Editor and Staff Now at World on Copy and Engraving for Annual

for Annual

"Subscriptions are coming in in large bunches," said Ryland Petty, business manager, this morning, "but there are still more than 2,000 students in the University who have not given their orders for the Jaskawker. I am confident that Thursday night, and I think tomorrow will see the record sales."
The Jayhawk staff consists of forty students, according to Frank Rising, editor, and he says that every department of the book is now being worked on. He expects to send a few to the engraver soon, and will have several pages of copy ready for the printer within a few days.
The art work on the book is being pushed to completion, according to Raising, in order that he may remove any unnecessary rash of gathering other material.
"I find that the Jayhawker entails an almost endless amount of work," stated Rising this morning, "and for most of us, it is necessary to be turned in to us early, to allow us time to check it over and to prepare it for the printer. Glosses of paper should be coming in to the office faster than they are at present."

Discuss Date Regulations
Miss Tenney Explains W.S.G.A. Rules to Y.W.C.A.
The date rule was discussed at some length. Whether the rule should be entirely abolished, or whether it should be amended, and how it should be enforced were some of the questions raised.
This rule, according to Miss Tenney, was adopted in 1912 by an almost unanimous vote of the women of the University, who felt the urgent need of such a law. When it was again submitted to student vote in 1920 it was approved. The fact that it was initiated by the voluntary legislature of the women students of the University and not by faculty regulation, and that its purpose is to protect the health of the students, were arguments presented by those in favor of the enforcement of the law.

HEYED WITH CHILDREN
As he left the church, entered the chamber and rushed into his arms. He gathered them in with a book of paternal pride.

Huze Sill Stone Falls
Fifty Feet Damaging
Journalism Library
Windows Are Broken by Chips of Stone; Several Persons Near Accident
A huge sill stone weighing almost two tons broke loose from the lifting device when it was being hoisted into place on the top floor of the new library building at 9:40 this morning, and ground damaging the roof of the journalism library and crushing some stone window cap on the side of the new building. No one was injured, but the property damage was estimated at about $550 by John Shea, an accountant of buildings and grounds.
In falling the stone narrowly missed the main portion of the journalism library roof and struck the ground in the narrow open space between the Jayhawk office and the Library. Chips from the stone broke the floor of the Jayhawk office caused several persons in the office to make a hazy exit.
Earlier in the morning a window in the office of Prof. W. A. Dill, of the department of journalism was broken when a chip from another stone crashed through it. Superintendent Sally Patterson drove to University property in both accidents would be repaired by the construction company.
The accident occurred when the hoisting apparatus stuck, causing the wire cable to slack. When the slack was suddenly taken up by the slipping wire, the jerk snapped the long stone, making it break near one end, and the two pieces fell to the ground.
Homecoming Plans Made
Flags and Special Illumination Will Decorate Street
Old Grads back for Home coming this year will find the city "dressed up in a new costume," he said. "The other company can be carried out."
According to the present plans an American flag is to be placed every twenty-five feet along the sidewall of Massachusetts street. These flags which are to be about three by six feet will be set into socketets that are to be drilled in the sidewall. In case this plan is used the Champion's flag will be the flags at wholesale and the marts for business men will buy the flags from the Chamber of Commerce, each man owning the flag in front of his store.
The advantage of this plan is the uniformity that would be obtained. The plan was used at Ottawa on Armistice day and proved to be very successful. The only hindrance is whether or not there is enough time to have all the sockets drilled in sidewalks.

Man Is by Nature Independent, Says Dr. Lyman Wilbur
Greatest Problem of Today Is to Apply Discoveries to Individual Needs
Education Must Meet Needs
"before long it will not only be unfashionable but also illegal to be sick," said Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, a professor of biology at University, in his address in conventation this morning. President WIILBur was introduced by Vice-Chancellor W. L. Burdick, of the School of Law, at the residence of Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
Man by nature is wonderfully independent, according to Doctor Wilbur, but his family and tribal responsibilities have developed his social skills and gotten away from certain fundamental biological problems," he said.
"Many of the problems of the human animal are the same as those of the lower animals, and center around food supply and housing, community and individual health, government and protection. To meet these responsibilities, we must have the physical ability, and ideals of service."
As Doctor Wilbur was formerly a practicing physician, he said that he preferred to dwell on the problem of individual and community health. "In the last thirty years," he said, "we have made more progress in the matter of disease than in the whole history of the race preceding. The reason is that we mainly the study of the life history of us do harm. With our present knowledge, yellow fever will soon join the passenger pigeon and the dodo bird.
"The greatest problem of the present day is to apply the discoveries that have been made to the needs and wants of the individual. Even such a change in perspective has false teeth have changed the world for hundreds of thousands of people.
"Each successful person carries the burden of a load of weaklings." Doctor Wilbur. "There are 1,500,000 sick people in the United Are we going to let this burden increase or try to try to solve the reason back of these weaklings and decrease the number?
Intelligence Required to Serve
"The college man who is satisfied by the dollar mark is not doing the job in front of him. An educated person should do something besides taking care of himself and his family. It requires sense and intelligence to serve. The greatest thing education brings is respect for the expert."
Intelligence Required to Serve "It is up to the members of a group like this University to solve this problem. It is facts, not opinions that determine where we are going as a people.
In closing, Dr. Wilbur extended an invitation to all students of the University to come out and visit Leland Stanford. He mentioned that the two universities are closely linked in the lives of noble men. The man at Stanford, Jürgen Pierick is at present a member of the group of Stanford. "We consider Chancellor Lindley one of our own far westerners," he said.
