Arant Criticizes Student Conduct Toward Freshmen
NUMBER 20
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1923
Dean Declares This Causee Trouble Between Schools of Engineering and
Law
That the recent practices on the part of the law students in subjecting freshmen to improprietious treatment has caused exceeding embarrassment to the administration of the law school, Mr. Armit frankly reprimanded the offenders in general. It is beneath the disrespect specially the law student, to even notice the headgear of the first year men, the dean further pointed out.
Must Stop "Horse-Play"
In contrast to the attitude of the School of Law, a letter from the School of Engineering faculty and students, in which the deep sorrow of the rival school, in regard to the death of a law student, Tom D. Johnston, was expressed and an offer of services was extended, as well as a request that the School of Education be in apposition tendered. Following the reading of the latter, Dan Arant recommended that at the convening of the separate classes, appropriate resolutions be drawn up.
Believing that the continuance of these maltreatments will only lead to friction between the School of Law and the School of Engineering, the dean urgently recommended that the law students quit the "horse-play" and try to establish a better reputation for the school than that which is associated in the minds of the majority on the campus.
Temporary Council Formed
A temporary student council of
school, which will plan a smoker to
the faculty this week.
That the various classes designate representatives for an election of the student council of the School of Law, which is chaired by a senior councillor, was suggested by the dean. In conclusion, Dean Arant urged the students to be considering their attitude on the "Honor System," and again recommended that they pay particular attention to their conduct while on the Green hill sten.

Citizens Patronize Free Clinics Conducted by Association Throughout State
Tuberculosis Society Discusses Child Health at Annual Meeting
The Kansas State Tuberculosis Association held its annual meeting and workers' conferences here Monday at the Unitarian Church. Last year, 400 patients were in carrying out its campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis in Kansas. Approximately 90 per cent of this amount was from the sale of the Christmas sales with which event organizers report made before the association.
Doctors and nurses are employed by this association to hold free clinics throughout the state. More than two hundred such clinics were held last year in which 5,500 citizens of Kansas were given free examination. The Association supplies health and playground equipment to Kansas schools, such as scales, drinking fountains, individual towels, and playground equipment, and also prepares a weekly health article for the use of all Kansas papers.
Dr. MaBeile True, of Topka, who has specialized in work with school children, told of conditions among children of pre-school age. The health of the child of this age is apt to deteriorate rapidly as it grows older, and there is much misunderstanding concerning these young children, according to the response True-Taylor to the Modern Health Crusade conducted by the Kansas State Tuberculosis Association.
Dr. Seth L. Cox and Dr. Charles I. Lerrigo, also of Topeka, told o he work done by the Association.

Chamlee Charms Audience in First Recital of Series
Voice of Power and Beauty Capable of Great Range and Deep Feeling in Rendition
Mario Chamile, who has been hailed as the logical successor to Caruso, appeared last night at Robinson gymnastium in the presence of representatives for Charles's magnetic personality won his audience from the beginning. His informal attitude on the stage, and perfect good humor throughout made him an obvious favorite.
Capable of great strength and power, his voice still held quality when in the lowest and most delicate of songs. His perfect enunciation made his songs all the more enjoyable. The majority of his songs were in English. The program was not heavy.
Actor As Well As Artist
In the more serious numbers, his mood accorded with the spirit of the song, and in the lighter numbers, he displayed a delightful sense of humor, "On Sunday," by Frank Waller, an encre, sent a ripple of laughter through the audience.
After Chamlee had sung "Une Triste Sole," the audience was husked a second before it burst into a rage. The crowd, in grim garb, "Una Furtiva Lagrima," Elisir D'Amore by Donzetti, considered one of the most difficult tenor aras, he sang with perfect ease. This was accepted by any but an Italian tenor.
Generous with Encores
A group of songs on Italy, by Winter Watts, a young American who was given the great honor of the prize of Rome, composed the song "Back to the stage twice after it. He was extremely generous with encores, and eructions in giving them.
At the last moment, Mr. Chamblea was forced to change his accompanist, and instead of Mr. Quirk, the band of Kansas City was at the piano.

Fire Prevention Day Is Observed in Many States
State Fire Marshal Talks to Chamber of Commerce; Department Makes Trial Run
Fire prevention will be emphasized by Elmer Scott, state fire marshal, in his address before Chamber of Commerce members at a dinner meeting at 6:30 p. m. Tuesday. This day is National Fire Prevention day and anniversary of the great Chicago fire.
At 8:15, following the address of Mr. Scott, the Lawrence fire department will make a run to the Eeke building, which will be lighted on the third floor and on the roof with red fire. The fire hose will be run in the main fire and the aerial ladder will be used to rescue someone from the roof.
Many Lives Lost Last Year
The Chicago fire of 1871 caused greater loss than any previous fire in the history of the United States. It has only been surpassed by the San Francisco fire of 1916. It is estimated that last year the lives of over 400,000 people were lost and property valued at approximately one-half billion dollars was destroyed by fires, many of them preventable.
To reduce this tremendous annual destruction, it was decided a number of years ago to set aside a day to be known as National Fire Prevention Day. Oct. 9, the anniversary of the starting of the Chicago confederation and by proclamation of the President of the United States and many state governors, it has been observed for that purpose.
Week Has Been Set Aside
As one day is such a limited time to give to the subject, a period of seven days ending Oct. 13 has been set aside as Fire Prevention Week, and the community given to the observation of the week. Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, at the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, are taking a leading part in conducting special activities designed to acquaint each child with thecessity of personal care for the prevention of fire.

