immediate Repeal of Dry Law to Be Topic of Debate
Missouri Valley Champion Meet Northwestern Here Tomorrow Evening
John Barleycorn again goes on trial tomorrow evening when the University of Kansas debate team for the first time clashes with the debaters from Northwestern University on the question, "Resolved: That the eight-room Constitution of the United States should be repealed immediately."
This debate embodies a number of unusual features, according to Prof. E. C. Bucher, of the department of speech and dramatic art.
Local fans will have an opportunity to see the debate champions of the Missouri Valley take the floor against a representative of the Big Ten. Northwestern is considered one of the strongest debate schools in this country. The debaters will arrive here tomorrow at 3 p. m. from Pittsburg, Kan. They will argue with the opponents of the Kansas State Teachers College before a Pittsburgh church audience tonight.
Court Room Style Is Used
The second feature is the win in the court, which was instructed for instead of the usual procedure court room routine will be followed. The first two pairs of speakers will give their constructive arguments, but the third member of each team will devote his or her opinion to the opposition. The chairman will preside as judge to decide whether the questions and evidence are valid. According to Professor Buchler, this is the first time this method has been tried in a court of law on the political debate in the part of the country.
Prof. M. T. V. Van Hecke of the School of Law, will act as judge, and David Evans, uncle*, will do the cross questioning for Kansas. The audience will vote on the question before and after the debate in to check up on the results of the argument according to Professor Bucher.
Championship Squad Debates
Northwestern will be represented by Robert Hawlett, Donald K. Cater, and Stanford Clinton. The team under the direction of its coach, Prof. Howard Berolzheimer, two weeks during which time it will meet 10 colleges and universities of the Middle West. This is the first time that a debate team representing Northwestern has ever been scheduled for more than one conference. In response to the request of the debate, Coach Berolzheimer said:

Japanese Authorities to Preserve Plants Now Almost Extinct
Forests Having Unique Trees Are Included in Imperial Reservations.
Reservations
(Science Service)
Washington, March 27.—Unique trees and other natural wonders of Japan, once threatened with extinction, are now the objects of special solicitude on the part of the government. An article by Prof. M. Miyoshi of the Imperial University, Tokyo, which will appear in this month's issue of Herschel's tales, of the official steps to preserve for posterity the natural monuments of Japan.
Among the forests coming under Imperial protection is an especially notable one on the slopes of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain. Other noteworthy trees include a forest of weeping chestnuts, of a variety unknown outside the islands, together with a pendulum tree and a pristine Cercidiphyllum, not represented by any near relative in the United States. Another protected tree is the Torreya, which is close kin to two American species known by the same name, one in California and one in a small patch of territory in northwestern Florida; these three trees, two American and one Asiatic, are the last lakes of what were once world-wide forests of this genus, and whose fertility would worthy smaller plants, are included in the protected list.
George P. Shuler, Jr., A. B. 25, is secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Dodge City.
The men were asked to wear dark coats and light trousers to this party, and their fair friends requested to don white dresses. The reason for this attempt at uniformity was undoubtedly to prevent undue prominence of anyone who might have chanced to own an unlady flashing
Freshman Grades Will Be Given Out Beginning April 7
Soph hops in those days were not simply a dance of four hours duration. That was not the way things were done then. Instead, the party was called for 5:45. The first part of the program was a faire, which terminated about 7 o'clock, and about 7:30 the dance was on.
In case one tired of dancing a full moon is recorded as being one of the features of the evening, and to facilitate such studies in natrometry as might have seemed desirable, a large number of chairs were scattered at the campus in convenient places. Telescopes were not furnished, accordi-
Marks of Upper-Classmen
Will Not Be Available
Before Easter
Vacation
mid-semester grades for all college freshmen will be available from their respective advisers from April 7 to April 19. East vacation from April 19 to 22.
"Isn't He a Handsome Man One of Most Popular Tunes at Original Soph-Hop in 1912
"I'd Rather Be a Twin Than a Triplet," or "I can't Hate a Handome Man," once made the sooph hop mop爽 as these tunes were played in Robinson gymnastium to the original soph hop crowd in 1912.
If a student has more than 40 per cent Fs' or Ds' his grades will be sent home and he is to be warned by his adviser or the dean.
Upper classmen's grades will probably be ready just after the vacation according to Miss Lear of the College office. The exact time will be determined by the promptness with which instructors turn in the grades.
Wt Use New Plan
A new hat will go into every fall in that the new seminars will be assigned to the same advisers they had during their freshman year, and will have the same advisers until they declare their majors. Before this, juniors and seniors have only had advisers when they went to enroll.
Grades of students other than in the college can be secured at the offices of their respective deans. Just when they are deemed out has not definitely been decided.
Grades Sent Home
Freshman advisers for both men and women and their office hours are posted in the hall on either side of the entrance to the main law school. Dean Lawson, all freshmen are expected to see their advisers, preferably before the Easter vacation. They are expected not only to get their degrees but also to provide their grades with their advisors.
"The purpose of mid-semester grades is not a mechanical giving out of grades, but it is to warn students with low grades so that they will be able to make that change." Paul B. Lavison, assistant dean of the College.
"It is hoped that a smaller number of students will flunk out this semester than ever before. Last semester only 154 flunked out of the College, while last year at the same time 193 flunked out," said Dennison. A smaller number of students always flunk out of the University the first week of school. The larger group of new students is starting in school.

