MARVIN TALKS ON VALUE OF FADS"
Dean of Engineering Schoo Urges Relaxation From Daily Grind.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 12, 1912.
FOR ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT
Thinks Profitable Fad Tends to Give One Broader Outlook on Life And Wider Range.
“Every person should have something to do outside of his regular vocation,” said Dr.F,O.Marvin,Dean of the School in Chicago, in his talk chapel in this church.
"It is true that a man cannot lose sight of his real work. The daily grind of the regular school work is what students come here for, but I don't know where they go outside of this. Try to get into something for your all round development.
"It is rather hard to define the term 'fad' but Iwould class it under avocation. It should amount to something else besides the distraction or the recreation that it gives. It should be something entirely foreign to your regular work and while it may be taken up in the beginning merely as a diversion it may turn out to be an avocation and be of some practical benefit.
"At a summer resort where I was staying one time, was a man who could not enjoy himself unless he was doing some physical exercise. After he had read the morning paper he was exceedingly out of sorts until he could get out and go fishing or something. He had no internal resources whatever. He had probably been so taken up with the cares of a business life that he had not the time to take up any fad outside of his regular vocation.
THIS COULDNT HAVE
HAPPENED IN KANSAS
"The man who has a profitable tab is one who is more likely to be more broad minded and have a wider range in his view of life."
Cigarettes have put the freshman law class at the University of Notre Dame out of business. Williams Poyntell Downing of Decatur, III, as president of the class, included cigarettes on the menu at the banquet which was held at the Oliver hotel in South Bend. Official action followed swiftly. The class has been disbanded and will receive no recognition of the college organization. It will not be permitted to hold in future any banquets or dances. All freshmen who attended the banquet have been officially notified of their delinquency and the usual notification has been sent to their parents. Downing has been suspended for two months.
FILLED THE HUNGRY
Freshmen at Northwestern are subject to several unusual regulations. They may not use automobiles or cabs in the college town, must limit the depth of their trouser "cuffs" to four inches, and in addition are forbidden to smoke pipes or to smoke cigarettes in public.
Dr. Robert Nelson Spencer, pastor of the Trinity Episcopal Church of Kansas City, Mo., spoke at the Y. M. C.A. meeting last night on the social work that his church is doing in Kansas City. Dr. Spencer's church is known for finding problems somewhat different from those of the boulevard churches.
Dr. Spencer Tells How His Church Did Practical Charity Work
NUMBER 59.
He has decided that in order to win, the church must be harnessed to the practical problems of life. In accordance with this principle, Dr. Spencer opened his church during a part of the cold weather of the past winter and lodged and fed fifty men and secured work for them.
Another step taken by Dr. Spencer was the establishing of a convalescent home where thirty patients can be cared for. It is the hope of Dr. Spencer that this will become a municipal institution.
SOUVENIRS FOR EDITORS
Two Interesting Mementos of Law
rence Meeting We Distributed
two interesting souvenirs were given to the editors while they were here. One was from the Life Publishing Company and the other from the students in printing in the department of journalism.
"A little bunch of laughs for the serious minded Kansas editors," that was given by Life, contains a number of sketches and stories from Life magazine. It is about one fourth the size of the real magazine and bound in the same manner.
The "Editorial Baedeke" issued by the printers, is a sixteen page booklet "done in tabloid." It includes brief sketches of Lawrence and the University besides "two editorial fillers" or the menu for the two luncheons given to the editors. The Baedeke is tied with crimson and blue cord. It is being mailed to the editors in the state.
FIRST GRADUATING RECITAL A SUCCESS
Miss Reynolds, Soprano, and Arthur Johnston, Piano, GivenLast Night
The first of the graduating recitals of the School of Fine Arts was given last evening in Fraser hall by Cora Reynolds, soprano, and Arthur Johnston, piano. Both of these young people have appeared before University audiences a number of times before and they were enthusiastically received by a large crowd. Miss Reynolds lives in Lawrence and Mr. Johnston's home is in Cottonwood Falls.
Since coming to the University, Miss Reynolds has sung at a number of recitals and has been the soloist at several of the Lawrence churches. In her group of songs, she displayed probably the most versatility of interpretation, although her opening song "The Woman" was also from *Rejoice Greatly* from Handel's Messiah were difficult and required much technique.
In 1901 Harold Henry graduated from the School of Fine Arts on the piano and until Arthur Johnston gave his recital last night there never has been a man who has graduated from piano at the University. Harold Henry has won a womens for himself in the musical world and at that time he also wrote the opinion that if Mr. Johnston continues in his work he will attain a like success.
In Donizettell's Sextet from "Lucius" arranged for the left hand alone by Leschitziksy, and in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 he showed a wonderful mastery of the piano and was called back again and again for his piano piece, which showed strength, interpretation, and sympathy.
One Mr. Thermo Meter, who lives in the little white house on the Fowler green, is cultivating a lofty and uppish manner. He's building an airplane, he says, and expects to do some aviating. Brother Baro is helping him by arranging for fair weather tonight and tomorrow.
In the closing number Concerto No. 4 in D minor by Rubenstein he was accompanied by Professor Preyer at the piano and Miss Maude Cook at the organ.

