MEDICAL SCHOOL MAY PUBLISH A JOURNAL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 11, 1912.
Plans Discussed and a Committee Appointed at the Meeting Last Night
IS VIVISECTION NECESSARY?
Harry Doty Read Paper on Surger of Living Animals—Dr. Chambers Spoke on "Fakes."
At the regular monthly meeting of the University Medical. Society last night in Snow hall, plans were discussed for the publishing of a Medical Journal, or bulletin which would be the organ of the entire medical school, and in which the papers read before the society at its meetings would be published. A committee was appointed for investigating the proposition further and starting it as soon as possible.
About fifty medical students and professors attended the meeting last night, and several good papers were presented. The eclipse was served after the meeting.
ANIMAL SURGERY NO CRIME
Harry Doty read a paper on Vivisection, in which he traced the practice from its origin, telling of the trials and struggles which it has survived, and some of the arguments for and against experimentation on living animals by medical students and physicians. Some of the benefits which he mentioned as direct from this practice are, our entire knowledge of physiology, the great assistance in the study of pathology, the practice of obstetrics, the study and treatment of cancer, experience in every phase of surgery and the great benefits derived from it, the actions of drugs, on the system, and the knowledge of bacteriology and hygiene.
"Those who object to the practice of vivisection," said Mr. Doty, "should first refrain from wearing furs, feathers and plumage, leather shoes and many other articles for which the lives of animals are sarcastic." We will be allowed to experiment on animals, we will have to use human beings."
MARK TWAIN A PHYSICIAN
and instructive paper on "Clampasia." He gave a number of examples of the trouble together with the treatment administered.
"Medical Fakes," was the subject of the paper, given by Dr. H. L. Chambers. He told of the so called electric belts, batteries, plates, etc., which are worked off on the mechanical of the various patent medicine which are supposed to cure all, and also of the efforts on the part of some to combat what they think are fakes. "A number of anti-vaccination, and anti-viisivation societies have been formed throughout the country to combat what they call a fake.
"I find that Mark Twain was somewhat of a doctor," said Dr. Chambers. "In his stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, he tells of a wart cure which Huck Flint says will never fail. A huck is, is cut, in half, and on one piece some blood from the wart is placed and the section buried. The other is burned, and when the half is buried, these "warts" it will cure down that must out."
Chancellor Frank Strong concluded the program with a short talk on some other takes, and on the medical school as one of the essential parts of the University. "For the first time," said Chancellor Strong, "we see our way clear for the development of a sound school of medicine. It is one of the essential schools in the University and its success is assured."

"I am inclined to the theory that a newspaper man must have a natural inclination toward journalism. However the Kansan laboratory ought to reveal the presence or the lack of this instinct in an embryo journalist. It seems to me that the course offered by the Daily Kansan will tend to develop some mighty good country editors."

F.

These castings included 300 pounds of rub-plates, beers, boxings and other small pieces to be used on locomotives.
This work was done by the commercial department of Fowler schools, which was established this year. The work is done almost entirely by students, and is under the direction of Superintendent Warden.waren millipoton. yrewd
"We are glad to get such news as this," said Mr. Ward, when speaking of the letter, "because it shows that our work is of the best quality." Other schools have been doing commercial work for several years and filling contracts in territory around here. As this is our first year, we must establish our reputation before we can expect all the larger contracts. The fact that the students are standard locomotives, and pronounce them as good quality shows that the students are capable of turning out good work."

Negative Speakers Convince Judges That RecallShonld Be Avoided
IANSAS STRONG IN REBUTTAL
Decision Probably Based on Colo-
rado's Main Speeches—Rodebush
Made Fine Talk for Kansas
By the Judges' decision of two to one, the Kansas team were defeated in the annual debate with Colorado held at Fraser hall last night. A large crowd was present, and listened attentively to the excellent talks by the debaters representing both institutions. Prof. R. R. Price presided at the debate.
The question was, "Resolved: that the recall should be applied to the state judiciality." Kansas argued for the affirmative. Carson, the first speaker, after outlining the proposition, showed that judicial corruption and decisions based on technicalities was a result of irresponsibility of the judges; and advocated the recall, a method of direct control, as a remedy for the evils of the bench.
CORRUPTION NOT THE RULE
Storer, the first negative speaker, maintained that corruption on the bench was isolated and that it was due to short terms and low salaries. He argued that the recall would aggrivate, rather than alleviate the bad conditions.
Rodebush told how the judiciary were usurping legislative functions of government by allowing their personal opinions on social and economic question to affect their decisions. He declared that the judges should be directly responsible to the people.
Seeman, for Colorado, said that the recall, if adopted, would be used by the politicians, as a threat over the heads of the judges. He insisted that the proper way to get laws which were declared to be contrary to the constitution, was to amend the constitution, what burden from a maze
RECALL MORE VALUABLE AS A RESTRAINT Heller, the last affirmative speaker, argued that the recall is a simple, practical method of improving the judiciary. He advocated the theory that its chief value would be in its restraining power and not in its actual use.
Ombathead, in closing for the negative brought up the point that the people, not having a thorough knowledge of the law, could not fairly decide questions which would involve technicalities. The negative alternative of legislative removal of bad judges and giving the people the right of petition for an investigation was presented at this time.
Kansas was strong in rebuttal. The five minute speech of Robebush was particularly effective, and those who were influenced by last impressions were confident that Kansas would win. As is was, the decision was undoubtedly given to Colorado on their main speeches.
LOST AT OKLAHOMA TOO
The Kansas team, which debated on the negative of the recall question at Oklahoma last night lost to their opponent in a tie, followed Minor, McClelland and Davis represented Kansas.
DEBATING SOCIETY WILL DISCUSS TWO QUESTIONS
A meeting of the University of Kansas debating society will be held on April 19, and the program as it is given by Wayne Edwards, chairman of the program committee is as follows; First Debate - Resolved that the United States Government should grant old age pensions. Affirmative Allen, Flint, Williams. Negative Bennett, Bodington, McCormick.
