Thorough Preparation Is Insuring Success Of Medical Students
Crowded Condition Makes I Necessary to Take Only Best Prepared
"The thing of the most concern about our School of Medicine is its crowded condition," said Prof. G. E. Coghill. "The school is not able to receive all applicants who fulfill the requirements of the program, it has become necessary to select all students upon the basis of scholarship. It is required that a student, in order to be admitted to the first-year class, must give evidence of having done so, and only those subjects required in physics, chemistry, biology, English, and modern languages. If he presents only the minimum requirements, or more than the minimum requirements, with a low grade of scholarship, he is admitted to college before entering the School of Medicine.
"Out of the seventy-six freshmen in the School of Medicine this year, twelve are graduates of colleges, and ten have senior rank in college. There is a marked tendency shown in the students who anticipate study at medical school take much more than the preparation required by the medical schools.
"It is of prime importance to students in high school who anticipate going into college to establish a reputation of good scholarship. Students can do good work in the freshman and sophomore years, and are better prepared for good work done in high school.
"With reference to subjects which deserve particular attention in the high school by students interested in medicine, I would emphasize mathematics, English, and modern languages.
"The crowded conditions which exist in the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas, are practically the same conditions which exist in our school and in other countries, and the high school student who anticipates the study of medicine must begin early to lay the foundation. The big thing about our medical students is their success, which result of thorough preparation."
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will attend a meeting of the Board of Education at Topeka Monday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., by invitation of Merle C. Prunty, A. B. 9th, principle of high schools there. Chancellor Lindley will speak to Tulsa high school students Tuesday and at the Rotary Club in the evening.

Former Student Trying to Check Sugar Scourge
Prof. Herbert Hungerford received a letter Wednesday from F. H. Williams, A. B. 13, who is now in Ecuador, South America, spending several months in the emply of the Sugar cane company at an experimental station is located in Honolulu, but Mr. Williams was sent to South America by the planters to search for the sugar cane "wire" worm. The worm was imported into Herramienta from South America and it Mr. Williams checked to check it in its native hawks.
Since he graduated from the University, Mr. Williams has traveled extensively. He has made three trips to the Philippine Islands.
'Big Sisters' Aid New Girls Y.W.C.A. Assists Entering Students in Getting Started
One of the ways in which the Young Women's Christian Association serves the University is in helping the new girls who enter school each fall to be familiar with the curriculum and with the older girls of the University. This movement is carried on by the Big Sister and Little Sister organization of the Association which has proved most successful in past years. It works on a larger scale this next year.
Miss June Judy is chairman of the committee which is made up of fifteen Y. W., C. A. members. This committee will be selected soon. Each member will serve as captain of ten women who are chosen from among the students of the campus, making sure that all women are chosen in the spring so as to get the Big Sisters together to plan the work for next fall.
The purpose is to take care of all freshmen girls. During the summer the Big Sisters get a list from the registrar of all new students planning to attend K. U. and write to her requesting that she be made to feel as if she knew any person whose purpose is to be an all-round, true friend.
The girls are met at the train in the fall, taken up to register and enroll and helped in every possible manner.
During the year the captains arrange to have the teams of Big Sisters and Little Sisters participate in their trips to another purpose of furthering their friendships.
Tickets for the Senior Cake Walk to be given April 21 at F. A. U. hall, were put on sale the first of the week according to Ovadia Bradley, manager of the event. Classes are also distributing tickets on the Hill "Pat" Conroy and Virginia Schwain are in charge of the ticket slea. Plans for elaborate decorations and clever programs are well under consideration Bradley is W in the University Hall.
Last fall 150 freshmen were taken care of and each new girl found in her Big Sister an advisor and friend.

Chemistry in 1874 Not a Snap Cours
Chemistry students in 1874 must have been more eager to acquire a knowledge of that interesting subject than most of the present students in that department profess to be. With practical no equipment they may not be ready for laboratory experiments in the unpublished basement of Fraser Hall.
