THE TOOT MANIFESTO IS EFFECTIVE TODAY
"If Instructor Isn't Through Get up and Go"-Chancellor Strong
NO SIGNALS UNTIL AFTERNOON
Hourly Toots Delayed on Account of Non-Transmission of Secretary Brown's Order--Began at 2:30
After many vicissitudes and tribula-
tions, orders were given today by Edward E. Brown, secretary of the Univer-
sity, for the "tooty-toots" to begin
regular duty.
It has been decided that when the whistle is blown, no extra employee will be required, and that the whistle man can spare a few seconds a day to perform the operation. Instructions accompanying the schedule for the whistles say, "Students are authorized and instructors are present before after hearing the signal. Instructors will not consider this a discourtesy." The schedule and instructions are as
At 8:50, however, when the first whistle was scheduled to blow, there was not even a whisper from the direction of the power plant. When asked why the whistle did not blow, the engineer said that he had received no orders, and that there was nothing on the books to that effect. Mr. Brown stated three minutes later that he had given the orders, and that he was unable to say why the whistle did not blow.
The schedule and instructions are as follows:
THE NEW DAILY SCHEDULE.
Hereafter the "class hour" at the University of Kansas will contain fifty minutes and there will be an interval of ten minutes between succeeding classes. Signals for the closing of all classes will be given by a blast of the University whistle. The whistles will not be blowed at 7:45 and 1:20 when warning signals will be given before the 8:00 and 1:20 classes respectively.
It is expected that students will proceed immediately from classes dismissed at 9:50 to the chapel where services will begin as soon as possible. To avoid disturbance of the proceedings, no signal will be given to indicate the close of chapel service, but students are exposed to the activity and classes, which will begin as soon as possible after chapel service has been dismissed.
Students are authorized and expected to leave their classes promptly after hearing the signal. Instructors will not consider this a discouresky.
On Friday the signal indicating the dismissal of the first class after chapel service will be given at 11:30 instead of 11:45 as on the other days of the week.
The following is the schedule of signals that will be given by the University whistle on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; on Friday the signal otherwise given at 11:15 will be given at 11:30:

When Will We Have One?
As a result of the action of the Michigan Board of Tax Equalization, it is estimated that the University of Michigan will in the future receive $208,000 more from the State for its maintenance than heretofore. The three-eights mill tax will now yield an annual income for the University of $585,000.
A Healthy Youngster.
The University of Chicago, when it opened in 1902, had 594 students, as against 6,466 during 1910-11. At its inceptoin the university had total assets of four million dollars. Today its endowment propertyholding and pledges total seven million dollars.

TEACHERS LOOK FORWARD
TO N. E. A. IN CHICAGO
Members of the faculty have received announcements of the Fifthtenth Annual Convention of the National Association to be held in Chicago July 6 to 12.
Several of the professors in Education and in other departments have made plans to attend the meeting. There will be a score or more from the University who will go to Chicago and many more University graduates who are engaged in teaching throughout the state.
SPEAKS FOR THE NEW RULE
Professor Price Tells Local Audience City Councils Are Out of Date
Efficiency in government was the subject of an address by Prof. R. R Price of the Extension Division a the Methodist church in Lawrence yesterday afternoon.
He described the things that com-
monly prevent efficiency in city gov-
ment, the principal one being lack
of police and surplus of elec-
tric officers.
An upper and a lower house and the system of ward representation are, according to Prof. Price, relic of the past that need removing.
The cure presented by the speaker is the board of commissioners with power to appoint such executives as the city needs.