This first sophomore hop, presented May 3, resulted after the University council had banned formal sophomore proms, which parties had been given by the second year students previous to graduation. That time required the locking of all campus buildings not later than midnight, but in order that dancing might be continued until that hour, the hop managers obtained permission to keep the gymnasium open until 12:30 noon, where were to be out and the doors locked.
And thus it started. Today, the soph hop is given at a down town hall, and begins at an hour when it should be well into its climax hour, according to the pattern set by the first hop. Nor are the men today required to wear special clothing or bloom forth in an array of multi-colored, many fashioned creations that drive butterflies to shame.
new suit or dress. The University was democratic in those days. The length of dress was not prescribed. It was not necessary to do so, for the floor was the limit, and then, as soon as it reached the ground sooner than others.
And as the party progressed well into the evening, the story is that "Light but substantial refreshments" were served. For such a long, drawn out怒ay the hop appeared to be in this, its initial presentation, crackers and milk or perhaps hardcrack and lemonade must have been the spirits of the party enthusiasts. Nothing is said of refreshments for those who continued through the evening with their admiration of the full moon.
Now as to the chairs provided for those who do not care to dance—the chairs may be still provided, but rumor has it that they have been put on by the students of glass. And here is the only respect in which the students of the time of the first hop could claim an advantage over the present day followers of knowledge: astronomy is one of the subjects the chairs have tops over them. One doesn't care to dance just simply has the evening ruined, that's all.

Live Volcano Is Part of Annual Exhibitions by Mining Engineers
Department Display Will Show Working Models of Mines and Oil Wells
The committee from the department of mining engineering of the School of Engineering has completed plans for its part of the exhibit at the annual engineering exhibition to be held April 22 and 23.
and Oil Wells
The organization for the exnux is well under way, and appointment of various sub-submittees is being completed, according to R. O. Moeller, Manager.
The departmental exhibit will be held in Haworth hall. All of the mechanical equipment and rock and fossil collections will be on display.
Volcano to Erupt
A young volcano is being constructed that will erupt at regular intervals. It will be kept smoking and giving off a red light very similar to a fireball.
A complete oil well drilling and pumping unit will be constructed and be shown in operation. Friday the rig will be drilling and Saturday the well will be "brought in" and pumping water into the reefs of reef plantings will also be assembled.
A mechanical model of an oil field showing several oil wells being pumped from one central power station will also be on exhibit.
**Coal Mine Included**
A small working model showing surface operation of a coal mine, including dumping the coal in mine care and the removal of it on a small railway set to be included. Two cross sections of underground mines and rock drilling with pneumatic drills are being contemplated.
Several of the more important mining functions and processes including hydraulic mining, classifiers in action, floatation process separating heavier minerals from lighter ore, rife tables will also be demonstrated.
New York, March 25 — The saying "us like a twins" is now proved to be the last word in similarity, for identical twins are also like themselves and are like themselves. At base, this is the conclusion of Prof. Tako Komai, of the Kyoto Imperial University, who has collected imprint prints and sites on his books in babies.
Motion pictures showing coal mining and important parts of the oil industries will be shown. Color slides of thin sections of rocks and mineral brightly marked may be produced by light of polarized light to give wig effects.
Twins More Like Each Other Than Themselves
"In the course of study on my collection, I have come to realize that, generally speaking, the same hands or feet of the identical twos resemble each other more closely in their patterns than the two hands or feet of the same individual," says Professor Komal in a report to Science.
professor Koma uses the footprint or handprint test to determine whether or not twins are identical or whether they are merely twins in age but not in physical make-up. The two halves of an individual's body are less alike, he shows, than the same side of the bodies of identical twins.

Alumna Author May See Own Work on Broadway
The usual order of things may be reversed and a play by Mrs. Virginia Goff Morris, produce1 by the play section of the Manier Club of Pelham, may see the light of Broadway in its initial production by amateurs.
Mrs. Morris graduated from the University in 1915. She is the wife of Lawrence B. Morris, formerly Geary county attorney and now in the legal department of the New York City Railways Co.
Even when Mr. Brooks was living the greenhouse was Mrs. Brook's own idea and it was her independent business enterprise.
Mrs. Brooks was one of the few living early residents of Lawrence.
In her first venture Mrs. Brooks devoted most of her time to raising varieties of garden flowers out of season. Later she began to raise rarer flowers and the culture of carnations most of her time was the last few years.
"Solitary Confinement," Mrs. Morris' play, was presented at Pelham Manor recently, and a number of play brokers were in the audience to see her performances. For the play, Her small daughter, Virginia Lee, was a member of the cast.

