DON'T NEGLECT AN OP PORTUNITY.
The Kansas University section of the American Amalgamated Association of Knockers, combined with the Society of Gum Shoe Politicians, has come out in opposition to the student council movement. The sterling statesmen included in the above classifications have just made the startling discovery that the University is not ready for a student council. And in their mind the time for a council will never come until they get a chance to draw up the constitution according to their own ideas.
The size of the University, the wonderful possibilities of its future growth, and the strength to be gained from association render the argument that the time is not yet ripe for a student council invalid and ineffectual. A student council is needed, is absolutely necessary. And it is also within the very grasp of the students. The constitution should be adopted at the coming mass meeting even if all the points do not entirely suit all the students. The document can easily be amended at a future date when time is not so precious. Now, with only a few more weeks of school, a continued attempt at amendment may delay final action so long that the council cannot be organized this year. The thing to be done is to get a student council as soon as possible and to leave imperfections in the constitution to be rectified in the future.
It is a custom to say of everything that happens that it is "the best ever" in its line. But without any exaggeration the statement can be made that the Junior Prom this year will be the best prom, ever given at this University. Every single committee has worked hard and long on its part of the work and the biggest social event of the school year has been planned
on a scale not before undertaken. More money has been expended on the farce, on the decorations and on the supper than at former events of the kind. The Junior class should feel a keen sense of pride that they possess men in the class capable of planning and consummating the kind of a prom. that will take place on next Thursday night.
The plan of the faculty to erect a twelve thousand dollar club house for faculty members and down town alumni of universities and colleges is one of prime importance. The faculty should become more intimately acquainted and associated and should take measures to develop closer relations with the students who are just organizing themselves. A more binding union of all the university elements is one of the perquisites to the continued growth and broadening influence of the school.
Notice about Sophomore Prom.
Friday April 30 is the final day for handing in dates to the invitation committee for the sophomore prom. Milton Baer Chairman of the Committee said that he would not receive either a sophomore or a senior date after that time as the invitations are to be sent out May first.
