City Manager Plan Will Be Discussed In Address Tonight
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1920
NUMBER 76
R. E. McDonnell, K. C. Engineer, to Speak at Meeting Held in Marvin Hall
R. E. McDoullen, of the Kansas City firm, Burns & McDoullen, consulting engineers, will address the K. U. and Lawrence chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers this evening at 7:00 o'clock in Marvin Hall. His talk will concern the operation and management of the city manager plan of government.
The meeting will be open to the public, and all those who are interested in city government are urged by the society to attend the address.
"A number of people are still of the opinion that the city manager plan is in an experimental stage, so that it is only applicable to small cities" or "large cities," and John G. Stutz, the executive secretary of the City Managers when interviewed concerning the topic of tonic's address.
"Plan Not an Experiment"
"A careful study of the reports of 286 cities operating under this plan, as set forth in the 1922 edition of the City Managers' Year Book, will further reveal that there is beyond the experimental stage. It is a form of government which appeals to the mass of citizens. There have been only two cities during the history of the city manager movement from the city and the city plan by vote of the people.
"Opens New Profession"
"The city manager plan has attracted to the manager profession a high grade of executive ability. I has opened a way to a career for which men may train themselves. No such career could be offered in any other existing form of government, and it is our responsibility to the various city employees come and go. This applies whether it be street sweepers or skilled engineers.
"The city managers are appointed on the basis of executive ability and knowledge of city administration. The tenure of office depends upon the service rendered. The longer they stay the better they are liked, and the larger salary the city can afford. They should promote promotions from a small city to a larger, each time at an increased salary.
"Some of the older city managers are now administering their fourth city. This indicates some of the possibilities in this profession, and it may be clearly shown that the cities themselves receive the greatest benefit from a professional class of municipal expert—the city manager."

The Washington Square players composed of students in Randolph Sonerville's classes in dramatic art in the University of New York.
The plays are usually produced in the Little Theatre, built especially for them at the Washington Squares building, one of the 'tour centers of the University of New York. The players are occasionally asked to give performances in other places. Last summer they gave a series of plays at one of the theaters. Miss Mitchell was a member of the Chi

