Speaker Advises High School Work in Vocational Talk
Teaching as Professor Is Discussed in First Guidance Week Meeting
Before getting into special lines of teaching one should first do some other teaching, according to Miss Barris, in a new course for K. U., and is now an instructor in Central High School in Kansas City, Mo. She spoke yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in the auditorium of central high school to students with Vocational Guidance Week.
E. W. Anderson Speaks
Miss Wilson in taking up the types of teachers spoke of elementary and higher schools, lines, teachers of sub-normal children, and vocational guidance advisers. She recommends high school rather than teaching in the lower学校.
E. W. Anderson, of the School of Education, took up the talk saying that the reason that teaching is a responsibility is because it deals with growing individuals. At this time their lives are being shaped and if the teacher loops on the job the child will not develop or learn properly and it will leave bad scars upon their characters. Mr. Anderson went on to say that teaching is not like saving money; instead, then it is not done, but if the child is not taught then the infant mind must suffer.
No.110
The question of seeking positions was then taken up by Mr. Anderson. He stated that there are three ways to secure a position; through the appointment bureau, by letter of application, and through a personal interview.
"City Salary Best"
In discussing the possibilities of the large and small school, the speaker said that the large city system is hard to get into, but that the salary schedule is always better. In contrast, upon differently and is considered more nearly a distinct part of the community and for that reason must take a part in community activities. The modern system of teaching school has taken the teacher out of the time frame when it was supposed to act like a human being, it was stated
"A good axiom to follow in the finding of good school teachers is to discourage all those who want to go into school teaching, and those who do not," they discount the ones to encourage, "the they will best teachers," said the speaker.

County Clubs Notified Final Payment Is Due on Gift Jayhawkers
Placing Year Books in School Most Composite Message,
Says Ellsworth
Says Ellsworth
The K. U, County Club committee today sent a second notice to all county clubs that are delinquent in paying for the Hawkeyws that have been ordered for their county high schools.
Fred Elsworth, secretary of the K. U. Alumni Association, said this morning, "if the students care to see the Jayhawk in the high schools of their county, they must bring their money to the alumni room, room 2 central Administration building by Monday, Feb. 21; at the latest,
Mr. Ellsworth said, "Less than 300 Jayhawkers have been ordered this year through the price of one dollar to the county clubs is less this year than ever before. Last year even more clubs were ordered by the clubs at $1.50 each."
The Jayhawker this year is the most expensive and complete book that has ever been attempted in the University, according to Mr. Ellsworth. The extremely low price offered to the county clubs is made possible through the co-operation of the University, the Men's Student Union and the Athletic Enterprise committee, the Alumni association and the Jayhawk staff.
"If the president or secretary of the delinquent county clubs is not collecting the money for the Jashawkhe members of the clubs should have enough interest in seeing that this kind of crime themselves," said Mr. Ellsworth.
Mr. Elsworth said, "Pacing Jay hawkers in all the county high schools is the finest service students can render to their high schools as this gift is the most composite message that can be put in the schools."
A list of the 41 county clubs that have turned in their money to the Alumni office includes:

Memorial Building Formally Received From Contractor
Advertisement for Bids to Finish Structure Is Contemplated at Meeting
Irving Wright, field representative for Pond & Pond, architects for the Memorial Union building, and the building committee held a session at the Memorial building yesterday afternoon for the purpose of officially receiving the Memorial building from the contractor, Gordon Walker.
The building was officially received from the contractor, Mr. Walker, and the electric work from the Squire Electric company. The cafeferia ventilating system was not sufficiently finished to make the official test and will not be received for at least ten days.
Final Plans Consulted.
The building committee and Mr Wright went carefully over the final plans with the view of advertising in all of the cafeteria floor but owing to some minor changes the advertising for bids will not be issued for a few days, Mr. Wright assured the committee that all the plans and specifications for the completion of the first floor are prepared. As soon as the contract is let for the completion of the cafeteria floor, if the finances warrant, the advertisement for bids for the completion of the first floor will be allowed, and which this building will be completed depends entirely upon how rapidly the money can be collected.
Architect Commands Pop... Mr. Wright said, "The Kansas Union Building is a great place," pay As you build' policy, is a new venture and stands in a class all by itself. The usual difficulty arising from the construction of memorial buildings is that they are made of a heavy indebtedness, so much so that it is very embarrassing not only to the management but to the students, and they are institutions where they are located.
Mr. Wright also said, "Following the lead of the Kansas Memorial building management, Pond & Pool have advised other memorial movements in their buildings until they have sufficient money to at least insure the construction and payment of the building to that point where they feel that they can make their way without injury, such heavy financial obligations."

