WEEK NIGHT DATE RULES OFT BROKEN
PROBLEM BECOMING SERI
OUS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1910
Two years ago, when the Women's Council was first organized rules restricting the social life among the students were passed. It was decreed that the girls at the sorority houses would make engagements for only Friday Saturday and Sunday nights, unless the "date" be for a theater or some similar entertainment The girls living at the boarding clubs, in the student sections of the town, agreed to the same rules
A new problem has presented itself for solution by the Women's Student Government association. It is not a problem that has suddenly appeared upon the horizon of student activities, but one which has long been the source of annoyance for those who are making an effort to maintain a normal condition in the social University.
Must Be Solved by Women's Government Association—Several Examples Are Cited.
For a time the Association seemed to be successful in limiting the number of engagements made by the girls and in inducing a greater amount of study. But gradually, one by one, many of the girls have broken over the rules until now there is a woeful lack of conscience over the ignoring of the mandates of the Women's Government association.
It is said that the girls living at both sorority houses and boarding houses, who are desirous of having the rules enforced, are given an endless amount of trouble by the majority of the other girls in the same house ignoring the rules. Many of the girls declare that they can not see why they should be "ruled" by the association. Others claim that it is the boys' fault that they make dates.
Many instances are being pointed out by the girls in sympathy with the no-week-night-date law as violations of the rules. It is also said that many of the more popular society girls have made dates far ahead. One of the most popular from Topeka is known to have a date for every night from this time until Christ mas.
"Where are we coming to, and what can we do to prevent this wanton disregard for our rules," are the questions the Women's Student Government association members are asking themselves.
WHO'LL MEET THE TRAIN?
A Whole Sorority Coming From Nebraska for Football Game.
From University Nebraska.
One of the leading sororities has notified Manager Eager of the athletic department that its members, a majority of them at least, want a special car for the Kansas-Nebraska football game to be played at Lawrence November 5. The sorority does not want its name given out, as circumstances may arise which would prevent carrying out the plan.
From University Nebraskan.
Manager Eager urges that every student who can possibly do accompany the team on the trip to Lawrence. While the rail roads have refused to grant special rates, the manager does not want to see Nebraska outdone by Kanass. Last year Kansas sent up one of the largest delegations of rooters they have ever sent. And there were no special rail road rates.
Miss Bess Stevens, a graduate of last year, who is teaching in the high school at Concordia, visited yesterday at the Pi Phi house.

NO CONTAMINATION IN THE CITY WATER
SUCH IS REPORT OF UNIVER
SITY FACULTY MEMBER.
Samples of Water From Four Districts Tested and Found Pure by Professor Agrelius.
The first official report of the results of the recent analysis of the city water for typhoid germs by members of the University faculty was made public this morning. Four samples of water, taken from as many different parts of town were placed under a bacteriological test by Prof. Frank U. G. Agrelius this week. In no case did he find the presence of the typhoid bacilli, or any indication whatever of any sort of contamination in the water. In his report he declares that the water from the city mains is perfectly safe and may be used for drinking purposes without danger of infection.
The samples of the water were taken from the Eldridge house barber shop, Hunzicker's grocery store, at the corner of Warren and Indiana streets; from the Martindale home, where two cases of typhoid exist; and from a house at 926 Mississippi street. There seemed to be a slight contamination in the sample of water taken from the Hunzicker grocery store, but it is believed by Professor Agrelius to have been caused by the sort of faecet used to draw the water. The contamination, however, was not of the typhoid nature.
"The city water is perfectly safe for drinking purposes," declared Professor Agrelius this morning. "Our tests have been thorough and if there had been any contamination they would have shown it. The University will make other tests later to constantly insure the students against the danger of contracting typhoid."
Debating Council Elects.
At a meeting of the Debating Council, held Thursday afternoon, the following officers were elected: John Harbeson, president; W. M. Hughes, business manager, M. D. Baer recording secretary, and Prof. G. R. Gesol of the public speaking department, corresponding secretary.
The matter of choosing a question to submit to Missouri was also discussed and left to a committee to be reported on at the next meeting.
Prof. W. H. Carruth entertained the members of the German department at dinner Wednesday evening, complimentary to Professor Hohlfeld, of the University of Wisconsin. Others present were Professor Kolldoefer of McPherson College and Professors Becker and Patterson of the University.

Preliminary to his chapel speech yesterday morning, Professor F. N. Scott of the University of Michigan spoke of the sympathetic relations between himself and Professor Bryant when the latter was a student at Michigan. "No commonplace remarks passed between us at ourcas" meetings," said Professor Scott "as Mr. Bryant was always eager to discuss some subject upon which he had been working. Karely have I had a student so willing and so able to reflect my instruction. Professor Bryant's character was distinguished by great intellectual fervor, and he also had a strong emotional side."

SIGMA XI ELECTS.
Four Engineer Students Are Given Membership.
Gathering around a roaring campfire in the valley just north of the engineering building, twenty-five students from Sedgwick county made merry until a late hour last evening. The camp fire not only softened the snappy coldness of the evening, but was utilized in preparing the hearty supper consisting of sandwiches weinerwursts, pickles, apples and marshmallows. Stories were told, songs sung, and yells given. The crowd dispersed after the lop-sided moon rose over Moun Oread.
