A Backfire Into Pokey
ASC Hauled Off to Jail In 1914 for Tacking Signs
Forty-four years ago, everyone on the All Student Council was hauled off to jail after the editor of The Daily Kansan, John Madden, got the police to swear out warrants for their arrest.
The mass arrests started because the ASC was tacking up dance posters on telephone poles a clear violation of a Lawrence ordinance.
The whole thing began when the ASC, refusing to advertise in the Kansan, chose to use the signs instead.
The idea backfired for Madden though. Being a member of the ASC as well as the Kansan Board, he was

Patric Little, Wichita senior and ASC chairman, said the statements of intention may be turned in at the ASC office in the Kansas Union.
Under a new constitutional amendment, the student must first submit his statement and then attend all the ASC meetings between Dec. 2 and the spring elections. The prospective candidate also must be available for committee work.

The March 5, 1914 University Daily Kansan headline reports: "Trial set for Saturday; Chief of Police Myers says violations of law is no joke—faculty interested."
"This is no joke," declared E. E. Myers, chief-of-police this afternoon. "We are not going to fool with the students. I would advise all members to appear in court Saturday of their own volition."
The Kansan continues;
"Following a general arrest of the Men's Student Council at the Student Union building last night, Randolph Kennedy and Frank Miller appeared before Judge Harleigh Benson in police court at 8:30 this morning and pleaded not guilty. The other members of the council disregarded the summons.
The warrant for the arrest of Madden read:
"You are therefore commanded, forthwith, to arrest the said John Madden and bring him before me at my office, in the said city, this fourth day of March, A. D., 1914, to answer said charge, and then and there return this writ."
"Whereas complaint in writing.
under oath, has been made to me, and it appearing that there are reasonable grounds for believing that on or about the twenty-fourth day of February, A. D. 1914, in the city of Lawrence in Douglas County and State of Kansas, one John Madden then and there being, did then and there unlawfully post or cause to be posted upon divers trees, posts, and telephone poles on Adams street certain cards advertising a dance to be given at F. A. A. hall.
No one could ever find Madden and the rest of the members of the ASC never showed up in court. Finally the long arm of the law grew shorter and everyone forgot the entire matter.
