Co-Operative Plan Fails to Attract CSEP Jobholders
Only 13 Persons Have Expressed Desire to Take Their Meals at Cafeteria
Only 13 applications from students desiring to take part in the CSEP cooperative meal plan to be sponsored by the cafeteria had been received at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Fifty participants will have to be enrolled before the plan can be undertaken.
The plan, which embodies the essential features of the 10-cent meal plan carried out last year, was inaugurated following a survey taken by Henry Werner, his student adviser, at a meeting of CSEP applicants last Friday. A large number indicated at that time that they would participate.
Although not limited to CSEP jobholders, the plan, if put into effect, would serve only those students who are unable under present circumstances to avail themselves of the regular eating facilities, including the cafeteria.
Cost Put at $2.25 a Week
The cost to the student for 17 meals a week under the plan has been set at $2.25, an average cost per meal of approximately 13c. No meals would be served on Saturday night or on Sunday.
No CSEP funds are to be used in providing the meals to the students. The plan was organized solely as a co-operative effort, but some aficioa and the students participating.
Menus for the meal plan are to be essentially the same as those used in last year's plan. They will provide a wholesome, well-balanced diet, although no choice is possible in particular items of food. Serving of the meals in the cafeteria was scheduled to begin Monday under the supervision of Mrs. E. M. Evans, director of the cafeteria.
Three Meals a Day
Students enrolling in the plan will eat in the cafeteria proper with the rest of the patrons. They will be served from a special service table. Anyone enrolling in the plan must contract for three meals a day. It is felt by those in charge of the plan that a two-meal a day arrangement for some students would not constitute a balanced diet, and hence defeat the purpose of the plan in providing proper food for students who could not otherwise obtain it.
"I hope that the next few days will bring in a considerable number of additional applications," Mr. Werner said today. "We have not followed up many of those who signified their intention to take part, and I am sure that there are others who wish to secure the meals. If 50 applications are not received, it will be necessary to deprive those students who have applied of a chance to obtain proper food, at a low cost."
Application blanks for the meal plan are available at Mr. Werner's office, at the alumni office, and at the office of the assistant to the dean of women.
TEST FOR DRUG INSPECTOR
GIVEN BY DEAN HAVENHILI
Dean L. D' Havenhill of the School of Pharmacy, supervised a civil service examination in Topaka yesterday. The examination was given to select a man to serve as food and drug inspector for the state board of health.
The pharmacy questions were made out by Dean Havenhill, while Henry Werner, assistant professor of chemistry, made out the questions for the test in food chemistry. Werner was unable to attend the examinations because of his work with the committee for student employment.

Mortar Board Holds Forum
Dean Agnes  Husband Addresses
Group of New Women Students
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1934
A forum for freshmen women and all those new on the Hill, sponsored by Mortar Board, met this afternoon at 4:30 in Central Administration auditorium. Miss Agnes Husband dean of the College, Joyce Doyle and Personal Hygiene." The address was followed by questions and an open discussion.
This is the first time that such a plan has been carried out. Up to last year, freshmen women had been given the opportunity of hearing such discussions at the hygiene classes, but were not given credit for attendance. Credit is now given for these courses.
Sorority Is Quarantined Following Measles Case
Kappa Kappa Gamma, social sorority was placed under a semi-quarantine by Dr. R. I. Cauteson, director of the student hospital, yesterday following the development of a case of measles by Ruth Murgerkurth, fa37, a plea:
Members of the sorority were not barred from class-room attendance, but Dr. Canuteson denied the women he right to have dates until next Monday night. The ban would be lifted if that time if no more cases developed, it was announced.
A rumor which said that the Kappa Alpha Theta house would be placed under a complete quarantine because scarlet fever had broken out there we circulated last night, but an investigation this morning failed to reveal that such was true. Several Theta were reported to be absent from University classes this morning pending a report by Dr. Camuteson.
Dr. Camtenston said that the dating privilege had been temporarily withheld to prevent, if possible, the spread of the disease to Hill fraternities.
Miss Magerkurtw was taken to Watkins Memorial hospital last night to minimize chances for spread of the disease.
Leroy Weathered, a student from Arkansas City who has been confined in the hospital with pneumonia since Jan. 8, was reported much improved today. He was allowed to sit up for the first time since he was admitted.
