Advisory System Here Among Best, Lawson Declares
Contact Between Student and Faculty Closer Than in Other
Schools
"Probably no other institution of its size offers as many opportunities for the students to see their instructors for conference in regard to their work as the University of Kansas," said Prof. B. Paul B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College, in speaking of the advisory system at the University.
"A fine group of faculty members who have been specially chosen for this work, have their whole souls i it and are giving many hours of the time to advising underclassmen," he said.
FOUR PAGES
The advisory group for this year is composed of eight men and seven women. They have been selected for this work because of their knowledge of the work at the University, the human contacts which they have established, and their fondness for such a project, according to the dean
Plan Being Changed
The plan for the freshmen advisers is slowly being changed, Mr. Lawson said. This year the new students were given an opportunity for a pre-enrollment conference with the advisers. On enrollment day they again saw an adviser, although in most cases not the same one.
Conferences at Any Time
Under the new plan the student will have the same adviser for the freshman and sophomore years in the University. In this way, the faculty member will be able to establish a more personal contact with the student and will become a friend as well as adviser.
Conferences at Any Time Underclassmen are expected to see their teachers at conferences, not term, although the faculty members are available for conferences at any time during the semester. The three times that conferences are required are at enrolment, at mid-semester when the nuvaders are given the grades, and during term when the student may plan his course for the next term.
"Just to show how the system is working," he continued, "Miss Nuen-Schwander had 21 women make out schedules and report problems. Of this number, 18 went right through with the original program; one had to change on account of a failure; one had changed only once; and only one had a schedule conflict."
The work of advising is not confined to these 15 faculty members, however, Doctor Lawson said. Dean Branitt is in his office all days and is available for conferences. Miss Neuen-Schwender and Professor Lawson are in the office in the afternoons, particularly for giving advice to all students in their classes, having especially help for the freshmen.
Re-adjustments at Mid-Semester
Re-adjustments at Mid-Semester
"We have a three-fold check on the students. Our mid-term grades are at all low, they are sent home to the parents so that both the parents and the student are aware of the danger. Not only are funking grades sent, but also an excessive number of students in this way, the parents, the adviser, and the office each has a check on the student.
"Adjustments in the schedules are made at the mid-term. If the class work is too heavy, the student may be advised to drop some of it. If he is doing outside work, less time on it may be the recommended course. Shapes at mid-term are able to raise their grades before the end of the semester. This system of advising the students cuts down the number of flunks considerably.

Teacher's Personality Is Neglected Factor, Dean Kent Declares
Education Graduate Students and Faculty Hear Former School Head
Raymond A. Kent, who is now Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences of Northwestern University at Evanston, IL, spoke here yesterday to the faculty and graduate students of the School of Education on the topic, "Neglect Factor in Teaching." The School of Education at the University of Kansas. He left in the fall of 1923.
Dean Kent named as the neglected factor the fact that the teacher's personality determines in a large measure the readiness with which the student learns, and the knowledge of subject matter and knowledge of method are very necessary in the teaching process. He pointed to the fact that workers in education today must do every kind of job in order to have personalities in the prospective teachers.
Dean Kent left Lawrence immediately after his address for Topeka where he attended the Kansan schoolmasters' banquet at the Jaahawk hotel. He was the leading speaker on their program at that time. In address he discussed some of the important phases of college administration.

