Plans Under Way For Marvin Hall's Annual Exposition
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1923.
Shows and Exhibits Expected to be Heart of Whole Affair, Says B. F. Treat
The All-Engineers' Exposition, as the substitute for the former Engineers' Day is to be known, will be held about the middle of April, according to Burnett F. Treat., 23 President of the School of Engineers.
The following men have been chosen to represent the various departments on the committee of shows and exhibits: William Anderson, electrical; Elvin Laff, mechanical; Harold Ruppert chemical, chemical; William Chester, civil; Jack Heffing, industrial; and Warren Wynn, mining. Paul Endacott will be in charge of the banquet. His fellow advisers are athletics, Carl Meng, John Wenzel, Wilton Wemond, and Gail Jane; Hobnail Hop, Joe Ratinsky, and Gerald Keeeser; publicity, Everett Carlson.
"The departmental societies have plans under way to make up snappy exhibits of interest not only to engineers but also to visit laymen," said Treat in a recent interview. "The shows and exhibits will be the heart of the whole affair and much is to be expected from them. The school is very fortunate in again securing Endacott to take care of the job, this year the last year was a marked success and Endacott is planning several new features which may make the one this year even superior to the last.
Endacott in Charge of Banquet
"The Exposition will be held on Friday and Saturday of some week in April. Friday morning will be devoted to professional conferences in place of the regular class work. Several visitors noted in the engineering field of the country will probably be present."
Exhibitions and Shows Friday
Friday afternoon there will be the engineering exhibitions and shows. The standard equipment of each department will be shown in an attractive form for the benefit of visitors. In addition, the work of advanced students, advertising material and some spectacular stuff will be exhibited. The electricals have already obtained some display material from prominent manufacturers and are expecting more.
The banquet will be Friday evening, and Saturday morning will be devoted to athletic contests. Mong plans to run these so as to develop a spirit of athletic rivalry within the school and aid *Couch Sehademan* in getting new track material. Several humorous contests, like "waggle walk" and "walk are also scheduled. On Saturday night will come the wind-up of the whole affair, the "bobnail bon", the most democratic dance on the hill."
Team a Credit to Any Univer sity,says Professor Shinn
Kansas Debates Missouri
"I was a good debate," said Prof. H. A. H. Shinn this morning. "I was well satisfied and the system of rendering no decision was satisfactory for both parties. The results of the debate were very much as they were last year, and I was especially pleased with the work work.
"It has been reported to me that it was very evident to the audience who won the debate. Martin R. Kriwalid, the coach for the Missouri team, admitted the superiority of the Kansas team, and several K. U. alumni told me that they felt that the Kansas team was superior to the Missouri team. I feel that the Kansas team would be a credit to any University."
The debate between Missouri and Kansas was held in Junior College, Saturday night before an audience which was much larger than the one which heard the debate home. The cionism was to will debate Columbia with and Oklahoma on April 19, and the girls will debate with Manhattan, April 18.
The Girls' Friendly Society of the Episcopal church will meet at 7:30 tomorrow at Henley house. The Reverend Mr. Hislpof the Methodist church will speak. All University girls are invited to attend.

Engineer Theses to be
Hypothetical Railroad
Seniors in the department of civil engineering who are specializing in allway engineering, will be required to construct a hypothetical railroad is thesis work. The route is to be aid out between certain cities and the national parks used by united states geological survey will be basis for the construction.
The work will be as near as possible as that required in actual practice, according to Frank A. Russell. The work will be performed by profile showing the varying grades will be worked out first. Then the route will be divided into sectors, to each of which there will be to make out detailed plans, specifications and estimates of cost.
Electrical Engineers Plan Novel Program For Annual Banquet
K. U. Branch of A. I. E. E. Will be Hosts at Sixteenth Dinner Tomorrow Night
The sixteenth annual banquet of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will be held tomorrow night, Tuesday, March 13, in the banquet room of the parish house of the First Congregational church at 6:45.
Unlike most departmental dinners given in the School of Engineering this affair will not be a "stag" banquet, but each electrical engineer attending is requested to invite a lady friend.
The program for the evening is to be carried out along the lines of the production of an electrical engineering experiment. A speaker from each class will introduce part of the experiment which is "Operation of phonons, Motor."
Following the "experiments" of the class representatives, Chancellor E. H. Lindley and C. M. Fassett, chairman of the department of municipal government in the College, will take part in the "Operation of a Synchronous School," in Perry Flly of the School of Engineering, and Anne Dudley Blitz, dean of women, are among the honorary guests invited.
Twenty Killed in Storm
Pinson, Tenn., Center of Severe Wind and Hail Disaster
Immediately preceding the banquet and while the guests are being sent, the dinners will be entertained by members of the organization by members of the organization.
Jackson, Tenn. Mar. 12—Twenty persons were killed and nearly two sewre were injured when a wind and hail storm struck Pinson during the night. Bodies of the dead were brought here today by rescuers work force used to the stranger wage when word of the disaster was broadcast.
Rain and light hail followed the high winds, adding to the miseries of the victims. The casualties lay scattered about while townpeople who escaped with only a slight injurie were the darkness and rain to provide for them.
Many of the dead were killed while they slept. Others were tossed about in the wreckage of their homes as a storm awaived about the little town.
Hours after the cyclone had passed leaving dead and destruction in its wake, little bands of half clad townpeople struggled to repair the damage of their homes. Relief workers also pushed on to Doannville, a village near Pinson where the storm caused considerable damage. Eight injured persons were taken from the wreckage.
Storm and Heavy Snow Kills Telephone Servic
Five hundred local telephones were out of commission this morning, due to the storm and heavy snow. Lights in part of the city were put out of commission about 10:30 last night, and refused to work for thirty minutes. Again at midnight the city was dark.
This morning Charles Hughes, wires chief, announced that all rural telephone lines were down and that no toll lines were working. Few of them were ready again by 9:30. The lines to Toukaa are not down, and it is estimated that at least 300 telephone poles are down in the country, and probably more.
Terrific Tension Breaking in Ruhr; Seven are Killed
After Assassination of Officials, French Gendarmes Shoot Suspects Trying to Escape
Recklinghausen, March 12. Twenty-four hours of terrific tension in the Ruhr following the discovery that two French offenders hadCODEed in front of a code-day and at least seven and possibly ten Germans were killed.
Reports from French sources at Buer, which is held under an intensified state of siege, said two German commanders and aiding him in executing the attack. Officers sainte Saturday, were captured by gendarmes while attempting to escape. The suspects were shot dead, after which an ugly crowd threatened to kill them. Two French troops going to the sieue killed five of the mob.

honesty heretofore practiced toward German offenders cannot be continued, Magino said before leaving for Brussels where an important Franco-Belgian conference was held.
With the situation in the Ruba growers worse hourly, France and Belgium are getting their heads together for still more stringent measures. German resistance showed signs of weakenin-
Women to Debate Aggies
Question on Way of Nominating Presidential Candidates
"That the presidential candidates should be nominated by direct national primary" is the question which will be debated at the women's dual meet between the University of Kansas and Kansas State Agricultural College, April 8, according to Prof. H. A. Shinn, debate coach.
The two teams have been chosen and are at work now preparing material for the debate. The affirmative team is composed of Myr Hart, c23; Annabelle Pringle, c23; and Lois Robinette, c24; the negative team, Mary Wright Pierer, Lois Ferguson, and Margaret Decker for the negatives and the negative team will be the guests of Manhattan.
Rhadamanthi Try-Out Closes Thursday Night
Spring try-out for Rhamdhanani, K. u. poetry society, closes Thursday, March 15. Many manuscripts have already been received, according to Daisy Bishop, president, but those would like to see more coming in.
The first women's debate was held two years ago with Manhattan, when the University won both decisions. Last year one was lost and one was won by each school. A possible practice debate may be held in Clark College or U-K学院 in debate in April. This would be given before the chapel at Clark College and there would be no decision. The University would have the affirmative of the question, which is to be the same one that the teams of the schools debate. The women who may participate in the debate, Hard, c23, Mildred Quilliams, c23, and Ida Logue, c23, of the debating class.
Any one enrolled in the University may try-out by submitting at least twenty lines of poetry. This may be in one or in several poems. Leave manuscript in oxen case in France and the south stairs marked for Rhamdanthi try-out.

'Junior Prom Will be' Is Juniors Decision; May be Held April 27
Graduate Students and Seniors Ask Faculty to Wear Cap And Gown
"There will be a Junior Prom," was definitely decided this morning by members of the junior class. The deficiency of $243 from last year's "Soph Hop" was discussed and $7.75. was pledged toward its payment. Merchants have reduced the bill 25 per cent.
The clause in the Student Government constitution concerning the refunding of class debts before another class function may be held, does not apply to this particular case since the clause was inserted in the constitution. The debt that was held The class does not intend to allow the debt to go unpaid.
Plans are being made for the Prom to be held April 27. No definite steps have been taken to decide whether the Prom will take place. The vacancy left by Shad Jackide, one of the "Prom" managers, will be filled by the president of the junior class and the other of the senior class. The advice and consent of the class.
Emerson Norton, president of the sophomore class, made a call for donations from the members of the class in order to pay off the debt of the class so that more parties may be interested. The debt can be lifted from the books the committee for the annual Soph Hop will make plans for the affair, he said.
A resolution requesting the faculty of the University to wear capes and gowns at Commencement this spring was passed by members of the Graduate School. Most of the larger U.S. colleges of the country do this as a tradition.
Many Attend Talent Night
Program of Cosmopolitan Club Well Received
Before a crowd of nearly 800 people, the Cosmopolitan Club presents its International Talent night last fall. The event was organized by the program was renailed with versatility
It was once a tradition here, but through neglect or other causes, the custom was allowed to fall by the rule that students would not this that was a needless waste of money, seeming to forget the dignity of a school, is the opinion of graduate students. The remark was made that business suits used the impressiveness of a teacher institution rather than having the dignity of a place of learning.
A Filipino flirtation dance by Mrs. V. Ageolai and Alipio Caslan, c25, was artistic, and the singing of Beatrice Abrams also was pleasing. She taught at the piano and Edu Hopa Spin, sk^24, playing a violin obligato. Greek selections were given by Louis Spears, tenor, of Lawrence, and her sister, Michele Chine by Harry Lee, c24, Eong Lee, c24, and H. C. Koh, of Washburn.
Students Discuss Memorial Clean-Up at Class Meetings
Wied music of the Celestial nation was played by Shu Ya Yang, m'23; a firebands stunt by Prof. Ai Cederkler; a caked-up performance by Chisha, 62nd, of India and a dramatic monologue, "The Two Vagabonds," by Max Jaslow, instructor in English all added variety to the program. Music was supplied by Compton合普合唱团 of twelve pieces on strings circle.
Approximately $900,000 Has Been Pledged to Building of Kansas' Union and Stadium
"One hundred and twenty-eight men from this University answered the call to give to the fullest degree in the World War—men with just as fine tomorrows and you and I are grateful that we have them and all was wiped out so that you and I could enjoy today," said Edward F. Treftz of Chicago, urging the freshmen and sophomores to "carry on" in the clean-up Memorial Hall and in our classes of the University to finish the Memorial, begun two years."
"We have now $800,000 subscribed toward the primary aim to reach $1,000,000," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley. "You are beneficiaries more than any of the alumni who have already contributed so generously, and your support will change but subscribe thoughtfully and with a spirit of sacrifile."
Seniors Hear Old Student
"Don't do as I have done. Finish your school work you will be, here," said Frank Lindley Weaver octogenarian member of the class of '23, in speaking to the members of his class about the chemistry lecture room this morning.
Irving Hill, formerly in charge of the alumni association, spoke briefly on future satisfaction to be derived helping in the building of a Memorial.
To Remember Through Union
"Many nations of Europe have already forgotten why America went into the world war," said Severt Higgins, captain of the 1922 football team, in addressing the junior class this morning. "It will be large through such memorials as the Kansas memorial that we will be able to remember in coming years what America was like when they gave the soldiers who gave their lives in the service, will have died needlessly." J. haw Kuf, K. U's all-valley center, said "You upperclassman should realize that you have only one more year in this university and that year will pass very quickly. You should have a personal interest in something connected with this school. In later years when you visit the University, if there is something about which you want to learn, you had a personal interest in that; it will make you feel good."
Jayhawker Out April 15
Manager Expects to Have Few Unclaimed Copies
The Jayhawker will be out on April 15, which is a month earlier than it has ever appeared on the campus before. This will give it a circulation of a month and a half before school closes in the spring.
"Fifty out of the three hundred promises to pay have been collected by Luther Allen, collector for the 1923 Jayhawk, and we expect that the remaining $40,000 taken up by the 20th of this month," said Bill Brolm this morning.
The Jahawkwer manager is optimistic and said that out of the 1400 copies ordered, all will be sold with the exception of a few copies ordered by students who have since withdrawn from school. Unclaimed copies will be sold to anyone applying for them.
"We have a picture of the pin of every organization on the hill and also a new picture of each house. These pictures will be printed with the pictures of the respective organizations. There are more square inches of engraving in the book this time than in the first one said. This is the first time that pictures of the pins have been printed in the Jayhawker.
Police Closing Net
A letter received by the Lawrence police from Bertilion expert, Jack Jenkins, states that the finger prints taken from the strong box of the Sigma Alpha Epifan fraternity, the locks of which were forced to obtain the police identification, have been collected. The report is said to be one more step toward the arrest of certain suspected parties whose names are withheld by the police.
Dean Sayre Leaves For Food Meeting at Capitol
Dean L. E. Sayer, school of pharmacy, left Saturday for Washington, D. C., to attend the meeting of the Federal Committee on Definitions and Standards for the purpose of setting a number of standards for foods and drugs. Dean Sayer's particular problem is fruit-pie fillings.
The committee is composed of nine men from different parts of the United States who meet together once a year to discuss the effect inter-state traffic pertaining to the standard in price and the degree of purity of food commodities. This year they have as special problem the need to adjust standards in regard to standards and prices.

Jayhawkers Place Three Basketeteers On Mythical Five
Kansas and Missouri Only Teams Represented on All-Valley Quintet; "Endy" Captain
The All-Valley Basketball Teams
Kansas.
Center—Ackerman, Kansas.
Guards—Hays and Faurot, Missouri.
Forwards—Browning and Bunker, Missouri Center—Wulf, Kansas. Guards—Dendrett and Black, Kansas.
SECOND
SECOND Forwards—Wheat, Missouri, and Bowman, Kansas.
HONORABLE MENTION
Forwards—Greene, Ames; Booster, Drake;
Foval, Kansas Aggies; Wostemeyer,

Centers—Jacobson, Ames; Warren, Nebraaska; Thumser, W. washington; Benz, Grinell.
guards—Cocke, Oklahoma; Hahn, Kansas
Aggies; Roberts, Amos; Mesch, Kansas;
and Borehrake, Oklahoma.
In explaining the reason why Bunker of Missouri was placed at forward on the All-Missouri Valley five, Dr. F. C. Allen cited the following reason for the first place Bunker all season, from the center tip-off has gone to either a guard or forward position. Bunker is a dead shot, a clean player, and his advantage in taking the rebound, which is valuable, said Dr. Allen.
The choice of Endacott as captain of the team was almost unanimous. The fact that he led Kansas through a season of sixteen straight victories should be sufficient reason that he be made captain. There are other reasons. In his three years of competence, he was clean, sensationally, and vigorously. He was just as valuable on the offense as the defense.
Black was chosen as Endacott's running mate because he was quick to diagnose the attack of the enemy. It is the opinion of the Valley coaches that in that respect Black would rank player number 140 player that ever played the game.
Black Quick to Diagnose Plays
Wulf could not be displaced from the team. By many of the coaches he is rated as one of the best centers the Valley has ever produced. He played for Kansas when they needed him, and it was Wulf again who deflected many of an enemy shot. George William, former Missouri player, is rated as the star of his game, but he decidedly work on defense, while Wulf was strong on either.
Browning a Star
Browning, the other choice for forward, is estimated by the coaches of the Valley as one of the best forwards that ever roamed a basketball floor. It was the streaky dribbles and frightened feature featured Missouri's play all season.
This Valley team would be a wonder, according to Dr. P., C. Allen, with Endacott and Black to get the tip-off, with Bunker to play under the backyard and Browning to room the floor. This animation would be almost useless.
Wheat, of Missouri, and Bowman, of Kansas, were factors that helped their staff stay close to the top of the ladder. In Faurot and Hayes, of Missouri, the second team has a pair of guards who came near than anybody else to hold the Kansas scoring power down.
