Duplicates Needed for Reference Work Included in Law Gift
Orr Memorial Book Collection
Is of Particular Value
to Library
The collection of law books given to the library of the School of Law by Mrs. James W. Orr is a valuable one, according to DEN H. W. Arant, dean of the School of Law. Some of the "Corpus Juris," "Ruling Case Law," "Lawyers' Reports; Annotated" (both series), "American Law Reports," "Kansas Reports and Digest." "Federal Reporter" (first and second series), "Nebraska Reports." "United States," "American Digest System."
The fact that there are a number of duplicates makes the books included in the memorial gift of particular value to the law library because of their importance, and books in the library. Half of the books are at one end of the long room and half at the other end, and this arrangement requires a great deal of effort.
other, which involves a waste of time and effort, in order to secure the books needed for reference reading. The duplicates will make it possible to have sets of books in each cut, which will be a material advantage. A number of the books which were already in the library, and which have been duplicated by series in the new collection, were made available in use, and would soon have had to be replaced. The books given to the library by Mrs. Orr will eliminate the necessity of this expense, for a time at least.
The new collection of books brings the total number of volumes in the law library to nearly fifteen hundred volumes, according to Dean Arant, and makes the entire library of a size that compares favorably with libraries of schools of law in other nearby states.
The one condition asked with the gift of the books was that *a*f of the books be placed together in one place, with some space between them. This is in the James W. Ort memorial collection of law books. This condition will be carried out. Desn Arant said, and in addition a collection of four volumes columns surging the same information.
The women's negative debate team, composed of Josephine Blades, undecl; C. Constance Nuckleen, undecl; C. Dorothea McClain, undecl; will debate the negative side of the McNary-Hungeman fastball representing Park University at Park University, Parkville, Mo., on Thursday, March 24. All of the women are experienced debaters, accordingly to Prof. E. G. B. Cushion, of the department of speech and dramatic art representing Kansas in the debate.
The library of law books will have to be rearranged in order to make room for the new books, but it is probable that the Orr collection will be placed in the southeast corner of the library.
Women Debate Tomorrow
This is the second debate for the women's team this year. This is the first year that the University has sponsored debates for women. The results speak well for the female adults, woman students, Mr. Broeder said.

Rabbi Berkowitz Speaks at Forum About New Book
"Elmer Gantry" Regarder As an Excellent Work, According to Orator
"You must read this book. Do not accept one's word about it, but find out for yourself," said Rabbi Henry J. Burkert, speaking on "Elmer Gantry" before the Y. M. C. A. forum at Myers hall today on "It is a challenge and no one can resist." He said the knife thrust with the hilt of the knife turning round and round and the flesh of the body following it."
Rabbi Berkowitz stands on the opposite side from the critics who have said that God has accepted Sinchin Lewis' challenge to strike him dead. In his book the depth of Lewis, this book is in the best thing he has ever done.
According to Rabbi Berkowitz there are five main issues by which attacks are being made on the book. First, the character of Lewis himself; second, the literary quality of the book; third, the character of Elie Gartner; fourth, the character of Dr. Wagner; fifth, resolved; and fifth, the ministry of the church as an institution.
LEWSON - PERFORMING
Lewson has had his personality on the country, and "the rabbit," but it is confusing the issue to allow the author's character to enter into the discussion. Could not Walt Whitman and Edgar Allen Poe be criticized or that a man's artistry is not influenced by his personality as his critics see it.
Lewis' Personality Is Felt
will live," said Rabbi Berkowitz in speaking of the first description of Elmer Gantry. "I think that if you read the book carefully you will find that Lewis is able to paint a picture with a word, to drive home an idea about the character of a writer, light in the splendid workmanship displayed through "Elmer Gantry." When the speaker took up the man's character he showed that it was basic, it was intended to be so and its success lay in fulfilling this imitation of the author's saying, "Elmer Gantry is a dog of dog," and said that the author's desire was to picture a "rogue that is thorough-gonging." Rabbi Berkowitz admitted that the vulnerable book the lay in the over-emphasis of its characters and criticises were with some justification calling it over balanced.
"I believe that the importance of this book lies outside the character of Elmer Canary," continued the speaker, "Frank Shank is the character of Stuart Lewis and he启蒙了 the main character bitter."
Rabbi Names Four Problems
According to the rabbi there are four important problems presented to the rabbi through this book: First, small denominational seminaries; second evangelism; third, the big city church and fourth, the increasing number of groups which are burdening America.
The meat of the book, according to the speaker, is in the ten-page discussion between Frank Shallard, the liberalist, and Phil McGarry, the conservative church from within. In this argument Shallard gives a definition of the true church which shows a deep feeling for religious questions. This is Lewis' own view, and goes to show intimate refinement on religious subjects.
