It All Begins Friday . . . Some Stunts . . . "Diamond Dick" Weaver . . . Dutch Date Doings . . . An Ode to Spring.
Well, of all things, and would you ever? Here its coming up—the W.S. away carnival and arrival, the W.S.C.A. away all the same evening, and to make a sad story even sader, old S.N.O.P. is, without a date! Of all times! We can't get
Hear the Alpha Delta Pi's are going to enter the carnival with a "jip" game in the guise of a penny-saucer. You furnish the penny, and they'll furnish the saucer. (Might have�knew) The A. O. P.'s are joining ranks with the Theta's put on a freak show. (An All-Star cast is assured!) Chi O is putting on a wax museum, ya dunny! There are to be several shooting gals; there are to be a ball throwing team, a ball throwing room, but, oh well, there's no use letting all the splendid targets go to waste! The Pi Phi will have a "Gake-off" on Hill personalities. Sounds dirty to us, but it should be interesting. Alpha Gau's are going to meet you. And with the duft date business gain' there ought to be a big crowd!
JAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1906
And speaking of rings, have you heard the one on "Diamond Dick" who told me it was a real lodge? No Well, seems Dick was trying to get his diamond ring off via the "beech method" the other right when he got his ring. If you surprise the, surprise the ring came off quite easily.
—in fact, so easily that it went right on down M. Weaver's yep. Yep, he was a big fan of the book, but don't you think? Well, poor Dick went home (whistling the Beta song), and with the aid of two roommates, devised a plan to get said Fossy) plan to get said article back!
To make a long story short, Dick is now wearing his diamond (on his finger), and seems to be in the "pink of condition," but Kinda kids not hav't witnessed it yet. And so did even though it was a bit unhumbly. Glad you won! Dick!
This dutch date business ought to provide many an interesting debate, Heard Peggs, Gorhiemy, Gamma Pi Miss, sirring her views on the matter while she stopped. She stopped, one could easily see Peggy didn't care for the plan. Said there wasn't a boy on the Hill she'd help finance on a date! Well Peggy, there's a girl wouldn't have a date with even if he was paid for same.
Old man anonymies sent us a little ode on spring the other day, and since the weather isitting and everything, let me tell you to you (whether ya want it or not)?
Spring bask cane
Winter has went.
It isn't unaccident!
I'll leave it asleep.
As you has sworn
Spring has came
Eat my treat!
Der Ode (or vice versa)
Irish Fight But Not for Selves
It seems that anyone who swears against the green, makes the Irishman see red. In a recent radio broadcast it was stated that the Irish have died on the battlefield of every country, albums they own and books they own or their own. Even South American countries have Irish heroes.
Malone, O'Fellway, Murphy, and O'Twole, sounds like the list of people in that last street fight you heard about them. And then, the student directory at the University. There are many fore and yesterday was their day. Green ties took their place through the world with the green shan-troon.
Poor it. Patrick wasn't even an Irishman and it's doubtful if the good saint ever saw a snake. But, they'd be dead end. If they were end to end, they'd reach—and the end of that reach would probably contain a fat, so no one begriggers allowing them to have their way on themselves, at least not we foreigners.
Student Council Publishes Record Of All Activities
Report Forms Basis for Comparison of Value of Present and Past M.S.C.
The Men's Student Council is publishing for the first time in the Daily Kanasan a record of all the activities it has been involved in body. By so doing the Council hopes that it will set the yearly precedent of making known its activities to the larger community.
The report, which is a study in comparative government for 36-38, shows where student government has gained and where it has lost. Formerly such record was confirmed to the mere print-out of a financial statement for the single year.
The council feels that from this report students will have the opportunity to see what governmentvernment really does, if its services are worth while, and satisfies itself. It is desired that students accept the report in a critical spirit.
A similar report of activities of the W.S.G.A. is being prepared and will be ready for publication the latter part of the week.

Under the new system, College courses are divided into four groups including the慕课群, and these groups include two more fields.

No Change in Hours
Under the new group candidates,didates for the degree must offer at least 12 hours of study in the same groups. Fifteen hours must have been taken in each by the end of the sophomore year, and of the 15, five must have been in each of two fields in each group.
Group IV
A special rule recites several courses in home economics, placed in the miscellaneous group, which may be used in the first three requirements of the first three groups.
The student is allowed a maximum of 40 hours in his major department, of which the department may prescribe not more than 25 hours. The minimum hours to satisfy a major remains at 20 as at present. The maximum of 25 hours is allowed in any department other than the student's major department; the maximum in a field of study is 10 hours, and the maximum in any group is 80 hours.

The faculty directed the program to make a problem and make recommendations.
The faculty concurred also in the committee's recommendation that departments which have not already done so, should consider the provision of one foreign language course at a level to meet the needs and interests of upperclass students who may wish to learn something of that field, and that foreign language departments provide an introductory course for upperclass students who discover their problems. At least three courses must have at least 10 hours of another foreign language in the College.
The faculty also approved the recommendation of the administrative committee and the Board of Trustees. School of Fine Arts for majors in design and in drawing and painting. Objection was that such majors would not have a professional background to merit the A. B. degree.