Busy Life Dangerous,
Says Bishop Moore,

"Life Loses Much Beauty When Crowded." Warns Texas Chircophan
Churchman
Bishop Harry Moore of Dallas Texas, one of the leaders of the Bishop Conference now being held in Topeka for the Episcopalians of this district, spoke at the second luncheon on Wednesday on "Things That Matter Most."
"The common place thing to say nowadays," Bishop Moore stated, "it to say that we live a busy life. But a life that is too crowded is dangerous. If I wanted to ruin a life I would fill it full."
"Having to do many things is on of the biggest problems we have to face. We need to stop and think, to take an inventory. We must pick the things of life which can best have a place in our life.
"We hear of the life of service, the life of teaching, and other helpful lines. All are beautiful but all lose value in a room into a room with these here, lilies there and other flowers about that are beautiful. But if we get too many flowers the room becomes a hodgepodge of things I wouldn't want a pretty girl" would not ask for more.
"The greatest help in choosing the things that matter most is a rule of life. Of course you all have rules for going to psychology at 8:30, math at 10:30, chemistry at 1:30 perhaps but you do not make those rules."
Service to God, Bishop Moore gave first place in our rule; second he placed service to others.
"To get the most out of life, to live our life and do our duty we need a rule of life. An elastic rule, yes, a flexible rule, yes, but a definite rule." Example, he said, is the finest kind of service.

Women Impose Penalty on Selves for Breaking Rule
Recent Pan-Hellenic Party
Is Cause of Campus
for Next Three
Week-Ends
A self-imposed penalty of a campus for one evening during each of the next three week ends, was agreed upon last evening by the women who attended the recent pan-Hellenic event, an hour later than was authorized.
The meeting was called by the disciplinary committee of W. S. G. A. and all women who attended the party were asked to come. Those who left the party on time were excused, and those who remained at the affair over the course of the day of the committee, and made the above decision as regards themselves.
"If the pan-Hellenic organization were to allow such disregard of rules by their own group, others on the campus would feel that they could do likewise," commented Madge Wardell, c27,"president of W. S. G.A.
This ruling is to affect only the women who admitted past the age of 21, and to decide on the penalty themselves, according to the disciplinary commit-
Although the party was not given by the women alone, they assume the responsibility of breaking one of their own rules concerning the closing hour and giving them time in which they live, according to the chairman of the committee.
The penalty will be effective, starting Feb. 25, and the women must surprise one major date either Friday or Saturday, either week end for the next three weeks.

Pugilistic Tendencies of Present Congress Surpass Predecessors
Five Out of Six Fights During This Session Have Taken Place in House
(United Press)
Washington, Feb 10.—The 69th congress, expiring in two weeks, stands out from its predecessors, not only because of the problems, but for its populistic tendencies.
During the nine and one-half months it has been in session, no less than six fights or near fights have occurred. Having a larger membership and a greater quantity of young blood than the senate, the house naturally has provided the ring for all the affairs but one.
So frequent have encounters and near battles become in the last few days that the popular greeting among men is "Have there been any fight, today?"
Representative Butler, Republican, Pennsylvania, second oldest member in point of service, having served 15 successive terms, told the United States Senate in which there was more fighting or attempts at fighting than this one.
The brawn yesterday in the house district committee in which Representative Blanton, Democrat, from Texas grappled with Representative McCain, who had several spectators joined, was the most serious in house annals, as the record shows members attempt to engage in fistfights but never before have outlookers had the privilege of joining in and landing a blow or take-own.

Campus Additions Show Big Advance During Two Years
Auditorium Appropriation Is Largest Single Unit in University Program
The stadium is being completed with funds raised by the athletic association, and the Memorial Union building, a gift of friends of the University.
Improvement amounting to approximately eight hundred thousand dollars have been made in the last two years on the campus of the University of Kansas. In this figure is included the contract estimate for the last unit of Memorial Stadium, on which construction work was begun as part of the improvements are completed or well on the road to completion.
The largest single item is the appropriation allowed for the new auditorium. This amounts to $250,000, which is hardly enough to finish the structure as originally planned, so the balcony entrance wings on both sides are being off until an additional appropriation sufficient to construct the tower is obtained. The appropriation is the only new building on the campus in which steel grider construction is used in preference to concrete.
Memorial Near Completion
Finishing touches are all that remain to be applied to the new Memorial Union building, which was erected at a cost of nearly one hundred fifty thousand dollars. First ground was broken for the building two years ago, and considerable delay was experienced at first, but since last summer the work has progressed rapidly. The Union is unusual in that it is first floor great Aloe, the third floor on Mississippi Street, due to the slope of the Hill. A novel bit of excavation work was the result.
One hundred twenty thousand dollars were expended in the last two years on improvements and maintenance of buildings and grounds, access to the H. B. Hall, superintendent of building operations, and the University. This amount included $70,000 invested in new concrete paving on the campus, $30,000 in new heat tunnels necessary for the Union building and Watkins hall, and the remainder in landscape gardening, an upgrade of the University buildings.
Stadium Towers Built
The tower units for the stairlift, and Watkins dormitory for women, are two other projects which have grown from plans to realities in the
The paving program to date has left only one stretch of road on the campus unpaved. As soon as possible, the road from the power tower to the parking lot was paved with concrete, but at present is receiving a coat of cinders to hold back the mud until appropriation is made for the permanent pavement. The University also provides material side of the University, Mr. Bail cited the fact that the kilwantown consumption of electric power has increased from 209 in 1925, to much more power at the present time. Much more equipment is needed for storage equipment.
