Speeding Drivers Will Plead Cases in Student Court
Men's Council to Revoke Semester Privileges; Third Offense Is Suspension
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1927
Speeding on the campus between classes was the main topic of discussion at the regular meeting of the college board that took place night. Disregard of the University rules on operation of cars on the campus is becoming too common, it was said.
One offender appeared before the Council in answer to a summons for him. The officer was on Monday. The offender was warned and dismissed after the rules had been carefully explained to him. The offenders are listed with the secretary.
Speed Limit Is Twenty
According to a ruling of the Men's Student Council, it is unlawful for any male student to drive a car on campus. It is also unlawful to speed in excess of 20 miles an hour. "Section two of the bill," states Raymond Nichols, president of the Council, said in a letter addressed to men at slaughter times each hour thereafter until 4:20 p.m., it is unlawful for men students to drive at a speed of 12 miles an hour.
To Prevent Accidents
Persons convicted of violation of this law are punishable by the following disciplinary measures: depriving of social privileges for a period of one semester; for the second offence, the prohibiting of driving or other hazardous activities to the penalty provided for the first offense; for the third offense, suspension from the University for a term.
In addition, to Council members and the University traffic officers, charges may be made by any member of the University or any officer. The aim of the law against speeding is to reduce the possibility of accidents; the aim of the law against law is wholly for the own good of the student body and offenders will be liable to appearance before the courts.
Three new men, elected two weeks ago, were sworn into office. They were: Ed Farmer, treasurer of the council; Euel Rinhoim, representative from the Graduate School; and later representative from the School of Pharmacy.
In addition to the regular Council business, special committee members had been elected to University Hill party on Oct. 28 were discussed. Cleo Wilcox was elected to the vacancy in the office of representative from the School of Law.
Reports upon the Dau's day varsity at Robinson gymnastium noted a big financial success to the council.

Chancellor E. H. Lindley delivered a short tribute to the Dean.
Members of the School of Engineering and Architecture, faculty members and students attended in a body.
The Rev, A. D. Grey, pastor of the Congregational church and signeer friend of the late Dan Walker, in speaking of his many a compassibility.
"The going of Dean Walker has sadden us suddenly aware of what a can be晃, somewhat of how great he was. Somehow, with us we accepted him with us we accepted him with that matter-of-fact assurance which is the one of the typical American community.
"Now we are wide awake to the fact that we loved him—deeply, for three tremendous integrations of his mind and body into his mind and soul. There are a few even like that in every community; there is a rugged and sable strength in his heart; he has admirable so much by their brilliance or our amusement by their flashes of genius, as they built us in a reliance on truthfulness, generosity, another too rarely practiced) qualities that make the true man—honesty, truthfulness, fidelity, generally, industry. These are the peaks of greatness, and in these the Dean was rich.
"The Dean did not have sagacity in this matter. He was rich but he knew it not."
"We showed our love and confidence in him by gymnasing his responsibility for training us. We summoned his knowledge and unbounded energy, to solve our problems," he achieved in their solution was yet an autre summe de doirre. Success
"The indictment in the death of this servant of the people is upon this compartment, upon this compartment, upon the strength and health of men like Dean Walker it is miracles. It says—give us your mind, give us your heart, give us your glove, give us your wrist, give us your vignette, give us your strain. But it gives little in return. The compartment has a lot of possibility for demands of a neatly conciliatory, the arithmetical progression of work amounts to little less than a crisis."
"Dean Walker was a man of force and fidelity of conviction and unboundable texture of courage. But he was a woman of constriction on human actions. None of us knew that beneath the exterior of calm and self-passion with which we worked, there was a wealth of tumultuous feeling and condition which struggled for expression. How little we knew him! In his letters to us his passionate love for humanity has been described in the state, became manifest. We knew then that this man, a giant in ambition, volition, achievements, was given great freedom and机会 lies the true seat of proportions.
