and replaced with the new air.
