Cheerful Yellow Buds Bid Welcome to Spring
Plentiful so familiar as hardy to be noticed, those tiny blossoms can be seen in the shade and weeble. Wine gardens, have placed the bushes farer walks where they and their laffles but befriend branches at the thongws who drink.
The flies are getting all the pubi-
ley, as usual. But the first love of
spring is the bush which bursts
out with cheerful yellow buds while
the chilly winds still make most pores
anougge down in their colt col-
lure.
These modest flowers are in no danger from vandal hands. No one plucks them for bouquets. Unattended their bids open secondly in the chilly air. Unheralded the first flowers of the season bloom and unregrette they wither and forage. The wind scatter their nets.
No one knows their name unless it be the botanists. More gorgeous blossoms, better known, and more self-assertive, win the hearts of the multitude and the brave yellow buds are forgotten.

W.S.G.A. Depends on Every Woman for Its Strength
Authorities Gave Students Right of Governing Selves Fourteen Years Ago
The success of the women's self-government movement in the University is probably due to the thorough co-operation and support of events organized by women. The time of its founding fourteen years ago, until the present, according to Miss Alberta Corbin, who was chairman of the faculty committee which assisted the women in securing the recognition the right to govern themselves.
At the time of the first agitation on the part of the women for self government, there was no dean of women in the university. In 1910 an appeal was made to some of the women of the faculty by the senior women, regarding the prevailing conditions.
"The University was growing and was becoming quite cosmopolitan," said Miss Corlin, in speaking of the history of the movement. Women were living all over town in unorganized houses. There were no unofficed standard rules for governing their conduct."
Faculty Women Take Lead
A committee of faculty women was appointed, with Miss Corbin as chairman. They interviewed the senior women and found them willing to take part in the government. The seniors agreed to get the opinions of the undergraduate women and sent a committee before the junior women, outlining a tentative plan and asking their support. The students were also in favor of the movement.
A joint committee of junior and senior women then appealed to the sophomores, with the same result, and with the addition of a sophomore committee secured the agreement of the freshman women.
W. S. G. A. Organized in 1911 An appeal was made to the University senate, to the chancellor, and to other authorities of the University to allow the women to be self-governing.
Formal permission was granted them, Nov. 15, 1911, according to the minutes of the senate.
At that time the "Women's Student Government Association" was organized, which was practically the same as the "Women's Self Government Association" of today except for the change in name and one or two changes in the constitution, with some additional offices.
"The movement was not connected with politics any way," said Miss Corbin. "Candidates were nominated by the organization itself. It was a thoroughly democratic organization." To that fact I attribute its success."
in yesterday's Kansan a mistake was made in stating that the request for a change in the date of the Juner Prom came from the offices of the dean of men and the dean of women of engineering. It was from the School of Engineering.
Body Formerly Non-Political
Prom Date Change Due to Engineers' Banque
The work preparatory to the petition to the faculty and senate was extremely thorough. Under the direction of the senior woman, of the university, she asked that year, every woman in the University was personally interviewed, the plan explained, and her suggestions received and considered. That year she corresponded to Miss Corbin, has characterized the movement ever since.
The engineers had planned on having the night of April 17 for their annual banquet, and thought the Prom would draw a large number from the function. It was for this reason that Dean Walker asked the Prom managers to change the date of their party, already arranged for them. The Prom manager, Kevin Kegley had already been authorized, but agreed to fix the date at another time which might be agreeable to Miss Agnes Husband. Dean Husband had planned on an all-university party for April 24, but through her courtesy, the Prom was changed to that date.

France's unfriendlessness to the proposal has caused much unaccomplished here in official circles for two months, an exclusively reported by French newspaper.

Editors of the Kansas City Kanan were greedily surprised Friday when two students of the K. U. department of journalism volunteered their service all "for free for nothin'".
