NUMBER 90
Faculty of School Will Decide What Expression Tradition Will
The traditional "Engineers' day," which so abruptly abandoned its traditional aspects last spring after the "misunderstanding," will probably be explained according to Burnet F. Treat, president of the School of Engineering.
University authorities have approved the general idea of the day and have given to the faculty of the School of Engineering the power to decide definitely upon just what ex-
"It has been a custom and tradition held high by alumni and undergraduates as well, and will not be allowed to die. The constructive elements of the program will tend to advertise the school and mukle for closer coherence within the school," said Treat in discussing the day.
Authorities Approve Plan
Demonstrate Work on Friday
The representatives of the various engineering societies and the student affairs committee of the School of Engineering have submitted to the faculty of the school a tentative plan for its improvement, about the middle of April. If approved, the two days will probably be a Friday and Saturday.
Friday morning the lectures which have become customary through the efforts of A. T. Walker, dean of the school, will be the important event. The students will hold an exhibit of all of the engineers equipment, with every wheel turning. Late Friday evening the engineering show will be presented. The electrical engineers have planned some spectacular stunts for this part of the workshop, and the students "under grades" and alumni will gather for the annual School of Engineering banquet.

Citizen Training Task of Veteran Bureau --Dunlop
Occational Assistant Tells of Work in Connection With Training Ex- Service Men
"If we fail to turn out men of character with high ideals of citizenship, we have failed in the most important element of our job," said W. H. Dunlop, rehabilitated assistant for the United States Veteran's Bureau, in an interview this morning. Mr. Dunlop, who is located in Kansas as a university administrator, trips of inspection and supervision in connection with 100 men who are enrolled in the University of Kansas as "disabled veterans."
"The Veteran" Bureau attempts to place injured ex-service men in the same economic status which they would have enjoyed had they never been in the service. Not every disjunctive Bureau does not even attempt it. Before a man is granted vocational training he must have proved that he is worthy of it. His character, habits, home life, in fact, every aspect of his life is carefully considered even before he arrives at the best vocational training for him.
"The work of the Veterans' Bureau covers three distinct divisions—Insurance, Medical, and Training. In order to receive consideration from the bureau a man must have both a physical and vocational handicap which has been a result of his service.
Covers Three Fields
"Every case is considered individually. The government allows the onearn forty-eight months in which you are not paid, but not mean that every man is entitled to this much training. He is trained; until he is prepared to enter the employment of some firm on the same a service, a man who has never seen a woman."
"The purpose of the bureau is vocational not educational. A man who is enrolled in the cultural subjects of the University as a "trainee" is considered by the bureau to be working toward the definite objective of a degree which will make him "vocational prepared."
Divide Training in Three Branches
"There are two types of training, Institutional and Placement. The institutional type involves training at some education institution which will provide the students with some professional work. The placement branch takes a man and places him in the employ of some firm with the end in view of instruction rather than production. He receives no compensation from the firm, but is required to placement through the veteran's "bursement."
In conclusion, Mr. Dumlip stated that there are over 100,000 disabled veterans in the United States today receiving vocational training, that over 50 per cent of the men so trained have been successful in their chosen vocation, that the average annual earnings of those increased several hundred dollars by reason of their training, and that to all outward appearances the bureau is succeeding in its most important job of making citizens of character.

Law School Declines To Have Traditional Engineer-Law Debate
Engineering Students Seek Renew Relations With Former Opponents
"At although the Engineer-Law debate is be encouraged by the School of Engineering, the Laws have no intention of resuming the debate." said Barney Bucher, president of the School of Law in an interview today.
The annual Engineer-Law debate has been a University event for many years, but owing to the difficulties which tended toward guerrilla warfare on Engineers' day last year, the debate was not held.
Three years ago Delta Sigma Rho, debatir. fraternity, offered a cap to the Army and a national debates. The School of Engineering won two of the debates, but the School of Law won the last one. The cap remains in their possession.
In a signed statement to the Kansan, Burnett F. Treat, president of the School of Engineering, says: "Because of the diplomatic break between the School of Law and the School of Engineering last spring, much heralded tradition was killed in its youth. The Engineer-Law debate had already taken its place among university traditions and bade fair on university traditions and rivalry which gave individuality which gave individuality to the various schools and at the same time strengthened the whole undercurrent of university spirit.
"That the engineers favor a continuance of the debate was evidenced by the fact that they desired forfeiture the effect cup by the Laws to Delta Sigma Rho for further inter-school contests. It is intimated that a formal challenge to open a debate during the year will be presented in future by the School of Engineering."
From being an engineering student on the campus to ruling as a king in the Congo, is the record of Hill P. Wilson, B. S.' 05, as reported in the Kansas City Star.

Goldwin Goldamith, professor of architecture, and Joseph W. Kellogg, professor of architectural design, spent yesterday in Topoka to assist in securing the passage of a bill requiring the registration of architects. The Goldamith acted as spokesman for the State Society of Architecture.
"The passage of this bill would mean a guarantee to the people of reliable architects, thus acting as a safeguard against any more disasters as the caving in in the Shrine Temple at Salma," said Professor Goldsmith. "The board would also be self-supporting and would not require financial support of the state. The bill is not able to the bill because they are opposed to the creation of a new board."

Moderns are Movie Crazy
Dean Kent Says Ancient Greeks Liked Real Drama
"We are crazy about the movies. At least 10,000 people attend the movies every week in Lawrence," said Dean R. A. Kent yesterday afternoon, when comparing the amusements of the people here to those of the European peoples and the ancient Greeks.
"This is no reflection on the people of Lawrence, for what is there to do here except go to the movies?" In Italy, for instance, there are numerous art galleries throughout the country and the peasant class as well as the upper class spend much of their leisure time at these art galleries. Good music is also common. There are a number of products such low prices that even the poor can attend them. But we have no are galleries and no operas and I know of no city this size in this country that has.
"Americans think they appreciate art, literature and drama. Americans think they are well educated, but if they went through what the Greeks taught them, they would be pretty bored. The ancient Greeks rose early in the morning and sat through the morning part of the performance; at noon they remained in the amphitheater eating the lunch buffet and then went home. Then then sat through the long afternoon performance and until late in the evening. This is real appreciation."

German Socialists In Ruhr District Ready for Peace
Will Make Settlement With French on Basis of Payment and Reparation
By Carl D. Groat
Esseen, Feb. 20—German Socialists in the虹R district are now ready for an "honorable peace" with the Germans as a basis of payment and a reasonable price.
Krupp Offers Workers Shares
They not only insist that Chancellor Cuno missed the opportunity to open negotiations but demand that he have the forging information—the single development since the Ruhr venture reached a deadlock from Otto Chryssmanni, secretary of the Essen division of the socialist democratic party, with over 100,000 members constitute the political group here.
The Krapp and other industrialists are doing their best to keep the workers in line, even going to the extent of offering them shares in the company.
Social lines are being broken down in a desperate effort to unite employees and workers in Ruhe and prevent layoffs. "You're putting the beans" at a moment when big business is figuring upon at least six months' hold against the French.
The fact that the Socialists and Democrats are insisting upon negotiations does not mean that the Rahu resistance is collapsing. I have just returned from a visit to the homes of the workers. Everywhere I find the strongest resentment against invasion desires to deserve defeat French militarism.
Chrysmanakis explains the sentiment in this way "We recommend a reasonable reparation. We are willing to do our utmost to restore devas-tion." We must fight French militarism as well as German militarism.

May Develop Resources
Cherokee County Asks Lead and
Zinc Field Appropriation
Agitation for the development of the lead and zinc resources found in Cherokee county and in the south-eastern part of the state has resulted from a House asking for an appropriation of $5,000 to make a survey. A survey was made in this district two years ago under the direction of the State Department but was discontinued as the legislature failed to appropriate funds.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, head of the department of geology, under whose supervision, he has not asked for appropriation from this legislature, but the request came from the local industry in county through their representative.
"Cherokee-county is in the midst of probably the richest lead and zinc field in the country. The bed runs into Missouri and Oklahoma, but both of these states have nearly exhausted their supplies while the Kansas deposits have not been worked a great deal," said Dr Moore.
Davis Flays Commission Bill in His Veto Message
Toteka, Feb. 29. —The Republican House today for the first time overrode the veto of Johann M. Davis, Democratic governor. By a vote of 88 to 24, the House repressed the bill the governor had refused to sign, changing the Kansas City, Kan., election.
Topokia, Feb. 20—Gov. Jonathan Davis today tapped his fourth bill providing for the election of Kansas City, Kansas clay commissioners, on different years. In vetting this bill, the commission must lessen the number of elections. It only provides that part of the commission be elected every two years. This bill only makes it easier for politicians favoring machine methods in voting to dominate elections and promote their selfish interests in government."