Chemistry was included in the department of natural science then and was taught by Prof. G. E. Patrick. In a report to the regents of the University, Professor Patrick said, "The chemical lecture room should be particularly equipped. It should at least have an air-tight, water-tight, and gas and water pipes, and blackboard, none of which it has at present."
Now the chemistry department has eleven professors and about twenty five assistants with the detail work Then, Professor Patrick did everything. In his report he went on to say: "The carrying on of this department in a satisfactory manner involves a great amount of manual labor in the handling and putting together of apparatus, the cleaning and filling of bottles, and many other items. Much of my time is occupied by this work that I consider it a duty to the institution as well as myself that some provision be made by which I may be relieved of a portion of it."
Star Beams Editor Talks Thompson Believes Columnists Advertise State
That the advertisement of the state of Kansas over the country is due in a large part to state columnists who are quoted in publications in the East and West, and that Kansas has produced probably more than 100 articles on other state, were the statements of Cladth Thompson, fs'07-09, conductor of the Charliff City Star's column, "Star Beams," and "Kansas Notes" in a talk before a class in editorial writing this morning. Mr. Thompson was the editor of University classes today and has made other interesting talks.
"Kansas has led the world in smart newspaper people for years," said Mr. Thompson. "W. A. White of the Emporia Gazette and E. W. Howe of the Dallas Morning News particularly noted for their pithy editorials and sharp paragraphs.
"The average column-conductor probably works better under stress than at any other time," he continued. "The average citizen, picking up his newspaper to read in the evening, does not realize the thought and experience of being in the pity and to-the-point quips on current events." Mr. Thompson also stated that the evolution of a paragraph is not a matter of inspiration, nor is it a matter of system. It is the result of careful thought or
humorous angles of the day's news.
Diligence, not Genius Spells Student Success, Explains Dean Brandt
Outside Work is Frequently Found an Asset Rather Than Liability
"any student, given a sense of direction, plus willingness to work, can overcome all other handicaps, with the possible exception of ability far below the average," said F. G. Branford of the College, in a recent interview.
“Outside work” has often been mentioned as a cause for failure in college. There are, of course, cases of men and women who are badly handicapped in their college work by lack of self-confidence. It shows that the work done in college in self-support is more apt to be an asset in the making of a man or woman than a liability. A more serious handicap in getting a college education than lack of funds is over-supply. “Causes for failure in university work are, I believe, mainly reducible in the case it seems to be the order of importance.”
"First. Failure on the part of the student to put in a real day's work on the lob of getting an education.
"Second. Lack of a sense of direction in his college course. (The student should set up a target early in his course and keep shooting at it.)
"Third. Poor preparation for the thing he is trying to do in College.
"Fourth. Lack of ability for this particular job.
"Fifth. Failure to become oriented in the university environment, due to distractions of various sorts.
"Students falling for the first and second reasons form by far the largest group."
Library Work Progresses
Excavation May be Completed by First of June
Excavation work on the new library site is proceeding even faster than was at first expected, according to a survey of the construction company. If no unforeseen delays are encountered, excavation work should be completed earlier.
Outside work will begin about the first of July. It is almost impossible to make an exact estimate as to the length of the work to Mr. Anderson, but if the work progresses as it should, and there is no shortage of skilled labor, the greatest chance for delay, the library or equipment by February of next year.
Mr. Anderson had charge of the building of the new high school of this city, and he said that skilled masons were more sewers than ever before.

Dean Kelly Visits Colleges Will Make Report on Work During Summer
F. J. Kelly, dean of administration is at the University for a few days on his way from west to east, Dean Kelly has visited Leland Stanford University, University of Minnesota Grinnel College, University of Washington, Reed College, Portland, Ore., and the University of California.
"The visits are proving very intercaled," said Dean Kelly, "Many valuable suggestions are coming from the organizations of the various institutions in regard to their administrations. I find large enrollment is a serious problem at all institutions as it is here."
