House Committee Seems to Favor Hospital Addition
Appropriation of $300,000 for Improvements in Kansas City Is Expected
Prospects for a $300,000 appropriation by the state legislature for improvements and extensions at the Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City, Kan., seem to be favorable as far as representatives is concerned.
A meeting of a sub-committee on the ways and means committee of the house was held yesterday, following an inspection of the hospital. The results of the meeting are expected to be favorable for the medical program which is being asked by the medical school of the University.
There is nothing definite on the probable way that the sub-committee will act. It must report its recommendations to the entire ways and means committee, which has the endowment of arranging the state budget.
The approval of the ways and means committee of both the house and the senate can be obtained before an appropriation can be made. The budget must then be signed by the governor. The ways and means committee of the senate has already inspected the hospital.
Committee Favors improvement Unanimous favor for an improvement program of some kind seemed to be the opinion of the committee. On member, R. L. Jackson, made an unqualified statement that he was in favor of the improvement program as suggested.
According to the program the $300,
$100 that is to be expend includes
$200,000 to build an additional ward
to the hospital and $100,000 to build
a nurse's home. Eighty additional
patients could be accommodated by
the new ward, while an annual rent of
$75,000 would be saved by the new
nurse's home.

The members of the committee are:
William Schoen, chairman, J. R.
Stapleton, W. L. Barrier, W. A. New-
rick, Mr. Jackson, George W. Plummer,
T. A. Pottier and Arthur W. Ecoton.
The only woman member of the
house of representatives, Miss Stella
B. Haines, accompanied the committee.
Discuss Transfer to Lawrence
On of the most important things that will probably figure in the discussion is the fact that the student will be transferred to Lawrence, so that it will be with the remainder of the University.
According to Mr. Schoen, a strong point, for keeping the medical unit in Rosdale is that the hospital is in a large city where it is always certain that it will be filled with patients at all times.
In discussing what action might be recommended, Mr. Schoen declared that so far he believed that the unit should be moved to Lawrence. He would say what effect, if any, this would have on a final appropriation in Romulus, in Rouseau.
A few words in connection with the trip to the hospital were spoken by each member of the committee. The praise of the hospital was unanimous, expressing surprise upon discovering such a worthwhile institution. '
If he appropriation is allowed the hospital will be guaranteed a structure of architectural beauty, was an assertion made by Mr. Plummer. The beauty of the present hospital has previously been lauded by Mr. Piummer. And the architecture would design a building in keeping with the present surroundings.

"Dealing in Future" will be Maze Fern Bauer'sfield's subject on Thursday, Feb. 17, in connection with "choose your career" week. During this week special areas are being helped help women by vocational guidance.
"I will make my talk broad enough," said Miss Bauerier, "to cover some of my own experiences and those of my business women of my acquaintance."
During the war Miss Bauerfield was employed by a railroad as a "cut man" and served in that position, such a position. It was her work to see that each handling station on the division received the right proportion of equipment under government control at the time.
She has spent many years doing welfare work. She served as executive secretary of the Topke Community Chest for two years, during which time she organized the council of social agencies and installed the social service exchange. At present she lives in Kansas City, Kan.
She spoke of her present work on the board of state censors of the movies, "I have been with the Kansas State Board of Review for motion pictures, for the past year. We are the 'Censor Board' of Kansas that works with that very mindworth white and appreciated in our state."
Miss Bainfield has received a great deal of publicity on account of her activities from her "bread and butter" jobs. She was the national vice president in Kansas of the Federation of Professional Woman for three years. She has visited the local club in Lawrence many times.
E. W. Anderson, of the School of Education at the University, will give information to prospective school teachers about the importance of student building tomorrow at 4:36p.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1927
Inter-Fraternity Party Criticised by Dean Husband
Student Adviser Requests Adherence to Closing Rule in Student Affairs
"If such rulings as the closing hour regulation are to be over-ridden it will break down the whole social structure in the University," said Miss Elisabeth Gillespie, who regarded the recent inter-fraternity party, given Jan. 14, which did not close at the authorized time. "The violation of the closing hour regulation is very serious offense for any University group to take upon themselves."
Affairs
At the meeting of the joint committee on student affairs last Tuesday, the objectionable features of the students were discussed at length by representatives from the University Senate, the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governance Committee.
Party Violated Rule 7
The most objectionable feature attributed to the partition of the rule governing student social affairs passed by the University Senate and the W. S. G. A. in 1915. This ruling stipulates that all authorized partion "must close at 12 p. m., except all University parties, the junior promode, the sophomore hop and one other," the school's organization or individual school, which may continue until 1 o'clock."
"If these rulings were consistently disregarded, this same group, which was the first violator, would be the first to protect the luxury of regulation, as the same objections would be raised by the Pan Holstein council as being proposed in a letter implying that the afternoon dance t beauties be abolished," said Miss Husband.
Dead Says Kate Is Liberal
Miss Hugh said that she expresses a commitment to the committee in saying that "the regulation as to the 1 o'clock closing hour is very liberal and none feel that there is any unfair restriction. For that reason it seemed all the more unreasonable for this group to violate their trust." The University Senate feels for its rulings, for the University and for the chaperones it provides for all social functions, as the Pan Henley council insists that the members of its organization uphold the traditions of the University and that they provide the right kind of social training for them.

