Timid Valentinos Deserted
Markley Dating Agency Closes Shop With Gain
The Markkey dating agency at the College of Emporia is going out of business. The agency, organized and conducted by Miss Mercery Markkey, an Oklahoma student, has dated for baskful men students, had had more business than it can handle. As a result, Miss Markkey has closed her books and the timid young Valentinos who have been spared the coarse looking mates for movies will have a shift for themselves.
Miss Markkey secured partners for the Emporia students at the rate of 25 cents for ordinary entertainments, such as the movies and class parties, but for the more formal school functions she charged 50 cents.
The idea spread far beyond the campus. Miss Markley has received letters from New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and other sections of the country.
"I wanted just a local business, not a national commercial bureau," she declared today. "So I will sell out for $2. If no one offers me that much I guess I will just close up and quit." Miss Markley says her profits were $6 and six proposals of marriage.

Student Council to Fill Vacancies at Next Meeting
Petitions Are Filed by Four College Men and Two From Engineering School
S six petitions for vacancies in the Men's Student Council have been submitted to Jack McLain, secretary. The men petitioning are: College, Tom Poor, Homer Smith, Ralph tower and Frank Rinke, Engineer-, Leland Browne and Edmone lose.
To Consider Qualifications
"The qualifications on which the men will be judged are their character, and the part they are taking in the activities on the campus. Each petition will be carefully considered on il points before a decision is made that will fill the vacancies," said McLain.
The petitions will be voted on at he regular council meeting Wednesday night, according to Melain. In order to be qualified each petition had to be signed by twenty-five representative men on the campus.
"According to the by-laws and constitution of the Men's Student Council there should be one representative for every 200 students in a school or department. Wednesday night the question will be brought up and voted on as to whether there shall be a reapportionment. If so, the college will be entitled to two more representatives," said McLain.
Men to be Appointed
If the motion is carried the vacancies will be filled by appointment by a Men's Studies Council until the meeting, when they will be filled in the regular way. It was thought by the Council that this method would be better than petitioning, since these are new offices and should be filled by the vote of the student body.
"We welcome the petitions from as many as possible. It gives us a larger group of men to choose from and it is our aim to select the man who will render the best service to the student body," said Stanley Learned, president of the Men's Student Council.
The regular meeting will be held Wednesday night at Green hall at 9:30.

Professor O'Leary Lectures on Coeval Literary Criticisms
Bickerings Show Less Primitive Manners Than Are Usually Imputed o Ape
"It is a matter deeply to be regretted that literature, which should tend to unite men, should be made the occasion of disagreements, reversions to manners for which the best we can say is that they are certainly somewhat less primitive than, by a chance, the habit of assembling to the ape and the tiger," said Prof. R.

MacDowell Colony Discussed in Talk by Margaret Lynn
Conception and Execution of Memorial Express Fitting Tribute to Composer
The memorial to Edward MacDowell was the topic discussed by Miss Margaret Lynn, professor of English, in a radio talk over WDAP, Monday night. "The MacDowell colony, situated among the lovely timbered hills of Vermont, said, 'is a memorial so fine in coneation and so finally executed that in itself it expresses gratitude for the life of the man whose name it bears.'" "Some years before his death, Edward MacDowell became owner of an old homestead in the valley where he built 'his house of dreams untold.' As he worked there in perfect quiet and satisfaction he conceived the desire that other artists might enjoy the same. He began the plan before his death and after his death there seemed no more appropriate thing to do than
Colony Hall Once Barn
"The old farm was given up to the purpose, and a considerable sum which had been prepared for Mac-Dowell's use by the Edward MacDowell Memorial Association was also appropriated. Others gifts came in other ways."
"The whole property now consists of five hundred acres and a number of permanent buildings, half a dozen old apartments, fifteen or twenty studios. The chief building, Colony Hall, with some sleeping rooms, a library, a dining room, and a large assembly hall, was, after the war, the most important century barn," she said.
Merit Only Commit.
The land lies its hill and lawn and is usually all covered with soft-silting grass or spruces. Through this the solid little studies are scattered. The central houses provide every necessary comfort and each adds some noble view of New Hampshire forests and mountains. To the west of the place lies Monadnock, and to the east the blue slopes of Bad Mountain.
"This is the home of the new famous MacDowell colony. Letters, composers, painters, and sculptors apply for the privilege of coming for a term of weeks. No school or cult has special representation in this country." He is forwarded. The committee accepting applications considers only the merit of the worker as shown by what he has already accomplished or what is vouched for by judges of his own art. After his application is granted, there is no question of him, no suspicion of him, no need to studio, and then—works. He pays a modest price for board—the rest is outside of any price."

Colored slides depicting life and conditions in Russia were shown by George Suderman, c24, Monday afternoon in room 106 West Ad. Wr, Suderman was born in Russia and attended school there until he was twelve. The pictures used were obtained from missionaries.
About sixty slides were shown, picturing Russian court life before the war, Russian churches and church possessions, peasant life and farm implements, and various Russian buildings.
"conditions in Russia are very miserable," said Mr. Suderman, "especially in the cities, where many people are starving. However, conditions are greatly improved," he added, "particularly in the southern Russia, and to be exact, these people are able to help themselves."
"The system of government is practically the same as before the war," Mr. Sudderman said, "about the only difference being that government is by the working class instead of the middle class. The old system of administration is still maintained with secret police and the old Czarish officers.
"A very small per cent of the people in Russia are educated, although the number who can read and write have greatly increased since a great war." The army. Only ten per cent could read and write before the war."
Smith Urges Vaccinations
Those Failing to Heed Warning Must Pay Expenses
"We are anxious that all students come in and be vaccinated for smallpox and typhoid fever," said Dr. E. J. Hammond, the chief medical officer, this morning. As both are preventable diseases, students who neglect to take these precautions, and who contract these diseases will miss out on receiving expenses incurred in their treatment.
The number of students who have been in for treatment, according to a check made just before Christmas, are four and were in at the same time last year.
Although there have not been as many operations this year as last, it is due, however, to the fact that the hospital could accommodate only those who needed immediate attention.

Majority Favors Bok Peace Award; K. U. Vote Is Light
Only 183 in University Who Demonstrate Interest in National Issue Dyer
—Dyer
"Final count of the bailors on the Bok peace plan discloses the fact that only 183 students and teachers of the University are interested in the great problem of Amor car (the love). Out of the 183 votes cast lie in favor of the plan, and 33 were against it. Professor E. F. Engl. head of the advanced standing of the *College*, said: "The thing with amor car makes me less interested in Bok peace." The fact is the fact that during vacation I read "The Americanization of Edward Bok." This book is written by Bok himself and it tells how a foreigner can become critically interested in the greatest achievement that any individual can do to get people interested in this great problem."
