Student Council Sends Delegate to Washington
Hower Is Representative of K. U. in Citizens' Committee of One Thousand
In connection with the general work of the "Citizens" Committee of One Thousand" for national law enforcement, a special conference of citizens is to be held at Washington D. C., April 5 and 6, 1924. Ralph M Hower, c25, will represent the Men' Student Council and the Y. M. C. A at the conference, according to E. B. the general secretary of the Y. M. C.
A friend of the University had made it possible through Fred B. Smith, chairman of the "citizen Commission" to $85 of the Kansas representative's traveling expenses to be secured. Stanley Learned, president of the Men's Student Council, through taking a telephone vote of a majority of the council yesterday afternoon, obtained the council B$65 more to represent his
Speakers before the conference, which Hower will attend, will be President Calvin Coolidge, Senator William Borah, Senator Carter Glass, Roy A. Haynes, prohibition commissioner, Mabel Walker Willebradden, assistant U. S. attorney general, Father John A. Ryan, dean of Columbia University, another secondary information which the committee sent Mr. Shultz.
In the information sent the University by Mr. Smith, he points out, "The problem upon the campuses of high schools, colleges and universities is critical. This is true, not because violations are so serious that they constitute a scandal in many places, but rather because there are some violation, more than there are others, with children more of disorder in the nation have created a condition among students which demands the special type of 'Citizen Appeal' which the committee is advocating."
"The Committee of One Thousand holds that students have been singled out by the liquor interests as their special representatives in the future. It is partly to combat the move of those once to be held," said Mr. Shultz.
"The conference will give special attention to the issue of laxness as indicated in the violation of the treaty by the United States forcing acts. But it will also fully consider and discuss the thoroughgoing awakening of the nation to the necessity of fundamental right-earnestness and to orderly methods of government."
The Mon's Glee Club will not hold its regular Wednesday night rehearsal this week. The next rehearsal is on April 28, B-T- A. Larrone爵室, April 1.

THE TRUTH
Grade The Profs!!!
The old Rock Chalk is world famous. Let's make K. U. world famous for progressive democracy.
famous. Let's make K. U. work famous for progressive democracy. Above, the professor the prior, yesterday Professor F. Ellis Johnson said: "That suggestion offers a wonderful opportunity for a constructive piece of work on K. U. campus. Suggestions from the students for self-improvement by the professor would be inward and am heartily in favor of a show."
Exactly. Professor Johnson went to the heart of the matter when he said "constructive."
The plan is constructive because it would improve instructional service by stimulating professors to think critically about the content and methods of their courses. Supporting summary was made and sent to each prof such student suggestions as the following would appear:
"Professor ——'s use of discussion and project group method to be commended."
Or
Or
"Professor —'s use of bombing lecture expeditions on students effective. Yes, we want facts, but we also want to learn to think."
We submit that the fair minded professor, who is interested in the continuous improvement of his work, would welcome the opportunity to teach our students. After all, why shouldn't professors desire student opinion. Education is a co-operative task. The largest and most permanent educational results under conditions of maximum give a task between students and faculty.
"Handwriting improvement is for a business college. Must notebook work required by Prof. — has no permanent value."
When such well known profs as Professors Engle, W. W. Davis, F. Ellis Johnson, and Sandelius have registered approval, we can be certain that we will find the faculty in sympathetic co-operation.
We have further indicated in yesterday's article that the plan as suggested would tend to improve campus scholarship by focusing at specific values. Think of it: four thousand students ca. K. U. Hill, each student facing such questions as: "Just what value was that course taken under?" "What did you use or method of this course has helped me most." "Does the proft treat u
gullible children or as creative thinkers. "How might the pron make his work more powerful in its grip on students."
It is impossible to predict the far reaching effects which such a procedure would have on student thought life. By the way, ye sons of Kansai, what'll you bet? K. U. Kansai, don't forget that pioneer efforts in the cause of better education, and many a campus will follow our lead.
We have submitted that grading of profs would result in the most permanent and far reaching benefits to K. U. campus.
Once again, we ask, Is it not and proper that we should give honor where honor is due? It's only the superficial thinker who could hold that students would give all flanks. Such students should observe carefully the sporting spirit of K. U. on the old gridiron. You students lose faith in their own sporting fairness so you can turn to an instrument and have inscribed on rockchalk monument: "Here lies an ambitious scholar. He sourced on the world, lost faith in himself, and died of indignation."