Latest Tony Sarg Marionette Show to Be Here Feb. 9
Ali Baba's Puppet Thieves and Clever Elephant Lead Program by Dolls
Tony Sargis the marionettes are to appear here at the University in two performances to be given next Wednesday afternoon and evening, Feb 9, at 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. in Robinsor rymmansion.
Although the presentation is not a musical one it was thought that it deserved a place on the School of Fine Arts program. "It is a most unusual one for woodheadened maquettes in Swearthtown, and those who have seen the versatile marionette caves around their tiny stage in such plays as 'Don Quixote' and 'Treasure Island' will appreciate seeing them in their newest production, 'All Baba and the Forty Nineteen' from the Arabian Night" legend.
Mature for children
The afternoon performance, according to Dean Swarthout, is more for children, and the evening performance of adults, although there is no restriction upon adults attending the afternoon performance,
"Everybody enjoys puppets and very few have not seen the famous 'Punch and Judy' that has always been so popular."
Matinee for Children
"This popular fantasy of old Bagd lends itself particularly well to marionette interpretation," said Dean Swearthot, "and from all accounts Mr. Sarg and his skilled staff of workers have surpassed themselves in this, as has their teacher. This is what is said to abound with fascinating puppet tricks as well as boast of the most marvellous doll ever devised. Her name is 'Morgiagna,' the beautiful slave girl who dances for the amusement of All Baba. To manipulate this puppet it requires 32 strings operated by two experienced operators. It takes five minutes to be real dancers themselves in order, to convey the impression of real dancing talent to the marionette they operate.
Elephant Is Clever
"The play also contains many puppet animals, the most important of which, perhaps, is the white elephant which the Sultan rides. This animal can do all the tricks that a real elephant can do, manipulating his trunk and eating an apple much as a real elephant does.
Beautiful scenery and elaborate lighting effects help to create the illusion of reality on the miniature puppet stage. An excellent musical setting also helps to make the performance enjoyable."
"The Three Wishes" and other special numbers will be given for the children's matinee. Tickets for the marionettes are on sale at the fine arts office and the Round Corner Drug store.
Program Reaches Many
The longest telephone call was received from Burton Sears, Chicago. The most distant listener was J. R. Garrison, A. B., 20' Worcester, Mass. Other replies were scattered over 15 states, including Idaho, Montana Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Arivona.
Several replies were received at the alumni office from the program broadcast from KFKU and from WDAF, the Kansas City Star radio station, on Kansas Day, Jan. 29. These replies were sent by letters, commending the program and the matter in which it was presented.
Kansas Day Broadcast Bring Numerous Replies
According to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, this program will become a yearly feature, due to the fact that the alumni and former students who listened in this year were grown up with this experience so not many replies this year, it is known that many alumni expressed their appreciation to friends and indirectly it came to the University.

Kansas Grapplers to Meet Wildcats Tomorrow Night
Wrestlers to Manhattan in Opening Contest; Two Veterans on Team
The University of Kansas wrestling team will have its first meet of the year tomorrow night when Looka-baugh's men tangle with the Kansas Aggie grippers at Manhattan. Kansas wrestlers under Conch Guy Lockhaugh have been in heat for months, and members of the team were chosen after an elimination tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
The Jayhawker coach believes that the way to get the best out of his men is to have them wrestle for places on the team before each meet and he follows this plan throughout the season. Thus a man will have a chance to show his ability before each match by going to place on the team. This plan keeps each man fighting for place and aids in discovering new talent.
Team Is Inexperienced
Team Is Inexperienced
In the tryouts held for this meet, the competition was unusually small. Lookabaugh said this morning. The Kaiser team was so much stronger of the men will be engaging in their first valley match tomorrow night, yet the team looks better now than it did at the end of the season last year. If the wrestlers as they have been in practice, they will form a strong team. The team that will meet the Aggies is composed of the following men: 115 lb, class; James Welch; 125 lb, class; Wendell Dungan; 135 lb, class; Liam McFarland; 145 lb, class; Tom Cox; 158 lb, class; Leiland McFarland; 175 lb, class; Captain Russell Hays; heavyweight class, Vie Hill.
Hays and Hill Letter Men
Hays and his twin Letter Man
Captain Hays was in all the matches,
last year and is a seasoned man.
He was a letter-man for the 1925
squad, and competed last year.
McFarland and Dungan were both
squad members last year and each
wrestled in one meet, but neither are
letter-men. Cox, McKenny and Welch
are new men and have never been in
valley competition.
The Aggies have had three meets this year and lost all of them. Oklahoma Aggies and University of Oklahoma won rather easy victories over the Aggies through tough time and only won the meet by winning the last match. Although the Aggies have lost all of their meets they have the advantage of having more experience will make them a hard for Kansas to meet in its first tussle.
Press NOT TO SEE.
Freeze the night of last year,
could not get in shape for the trouss,
will be ready for the next meet.
Gordon Morris, another experienced grappler, was also unable to tryout for the Agiec meet.
Scoring in wrestling is done in the following manner. Each bout lasts for 10 minutes, unless a fall takes place before then. The winner of a fall receives five points, a decision on the part of the judges counts three points, and in case of a fail, the judge awards an additional a half point. Coach Lookahaugh announced that the wrestlers would wear leathers only at the home meets.
The schedule for the remainder o the season is:
Feb. 12, Missouri at Columbia.
Feb. 19, Iowa State at Ames.
Feb. 25, Nebraska at Lawrence.
March 3, Kansas Aggies at Law
March 11 and 12, Valley meet at Lawrence.
