K.U. DOES NOT WANT HONOR SYSTEM NOW
Letters Received by Committee Show Unaminous Opposition to Adoption
95% FAVOR THE SENTIMENT
Nearly All Societies Are Willing to Support Movement for Later Establishment of System
About 10% per cent of the answers on the honor system from the social fraternities and other organizations of the University unanimously opposed the immediate adoption of the honor system. But one organization objects to the honor sentiment agitation which is being created by the joint honor committee.
Ninety-five per cent were willing to support the honor 'sentiment movement'. The question asking how many would sign a pledge to not give or receive aid in quizzes, that all note book and exercise work would be original, was answered affirmatively by but 29 per cent.
Many thought this form was unmanageable or that a better method could be decided.
In reply to the query as to what was the most prevalent form of cheating that is now in practice, practically all answers placed cheating in quizzes first, and using "inherited" notebooks second.
The committee will make a detailed report to the two student councils, the Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A. in January. It will not approve the immediate adoption of the system, but it will continue to maintain the sentiment which is necessary for the ultimate adoption of the system.
To recommend an adoption at this time would mean that it would have to submit a set of rules defining cheating, providing for its detection, fixing the penalty, and establishing a means of trial for the accused.
Suggestions from faculty and the student body concerning any phase of the honor sentiment agitation or the adoption of the system to help the committee in its work will be received by the Daily Kansan.

Chicago Graduates Would Ignore Mosse and Kennedy for Next Year-Want Page of Chicago
The coaching problem at the University, like the ghost of Banque, refuses to be ignored.

DISCUSS VIOLATIONS OF MIDWEEK [RULING
President Says W.S.G.A. Has no Authority to Punish Offenders
MANY INFRINGEMENTS NOTED
Twenty-Seven Couples Counted on Massachusetts Street Last Night —Council Has Power
Twenty-seven violations of this rule were recorded on Massachusetts street between 7:30 and 9 o'clock last week for the University Daily Kansan.
"Social engagements should not be made for the evenings of schooldays, except for Friday evenings and for evenings preceding holidays," read Section III of the fourth article of the by-laws of the Woman's Student Government Association of the University.
"We realize fully that this is a question that must soon be brought to the attention of the women students of the University, the president of the W. S. G. A., today. "Somebody must have power to enforce this rule. At present we have no definite authority in the matter, as about the only power we can do is the violators and debaem from student activities.
"We have been able to use what authority we have only about five weeks and are too short a time for our organization to establish a controlling influence.
W. S. G. A. Has No Power
W. S. G. A. Has No Power "Further, this power was delegated to the Student Council, and then has never been any more important in regard to this special question of punishment for violations of this rule."
"This is a matter that is entirely for the settlement of the W. S. G. A." said Prof. Eugenie Galloo of the department of Romance Languages. "Of course the power was turned over to them rather late and they have not yet had time to act. As far as we are concerned we have our ideas and methods of dealing with this matter but first we want to give the Association a chance to do what they think best.
Says Students Should Enforce It
"Formerly this rule was only a precedent established by the girls of the University. It was codified by the W. S. G. A. and I think it is a matter they should settle. I consider that they have full power to deal with it as they see fit according to the powers delegated by the University Council."
ALL IS NOT LOVELY FOR SOCIAL LIGHTS
The Question of New Dances and Chaperones Now up for Discussion.
The new social regime at the University is causing the chairmen of the social committees in the various classes and organizations, and the faculty committee on student interests considerable worry. Knotty questions concerning halles, and chaperies are coming up weekly.
At a recent party where four faculty chaprons were present the two men had a lengthy discussion about the authority behind them in any action they might want to take at the dance. "Suppose we should want to request a couple of students to should push into the matter of our authority," one of them is reported to have said, "just who would back us up?"
His companion had no assurance to offer.
Prof. E. W. Murray, chairman of the student interests committee said this morning that any fear as concerning authoritative "backing" was absolutely groundless. "The entire faculty and administration of the university would be behind the chaperon, in any action," he said.
The students who have charge of the different parties that have been given since the new ruling, say that they have difficulty getting faculty members to act as chaperons. This view was expressed in the communication column of the Daily Kansan last week by a student who signed his letter, "a dancer." Professor Murray says that he has heard no of such difficulty if the students try hard enough to get chaperons.
Weather Forecast. Fair tonight and tomorrow. No change in temperature.
