A. at present is nothing more or less than a secret society with disciplinary powers. All its meetings are held behind closed doors, and accounts of the proceedings are denied the student body. Criticism is made of the Association that it does not enforce the "date rule,""the 10:30 rule," or other provisions of its constitutions. The members aver that they do enforce them, but when asked when they hide behind the acurecy pledge. It is very likely that the Association does enforce the rules, at least a part of them, but the students will never believe it, and will not have confidence in the body until its proceedings are made public. AMEND THE CONSTITUTION For their own interests as a body and for the interests of the students W. S. G. A. members should open their meetings. The women are showing the right spirit in bringing out amendments for the W. S. G.A. constitution. Now for some amendment to the Student Council constitution. The following provision is made in the council constitution for amendments: "The constitution may be amended by a two-thirds majority vote of all present at a regularly called mass meeting; provided, that at least two weeks notice of the meeting and the proposed changes shall be given in the University newspaper and posted on the bulletin boards." According to Chancellor Strong a regularly called mass meeting of the men is a meeting of a majority of the men of the University held at a time not conflicting with University classes. The meeting may be called in any way desired, by word of mouth, by the Student Council, or through bills, by any student or students. Offhand $350,000 may seem a large amount to spend for one city the size of Lawrence for a water plant. But when one considers the ever-present danger to the health of twelve thousand townmen and two thousand and six hundred students from the "rotten" system now in operation $350,000 seems infinitely small. $350,000 AND HEALTH The bond issue should be voted unanimously. A SUGGESTION The city attorney says that while there is no definite city ordinance against the scattering of bills promiscuously along a city street, as they have been along Adams, too much of such a thing constitutes a nuisance and there is an ordinance against nuisances. And the police say that an arrest will be made on the first complaint. Every day during this week a little life sketch of one of the prominent men of the Mott campaign will be published on this page. Read it, and know about the men who will be here next week. We expect the butchers to come in with some advertising after all our boosting of a faculty beefsteak eat. Who's Who in the Mott Meetings Raymond Robins is a practical sociologist. He has lectured on sociological subjects for the University of Chicago and has contributed to sociological magazines and reports. He served as the director of lodging houses. He has occupied the pulpit of Beecher's old church in Brooklyn, the platform of the Original Chautaquain, and has spoken in the forum of Corrections of the reference of Charities and Corrections. Robin was once an agnostic in religion. But while prospecting in Alaska he came upon a Jesuit mission and made friends with the inmates, by whom he was converted. At once the real estate broker, landowner, lawyer, gold-seeker and apostle of Henry George became the champion of Chesapeake unrighteous end of the world, the gold fields of Alaska. Soon he became pastor of the First Congregational church of Nome, and was likewise appointed to act in the same capacity for the Methodists of that city. Almost alone and unaided, he destroyed the corrupt political machine then in control of Nome's municipal government. Contracting typhoid while acting as a fever maker in the village apaused him up south for his health. After a visit with his sister in England, and short visits in New York and San Francisco, he decided to make his permanent home in Chicago. Here he took charge of and reorganized the Municipal Lodging House, a city institution. Being appointed to a position on the school board by Mayor Dunn, he lead a fight against graffiti in that circle. He has written books on important features in the political life of Chicago. Mr. Robin's services are qualified by the fact that he has his own rich experiences from which to draw. He has worked as a common laborer in mines, in logging camps, on ocean vessels, in steel mills, on railroads, in construction, in unites the advantages of an idealist with the power of a competent administrator. What is a Class Memorial? And what that's that makes a nonsecessary question, isn't it? "Why, you boob," I hear someone already saying, "a class memorial is something presented to a university by a class or organization to stand for memories, etc; an ornamental bronze tablet or stone bench." Are there no other forms of class memorials save those already mentioned? This question has been brewing in my mind for some time. I have hesitated to open my Kansan when handed to me by the mail carrier, for fear I might see another enthrallment. The class discipline to leave a memorial to the University. A stone bench or a fancy gateway. Ah, yes,-a stone bench, or a bronze tablet, or an ornamental gateway,-how natural. Yes-,but Why? As I read eagerly every day the tragic serial story, "The Fall of the Student Union," I wondered if a better memorial could be laid. I thought the sophomore class or the senior class in 1915 furnished the money which pulled the Student Union from its death-bed and dispersed the hungry creditors