David Aitken, e37, who was taken to the hospital Tuesday night suffering from a mild attack of appendicitis would be released either this afternoon or tomorrow it was learned. Aitken was removed from a basketball game in which he was playing with the Congregational church squad when he suffered severe abdominal pains. No operation was necessary.
NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM
REPLACES SEMI-ANNUAL ORG
The registration at Washington University at St. Louis this past week was characterized by overheated corridors, inaccessible professors, and crowds of students jammed into small doorways, Washington University Student Life.
One woman fainted; students stood in line for hours only to have the door of the office closed in their faces; and it was impossible even to pay fees.
During the last few days, work has been progressing rapidly on this project in front of Watson library. The mound of dirt and rock left from the excavation for the library's construction is being removed, the rock being taken to the quarry for crushing, the dirt being used to level the surface.
The University has asked that an adequate system of registration be adopted in order that this semi-annual system be applied to a systematic and civilized procedure.
FINE WEATHER AIDS WORKERS
ON LIBRARY GROUND PROJEC
A Van Horcock, gardener for the University, could give no definite amount of time which completion of the work would require. Much depends on the weather and on the number of men and trucks which are assigned to the project.
Mr. Van Horbeck estimated that about fifty truckloads of rock had been taken from the embankment. It can be used more profitably as crushed rock than for filling in the hole.
Bov Scouts to Be Guests
Between 300 and 350 Boy Scouts of the Kaw area—11 counties in eastern Kansas, from Leavenworth to Emporia—will be guests of the University athletic management at the Iowa State game tomorrow night.
A group of Scouts will put on a demonstration between halves, showing some phase of Scout work.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 15—(UP)—Kidnapping is one of the most difficult forms of crime to combat, but the mercy may be lessened, as far as an individual family is concerned, by taking precautions as follows:
Famous Crime Investigator Suggests Methods of Avoiding Being Kidnaped
1. Avoid the flaunting of wealth. Display is an invitation to the desperate.
2. Stay away from dark streets and areas likely to be unsafe.
NUMBER 91
3. Hire only servants of known integrity.
5. Pay servants and guards well and treat them with such consideration that they cannot be bribed.
4. Employ a courageous and resourceful bodyguard
6. Devis a family code or password for telephone conversation so that members calling may be identified as such.
"Bottles" was distinctly disobeying traffic regulations. George Snyder, the campus policeman, looked stern as he watched the culprit dash about in utter disregard of the rapidly moving cars. Not only that, but the young impudent was frequently letting out loud exclamations unbefitting to campus dignity. George decided to act.
'Bottles' Feels Law When George Finds His Actions Unbefitting
7. Have telegraph companies verify any messages asking a member of the family to leave home or meet a train.
"Here you, don't do that" he called.
The violation continued.
The guilty one felt the authority in the official voice and approached him, his head handing down, his tongue out, and his tail wagging. "Bottles" is George's large white, long-haired dog, with black ears, and a few well-placed black spots.
"Stop that! Come here to me."
"He's usually not bad about chasing cars. The one backing out was too much of a temptation for him. He had a bad habit of doing that once, but I broke him of it. He is coming down the street after a car at a full rate of speed. I feel he has come by, swinging him around, and then stepping against the fire plug. It pretty well took the breath out of him. He hasn't tried it much since.
“He's my ghetto,” commented George as patted the bread back.
"He's around most of the time. They have to lock him up at home to keep him from coming on the Hill," George laughed as he watched "Bottles" trot down the street in search of excitement.
Fifty Lawrence Men Included Among Those Given Employment
Grads Working on Survey
Several recent graduates of the University were included in the 50 Lawrence men who have been given emeritus degrees. He is a professor and Geodetic Survey under the CWA.
The present survey is a follow-up project, completing the triangulation of the United States from coast to coast along the 39th parallel. It will consist of running a transverse connecting each point of triangulation.
"The University, along with the Kansas State College at Manhattan, is furloring the engineering equipment for the new C. McNown of the Engineering School.
Dr. Fred J. Kelly, former dean of administration at the University of Kansas and now chief of the division of colleges and professional schools of the United States office of education, gave a talk on "The Responsibility of Higher Institution for the Development of Citizenship for the New Day," at a conference held yesterday in Lincoln by some twenty Nebraska colleges.
Lawrence is situated very near the 39th parallel; the points of triangulation will extend as far north as Holton and Rockingham, H. A. Waite is the local supervisor.

8. Warn children against the advances of strangers. If children go to school, see that they are protected en route, and they cannot learn anything from classes only to proper persons.
