REPORT IS PREPARED
The Kansas State Public Welfare commission has completed its survey work of state charitable and penal institutions and is now preparing a report to present to the next state legislature.
First, the creation of a state department of public welfare to take over the work of the present Board of Administration, and in its place an unpaid advisory commission will be appointed to ensure that publicly held director of public welfare.
Miss Mabel Elliott, assistant professor of sociology, is a member of this committee, which was created by the Board of Governors appointed by Governor Wooding.
The second primary recommendation is the creation of county welfare boards to co-ordinate the health, educational and social welfare work in the counties.
The two most important recommendations were as follows:
If these two measures are adopted, the Public Welfare commission expects Kansas to take its place as a leader among other states in this kind of work. At the present time it ranks extremely low. This plan involves the advantages of public welfare programs placed without any increase in expense; in fact, the plan will be a great saving both in efficiency and in rehabilitating the 'handicapped groups in the state.'
The commission has the co-operation f many research groups in gathering ac data on which these recommenda-
tiences are based. The sociology, psychology, and education departments of the university are responsible for studies which are to be published in the report. This report will be ready

logging Angers Presiden
Head of Oklahoma University Deter mined to Punish Culprits
Norman, Okla, Dec. 12 — (Special) The flagging of Bill Stephens, correspondent of the Daily Oklahoma and U.S. News organization on the University of Oklahoma campus last Wednesday brought an emphatic statement from President Bill Clinton.
Eleanor Masonn, c.35, was called to her home in Kansas City late Saturday night, because of the illness of her mother, who was injured in an automobile accident. Her mother is suffering from a broken hip and a dislocated shoulder, but was better last night.
"Without a doubt this is the most serious offence which has been committed in recent years. As long as I am head of this school, I will allow no group to dominate the student body by taking so many absences toASKing to President Belfred said.
No action had been reported on the cases of other students alleged to have been involved in the showing of the picture. The picture was given at fraternity houses for an admission price of 10 cents.
President Bizzell called upon the county to assist him in pushing the inquiry into the Bagging of the student. The hooded band accused Stephens of writing news stories which were deriving the interest of university fraternities.
Bizzell indicated that progress has been made in the case, but that the investigation may prove a lengthy one.

To Occasionally Split
An Infinitive Is All Right,
Says Jury of Experts
The formerly grammatically correct, people who screech at the very thought of a split infinitive are in for a lot of suffering now. I will use an adjective and an infinitive. Neither it incorrect to say "It is me," nor use a proposition to end a sentence with. The National Council of Teachers of English at a recent convention at Memphis thus decreed. Many time-worn teachers have been forced by these masters of the language.
Professor Sterling Andius Leonard of the University of Wisconsin consulted skilled users of English, organizing a jury of more than 300 publishers, editors, authors, lexicographers, philologists, business men, and teachers, who struck out grammatical slaves in their books. They slaved if good form for generations.
The expressions still outside the pale of good English are "Do like I," "It is sure was good." "Ain't," "Busted." "I am sure to go," "worst of all" "I calculate to go."
According to this jury of experts, it is proper now "to make a date" and "to tax" the spot. All right is to say all right, and the speaker who says it pretty good is pretty good. "Nice" is welcomed into the language, too.
Now, only the unprogressive adherents to old grammar form who are out of fashion will sneer at people's illiteracy.
Three Powers Debate War Debt Settlement
Sanctity of Obligations Between Nations Is at Stake
By the United Press
The French parliament was in a hostile mood, many of its members anxious to default but more cautious ones fearing the consequences.

History was written today in the capitals of Great Britain, France, and the United States government at London. It is one of the questions of paying their war debt installments to the United States. The decision was expected to have a tremendous bearing on the future of the country. The question of having gold tangled gold were at stake, but even more important, perhaps, was the question of principal, the sanity of international obligations and the relation of the countries to each other between the United States and Europe.

Men's Council in Favor of Afternoon Dances Downtown
Council members of the W.S.G.A., at the regular meeting tomorrow night, will consider the joint resolution suggested by the House.

'Crooner' Bausch May Be Awarded 1932 Sports Prize
Olympic Decathlon Winner Plunges Fist in Pocket and Carols 'Lonesome Road'
IN DRAMATIC GESTURE
A hurst of applause greeted the track and field star when he appeared wearing a tuxedo. Evinicing only a trace of embarrassment he strode to the center of the stage with his left hand in his trouser's pocket.
He appeared with an orchestra directed by his red-haired schoolmate, Barton Com, Jr. in a midnight theater program "The 220-pound Giant." The 220-pound giant confident bartone voice to divide a plaque home with Madeline McKenzie, a fast moving blonde hota舞er, capacity crowd largely University of Kansas, Bauckhoff alma mater, filled the theater for the program.
Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 12—(UP) (Jarrym (Jarring I) Bumac), Olympic deathathon winner whose name is under consideration for the 1832 Sullivan memorial medal, made his debut this weekend as a croner.
He ended the number with a four-
fish of his arms slightly reminiscent of
a discus throller throwing rid of the
weight. Instead of singing an encore,
he appeared to express his appreciation
of the applause.
The "amateur athletic union has a very strike rule for blocking all reference to anything past, there's nothing for me to say except that I'm enjoying very much my association with the red headed youth maestro."
The orchestra job in Bausch's third venture since he won the decathlon will be a concert with insurance for a time and then was a campaign speaker for Harry Wooding. Wooding lost, and one Kanaes news editor was unkind enough to call her "a genius." He sold his speech it was apparent Bausch was rattel javelin threw.
AS THE EDITOR SAW IT
Another idel has fallen. Saturday night in Kansas City the young man whom the world had acclaimed a few short months before to the greatest athlete of all time, stepped before the footlights of a vaudeville stage and in a hosed baryte voice urged his autumn to "look down that lonely read."
James "Pany" Bausch, as we now can使命 has him让 field of business to seek after that soul satisfying thing called "public acclaim." In the insurance business there were no cheering stands. When success came and a friend was landed there was no more to a friendly pat on the back from the bus.
The excitement of the stage is indeed satisfying. Remuneration is not bad while it hats, but after that, What? After all Jumlum misses a song of her. All the cheering Saturday night was the public fist punch. The pubbie is fickle. Soon they will form world athlete *k1* know only the medico-currieren—ronn curtains.
It was a terrible comeback. Here was a man trained physically to a high pitch. Business could offer no thrill that could take place of a wild exhilaration of an almost perfect unity of muscular action.
When Jairm Jim is through with the stage he must once more start at the foot of the ladder. There are no cheering crowds for those who would things worthwhile. "You've got to come down. Jim. You've got to come down."
Don't take it too hard, Jim. This is really excellent publicity.
