Ellsworth-Werner Continue Efforts to Help Students
About 440 Letters Mailed to People of Lawrence Explaining Needy Gr
Cases
NAMES ARE OMITTED
Continuing their efforts to obtain positions for deserving students, Henry Werner, men's adviser, and Fred Ellis, recent graduate, recently sent personal letters to several of the faculty and people in Lawrence. These letters are stories of students who do not have sufficient experience to help them to continue with their studies.
According to Dean Werner, 440 letters were sent out, each one containing a resume of the circumstances which will force some 40 students to leave college. Twenty-four hours after the circulators were put in the mail, he said, the student would be asked to interview one of the students whose case was stated in the letter.
No Names Attached
There were no names attached to the paragraphs, Dean Werner stated, but there are 45. Students needing assistance are written in a brief and concise manner. Students were asked to hand in their reasons for needing financial aid and 40 were told they had not.
The letters were then sent out to various members of faculty and many well known citizens of Lawrence who it might offer assistance to the students.
The students, themselves, Dean Werner said, absolutely refuse to accept charity, they will, however, accept any type of odd jobs or a loan which they pledge themselves to pay back. Everyone of these stories have been investigated, he said, and those deemed needy were included in the circular.
The two following paragraphs were chosen at random for examples of this type of stories in the letter:
List Two Paragraphs

Registration Bill Aimed at Students Now Outside City

AFFECTS BAKER ALSO

Topeka. Feb. 10.-(UP).Go the motion of Representative G. K. Melvin (Rep.) Douglas county, the house of Representatives yesterday amended and recommended for passage the bill by Higgins of Johnson county for registration to reach students of the University of Kansas and Baker University.
"They do not vote like students of an institution of higher learning, but like a bunch of sheep, guided by whoever gets to them."
"In our county we have a large number of residents of 'fraternity row' who wear in Wakunan prefecture," Melvin asks. "They are not required to register."
Baker students vote in Palmyra township, the Douglas member added, so he desired the measure be made to include his county.
NEW REGISTRATION POLICY
Present Law Requires Listing of Voters Only in Cities of First Two Classes
The present state law of Kansas requires registration of voters in cities of the first and second class. Lawrence is of the latter classification.
The Higgins bill, copies of which are not at hand, would apparently require preparation of a pre-election registration list by some official, presumably the county clerk, and Gins bill would apply to Wakura township, which surrounds the city of Lawrence on the west, south and east. It has a population of more than 2,400 persons, and east more than 1,300 voices according to C. O. Bowman, county clerk.
May Extend City Limits
While this U-shaped precinct is several miles wide, the greater part of the inhabitants live immediately adjacent to the boundaries of the city. For some time anitation has been on going to an extend the city limits to take in those persons living there. According to E. A. Wesetemeyer, city clerk, it is probable the larger number of the voters of Wakarusa precinct will soon be within the city, and, as residents of the city, subject to registration before being allowed to vote. County Clerk Bowman said he be- manded to registration in any precinct having the large number of voters that Wakarusa precinct now has.
Few Live in Fraternities
Few live in Fraternities.
There are eight fraternities and sororities in the so-called "fraternity row" west of the campus, with a probable number of 240 to 200. It is estimated that about 100 of these are of voting age.
Don Elkins, a resident of the district, said there was considerable student interest in the election last November, and strong efforts made to get out all students who were against the students voted at the Commons building as absentees so their votes could be counted in their home counties, where their chief interest lay. He said he doubted if a similar situation — with the general election — would arise again soon.