Few Cases of Scalping on Enterprise Tickets Recorded This Season
Authorities Apprehend Three Faculty Member, Student and Outsider
Ticket scaling among the holders of the student enterprise tickets has been comparatively light this year, as employment rates have declined of the student enterprise committee.
Three instances of ticket scalping have been apprehended this year, one by a student, one by a person outside the school and one by a member of the faculty.
The first case was one in which a student of the University sold a merchant two tickets to a basketball game. The merchant stamped "not for sale." The merchant upon being refused admittance to the game took issue with the department of athletics instead of with the student, who had bought the sale, a student whom he knew.
The second case was the sale of an enterprise ticked by a non-University person.
In the case of the faculty membе the athletic office offered to pay 5 cents apiece for the tickets which wheelchair users would pay more than half what was paid by the holder of the enterprise ticket. Not content with 50 cents for the tickets, reliable information was obtained that the athletics sold another ticket for $1.00.
Dan Dyer expressed his appreciation of the attitude taken by the large majority of the enterprise ticket holders in conforming to the rules governing the use of the enterprise tickets.

New Radio Station to Be Completed Soon in Lawrence
Jackman Mills Programs
Will Not Interfere
With Operation
of KFKU
Lawrence will be the home of a new broadcasting station, when the broadcasting set of the Jenny Wren Flour company is installed at the Jackman mills within the next ten days. The work on the set has been progressing rapidly and according to forecasts, in all probability the program will commence before the end of this month.
A standard 6, a 1000 watts transmitter made by the Western Electric company, will be installed by the Graybar Electric company, and the towers and antenna are to be placed on top of the mill building. The sending station will be located on the third floor of the building. The receiving station will operate on a wave length of 392.8 meters as does station WDAF of Kansas City, Mo.
The station letters have not been determined but tentative plans have been made to use the letters WREN and it is hoped that these letters will be assigned by the United States Air Force for presentation as advertising for the Jenny Wren "Ready Flour," made by the Jackman mills, will be used.
H. W. Anderson, assistant manager of electrical engineering, has had charge of the installation of the set of controls for the control of O. W. Towner, C27.
Arrangements have not been entirely completed as to the announcement," said Mr. Jackman today, "but it will probably be someone from out of town. The programs to be rent on the air under the Jenny Wen manne are to be those of entertainment and as well as educational programs. The students will be rented from Lawrence and outside talent employed only when necessary. We are hoping to be connected with some of the eastern circuits."
According to Prof. G. C. Shanof the School of Engineering, this station will have twice as much power as KFKU, as KFKU operates from a 500 watt station at a wave length of 275 meters.
"The new station down town will in no way interfere with the program sent by the University as they are on different wave lengths and the station from the mills will undoubtedly connect us to the university at all times" - professor Shaul.
Radio expects say that the location of the new set is excellent as the sending power is stronger on the bank of a river.
Court Dismisses Charges
Hell Week Must Be Within Law,
Says Johns
The charge of trespass which was lodged against a Theta Tau professional engineering fraternity photo, leading to its clearing in police court this morning.
The student was arrested while prowing in the freight yards of the Union Pacific, Friday night. He was examining some merchandise cards with patrol officers, gave the excuse for his actions as "bell week activities."
The pledge was detained at police headquarters until Saturday morning when he was released on bond to answer charges this morning.
"The arrest Friday night, was extremely unfortunate for any hopeful fraternities might have in regard to the continuation of bell week activities," said Frank M. Dawson, men's student adviser.
The arrest was the first made since a meeting Thursday night of all presidents of both social and professional fraternities, with Chief of Police Will John. Chief John said that it will be necessary for him to take dramatic action unless something is done by the police, which is not possible activities and requirements within the law. He made it plain that he would tolerate but little more of the hell week unlawfulw. "The students seem unable to realize the danger that they are putting themselves in when they tread on public property during the year and it was only by good fortune that there was not one in the Union Pacific railroad yards Friday night."
