Engineering School Meets to Discuss Honor Code Plans
Upperclassmen to ASP
Proposed System First;
Tau Beta Pi Is
Sponsor
Definite steps toward the adoption of an honor code at the School of Engineering were taken yesterday afternoon at 4:30 at a meeting of approximately fifty students representing the junior and senior classes of the Engineering School. The gathering took the form of an open forum, and several other presentations therein concerning the advisability of establishing an honor system.
Prof. H. A. Riese told of an honor system in another school, pointing out its defects as well as advantages. He described briefly the plan followed in the University of Texas, and declared himself in favor of a system that would apply only to the two upper classes. He also stressed the opinions concerning the plan.
Dean McGee, president of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity that is sponsoring the movement, out-selling its products would be suitable for the school. He said he believed that any honor system to succeed must apply to school work outside the classroom as well as learning at least first, to the two upper classes.
The group voted to hold an all-en-
engineering convoction soon in order to
present to the remainder of the school
complete plans for the proposed
system.
James Meisner said that honor systems as they usually exist are decided one-sided, and declared that an honor code in the true sense of the word should apply to faculty as well as to students.

Ancient Dances Technical
Instructor Advances Theory on Greek Dancing
Studies of Greek art, sculpture, and literature, have led Miss Lillian B. Lawler, instructor in the department of Latin and Greek, and archaeologists at the University, to advance a theory of the interpretation of Greek dancing.
At a recent meeting of the Archeological Institute of America at Cambridge, Mass. Miss Lawler interpreted and illustrated her conclusions as to how the ancient Greeks danced. Her demonstrations were chiefly by postures with the arm, although she interpreted several dances. She described the famous and elaborately worked out theory of Maurice Emmanuel, Emmanuel, who was the author of the book "The Ancient Greek Dancers" studied Greek only, and advanced his theory, while Miss Lawler has not only studied Greek, but has also studied dancing, Emmanuel, who was familiar with the French ballet, found evidence in Greek dance that he had seen in classic dancers had followed a formal technique and on occasion, practiced toe dancing.
"My conclusions, in general." Miss Lawler said, "are that Greek dancing was much less formal than ours, and in many cases amounted to mere processions; that the code of gestures, on the other hand, were much more ancient Greek danced not with his feet alone, but with his whole body. There has been much controversy as to whether the Greeks danced with knees straight or bent. My study seems to show that they preferred the bent knee at variance with Emmanuel's theory. Another study shows that the Greeks danced, which Emmanuel thinks the Greeks practiced, and which my study tends to cause me to doubt."
Miss Lailer's studies have enabled her to reconstruct with archaeological exactness the type of dance practiced by the Greek bacchantes.
At a similar meeting in Iowa about three years ago, Miss Lawler interpreted a number of dances in native Greek costume.

R.O.T.C. Eliminates Wheezes ard Develops Manly Physiques From Hopeless Human Wrecks
"Resolved that this house oppose the E. O. T. C. in American college and universities," a comedy in six parts, was presented last night by members of Prof. E. C. Buchler's debate class.
Charles Givens, Charles Grounds, Kenneth Corder, and David Evans played the principal roles to perfection, rocking the audience with laughter at times and at other times bringing tears, (of mirth).
Givens, in his opening speech awed the audience to his side, showing it the dire results of such a breach, and threatening evil tendencies arising therefrom. "Better by far," said Givens, "to subject one to the physical education department than endure the horrible tendencies of the military department."
Grounds, of the negative, in his opening speech was for liberty or death. He explained the wonderful benefits derived from his work in the military department. He went in, hollow-chested and stoop-shouldered and came out n real man. (Personal testimony.)
In the cross examination of Givens by Corder, many startling facts were brought to light. Givens flatly denied that he was ever connected with an R. O. T. c unit but did admit that he was formerly a member of the Boy Scouts of America. Wheepeen Corrison of America, who joined militaristic tendencies but was again at a loss when Givens replied that he went in to learn how to hike properly.

Emily Ferris Back From Six Weeks Relief Work
Miss Emily Ferris, assistant to Dr. Florence Sherborn in the Kansas Bureau of Child Research, returned Monday, Jan. 10 from Illinois, where she has had charge of the relief work of the American Red Cross for the past three weeks. She was cared for these people who were injured in the flood of the Illinois river valley.
Miss Ferries was first sent to Beardstown and later to Havana, Ila. The case of each family is carefully handled in the Red Cross award, 14 points of the history of the family, as to its finances and health are determined. The Red Cross award is based on these facts. They have been awarded for provision and investigation program.
Most of the people who needed help are tenant farmers on large estates in the river valley. The levers of the river were flooded away, and it has not been possible to build them back because the ground has been so wet, and the weather was too dry for crops to source of income for 16 months as it will not be possible for them to grow a crop until the levers are constructed.
Previous to her work in Illinois Miss Ferris was in charge of the relief work of the American Red Cross in Allen county, Kan. for six weeks

In refutation Grounds displayed what great versatility he possessed. "On going into the R, O, T, C," said Aaron, whose sunken chest and stented shoulders, wheezing like a 'Frioce train pulling into the station, but now, look what military training has done for him; his dresses did not deny that he still wheeled.
Corder in his plea wowed eloquent, condemned the affirmative for their pacifism, and thanked the audience for its kind attention.
The refutation made by Givens was commendable. By means of the R, Q, T, C. manual he refuted part of the argument of the opposition.
Evans, in his plea, undoubtedly won the debate for the affirmative. With sound reasoning and by means of a memorable speech, along with conflicting statements issued by the department of war, he made a brilliant plea which gave this new type of debate enough value to persuade hisabilities when seriously worked out.
