Committee
Louis F. Miller has been named as the student chairman of the coming Memorial campaign which is to be started on the campus March 12. An executive committee of nine students and one faculty member has been selected and will work in conjunction with Karl T. Finn, organization secretary.
The members of the executive committee are: Louis F. Miller, chairman; Severt Higgins, Harold Burd, June Judy, Lea Baumgartner, Orpha Hardling, Waldo Bowman, Ben Hearn, Gwendolyn Gafford, and Prof. W. W. Davis.
Campaign by Schools
At a recent meeting of the committee it was decided to organize the campaign by schools, and leaders for the various schools were named. Working under each leader will be a number of captains who will each have charge of a squad of ten solicitorials and solicitors will be chosen later.
The leaders of the schools are: Engineering, Waldo Bowman; College, Harold Burt and Orpha Harding; Fine Arts, June Judy; Education, Fred Gardner; Graduate, Shewrin Wood; Pharmacy, Gary Harmeyer; Joe Wools; Medical, George稳muld and John Winkler; faculty and employees, Professor Davis.
The lists of the students, faculty members, and employees of the University who have not yet contributed to the Stadium-Union fund have been listed here. The list also includes who have not subscribed are enrolled here. The list also includes 168 employees and faculty, making a total of more than 2,000 who will be up
Will Reach Alumni Also
In addition to this large number of students and faculty, there are about 9,000 alumni and former students of the University who have not subscribed and who will be asked to contribute in the final clean-up campaign.
"I cannot emphasize too much the need for finishing this job successfully," declared Chairman Miller in his speech. "The directors of the corporation have shown very clearly that we must have pledges amounting to $1,000,000 net before the Student Union can be paid." He could could think of giving up the Union."
The average subscription among the students in the initial campus campaign waged here in the fall of 1920 was about $60. Miller and Mr. Finn both expressed the belief that the average student subscription in the coming campaign will easily equal the mark set in 1920.

last of Outside Work
On Women's Dormitory
Completed This Month
Plastering Begins Next Month
—Building Will Be Ready
For Occupancy July 1
Concrete is now being poured for the fourth floor of the women's new dormitory on North College hill. Workmen will begin the plastering sometime during the first of next week, and it will be made by a general Superintendent J. P. Brady, the building will be ready for occupancy by the first of July.
The dormitory is to be a thoroughly modern affair with all the equipment of an up-to-date apartment house. It will accommodate 150 girls besides rooms for the janitor, house nurse, and a convalescence ward. Each room is to be furnished with a dresser, a chiffonier, a large door leading into the study. The large study and sleeping room there will be a kitchenette for light housekeeping. There are about seventy-five of these study rooms.
Owing to the slope of the hill on the east side of the structure, there will be six stories on that side, and on the west there will be only four floors. The formation of the hill presented no little difficulty in the laying of the foundations. According to some of the older residents on Ohio street, the hill has constantly been shifting and this shifting is this shifting it was necessary to submerge the foundation eight feet below the surface in almost solid rock. The building has been tied together firmly with iron beams and steel joists making the structure practically immune from this danger.
The dormitory is to follow the old English Colonial style. It will have an imposing entrance of a large porch above Twelfth street with a balcony below.
Every precaution has been taken to make the building fireproof. It has a slate roof and fireproof stairs. The floors are of oak overlaid on concrete. An electric elevator will connect every floor.
For social functions there will be a parlor in each story. A large pavilion on the first floor will furnish room for entertainments and parties. The rooms will be rented at the nominal fee of fifteen dollars for single rooms and twenty-five for double rooms.
The building is being built by the M. J. Green Construction Company of Manhattan. J. P. Brady is the local superintendent of construction and Edmund Berger is the chief assistant. Cost is estimated at about $156,000.
One of the features of the structure is that the masonry is solely a product of the state. The bricks are shipped from the penitentiary at Lansing and the stonework is from the quarry on the campus.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars is an organization which is rapidly becoming an important factor in our national life. It had a small beginning but is swelling its ranks until now there are 150,000 members. The Army has over 400,000 soldiers in Denver in 1899 for the benefit of soldiers of the Spanish-American War. Restriction of membership limited the Veterans of Foreign Wars to the veterans of the Spanish-American War, but since the World War any ex-solider must be active service outside the United States is eligible to membership.
Maj. Gen. Wilson S. Metcalf, retired, of Lawrence, was one of the national organizers and served as naval commander during World War II. Metcalf has given his support to the ex-service men since this organization was formed and is now working hard for the uplift of all men who have served with the U. S. forces on land and sea.
The local post was organized Dec.
21, 1921, with twenty members on
the charter and was named for First

French Soldiers Ignore German Citizens With Air of Calm Indifference
[tyu U. P. Staff Correspondent]
Dusseldorf, Mar. 1—Despite a stream of stories regarding the "brutality" of the occupation, stories emitted uninterruptedly by German propaganda bureaus, which invariably are found to be exaggerated, a trip that includes the possibility that the occupation has so far weighed very lightly on the population as occupations go.
One of the remarkable features of this French venture is the carefulness of the troops with respect to the rights and liberties of the inhabitants with which, so far as possible, they avoid interfering.
In general, the attitude of troops toward inhabitants and vice versa is one of studied baughty indifference, ostentatiously ignoring the other.
I watched a column of French troops march through the streets of Essen at midnight when the streets were crowded. The soldiers marched with business-like men, looking straight ahead, paying the slightest attention to the people on the sidewalks. On their part, the Germans carefully ignored the presence of any people they adjourned to on their own.

Pay for "Jayhawkers"
Collection Campaign to be Waged by Local Solicitors
A campaign will be waged by the "Jayhawk" managers to make collections on all "Jayhawk" cards which were signed up at the beginning of the year and on which no payment has yet been made. Luther Kaiser, the firm's official solicitor for these now long overdue payments.
"Payment should be made at once if those who signed cards and have not paid for them desire to have them pay." Bill Brom, business manager, this morning. "Under no condition will books be held for those who have not paid up by March 20." The printing and engraving bills are now falling through the windows of the reasons the managers are starting this collection campaign.
Another reason is that this year's managers are eager to pay off the debt, amounting to about $300, overhanging from the "Jayhawketer" of 1987. The managers of the 1922 annual just about broke even with the expenditures, and the present managers feel that if they who have not yet paid for their "Jayhawketer" will do so when Mr. Allen solicits that the debt can be cleared up this year.
Shakespearean Players Will be Here March 1
Walter Hampton and his troupe of Shakespearean players, who will play next week at the Stubert theatre in New York, will be coming to the Bowersock theater Monday night, March 19. They will present a different play each night in Kannsas City. It has not yet been chosen for the Lawrence engagement.
Mr. Hampton, being one of the younger Shakespearean players, has made quite a reputation for himself in the East. The Literary Digest newspaper gave him several awards to very favorable criticism of Hampton and his players.
The game was hotly contested from the start. Fouls were numerous, and the ball jocked back and forth between the two quintets as one and then the other was forced to the defense. A quick pass from a defensive drive. The guarding of both teams was a feature of the game, both being forced to resort to long shots at the opponent's basket after time; but the game was interrupted with brilliant attacks which carried the offensive deep into enemy territory.
John Wulf Stars
John Wulf, the lanky Jayhawkier center, starred for the Mount Oread teams, both on the offense and defense, particularly on the latter. His uncanny ability to break up plays was a signature skill, probably saved the day for the Kansans. Paul Endacott, captain, his pivot-mant a close second in scoring and guarding honors, grabbing the ball off the backboard with remarkable consistency and effectively up the invaders' offensive drives.
Waldo Bowman, forward, played an incomparable game in conjunction with his running mate, Tusten Ackerman; Bowman eluded the tactic of a fast pass and again, working in to the basket. Ackerman was closely guarded by D. B. Faurot of the Tiger team, and failed to register a field counter throughout the game. He did, however,得7 points by the free-throw line.
Black Plays Stellar Defense
Charles Black, running-mate of Endacott, played a stellar defense game which drew the visitors, in the last few minutes of play, out of their fortress under the basket, aiding materially in cracking their remarkable guarding.
F. H. Wheat, Tiger forward, was the outstanding player for Missouri, adding 10 points to the score in field goals at opportunity times. J. A. Browning, the much-touted Tiger forward, was able to secure a triple during an entire game. He pierced the hoop for one-point counters six times.
Bunker Get One Field Goal

K.C. U. Chancellor Resigns Students Ask Trustees For His Removal
John Clark Williams resigned as chancellor of the Kansas City University late yesterday afternoon, as a result of a petition presented to the board of trustees yesterday morning asking for his removal. The petition was signed by eighty-four of 145 students. A stormy session of the board of trustees ended of which the Chancellor tendered his resignation and it was accented.
The trouble is said to have started through gossip by an employee at the school to the effect that the school was poorly managed and staffed. The case a situation existed at the university that Chancellor Williams could not handle. An audit of the books showed nothing definite. "My report accounts for every dollar," the Chancellor said, which has been very painful to me."
The elimax came yesterday when the petition was presented, but there had been no report on it when the petition announced he would re-sign.
