A. today. "It depends upon a two-thirds favorable vote of all the women of the University and each woman should take it upon herself to
Only by a two-thirds vote of all the women students can this proposition go over.

DISCIPLINARY BOARD SAYS POWER VANISHEI

The resignation of the Discipinary Committee at the special session of the University Senate Tuesday afternoon was for only one reason, D. L. Patterson, chairman of the committee, to "The Discipinary Committee of the University Senate, as formerly constituted, in full membership, no longer exists. It has finished its business and closed up its books. All members of the instructional force are required to receive reports of cases having to do with dishonest work in the classroom or with violations of the Senate's regulations in regard to dancing or other social affairs, or any other breaches of discipline. This notification is not intended for time in reporting cases to the former chairman of the committee and is made necessary because many members of the instructional force are not members of the Senate and are not in a position to know that the primary Committee is no longer n
"The Disciplinary Committee resigns for one reason and for one reason only. Its members felt that the Senate by withdrawing a large part of its jurisdiction from it one week after the election improved its usulness and influence."
The Senate spent the entire period of the session in discussions. No action was taken on the resignation of the chair, and apparently it was the policy of the Senate to take no action on phases of discipline until the special committee of students and faculty, headed by the college教授, reports the results of its efforts.

Joe. Schwarz, Cheerleader, is Negotiating with Union Pacific for Five Cars
EXTRA TRAIN MAY RUN TO TOPEKA SATURDAY
Much Red Tape Necessary
Idea Is to Get Students Back Ir Time for Social Function Saturday Night
The possibility of a special train to the Washburn game Saturday looms strong today, according to Dr. F. C. Allen, Director of Athletics. A special train would be to give students back to Lawrence in time for the championship that will take place on that night. Joe Swartz, cheerleader, is now negotiating with the Union Pacific for a train of five cars but owing to the large amount of red tape necessary for the detailing of the cars no definite announcement can be made.

The game Saturday will be no walkaway as everyone concedes that Washburn has a better team than the Emporia Normals. Coach Leon McCarty is putting the team through some tough scrimmage this week in preparation to enable them to withstand some of the heavy men on the Washburn team.

A committee composed of faculty members and students appointed by Chancellor Strong "to work out a plan under which these powers may be taken over by the students seems to favor turning the jurisdiction in such matters over to the Men's Student Council. The students have long been expected to play an important role, but are not known, except in a general way, either by the Student Council, or by the individual students serving on the committee.
DO THE STUDENTS WANT A PART IN THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT?
In order to learn student opinion in the matter the Chancellor's committee has asked The Daily Kansasan to help find out what the students of the University really want in the way of self-government. The Kansasan has agreed to do this, and will place a box near the bulletin board to receive suggestions regarding the part the students should exercise in handling their own affairs.
The University Senate has signified its willingness to turn over to the students those matters which are strictly student affairs. This will include the establishment of student traditions, and methods for their enforcement, and the conduct of rallies and parades, together with other privileges, the senate may see fit to confer.
Every student in the University is requested by the Chancellor's committee to write his opinions and drop them into the box. All suggestions must be signed as an evidence of good faith. Some of the best suggestions in all probability will be published in the manuscript in the following manner: If a suggestion is presented for publication in the suggestions, when such suggestions are printed in the Kansas, but this will not be done if a request is made that the name be withheld.
Students reading this notice should remember that this is an affair which vitally concerns them, and take a part in helping form plans for their own government.

STUDENTS TO DIRECT IN OWN GOVERNMENT
Students May Turn in Suggestions to the Committee Concerning what They Want
Council to Have Power
Establishment and Enforcement
Of Traditions Come
Under Powers
If plans being made by the committee appointed by the Chancellor work out, the University Senate will turn over to the Men's Student Council all control of strictly student affairs, including the establishment of student facilities, and methods of enforcing rules and other policies, and any other things the Senate may see fit to confer, provided the students will back Student Council in the enforcement of such rules and regulations which may be worked out. Hereafter the Student Council has only made rules and has not had power to enforce them. The students years ago relinquished its power. It will be the duty of every student to back its own government if the powers are turned over to it, for the students must enforce along with the right to make rules. Since the Student Council several years ago turned over to the men students have not felt that they have had enough voice in their own government. Although the Council as present has no power, it has been expected to control the men students of the University. Now the proposition is to return the certain powers to the Council so that they can do what they should; the students are also asked as to what they want.
In order to get the opinion of the majority of the students as to what they want in the way of powers, every student will be given a chance to suggest what he thinks the students are and how he wants to enforce it. These suggestions must be given by Saturday, October 18. They may be handed to any members of the committee, who are: George Montgomery, Frank Terrrell, Rudolph Uhlbrau, John Monteith, John Kinkel, Howard Fleisson, Ralph Rochek, Glenn Banker, Tad Rel, Marvin Harms, and Warren Crombie. All these suggestions to their suggestions to the Kansas office, or they may drop them in the ballet box to be set out near the bulletin board between the Museum and Green Hall. All suggestions must be signed. When these suggestions are turned in, they will be taken up by the committee, and finally all changes will be made. The Student Council, provided that the committee decides the Council will handle them.
The powers which will be turned over to the students will be problems that concern only students, and does not do away with the disciplinary committee of the Senate which will handle affairs that cannot come under the control of the teachers. The all students should confine their suggestions to such things as belong to the students, and also that the students will be willing to enforce.
