Student Activity Report Is Issued by Harold Dentor
Results in Two-Thirds Majority for Only One Of Four Plans Submitted
The activity plan which includes athletic tickets, student enterprise ticket, union fee, and council fees, at a cost of $20 per student. The semesters, is favored by 290 odd more than a two-thirds majority, according to the poll conducted Feb. 7 during enrollment. This is the report that has prompted the student of the Men's Student Council.
TOTAL OF 2,000 VOTE
The results of both polls will be presented to the Men's Student Council tomorrow night at the regular meeting. The students will up for the second and final reading.
The results of the second preferential vote lead to the conclusion that 89 percent of voters were entirely, although it was given a majority of 106 in the first vote of Jan. 12.
The plan which includes the Jay hawker to Group 1 at an extra cost is approved by a majority of the students, but by 243 less than a two-thirds majority. The majority approving it, both by 243 and 81, of the "probably opposed" listed as "possibly acquiescent" if the rest of the students approve, and 42 more listed as "probably acquiescent" and counted neither for nor against the plan. The positive vote on the Jay hawker was 517 in favor and 571 opposed.
Graduate School Against All
The plan which includes the Kansan to Group 1, is not approved by the students when both positive ballots and negative ballots are 26 more votes cast against than in favor, with 94 listed as "probably acquiescent", and not counted either for or against. The ballots cast positively for Group 1, and the 58 favor the Kansan and 59 oppose it.
The compiled statement of the results of the activity fee poll for the Graduate School indicate that all plans are opposed except the plan which includes the Student Enterprise ticket, Union fee, Council fees, and athletics, which is favored by more than two-thirds majority. The Graduate School is in a peculiar situation not comparable to the other schools, since it is made up of students not particularly interested in activities. Group 1, however, includes those activities which are of interest to graduates as well as underchampion.
There were only 2,000 votes cast, exclusive of the Graduate School, although a ballot was given to each student passing through the enrollment line. Some refused to vote because of indifference. A great many passed by the balloting table without taking the trouble to cast their vote. Of the 2,000 voters, 835 had participated and thrown out entirely because they were either left blank or were voted in such a way as to give no information one way or the other.
A compiled statement with its supplementary explanations is filed in the office of the Kansan and is available to persons seeing the complete results of the poll.

Sheppard Starts Filibuster to Stop Prohibition Action
Texas Senator Began on Covenant Where He Left Off Ten Years Ago
CONSIDERED A JOKE
Washington, Feb. 14- (UP)-An unidirectionally digged sound audibly emerged in the senate today to block consideration of the repeal of the 18th Amendment when Senator Sheppard, Democrat of Texas, announced he was resuming a speech on the League of Nations interrupted 10-year ago.
The calm, unhurried voice of Sheepard interrupted a 30-minute Senate wrangle in which Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, warned congress to ignore prohibition in order to prevent "revolution" in the United States.
"Ten years and six months ago, addressed the senate on the subject of the League of Nations," she said Shepard, author of the 18th amendment. "Since that time, the League of Nations has subject and I have intended to return to it. But today is the first time I have had the opportunity. I take up the League of Nations now where I left off on July 24, 1922. I propose to reschedule every item 10 or 12 years hereafter."
Sheppard smiled, the senate smile even the wets smiled. The joke undoubtedly was on the wets.

Dean of Education Stresses Principal Aim of Study
"Education is a failure if it fails to train the student to acquire the skill needed for success in life, or to make a success of his vocation." Dr R. A. Schweiger, dean of the School of Education, declared yesterday in an ad that invited the Bowl club at 18th University.
Dr. Schwiegler's view on the mounting of an education differs from the prevailing idea that holds that an education is the ability to store up knowledge. He believes that an education has for its purpose the enabling of a student "to adjust himself to conditions, to keep his balance amid conflicting influences, and to give him sufficient knowledge in order to use knowledge in order that he may live in peace with society, with his God, and with himself."
"The great teachers of the future," he exclaimed, "will be those who do to stop with filling the students' minds with the contents of books, but who will make them realize the accomplishment that they may live a more satisfactory and helpful life."
Dr. Schweider said that many students have overlooked the one great aim of all of one's study, the increased efficiency of thought and action which is gained through putting one's knowledge and skill to use.