"This book will become a part of the vocabulary of the American people, like Habibbity and Main Street." "It will be closing. 'Is it a book that will live.'"
Faculty Members Study Church School Schedulk
Dean S. B. Braden and Dr. Frank Arnold were in conference yesterday with Dean Ebright of Kaker University. Dean Ebright submitted a schedule he has formed for standard courses. He also subjects for church colleges in Kansas. The schedule considered is similar to the one used in the University School of Religion, with the exception of the course in history of religion, which may be included later in the state schedule. It is a probability, not an expectation, schedule suggested by Dean Ebright will be accepted.

Contract to Be Let Soon for Cafeteria Floor in Union Building
Complete Change of Air Every Three Minutes Is Insured by New System
The "roughing-on" of the heating and plumbing on the cafeteria floor in the Union building has just been completed to the point where bids are being received and will be recorded up here. The next set for the opening of the bids in the Chancellor's office. If the bids are satisfactory, a contract will be awarded for the completion of the cafeteria floor and stairs. When this contract is completed the cafeteria will be equipped by frequency by the University Commons.
The revised plans for the first floor are completed in the office of the architects, Pound and Pond of Chicago. The "oughing-in" for the heating and plumbing for this floor is practically complete, as they are available the contract will be let for the completion of the first floor and the remainder of the building. Sherman G. Elliott, treasurer of the Kansas University Memorial Corporation, says that the work has been completed by the Kansas City ventilating company. The warranty will guarantee to the cafeteria and kitchen on the caterferia floor, one of the finest ventilating systems in this part of the country.
In addition to the regular ventilating system, electric switches have been installed on eleven of the columns in the caterina. These will be used for both heating and the energy-go-round type, and place in such a way as to aid the passing of air through the dachs connected with the large fan in the garret. In this way, a complete change of air will be maintained in the caterina every three minutes.
Fire Damages New Oread
A fire of unknown origin started in the kitchen of Brick's. Cafe about 10:30 this morning. The back end of the cafe and most of the roof burned. A new tar roof had been recently put on the building and the building was also covered with black smoke. The inside of the cafe was damaged by fire, and also by water and smoke. Harry Inglis, owner of the cafe, estimated the damage at $3,000. He expects to have the building repaired in time to start regular business Monday. The interior will be completely restored. The loss was covered by insurance.
Students and Employes Help Save Furnishings
The firemen prevented the flames from spreading to the adjoining buildings but were hindered in stopping the fire by the low water pressure. Students were trained to deal with the fire department in clearing the building of its furnishings. The firemen had the fire well under control soon after the alarm was sounded and the firemen evacuated or tar caused considerable excitement in the back yard of the cafe.
Men Are to Elect All Male Officers of Future Classes
Council Passes New Rule Providing for Single Yearly Election in Future
Tuesday, April 12, was the date set by the Men's Student Council last night for the men's annual spring election under the new council ruling providing for only one ejection a year. This new ruling was finally passed last night but it has been known for weeks that this action would be made.
The women of the University will hold their election Thursday, March 31, and will vote on only the two officers charged with the attack. The jailed officers. They will not have any voice in the selection of other class officers, and the officers they elect will automatically become members of the W. S.
Farewells to Remain
Farewells of Remembrance A joint meeting of the W. S. G. A. and the Tourettes Council was held last night in conjunction with the regular meeting of the council to discuss the matter of farewell parties. It was thought before the meeting that "farewell" would be eliminated by the two bodies on the grounds that they were "unnecessary" and led to "unpleasant criticism of the University" over the country, but it was agreed that the "farewell" should remain on the school calendar under the rule that have governed them in the past.
The meeting, last night was comparatively short and no other business was brought up or transacted.
New Measure Is Drastic
The vote on the bill to provide for only one election yearly and select elections for the men and women was a number of the members of the council felt that it was too drastic a measure when it set an absolute limit on the number of either women or men class officers—a thing which is not done, they claimed, in any election in the country. There was also the opinion that the new ruling was unfair to the women, even though their demands, in that they have absolutely no voice in the nomination of election of president and secretary.
The new ruler concerning the holding of separate elections for the men and the women will have a considerable effect on the elections for editor and business manager of the 1928 Jayhawk, who was the most important candidates will be forced to extend their campaigns over a period of more than twenty days. To soften the effect this would have had on the financial part of the campaign, the different candidates have agreed among themselves to restrict themselves to small and equal amounts of money to be used for ad
Pharmacists Secure Mill
New Rance Conical Pulverizer Speeds Drug Making
A new drug mill of the Rance cone type has been set up in the drug laboratory, room 204 Chemistry building, for the use of students of the School of Pharmacy in preparing drugs from plants and roots.
