THE NEED OF A GIRLS'
DORMITORY
A move has been begun by the Federation of Womens' Clubs of Kansas to build a dormitory at the University for the occupancy of girls who are not members of a recognized organization. Such a move should meet with the hearty sanction of people all over the state. If there is one thing that Kansas needs it is a dormitory for girls. Dormitories for a large part of the student body could be used but there seems to be a pressing necessity for a home for a large number of girls attending the University. When a girl comes to the University and does not join a sorority, or has no friends or relatives in school she is almost entirely without social connections. Now in the case of the men in the University this is not such a serious thing but with the girls of the institution, for obvious reasons, it is a very serious social problem. The men of the University go out and make their own coterie of friends but not so with the girls. Now dormitories would serve as a central place around which could be formed a college community society that could possess most of the advantages to be found in a fraternity house. At the University of Missouri there is a girls' dormitory that is very popular and most of the girls who do not belong to sororities live in this hall. The University of Kansas owes it to itself and the girls of Kansas who are seeking a higher education to help the good women of Kansas in every way to further their worthy project. The people of Kansas owe it to themselves and the coming women of Kansas to give every encouragement to the Federation of Womens' Clubs in their effort to improve conditions that we here, who are accustomed to seeing them are prone to overlook.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
In a scurrilous article which tries to slander and misrepresent the entire student body under pretext of abusing a handful of students who attended the performance in the Bowersock fire trap Friday night the Lawrence Journal, the same Journal that last year chased itself back in its hole, has almost a column diatribe devoted to what it calls the disgraceful conduct of the students in the gallery. The article in the part that relates to the students is a mixture of falsehoods, cowardly insinuations and is about such as past experience would lead us to expect from the paper that Brady is reputed to be the editor of.

One of the sororities which is very conscientious in observing the rules to deny callers on week nights has made a reservation in the rule that in case there was a good play at the opera house the rules on and during said night upon which

With a few more reservations, such as going to the library,the rules will cease to be an inconvenience to those with two hearts beating as one etc.,as it goes.
There may have been a few lovers of aquatic sports who felt a little sore when the fall regatta failed to materialize, but Saturday's football game was surely all that they could have asked in their line of athletics.
It is only in the last two or three days that it has come to light that for a number of years two sororities have had rules prohibiting callers except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. ___
