UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
HERE'S A NEW PLAN FOR STUDENT COUNCIL
At Washington Undergraduates Choose Coach, Manage Bookstore—and Successfully
Believing that some change in the student government at the University is inevitable students have investigated plans employed at other schools with the idea of offering some substitute for the scheme in use here.
One of the most successful student governing bodies in any American college is that at the University of Washington, where the Associated Students control and direct every student including athletics and publishing.
The official title of the organization is the Associated Students of the University of Washington. Any student becomes a member upon the payment of a fee not exceeding five dollars which entitles him to a subscription to the Washington Daily and admission to all athletic events.
The executive branch is found in the Board of Control, which consists of three alumni, three members of the faculty, a president, vice-president, secretary, two academics, two junior, and one sophomore. The three alumni members are appointed, one by the president of the Board, another by the president of the university, and a third by the president of the alumni association the student chairman of the chairman of the athletics committee, the chairman of the student interests committee, and one appointed by the president of the university. The student members are elected by the A. S. U. W., and are responsible to them, either through a peachment, or to be voted upon when a petition is presented containing the names of 25 per cent of the electors.
The Board of Control, through four committees—finance, athletics, publication and student interests—directs all athletics, including the selection of coach, the cooperative director, and Daily. The Board likewise elects the editor and the manager of the bookstore, and a general manager. Each of these officers receive a nominal salary, which is responsible to the Board through a bond, and subject to removal at any time for good cause.
Advocates of the Washington system point to the responsibility of the Board of Control to the students, and of the active officers of the A. S. U. W. to the Board as one of its key responsibilities. The Council is legally irresponsible. Another point urged in favor of the athlete is the student control of the athletes and the absence of student discipline. The plan at Washington has proved highly satisfactory, since it has not lost a game in football team games, nor not lost a game in other times. And the Association has had at times $10,000 or $12,000 or band.
DOWN-TOWN GOSSIP FROM THE STORES
"The use of cloth tops in the manufacture of shoes," said Otto Fischer, owner of the Fischer Shoe Store, this morning, "marks an important step in the shoe manufacturing process." The cloth tops he men have faced the ever-present problem of a shortage in leather and the increase of price in high grade shoes, as well as the decrease in quality of priced shoes. The problem is indubitably related to his condition. However the use of cloth tops in shoe making promises to do away with this difficulty and give the customer better shoes for less money. Cloth tops are more durable than the average leather top and the effect is decidely nobby and stylish."
The unusual amount of leather used by the European countries in providing heavy shoes for their soldier and in making harness and saddles for the horses which are an essential part of the vast armor worn by all naval triple alliance, has caused American shoe manufacturers to exert every effort to get something that will take the place of leather. One of the newest producers on the shoe market is a book called Sharp and chopped leather. It is a good product according to the buyer at Starkweather's shoe store.
Allie Carroll received a supply of tennis balls this morning. They were the last ones that the wholesaler had on hand. Heretofore five per cent of the ball was imported from Germany. They were then imported and covered in America. On account of the war the supply has been cut more than a half and this summer tennis balls will be very hard to obtain. Asked by a client, Mr. Carroll says that he expects it to take a jump at most any time.
The warm spring weather is breaking up the meetings of the Senate, which has held forth all winter in
the lounging room at Griggs'. About everything under the sun has been discussed at the meetings during the long winter evenings under the moon. Tony James, Harry Nevin, Jay Bond, Coach McCarty, and other orators.
The process of making Stetson hats is well illustrated in a window display at the Pockham Writing Center for the trimming. Reid is responsible for the trimming. From the time the wool is made into felt, through the stages of shaping, shrinking, pulling and finishing, the wool is then finished hat—all the steps are to be known by examples of materials.
Do you know the U. S. army rules for displaying the flag? its use and its forbidible use? The Daughters of the American Revolution have prepared and printed cards which answer these questions, with a beautiful picture of our flag. These cards, size 9 by 12 inches, may be obtained at the Indian Store, framed and ready to be bung on your wall.
The big bank ledgers cannot impart the terror they once did to the University man who was supposedly an expert in quick addition and subtraction. The ledgers are now posted by a machine which will both add and subtract. The Merchants' National Bank is the first bank in Lawrence to adopt the new system at a cost of over nine hundred dollars.
"University girls apparently are satisfied with the complexions which the mild breezes of the prairie and the gentle sunshine have bestowed upon them," declares St. Mark's at 1101 Mass. St. "The girls spend very little money for cosmetics. They are satisfied with plain talcums and creams."
Did you ever notice the big baldheaded jolly six footer in the Round Corner drug store? Bob Iych who is one of the proprietors of an old K. U. man. Recently the stock has been enlarged, new show cases put in, and other improvements have completely changed the appearance of the store.
Did you know that you need not buy rubbers to keep your feet dry on wet days? Mr. Forney, the shoe-maker, sells a solution called "Dry-Foot" which he says will keep water from soaking through your shoes, and without showing on the leather, which it really preserves.
The ordinary Mazda light bulb is about 40 watt, F. W.贝恩 an electrician on Massachusetts street has several bulbs of 500 watt power. These large bulbs are easily broken and to prevent breakage they are wrapped in a heavy cloth and put in an individual carton.
The students who expect to stay to Summer School and who know from personal experience that "the coolest spot in Kansas" is not very cool, need not worry about the hot summer if they just invest or persuade their landlady to invest in one of Kennedy's electric fans.
The average stock of magazines at a news stand may not look like much of an investment, but it doesn't take much of a pile to run into a considerable sum of money. Griggs' stock when he took an inventory the first of January, showed a total of 1037 magazines, worth about 8110 wholesale.
The study table of the average student is not a model of efficiency. The University Book Store has many time-saving and efficient books, so that it might behove some of us who are complaining about time to investigate.
"That's it, concentration." Mr. Jadeicke, the hardware man, always has some one thing as a specialty for the week. He hammers that one thing home through his window display. This week it's dispans.
A late model of the German submarine, in the shape of a huge, rough, unshrapely cigar of very good quality, made its appearance at Reynolds Bronx.
The senior laws are largely responsible for the complete stock of canes in hand at Ober's, for scarcely any one else in town buys canes.
The wind whistles and sings through the cracks in the Fine Arts building but an unheeding legislature heard it not. It became imperative for something to be done. March breezes were blowing within the building as well as without. And now a new collection of artworks tries and fries the walls of the old building and help to out the envy a little.