from its doors. Of course, no such action was taken now, in a spirit of retribution, to put by a fund to keep fresh flowers on their original plans be carried out. I suppose it is best now that the original plans be carried out. Those students who most needed the Student Union may then in lieu of ties in the student benches, or gaze up at that new gateway on Oread avenue and say, "Ah, how beautiful, and beneficial!" The Underwood What better memorial could the next class present to the Universi than a fund for the purpose of having a study of Mount Oread made ar plans drawn up for its improvement Features such as ornamental e First in public opinion. Proved through its adoption by the largest typewriter users. Highest mechanically, as evidenced by the award of the Elliott Cresson Medal. UNDERWOOD Before any more class记忆奖金 are spent so foolishly, why not pause to consider some better ways in which to invest? What the University needs now is a plan. It should be drawn up very carefully how. All the latest ideas in landscape art for colleges should be considered. When it is finished, it no doubt will look like a "pipe dream," and there will be many who will declare that the grounds can never be made to look like that. You've made them in a day. Neither were the greatest parks and campuses made in a day. But there are classes coming and going each year, and (whisper) there are appropriations made the University each year for improvement of grounds. The university's previously planned purpose, it would not be long before there would be a new campus beginning to materialize. Best In addition to this, along comes a class and decides to leave a memorial. After much labor of collecting funds, and much discussion as to what and where to leave the memorial, said class decides upon a massive stone bench. Ignoring ninety-nine different location, which out of one of them is made suitable either for practicability or for the view obtained, they pounce upon one spot down on the side of a hill. There they lay a great foundation. And there they place the bench where anyone brave enough to sit upon it can look out upon a mass of foliage and underbrush which, luckily, conceals a dark ravine, watching the Lawrence street cars pass occasionally. And all the people who come into that some 'steen dozen curious students are passing above you and possibly saying things behind your back! "The Machine You Will Eventually Buy" because it is the machine upon which all International typewriter records have been won. 912 Grand Avenue Greatest Everyone knows that Mount Oread offers the greatest possibilities for making it the most beautiful university campus in the country. But the great essential which is lacking is a plan on which to proceed to beautify; a goal towards which to work. The littles dabs of beautifying which the power of landscapes which art of those campus each year only seem to make the whole effect a greater jumble. Shrubs and trees are struck here and there, mutilating the beautiful expanses of open lawn, blocking up wonderful vistas and leaving great bare spaces around the bases of the buildings, which act as the eyes of those who not the least principles of the art of landscape beautification. Roads are put through and across, merely to make short cuts; in other words for convenience. They are plotted out and constructed by someone who at the every first does not look to see that the curved are of the buildings, which they harmonize with roads already put in. Observe the line of one of our longest walks on the Hill. If you try to follow it closely, I'll warrant you will arrive at its other end with your eyes out of joint' and your disposition so full of joys and jolts that you'll take a stand back and look at them some another time ago. I read in the Kansan where they were contemplating making some of the old roads, on the Hill of asphalt! Kansas City, Missouri trances, monuments and stone benche would all be planned. And this time by one who had studied the possibilities and advantages of the most suitable locations for each. Then the next class could look over the plans and decide upon some such feature as the gateway or a fountain perhaps, or that they would in diversity. In this way the effect would begin to be seen immediately and in the end, we would have a campus to be more than proud of. From the standpoint of the memorial feature, what better memories could be wished for than such mention as the following which no doubt would make you want to go to those interested in beautiful Mount Orend of the University of Kansas? "Prior to 1915, no definite plans were on hand for the improvement of our campus. Yearly improvements were being made, but each with little effect. But to the senior class of 1915 was to fall the distinction of starting that which has culminated in this beautiful place. "The senior class of that year subscribed $... to be used for the purpose of defraying expenses of drawing up a comprehensive plan for the improvement of the campus, such fund to be known as the 1915 Memorial Fund. Fired with enthusiasm in the plan, the sophomores of that year are required to pay the University, chose the gateway as suggested on the general plan of improvement as the feature upon which to carve their memory. "Since then, each class has chosen a feature suggested on the general plan, with the result that now, when the plans have been almost completed, we must change. We are planned by the Master mind, and second to none in this country." An Interested Alumnus.