Goldwin Goldsmith Lectures To Home Economics Classes
Illustrated Slides Show the Contrasts Between Good and Bad Architecture
"The best work in American domestic architecture is not copying anything, but is developing along its own lines, not striving for bizarre originality, but showing a quiet rename domestic effect"
Prof. Goldwin Gosomith gave an illustrated lecture on "Domestic Architecture" yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Home "conomies Club which was held in the classical museum in Farnshall Hall.
"The element of picture sequences is based somewhat in the English cottage design," he continued. "Present day architecture is extremely varied in its type, but is influenced largely by the colonial design in many parts. English half tibber is also adopted to a great extent, but there is somewhat of a new element which adds to its attractiveness.
Present Architecture Varies
"The object of the lecture was to show the origin of our present day design for domestic work," said Professor Goldsmith. "To show how those origins, Elizabeth and Georgian, influence our Colonial design what happened in the Civil War through the lack of taste of the rich new and rich how there is now a rivalry of good design in modern architecture."
Need Real Architects
In his illustrations, Professor Goldsmith showed by contrast what has been done by way of poor and good design in similar types of houses, showing the need of real architects; rather than one who calls himself an architect. Exterior views only were seen on the interior or/or very distant down to the present.
"The great trouble with the people who want a $5,000 house is that most of them do not want to pay the price which a good architect must charge, but will give over their work to some architects. The result is that they have a poorly designed house," Professor Goldsmith said. "On the main, however," he added, "American architecture is steadily improving."
Women Of World Organize
Graduates Establish Society t Promote Friendship
University women all over the world will be federated together and know one another better. This is it to be accomplished through an organization established in London in 1920 and institutionalized by Federato of University Women."
This society is composed of national federations of university women. Thirteen of the leading countries of the world are affiliated with it and working together for the highest interests of education.
The work of the federation is varied. It endows international scholarships and fellowships, encourages exchange of lectures and students between the universities, and co-operates with the national bureau of international education established in the various countries.
Forty members of Professor Mann's class in criminology left this morning for Leavenworth and Lansing to inspect the state and federal prison which are located there. The trip is being made in order that the students may see the criminals as they are thus enabling them to study the convict's character, his habits, and other general aspects of his life.
In the words of the president of the International Federation, "It is the young people of the world who must know one another. I cannot conceive any better way of beginning this friendship than by making it so stable for university graduates to attend a year of study in a university of some foreign country. This will be accomplished through the federation."
Criminology Class Visits Leavenworth and Lansin
The class has been studying books on criminals and prison all semester and this trip to Leavenworth and Lansing will enable them to see both the criminals and prisoners as they are in real life.
News Tabloids
There were 12,357,275 caronnies and trucks on the roads of the United States at the close of 1922, according to cases made public today by coyote investigators. So far, that there could be a cut of some sort for every 87 persons.
The woman's bureau of her department of labor will open its national conference on women in industry at Washington today. More than three hundred delegates from thirty-five states are in attendance.
The eyes of the world are watching France today to see how she will not when the American flag has been carried across the Atlantic—whether it will make any difference in his present policy.
The transport St. Michel will aid for Europe Friday to bring the 1,000 American duchy-banks, home from the Rhine. This action of the United States when the French troops are advancing in the Rahr coal district of Germany and war seems not far off. The prime minister has been trying to try to sideline the great European question and keep out of the troubles.
President Harding has ordered the immediate withdrawal all American forces in Germany. Washington interprets this action as a mild protest against the invasion of the Rühr district by French troops. French official circles expressed great regret over the announcement.
Unusual Nebulae Will Be Observed On Visitor's Night
Application for Attendance Must be Made And Accepted Before Meeting Night
The next visitors night at the astronomy observatory is to be Friday, January 19. The work will start with an observation of the new moon and visitors may see the new moon before it gets low in the sky to be observed through the telescope. C. T. Elvey instructor in the department of Astronomy in charge of the work for the evening.
The nebula in O'Rion is to be observed. This is gaseous nebula visible to the naked eye. It is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. The nebula is many trillion miles in diameter.
Beteleguze, a giant sun about two hundred sixty million miles in diameter, and castor, a double star, will also be observed.
Bethany Cake Eaters Meet With Foul Play
The observatory is open to visitors every Friday night that the moon is visible. Application must be made to Dinmore Alter associate professor in the department of astronomy, prior to the visit, giving the number who desire to attend and the evening on which they wish to attend. A card, accepting the application or telling the applicant on which night he may visit, is required before the night of the meeting. The card must be presented at the time of the meeting. Special arrangements are made for organization and special groups.
Last spring when everyone was seeing, hearing, and sleeping politics, there was issued forth from the ranks a dark-horse ticket, under the head of K. U. Cake-Eaters. Of interest to those who were members of that great party, comes the news of an attempt on the part of a student at Bethany College at Lindburch, to organize a party there, by wearing the colors of the school flag. Sad to say, the attempt has ended in a dailial failure, for the said students were publicly stripped by fellow students of the young man one night.
The young man had gone into a cafe with a lady friend when the incident occurred. Knowing what was going on, the girl interested students gathered. Very good two of students took the young man by the arm, led him to the side of a motor car, where the buttons on her car part of the parts legs were cut off.
The opinion among both the students and townpeople of Lindsborg generally is that the action of the students in attempting to prevent the wearing of the novel trousers at Bethany College is commendable.

County Clubs Show An Unusual Activity Out Over The State
Thirty-three Jayhawkers Sold Are Well Distributed to the High Schools
The activity of the county clubs throughout the state has been much more efficient than it was iirst year; reports the head of those organizations. From the ninety-six clubs in Kansas, fifty have perfected their organizations, and have given addresses in their home town high schools.
There is positive proof of the good of those clubs in the letters of commendation that have been received by schools where they have been active.
Up to date, thirty-three "Jayhawkers" have been sold to high schools by the clubs, and it is expected that more orders will come in before the holiday. Each club each have been given tie schools. The sale of "Jayhawkers" and the activity of the county clubs is well distributed over the state. The central part of the state seems to have pummeled more "Jayhawkers" to the county.
The alumni office is receiving many reports on the county clubs and on K. U. in general. In these reports are stated the objections that the people over the state have against K. U. The ones that invariably appear are those that students who attend that the students get drunk, and that it is too expensive. U is the object of the county clubs to correct these false impressions.
Moon To Eclipse Venus
Finest Occultation in Forty Years Will Be Seen
The occultation of the planet Venus, at which time the moon will pass over the planet, will occur early Saturday morning, January 15.

At the time of occulta *no* the moon will be twenty-six days old, so that it will show a thin crescent. Venus disappear on the eastern or bright side of the sun and we emerge on the western or dark limb. Two weeks ago Venus was at maximum brilliance, but even now it is 130 times brighter than a first mage.
Venus is the daylight star which has been observed by so many for the past two or three weeks. It can be seen on the moon through the morning.
