Registrar Is Compiling Attendance Reports for Board of Regents
State Schools to Furnish Dat for Use in Distributing Appropriations
The monthly reports for the last year of student attendance at the University are being compiled at the registrar's office for the inspection of the Board of Regents. This report in full, includes all students not only in actual attendance, but all those who have been enrolled in courses such as those enrolled in correspondence work and those who have enrolled and then withdrawn.
Mr. Foster spent several days conferring with the state secretary of education in regard to the most efficient way filling out the monthly report blanks.
"No two schools fill out the blanks alike," Mr. Foster explained, "and it is very necessary that these reports be correct, in the face of the fact that state appropriations for the various schools are much more than some schools have less than their share in comparison with the number of students served, other schools more than their share of appropriations.
"By being served," Mr. Foster said, "I mean all those touched directly, no matter for how long, in the year."
"No actual helpful estimate of any state school's needs may be found," Mr. Foster ended, "until all of them agree to have记载 their monthly reports in a similar manner, which is the desire of the Board of Regents in this compilation of the monthly reports."

Adoption of Plan Depend Entirely on Students Themselves, Says Patterson

The different phases and aspects of the plan will be discussed." The engineers wish to emphasize that this is not particularly an honor system, but is rather a code which is being discussed, that is, one in which students help in the building, help in reports and readings, and in examinations the students would not feel it necessary to have an instructor in the room.
An arrangement would have to be made with the instructors in which help might be received in some unusually long reports. It is expected that the instructors will come half way
The freshman and sophomore classes are being excluded from this conversation at present, because it is felt that they do not have a deep enough understanding of the affairs at present; however, if the system does prove successful, it will probably be applied to the two lower classes.

Bobbed Hair Situation Becomes Complicated After Dean's Return
Tendency to Revert to Long Tresses May Be Offset by Miss Husband
The number of University women that are letting their hair grow out almost equals the number that have hobbled hair, according to a survey made from a few representative houses on the Hill. From the 280 women that actually expressed their views on the situation, 109 favored letting their hair grow to its original length; 119 still have hair that is too short and had a hair cut, and 15 now have long hair.
Miss Agnes Husband, dean of women returned from a holiday vacation in New York with several friends with a shingle bob. This act established two things unusual at the University; a tendency to return to boiled tresses and its first bobbed haired coat. Whether this development was due to adolescence or the present tendency to taboo shorn tresses is, according to latest reports from campus style authorities, a mooted question.

First All-Kansas Alumni Council Discusses Future of University at Gatherings on Hill Friday
Nearly Two Hundred Names Appear on Registration Book, Including Members of Board of Regents, Legislature, Four Full-time Executive Secretaries and Instructors
Topics relating to the forming of a constructive policy for the University, ranging from athletics to a retirement fund for instructors, were considered at the first all-Kansas alumni council held on the Hill Friday.
Clear and Empty Mind Is Better, Says Foster
Coming examinations seem to be the cause of the wan, dishearten appearance of students. It is not the effects of灸浴 but those approaching events which cast their shadows, for instance, when they are indoors far-reaching; they extend back to the first days of the semester when they should have darkened, ever so fairly, the bright days of light-hearted students whose days were free from any thoughts of study, and they creep forward to those much-to-be-dreared days when they shall stand up and too recently acquired knowledge.
"Do your studying now," is the advice given by George O. Foster, registrar. "Last minute cramming for examinations and short hours of rest have dire effects," he said. "Remember that it is better to go to an examination with a clear mind, even if there is nothing in it."
Alumni from all over the state were present. The registration book shows a list of nearly two hundred names. All four of the full-time executive secretaries attended. They are: Prof. L, N. Flint, who was the first secretary, serving in 1901; Miss Agnes Thompson, Alfred G. Hill, and Fred Ellsworth, the present secretary.
But there is yet time. Two weeks of grace offers opportunities for much repentance and hard study. The library will regain its popular, stern tone, will become, storers and many hours will be devoted to hard study.

The play was barred from England so Mr. Van Druken brought it to America last season. He was much happier with the success it made in America.

the work of the state service and the ways
for increasing the service of the Uni-
versity in helping develop the state's
resources.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley outlined the needs of the University in regard to the buildings and the personnel of the Regents in trying to establish the 10-year building program was discussed by W. Y. Morgan, head of the state Board of Regents. This plan involved all of the school buildings in the state.
"I believe that the cause for the low wage scale in the teaching profession," said C. W. Spencer, state senator and member of the Board of Regents, "is due to their love for other work.
"The problems to be met in the solution of this problem are: The problem of sufficient compensation, problem of securing continuity of office, and a retirement fund for the teachers," said Mr. Spencer.
Teachers Fund Favored Mr. Spencer said that one-third of the states had taken definite steps through such means as the Carnegie more than one-half of the states have favored at least some such means.
"Does the state owe the professors anything?" asked Mr. Spencer. "More should be said of the teachers who are contributing in many ways and in every walk of life. Indeed, it is time to give the obligation to the teaching staff."
"The securing of a retirement fund is a matter of co-operation. If we will pull together, we will find our security unund," declared the senator.
Dr. Oln Templin reported on the activities of the University Endowment Association. A report was given by Irving Hill on the collection of the expenditures of the K. U. Memorial Association.

State Doesn't Pay for Athletics
At the nite luncheon Friday at the commons, Dr. F. C. Allen said that Kansas was not paying much for the athletic education at the University.
The taxpayers have not been assessed a cent for Memorial Stadium,Memorial Park and other grounds. The athletic association purchased the latter with their own funds.
It was found that the state pays only half of the salary of Doctor Aleen. Dr. James Nalshim, professor of physical education, and three women instructors are paid by the Kansas taxpayers.
Commenting on the salaries of University professors, Chancellor Linderley said: "Kansas must know that if a professor is worth $12,000 a year to Yale, he must be worth somewhere near that amount to Kansas.
"Unless we awaken to the importance of the question of maintaining the personnel of the faculty on a high standard, Kansas will pay the penalty in a few years when the children of the school become University," continued the chancellor.
In the afternoon, the chancellor presented the 10-year building plan view, outlined the needs of the University, he mentioned the necessity of
