Extension Division Gives Popular Course in K. C
An extension class in "The Physical Chemistry of Calibd" is being offered at the Kansas City School of Pharmacy, Kansas City, Mt. by Dr. Robert Taft, assistant professor in the department of chemistry at the University.
The class meets once a week, at 7 on Friday evening. There are 29 persons enrolled in the class, and records indicate that the work is being taken for graduate and undergraduate credit and for information and professional advancement. Such a large enrollment requires a lot of hard work, Mr. Kecker said, and indicates that there will be a growing interest in this phase of extension teaching.

Nearly All Sororities Entered Program to Re Broadcast by KFKU
Me Phi Epsilon, honorary music sorority, will conduct the first inter sorority sing this evening in Fraser chanel at 8:15.
KFKU, the official University broadcasting station, will radiocast the contest.
Each sorority competing must sing two of their sorority songs and the first strenuah of William Herbert Carruth's "Life at K. S. U." Mu Pai Epsilon is attempting to make this one of the favorite songs on the campus.
Members of the competing sorcerors are asked to be at Franck炉 at 7:45 p. m. Each sorceror will sing the first song by Carruth, followed by the second song, the present time, practically all the sorcerons on the Hill have entered the contest, according to Virginia Arnold, fa27, who is in charge of the contest. The sorcerors will be awarded to the winner of the contest. If the contest becomes a yearly affair, the large cup will go to the sorcery winning the sing for three consecutive years and another will go to the winners each year.
A change in the list of judges for the contest has been announced. Mine Agnes Humbard, who will serve as one of the judges, has been called father, and Mrs Alice Monterleiff, instructor of voice in the School of Fine Arts will serve in her place. Other judges will be T. A. Larcurevich, director and coach of the Mrs Giles McKee competition, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Judgment will be made on the following points: Tone quality and voices, general interpretation, general attitude and department, memory, and diction. "The most important thing is that your voice will be the manner in which the groups put their singing 'over'," said Dean Swartout.
Dean Swarthout expressed himself as being thoroughly in sympathy with the project and hopes that his talented, technically good group singing in the or organized houses on the Hill when the sing becomes a yearly event.

a contribution the Kansas chapter decided to do so itself and a fund was raised last night for the purpose.
The University of Indiana is the logical place for a memorial since as a student Mellott held the position of editor-in-chief of the Daily Student and carried on campaigns which demonstrated some of the same high standards of taureless journalism he disclared in the Canton fight.
Mess, Don R. Mellett and Lloyd Mellett, Don's brother, who was city editor on the Canton News when Don was killed, have expressed their desire to co-operate in putting the drive over. The students plan to have some experience driving while curbing the work of Mellett and in inspiring others to his ideals.
There will be also some means on preserving the list of contributors to be known as the "Mellett Memoria Batallion."
Criticism of Dancing Is Found in Old Book
"Nothing shows the national character, or thoughtlessness and gaiety, plainly than a strong and general propensity for dancing.
The dance craze was the object of almost as much criticism a century ago as it is today. This was shown by a book, followed with age, which was recently in the walls of an ancient mansion demolished in Medford.
"A passion for this amusement affects persons in every grade of life. It might be supposed that those only who have spiritual gifts whose spirits are continuously elastic and buoyant, under the cheering unities of prosperity and ease. But it is not possible."
Under the heading, "Dancing," the author, in 1831, wrote:
"The thoughtless and will pay will often loit in order to suppress those moves of conscience which would lead him to a life of religion."

Parisian Modistes Turn Attention Toward Men
Parisian dressmakers are not devoting their entire attention to woman's wants. They have decided that men need muscles just as much attention. One of their first dictates is to wear black blouses; they be simple black. Blue and even light purple are the colors indicated. An important point is that the underwear of the well dressed man must match, for instance if one wears a royal blue tail coat he must have pales with an initial in a darker shade.
Three linen have just brought to Paris a thong of buyers from New York, Chicago, Denver and San Francisco who will take back home the latest Gallic contribution to men's wear. They have noted that bright colors are going to be the rule not in women'apart also but for men.
One of the best known tailors declares that various shades of mauve will be the prevailing style next summer. With such a suit, the well dressed man will have a pale makeup, a tight black shirt and a pair of dark snake skin shoes, Sunkieks, by the way, is to have a great popularity in all kinds of beetle goods. Linard skin in dark shades is also going to be popular for
