Ask Contributions To Russian Relief Committee Here
Those Desiring to Donate
May Call K. U. 25 and
Leave Name and
Address
Contributions of clothing as well as money, are needed for alleviating the condition of the starving Russians, according to Claire Ferguson and Helen Jaka, at the head of the Russian relief committee, who are responsible for clothing here, and who have asked other persons who can to donate.
Reports of available clothing should be turned in at the Kansan office before noon tomorrow as the committee is planning to get everything in hand by that time. They ask that contributors call K. U. 25 and give name and address, and cars will be sent for the material.
Desire Durable Articles
All clothing will be mended and prepared for shipment to the American Friends Service committee at Philadelphia, by women of the department of journalism, and will be sent from there for distribution to the needy Russians. This is considered the best agency for relief in the United States, aside from the department, which provides articles of quality, possesses durability and warmth. Clothing for the very young is especially solicited.
George Ines, of the Iines and Hackman department store has agreed to give a substantial reduction for the purchase of goods and services by the clothes which are to be bought by the committee from the money gifts.
Press Club to Give Pennies
At the Press Club meeting tomorrow night each person is asked to bring pennies equal in number to his age, and more if possible. Any other donations in addition to those of the press Club will be appreciated at this time.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1923
A similar movement, sponsored by the department of journalism last year, entirely on its own initiative, received a gratifying response and indications are that the results this week even better, according to Miss Jaka.
Need Greater Than Ever
"This year, more than ever before, there is an urgent need in Russia," a member of the committee said. "Conditions are terrible. Food, clothing, and money is needed at once, and while we are living in comparatively luxurious conditions, we cannot sacrifice us. We have someone from freezing, or a few dollars to prevent a little Russian baby from starving."

A large amount of contributions have been received so far, but we are not more. The deadline is Saturday, and all material, both written and illustrated must be in at this time.
"The $25.00 in prize money offered by the Owl Society for the best contributions should be kept in mind when planning a portfolio.

Kansas is not the only school that has the Student Union "rug," if communications that Karl T. Fim, organization secretary, receives are any indication. He has a desk full of letters and pamphlets from representative schools throughout the country, including planning or building student unions.
One of the most interesting booklets comes from Texas University, where the plan is to build an elaborate Million Dollar Varsity, as they vail it. At M. U. the intention is to spoonfeed students on a Memorial Union and the University of Indiana raising the same amount for their new building.
Texas, iowa, and Maine State Schools Plan Student Buildings
Other Universities Besides Kansas are Building Memorials
A campaign at Iowa calls for the raising of $1,000,000 for a student building; their subscription list is already growing rapidly. Purpose "the new union will also be in the million," says Mr. Murray. "It will be a useful, and it will now well under way." The University of Maine, not to be outdone by the western schools, will have a Memorial Student Building. Nor is K. U. the only school in the state that will have a building owned by the students themselves. At Emporium, all completed plans for a $1,000,000 Memorial Building.
But above them all stands the Michigan Union, for it is finished and in use, and is proving more popular each year. Completed at the cost of $40 million, the standing successes among the student union projects of the West. The Kansas building will be modeled upon somewhat the same plan as the Michigan Union. Incidentally, the architects, Pond & Pond, who designed the campus, are jointly with Prof. Goldwin Goldamthon on the plans for the K. U. structure.

Republican Senate Expects Governor To Veto Measure
Both Factions are Awaiting Climax on Appointments and the One-Judge Court Bill
Topeka, March 7—The climax of the conflict between Gov. Jonathan M. Dwille and the Republican legislature is expected. Senate goes into executive session to consider the appointments which the Governor has sent in for confirmation.
Both factions have been tightening their lines all this week for the final struggle. Governor Davis sent a special message to the legislature calling attention to its failure to consolidate boards and commissions.
Governor Prefers Democrats
Governor Howard he is accustomed to show that he was still in the mood to use his veto power. He also sent in recommendations to place Democrats instead of Republican appointments on the court and public utilities commission.
This last step, carrying the appointment of Henderson Martin, of Lawrence, and Lee Goodrich, of Parsons, as members of the old industrial court, is understood to mean that the Governor has abandoned the idea of being able to get the court law abolished and that he has deterred any judge who would endorse it. I'll that the house is expected to pass late today.
A house caucus was immediately called and it was agreed that all Republican members should stay on the job to the last minute of the session in order to pass measures over the Governor's veto.
House Caucus Called
Snow Zoology Club will meet Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in room 204, Snow Hall. Papers will be read by Copeland Blowers, Leonna Baumgartner, and Helen Converse. W. T. Pommerenke, Pres.

Poster Prizes Offered By Memorial Corporation
Three prizes will be given, the winner of first place placing $6, the second $3, and the third best $2. The posters entered in the competition will receive a trip to Camp Monroeville campaign which starts on the campus next Monday.
Few are Competing For Prizes Offered For Memorial Essays
Committee in Charge Suggests Revisements to Create More Interest
Some have urged alterations to popularize the competitions. It is suggested that instead of being announced at commencement, the winners be announced during the school year, and as one professor would be told by a Varsity athlete. It is further urged that the faculty members of the many departments where the essays would only logically supplement their classroom work, should co-operate in arousing interest. Unfavorable comparisons with eastern institution peers are also covered by great numbers apart from the monetary decrements, were cited.
There is a widespread indifference toward the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Memorial essay competition and the Bryn context, according to faculty members at the school. The average number of manuscripts submitted, according to Prof. W. S. Johnson, does not xsex six, although there are four prizes aggregating $250. Twice in the last three freshmen have won first awards.
"Twenty-five manuscripts," one instructor said, "should be the least number offered in such a competition."
Annual Law Scrim Will be Informal Party This Spring
Allen Orchestra of Emporii Has Been Engaged to Furnish Melodies on March 16
The Law Scrim, annual jamboree of the School of Law, will be held at F. A. U. hall Friday evening. March 21 commencement ude today by the managers.
Tickets will be placed on sale to tomorrow in the School of Law, but sale this year will be restricted to students in that school. Pre-laws, however, will not be denied tickets, according to the managers, but there will be no other departure from the rule of "Law Students Only."
To be Informal Party
After a conference with the University authorities who desire that as much expense as possible be spared students at this time, the management is making the party an informal affair.
Manager Robert Smith, in speaking of the decorations and music, said that arrangements had been completed to make this year's Sermi one of the most enjoyable and informal parties that has been given at the University for several years. "We are exceptionally fortunate," he said, "to see our orchestra of Emporia. That music, alone will ensure a good time."
"The Law Serim is given annually by the students of the School of Law in an effort to show their appreciation to the football squad," Smith concludes. Of course, the football men of the preseason season are the guests of honor."
Football Men to Be Guests
When They Get the Last Rail Laid, She Can Start
Until the Law Sermin of last year, the affairs of the past and always been formal parties. The guests of honor of this years' Sermin will include many well known University faculty members and men high in state affairs
But it is a big, heavy railway to handle. It represents an increase of subscriptions from almost $900,000 the present figure, to $1,000,000 the total goal. It calls for the united efforts of admiens and citizens of Kanzai general—men and women who can be involved in the construction of the railway.

Good Ship Kansas Drifts as Pilots Await 'Grid' Bids
Quest for Jamboree Invites Leads Captain, Mates, and Deckhands to Quit Posts
Affairs of state at Topeka are sidetracked today.
Staid senators and dignified representatives fought with officers of state today to gain a place in the line which quickly formed in front of the legislative postoffice when the senators were getting invitations to the Kansan's first Gridiron Dinner, which will be given at K. U. by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, Wednesday evening, March 28.
The Gridiron Dinner is modeled after the famous dinner of the National Press Club at Washington, D.C. "Gridiron" has no connection with football, but typifies the gentle browning over the grid of good-natured satire and wholesome caricature.
Invitations have been limited to 125 hand-picked guests. The invited include state officials, men prominent in the public life of Kansas, a number of the most vulnerable faculty members, a few students, and some of the business and professional men of the town.
Governor Gets Invitation
Among those who have been asked to step into the frying pan of kindly counsel, is Jonathan M. Davis; Charles Sessions, postmaster at Topca; Nortur, state auditor; Bert Walker, state printer; Clark Griffith, attorney-general; A. A. Doerr, state business manager; and Mack Cretcher, secretary to the governor. To lend dignity to the occasion, the seven members of the Supreme Court have been invited.
Among other prominent Kansans who have been asked to come to K. U. Gridron night are Senator Antror Capper, A. B. Carney, Charles Curts, Dan Anthony, W. M. Jardine, Thomas Porter, John Morgan, Bert Barrier, Marcus Murdock, F. C. McLennan, Marco Moro, Ed. Little, and Bill Townsley.
Letters of Warning Help
Less Than One-Fourth Fail to Raise Grades
These letters are sent out not to frighten students, but to warn them that they are near the danger line," explained J. G. Brantz, dean of the College. "The letters worked very well to the first semester," he continued.
Five hundred and forty-four students in the College were sent warning letters from the offices of the university, informing them that their first semester this year, informing them that they had received an excessive number of D's and flunks or were failing in over forty per cent work for the first half of the semester.
Of the number warned, 121 failed in over forty per cent of their work at the end of the semester and were dismissed from the College. The remuneration students warned at mid-sementer or over 77 per cent of the entire number warned, raised their grades by the semester, were allowed to go on with their work.
Mid-semester grades for the 'second semester will be in the office of the dean not later than March 23, it was announced by Miss Veta Lear, secretary to the dean. No grades will be given to students until April 16, so the fact that they must be filled, placed alphabetically, checked, and transcribed for advisers before they will be ready to be given out.
The Lawrence Reserve Officers Association will meet Thursday evening, March 8, at 8:00 in the lecture room in the Engineering building. Dr. Wesley L. Koch, Area Commander, and Major Union, chief of the Staff will be the guests and the speakers of the evening.
