THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Vol XXI
Delegates Return From Conference at Knoxville, Tenn
No. 169.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 6. 1924.
More Than Fifty Delegate From 18 States Attend; Next Meeting at Manhattan
Stanley Learned, e24, and Wallace James, e25, returned yesterday from Knoville, Tenn., where they reponsed the University at the fourth annual Midwest Conference of Colleges and Universities, May 1, 2013; conference was attended by 56 delegates from 28 schools in 18 states.
Schools represented Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indiana, Iowa, Notre Dame, Paris due, Penn State, Tulane, Miami, Illinois, NC State, Angela, Northern Erie, Carnegie Institute of Technology, and others.
Major Problem Discussed
The major problems that present
themselves on every campus were
brought up and discussed, according
to Learned. Discussion in which
k. U., representatives were especially
involved, included the choice of
cheerleader, publications, the honor
system, the blanket tax and the general
problems of student government.
The only definite action taken by the conference was a resolution in which almost the entire body put itself on record as being opposed to compulsory enforcement of an honor code, did favor, however, an honor code.
Honor System a Failure
"The honor system was generally declared a failure by the majority of the delegates," said Learned Dean. Dean instructed speakers at the conference, expressed the belief that the honor system would succeed only as a tradition, and then only when the student body is of a homogeneous character, is of an entirely "offense," and is small.
The subject of the election of cheerleaders was brought up by the K. U. delegates. At Michigan Chippewa Valley High School, and other several school the cheerleader is elected by the men's student council subject in most cases to the approval of the athletic board. A vote on the election was found to be a failure.
R.O.T.C. CandidatesNamed
Next year's conference will be held in Kansas State Agricultural College. The governor, senior year leader is president, True D Morse of Missouri; vice-president Dodson of Tennessee; secretary treasurer, Countryman of North Dakota.
Direcest Election of Cheerleaders
Some universities elect through the
cheerleading society the 'bond'
faint favor. The best method
seems to be some kind of selection
from a group of upper classman who
have been trained in their first years in college.
Senior Members Select Three for Honorary Colonel
The three candidates for honorary colonel as selected by the seniors in the R. O, T. C., were announced by the department of military science and tactics this morning. They are Mary Lois Ruppenthal, c'25; Mariana Gage, c'25; and Elizabeth Sifers, fc'25.
The reason that the members of the R. O. T. C. are voting for honorary college this spring instead of waiting until fall and having the students participate in annual fall election, is so that she may secure her uniform during the summer and be ready to assume her duties when school begins next fall, according to Ma]. E. W. Turner, professor of military science and tactics.
The entire battalion will vote on them at drill Wednesday afternoon. May 7. The candidates have been selected for the unit to be present at the drill.
Mendenhall Speaks Thursday
Dr. W. O. Mendenhall, president of
Oriental University at Wichita, will
address the University convocation
Thursday, May 8, in Robinson gymnastium. He will speak on "Relief to the Striken Part of Europe." Dr. Mendenhall has studied and spoken in behalf of the Neue East many times.

Jayhawker Track Team Faces Hard Dual Meet May 8
Nebraska Holds Advantage in Annual Dual Classis Over Kansas Athletes
One of the hardest dual meets the Kansas team track has is with Nebraska Thursday afternoon, May 5. The two teams meet in a double meet the Katsua team this year. Three places count in this meet instead of the usual two and Nebraska is doped to win by about one game, but not the final results by any means.
Locke, spinter, and Wir, hurrier,
are the two outstanding men on the
Nebraska team. Locke should take
first in both of the firsts, as Fisher
will not be able to run in the dushes
Thursday. Weir looks to be sure win-
ning. Weir may lose low hurdles, but
Graham may upset and take a
first in one of them.
Firebaugh Doped to Win 440
Captain Firebaugh should win the question of who gets the most points, is almost a sure winner in the half mile. Nebraska, according to dope, should win most of the track events. The quarter-mile is the only event where the winner will be.
In the field events, Kansas has a slight advantage. In the high jump, Poor should beat Torner, and Graham is holding the edge in the broad jump. In the weights, dope points to a Nebraska victory. Smith will likely take a first in the javelin for Kansas.
Kansas Strong in Relay
In the mile relay Kansas is the stronger. If the mnet beet should devote the Jawahary to the Jayhawkers would be victorious.

New Pan-Hellenic Rules for Rushing Planned by Council
Preferential Bidding Will Be Employed by Sororities Beginning Next September
The constitution, rushing rules, and uniform date cards for next fall's rushing will be off the press within a few days, according to Constance Ingalls, c'26, president of Women's Pan-Hellenic Council.
At the regular meeting of Parriciclone Council, which was held yesterday afternoon, a committee report on rushing rules was accepted and the details of preferential bidding were planned.
New Form Given Consideration
The new form of bidding and of rushing has been adopted after careful consideration of the plans being discussed in other universities, and after discussion in each of the fraternities.
As in previous years, rush week will start on Sunday afternoon, with teas at all of the houses. Before the tea, at 12 p.m., m. on Sunday, all guests will join us for the first time will meet Dean Agnes Husband in Myers hall. She will explain to them the meaning of fraternities, the average cost, and something of their ideals. Parties will begin from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday evening. Thursday and Friday will be known as days of silence.
Not later than Thursday noon, all new women will go to Myers hall and write their preferences. Like-weise, each fraternity will make out lists of the women whom it wishes to become members. The lists of choices and of preferences will go to a third party who maintains records of the women. Not later than Friday noon the students invitations to the fraternity will be sent out. Pledging takes place at 5:00 Friday afternoon.
Rushing to Be Open
"The special feature of preferential bidding," Miss Ingalls said today, "is that rushing is to be open. Fraternity women may tell the men in their groups, but they are not allowed to invite any woman to become a member."
"The new women are to be under no strain." Miss Inglis added. "Each woman is free to put down his shirt, or course no one can put down her shirt." Fraternity in which she could not give her whole hearted support." Exclusive parties, the parties for which each fraternity had exclusive rights to enter and leave, are to be abolished this next year. In all ways, preferential bidding is expected to lessen the cost of rushing. For any violations of rushing severe penalties, including the forfeiture a day of rushing, will be imposed.
Will Not Rush H. S. Girls
In addition to the adoption of pre-erential bidding, Pan-Hellenic College has decided to abolish rushing of high school girls while they are still in school. This will mean that next year, no fraternities will hold parties, and likewise that local high school girls will not be rushed.
"I feel that preferential bidding will lead a dignity to rashing which it has never had before," said Dean Agnes Hughes today.
According to Betty Marris, chairman of the committee in charge of the date cards, they will be ready for distribution within a short time. Uniform cards will be sent out by every fraternity.
