STUDENT SUSPENSION PROPER SAYS BOARD
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 3, 1913.
Howe and Wingart Will Be Out of School Till Oct.10
CHANCELLOR'S STATEMENT
Organizations Deny Story—Win
gart Admits Two Mistakes But
Says Article Was Otherwise
True.
"The Board of Administration after thoroughly going into the matter of the suspension of Wayne Wingart and L. E. Howe and the evidence in connection with the case was of the importance sent out by them was substantially false and that the fraternities and sororities in question were not subject to censure. As long as no formal rule had ever been imposed on the university, the punishment of the two boys was made much lighter than would happen in any succeeding case. The Board also passed some stringent orders in regard to correspondence sent out from the university and the control of its social life.
"Frank Strong."
After an all-morning session at which Howe and Wingart and officers from the two fraternities and two sororites in question were given a hearing, the Board of Administration unanimously held that the suspension by the Chamber of State correspondents who wrote the "tango" story was justified, and that the story was largely false.
Because it had announced no guiding policy in the matter [the Board of Directors] University Oct 10. In the future the Board will hold student newspaper correspondents strictly responsible foraccuracy in news coverage to the University.
"The Board found that the article in question was substantially false," Chancellor Strong said this afternoon. "Three of the fraternity and sorority representatives denied that any of their members had planned to take the lessons at the organization had not, and did not, intend to form a club for giving the weekly 'tango' parties, or for learning the dance."
The 2a Board found that the frater-
ture question were not subject to censure.
"I consider the action of the Board to be just according to the facts in the case and certainly feel that no student should send out any news stories from the University whose accuracy he cannot vouch for."
Although the two students, Wingart and Howe, admit that they were mistaken in two details, they maintain that these statements were of minor importance and that the story was largely true.
"As a matter of purely personal opinion," the Chancellor continued, "I cannot see how any student can be trusted in an institution he news to University which he owes loyalty to, that would in any way reflect on the good name of the institution. Especially when these accounts cannot be verified, because a large one, in my estimation."
In a statement to the Daily Kansan this afternoon, Wingart said. "The Board of Administration made a report on our work with a square deal. They found mistakes in two parts of the story. The words 'club have been formed' and classifying the club as one company, not a community, so sorority, were not proved conclusively in our evidence. The Tango story should have read, 'several members are planning to form a class'. Otherwise the members of the Board gave us the impression that we had sufficient information about our school's kind. This is all I have to say at present concerning the trouble."
The official action of the Board follows; "Ordered that the action of the Chancellor in suspending Wayne Wingart and L. E. Howe was fully justified by the circumstances in the case but for the reason that the Board had hitherto ordered, upon the recommendation of the Chancellor the suspension is to terminate at the end of one week.
"Further ordered that the Board of Administration will hold student correspondents for newspapers strictly accountable for the accuracy of the reports they send out from the University.
"Further ordered that the Board approves of the policy of the University Council in exercising strict control of the social conditions at the University and that it will support a number of points that will guard the good name of the students and the welfare of the University. It further thoroughly disapproves of the Tango and other suggestive dances of like nature and will discourage from a disciplinary standpoint for any group of students or for individuals to seek to introduce or practice them."

Mrs. McCarter Given Ar Ovation In Chapel—Discussed Kansas
ARTHUR ST. LEGER MOSSE
Head Coach
Margaret Hill McCarter, of whom Karen proudly carries the name of proud of Kansans which crowds a crowd of Kansans to chapel this morning and could not accommodate, nearly all.
Mrs. McCarter, as she herself admitted, is one of those old-fashioned married women who drink, water and eat breakfast, dinner, and supper. Havvah politics to deliver she came to talk as sister with a younger sister, or as a mother to her children of the heritage which we Kansans have from Europe.
"Home life is the bulwark of the nation, and love of home is one part of the great heritage which has demanded to do so. Knowledge and training to that spirit of loyalty that makes and saves homes is even greater state than it is now.
“Your heritage,” said she, “lies in that light which has come down from past years. You are the light that was born from you, the light the path before you, and you stand today rich in that spirit of loyalty and that spirit of love for home and country which characterizes Kansas of Kansas a hundred years ago.
“Kansas is fond of limelight and lightest is fond of Kansas. If we have a freak or a crank that person is bound to be known the country over. What is done in Kansas soon appealed to the work of the people with the sharpness dunner than ‘the Kaw has told the Missouri and he Missouri has told the sea.’”
Mrs. McCarter concluded her talk with the reading of one of her poems which appears in her book, "The Wall of Men." The applause which greeted when she had finished was no less than that which cheered Roosevelt or Taft or Champ Clark before it was missing, a rousing "Rock Chalk" for the author of "Cuddy's Baby."
The first of a series of concerts of the School of Fine Arts was given in Fraser hall last night by the facade installation of the sculpture in attendance. The features of the evening were the original selection of Professor Preyer on the piano and the singing of Professor Carrell, Professor Dowling's dolmsh琴 were all received. The singing of Dean Skilton and the singing of Miss Cora Reynolds.

—Parliamentary Law Was
Not Forgotten
Be it resolved by the freshman class, that, since the wearing of a prescribed headgear by the freshmen has been a custom of the University, as a class, request the privilege of wearing the emblem prescribed by the Student Council
A resolution requesting that they be allowed to wear caps, as prescribed by the Student Council, was adopted by two hundred freshmen at a mass meeting in Blake hall yesterday afternoon. The vote was two for the resolution. It is not sent to the University and Student Council.
"We should consider the old traditions of this institution, for the traditions are most sacred to any institution, whether it be a crap game or the United States. Tradition is important, but we do not want to be mixed up in any affair which would spoil this tradition, as sacred as any building on the hill. It should be an honor to be a man who had helped to build up a new down an old trench at the cost of tearing the greatest faculty in the United States. I want to meet 99 per cent of the men who are here tonight and how can I do it we do not wear the mark of the freshman? The good old custom is good enough for me to attend class of 1917. Therefore, I resolve:
Jack Challis was elected chairman, after considerable confusion, and a heated discussion on parliamentary law. After some arguments had taken hold in both sides, Simmons introduced the resolution adopted, saving:
Social Notes
The Kansas spirit showed well when the meeting came to a close and as the men left Blake hall old Rock Chalk rang out over the campus from the throats of this "history making class."
Blasdade opened the meeting, and delivered a short speech. "The old time custom and tradition has gone to seed—been changed until a new generation freshens class," he said. "It is both obnoxious and objectionable! Shall we be forced to wear the insignia which makes us all objects of derision? Couture will not summon you to summit of Mount Oread. We should pull ourselves free from the control of the unsympathetic Student Council men, and adopt an insignia that does not there is history in the making in this class? If we should adopt an insignia denoting our freshmen班, we could also send them a class to enforce the wearing of it."
The Alpha Delta Pi sorority will give a tea next Tuesday from four to honor of its house-mother, Mrs. T. N. Strahm. The guests will inquire about the University sororities and fraternities and the patronesses of Alpha Delta P, Mrs. George O. Foster, Mrs. F. H. Billings and Mrs. A. Grifford.

This line-up upsets dope considerably by the change of Greenleees from half to end, and the insertion of Web Martin at the end. James has been shifted from end to tackle, and James from tackle t. guard. The remainder of the team will keep their regular positions. * Not a line of information has reached Manager Hamilton or Coach Mose from the end.
