The Lapland number of the Soul Owl will go on sale on the campus to mornery morning, according to Guy C Graves, editor.
"In case of inclement weather the salesmen will be stationed in the entrances of the buildings as during the sale of the last issue," Graves said. "Although the system handicaps the salesmen somewhat in that they have to resort to a more or less pantomime method of selling, it is a great deal easier." The students are convenient for the students, not to mention the 'newest' themselves."

K. U. Organization to Play at K.C. Feb.17, 18 and 19
Kansas Players to Present "If" and "Candida"
at Shubert
Theater
Preparations for the appearance of the Kansas Players at the Shubert theater in Kansas City Feb. 17, 18, and 19 are well under way, according to Prof. Allen Crafton, director of the company.
"This engagement at the Subbute," said Professor Crafton, "is the largest undertaking we have ever contracted for. "If," one of the two plays to be presented requires ten scene shifts more than twice the usual number needed, according to Professor Crafton.
The basement of Green Hall looks more like the scene room of a theater than a meeting place for the purmurs of law.
Materials designed by Directors
Professor Crafton, as general director of the Players, has designed and developed a book to be used for the two players. Written by Robert J. Calderwood and Mrs. Crafton he has also conceived and ∆ signed all the contents to be used. All items are made in the baseament of Green hall.
The appearance of a company other than a strictly professional one in the Shubert has aroused much comment both here and in Kansas City. It is the first time that any such company has presented any performance at the Shubert during the legitimate season. Two years ago the Kansas City Thunder played for one week but it was after the close of the legitimate season.
Indications from Kansas City, according to Professor Crafton, lead to a greater emphasis on university will back the engagement to the utmost. Many of the students in the University at the present have expressed the intention of attending a conference.
"Although the Players are making their entrance into the Shubert on a entirely professional basis, it will be necessary for them to have a large amount of support caused by the heavy expense incurred through the construction of scenery and the making of costumes," and Professor Crafton. The dramatic editor of the book provides the players every possible support and is obtaining the patronage of various Kansas City civic organizations. The casts for "Candida" and "1," the two plays to be presented, will be announced in a few days and according to Professor Crafton they will probably be the best ever assembled by a local organization. The casts will include names of several of the students of some of the best student admirers.

County Clubs Slow in Turning Money Over to Jawhawk Manager
It only takes a few cents from everybody in the county to have a Jaywhacker placed in their high school, according to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association. This is one of the most efficient methods of advertising the University to the high school students.
A total of two hundred dollars has been turned in so far this year from the different county clubs, for the purchase of Jayhawkers to be placed in the high schools in counties. Last year through the efforts of the county club workers there was collected $37,000 out over the state, the sum of $690.00.

Atheistic Teaching Blamed as Cause of College Suicides
Church Educational Leader Think Modern Beliefs Cheapen Value
of Life
(United Press)
Chicago, Feb. 3. - The vigorous pace of the modern age plus an athletic tendency in modern education was blamed today by educational leaders of the Methodist Church for the number of suicides among college students.
"When a generation starts out in quests of thrill it is bound to become satisfied and disappointed." Dr. Dean Wilson, president of Boston University said.
“If a person is taught to believe he is only an animal he will act like an animal,” the college president said. “He should learn not to react hereafter and in the present belief of God and in the dignity of life he will have but little incentive to try to understand.”
"More than 90 per cent of the instructors in American colleges are atheists," Hopkins said.
Dr. John Henry Hopkins, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, believes the atheistic tendency of modern education is one of the causes.
Bishop F. D. Leete of Indianapolis believes the modern social tendencies cause the large number of suicides
"The awful pressure of our social life has much to do with this suicide question," he said. "It is not a moral question at all. The youth of today can't stand it. They get more out of life in 10 years than I ever got in 25. The quantity is too much. The parents think. There is no parental control."
Dr. F. F. Fleming of the Atoneon Church said he believed the great number of suicides was attributable to the failure of young people to take an scientific study to religion. He believed this is due to a spiritual laxness.
Missouri Increases Fees
Because the appropriations for the last biemium were so reduced, it may be necessary to raise the semester fees at the University of Missouri to $50, in order to maintain the university.
Appropriations to University Greatly Reduced
Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, president of the university, says, "Since the University of Missouri and other state colleges are almost the only educational opportunity open to ambitious students financially, it is not in the interest of democracy that it be made more difficult to attend the university. The increase in the fees, coupled with the increased cost of living, has made the financing of a year in college a very expensive for a large portion of our population.
"The University of Missouri certainly should never get into a position where it becomes a school open only to the well to do."
