Harper, Notre Dame Athletic Director Thinks Little of New Football Rules
Plans for Revival of Engineers Day Announced Today
Program Will Consist Lectures, Athletic Contests, and Banquet
Preliminary plans for an Engineers' day, consisting of lectures by prominent engineers, an annual Bain event, and the annual Engineers banquet in the evening, were announced today by Clair Wood, c32, a member of the engineers' committee, to be on March 10.
TO BE HELD MARCH 10
According to present plans, classes in the School of Engineering and Architecture will be dismissed. The students of the morning will be occupied by lectures to the various groups by prominent engineers, specialists in their particular fields.
Two speakers have been secured, and efforts are being made to arrange for them. Sue Adams, Auburn Automobile company and Homer H. Dedo, 27 of the Ehyl Gasoline corporation, have accepted the counsell's invitation to speak during
In the afternoon there will be an athletic program consisting of baseball games, a tug of war, and several other events in which all engineers will participate. In the evening Engineers' banquet will be held and will climax the day's program.
Engineer's day formerly an outstanding annual event, was discontinued several years ago, and this year will mark the first of its re-establishment. In past years it was noted for the importance of the participants. One year, as a climax of a fief between the engineers and members of the School of Law, a number of floats of the Engineers were destroyed, allegedly by the Laws. An invasion of the engines occurred in our villages stitched Engineer's day as one of spirited rivalry.
Style and Auto Show Here
Jesar Harper, director of athletics at Notre Dame, thinks little of the new football rules which have recently come into effect. Mr. Harper visited K. U last evening to see Dr. F. C. Allen, director of the Notre Dame tickets for the Notre Dame-Kansas football game to be played here next year and to visit his son, Mell, c. 35.
region Drum and Bugle Corps To Make First Appearance
A spring style show sponsored by the Merchants' Bureau of Lawrence will feature an invitation to every one to inspect the stock spring of the merchants. The display windows of the downtown shops will be especially decorated for the spring.
The automobile dealers of Lawrence have arranged an auto show at some point on the street as an added attraction. The building will be illuminated by special flood lights.
The drum and bugle corps of the American Legion will make its first appearance on that evening stopping at each corner to add to the entertain-
This spring even has been arranged through the co-operation of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The home of Emma Mimi Guillem, 1290 Tennessee street, was robbed of $300. A woman who was the suspect forced his way into the house. The money belonged to a roofer who is accused of stealing.
This morning Mrs. Guffin declared that the burglar had not touched anyone in the room and that third floor where students occupy the rooms. The police had found no trace of the burglary.
MIDNIGHT PROWLER STEALS
$29 FROM BOOMING, HC
The new rule prohibiting the use of hands is one that he especially dislikes.
"It is abashed," said Mr. Harper. "It is not for you to play a player from the game. A player needs the use of his hands when there are several others against him at the same time. Also I do not care to see the purrs in my hand. If you make a fair catch always necessary and almost all of the games therefore will start on the 10 or 15 yard line. The kick-off is one of the most spectacular games and I hate to see it taken away."
$30 FROM ROOMING HOUSI
A meeting of A. S. C. E. will be held Thursday at 7:30 in Marvin hall, it was announced today. All members of the department have been invited.
A. S. C. E. to Meet Tomorrow
Mr. Harper stated that Notre Dame's football prospects for next year are fair. Of course it is important to him, but at this time he continued, but it will at least make a good showing. Speaking of the football game next year between Notre Dame and LSU, he said the backs will be much larger than those of Notre Dame with such men as Smith, Schaake, and Beesh. "Our hacks will average around 175 pounds," he
He also thought absurd the rule stating that the ball would be downed when he threw it. But except his hands or feet touched the ground, saying that it was a decided setback to the fast, shifty player such as Kobe Bryant. The imitation of the flying tackle there will be very little difference. They seldom hap-pen with an attacker, but few if any of them," he said.
To Debate' on War Debts
"Resolved: That the nations of the world should cancel their war debts" will be the topic of a debate to be held Thursday at 3:30 in Eurex.
Two University Students Will Argue With Kansas City Bankers

E. C. Bohler, professor of speech and dramatic art, said that he had not yet received any announcement of who the role would be for him. It will be a no-decision debate. The will be no admission charge.

