COUNCIL OF DOCTORS MEETS AT ROSEDALE
Chancellor, Deans and Heads Of Departments Discuss School of Medicine
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 28, 1912.
MANY CASES FROM COUNTIES
Patients From All Over The State Cared For Free of Charge— School is Flourishing
Rosedale, March 27—The Medical council met in Dean Sudler's office Tuesday afternoon. Those present from Lawrence were Chancellor Strong, Dr. Dains, dr. McClung, Dean Sayre, Dr. Curran, Dean Crumbine, and Dr. Boughton.
Many important matters were considered regarding the policies of the school, and the hospital management. Some important announcements will doubtless be made when plans have been definitely formulated.
Chancellor Strong remained in Rosedale over Wednesday to consult with individuals of the faculty and student body of the Medical School, and to visit classes as well as the hospital departments in their daily work.
"I am especially enthusiastic about the condition of the Medical School and Hospital at Rosedale," said Chancellor Strong upon his return from the meeting of the Medical Council at Rosedale Monday. "The School is in much better condition than it has ever been, and for the first time, the staff is united. The work is well done, and there is plenty of it."
CHANCELLOR APPROVES
FREE STATE CASES INCREASE
Chancellor Strong stated that the new hospital already has more work than it ought to attend to. Over 300 cases have been treated at the hospital since it opened last October. An average of sixty cases enter the hospital each month.
The hospital is a present swamped with spinal meningitis cases, and it is a hard problem to care for them all.
The county cases are increasing rapidly since the completion of the new hospital. Seventy-three county cases representing thirty-eight counties throughout the state have been treated since October.
"The dispensary is developing in a surprising manner," continued Chancellor Strong. "There were more than 200 cases in February, and it will not be long until the number will reach 500 a month. The kind of clinics covers practically the entire realm of clinical diagnosis. There is a noticeably large number of obstetrical cases, which are usually hard to get for student clinics."
Next year's graduating class from six to ten in number, will be the smallest in the history of the school, it being the first to be affected by the two year College requirement. This year's class numbers fifteen.
MASQUERS APRIL 16-17
Date for "The Lottery Man" An nounced. Rehearsals Progressing Favorably.
The dates for the Masque club's production of "The Lottery Man" have been definitely set for April 16 and 17.
"The rehearsals for the play are progressing very favorably under the direction of Miss Mossler, and 'The Lottery Man' promises to be one of the best productions which the Masque club has ever given," said Harold Wilson, manager of the play, this morning'.
The scenes of the play are laid in New York in the winter time, and are very brilliant. The last scene shows the drawing room of "Foxy" Peyton, a millionaire newspaper man. The scenery is modern, but several pieces will be manufactured especially for the production.

times. Light refreshments were served.

NO Y. M. C. A. TONIGHT
Ex-Mayor Beardsey is Again Dedained in Kansas City.
ONLY FIVE DAYS TO GET IN SUPPLEMENT
The regular Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. has been cancelled on account of the impossibility of ex-mayor Beardside to come. Mr. Stockwell was in Kansas City yesterday afternoon but was unable to secure a speaker.
List Closes April First----Over Two Hundred Names
Are in
Great interest is being shown in the Daily Kansan's effort to print a new list of all the students who have changed addresses or telephone numbers since the directory was published last fall by the University.
The directory editor has been kept busy for the last few days answering the telephone and opening letters containing the new addresses. The supplement will be printed April 1, and only five more days remain in which those who wish their names published in this list may hand them in to the directory editor. This may be done either by letter, telephone, or by calling at the Daily Kansan office.
About two hundred name and addresses have been received up to the present time.
A number of students seem to prefer that their whereabouts remain a secret, however, and do not want their names published, so that their abiding place will be protected. I expected that the list will reach the three hundred mark before noon of April 1.
SUPREME JUSTICE OF LAW FRAT VISITS HERE
Mr. Carmody Is Surprised at the Size of Our School—Says Easterners Underrate Us.

