An all-University convoction will be held at 10:00 o'clock, at time Peter W. Dykema, dean of music at the University of Wisconsin, will speak on the subject, "Music for Every Man."

Weather Changes Normal According to C. J. Posey
There is nothing freakish or unusual about the weather conditions that have been prevalent the past few days, according to C. J. Posey, associate professor of geology and local meteorologist.
"The reason for the sudden changes in the weather is due to the high and low barometric pressures that have occurred lately. Yesterday the barometer was low and the tempera-
ture was high. The barometer last night a cold spell has been ushered in upon us," said Mr. Posey.
"These changes are to be expected during the months of December January, February, and March particularly in the Mississippi valley region. Last week when it was six o'clock, a group of men above in Alberta, Canada, and was caused by the high and low in the two places," he also continued.
Editors of Jayhawker Extend Deadline Date for Individual Glosses
With Extra High School Copies Sales Will Exceed Those of Past Years
January 25 is the new deadline set by the editor and business manager of the Jahwaker for individual pictures for the class sections. According to Ryland Petty, business manager, the glasses absolutely must be in by that date, as the material must be sent to the publisher.
This year's annual will have a section for each class of the University: Graduate, senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman. All of these sections are assured as enough reservations have already been made.
No definite deadline has been set for organization pictures, but the picture may be turned as quickly as possible. It is necessary though, said Petty, that the page reservation be in before Jan. 25 for each organization. This will assure the space and then time can be given for the picture.
More than 300 Jayhawkers have been ordered for the high school over the state. This amount, to gether with the subscriptions of the students, faculty of the University and townpeople, will boost the Jay hawker sales of this year above those of any previous year.
The Jayhawker office has been moved from the journalism building to room 3, central administration building. This change gives the staff and assistants much more room and according to the editor, work will progress much faster than it ever has this year.
Rehearsal Date Revised
Remedy Conflicts With Basket
ball Schedule
Dates for rehearsal of the Lawrence Choral Union have been revised to remedy conflicts with basketball games, according to Dean D. M. Kellogg. The eight home games are scheduled for Tuesday nights, the time for regular practice of the union, and as approximately 230 students and members of the faculty are in the chorus, it may be advisable to change conferring dates.
A meeting of the executive committee of the union was held Tuesday night before rehearsal, and recommendations were drawn up and submissions unanimously. Accordingly, the remaining rehearsals for January will be held Monday nights instead of Tuesday, on Jan. 14, 21, and 28. Durations for these meetings will be on Tuesday nights, with the exceptions of Feb. 11 and 25.
The rehearsal Tuesday night was exceptionally well attended, according to Dean Swarthot, and renewed the play. "In the 'Messiah' choruses, the old choruses were gone over, and work was started on several of the remaining. Elimination of members failing to show proper interest has begun," she said. "The choir must be regular in attendance, according to the director."
Twenty-four horses have been added to the University of Missouri R. O. T. C. equipment. The horses were purchased especially for the field artillery unit there by Maj. J. F. Taulbee of Kansas City.
Plan Which Won Peace Prize Will Be Balloted Upon
University Students to Vote
on Scheme to End War;
Will Distribute
Ballots
The *Bok Peace Plan*, which is to be voted on shortly over the United States, offers a solution of one of the most vital questions before the American people, and is one of 22,165 plans turned in to the jury, representing the views of hundreds or thousands "individual," states Edward V. Bok.
Copies of the peace plan will be distributed among the students and faculty Friday morning at the 10:30 class period. "For those who do not have such extra copies of the plan and baskets, we ask that you W. Y. C. W. A. Y. M. C. A. Dean Husband's, and Dean Dye's office at any time," said Dean Dye. Dean Dye stated further that the students are asked to consider the plan im-mentation and to cast their ballot as favorably as favorable, according to their belief.
Would Join Justice Court
The plan proposes first that the United States should adhere to the Permanent Court of International Justice for the reasons and under the conditions stated by Secretary and resident Harding in February, 1923.
Second, that, without becoming a member of the League of Nations as at present constituted, the United States government should extend its present co-operation with the League and propose participation in the work togetherly and Council under the following conditions and reservations:
That moral force and public opinion should be substituted for the military and economic force originally implied in Articles X and XI of the Monroe Declaration, that the United State accepts the League of Nations as an instrument of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere with political questions of policy or the administration of any foreign state.
There will be no obligations under the Versailles Treaty: that the United States will accept no responsibilities under the Treaty of Versailles, and that the United States press has authorized such action. The United States proposes that admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing state or joint and that receives the favorable vote of two-thirds of the Assembly.
Would Revise International Law
As a condition of its participation in the work and counsel of the League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Council consent to the international development and development of international law. The plans that were submitted for consideration by the jury came from every group in American life. Some were obviously from life-long students of history and international law. Some were from persons who have studied little, but who have themselves seen and felt the horror of war. All expressed the same concern as the international organizations of the earth to admit frankly that war is a crime and thus withdraw the legal and moral sanction too long permitted it as a method of settling international disputes.
Gardening Around Ad. to Be Completed Soon
Landscape gardening around the Administration building is nearing completion. Trees have been set out in the landscaped area of a metrical m灌木rybots plots which line the walks and fit singly into advantageous corners.