Second Warmest February
Temperature for Three Years Higher Than March Normal
February of last year was the fourth warmest February, thus making the Februarys of the past three years the warmest of the whole 65 years of K U. recordings. In fact, in all three of these years, Febru-
rius was the second higher than the formal for March.
The second warmest February in the 65 years of record at the University of Kansas meteorological station was the report for the past month, made today by Prof. C. J. Posey, meteorologist. The report was compared with a mean temperature of 46.50, compared to the 42.71 of this year and the 32.11 degrees normal February time.
The maximum of 78 degrees was 13 degrees above the normal February maximum, but well below the all-time February maximum of 84 in 1830. The minimum of 5 degrees on the 4th was less than February temperature since 1829.
Rainfall of 0.41 inch is 1.05 below the normal for February, and brings the year's deficiency to 1.10 inches. Snowfall was about half the normal.

Hill Politics Flares With Pachacamac Attack on Council
Eligibility of Three Members to Hold Office Questioned by Leaders
CHARGES ARE DENIED
With an advertisement in the Kaman assuring that and asking why the Men's Student Council allowed three intelligible members to serve, the Pacchia community party made the first open move in a spring political campaign yesterday.
With allegations of mud-slipping and denials of noilibility on one side, and the continued control by members of the combined forces of the Oreald-Kayhawk parties, there is an issue.
The three men announced to be ineligible by the Pachacamas are Phil Froel, Frei, engineering representative; and R. K. Cewon, graduate representative, according to Carl Brown, president of the University of Chicago, either made denial of ineligibility or referred to Professor H. C. Thurma, head of the University eligibility com-
Lists Not Returned
Professor Thurman, when called, disclosed the fact that eligibility lists sent through Henry Werner, his student adviser, to Strobel Rail, president of the Council, had not been returned because he was a member whether members of the Men's Student Council were intelligible or not. He added that the lists should have been sent back before this time and that he had sent a letter to Strobel this morning asking for their return. The Kansas University was to get in touch with Strobel today.
R. C. Kewen explained his仁耻性 by saying that in his graduate course he had to credit hours for the past two semesters, certain thesis and seminar work was as yet incomplete and could not be finished except as a total unit carrying all of the required hours.
Phil Cook declared that he did not know anything about the matter of the eligibility list, but stated that, "Provention is important to the ability of all students in the various activities. I am sure that he has not declared any member of the student council ineligible or the student council would have taken immediate action."
Frei Emphatic in Denial
The means by which the Society of Pacachamac discovered the alleged ineligibilities is somewhat of a mystery for neither the Registrar's office nor the university. The names of ineligible students to other students except the heads of the various activities concerned. As such, Russel Strobel would be the only person to receive the names of such members of the University and not University administrative officers.
John Frii was emphatic in his "I'm not insoluble" decal of the allegation. John Prici was absent for hours for the two semester preceding participation activity, according to Professor Thurau, and when this was told Frii, he again declared that he was
Patrick McManns, president of the Kayhawk club, made the following statement when asked about the situation and the Pachacamac advertisement: "It's good politics. It's the beginning of the mud-slinging. It indicates that Pachacamacs are going to make a fight for it, which they didn't last 'war.'"
Carl Boven, speaking for the Pachacamacs, declared that the party was not attacking the presence of Oread in the council they hoped to be able to place men in the council themselves, but they were doing it "in the interest of the men of the University." Mr. Boven said that other members in the council to control it even should lose three members." All indications are that the coming year will be much more than any of those in the past few years. Year before last, the political situation was completely in control of the Pachacamacs forces, with some slight competition from the other parties. Last year, two parties, the Oread and Kayhawk groups, united and carried practically all positions. It is not difficult that Oread in the Kayhawk parties will unite again this year.
