THE COUNCIL ACTION
FRIDAY, FEB. 4, 1921
The boycott has come. The action which brought down the high prices of dance music was taken by the Men's Student Council. It is a long hoped-for move in the minds and pocket books of the dancers, and was a wise step on the part of the Student Council.
The maximum rate set by the Council is a fair one. No one can disprove the rate which has been fixed, and none should be burdened with the high price of dances from now on, Dance Manager, also, should have no trouble in keeping down the enormous mounts which have been necessary in the past in putting on dances, and should have no trouble in coming out above board, financially.
Moreover, the virtual boycott of the high-priced Kansas City orchestra can be only as a wise step. The main reason for the engagement of such high priced organizations in the past has been a general attempt to "outdo anything that has been put on before." The present action relieves all organizations and should result in more sensible social functions at the University.
Perhaps the best feature of the Council action is the fact that it includes all organizations on the Hill. Practically every organization was represented at the Council meeting which considered the acton, and each pledged support to any action the Council may effect. And now that the action has been taken, each organization is duty bound to abide by the fixed schedule of prices. It must be all, or none,
In its final aspect, the Council action is merely another way of "backing up the Chancellor." It is another way of bringing about solidarity of spirit and feeling between the student body and the administration, and in making the University nearer " the ideal of Chancellor Lindley.
A VALUABLE PROJECT
Next week, the University will give a concrete example of how it directs serves the people of the state. The Sixth Annual Merchants' Shoe Course, conducted by the Universit Extension Division, is the occasion.
The Short Course this year offers a better program than ever before. As always, it will be intensely practical, Clothes, grocers, drummets, hard-men and merchants of all kinds will attend, and in speech and conversation share with their fellowes their experiences in bettering their enterprises. Professors from the economics and journalism departments will give talks on subjects of importance to every merchant.
Students will get just as much good from these discussions as the merchants will. In what way can a major in economics or journalism get better working knowledge on different
lines of work he is preparing for, than
from these practical discussions by men
who have spent years in the ranks?
A two-fold service for the University is thus included in the offering of this Short Course by the Extension Division. First, it brings K. U. into intimate contact with the merchants of the state, helping and informing them, and second, it gives University students a live opportunity to get posted on problems and questions which they must deal with when they are ready to mix in the business world.
BACK THE CHANCELLOR
Chancellor Lindsey recently asked the co-operation of the Student Governing Bodies of the University in eliminating all dances of uncertain nature from University parties and organization dances given by the University students. It is much to the students' credit that they promised their unanimous support.
In spite of this fact, considerable student opinion has applauded itself against the suggested improvement with the result that the shimme and toddle still exist at Varsity and other dances. It may have been of interest to the insurgent-members of the student body to note what the city administration of Kansas City has done as exemplified in a communication to the Kansan.
When a city administration deems it advisable to take steps of this nature and enforce regulations which affect everything from the public dance hall to the private dancing clubs, it is ridiculous to think what a painful influence the few incarcerated dancers on the Hill can expect to exert in over-ruling the earnest recom-
is putting his best in time and effort to place K. U. where it should be—in the hearts of all the people of Kansas. Indeed, it would be wise to give this matter more attention on the Hill, before the insurgent movement grows and destroys all possibility of action by its contentment of the opinion of the representatives of its governing bodies. Respectful compliance should be the least to expect from the student body. It is true that youth is very apt to disregard recommendations and bow only to law, and for this reason, the Student Council, W. S. G. A., and Advisory Assembly, as the student law-making machine, should take more definite action immediately. Other Universities have seem fit to have these modern off-
mediately. Other Universities have seen fit to bar the modern offsprings of the dance, as have clubs
and cities and it is only reasonable to
expect every student to line up solidly behind the Chancellor and give him unanticipated support, not in useless reform, but in pertinent eradication of undesirable tendencies in student life.
CLEAN SPORTS
Ed "Strangler" Lewis, world's champion heavy weight wrestler, has offered to relinquish the notorious headlock hold which has given him so many victories, but such adverse popularity, of late.
