Rieniets Summarizes Work
Rienets Summarizes Work
Summarizing briefly his hopes for the future, Rienet stresses the necessity of discipline among the student body and expressed the belief that some means of re-apportionment should be adopted which will make possible better repurpose. He suggests the Council, and which will promote continuity within the body. "I wish to point to the measures that have been enacted by the Council this year, and which are daily in force in the University," he adds. The editorial of the Kansas some time past that there is no such thing as student government at Kansas. Such a claim is absurd, and I wish to express my opinion that it portrayed a lack of responsibility in the part of the writer," said Rienets.
"I owe an apology to the new Council and to the University," he added, "in not seeing the enactment of traffic legislation on the Hill that would care for the roller skate problem," and ended his term as president of the Council by retiring from his position of the new head, Albert Peterson.
President Peterson, after introducing the individual members of the new Council, outlined his ideas for the body. He expressed the belief that co-operation from the students and faculty is the main essential to a successful institution, and voice his confidence in both the students and faculty members.

Men Caught "Red-Handed"
The men were caught "red-handed" yesterday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock. The dean had heared rumors of poker games and the cutting of classes, but his investigations for the last two weeks had been in vain.
"Give me a deuce fella," came a voice. Another said, "I guess I'll play these." Pause, . . . "That doesn't sound like class work to me" thought the dean, as he walked down the corridor and went up, whereupon he walked in on the seven and gamsters. Immediately the student were notified of their summation.
Doctor Wahl said last night "I am afraid that the matter may assume very serious aspects before the investigation is completed."
According to Tana Wani, each afternoon at Bell Memorial hospital there is conducted a very large clinic. Different doctors preside over this clinic at different hours and sometimes there is a wait requested due to the fact that the doctor for the next hour is not always able to be on time.
Mcn Already Warned
It was during one of these waits that the game was in progress, and only four of the men implicated had any business to be there. The other three were not waiting to do clinical work, and one of them had been excused from a class on account of illness.
Several of these men had already been warned in regard to poker playing, according to Dean Wahl, and if they were told the actor must be taken immediately.
Chancellor Lindley said this after noon that the names of the men involved would not be made public a least until the hospital board has come to a final agreement as to what shall be done in the matter.