Dean Stouffer, accompanied by his wife and daughter Jean, left here August 1, 1926, and expect to return the early part of this June.
Flowers had always been Mrs. Brooks hobby. Even when Kannas was more or less of a wilderness person, she would often bring flowers and she was constantly giving flowers away. Some people began to come to her regularly no matter what occasion they might need flowers for, but most people began to insist upon paying her.

Greenhouse Established Almost Forty Years Ago on Tennessee by Pioneer Is to Be Destroyed
Dean Stauffer has held many important positions at the University having been professor of mathematics, dean of the Graduate School, and assistant to the chancellor. According to his position was probably that of chairman of the budget committee, which virtually determines the budget for the University from year to year. On his return, Dean Stauffer will probably resume his positions as professor of mathematics and chairman of the School and budget committee.
Mrs. Brooks started her first greenhouse forty years ago. It was a miniature concern compared with the large modern building which housed her last business. The first greenhouse was a structure twenty by forty feet built of stone and glass. It was located back of the Brooks. It was Tennessee's second three small greenhouses took its place and they were followed fifteen years ago by the present building, north of the house.
"Dennis Ellis B. Stouffer, of the Graduate School, is now studying at the University of Bolgaria, Italy, on a Guggenheim memorial fellow," said John D. Rycr, assistant to the chancellor, in an interview yesterday morning. "He is a recognized student of mathematics and is studying mathematics in a nationally known authority in the field of projective differential geometry."

Her husband, Paul Brooks, a Bostonian, came in 1854 and established one of the first general stores in Lawndale. He was visiting Mr. Brooks were waiting in Maine during Quantrill's raid, and thus escaped the massacre, but their home, on what is now Kentucky street, was burned to the ground. Soon after they built the brick house on Tennessee for Mrs. Brooks, buried until his death and Mrs. Brooks lived for sixty years.

Four little clay figurines found in Arizona show that prehistoric American Indian carved feminine fetishes just as Stone Age caverns of Europe did, when they began to copy the human form.
Two very primitive figurines were found in the Canyon del Marito by Earl Morris, while conducting research for the American Museum of Natural History, said Dr. Renaud. Natural History, said Doctor Drenaud. These rare prehistoric fetishes are in the University of Colorado museum.
The other two statutes, more decorated, were found also in Arizona by Dr. Bryon Cummings of the University of Texas, who was being exhibition in the museum there.
Board of Regents Makes Increases in Student Fees
Raise of $10 to Be Mad
in Resident Fees; $15
More to Be Paid
by Others
"It may be pointed out," said Chrieforon E. H. Lindley in a statement yesterday morning, "that the fees charged by the state schools throughout the state schools."
Fees of students of the University of Kansas were increased to $25 a semester for resident students and $3.75 a semester for non-resident students at a meeting of the Board of Regents held Friday. This is an increase of $10 and $15 a semester respectively.
Professional Fees Increase
Not only will K. U. students be compelled to pay higher fees but the students at the State Agricultural College at Manhattan will pay the same fee as students at Pittsburg, Hays and Emporia will have a raise in fees also. Where the resident student has been paying $10.50 a semester he will pay $18. For non-resident students the fee was rushed from $25 to $35. A 5% increase in fees will be applied to summer school. The fee will be $35 instead of $20 a session.
The greatest increase in fees is to be found in the professional schools of the University. Where the student in the School of Medicine was paying $100 a year, he must pay $150 next year. Non-resident students will pay $200 instead of $150. In the law school the resident fee will be raised to $300. In the non-resident the non-resident fee will be $80 a year instead of $60.
These increases of fees for the different schools were made by decisions reached in conference at Topkea with the various heads of the state schools and the Board of Regents. Chancellor Lindley represented the University
The increase of fees was necessary when the legislature declined to grant increased appropriations for wages, salaries, maintenance and general repairs for buildings, amounting to about $5 million per appropriation. However the legislature granted all the money for buildings the state schools were asking. The ways and means committee pointed out that the fees in Kuwait were low compared to other schools and they suggested that the state should small increase in semester fees. The decision of the conference of the Board of Regents was the result.
Will Raise Approximately $100,000 a year
beneft of the Board of Regents that the
fees will result in raising approximately
$100,000 a year for all the
regents.
The Board also instructed Charles Cuthbert, state architect, to draw plans for new buildings at the state schools in the following order: addition to mechanical arts building at Pittsburg; new power plant at the Agricultural college; Snow hall at the University; two hospitals; music hall at Emporia; music hall at Pittsburgh; science ball at Hays.
"This doesn't necessarily mean that the buildings will be built in that order," W. Y. Morgan, chairman of the city planning committee, said. "You wouldn't surprise me if the plan for the power plant at Manhattan which already are drawn, simply will have to be replaced by a new project. Then we will be ready to advertise for bids and start construction.