AS WAS PREDICTED EARTH CUT CORNER
But Kansas Didn't Hold Tight, and Slipped up North a Ways
"Hold tight! Earth cuts corner today," was the heading used by the Kansan for a story in the issue of March 21. The tale went on to tell that the sun had gone to make a friendly call on the equator and that perhaps when he got his social duty off his hands he would probably come back to Kansas. All of which goer to show that the Kansan is a live newspaper with inside information on all subjects—scientific, psychological, natural, pseudo-natural, and supernatural.
The catastrophe came. The earl carcened too far one to side, and on the evening of March 22 one corner of Kansas commenced to trave through the region which has been made famous by Dr. Cook etc. (mostly so forth). By Saturday morning March 23, this state was occupying the territory which has been recently occupied by the Hudson Bay Company with all the little pleasanties connected therewith.
The time of passage was not considerably lengthened but it was sufficient to allow the earth to become frosted with twenty inches of a substance greatly resembling divinity fudge.
When interviewed this morning regarding the peculiar capers which the earth had cut, Dr. F. R. and a professor of meteorology and astronomy said, "This is something which is so out of the ordinary that can't understand it. I have not had an opportunity to examine my instruments as yet, so off hand the onl way that I can explain the phenon enon is this:
"When the earth comes to the equinox it has to run the gauntlet through an asterism. This is a group of three stars and when any planet interferences with their affairs they each give him a paddling with long spatulas. Our modern sland term 'give him a birthday' originated from astrogeny. One ofthe stars paddled too hard and the earth jumped a coog and went off into space which naturally threw us into the space which rightly belongs to the North Pole.
"The earth is balanced in a manner similar to a B. B. shot in a quinine capsule and it didn't take it long to right itself. According to my astrolab, we are now approaching the valley of the sunshine of happiness, and contentment should soon reign supreme."
Susie and her sisters have moved. The corridors of the Administration Building no longer echo the clamorous yelping of the little dogs who were ever striving to rend each other "tooth and nail," as is said to be characteristic of the female of the species.
THEY WON'T KICK SUSIE AND JENNIE AROUN' NOW
The animals are now quartered in "Susie Hall," a fittle cement building about half way between Administration Building and Potter Lake. The new home serves the pups as dormitory, as well as a mess hall and class room.
It was all Susie's fault. She got hold of some suffrage notions and is a firm believer in the doctrine that
ZOOLOGY DEPARTMENT WANTS A DOG-HOUSE
Providing for the housing of the pups which are being educated under the careful guidance of Professor Dockeray, has brought up the need of the Zoology department for a building in which to keep live animals for experimental purposes.
Kansas Is Behind Other Universities Providing for Experimental Animals
"We need a building in which we can keep dogs, cats, guinea pig, frog and various other live animals on which to make experiments," said Prof. C. E. Head of the Zoological department, "and especially we need a vivarium."
"We are a way behind other large universities with good Zoological departments," continued Prof. McClung. "Pennsylvania has a large building devoted to this purpose only, while Harvard has a number of small pens and houses on the roof of the Biology Building where we can work at the present time where we can do this work, and have not been able to carry on proper experiments."
noise is essential to the success of The Cause.
Some time ago an attempt was made to secure a green house for the Botany Department.
The outcome of so much complaining and threatening is that Susie and her fellow students have been forced to seek another roof, where they will not be able to work with historians with revolutionary ideas concerning women's voice in council.
Her more quiet sisters remonstrated with her but it was no use. Finally a tall history professor came down and threatened to take Susie's life. At this, Sister Jennie began such piteous wailing that another tall history prof became somewhat peevish and complained to the janitor.
Professor MuClung hopes that when the money from the Robinson estate is apportioned, an allotment will be set aside for this purpose.
Ground has been broken for a new $80,000 building for the School of Applied Design at the Carnegie Technical Schools, Pittsburgh, Pa. This college is one of departments of architecture, interior decorations, and other art courses.
Mr. Younggreen held this same position last year.
Charles Younggreen, a junior in the College, has received word from H. L. Cook, Secretary of the State Fair at Topeka, of his appointment to the position of Superintendent of Conservation at the State Fair for next summer.
A Good Opportunity.
Andrew Digs up Again.
The faculty of Ottawa University this week nominated Miss Gertrude Barnes of the senior class, to receive the University of Kansas scholarship for next year. Miss Barnes was graduated from the Ottawa high school, receiving highest honors in the class of 1908. She will take her work in the department of ancient languages. William G Nelson holds the fellowship this year.
The scholarship carries with it a cash prize of $280, for which the student is liable for two hours teaching work per week at the University.
The University of Kansas each year gives a scholarship to one senior in each of the small colleges of Kansas. The beneficiary of the scholarship is subject to election by the board of regents of Kansas University.

Junior Engineers Miss Easy Words From Prof. Raymond's List
Out of twenty-six junior engineers in Professor Raymond's advanced English composition class last Friday, only one spelled a list of twenty-eight words without an error. The words are all in common use and the mistakes ranged from one to ten on each paper. Only five of the words were spelled correctly by all members of the class.
The words which proved to be the indoing of the engineers are:

Eastern College Girls Teach School Sixty Per Cent of Bryn Mawr Ph. D's Became Teachers
The register shows that 2884 students have attended the college and that the total number of degrees conferred is 1272. These are divided as follows: doctors of philosophy, 45; artists of arts, 92; bachelors of arts, 1135.
That Eastern college girls as well as Western prefer teaching as a life work is shown by recent statistics from Bryn Mawr College.
Sixty per cent of the doctors of philosophy, forty-five per cent of the masters of arts and twenty-five per cent of the bachelors of arts are teachers.
Thirty per cent of the graduates are married.
Doctor Day Says a Glass of Water Should Be Taken With Every Piece
"Boys, save your pocketbooks, and girls your headaches," said Doctor Day, of the domestic science department Thursday on a talk on the nutritive value of candy, particularly chocolates.
"With every piece of candi, equal to an ordinary lump of sugar," said Doctor Day, "a glass of water should be taken, because a strong solution of sugar is irritating to the mucous lining of the stomach."
"Sugar, because of its strong attraction for water, draws the water from tissues around the stomach until the solution is as weak as the blood in the tissues, unless sufficient water is supplied."

