University Daily Kansan Wednesday, March 27, 1957
Editor:
After reading Mr. Lawton's letter of clarification appearing in Monday's Daily I Kansan, we feel that further clarification is needed.
In his letter Mr. Lawton has lifted several phrases out of context from the proposed bill and neglected to interpret accurately the whole meaning of the bill. What he suggested was a possibility of what the University could do if its interpretation of the bill is correct.
Mr. Lawton says in his letter " . . These contents then could provide for the Student Court, fees for the misuse of parking areas, and impounding of vehicles in certain instances, etc. . ."
Section 7 says "any person, firm, or corporation who shall violate any provision of this act or any rule or regulation made thereunder shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty-five dollars ($25).
Section 8 of this bill goes on to state: "All prosecution for violation of this act shall be brought in a court in the county where the violation occurred which has jurisdiction of misdeemans committed in said county, and said court shall proceed in such cases as it would in any other criminal matter over which it has jurisdiction . . ."
Mr. Lawton, in his letter, leaves the impression that the language of the bill is merely discretionary. We submit that the repeated and continued use of the word "shall" implies mandatory action.
This would leave no room for discretion on the part of the University. There is considerable legal authority to support such a view as to the mandatory nature of sections 7 and 8 of Senate Bill 250.

Our good friend Elrod rushed to our desk this morning quite breathless.
"Why do you rush to us breathless this morning, Erod?" we queried.
"I am going to be a star, a star, a star!" he panted.
"A what?"
"A movie star.
I have just been auditioned by a genuine talent scout from Hollywood, and I was told that I could be another Clarence Klugl. Oh joy, oh bliss!"
"That's fine, Elrod," we murmured, "but who is Clarence Klugel?"
Dawson
"Oh pshaw," quot Elrod, "I forgot to ask. But I have been promised a screen test after only six months of gracious living and polishing up my boundless acting possibilities."
"But no," quoth he, his grubby hands trembling with emotion learned, no doubt, from "A Guide to Acting." "I can see my name in lights. 'Elrod plus many others in the most sensational, fabulous, stupendous production since 'Svengali'." My name will be legion.
"Don't you think that perhaps you are a bit over-enthusiastic, Elrod?" we interjected, Elrod not being the Barrymore type.
"Elrod Legion?" we murmured,
somewhat facetiously.
"Get thee to a nunnery!" said Elrod, grabbing his portfolio of Eilrod pictures and hastening off to buy some sunglasses.
We are reminded that only six weeks of classes remain after spring vacation. If the current cold weather holds out many more weeks, the panty raiders will be forced to take up some other activity to prove that there will always be a college student.
Some of our partners in crime were rather chagrined to learn that, despite our long tenure as a western Kansas, we have never eaten dog food in a blizzard.

What's Wrong With The ASC?
A muffled hurrah for the All Student Council.
Plagued by absentees and members absenting themselves during Tuesday night's meeting for various reasons, the ASC passed "the seat saving" bill which we submit is good legislation.
Unfortunately good legislation in the ASC is too infrequent. Surely he will be wearing on the letter part of April.
Campus elections will be coming up the latter part of April. It is incumbent therefore on all students to be thinking NOW in terms of what kind of Council will serve us best.
We take a dim view of those ASC members who ran for office only because it was "another activity."
An informed source tells us that most members now on the Council are appointees taking the place of those elected members who lost interest and refused to come to meetings.
This is not good.
The ASC is scheduled to meet regularly every two weeks. Because of conflicts it sometimes does not meet as often as scheduled, and seldom, if ever, more frequently.
The present Council could meet once a month and get just as much done. But, given a good Council, this would not be in the best interests of good student government.
Reason: Campus life is not static, and in order to stay "on top" of problems which arise the Council must meet as frequently as possbile.
In short, a once-in-a-while All Student Council is no council at all. —Jerry Dawson
A Large Bouquet-
Our Team Is Tops!
Congratulations to one of history's greatest basketball teams that of the KU Javhawks!
We are proud of the men who played like champions all through the season and never once let down.
Nationwide attention has been focused on the University because of its team. The nation shall not soon forget the sportsmanship and great heart with which the University of Kansas Javhawkers played.
Coach Dick Harp has proved his ability, for his men have shown they know the true meaning of teamwork. Watching five men work together as one unit, making one split-second decision after another—the right decisions—is a remarkable experience and a privilege.
We are proud of the entire team.
In a game which might have gone either way, our team played as champions and were beaten by champions. To be beaten by one point is decisive only as a technicality.
An example of the personality which guided the Jayhawkers through an outstanding season was expressed when Coach Harp was asked how he felt after the game with North Carolina. He replied: "I feel like I've gone through the NCAA championship game in three overtimes and lost."
To us it's a championship team, one which will be remembered with pride.
Congratulations!
Spring Fever:
A Villain?
Spring fever gets the blame for lots of things now that spring is officially here. If you fail an important test, you can blame spring fever. If you don't get your assignments in on time, you can chalk it up to spring fever.
Just what is spring fever? Webster says it's "the lazy, listless feeling which comes to a person with the first warm days of spring." To most people it is an unwillingness to have anything to do with work.
—Jim Tice
Is spring fever really a disease" or is it just a "whipping boy" to make up for feeling lazy? Whichever it is, spring fever is here to stay, and—oh, well, what's the use! It's a good excuse, isn't it?
Such things as baseball, rides in convertibles, picnics, warm temperatures and an occasional western Kansas snow storm go hand in hand with spring fever and make it harder to bear. The beautiful weather makes books seem like the driest things on earth; the professors' voices drone on and on; life seems to stand still, and you feel like sleeping for hours and never waking up.
At vernal equinox, the noontime sun passes directly above the equator; day and night are equal the world over. As, the tilted earth swings around the sun, light falls more and more on the northern areas, giving longer and warmer spring days.

Yemen, a squarish patch of land in the southwest corner of the Arabian peninsula, has few nomad herdsmen like those roaming the broad deserts of next-door Saudi Arabia, says the National Geographic Society.
