W. S. G. A. ANNOUNCES DOPE ON DATE RULES
Edict Carrying Sad and Previous Tidings Goes Into Effect Tonight
LIBRARY DATES TO STAND
But no Loitering on Way Home Will be Countenanced Durin- week
The Date Rule Goes on Tonight.
HELEN OLSON,
President W. S. G.A.
Six fateful words, in the above edict of the president of the Women's Student Government Association, mean that the following rules go into effect, and that all University authorities, members of the W. S. G. A. University, and theirized women's roaming houses are vigilant on the lookout for any infractions thereof:
After 10 o'clock in the evening on week nights girls you can't even look at a man. This is straight dope, for it was obtained from a prominent member of the W.S.G.A., who pointed out several cases of sad things that happened to folks who violated this rule.
CLOSE UP AT 10:30
Of course, now, inasmuch as the library doesn't close until 10 o'clock, the women have a few minutes in which to walk home. The houses are scaled, look, bar, and shutter, at 10:36 o'clock and all out after this hour sleep in the parch swing or climb the fire-scape.
Males of the species may accompany the young women home from the library, our W.G.A. informant tells us. The path from library to rooming house must be straight and narrow one, it is made up of the path of the wary student, and there must be no loitering by the wayide, nor stopping.for refreshments. Library dates, too, are the only kind permitted, after 8 o'clock
Culprits who violate these rulings of the Women's Student Government and the university per caught assault, besides the pangs of conscience, the ordal of being "called up" before the W. S. G. A., where their case is handled, are in the hands of swimmats, swimpadders, and by denial of social privileges of attending dances and other social affairs.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, however, are much different matters. Eleven o'clock is the "deadline," the "zero hour," as you might say, on Friday and Saturday nights, except in the case of dances, when 12 o'clock is the end of all merriment, and the signal for search for hatchches and enough money to taxi-driver, permission from Dr. Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, dances may be held beyond the mystique hour of midnight.
W. S. G. A. High Cost Reduce Ready for Business of Selling Books
BOOK EXCHANGE OPENS

A. in Fraser Hall Tuesday night
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 16, 1920.

Students who have had ten hours work in French admitted to the program and were accompanied with a French table, but the plan has proved successful at other universities.

"Eight bodies mangled beyond description, lay sprawled before the white stone steps on the Broad street side of the world's greatest banking house. Of their three were those of girls in their teens. On a window behind me, the snowy body, the head snapped flat against the brownstone front of a brokerage office. Along the sidewalk were men and boys, their legs a few feet away, a foot here, a head there. Everywhere was blood."