THREE NEW MEMBERS FOR TEXT BOOK COMMISSION
Prof. Olf. Templin, Dean of the College, Prof. R. R. Price of the University Extension division, and S. D. Bishop, mayor of Lawrence tendered their resignations as members of the State Text Book Commission to Governor Stubbs a few weeks ago.
Last Friday the Governor named Matthew E. Pierson, superintendent of the city schools of Kansas City Kansas, Ernst Pihiblad, president of Bethany college at Lindsboro and James Hettinger, an attorney of Hutchinson, as the new members of the board to succeed those who resigned.
The University of California has a new library, a new agriculture building, and a new track seems assured. A gift has been received with the provision that $200,000 is to be used in building on the campus a Campanile, to be about 300 feet high.

Prof. Higgins Wins His Case Against the Text Book Commission
The case was brought by Attorney General Dawson for the state, assisted by Hugh Fisher, a graduate of the school of Law of the University in 1909, and was defended by Professor William E. Higgins of the School of Law assisted by James Mitchell, University of Kansas law of 1893. The case involved the question of whether the School Board of Lawrence was using the adopted text books in good faith in the lower grades of the public schools, also whether they could use books not written by law. Judge Summers had this case under consideration and handed his decision down last Thursday. He upheld the argument of Professor Higgins and Mr. Mitchell in every contention which they advanced in presenting their case for the school board.
The question of the use of unadopted text books in the lower grades of the public schools of Kansas has been in dispute for some time between the State officials and the different school boards, the latter contending that they had the privilege of offering unadopted books in connection with the others.
The State has filed notice that they will appeal the case to the higher court to uphold their contention and make a test case out of it. Professor Higgins will have charge of the defense when the case is tried again.
KANSAS ROADS IN FLORIDA
In a letter dated Lesburg, Fla., Mr. J. Raymond Shidler, a special in the University last year, tells of his work as Way Engineer, and praises Kansas roads.
Speaking of his work Shidlea says, "I am certainly pleased with my new position and work. It is very interesting and promises to be a great thing." At present he is doing demonstration work in road construction for Uncle Sam through North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida.

Before coming to the University, Slider has been a U. S. teacher in the Philippines, and while here made his mark in postdoctoral training through the Lawrence postdoffice.
When stationed at Jonesboro, Tenn., the former home of Andrew Jackson, Mr. Shilder had the honor of attending a speech by Senator Bob Taylor and his brother.
ENGINEERS PUT OFF THEIR CELEBRATION
Circumpolar Weather Too Much for Flannel Shirt Athletes
ON WITH THE DANCE, HOWEVER
Hamilton Prohibits Use of Soft Track, so Events Will Take Place Tuesday, April 30.
It is the intention, however, to have an Engineers dance next Friday evening and arrangements have been made to have a regulation "hop" in the gym commencing at 8:30 o'clock and continuing until the lights blink out at midnight.
Owing to unfavorable weather conditions, the Engineers have decided to postpone their big day of festivity from next Friday, March 29, o Tuesday, April 30.
Reports from the track meet between Kansas and Missouri in Kansas City will be shown on a screen in the gym. In Kates and Paul Royer will play.
The final decision to change the late of the annual fiesta was announced this morning when a committee of engineers visited McCook field and pronounced the track to be for water polo only. The committee also reported that the track and the various high ways of Lawrence, have all the symptoms of being water soaked for weeks to come. Hence the shift.
The dance next Friday will not be "fussy" at all, but will be a general good time for the engineers. The tax will be fifty cents a couple.
REVEALS INNER FEELINGS
BY A CURVE ON PAPER
Machine in Psychology Testing Laboratory Shows Rate of Thought And Kind of Emotions.
You may be able to disguise from your friends your real feelings, but there is a new instrument in the psychology department that can tell all about your innermost emotions.
Prof. D. C. Rogers uses the machine in recording the brain action concerned with breathing and sound
The subject has his thumbs attached to a small rubber tube which is in turn connected with the apparatus. A slight electric current is turned on which moves the needle in use. The subject is then told to close his eyes and let his mind relax, the needle describing the rate of thought on the smoked paper.
A long strip of paper is carefully covered with lamp-black from a kerosene lamp and placed on the apparatus. Touching this are several small needles of varying sizes and fineness.
Another interesting experiment along the same line is the testing of pleasant, sudden, or distinctly unpleasant thoughts on the brain. These are tested by the same methods except that the results are described by the electric current against a paper back-ground.
WOULD NOT TAX DAD'S CHECK
K. U. Debaters Decide Against In- Come Tax.
If you are getting an income from dad the state will never put a tax on that check, at least as far as the K. U. Debtoring Society is concerned. They decided Friday night that an income tax would not be a good thing for Kansas. Carson, Conkey and Woolery upheld the affirmative, while Staton, Kennedy, and Madden talked for the negative.
The second debate was on the question of an educational test for immigrants. Here the judges decided that our present restrictions were inadequate, and that the educational test should be added to our present restrictions. Castle and Fisher were the affirmative speakers, while Zook, Finke, and Fairchild argued against the proposition.