There have been two other mills established in the school in the last two years, one of the Swift horizontal type, and an "Enterprise" mill. The second have proved to be so slow and inefficient that a modern mill was thought to be necessary, according to L. D. Havnibell, dean of the school. The new mill consists of three mills and is driven by a three-horse motor.
According to Dean Havenhill, the need for a new mill was fot at the time the new drying -case was installed in the drug department, as the old mills, hand driven, were cone and allow to take care of the outfit.
The drugs, principally digitalis, a heart stimulant, are grown on the south slope of M. Orsak; when mature they are taken to the drug room, where the plants put through a process that extracts the active properties of the plant.

Removal of Mexican Anti-Smuggling Treaty Reopens Discussion
(United Press)
Possible Lifting of Americar Embargo May Be Cause of Civil War
Washington, March 23. - Aigretation of the Mexican anti-armament treaty by the United States reopened general discussion today of possible lifting of the American armed embargo against civil war south of the Rio Grande.
After March 28 this government will be under no treaty obligation to prevent armed smuggling to Mexican counter-revolutionists, and the way is thus cleared for effective removal of the embargo.
The president is described as much impressed by the unanimous senate vote favoring arbitration, and by popular petition opposing the removal of the arms embargo. He does not consider retaliatory act by this government expedition for a moment at least. The president has apparently that some of the president's highest advisers have urged a break. These advisers consider denunciation of the anti-smuggling treaty the first step in that direction.
The United Coolie understands that President Coolide has no intention of acting immediately. But if and when Mexico commits an allied overt act in the oil-land law disputes by seizing American property, removal of the arms embargo in retaliation is considered probable.
Isabel to Begin Promptly
Final Rehearsal Goes Smoothly Manager Declares
Because of criticism that has been directed at previous musical comedies by failure to start promptly, every attempt will be made to raise the curtain for "keabet" at 8:15 sharp to coincide with a recording to George Calhoun director.
The management asks the co-operation of the ticket holders in being in their seats before this time. No tickets have been admitted until the end of the first set.
The final dress rehearsal for "Isaael" was held last night by the entire cast. The directors were well pleased with the results and the entire production appeared in finished form, they believe. The individual numbers were rehearsed as well as the group appearances.
A race, which is to climax the play, was run and brought roars of laughter from those viewing the rehearsal. The comedians showed clever training and adaptability to their parts in the opinion of the onlookers.
Tickets for tonight's performance are practically all gone but those remaining may be procured at the door. Plenty of seats remain for Thursday's performance, according to the management.

Lindley Sees Rise in Student Fees to Follow Budget
Increase in Running Cost of School Is Not Met by Legislative Provision
Cancellor E. H. Lindley, just returned from Chicago, Ill., and Bloomington, Ind., resumed administrative duties at the University Tuesday morning by releasing a statement in regard to the appropriations for the University made by the state legislature.
Chancellor Lindley's statement was as follows: "Friends of the University are grateful to the legislature for the appropriations to complete the auditorium and to replace Snow hall, and the allowance for much needed facilities at the Medical School. It is therefore our intention to request the requests for right increases in the items of salaries and maintenance was not granted.
Increase in Fees Favored
"In view of the financial depression in Kansas, the ways and means committees of both homes, while留意 increased attendance in these institutions, urged that the additional children be met by increased fees paid by the students. They pointed to the relatively low fees charged in Kansas as compared with many other states. Although reluctant to increase the fee, the lack of insurance is no other additional source of income available for the next two years.
"While many friends of the University assisted in the legislative campaign, special thanks are also the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the K. U. Alumni Association. Secretary Claude L. Scott and Secretary Fred Elsworth rendered magnificent service throughout the session."
The legislature of Kauai was willing to vote appropriations to complete the auditorium, now five buildings to replace Snow hall, and to purchase a new library building at the local School. It did not see fit, however, to vote the $122,000 recommendation by the board of repents for an increase of salaries and for the maintenance of the University, which itself would became one of the larger enrollment.
Kansas Fees Are Low
It costs the University $3090 a year per student, who pays to the University on the average of $40 annually. The only way now left to require the $222,000 is to increase the resident and non-resident fees at the University. The University of Kansas has in the Middle West and these fees, along with the appropriations made by the state, are not sufficient to maintain the school.
Kansas charges $40 a year for residents students and $45 for non-residents students; Missouri, $80 for residents; $80 for non-resident; Colorado, $100 for residents; Oklahoma, none for residents; $20 for non-resident; none 890 for residents; $130 for non-residents. Nebraska charges so much for each credited hour, which amounts to $60, $60 or more for the course taken, on the basis of the course taken.
The University now has an annual budget of $1,500,000 but this needs to be increased to meet the demands of maintenance.