Lloyd George Keeps in Close Touch With Problems of Ministry
Stands Ready to Volunteer Aid if Hughes Economic Plan Is Rejected
(United Press)
Montreal, Oct. 9—Lady George keeps his car in the international waters, despite the fact that he is steering the British ship of state.
This is the construction some on his political friends put on the statement he issued here relating to the Hughes economic crisis and its reparations question
Having realized the possibility that Stresemann may fall in a week or two and that his fall might conceivably be followed by the fall of the British ministry among other things, Lloyd George reminds his countrymen that he is ready at hand if need arises.
It was his first utterance on the international situation. In effect, Lloyd George urges all his friends and supporters of the Hughes plan for an economic commission, to determine Germany's capacity to pay, to begin urging it as the only sound and workable plan.
To Guard Against Floods
Plan Made for Drainage System in Arkansas Valley
Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering and Prof. H. A. Rice secretary of the Kansas state water commission, have returned *from Wichita* to address the hurdles of the Arkansas Valley Improvement Association.
The Association was organized Oct. 4 following meetings at Oxford, Kena, and Arkansas City. Representatives were present from Reno, Sedgwick, Cowley, and Summer counties. Its purpose is to guard against the recurrence of floods in the Arkansas valley from Hutchinson to Tulsa, Okla. Plans for a drainage system will be carried out by a federal engineer from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. Relief from the recurrence of flood, it is believed, may be obtained partly be an act of Congress and partly by district assessment.
Congressman W. A. Ayers, from the Seventh district, and Congressman W. H. Sprowl from the third district, were present and expressed their approval of the plans. A. B. Pauller, of Arkansas City, was elected from each of the four counties represented. A constitution and by-laws was adopted.

Tom D. Johnston's Body Discovered Close to Eudora
Fishermen Find Dead Man on Jetty; Identification Is Made Possible by Belt Buckle
The body of Tom D. Johnston, student who drowned in the Kaw river Oct. 3, was this morning about 8:00. The body was found a few feet west of the bridge at Eudora.
Different groups of students from the School of Law have been patrolling the banks of the river since the time of the accident. This morning Lloyd Bryant, Otto Trot, Sam Bryant and David Mackenzie the river, found a body. They thought it might be Johnston's and notified the Phi Alpha Delta fraternity.
Identified by Belt Buckle
It was only possible to identify the body as that of Johnston by a belt buckle. The body was found near a wood jetty. The left arm was hooked over a stump and the arm was bent outward. The canoe was found a little later about 500 feet further up the stream. It was badly broken, apparently from having been crushed by the large amount of driftwood that is going down the river at present.
Parents Had Returned Home
It was suggested that a diving suit be brought here from Kansas City, Mo., but Doctor Wilmer, Johnston's wife, wished of either Mrs. Wilmer or himself that anyone jeopardize his life in an attempt to find the body. Doctor and Mrs. Wilmer left for their home in Winfield, Saturday night. Johnston's body was taken to the coroner's general Home. No armaments for the funeral have been made.
Encourages Star Gazing
Observatory Will Be Open Every Friday to Visitors
Prof. C. T. Elvay, of the department of Astronomy, announces that Friday night, Oct. 12, at 7:30 will be the first visitor's night of the year and he has planned an interesting program for those who care to come.
If the evening is clear, the new moon will first be observed, for it sets early at this date. The Globular of Hercules will then be seen. This constellation is calculated to be at least 38 degrees from the sun at this time the star Vega can also be seen. This star is known as the diamond of the sky on account of its brilliant blue color. The visitors will also be able to see what the astronomers call "Double-double." This star can be seen with theaked eye to be com-posed of four stars, and powered telescope it appears to be composed of four stars, all of which evolve around a central body.
Professor Elvey says that only about twenty five persons can be accommodated each evening at the observatory, and in order to care for that number he has requested each visitor to make reservations for that evenning. This can be done by addressing Professor Elvey at the Observatory by mail, telephone or in person. Those who are not successes in making reservations this week will have another good opportunity to see the moon on next Friday night, as it is planned to have a visitor's night every Friday night of the school year if the weather permits.
