COUNCIL MODIFIES DANCE REGULATIONS
Men's Governing Body Follows Faculty Lead in Revising Present Rules
TABOOS ALL PUBLIC PARTIES
Would Prohibit Student Attendance at Affairs Open Indiscriminately-Chaperones Required
Changes in the dancing rules which are less severe than those formerly proposed were adopted last night by the Men's Student Council. The following revised regulations were recommended to the University Council:
1. No student or group of students may give a dance during a regular session of the University until written permission shall have been obtained from the committee on student interests.
2. Permission will be granted after application to the chairman of the committee on Student Interests, and after satisfying the committee that the following regulations will be observed.
(1) All dancing parties must be properly chaperoned, and the names of the chaperones given in advance to the chairman of the committee on Student Interests.
Must Have Chaperones.
(2) No student or group of students may give or attend a dancing-party during a regular session of the University, which is thrown open to the public indiscriminately at a fixed price.
3. Dancing parties may be given only on Friday and Saturday nights, and on nights immediately preceding a school holiday. They must close at twelve p. m. on Saturday nights, at one on other nights; except that the Junior Promenade, Sophomore Hop, and farewell parties at the close of the school year may continue until the time limit proposed for them by the University Council; also, each society or organization may give formal dances until two a.m., provided that the committee on Student Interests is notified to this effect when application is made. Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the committee.
Would Remove Criticism
"In endorsing these rules, the Student Council had three purposes," said Pres. Charles Coates this afternoon. "First to remove the grounds for much criticism from outside sources of our present unregulated social affairs, which criticism, whether just or not, has had a harmful effect against the University. Second, to insure the financial success of our organization and other organization dances by discouraging the subscription dances which are largely responsible for our present deficiencies in the class treasuries; Third, to put Kansas on a par with the other leading universities in the matter of student regulation of all student activities.
Other Colleges Use Them.
"These rules, as approved by the Student Council are based largely on similar rules now in force in Missouri, Wisconsin, and other schools. Any class, society, boarding-club,
etc, which wishes to give a dance, can do so, after informing the faculty committee that it will provide chaperones, and close 'on time'. The success of the class parties is made much more certain since they will no longer need to compete with so-called 'Varsity' parties, Wednesday night dances, and Saturday morning 'dancing schools."
NTER-CLUB LEAGUE TO ORGANIZE AT ONCE
Frank Issues Call for Meeting of Captains on McCook Tuesday
All captains of inter-club baseball teams are requested to moot next Tuesday after meeting a l'ockon on MeCook field.
Coach Frank
...
The inter-club baseball league, promoted by Coach Frank and yesterday reported dead, is coming to the park and is very much ally and kicking.
A lot of interest in the league has developed. One captain of a club team said today: "All the fellows at the club are strong for the proposition we have been practicing right along and could enter a team now if necessary."
Coach Frank is enthusiastic over the idea of the club. "There are many students who never get to play ball here when only recognized on the Varsity," he said today. "With this league we can make baseball as we know it and get students in the University and go to play into the game. The league should be a howling success from the start."
All the balls, bats, gloves, an other apparatus for the league will be furnished by the athletic department.

Berths
A new editor-in-chief Omar Nate, managing editor Herbert Flint, and an associate editor James Houghton for the Daily Kansan were elected at a meeting of the Kansan board held this morning at chapel time. Oscar Rieger was also elected to the board.
"We shall endeavor to keep the Daily Kansan up to a high standard and to make it thoroughly representative of the University," said Omar Hite, editor-in-chief elect and James Houghton this afternoon.
"The Kansan is the student newspaper, and exists to serve students and their best interests through service to the University. We want the University community to feel this, and invite bried, terse communications on all questions which concern our college life."
"This should not keep freshmen from trying out. Three of the most dependable and live reporters now working are, not juniors or seniors, but freshmen."
"Reporters and more of them is what I want," said Herbert Flint, the new managing editor, this afternoon. "Students interested in newspaper work who want to try out as reporters are more than welcome.

K. U. STUDENTS TO EAT TWO-YEAR-OLD EGGS
Squad Will Test Food Value of Ancient Kansas Product
Time can't kill Kansas eggs. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the University of Kansas School of Medicine and secretary of the State Board of Health, makes this statement and tomorrow will begin a series of tests to prove it.
Dean Crumbine and Prof. F. H. Billings of the department of bacteriology will employ a squad of K. U. men in the experiments and for ten days will feed the students on a diet of Kansas eggs laid two years ago. The aged cold storage product will be served raw to the collegians each day with their meals and careful records will be made of the physical condition of the squad during the tests.
One recipe that Dr. Crumbine expects to prove popular with the students is the following: "Take a two-year-old Kansas egg. Beat up lightly. Serve frozen with choco- candy or corn cubes in the out that as the egg contains a large percentage of sugar, the result will be not unlike ice cream."
"I am confident that Kansas eggs, when handled properly, will keep for a normal period," declared Dr. Crumbine. "Two-year-old eggs, as we will demonstrate this week, may be eaten without any ill effects."
Phi Delta Phi Smoker
The Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity, gave a smoker last night for several members of the junior law class at the chapter house. About fifteen guests were present besides the members of the fraternity and talks were made by "Uncle Jimmie," Professors Higgins and Hill. After the speeches a light lunch was served and cigars passed around.
Shop at Home Now.
Parcel post stamps may now be obtained at the University postoffice and parcels may be mailed there. This change was made only recently, and hitherto the student who wished to use Uncle Sam's latest innovation had to lug his package all the way to the postoffice down town.

MEN CAN LIGHT UP IN BUILDINGS NOW
That Is, If Faculty Permits Anyway, Student Council Repeals Law
WOULD CHANGE SENIOR EXAM
Urges Exemption From Finals for Members of Graduation Class With High Grades.
The Men's Student Council repealed last night the rule which forbade smoking in University buildings. The action was because the rule as it stood was being violated in several buildings on the campus.
A new rule in regard to smoking was passed which leaves the que-士 to the faculty member in charge of the building. The rule reads as follows:
"That the member of the faculty in control of each building be given authority to sanction or forbid smoking in his respective building."
It has been the custom in Green hall to set aside a room where the students could smoke when the outside did not permit them to go out.
A recommendation was made to the University Council which will exempt all seniors and graduates from taking the final examinations who have had a term grade of "II" up until the time of the finals.
ASKS 1912 GRADUATES TO PAY ANNUAL LOSS
Council Requests Last Year's Class to Cancel $800 Jayhawker Deficit

At a meeting held last night it was decided to send a circular letter to all members of the class of 1912 to remind them of the promise made on the bidding scheme and election which makes all members of the class responsible for any deficit.
The letters will contain remarks from the Student Council and the Chancellor and in addition a sample of the ballot used in the election. At present the deficit is being carried by the Bureau of Engraving, Minneapolis and the Union Bank Note company, Verritt City.
