SATURDAY MORNING. SEPT. 14, 1935 BACKFIRED General dissatisfaction prevails on the campus regarding new sorority rushing rules. Originally planned to aid the weaker sororities by making more potential members available to them, the rule seems to be acting in a manner exactly opposite to that planned. Instead of aiding the weaker sororites, it has actually widened the gap between so called "clite" houses, and those houses that are bordering on the verge of extinction. The rules are based on the assumption that each year a certain number of women will wish to join sororities. By limiting the number of rushes that any particular house might pledge, originators of the plan believed that available women would be more evenly divided among the houses. But such is not the case. Many women after failing to pledge the sacrifice of their choice, have joined So some changes must be made. Either the rules should be revised to meet the situation, or disregarded entirely, letting those houses survive that can. For it has been said that "a woman thinks with her heart," and once her heart is set on something, rules have little chance of changing her. The average man gets a break this fall. The new felt hat styles include one erumped model that somewhat resembles a last year's hat which has been banged around in the closet all summer. —Vic Boellner in the Ell Dorado Times. H. YES! College opening-Ah yes,the thrill of it. But registration begins Saturday followed by enrollment next week, and classes get under way Friday morning. Ah, yes, grim reality. House parties and dances; the rhythm of saxes, and thrilling moments with the only girl or a handmade "Tarzan." The handselection of old friends, the meeting of new. Walks through shady, moonlit parks, softly spoken words, then hurried steps as the "closing hour" approaches. The thumb of leather wrapped feet against leather wrapped air, and the shouts of jesified warriors preparing for a glorious campaign. Ah, yes—The opening of college. When a man gets mad, he's mad about the one thing that upset him; but when a woman gets mad, she's mad about everything that has happened to annoy her in the last five years.—Concordia Blade Empire. "THOUGHTS WHILE STROLLING" Registration is a trying procedure. It might be classed as one of the evils of college life, yet it is necessary. It cannot be avoided, so the best plan is to have done with it as soon and as gracefully as possible. There will be times during registration when you will be tested to the limit of your endurance. You will become provoked, disgusted, then downright angry. You will gnash your teeth and tear your hair, and curse the school system that allows such an institution to exist. Then you will throw yourself back into the fray and wrestle gallantly with a sheet of paper seven yards long on which is written the world's finest collection of senseless questions. However, you might be spared much of the agony of registration if you will read the instructions given to you. (Few students do this). Then remember what you are told by people in charge of registration. Of course these people seldom know as much as you, but listen to them anyway. And remember at all times as you pass through this trying ordal that no one likes it any better than you. Even the heartless administration that heaps this abuse upon you will have its turn to swear when an attempt is made to read some of the things you have written. Not only was the assassination of Huey Long regrettable in other respects, but it blows six bodyguards into the ranks of the unemployed.—Arkansas City Daily Traveler.

A subscription to the University Daily Kansas is a good investment. Why? Because the Kansan is the official student publication of the University. It is published for students, so covers better than any other paper the news of the campus. But its scope is not limited to local items. Through the United Press News Service it is able to bring to students news of the nation and the world. Through the King Feature Picture Service it will have access to pictures of interest from the entire world. A daily feature of the Kansan will be its "Campus Opinion" column. Any student or faculty member may speak his or her mind through this question whether or not the ideas presented agree with the policy of the paper. Any subject may be discussed in "Campus Opinion." The "Chancellor's Bulletin" is perhaps the most important daily column published. All official announcements of club activities, special class schedules, conventions and party notice appear in this volume. School gossip and choice bits of campus scandal are well taken care of in "On the Shin." Society notes, sports articles, feature stories, exchange letters, online forums. The college menaers are all daily features of the Konan. You owe it to yourself to have access to the University Daily Kansan. One definitely becomes an "old grad" when he has to have a gusset put in the pants to the tuxedo outfit of his undergraduate days.—Hutchinson News. "Yelling?" he was told, "why are yellimg because every time Kansas plays a home game we either have to fight the sun all afternoon, or sit in a corner of the stadium and watch proceedings through a telescope." An elderly gentleman, not versed in the ways of college, and hearing the famous "Rock-Chall" for the first time asked what it was the students were yelling about. Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the author. The opinions expressed are those of the authors and are subject to change. Length are subject to coating by the editor. Contributions are welcome. Campus Opinion That is very fine. We are glad that such a yell as our school's is famous and that we make it so. But at the same time, consider us, the underprivileged college students. Certainly, the stadium must be paid for and we must treat the pay customers gently. But how about giving the students an even break with the holders of the slightly larger seats? You may ask that they be divided among students and the other ticket holders. Editor, University Daily Kansan: I see that the athletic department is advertising on the always with billboards urging people to come to the gym. Is it not the order of the athletic department that we sit looking into the sun at the football games this fall or as an alternative use the end zones beyond the 20-yard line on the west side? If we have to perform for all the old grads, football fiends, etc., how about a place to yell where the sun isn't in our eyes and we can see what the fellows are doing on the field? And we also pay for the game and entertain at the same time. If the athletic department does not accept our proposition it is my suggestion that a union of "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk yellers" be organized and yell in union against this injustice which discriminates against us, the students. Yours. A Disgruntled