COUNCIL FAVORS JOINT COMMITTEE
NUMBER 91.
Recommends That Students Have Voice in Disciplinary Decisions
CHANGE UP TO THE SENATE
Would Give to Student Council and Senate Equal Representation on Board
A resolution passen by the Men's Student Council last night provides for the suggestion to the University Senate that the disciplinary committee be made up of an equal representation from the Student Council and the Senate to the Senate presented to the Senate at the next meeting, which is in March.
The disciplinary committee at present is a branch of the Senate and the student body has no representation that affect it in the way of discipline.
GREEVER EXPLAINS NEED
Paul Grever, president of the Men's Student Council, said this morning. After the anaconda last fall it has occurred that he really satisfactory way of setting matters of student discipline is by a joint committee of the students and the faculty. In this way both sides affected will have a voice in determining the discipline to be administered to offenders. Both the students and faculty will have equal opportunities to express themselves as executive bodies. The matter of apportioning the responsibility for clemency will be done away with and the trouble that comes with cases where a decision of some matter needs cooperation, will be alleviated.
RESULTS OF "NAUGHTY RALLY"
“This will do away with the complaints of acts of injustice done by a committee made up solely of faculty members and students acting as judges of their fellow-students cannot fail to do justice to both parties. It is better understanding between the faculty and students and while there has been no cause to find fault with the judgement of the members of the recent committee, I think this plan will be better for all concerned.”
SAY MISTER PROFESSOR,
HAVE A HEART
Come Down To Our Size
The action of the Student Council is the result of the "Naughty Rally" last fall by the disciplinary committee, in which the student body in order to have part in the settlement of the question or gain clemency for the offenders had to call a mass meeting with the student body. It is to do away with a recurrence of such trouble that the Council aims the resolution.
The same old failing of practically all of the professors was exhibited at the opening of the second semester. At the first meeting of class the course was explained and about two or three chapters were assigned for the next lesson. Because the first few lessons are so simple to the professors, who have spent their lifetime with them, these students can skim over this part of the text and collect all of it in their brain at a glance.
Please, Mr. Professor, have a heart
The modern language departments are noted for rushing the students the first two weeks of each semester, students say. These lessons are so difficult that you can do it no need is no use to spend any time on them. But the first lessons are the fundamental ones to the student, and if he gets these he does not have to worry and fret over the later ones so much. Probably the professors want to get over to a part where the students will have to say, "My, isn't he smart?"

UNIVERSITY IS READY TO FIGHT
Faculty and Students Are Will ing to Do Their Share
University Is at Head of Supply Source of the Country
K. U. TO BE BIG FACTOR
"If war is declared, the University, faculty and students, stands ready to its share promptly and willingly," said Chancellor Strong this morning, in answer to a question, Is K. U. prepared for war?
"Some of the biggest minds in the country are represented in the faculty of the University. The faculty like the students are ready to do all they can for the United States in case war is declared with Germany," continued the Chancellor. "I think the attempt to organize an intercollegiate arena on the mobilization trained human resources of the country is only an expression of eastern colleges to offer their services in case of war."
UNIVERSITY A FACTOR
The University is a large factor when it comes to a question of war with Germany, for Kansas will take a big part in the war if the United States is drawn into the conflict. The immense oil, lead and zinc fields of the state owe their development in a large measure to the activities of the departments of geology and mining in the University.
FACULTY IS PREPARED
Machine shops, factories and flouring mills are investigated and advised by the department of engineering. The department of chemistry has done its share in the development of Insects. In Kentucky University Kansas is at the head of one of the greatest supply sources in the country.
THE MARY JEROME issue of the Graduate Magazine will be published next week. It will contain the first of a series of interesting articles entitled, "Seeing K. U." There will be an article on the book of Charles F. Scott, and another on the book of Kate Stevens, A.B.75, will contribute an article on "Our Librarian."
Prof. W. A. Whitaker, head of the industrial department of chemical research in the University, is also head of the Associate Naval Consulting board of Kansas, Prof. George C. Shaad, of the electrical engineering department is another member of the board. Last summer this board gathered full data of Kansas resources and placed it on file with the United States Naval Consulting Board at Washington. Information in regard to the data is contained on a wall card in the files at Washington, although many pages were required for the information first hand. Each card is punched full of holes, according to a code, and can be translated by officers only.

These are apt to cause infection. In some room houses all the persons drink from one glass in spite of all warnings.

The fans lambed the llamas counted another free one, followed by a field basket by Vogt, Tiger right forward. With two minutes to play Gibbens caged a basket from the sidelines. A minute later, the team hooked a basket and the half closed the score 12 to 7 in favor of Missouri.