Mr. Lewis is wise, in thus extem-
ponentially offering to quit the
detested hold. He knows only too well
that his fame as a champion wrestler
is practically at an end unless he
discards it, and proves in subsequent
matches that he is a grappler of no
mean ability even when not using it.
The power of public opinion, once it sets its mind on anything, is forcibly shown in the Lewis incident. Fair play, both in sports and other contests, is what Americans demand. They are fooled by fakers and usurpers at times, but it does not take long to pick out such individuals.
Americans are sport- loving people, but they hate tactics used in any context which are not square and aboveboard. The headclock has proved to be nothing but an inhuman method of torture which requires only brute strength to make it effective. The American public was quick to recognize and condemn it as such.
The Iowa State College wrestling team defeated Wisconsin's, 46 to 8 in a mat-met last week. Iowa State's two mile relay team also finished first in an invitation relay meet with Notre Dame at Chicago last week.

Campus Opinions
The action of the organized men and women of the University and the rulings which have been adopted by those bodies, are a welcome move by many of the students of the Hill. There has been considerable comment in the past about the styles of dancing that are permitted at the University and in other areas. Such concert action to eliminate such undesirable features from social affairs.
Editor, Daily Kansan;
--starts very early in life, we are led to believe when we study the works of representative poets of the English language. Before the rhythm wielded by the pen can become of widespread interest there naturally comes a time when it is in season for it to be merely of campus or local interior men who speak the Kansas language and Kansas poets have not lagged behind the record of those who surrounded them.
Can the action of the organized bodies of the University eliminate such undesirable actions among the students? This question seems double pertinent for every student and faculty member. It has had little attention at the University in the past. But there is little doubt, that student opinion can remedy such conditions, now that action has been taken.
One needs only to consider the action which has been taken by the city administration in Kansas City to offence the public, and could be bettered. There the toddle, shimme, and shuffle have been entirely outhed from all public and semi-public dances. The action of the city requires that an inspector from the city department of recreation must see that an announcement be made at every public and semi-public dance concerning the forms of dancing which are not permitted, and other regulations. If Kansas City does not comply with such forms of social affairs, is there doubt that a university can carry
For further consideration, the statement of the supervisor of recreation, as published in the Kansas City Star, presents the undesirable points of such social actions. The statement follows;
"The shimmy started out with a bad name to live down, and has succeeded only in living up to its bad name. It is no good.
"The shuffle, properly done, is one of the prettiest of the new dances, but who can do a shuffle properly with a jazz record putted wicked little kinks in his step? The harmless 3-step he has some spoiled children and he has some spoiled children.
"The toddle is only a fast two-step. It is a pretty dance. It isn't the going fast which hurts, but as it is danced over it, it becomes more for a long 'hold step.' In that stop there may be, notice I say only 'there may be,' all the 'kick' experienced by the Irishman in old story when he cement after falling "vom the building."
Considering such facts, is it not time that the students and faculty of K. U. should have taken such action toward the undesirable element in the social affairs and life of the University—A Dancer.
"We desire to avoid even the ap-
pearance of evil. The rule that girls
must remove their hats and not take
long motor car rides in dance intermi-
nions is not to eliminate bad girls
from our dances. The great majority
of the girls at dances are good girls
We desire to keep them good."
The editorial which appeared in the Kansas recently took the attitude that much the greater part of K. U. poetry should be classed as "milding" along with the more intense plot submitted by the animateur景画 writer.
Editor. Daliv Kansan:
While the idea is not wholly fallacious, we believe that K. U. poetry ranks and always has ranked encouragingly high in literary history, as did the Pianist" attempted to save the painstair at a second rate dance and was urged as one which might lead to clemency for the developing poet. Fowler shops was pointed to as a better practical nuisance than herodore disliked by campus poets.
Poetry to the natural poet is a precious thing of which the hoarding
Nearly every campus publication contains the thoughtful selections of outside poets or with original and artistic verse by Oread students. A campus literary organization has resumed publication of branches are being established for underclassmen and prospective joiners of the older order.
If poetry has a place in the inspiration and organization of the outside world it has even a larger place than fiction. Poetry is an airie field of a university campus. Thinking the whole case over clearly, we are not abashed with the mediocrity of K. U. poetry nor do we fail to look forward to reading more of it.
