VOLUME XXXII
Petition Against Freshman Hazing Filed With Council
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1834
morrow
Action Will Be Taken by Men's Student Governing Body To carry out
The petition to abolish hazing which was signed by approximately 400 men students of the University during registration week, was filed last night with Keen Tilford, secretary of the Men's Student Council, to be presented before that body at its first regular meeting tomorrow evening.
The petition asks that the council "pass such regulations as are necessary to eliminate the practice of freakman hazing." Although no specific suggestions for legislation regarding hazing are included in the petition, Otis Brubaker, c25, head of the committee on human rights, said he and his colleagues have a plan in mind which they believe will remedy the situation.
The constitution of the Men's Student Council provides that "10 per cent of the male electors of the University of Kansas may by petition initiate legislation which shall be submitted to the voter at the next general election, if such an election is to be held within two weeks." The constitution of the Men's Student Council to call a special election to vote on the question."
Since the petition, as presented to Secretary Tilford last night, does not contain any initiate legislation it is probable that it will be referred to a committee for consideration and will be upheld by the council again at a later date.
The constitution also states that "the secretary of the Men's Student Council shall check the sufficiency of all petitions received by him before presenting them to the president, and the sufficiency of all petitions shall be determined by the list of male students enrolled in the University of Kansas, who are required to associate for the current fiscal period."
A check-up at the business office shows that several signers of the petition have not yet paid their fees and hence are not members of the Men's Student Governing Association. Mr. Jenkins lists the names of the last list includes the names of sufficiency signers to total the required 10 per cent of the men students.