TEN HIGH SCHOOLS WRITE FOR ATHLETES
Superintendents Want French Woodbury et al to Show Them How
IT'S NOVEL EXTENSION WORK
To Give Lectures on Physical Training and Exhibition of Form in Track and Final Events.
Ten high school superintendents have written W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics in the past two days, asked him that University athletes be sent to their schools for the purpose of giving exhibitions and lecturing on athletic subjects.
"Men will be sent to these schools and any others that ask for such lectures," said Manager Hamilton this morning. "The University appropriates do not allow us any funds for this purpose, but one or more of our best athletes will be sent to the cities which will agree to pay the actual expenses of the men. Dates will be arranged immediately after the Kansas-Missouri track meet Friday night."
Manager Hamilton has always realized the value of getting prominent athletes to lecture at the University and during the past year several exhibitions have been given here. The plan of sending University track men to Kansas high schools was not deemed practical until quite recently when arrangements between the School of Education and the department of athletics were completed. The matter was then announced and already ten requests have been made.
Among the athletes who will be sent out are: French, T. Woodbury, Patterson, Fairchilds, Don Davis, and Stuckey.
The high schools that have asked for lecturers are: Clay Center, Halstead, Winfield, Waterville, Mounton, Marysville, Minnesota, Mount Hope, McLouth, and Junction City. Several of the superintendents have intimated that there is an opening for a coach in their schools.
THE MIND OF A BRUTE
Question, "Can Animals Think'
Always Puzzles Psychologists
—Prof. Dockerer Explains.
Professor Dockeray commented when asked about it this morning, "no distinct line can be drawn between instinct and intelligence, because instincts are modified by learning. Animals do learn but this fact does not imply that they thing."
Do animals thinks?
"Perhaps."
If the Lawrence cat which the psychology department has, had never seen a dog, Professor Dockery thinks her first meeting with the three Kansas City dogs would have been more friendly. The fact that the little kitten bristled up when the three twins arrived showed that she had some previous unpleasant experience with dogs.
WE WILL KICK THE TIGER AROUN' AGAIN
Does inborn instinct prompt the cat to rise up, and fatten her tail, or must it learn that the dog is its enemy through experience?
University Hospital, Rosdale, March 28—D. L. Rowland, the owner of the College Book Store in Lawrence, is in a very serious condition. An operation for tumor was performed on him two days ago. Since then complications in and it is feared that he will not be able to withstand the added strain.
What do you think?
D. L. Rowlands Seriously In.
Special to the Daily Kansan:
Announcement has ben made of the engagement of Miss Orrel Myers of Olathe, a senior in the College, to Mr. M. K. Thomen of Junction City, a senior Engineer.
"Uncle Jimmy" to Kansas City to Aid Caudal Torsion
BIG MASS MEETING TOMORROW
Cheer Leader Dolde to Lead Chape Cheering—Sherwin, Putnam and Maybe French Will Speak.
Uncle Jimmy is going! And the band and the "fighting five hundred"and,—and when the team comes out on the track to "warm up" in Convention hall Friday night and Dolde rises to start, "what's the matter with the team?", the tiger may get an idea of what is coming.
Tomorrow in chapel, the meeting will be given over to the students, and Dolde will hand out some real live "dope," Coach Sherwin will speak, Putnam will speak, and it is rumored that Captain French may be induced to break silence. Uncle Jimmy will explain his "hunch," and this "hunch" it may be explained, has never failed yet. So rooters—come prepared to limber up your yelling apparatus and get in shape for the meet.
"The team is going to win. We expect every man worth $50 down at Convention hall Friday night to help us do it." So says Coach Hamilton

Sororities Produce Real Colonels in Quest of New Chapter House.
"Right this way— What am I offered for this fine new suit? Step right up, Step right up, Hur-ry"
Col. Faye Chisham and Col. Rachel Coston thus lured the girls from far and near to the sorority rummage sale.
Miss Chisham won her title of Colonel by her splendid voice and good line of talk at the sale given last Saturday. Miss Coston, who has been studying under masters, will conduct her first lecture on this subject, who have heard her practice declare she will be one of the foremost auctioneers of the state.
Kappas and Thetas have waited for years, as have the Barnard girls, hoping that some kind millionaire would come along to build chapter houses, until at last they have decided "you only get what you work for." In the sororities there are hair-dressers, manicure girls, errand girls, and even book agents, all earning money for the house fund.
"We will sell almost anything we have at the sale," said one of the girls. "You see we want the house pretty badly."
Suits, party-bags, dresses, beauty pins, gloves, shoes, hair-pins, rain coats, hats, and everything to please the heart of a girl-even "A Regular Man." The piano, are to be great to grace the piano, are to be displayed at the sale.