Student. Several generations of K.U. students have looked upon the present Union building on the only one at the University, but over the other generations of students looked forward to such an organization and such a building. They thought, too, that when such an organization and such a campus that it would be the first. Ey Arch Oliver, sp Student Union Organization Began in 1914 With House on Tennessee Street They were mistaken at that, however, for K.U. had a union twenty years ago and the building is still standing at 1250 Tennessee street, but it has been abandoned and the mission in three days is long since dead. Our present Union is somewhat of an outcause of that first one, but a long time separated them and it took a couple of years to see the resulting demand for a memorial to furnish the present building. A student union had been spoken of ever since April 20, 1909. One of the objects of Merriam Student Council—the new organization held on that date—was "to further the plan of ultimate formation of a Student's Union." Since that time, until the first Union was formed in 1913, students were such an organization. When Arch McKimson was president of the student council, in 1912, plans were made to pledge money to start a building worth $20,000, and the plan fell through. A Union that was organized and operated for about a year was started in the spring of 1913. Without much prep, it became a University Daily. Dan Kanyon carried a story on May 13, 1913, to the effect that Lee Bryant offered a floor in a proposed building, for use as a gathering place. In November 1909, 90 feet, were thought to be simple. The floor space could be partitioned as desired. Rental was estimated at about $809 a year with heat and water in. It would be a Union for men students only. The exert location of the building proposed by Lee was not given in any of the issues of the Kansan mentioning his offer but it is believed by many drug stores now occupied by Coc's Drug Store on West Fourteenth Street. If the men so desired, they could move in in the fall of 1913, Bryant was quoted as saying. All that he wanted was an organization with some stability. Pledges asking for payments of $2 were signed. Leeila A. Dodd, president of the Men's Student Council, was also quoted as saying that a Student Union was one of the questions confronting the council the next year. The Union was asked if men should either in the spring or the coming fall. He thought that such a place would give the men students an opportunity to meet and discuss K.U. problems and be in closer touch with one another. Bryant failed to build in the summer, as was planned. A house in the The rent was $50 a month and an other $30 was thought necessary it equip it with furniture. The house had four rooms and a hall downla- nage five rooms on the second floor, 三个 rooms on the third floor. 1200 block on Loutiana street was then considered, and later honours at 1200 Louisiana and 1300 Tennessee were thought of as suitable locations. Late in September more patrons were sent around asking men to pick baskets from the street, where the ore later chosen, could be occured and furniture bought. In spite of about 205 signatures to the petition, nothing was done until on Friday, when a statement asked if the Student Union, supposed to have died a peaceful death, the university would hold a memorial. On January 21, the Men's Student Council said that a start would be made in a modest way. A committee of Kandell Kennedy, chairwoman Holly Holloway, Dutch Homan and John Madden, was appointed to carry on the work. Seniors were not asked to plough money to buy equipment which they did not use in the unitary school only for money couch to pay the rent. In February the other choices (the above committee was composed of junions) fell in with the program and carried on the work for the Union. The committee from the junior class worked with the Alumna Association and on February 24, in the office of the University Lawrence, was presented with a check for $500, signed by L. N. Flint, master professor of journalism and head of that department, and General Metcalf. With this fund, and some money hand from plaques, the Union was purchased as well as were purchased as well as comfortable chairs and dvoorts, and on March 4, the Union was opened with a meeting attended by 200 men which the Korean described as the "biggest little rally of the year". Music was furnished by Spod Connolly, Baldert Barries, and Paul Royer. Over 400 men were invited to Kennedy at the burn warming. Later agitation was started for a permanent holding on the campus, a building to eat about $150,000, but nothing was done until after the war. In 1943, Mr. Men's Student Council appointed Larry Kinnear, Harold Ragle and Harold Evans as a committee to have ground plans drawn up, inspection of Universi at other universities roads, and administration structure on the campus. In the fall of 1943, at enrollment, the men students were asked to pledge toward the support of the Union. One of them did so, but few paid their money. Another was used for operating expenses. Early in December, the financial attraction became serious. The Union was in debt to the amount of $894. It was Early in December, the financial situation became serious. The Union was in debt to the amount of $64.1 million, and the holiday bonuses hold unless annual more cash EVERY BILLBOARD SAYS YOU NEED A FALL SUIT. And every board bill says you can have one. Our theme song this Fall is the same as the Auto folks'. . . . . more of everything for those precious dollars of yours. More style. . . . more tailoring. . . more fabric wear for the same price that you've often planked down for a "so so" suit which gave you protection instead of perfection and filled the bill but excluded the thrill. Now it's different. . . and now it's ready, . . . and it seems to us that it isn't too early to look at something you've been for for years. FALL SUITS ARE HERE Also all the things to go with them. In. enough was secured for it to open for two weeks after the opening of school, but in January 15, 1515, the Union was given two weeks to pay the dreaded reef. A big rally was planned at the parade ground, on the banks of running $90 by each or pledge; but only 43 students, out of 1617 men enrolled at the University, and only three faculty members, out of 220, attended the convention. was evident that the men were not satisfied with the Union as it was said that it would be closed the next day. Shown and dances would be planned, he said, to help pay off the indebtedness. Victor Bottomley, president of the Men's Student Council, said that it So paused the first Student Union. But the "old grads" now have a building which they can enjoy, even if they were deprived of much opportunities in school. In many cases, these who did not use that first Deuce enjoyed it.