"Fair play," the great American slogan would insure every professor justice. We ask again, "Why should not students have the opportunity of giving honor where honor is due, thereby encouraging that type of professional efforts which students find helpful."
If the reasons for these facts are not yet clear, back over the last two articles on "Grade the Profs." See if you agree. We are not trying to put something across. We are not reacting to a reaction, not an emotional reaction.
3. It would give honor where honor is due, thus encouraging a helpful type of professorial effort.
2. It would improve campus scholarship.
1. It would improve instructional service.
Now let us all sing together:
We are not geese and goosings to
All aboard. On with the election. May the best men win.
quack when paja quacks.
But rather we in jolly glee will grade
the profs, by lacks.

Cheerleader
There is no need for us to say anything further on our candidates for cheerleader. If there was any doubt as to the ability of Roy Raynolds to lead a team against the Black Mask meeting last night. Shades of "Ham" and of "Sandy." If ever there was a better prospect for a real cheerleander we cannot read the signs aright. Does he have the stuff? Ask anyone who has been in action. Raynolds for cheerleaders! Let Go Kansas.
BLACK MASK
Grade the Profs
The issues of the election are the important item. What are the candidates going to do when they are elected? Are they going back into the same old rut and stay there? We of the Black Mack party certainly hope it will n't. There are quite a few candidates who are questioned to morrow. How will you stand on the vital points?
The Issues of the Election
We have stated our case. Our platform has been announced and discussed. There is no need for further talk of the candidates.
 Their qualifications have been stated.
You know every man on our ticket,
you know every woman on our ticket,
that each and every one of them is capable of filling the position for which they are running.
The Point System
This is a serious matter that we have incorporated in our platform with a purpose. We intend to see that it is given a fair trial on the hill. If you elect our men to the council, Do you want it to have a trial? Prove it tomorrow at theells.
The council has approved the point system. The athletes of the school have approved it. What stand do you take? Be sure that you express your opinion at the polls toorrow. We favor the principle behind the point system. We feel that the system will work for the university and not for University if it is given a fair chance Express your opinion to-morrow.
Have You Thought?
We hope that our campaign has been clean. We have endeavored in every way to stand for Clean Progressive Politics. If we have offended anyone by anything we have said or done, we do not know what will be made especial efforts to be considerate of other people and their ideas.
People, we are going to present some more facts for your approval. Tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. we shall decide whether this campus is ready to put in office the type of men who have taken the time to outline a constructive program. Black Mask has announced a plateau of individuals are needed to put their best efforts to the task of carrying out these ideas, and now we ask your help in making it possible.
This is probably the fast time the Black Mask party shall have anything to say about the election until the report of the campaign expenses has been submitted. If the student body is ready for the progressive forward looking program
Let us unite to make student government a reality and a living truth on our campus.
that we have outlined, we hope they will take enough interest in these matters to vote to-morrow.
There will be a time when the whole school will be able to point with pride to the fact that we have the honor system. We are in favor of it. We think it will have to come gradually.
The system can be started in the engineering school in the same way that it has already been worked out successfully in the law school. When fully established there, it could be extended to the other organized schools. We can extend this a way of putting it across. Help our candidates to find the solution.
Remember the Jayhawk candidates. They were all introduced at the Black Mask meeting last night. They are all good men, and any of the boys will be capable of editing and managing a good animal next to them. You can select from the four and select them on their qualifications for the office.
If you choose to elect our candidates there will be new things done in student politics on Mount Oren. We have fought a clean fight, we have run a fair race. With the following statement of our hopes for tomorrow we close our advertising campaign.
We would like to thank all those students who helped us in forming the platform on which the candidates were taught. We went through the many suggestions from the student body at large that we were able to make our selection of candidates so effective. The sturdy leadership of the leaders, and we have endorsed them.
we hope that the time has come when party will mean very little unless the party stands for something definite and constructive. There is no point in reciting the qualifications of a candidate if he has nothing to prove. We hope the time has come when the whole trend of student affairs is toward the goal which we have set for Black Mask this year. That goal is, "to secure for the University the best possible men for office, in order that the affairs of student life may ever improve, and that we continue to grow and to prepare our students for an effective service after we graduate."
With this our campaign ends.
Register your vote tomorrow. We rest our cause for your approval.