9. Have alarm systems installed in houses, garages, and automobiles, and keep grounds well lighted at night.
10. When extortion notes are received turn them over to the department of justice at once without too much handling of their contents. Follow the advice of federal agents.
Servants should be fingerprinted and heir prints and photographs forwarded o the national bureau with a request hat they be checked for criminal records. Any police department will perform this service without publicity.
As the repeal of prohibition in state after state ends liquor rackets, more and more gangsters will turn to kidnapping because they will be more necessary than in the past.
Of the points enumerated, those dealing with servants are the most important. Nearly every big kidnaping plot in the novel is present member of the victim's household.
Any light company can furnish a burglar alarm system, making entrance impossible without arousing the neighborhood. Wealthy persons driving from the theater should have their car brought to the main entrance. Many now have loud horns installed in their automobiles with a special switch which may be tripped if gangsters attempt to halt the machine.
Lithographs Are Exhibited
Century Old Prints Comprise English Architectural Group
The American Federation of Arts, a national organization for the promotion of Arts, has sent an interesting group of English architectural lithographs to the University. These lithographs are on exhibition on the third floor of the Engineering building.
The lithographs were done about a hundred years ago by such famous English draughtsmen as Samuel Pout, David Thomas, Thomas Boys, and Thomas Nash.
There are lithographs of French Spanish, and English buildings. Some of them appear to have been originally tinted while others seem to have been colored with water colors some time after they were lithographed.
Vacancies on Council Filled
White and Voran Will Replace Avery and Reynolds
Alfred White, ed'34, and Reed Voran, c'35, were elected to the position on the Men's Student Council executive board last night to fill the places of Bill Avery, c'34, and John Reynolds, e'34, at a meeting of the Men's Student Council.
Both Avery and Reynolds were graduated at the end of last semester and are not attending the University now. They have been visiting with the rest of the graduating class.
Several vacancies have been occasioned in the Council by failure of members to return to school. They will be filled by candidates who will be selected in the near future and who serve until the regular elections in Anril.
Tom Douglas Jones, who was graduated in design in 33, sailed today for France. He expects to spend six months in Paris studying art and drawing with the Julian Studios and plans to study jewelry design with Rene LaLioue.
Suggestions for the revision of the Council's constitution will be considered by an investigating committee this afternoon.
Mr. Jones has for several years been employed as artist for the New York Sun and the Brooklyn Eagle and will be remembered as having taught the class of design and advertising the second semester of last year.
STUDENT TO SAIL TOMORROW FOR ART STUDY IN FRANCE
BUEHLER TO EXPLAIN METHODS OF WRITING WINNING ORATION
"How to write a winning oration," will be explained to all men and women interested in either of the freshman-sophomore or junior-senior speaking contests, by E. C. Buehler, associate professor of speech and dramatic art, at 4:30 Friday afternoon in Green hall. The freshman-sophomore contest is scheduled for March 7 and the junior-senior contest will take place March 13.
Ise to Address Engineers
Prof. John Ise will deliver a short talk to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at 8 o'clock tonight in Mar-Aug. New students are urged to attend.
Cupid to Have Supreme Rule at Belated Valentine Varsity
M. Orcad will celebrate St. Valentines day somewhat belated, but nevertheless enthusiastically tomorrow night at the Memorial Union ballroom.
Although two days will have elapsed since the time for the sending of the lace-trimmed tokens of affection, the St. Valentine variety is expected to carry on the old tradition. After the light has turned on, the spotlight will switch to the remodeled ballroom, where Cupid will have his imming.
Coach Bill Phipps will send a new lineup into the Friday night fray, when Joe Halloway takes over his new duties as director of the orchestra. Halloway is a veteran of several years standing. He will take his position in the orchestra and lead the new novelty numbers to be offered by the Philips orchestra.
Arrangements have been mad to take care of the largest crowd expected since the varsity dances last fall, which climaxed the football games, Lloyd Lane, dance manager, has announced. No formal scheme of decoration will be needed in this party, but a new system of lighting effects will probably be evolved.
Boyce Speaks to Oilmen On Salt Water Menace
Methods of Handling Waste From Wells Discussed by Kansan
Oklahoma City, Feb. 15.—(Special)—Four methods of disposing of salt water waste incident to oil production were discussed here this morning by Earnett Boye, director of the water and sewage laboratory at the University of Kansas and chief engineer of the Kansas State Board of Health. He was speaking be-
fore a brief production of the mid-continent district of the Ameri-
crop Institute.
