VOLUME XXX
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
New Activity Plan Is Finally Accepted by Men's Council
Ticket Includes Everything Except Jayhawker, Basketball and Kansan
W. S.G.A. VOTES NEXT
The activity plan which was favored by more than a two-thirds majority of the students in the poll conducted dur- ing the day, fell not night by the Men's Student Council.
At the meeting, the Council voted to send a recommendation to Chancellor E. H. Lindley that he extend the deadline on the payment of fees and to help in any way possible the students who are tardy in paying their fees.
A committee of four was appointed to investigate further the possibility of a student owned book store. The committee appointed was: Joe Balch, 135, Fred Black, ed33, Ed Gift, e34, and Walt Elder, e34.
Council Opposes "Booing"
**Council Opposes "bbling"**
The Council authorized Harold Dewton to issue a statement concerning the practice of basketball games. This is in accordance with Dr. Allen's desire to eliminate all booing at athletic contests.
Also a discussion was held dealing with the plan to change the Thanksgiving time to the spring semester to unite with the Zister vocation. As the plan for this season there would be one long vacation in the fall semester and also a long vacation, probably a week, in the spring semester. One reason that this change is important is because of the shifting football game to Thanksgiving day.
Now Up for Approval
The activist plan as adopted by the Council must now be approved by the W.S.G.A., then sent to the Chancellor for his signature and then finally sent to the Board of Regents. The bill is as follows:
Sec. 1. That a general activity fee be paid to students enrolled in the Student of Medicine except those enrolled in six or less hours, and students of the Medical College.
Sec. 2. That all students except as mentioned above participate in the fee with a limited number of exemptions as explained in Sec. 12 of this bill.
Sec. 3. That the general activity book received by each student upon publication shall be titled its holder to the following activities: concert courses, lecture courses, athletic events (except basketball), Union Memorial privileges, and memorial services for former associations. That these activities shall be participated in as heroin education.
Made in Two Payments
Sec. 4. That the fee for every student paid in the course of beginning or end of the semester, that the payments shall be $800 the first semester and $275 the second semester, withdrawing from the University be made on the basis as refunded for the period in which the tuition may be fund be made those withdrawing from the University be made those withdrawing during the period in which regular tuition may be fund be made those withdrawing from the University be made those withdrawing during the period in which refundable benefits shall sacrifice the remainder of their activity books.

A., the Director of the Operating Committee, the chairman of the Enterprise Ticket Committee, the Barrars, and one other member of the committee shall have power to administer the activity fund thus created, subject to Sec. 4, and the readjustments in its distribution which shall be deemed necessary. That this committee shall also supervise the activities of the men in books, the cost of which shall be borne by the various activities in proportion to the amount which they receive from the fund.

About 75 Volunteers Meet to Go Into Troubles Jayhawker Is Facing
FINANCES ARE LOW
A volunteer group of about 75 students, consisting chiefly of house presidents and non-fraternity campus leaders met yesterday afternoon with Chancellor E. H. Lindley, to discuss the ways and means of assisting the Jayhawker, which is at present in a difficult situation financially.
"In my estimation the Jayhawker is the best possible advertisement that we have to interest new students in the University of Kansas," stated Clement E. H. Lindley, opening the meeting of representative students.
It was the feeling of the group that the Jayhawker should be continued on the present high standards of a first rate college annual.
"The book," he continued, "is carried by students to practise every part of Karaus and to other states as well. We know that many letters every year from students that have seen our bookbook and are interested in entering the University
The Chancellor continued his remarks on the Jayhawker and explained that the meeting had been called to decide what the students thought about teacher and whether they would support it sufficiently to publish a book this year.
Professor Flint, head of the department of journalism, and chairman of the Jayhawk advisory board, estimated that it would be necessary to sell 500 more books, raise $2,000 more from organization pictures and sell approximately $2,000 more of advertising itself to make the book pay for itself.
The delegation elected Harold Donte c, 35, chairman of an executive committee for the Jayhawk welfare organization, and said they already in progress, and to consider the means of reducing the present costs and increasing the subscription and advertise cost.
John Hugh, business manager of the Jayhawk, next gave a short talk on the financial status of the book and the several plans that have been suggested to relieve the situation. He stated he would welcome any idea that would help the financial standing of the Jayhawk.
Denton will appoint the other members of the committee, which, after the investigations will report its findings back to the group.

Varsity Management Institutes New Plan
McKnight Announcees Two Hour Dances This Semester
The varancy dance management, according to announcement made this week, is now making plans for the initiation of a new system of entertainment for the second semester dances. Beginning with the next舞 Saturday night, Feb. 25, all regular variaties will be only two hours in length.
The new time schedule will do away with the intermission period, patrons be furnished two full hours of continuous dance music from 10' o'clock until midnight. This new feature will allow students to interact and does not affect the combined varsity and class parties or the special all-University parties.
"This new time schedule is being put into effect," explained Phil McKnight, c33, varsity dance manager, "in order to avoid possible abandon of the rest of the varsity schedule, and yet to insure the continuation of University dances for the student body."
"It has been necessary, after a winter season of financial difficulties, to make some change in the present arrangement. Investigation has shown that a ballet company danced at dances before 9:30, which with an intermission that usually takes a half hour, leaves only two hours of dancing. It is the purpose of the new plan to furnish this same amount of dancing and provide it for the lowered expenses save the student money by way of lowered admissions." "This lowered admission," McKnight added, "makes it possible for the varities to compete with the lowered admission prices of the剧院 and yet guard against the price of music as music provided previously."
Louis Siebers and his orchestra will play for the two-hour varsity to be held a week from this Saturday in St. Louis, but it will be on March 17 and the Senior Cakwale on April 21 will probably be three or four hour parties, as has been the custom in the past few years, although the concert did not made final arrangements as yet.

"He was alive, but I was afraid he wouldn't last. I got my hand on his pulse and found none. He was on the seat with me, and I had my left arm around him. I hold him all the way to the ground and his pulse constantly improved."
