Need More Money For Construction Of Union Building
Last Lap of Campaign Wil Reach All Non-Contributors During Week of March 12
The necessity for a final successful campaign to complete the Stadium-Union fund was emphasized to the secretary, in discussing the present status of the Memorial campaign. He pointed out that the Memorial Corporation must secure more funds behind his building and instead build Union building can be started.
Plans for the final lap of the campa-
men are rapidly taking shape; the campa-
men will reach alumni, faculty
members, students, and friends of the
University who have not already con-
tributed to the fund. The campa-
men will be startled Monday,
March 12, and will last one week
minutes and student leaders are
being selected and will be announced soon.
Subscriptions to the Stadium-Union fund have reached a total of $888, 871, 65, according to Treasurer Sherman G. Ellibot, of the Memorial Corporation. The original goal for the fund is to raise $25 million from directors of the corporation feel that the figure must be raised above the original mark enough to cover the cost of the campaigns and the shrinkage. One million dollars net, the reserve must be assured before the work can be started on the Union Building.
High Total Reached
Goal Set at Million Net
The goal for the clean-up campaign among both alumni and students has been set at $1,000,000 net, and when it is reached the completion of the stadium and the erection of the Union will be assured.
"The agreement with the banners concerning payments for the stadium will be fulfilled by summer," said Mr. Finn, "and the Student Union commenced immediately if the necessary additional funds are obtained."
Lists of students and faculty members who have not contributed are being compiled, and will be completed within the next few days. As the last comprehensive campus campaign was held her more than a year ago, it is certain that the number of student not yet approached will be large.
Cast Chosen for "Mr. Pim'
Three Act Comedy a Series o Humorous Situations
"Mr. Pim Passes by" is a delightful comedy and the cast will start working on it immediately," said Miss Cecile Burton of the department of public speaking this morning. "The film will be on Monday and will be in Lawrence two weeks later."
The cast is composed of seven characters, and they are as follows: Ralph Ball, Mr. Pim; Dwight Norris, George Marden; Albert Kerr, Brian Strange; Francis Wilson, Olivia Marin; Dorothy Hartin, Dinah; Dorothy Brandle, Lady Marden; Betty Silfs, Ann.
The play is divided into three acts and deals with the mental turmoil of an English gentleman who finds that his wife is most innocently a bigamist. The wife thinks her first husband, who happened to be a man she didn't like, and a forger at that, is a murderer. He meets Marden, the man she really loves Into this quiet domestic scene blunches an absent-minded old gentleman, "Mr. Pim," after whose arrival a series of humorous situations arise.

Annual "Jayhawker" Is to Include Index As Unusual Feature
Organizations And Individuals Will be Listed Separately In 1923 Book
A unique feature of this year's "Jayhawker" will be a complete, eight page index covering both organizations and individuals. This is the first time in the history of the "Jayhawker" that such a thing has been attempted, and in order to carry out its purpose, the company sary to have a card index system of 3500 cards from which the index will be compiled.
"The Jayhawkier" is more nearly complete than any other Valley publication. Four hundred pages are ready to be printed and the remainder will be ready this week," said E. F. "Ted" Hudson, editor, who made a trip Saturday to Jefferson High School, lished, to read proof, "The color work is to be printed this week, and the covers are now being stumped."

The final order which will set the presses roller toward the completion of the annual will be given the middle of March, and delivery will be about April 15. This is approximately a month earlier than the usual time before, the usual time of delivery having heretofore been in May.
"It is peculiar," said "Ted" Hudson his morning, "most of the secretaries of organizations on the Hill do not know the correct names of the letters in a name," he says, names turned in, we usually let a name go through which appears with the same spelling elsewhere. However, it has taken hours to correct the spelling of hundreds of names opposed to be right in the first place."

The committee then voted on the Amendment Legion executive committee, also appeared before the committee and stated that the ex-service men are interested only in a speedy distribution of the bonus check.

Campus Clock Cuts Class for Rest Cure
Struggleingly bravely against the onslaughts of fire, pigeons and English sparrows, it still stands as king of the camouflage clocks—because there is but one. Several times we have seen that the end was near. Its pale face, its hairy hands, attempted dignity—they all are forerunners of the Reckoning.
The much abused Blake hall chromometer—which has stood as a feeble, though unrelenting tyrant over late 1960s fathers and father-fathers—has suffered a relapse.

Novel Engineers' Day Discussed at Marvin Assembly
Gold Medal For Scholarship Is Awarded Freshman From Kansas City, Kansas
"I am in favor of a modified and a revised Engineers' Day," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley this morning in a concoction of the School of Engineering in Marvin hall. "I have commendation for the spirit shown by the Schools of Engineering and Law.
If the School of Engineering were granted an elaborate celebration for one day in the year, every school on the campus would want one and that would produce a schedule much too complicated. A celebration of En-
gineers' ways to include only engineers, would be much more satisfactory.
Propose Conference Day
Propose Committee
"The conference spoken of be once a very useful part of the day's program. The School of Engineering will benefit by the addresses of eminent men; and the program for the conference on you and your constructive images to meet your exhibit both illuminating and helpful to the University. Also the recommendation of the committee to confine social functions to one school only will be followed."

Bonus Bonds are Offered
Kansans May Buy Non-Taxable Compensation Issue

"No safer non-taxable security can be found," states the letter. "It has been suggested that the entire issue of security should be absorbed by Kansas banks and Kansas citizens."

Dean Kelly Talks to Y.W
State Institutions Judged By Type of Leadership
"The best thing one can get out of a college education are the qualities of leadership," said Dean F. J. Kelly in speaking on the subject of "Students and Christian Leadership," yesterday before the Y. W. C. A. "Get things and things and when you get out in life, leadership will be granted to you."
"Whether we have state supported institutions in the next few years depends upon the type of leadership we turn out," he continued. "The essential qualities underlying this higher education place a body of fixed principles. One must have a firm foundation. Secondly, the quality of fearlessness to do that which we know is right. Leadership is determined by whether can stand alone against the motive forces. He must have a mind of his own."
Representative Condemns Frats
A representative in the Missouri legislature who thinks fraternities encourage snobbery attempted to strike from the anti-frat bill, which was being considered by the Missouri legislature, the provision excluding fraternity membership and the state teacher's college.

The building will seat approximately 2500 spectators. The present gymnasium accommodates less than half this number.
Jayhawkers Clash With Missourians For Title Tonight
Both Teams in Fairly Good Condition; Style of Local Defensive Depends on Visitors
Tonight on the Robinson Gymnastics court, the University of Kansas basketball five will attempt to finish the season without a defea, a record which has never been established in the Missouri Valley Conference, the proclaims, and 1989 Dr. F. C. Allen, the professional one game of establishing the seemingly impossible. In 1920 and 1921 the Kansas AAGes "blues" Missouri's chances for a perfect record by defeating the Tigers in the final game.
The Kansas team has been rather hard-hit by the "fin," several members of the quintet have succumbed and partially recovered from its effects during the last few days. Fredrick, second-stinger center, was the Woolf, followed by Mooby Wolf and Bowman follower Freddie, in the order named, and Endcott had a touch of the disease. This morning the team as a whole looked good, and can be said to be equal to the visiting team.
Browning, the phenomenal Tiger forward, hurt his shoulder in the Washington game. In the Tiger-Argile game he was not up to standard. One of the enemy's crack forwards may be out of the running tonight.
Browning Hurts Shoulder
All in all, it is likely to be the team that "cracks" under the strain the quickest, which yields to its stronger adversary. Doctor Allen is a great believer in the saying, "A team which will not be beaten, can win." And another agrimony will be filled to capacity. Nearly 3,000 seats have been sold.
Mizzou Has Two Styles
Missouri has two styles of play: the short-pass, short-short game; and the long-short game. In the former, the player shoots the short-pass plays, the man work the short-short game in the basket and close in for a short throw. When the defense of the opponent proves too strong, the Missourians try for the basket from the middle of the court, thereby drawing the opposing guard away from the basket, passing it in through the thinned ranks, and try for goals on the short-short method.
The visitors will probably use the long-shot game for a few minutes tomorrow night in order to draw the Allenites away from the goal, and in order to test Browning's ability at long shooting. If the flashy forward connects, they will likely resort to the long shots throughout the game.
Doc Has Something on Tap
Doe Has Something on Tap
"Doe" Allen has something up his sleeve. He probably a surprise for the visitors, and it will take a surprise to shake