Professor Boyce pointed out that salt water brought to the surface in connection with the petroleum industry was creating a distinct境ance in the region north of Wichita, and ultimately in flowing from Kansas into Oklahoma.
The oil industry is concerned also, if the increasing cost of disposal of brine makes it necessary to abandon an oil well before its maximum production of
Disposal Problem Serious
The disposal problem becomes a serious one, he said when the streams draining a producing area must be used as sources of water supply. The wastes produced are usually inert, and change only in intensity, and if allowed to enter a stream in which there is not sufficient water for dilution, may destroy the usefulness of the stream for purposes other than waste disposal.
The four methods of disposal presented and discussed by Professor Boyce
1. Storage of waste in reservoirs until it could be evaporated by solar heat.
2. Storage until time of flood, when the waste could be released into the stream without being of sufficient intensity to damage the stream, or storage of water to maintain a suitable continuous flow.
3. Evaporation of brine to recover its mineral content.
4. Return of the brine, with or without a high concentration to underground formation.
tittle Revenue Offered
Possible Revenue Offered
The use of oil field brines as a source of mineral salts offers possible revenue. The plan has been tried at Sand Springs, Okla. From available data it would seem that this method is feasible only if the brines contain sufficient amounts of the rarer salts. It is possible that the revenues from the sale of salts recovered from concentrated brines may be used to offset, in part, the cost of brine disposal, and the net cost may compare favorably with other methods of disposal.
"In seeking a solution of the problem of brine disposal, we should study the situation in each field, and apply the methods best adapted to the particular case." Professor Boyce said. "Failure to plan for disposal of anticipated brine production invites expensive litigation."

University Quota Of CSEP Positions Completed Today
Applicants Not Approved Until Notified by Committee; Women's Limit Unfilled
Notification of successful applicants began this afternoon under the direction of Miss Mary Olsen, 21, executive secretary of the CSEP committee. Work on the projects will start immediately. Fred Ellsworth, director of the Student Employment bureau and a member of the committee, said today that some applicants had gained the impression that they had been approved following their initial interview with the sub-submit-ees.
336 Applications Granted
The University's quota of jobs under the College Student Employment Project has been filled. After a session last night in which the entire group of applications was again considered, the interviewing committee announced this morning that 336 students had been granted work, and that there were enough applications remaining to fill the allotment of 350 today.
"No one's application is approved until he receives his notification, probably by telephone, and his assignment slip," Mr. Ewellsworth pointed out. "In order to facilitate the work of handling the large number of applications, the CSEP committee of seven members was subdivided into three smaller groups for the interviews, and while these sub-com-ments may have indicated to a particular student that they had case worthy, that did not mean that he had been granted a job. His case had to be considered by the entire group later.
Approximate figures compiled at the end of the committee's session last night showed that the number of applications were tentatively approved followed the quota figures with only a few discrepancies. Following are the approximate figures, not including applications considered this morning.
New Old Total
Men 51 176 235
Women 28 86 115

Actual
New Old Total
Men 57 191 248
Women 25 65 88
Women Don't Fill Quota
Anticipating the shortage in women applicants, the committee wrote to Washington for permission to transfer men to the vacant places in the women's allotment, but word was received today that such permission could not be granted. The ratio between men and women must be preserved in respect to the actual number of jobs granted, the CSEP appropriation having provided that the ratio of the school's enrollment be maintained.
The bill also provided that one-fourth of the money spent should go to students not enrolled in any college or University during January, 1924. It is because of these provisions that exact figures on the number of jobs granted in each class will not be available until the project is well under way. Although more applications have been tentatively approved than there are jobs, the work must be assigned in a manner which will fit with the terms of the appropriation.
Other Jobs Are Needed
"Not all students in need of work can be taken care of in CSEP jobs by any means," Mr. Ellsworth said today. "In many cases, students need jobs very badly, but are for some reason not eligible for a CSEP appointment.
"The employment bureau would be greatly aided in its efforts to help this group of students if employers and business men who can possibly furnish employment to students would keep in touch with the office."

Honolulu Prints Exhibited
A group of Honolulu prints are now on exhibition in Spooner-Thayer Museum. "Melody on Waikiki Beach" is one of the prints in the collection of sceneries and landscapes from the South Sea Islands. The collection will be on display for the rest of the month.
