Constitution Amended Giving Representation to Schools on Council
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1925
Student Government Discussed by 'Men at Mass Meeting Last Night
The constitution of the associated men of the University of Kansas was amended so that the School of Business should have at least one representative on the student council, at a mass meeting Thursday evening in Green hall. The taking over of disciplinary matters by the student council was discussed.
In the discussion concerning the taking over of disciplinary powers, opinions were presented in both sides. The meeting was in favor of student government of some kind. The other side would oppose to take it over and others desired that the students take over the entire matter of discipline, including the police power. From the opinions given; there seemed to be somewhat of a feeling that if the council took over the power as it is now, the University authorities would have so much more control over it that little be more than a figurehead.
One opinion was given that the students were not capable of self-government, or that it was not practicable. Wallace James, president of the Men's Student Council, stated that affairs are controlled by the student at the University of Texas, and at Carnegie Institute of Technology.
When the mass meeting adjourned there were not enough members of the committee for a quorum so that no official statement was transacted. Wallace James announced that there would be a special meeting at 9 p.m. Tuesday, March 31.

Student Petition Asks Exemption From Finals for A and B Seniors
Movement Receives Support of Sachem and Class
Officers
A petition is being circulated among members of the senior class who are enrolled in the College to ask that they be called in classes in the College be exempt their last semester in school from final examinations in those courses in which they are required to take the time of the final examinations. The petition will be presented to the faculty of the College some time in the immediate future.
The members of Sichuan at their meeting Thursday evening endorsed the petition by a unanimous vote. The petition was to have been presented for its approval at its regular meeting last night but the Council could take no official action on it due to the fact that the president and secretary of the council stated that they were heartily in accord with the petition, and also felt that the members of the council would support it at their next regular meeting.
This is not the first time that the seniors have petitioned the faculty for exemption from finals. It seems that in past years there has been considerable agitation for the exemption from finals. The faculty did "B" grades during their last semester, but the faculty has never taken favorable action on the matter.
The officers of the senior class have likewise given the petition their support.

The department does these things through the weekly analysis of city water samplers, collection and various bottled water and, co-operates with both state and city officials in the building and planning of public improvements in the city. This work must be approved by the state engineer. As yet there are many unresolved problems in the disposal of municipal salt and other industrial waters.
Many of the diseases that infest society today are waterborne and special precautions have to be taken in a state such as Kansas that must obtain most of its water from surface sources. Nearly 50 per cent of water is sucked into safety dangers carried in water from surface sources.
