To Chancellor E. H. Lindley:
The W. S. G. A. the Men's Student Council, the K Club, the Ku Kul', and the Jay James feel that Hobe day is an established institution of the University of Kansas in success in stirring up pen in the student body.
To Maintain Order
These organizations regardless report the violence and unacceptability some people have endured last year and feel that it was entirely unrepresentative of the sentiments of a majority of people.
Urge Classes Be Held
These organization are willing to guarantee good order in the student body on Hobe div. for the K Club, Mees's Student Council and of the Ku Ku organizations shall act as guardians for students and that no demonstrations be permitted in the buildings or hall, and that good order be maintained on the campuses.
These organizations feel that the holding of short classes at least is essential to the full realization of Hoboe day.

To Select Honor Singers
Larremore Will Pick 30 Men to Form Squad
In preparation for the coming joint-concert with the Missouri Glee Club a squirt of music will be played to sing the numbers which will be used later in the Valley contest. This squirt will consist of 50 singers, the number several times over. The numbers to be sung are the "chore" song of the K. U. club, Mac-Dowell's "Dance of the Grooms" and the college song, the well-known "Twin."
The members of this squid will be those who make the best slowing in the quartet trisides which will be held by him. His successor being selected for this "honor" each squid must convince the director and the president that he has mastered it, and should hold it, as a member of a quartet; against the three other parts, and at the same time keep true pride accented with great lavender, director of the glee club.
"While the members of this squad will not necessarily compose the final contest squad for the year, men who have played well may also have an advantage over those seeking to displace them later in the season. The "numbers of the former contest clubs will not be given positions on the 'honor' squad unless they prove their superiority by winning one or two years when this plan was first utilized, several members of the championship club of 1926 were excluded from their participation," reported their letter in the new song."

University Courts to Be Accessible for Sunday Use
Old Rule Lifted to Permit
Recreational Playing;
Other Sports
Prohibited
Sunday tennis is no longer barred on the University tennis courts, according to an announcement from the University's athletic department. The action taken by the Chancellor's cabinet and the Athletic Board the courts will be open on Sunday after Saturday, thus that purpose only. It was emphasized that the privilege does not extend to competitive playing and does not open the athletic grounds to any other group.
The ruling, it was pointed out, is in accord with the rules at other state institutions and denominational schools of Kansas and other states. A similar ruling is in force at the University of Missouri and at Michigan for some time.
Sunday privileges on the courts were withdrawn several years ago when it was found that students playing baseball on University diamonds caused unauthorized play. All privileges were denied under the ruling made at that time.
During recent years increasing agitation has been felt and both Hill poll organization have incorporated new platforms on their platforms at election time. Spasadie attempts to open the courts ave been made by student organizations but failed because of difficulty in accessing court which ad established the rule.
The subject was one for numerous editorsials, campus conventions and wise advice. It was stated in the Dove, "pink" campus publication, that students had less than five hours a week attending classes, since the latter were at least allowed use of state property for athletics.
The action of the Chancellor's cabinet and the Athletic Board can bake as a result of the pressure of this conspiracy of appeals from the student council.

Attacks on School Are Drawing Fire of K. U.'s Friends
Widow of Late Dean Joins Professors and Board of Regents in Defense
Published charges growing out of the statements of a former faculty member, drew first yesterday and today from people closely connected with the University. In addition to statements from members of the university, Mrs. P, P. Walters and Dean G. C. Schaun answered recent charges.
City Pressure Insufficient
Statements that the University had inadequate fire protection led Prof. George C. Shaad, newly appointed dean of Architecture and Architecture, to declare that water pressure on the Hill from the University plant can be maintained at 145 pounds to the equation for with fall fire "fighting equipment."
Professor Shaad's statement in part, follow:
This pressure is more than is possible in any other part of the city of Lawrence, owing to the fact that the water tower can be opened at the open tower on Orad and is therefore a gravity system. The city pressures are maintained by University buildings. Pressures in the University mains is supplied by an electrically driven fan which blows out a broad capacity of 229 gallons a minute. Water enough for free hours fire fighting is supplied by the city reservoir near the power plant.
"When the writer came to the University of Kansas the water supply was entirely inadequate for fire protection on Mt. Oread. In order to determine when the water supply was adequate for fire protection, a test was conducted and it was found that the mains so then existing were not able to supply water for a serious fire.
"I was suggested that connection to an 8-inch main coming up Michigan street would give the necessary amount of water, even with such a connection the amount of water would be entirely used," said Krohn. "Of the amount of 300,000 gallons capacity was built at the power plant to put an adequate water supply to fire-protection systems."
The "reservoir was adopted in prf-
rance to connection to the Michigan
State Lake Trout Management Unit.
Michigan line goes over such high
ground that the volume available
"The reservoir has been completed for two years, is kept filled, and is undergoing fire for about two hours; thus without any additional supply coming from the reservoir."
Present Supply Sufficient
Present Supply Sufficient
" statements then, on the effect that water is sprayed over them in the campus for fire protection are, of course, entirely incorrect."
Dean Shaud further said that the fire plugs on the Hill are placed at "better than standard intervals."
The fact that the published charges refer to the report of an "Eldgar Clark" is important, because it means that no such firm has ever conducted an engineering investigation on the Hill. It is the charges that is a class report written by an engineering student. Eldar Clark, second years at Harvard, wrote about drubbing, but in structural engineering, and the subject of the report was then being planned."
Made, P. F., Walker in a statement,
made by her husband, Donn
Walker. Donn Walker never
timute and that she was sure that
Donn Walker would not make a con-
temptation.
Dean Walker, she said, had decided to remain with the University of Kansas last spring at the University of Minnesota or we the University of Minnesota at a salary of $7,000 a year. "His relations with the University were most pleasant," he said.