After a short stop here Dean Kelly will go to Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; from there to Dartmouth College, Harvard or Columbia, Oberland College, and University of college reports to visit these schools before he goes on. He are over and will spend his summer making the report on his work.
Yearbook Workers Dine
Board and Staff are Guests of
1923 Jayhawker
Members of the advisory board, the staff of the 1923 Jayhawk, and Ben Seward, manage of the college annual department of the Hugh Steward School. They were the guests of E. F. (Ted) Hudson, editor, and Wm. Brehm, business manager, of the 1923 Jayhawk, at a dinner yesterday evening at Wiede mann's ten room. After the dimmer of several of the gues made short talks.
Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the advisory board, gave a brief review of what had been done by the editors and managers of the Jayhawkers. He emphasized the fact that the Jayhawkers of previous years had each seen an individual effort; that each year the staff started at the same place where the staff of the previous year had also started.
"Now," said Professor Flint "unter the new system, the oncoming taff will take up the work where the outgoing staff left off"
Dean John R. Dyer, another faculty member of the advisory board, told of his experiences with the Jayhawker since his coming to the University. He said he will see more control by students of the various University publications," said Dean Dyer. "I to hope see the time when the control of the various student publications will be vested in one composed of competent students."

defeated Norton county's affirmative, Norton county's negative team defeated Burlingsby by the same two-to-one vote.
Silver Cups to Winners
In the Class B debates yesterday afternoon, Ness City negation team obtained a unanimous decision over Almena's two votes and earned a two-to-one decision over Eskridge. Almena's negative team defeated Eskridge unanimously. Ness City thus obtained the vote of five of the four votes. The Eskridge had the vote of four of the nine.
The Ackleison-Burlington debate was held in Fraser camp last night, with other debates at Haskell and the city high school. All debates met at Fraser following the debates, and the silver cups were presented the winners by Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
"I was impressed by the quality of the work of the debaters," declared Chancellor Lindley. "and I could not contrast this forceful presentation of a real public problem with the old fashioned debates on such abstract things as the relative damage caused by war or warfulness."
Atchison Presents Its Case
The main faults presented in the Case are the Attichison affirmation and the United States has a legal right to form an industrial court similar to the plan used in Kansas because it is in accordance with the general principles of government which provide for peace and security for its people; that there is need for a court powerful enough to enforce its own decisions; that many strikes are not an industrial danger, but a personal one as well. Such a plan as Kansas uses, would contain, would provide a place for labor and capital to settle their troubles without strikes.
Statistics were quoted to show that the Kansas industrial court has saved the state a large sum of money and it could do as much for the Union, by giving justice to labor, capital, and the public at a much smaller cost.
The Government is the one power that can protect the public from industry and only such a court would make this affirmative, maintained the affirmative.
The negative team from Burling-game, which met atchison, consisted of Luece Hogle, Anna Smith, and Gaylord Hogle. They argued the matter of an industrial court should be left entirely to the state. It was well worth in Kansas because the principle could have been made a part of the conclusion. It would make hopeless confusion in the federal courts.
Court Held Expensive
The negative contended that the Kansas court has been very expensive. The plan should not be federal until it has proved successful. Last summer in the shopstrike in Topeka, was he injured, a crowd of workers rushed the streets—a direct violation of the law, but the law was not enforced.
"Kansas does not have very acute labor trouble, so how would such a plan be successful in a state where the problem is great?" asked the speaker.
The negative team which defeated Norton county divided the question into four parts:
1. The present laws are adequate, betterment of the conditions between capital and labor must come through additional laws, and not through additional laws.
2. Such a court would be an easy prey to political corruption.
3. Such a court would be unconstitutional because it hodes the right to annul any contract which may be believed in the minds of the judges it could be believed in any way. The constitution protects the right of contract.
4. This court is based on unbound economic principles. Wages are fixed by the law of supply and demand, and therefore are continually fluctuating.
The Norton county speakers were Edith Sarvis, Ruth McCammon, and Archie Perrw.
Norton county High's negative team defeated Burlingame at Haskell chapel. Both sides of the question