"One of Miss Addams' chief interests is suffrage," said Dr. Corbin today, "because she believes the ballot is the direct means for the betterment of people. Other organizations have tried to induce Miss Addams to lecture in the West, but have failed. It is her great interest in suffrage which brings her here now."
While in Lawrence, Miss Addams will be the guest of honor at a luncheon given under the auspices of the women's organizations of Lawrence and of the University. A representative from each organization may be appointed as a member of a committee to arrange for the luncheon.

DECORATIONS ARE ELABORATE
Surpass Eforts of Previous Proms-
Girls Active in Decorating
The decorations for the junior Prom are by far more elaborate than in the last two preceding years.
The general plan of the decoration is the usual Japanese garden effect. The decorative scheme used was from a catalog of the Boston Motor show.
Streamers of green and white bunting are hung from the center of the gym and are draped to the railing, which is covered with smilax.
Perhaps one of the causes for the general artistic effect of the hall lies in the fact that the girls of the junior class helped in the decorations, something that has rarely been done in the past.

CLASS VISITS TWO
DAYS AT PRISONS
Gave 'Rock Chalk' in Women's Ward—Will Take Two More Trips
Prof. V, E. Helleberg and his class in Sociology returned last night from the annual inspection tour of the prisons at Lansing and Leavenworth. The class was much smaller this year than usual, only seventeen besides Mr. Helleberg and a Daily Kansan representative making the trip.
The State Penitentiary at Lansing was visited first, the class being the guests of Warden and Mrs. Codding Wednesday night. Thursday morning a complete round of the interesting places was made. The entire party was taken down one of the mines, over 700 feet below the surface. The boys penetrated one of the tunnels almost a mile and were shown how the convicts mine the coal. A picture of the party in mines is on the prison photographer. A incident the morning was the singing of the "Crimson and the Blue," followed by a rousing "Rock chalk," in the women's ward. There are 934 convicts in the Kansas penitentiary now.
The visit to the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth was made Thursday afternoon. The huge prison dining room was perhaps the greatest point of interest. 900 men eat at the same time here, a 14-piece orchestra furnishing continual music. This penitentiary is said to furnish better food to its inmates than any other prison in America.
Two more trips will be made this spring by the classes in Sociology. One will be to Kansas City in order to study the charity organizations and conditions, and the other to Topeka, to visit the State Insane Asylum.
The Bertillon system of identification was elaborately explained by the officer in charge. 1060 civil prisoners were on the current now, "including 119 life-term men."

Instructor in Rhetoric Here Last Year—Will Have Best Work in This Year's Jayhawker
Willard Austin Wattles, one of the near-famous alumni of Kansas University will publish his poetry in book form soon. He is negotiating with a Boston publishing house now.

Jack Wright, The Lottery Man, Gives Aged Spinsters a Chance.
LUCKY NUMBER IS STOLEN
Jack Clears $150,000.
Kitchen Maid Has Ticket 7323 But
Prefers to Marry The Butler—
Jack Clears 8150,000
"The Lottery Man," which the Masque Club will stage Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week, deals with an elaborate money making scheme of Jack Wright, an erratic newspaper reporter.
Wright decides to sell chances on himself at one dollar per, and advertises the scheme over the entire country. He hopes in this way to make about half of all the maids who will gladly jump at the opportunity of getting a husband.
At the end of four weeks he has sold 300,000 chances. Foxy Peyton,owner of his paper, and a large number of Jack's friends all buy chances on him for Helene Heyer with whom he is in love. He has not yet been able to do with him, however, because she thinks he is making such a fool of himself in this lottery.
On the day of the drawing Jack and his friends are at the home of Foxy Peyton waiting for the returns of the lucky number. He says that the lucky number is 1323.
LIZZIE IS LUCKY GIRL
It happens that Lizzie Roberts, a companion to Mrs. Peyton who is a hyphen-drive, and takes treatments of Hedwig Jansson the Swedish masseur, had put him in this case this was the lucky 1323. The origi- ditions of the lottery were, that if Wright should refuse to marry the winner, she should receive all of the money made from the scheme. Jack finally decides that he cannot marry the winner and that he will have to give her up, together with all the money. Of course Lizzie is very much swelled up over the affair, since in either case she will get the benefit of the money.
Just when Jack is preparing to turn the money over to Lizzie, the butler tells him that she stole the ticket from Nora, the kitchen maid. This changes the situation, for Nora is already in possession of the ticket to let Wright out of the contract for half the money. Wright gives her half the money, and makes $150,000 himself which is even more than he had expected to get at the beginning.
Of course, Jack marries Helene and Lizzie remains an old maid.
Moe L. Freidman, "11, who is practicing law in Kansas City is visiting friends at the University. Freidman was one of the writers of the "Idle Idol" given by the Red Domino club last year. He saw the presentation of "Object: Matrimony" Tuesday evening and was much pleased with the performance.
