"George W. Cable is a master of the short story, and Joel Chandler Harris is a master of the southern dialect story," said Miss Hull, choosing these authors as the subject for her talk. Cable was more far-sighted than Ms. Harris, and came unpapal in the South because he championed the cause of the negro.

Senior Society Will Campaign for Honor System in University
Sachems Initiate Move to Create Plan Eliminating Unethical Quiz Habits
Sachem, men's senior honorary society, will give its full support to the honor system should the student body adopt the plan at the University of Kansas. The members of the society pledged themselves in a meeting Wednesday, to give their help in establishing such a policy. At this meeting, Lloyd Ruppertain, president of Sachem, appointed a committee of the Athletic Department man, to obtain the students' views concerning the subject and to bring it before the student body for consideration.
According to the chairman of the committee the question of the adoption of the system will be discussed with all members of the way brought before the various organizations of the University. If the report from them is favorable, it will be one step further toward an agreement, according to Mr. Ruperthell.
Mr. Ruppenthal said this morning that the members of Schem would observe in the meanwhile all the rules which such a system would imposs on the students of the University.
The most notable example of the many colleges and universities where the plan has been adopted is the University of Illinois, where each new student is informed that he is on his honor and that he is trusted. The University of Missouri also has adopted a system in which students are given the instructor leaves his classroom and each student is placed upon his honor.
The faculty of the University of Kansas has taken no action in the matter. Members of Sachem believe that the honor system is a better way to teach, and can only be initiated here through efforts of the students themselves.

In his message, the Governor called attention to the fact that salary items had been increased $472,000 for the educational institutions. He stated that he protested against this but that as insincerity as he could not veto without "doing an unreasonable bill" he felt compelled to sign the bill.
Appropriations too High
When Governor Davis today returned to the educational committee of the legislature the appropriation bill in which he disapproved a $6000 appropriation for Southeastern Kansas, Vice Chair Hattfield of the house ways and means committee, and question of personal defense andlege and the answer of personal Daviess message was an insult to his committee and to the members of the legislature.

Contributions Grow For Russian Relief But More is Asked
"The results of the work of the Russian Relief association will far outstrip the work of last year," said Helen Jaka in an interview this morning, more clothing is needed, and the items that are in fairly wearable condition."
“If anyone has any old clothes that no longer need, or clothes that they think that they will be able to wear once, or notify the Kansan office and they will be called for. However, we want clothes and shoes that will be wearable when they arrive at a station in Russia,” said Miss Jaka.
"Those students who do not have any clothes which they feel that they can give to the association may do their bit by donating money. Checks are mailed to the organization may be mailed to the Kauai office or charge in care of the Kauai office.
“Collection of material will be a feature of the meeting of the Relief committee tonight, when an assessment of one cent on each year of the age of each member of the committee will be made,” said Miss Jaka.
The work of Russian Relief is under the auspices of the department of journalism with Helen Jaka and Clare Fergusson in charge. The committee here is sending its contributions to Russia through the American Friends Service Committee. The department of journalism is adding the charges by paying all of the expenses charged to the shipments of goods to Russia.

A Student Union Building Next!
Building of Union Will be Realized As Fund Increases
Quarters for Every Need Will be Considered; Michigan Plans Serve as
Model
At the outset, the Michigan Union was chosen as the model for the K. U. building, and the architects of the Michigan structure were engaged to build a new campus, Goldamth, head of the department of architecture here, on the plans for the Kansas Student Union. Although the present design of the Kansas University campus has the first plan, Michigan still serves as the model for the K. U. structure.
That the time is at hand when the Student-Union Building at K. U. will be a reality, is shown by a survey of the architects work and the planning being done by the officers of the Memorial Corporation. The progress of the fund and the most recent ideas contained in the University are contained in "The Last Milk," a campaign news letter now being sent to non-subcribers.
Club Rooms for Women
Recent plans place the large lounging and reading rooms on the first floor of the Union. The women are to have their club rooms as well as the men. Chancellor Lindley, who has made a study of the Michigan Union, said the fact that the interests of the women are given little regard to the problems of the Union there. He let it be understood that no such discrimination would be found in the Kansas building.
Two banquet halls, one large and one small, will be located on the second floor; these will fill a need long felt at the University. Several smaller halls on the second floor will be available as meeting places for University organizations and groups that have no permanent quarters.
Quarters for Every Need
The third floor will consist largely of dormitory rooms for the use of the returning alumni. These will be well equipped, many of them having baths in connection. The basement will house the Commons as well as areas where officers for the leaders in student activities will be located in the Union.
These are only a few of the appointments of the Union as planned. The various purposes that it will serve are too numerous to list here; but the whole idea is that it will be designed so that people whose clique or group will have preferred rights in the Union; its use will be open to all alike.
An Outline of Its Use
H, E. Riggs, a K. U. graduate, now of the Michigan faculty, has seen the Union there serve people successfully since its completion. Very enthusiastic about student buildings, he outlines their uses as follows:
1. The Union makes it possible for the University to invite and properly entertain conventions.
2. The Union affords a comfortable, home-like place for returning alumni and visitors of the school.
3. The Union makes possible closer association of the different groups in the University.
4. The Union permits guidance of tudent activities.
5. The Union emphasizes the democracy of the State University. In Michigan as many as 1,400 students attend the university. The facilities include those for dining, conference, reading, recreation, and lodging.
