Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at Kansan; to go further than merely printing the news by standing up to news; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to fdc; to be brave; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to identify the students of the University.

STILL UP TO COMMITTEE
Tonight marks the end of the Mott-Robins campaign. Many men and women have "resolved, with the help of God, to be a sincere follower of Jesus Christ." They made this resolution while inspired by the strong words of the leaders. When the leaders are gone and the excitement died down they will tend to fall back into the old life.
Its up to the committee, which prepared the work for the campaign, and which carried the burden of the work during the last week, to see that these men and women get assistance in keeping their resolutions. The committee's work has not ended.
GO TO UNION DEBT SHOW
The mark of success of the campaign is the number of student lives that are changed for better, not the number of flash-in-the-pan resolutions made. The campaign still depends on that committee.
A word to the Kansas student is sufficient—especially the result of his wisdom leads him into picture shows with a good program.
Tomorrow is Union debt night in the Varsity. All money taken in by the management above expenses will be given to the Student Council to apply to the Union debt. Later the Aurora management will give a like night.
The Varsity offers a good show to night, the date rule is off, and the money spent will go on the Union debt. Now get your date. If you can't get a date stag it. But go to the show.
WE WERE WRONG,W. S.G.A
In view of the communication appearing on this page from the W. S. G. A. the Daily Kansan wishes to apologize for intimating that that body was not accomplishing anything. The communication offers the probable reason for the misunderstanding
The women are right in withholding the names of the girls called up for breaking the date rule.
We would say to the Student Council, "See the W. S. G. A. Do your best."
WHERE, OH! WHERE?
What has become of the Senior Girl's Mixer, which is always going to happen and yet never does? Now that the strenuous studying for quiz week is past, the senior play is over, the girls' prom, and the Mott campaign week past, why not have one? It will soon be too late.
MERCER FOR GROUPING

University men, says that, all student elections should be grouped as nearly as possible. That should carry some weight.

W. S. G. A. IS DOING THINGS
Idea of no Accomplishment Eroneo is Proven by Facts
Several days ago the Daily Kansan contained an editorial on the "policy of secrecy," followed by the Council of S.C., who found that the result of a misunderstanding of the purposes of the Council, and of its methods of work; perhaps also of the failure of the Council to make its views known therefor the Council rises to explain.
It is not our intention to keep the proceedings secret; in fact, the steps taken are often not so well known as they might be, and always been the complaint of the W. S. G. A. that they could not get articles published in the Kansan; the Kansan board being composed entirely of men, did not, of course, comprise the majority of the University as news for the student body at large. This year the Kansan has given the women's Council fair play and just treatment, and the men's publicity department edge its indebtedness, and to express its appreciation.
Most of the plans put into operation from time to time have been published. Several social events have been put on during the year, such as the "Midday Dance" last fall, and the "Girls Prom" in February. These have all been well attended, and have done much toward getting all the girls of the city together, and giving them an opportunity to become acquainted with one another. The Council is planning others to be held this spring.
Some work has been done in the matter of reporting unsuitable rooming places for girls. This has been
done because embarrassment
did not concern it.

At the first of the year, the Council planned to work for a Women's Building for the University; but on account of the campaign for the Mills Tax, it was thought best to matter that it might be in the Kansan. We earnestly wish that the entire Association might understand fully the Council's plans and purposes. From now on, the district chairmen are expected to meet with the Council at the first regular meeting of each month, trust this the best way to work the links the Council into closer touch with all the girls of the University. Three district chairmen were present at the last meeting, March the first.
Gives Two Scholarships
Last year the W. S. G. A. gave two
academic awards and are now in the University and doing good work. This year the scholarship
A resume of the work attempted by the Association and by the Council as their representatives may be of interest to the women of the University.
Another plan which has just now reached the stage where it is worth while publishing it, is the plan for a Cooperative House. Various Council members have been busy investigating the methods of running such houses at other universities, faculty advisors, and women and men who may be able to give assistance. In such a plan, some strong organization rents a suitable rooming house, installs a woman as house mother and general manager, and lets out the rooms at a low rate to girls who wish to pay some of their own school expenses, cook meals, and keep the house in order, working in shifts, and having all so systematized as not to be a burden on any one girl. The actual running expenses of the house are divided among the girls living there. This lessens expenses very materially, and at the same time the students she is working only for herself. Such cooperative schemes have been very successful in other universities. The Council would be glad to have any girls who are interested communicate with some member of the Council or the faculty advisors; we would also be glad to hear from anyone who could give any assistance in supply, house furnishings, or in other ways.
The Point System every Kansas reader has had opportunity to hear of. The system has been completely outfined by a committee composed of college representatives, representative girls outside the Council, and faculty advisors; it has been recommended by the Student Interests Committee, approved by the University Senate, and approved by the College Girls of the University. If the Council should have accomplished nothing else this year than the establishment of the Point System, it has surely been worth while for that alone. After it is passed through, the work out to see that it is effective, and this will also devolve upon the Council.
Staged Social Events
Staged Sooth in events not interfere with the more important one. We signify our willingness to meet their Council in working for the Mill Tax, but it seemed to have no work in which we could assist.
Work for. Cooperative House
money may be put into the Cooperative
structure, it will help more people in that way.
Another plan is for a vocational conference to be held next year, or possibly this year if arrangements can be made in time. This will consist of a series of lectures by prominent workers explaining the various fields of work open to girls in other lines than that of teaching, and the preparation needed therefor. The Lawrence Association of Collegiate Alumnae held a series of such lectures in the first year. Plans are as set only in the first stages, but the Council hopes to work with the College Alumnae, or the University Alumnae Association to continue the work already begun.
All the above demands much committee work that takes time. In addition there are many minor matters, such as getting out petitions for the special election; voting to suspend the date rule for the Men's Student Council dance to pay off the Student Union debt; collecting the Association dues of twenty-five cents from each girl in the University; and putting on the manners business to next year's Council this spring; arranging for the advertising, and selling of tickets and refreshments at the Circus to be given in April; and so on almost ad infinitum.
Enforce Date Rule
We admit the charge of secrecy in this matter of discipline. Some discipline has been administered. Violators of the rules are called before the Advisor of Women for a private interview, or before the Council, as described in the Rule 105 of the Code, who kind to these girls, or a very wise method of procedure on the part of the Council, to publish the names of these offenders in the Daily Kansan! We fully realize that we do not know of all such offences committed; but every girl who violates the rule, including any situation, and the young man who asks her to break the rule, is not doing her any particular kindness or paying her any great compliment. In case of repeated violations, a girl's parents may be requested to withdraw the girl from the University. So if she violated the Rule 105, not be deemed necessary. The Council was spared the necessity of action in one case by the girl voluntarily withdrawing, and going home.
The one thing I have not mentioned, and which seems to be always the first thought when the W. S. G. A. is mentioned, is the Council's disciplinary powers. We are accused of not enforcing the mid-week date rule. We beg you to bear in mind also that there is not a single law on the statute books of the state of Kansas but is instead politically. The girls on the campus are not primarily a police force; we are all carrying full University work, and have moreover been busy with the enterprises explained above.
Hopes for letters to the Council realize that the more we work on it, then it has accomplished, and hopes that next year much more may be done. Full reports will be left, that the next Council may take up the work where this is required. The next week which we have not been able to put into operation. Suggestions and constructive criticism from the faculty and students will be welcomed.
