Women to Vote On Amendments To Constitution
NUMBER 119
Tentative Changes in Point System are Considered at Meeting of the W. S. G. A.
At the meeting of the W. S. G. A. yesterday noon the council voted on amendments which will be submitted to the vote of the women of the stipulated election. The amendments will be posted until Tuesday, March 27, when the women will hold a mass meeting to discuss them. Three-fourths majority of one-sixth of the vote of the constitution is required to amend the constitution.
The constitution as it now stands provides for a second vice-president chosen from the School of Fine Arts, but elected by all women of the University. As amended, the constitution eliminates this office. The feeling was expressed that a premium is placed on the School of Fine Arts in showing this preference and that the authority not as well qualified to judge of the Fine Arts member of the council as is the school itself.
No Office for College
The present constitution provides that the graduate representative is elected solely by the women of the college. The constitution has been provided for the College.
On account of these various objections, the constitution as amended now supplies in place of the second amendment to the constitution, to be voted on by the voters of the school. It also creates the office of College representative and provides that any school registering a student must submit such a representation on the council.

Leave to Inspect Schools
Committee to Determine Schools to be Accredited
Prof. E, F. Engel and Prof. U. G. Mitchell left yesterday, to visit four Kansas junior colleges. The visits are made upon invitation and with the view of placing the college on the list with accredited schools.
"It is vital that the colleges be placed on the list with accredited schools not only for students coming to the University of Kansas but also for those entering schools out of the state. If any weaknesses of the college are noted that will keep them from becoming accredited, they need to told about them and then able to be accredited," said Prof. E. B. Stouffer, chairman of the committee on visitation and application of colleges.
The four junior college that will be visited are: Mary Mount college, Salina; Central junior college, McPherson; St. Johns junior college, Winfield; and Harper junior college, Harper.

Prominent Men Are Accepting Wives Disclose Secrets of Husbands
Roasting no Terror to Those Receiving Gridiron Invitations
"Brave men, these," commented the chief roster in charge of the Grid-iron Dinner as he waded through a cave. "We had to have them signified their willingness to see themselves as others see them by being put on the grid at the dinner to be given March 28 by the local Delta Chi, journalism fraternity.
Among some of the prominent men who have already accepted the fraternity's invitation are Chancellor Susan Stokes, PhD, and Ms. Means, Potty Clark, Phog Allen, Mayor Kreeck, a number of Lawrence business men, and newspapermen from Kansas City and Topken. A celebration of the chief coaster is kept busy.
The chief made public today what he considered a startling revelation regarding the vicissitudes of judicial bank accounts. One learned judge in accepting the invitation informed the chief that his check could be cashed if it was taken to the bank quickly enough. The chief is considering the salaries of a movement to raise the salaries of those who sit on the bench.
Behind the scenes, members of Sigma Delta Chi are holding almostly meetings in preparation for the event. Members are very reticent to leave until the event is earned, an earnest that skit stumps, and epitaphs are being prepared from material obtained from secret sources. Even the wives of some professors are showing interest in their work from the dark pasts of their husbands, fraternity members say.
Owl Appears Tomorrow
Whiz-dog Number Will Contain Much Oread Talent
"The 'mystery' number of the Sour Owl will go on sale tomorrow morning after convoitation," the editor, Teh Shore, said this morning. "It is the largest issue this year and has more hill contributions than any Owl ever put out. There are about twenty art drawings and cartoons including the one by whale Dan Johnson the $10,000 prize offered by the Owl Board.
"The issue includes one feature story, three skirts, a playlet, and two short stories. The poetry prizes and prize winners for feature and short stories will be announced after the Sour Owl comes out. Of course when the Owl comes on sale the mystery of the Whiz Dog and the delights will be revealed."
The next issue of the Sour Owl will be an All-University publication and the staff and editor will be chosen from former contributors who have shown marked interest in writing for writing will have a chance to be on the staff. The Owl board and one member of the faculty of the University will choose the editor and his staff who will publish the next issue. "This method is being used and the editor," he order to train an author and staff for "next year."

An absent student at the University is eligible to vote and it is important that they all exercise their right. During the coming year the Y. M. C. A. will be under the supervision of a faculty member, E. B. Schultz, now of Washington and Lee University.
Lafollette Silent Regarding Plans For His Candidacy
Has Theory That Any Third Party Movement Must Come From Demand of Country
Washington, March 21—Senator Robert M. Laflolette of Wisconsin, progressive leader for many years, is maintaining strict silence regarding any plans he may have for winning a presidential nomination.
“Not a word” was his only comment today in response to inquiries as to whether or not he would be $x$ presidential candidate.
May Cause Republicans to Split
Despite his silence, a "Laflolette
for president" boom has taken de-
finite form. Party leaders here see in
it the following possibilities: (1) a
split in the Republican ranks in 1924,
permitting a Democrat to step
through; (2) a third party that may
develop sufficient strength to live
after the 1924 campaign.
Lafollette's theory is that any third party movement must come as a result of a demand from the client. The same thing has been applied to his candidacy.
Progressives to Back Lafollette
In carrying to the country their fight to organize important House and Senate committees, which will enable them to shape legislation, the progressives will conduct a campaign for their leader Lafolette.
Both Republicans and Democrats see that the avowed candidacy of LaFlolette would be inevitable if the movement comes up to Progressive's expectations and amounts to a virtual opposition.
Contribute by Sacrifice
Finn Urges Students to Give up Pleasure for Union
"The a-rit of sacrifice should appeal most to the students in making their contributions toward the erection of the Stadium and the Union building." it said Karl Finn this morning. "It is not the idea of reckless or thoughtless giving that should build this Memorial; every stone laidown should be paid by the sacrifice of some student who does it in the memory of those who have crossed the Great Divide. Each student will build a part of himself, by sacrificing some of his pleasures so that he may say in after years, 'The Union building is part of my University.'"
"It is time that some of these people who are giving so thoughtlessly, should realize the importance of this undertaking. Do not wait for this lesson. Go to the alumni office and give your contribution voluntarily. Four cents a day will cover the average subscription contributed. When one considers that it is only a matter of one small sacrifice involved seems small indeed."
To interest women of the University in the Rocky Mountain conference to be held this summer at Estes Park, August 14 to 24, women who have attended Estes Park conferences have a spirited and interesting meeting yesterday, under the leadership of Lillian Mayer.
Sigma Phi Sigma will give its spring formal April 20 at F. A. U.
Final reports cannot be made until every one has been solicited. The Wichita campaign will start immediately. Atchison and Leavenworth will be next, and then Parsons and Pittsburgh. The Topeka and the rest of the Kansas campaigns will begin about the first of May.
The program consisted of a scene around a camp fireplace, supposedly in a log cabin. The women, Lillian Mayer, Margaret Phillips, Anna Dorothy Lester, Ruth Wilson, Margaret Butcher, Mary Lois Rupenthal, Kathryn Kline, Ruth Terry, Edith Mary Martin, Barbara Becker, and Barbara Sawyer.

Entomology Instructor Studies Tree Borsers To Stop Infestation
te History Determined But no Sure Extermination Method Found
Phillip A. Readio, instructor in the department of entomology, has been carrying on experiments at the University insectory to determine the frequency of species $80,000 worth of elm trees in Kansas City, Kan., last summer.
Small white grubs represent the first stage in the life of the borer. During this period the greatest damage is done to the tree which is infected with the insects, for the grubs attack between the bark and the wood, gradually sapping the tree's strength. The pests winter in the tree and in the spring emerge, as grayish beetles which fly to breeding places in other trees, laying their eggs and spreading the disease.
...
Limbs from infected trees were brought up here last fall that the hill entomologist might discover the insect's life history. Small white grubs had appeared on the trees. Upon examination, Mr. Readio found that there were four species of dm tree insects (Xylotrechus Colonus. This species, it was discovered, is doing the most damage.
From these eggs come the white grubs. More than a thousand trees were killed in Kansas City last summer by the pests, and it is estimated by a city official that about half of the trees in the city are infected.
Three foreign students, one from Czech-Slovakia, one from Germany, one one from England, will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow evening to visit the University and to speak before the group. Two more will be accompanied by one American who is traveling through the country with them.
No method of controlling the infestation, with the exception of cutting down the infected tree has been used. Most people have studied the case, it is very difficult to tell whether a tree is harboring the insects or not. Mr. Readio hopes that by learning the life history of an infestant a way of compulating its destruction.

Faculty Approves New Point System For College Credit
Plan to Go Into Effect Nex Year to Raise Standards of Undergraduate Scholarship
The new point system for the in-
provement of undergraduate scholar-
ship was approved by the college
faculty at a meeting yesterday. The
committee on undergraduate scholar-
ship was asked to bring in a recom-
mending regarding the times and
manner of putting the new system
into effect.
"This will have to come about grandully so as to be efficient in its working," said Dean J. G. Brandt, chairman of the undergraduate committee today. "Some students think that we don't need a class mediated and will affect them this year, but this would not be fair non-possible."
May Use Honor Point System
"It is our purpose in adopting the "new system to eventually install the honor point system. This point system has been adopted by many of the large colleges and universities of the country successfully. This system will be the measuring stick for enrolling students in their courses and will be a means of emphasizing quality rather than quantity of work. We want students out putting out the exceptional students and this will be an efficient method."
The system was presented to the faculty by the committee on undergraduate scholarship in tentative form, and that was followed by the first recommendation of the system was approved. It is as follows: That in order to graduate not more than 25 percent of a student's course load, all required courses B' must be balanced by A's and B'.
Point System Instituted
The other recommendations approved by the faculty yesterday are: (1) That freshmen, sophomores and juniors be required to have a minimum total of 20, 50, and 80 grade points respectively before being classified in the next class, in addition to the present credit-hour requirements for such classification. These points may be earned by receiving two grade points. B's two grade points, and C's one grade point per credit hour.
(2) That fifteen hours be regarded as the regular program for students of all classes, and students enrolled for only this work may take one hour for every five grade points above fifteen made during the previous six months. (3) That no student allowed to take more work than is at present allowed in the several classes. (4) That no student be classified as a junior who has not satisfactorily completed all the courses taken in the freshman year, and no one be classified as a senior who has not similarly completed all courses taken in the sophomore year.

Worker Praises Organization's Success
Mr. Porter spoke enthusiastically of the prospects ahead of the Y. M. C. A. all over the country. The par- sents were very clear, is that it is a student organization.
"Furthermore," said Mr. Porter, "it is one of the few international organizations which successfully survived the World War." Further on in his talk, he said that no campus could be well balanced which did not have an active Y. M. C. A. organization.
Ben Cherrington, regional secretary of the Y. M. C. A., spoke of the annual conference to be held during the latter part of June at Estes Park, Colorado, and urged all students who could spare the time to go. Fords, and walking are popular means of getting there, he said.

Football Candidates To Hold Scrimmage Behind Closed Gates
Clark Reports Several Finds Black Shows up Well at Pilot Position
Football practice from now on will be held behind closed gates and will consist of scrimmage every afternoon. The first scrimmage for this spring's practice was held last night and the team will up well, according to Coach Clark.
Fransworth, 185-pound linean, showed up especially well in last night's scrimmage. He was always fighting and was hard to stop. In the backfield Collier and Coulter showed up extremely well. Coulier looked like he could be developed into a dangerous open-field runner. Twice in last night's scrimmage he ran and once for an eighty-yard run, both of them scoring touchdowns. Coulter made consistent gains through the line.
Four teams were used in scrimmage last night. The lineup of the teams that were used most of the time is as follows: Captain Black, quarter; Coulter, right half; J. Hodes, fullback; Collier, left half; Endacott, left end; B. Smith, left back; David and Mason, middle center; Fresen, right guard; Mosby, right tackle; and Plum, right end.
Milman also showed likely possibilities in the backfield, hitting the fore for eight and ten yard gains consistently. Black was used at quarterback. He seemed more at home last night than he has since Coach Clark started to use him at the pilot position.
The other team was composed of the following men: Cox, quarter: Shields, right half: Millman, fullback: Richmond, left half: Baker, left end: Loftus, left tackle: Harrison, left guard; Fransworth, center: Voigts right guard; Anthony, right tackle Cormack, right end.

Dope Favors K. U.
And Husker Teams
In All-Valley Meet
Dangerous Rivalry Seen in Teams of Other Schools in a Few Events
Only
"The Missouri Valley meet Saturday night in Kansas City lies between Kansas and Nebraska," said Coach Karl Schlidman today. "Ames, Missouri, Drake and the Aggies cannot be expected to capture many points, and it is useless to consider Oklahoma except possibly in the quarter mile."
Noble and Lloyd of Nebrasa are expected to win the fifty-yard dash, with Irwin of the Kansas Aggies seeond, and Fisher of Kansas fourth.
Kansas Weak in Hurdles
Aggies Doped to Take Low Hurdles
Kansas is weak in the high hurdles. The run will probably go to Waddell of Missouri, Aggies second with Riley, Green of Grimell third, and Lear of Nebuska fourth. Green, who won thirteen points in the triangular game against Drake, Drake a week ago Saturday, makes Grimell an unknown quantity in the hurdles. The number of points scored by Green is the most recorded in an indoor play. Dr. Huff Huff coaches the best team coach in the valley and may be able to cut in on the dashes and hurdles, according to Coach Schademan.
Riley of the Angies ought to make five points in the low hardness. Bond of Missouri might come in third, and Green of Grinnell, fourth.
one eligibility of Wolters of Ames changes the aspect of the dope on the 440 yard run. Wolters is a brilliant runner. He won the 880-yard run and the 440-yard run in the outdoor meet last year in record time, Layton or Kelsey. Kelsey would be chance for second. Kansas ought to be third with either Firebaugh or Griffin. Biers of Washington has a chance at the last place.
in the 880-yard run, Gardner of Nebraska is slated to be the winner. Pittinger of Missouri is tenth, hummingly and McAtee of Ames, third and fourth.
Nebraska Slated For Mile Run
Allen of Nebraska took the mile run last year and won again this year. Henry, Waters, and Kuykendahl of the Aggie soud should match the second and third places of Kansas ought to make fourth.
If Kuykendahl runs the two-mile he will secure five points for the Aggies. Wilson of Kansas has a necktie and Nebraska rating third and fourth. The strong points for Kansas are the pole vault and high jump events. Rogers and Norton should hold the first eight points in the pole vault, which will probably go to Hope of Aggges and fourth to Greens of Ames.
Kansas Strong in Pole Vault.
Poor and Norton can probably succeed in holding Waddell of Missouri down to third place in the high jump, Turner of Nebraska, who won the (Continued on Page 3.)
