University Officials Face Vital Problem In Large Enrollmen
Rosedale Must Limit Numbers to Keep A Standard, Says News Letter
When Fraser Hall was erected in 1870, the 900 seating capacity of the auditorium was thought to be far larger than necessary. The enrollment has grown from year to year until now, even the accommodations of Robinson Gymnasium, which seats 600 students, have been in enrollment in a problem facing University authorities as shown in the last University News Letter.
The state legislature is considering a measure at present which, if passed, will assist in the construction of the Union building. In this connection, Mr. Bush has asked the thousand University alumni, faculty members, and former students have pledged $900,000 toward the million dollar project for the construction of the Stadium, the Union Building, and the Green Memorial status. The University is making definite plans for completion of the Memorial campus which he claims would provide that the original real of one billion dollars will be passed.
The news letter points to the condition existing in the School of Medicine at Resaleide. In order to maintain the "Class A" standard it is necessary to limit the number of students enrolled there.
Attorney General C. B. Griffith says that the School of Medicine must be conducted in such manner as to keep within the "Class A" standards, as the state medical board now permits only the graduates of Class B schools to practice in Kansas. In response to present standards of the American medi a profession, it is impossible for the University medical school to continue on a high basis without limiting the number of its students.

"The Herdsman's Song," Jenny Lind's Favorite, Proves Most Popular Number
Frieda Hempel was greeted last night by an appreciative audience, believed to be one of the largest that has ever attended a concert here. Her beautiful voice, rake techinque, skill and charming personality make an inextricable combination; she does not merely sing, she gives herself to her audience. With the grace of an artist, she puts onto each song a "Marina" statement, which is "A Marina," with its quiet earnestness and depth of fear, or "The Trout," light, and touched with flashes of brilliance.
"that is one of the best audiences I have ever sung for," Miss Hempel told Mrs. H. L. Butter after her program. "I am thoroughly exhausted, and I never forget what people are so responsive. I—shall never forget my visit here three years ago, and the reception I was given then." Again and again Miss Hempel was called back to the stage, and she responded graciously with
"The Herdman's Song," a Norwegian melody which was a favorite of Jenny Lind's, was one of the most beautiful songs she composed. Hemsel she sang "by the Waters of Minnetonka" as an encore in honor of the Camp Fire girls. "Dixie Land" and "Home Sweet Home" were two songs interpreted with a wealth of feeling.
Miss Hempel is a golf enthusiast, is fond of swimming, and until recently made a practice of hiking at least five miles daily. She received her musical education in Europe, but has been with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company for the last six years. She has concert tour in the west. She left early this morning for Emporia where she will sing this evening. Monday evening she will give a concert in Topeka.
"We have wonderful experiences," Miss Hempel told a reporter recently. "But it's a hard life—trains, hotels, restaurants." She cedicated "Home Sweet Home," and longing with all my heart to be there." At home she is Mrs. Kahn. Her husband is a New York banker, who lives in the housekeeper and an obliging friend.

No other committee reported experiences similar to this one.

Cultural Training Necessary In Field Of Journalism-Rohe
Newspaperwoman, a K. U Graduate, Tells of Experiences in United Press Service
"The greater cultural background you have, the greater will be the possibility of your becoming a real journalist," said Alice Roe, A. B. 96, in addressing journalism classes this morning.

"The entrance of women into the profession is a great help to it," she said. "From the ethical standpoint, their influence has been marked. Editors still continue to underwrite the women who work in the medical." That is what we have to fight.
Women a Good Influence
"American reporters have a staying power, a method of attack found in no reporter from other countries." The clenicity of American newspaper people
"Stick by your principles," she advised her audience, "regardless of the consequences." You will have many opportunities to sacrifice your principles, and probably gain thereby distinct commercial success."
Miss Roe's experience cover reporting on the Lawrence Journal World ship reporting in New York, and in India. Miss Roe predicted the rise to power of Musolini before the great movement of the fascist came to a head in Italy
"But my experience has taught me that my own convictions are far more important. It is for that reason that I am not a successful commercial real estate broker."

Merging of War and Navy Departments Practicable-Chubb
The greatest obstacle to the plan lies in the traditions of the two departments, according to Professor Chubb. Bkth departments, for example, have a judge advocate general for the settlement of court murders. If the two departments were merged, a material reduction would be made in the machinery and cost of maintenance, and the position to the plan by the hads of barbecue and other officers who would be affected personally by the change.
"The plan of merging the departments of war and of the navy into one portfolio, designated as the department," said Prof. H. B. Chabb of the department of political science, in discussing the proposed change in the cabinet, as outlined by the Congressional Joint Committee on Reorganization.
New Department May be Established by Congressional Committee
An entirely new department is proposed in the report of the committee. A department of education and public welfare, which would supervise all educational activities of the government, and the hospitalization facilities of the public health service, the police, the hospitals, institutions and possibly the veterans' bureau, is called for in the report. The new department woum be headed by a secretary, duly recognized as a member of the cabinet.
In regard to the opposition to the merging of the departments of war and of the navy, Professor Chubb said: "Traditions and morale are fine things, but argument in favor of the continued separation of the department is unfamiliar. It is sometimes necessary to sacrifice sentiment for the sake of greater efficiency and of more economical business methods.

Men's Student Council Desires Treasurer or Auditor To Handle Funds for Student Affairs
Will_Pay_1921_Debt
A treasurer to handle the funds would receive a small tax of 2 or 3 per cent on all money passing through her office. A person in complete charge of the various funds, many deficits and financial difficulties could be avoided. The "Big Tort" schools each employ three students; an alumnace a very satisfactory one.
A plan to have a treasurer or auditor to handle the funds for all student affairs of the University was discussed at the meeting of the Men's Student Council last night. The Uni- ters would study the books, but under the present system many funds are inefficiently handled.
The Council expressed a hope that the debt of $315 on the 1921 Jayhawker could be paid by the 1923 Jayhawker. The Men's Student Council has guaranteed to pay two-thirds of the debt and the W. S. G. A. offers to assure one-third of the debt.
It is the policy of the Council to give all orchestras on the hill a chance to play at Varsity dances during the year.
Pronose Trial for Cheaters

At a meeting of the W. S. G. A.
this week it was voted to assume one-third of the indebtedness still unpaid on the 1921 Jayhawker after any surplus which may accrue from this year's Jayhawker has been appalled by its thirds of the $115 shortage will be taken care of by the Men's Student Council.
Since there are almost twice as many men as there are women enrolled in the University and inasmuch as the W. S. G. a returns most of the money it collects to women students through its scholarship, its tess and other activities deigned to be of benefit to women students, the members of the W. S. G. A. did not assume more than one-third of the Jayhawker deficit. It was the unanimous decision of the W. S. G. A., however, that the indebtedness ought to be paid.
Architectural Drawings To be Shown in Marvin
