Automatically Drop Twenty-Three Men From Law School
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1989
NUMBER 87
Nearly Fifteen Per Cent of Students Are Compelled to Leave University This Semester
"Twenty-three men were automatically dropped from the School of Law this semester because of poor work," was the statement issued from the office of Dean H. W. Arantz this morning. This number is principally fifteen per cent. of the total inmates in the School of Law last semester.
The exodus occurred in order with the new ruling which provides that any student in the School of Law shall be dropped who fails to make at least a "D" grade in any two of the courses in which he is examined at the end of the semester. The rule requires that the student of the School and this is the first opportunity which has occurred to put it into practice.
"These failures are mainly due to the students' inability to appreciate two facts," said Dean Arant in an interview with the faculty. "One of these is that the law course normally requires the major portion of a man's time; the other, that more rigid requirements are necessary, for reference to the quality of work done."
Present Enrollment Is 107
"Failed for Two Reasons"
Several of the students are trying to do too much work outside the courses prescribed for their law course, according to Dean Arant. Also many of the students fail to appreciate the attempt on the part of the faculty to raise the standards of the School.
Last semester the enrollment in
the School of Law was 153 and this
semester up to date the enrolment is
107. After the late enrolments
next Saturday the enrollment is
expected to reach 120 or 125.
Three students were graduated from the School of Law last semester and about the same number entered it this semester, according to Dean Arant. Those who were graduated are: W. P. Chandler, Lawrence; L.A. Dutton, Erie; Z. H. Rosenbloe, Wichita.
Dyer Finds Flunk Cause
Outside Work Draws Blame for Many Failures
"A large per cent of the men who failed in their work last semester were men who did outside work," said Dean John Dyer yesterday. "It is almost impossible for a man to devote more than four hours' time on work outside of the University and do justice to his courses, and we were spending all and six hours at various sites. The greater number beginning to realize that outside work does not pay in the long run, and I believe that there will be fewer students working this semester than there were last."
Reports from the Y. M. C. A. Employment Bureau correlate with Dean Dyer's prediction. There are fewer students seeking positions this semester than usual although there are still a large number planning to work. There are also students on the waiting list and from five to fifteen additional calls come in each day. Positions of many kinds have been filled.
Among the permanent jobs dish washing, table waiting, and stairward are most popular, while the temporary situations are chiefly helping clean house, wash windows, clear vards and fire furnaces.
"It is sometimes difficult," said R. A. Smith, secretary of the K. U. Y M C A, "to find jobs to suit employees, and employees to work for employees, but we do what we can help a student who asks for work."
K. U. Graduate Commits Suicide First Licit, Carl H. Meyers, A. B. '03, an army aviator, shot and killed himself in the Officers Club at Lakefield, near Honolulu, recently Lieutenant Myers was principal of the high school at Wake Forest Kan., for some years his graduation.

Last Month Was Warmest January in Forty Years
Not for more than forty years has there been so warm a January in eastern Kansas as the month just closed, according to the reports of the University. In January of this year there were but five days on which the daily average was lower or below. In 1880 there were fewer than that, but those are the smallest numbers of the 55 years of the station's history.
The average temperature for January, 1923, was 39,37 degrees, compared with 41,23 in 1886. The minimum last month was 15 degrees, on January 3, and twice during the next week. The rainfall was reached. The rainfall of .03 inch for the month is .02 inch lower than the previous low record of 1908.
Proposed Law To Tax Fraternity Property Given To Committee $ ^{e} $
Legislature Favors Some Levy But Recommends Law Be Modified
BULLETIN
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 2—The House of Representatives today passed on third reading by a vote of 77 to 33 the Morgan bill that would place fraternity and sorority houses on the tax roll.
The proposed tax law, which would make all fraternity property within the state liable to the usual county state and local taxes, which was introduced in the senate, has been referred back to the committee. Modifications have been suggested to tighten the burden of the law.
According to estimates, there is $275,000 worth of taxable fraternity property in Lawrence under the proposed law. Fraternity houses and offices are valued at a valuation of nearly one million dollars. The backers of the proposed legislation in the senate contend that some provision for a levy on the now necessary, in view of the fact that it is one-third the amount of the property in the state.
In 1914 a test case was held to determine the right of a county to tax a Greek letter organization. The local chapter of a sorority had purchased property and had a chapter which controlled the services lesiors used the usual tax against the property. The decision of the Supreme court was that such property is classed under the provision which allows all buildings and land which are used for educational purposes, or connected with educational activities. The sorority house was construed to be the literary hall and dormitory.
The original law limited the amount of land to one half acre, and the supreme court later held that such a ruling was unconstitutional, and that the amount of land could not be limited.

College Students As Future Leaders Need Study Of Art
Aesthetic Appreciation I Part of Every Man's Daily Life, Says Boston Artist
"We are anxious to have it realized that the men and women who come out of the universities are to be the leaders in art and that they must have some knowledge of it. The poor are accepted because people know no better.
"We are working that the arts may be studied more and may be given more recognition, for art should be an integral part in the path of every man," and Dr. H. C. Walker, of Boston University, said of Fine Arts in Education," Thursday afternoon before the students of architecture.
Genius Has Initiative
He went on to divide people into two classes; those who want to be told definitely what to think and how to act, and those who do the telling the genues and artists. He said that he was appealing to the public to recognize the importance of art, and that it may have the sincerity and willingness to make their works expressive to the public.
"I have nothing against exact sciences," Doctor Walker continued, "but I do deploy the elevation of a balloon so that it can cover the internal standardization and scaled efficiency of modern educational systems turra a man out like a small wheel in a vast machine. He loses the control of his machines a mechanism rather than a man.
Knowledge Brings Good
Doctor Walker, director of the School of Fine Arts at the Boston Museum, is a member of a "roving commission" from the American Institute of Architecture, and goes from here to Kansas City where he will make several addresses before the Kansas City Art Institute.
"I want no high-brow art in my program, but I do want art a part of my daily life. The sooner a man begins to realize some real good from his possession of art knowledge, the sooner will he begin to see progress in his daily life—for the two are bound up together."
Many Use Book Exchange It Will Remain Open Saturday Morning
The W. S. G. A. book exchange is being depended on as a source of texts by the students this year more than ever before, according to Pearl Pugh the exchange manager.

Hungerford To Michigan
Will Teach at The Biological Field Station
Prof. H, B. Hungerford, of the department of ontology, will spend the summer at Douglas Lake, Mich. near the Straits of Mackinac. He will teach at the Biological Field Station determined by the University of Michigan.
Professor Hungerford will specialize in limnology, or the study of water life.
During the eight week session, haddies as a teacher will necessitate the equivalent of one working day a week for each student. The fessor Hungerford plans to use in collecting specimens and in research work. This time for collecting is especially interesting, as it will enable students to observe such specimens which are not found here.
Professor Hungerford and his family plan to drive to Michigan, and he says they expect a "big time," as the students and faculty will live in cabins and tents at the station, boarding at a common moss house. There are several ways to seavegethouses and with the light work, it will be a regular vacation.
This is the third year that Professor Hungerford has been invited to come to Douglas Lake by the University of Michigan, but he has been unavailable. He was last taught at the University of Minnesota for the last two summers.
