Women Not Ready For Valley Games, Says Miss Barto
NUMBER
Nervous System Would No Stand Up Under Strain of Intercollegiate Athletics
"Women are not quite ready for competitive athletics," asserted Miss Margaret Barto, assistant instructor of physical education, in an interview this morning. "By this term I do not mean that tennis, track, and aquatic sports should be barred from women's athletic programs, but the more strenuous sports such as basketball, football and volley ball."
"It is true that women are playing those games in the East, but they are professional athletes and can live under rigid training rules; and, too, they have no studies to keep up between times. The average girl in the United States could not stand the nervous strain that the athlete is obliged to undergo.
"I do not mean, of course, that women are inferior in sportsmanship or in physical ability, but I do mean that their fine nervous systems could be improved by the study of studying and engaging in competitive athletics. Our aim in this university, then, is not to establish a women's Missouri Valley Conference, but to put physical education on the hill."
No Competitive Athletics
Miss Barto is an authorized Red Cross examiner. Each year she plans to hold an examination for all the women of the University who care to enter the service. Thus far Miss Gladys Snyder, a student gymnasium instructor, is the only one to pass the examinations. The semester Miss Barto plans to have the examination for all of the gymnasium classes.
Miss Barto said the time is not very far off when women's athletics will be instituted in many universities just the same as theirs. But women are not ready for it as yet. She and camming is the woman's sport of today.
Examines for Red Cross
The major sports of the women's department of athletics are hockey, basketball, and indoor baseball. The minor sports that come between seasons are volley球, swimming, and tennis. The Women's Athletic Association gives letters to those superior in the major sports.
Enrollment Double This Year
Instruction for women in physical education began in this university in 1906. Every year shows an improvement in development, and willingness of the women voluntarily to enroll in advanced courses offered by the department. This year almost doubled the enrollment over last year with over eight hundred in the combined gym classes.
Miss Margaret Barto and Miss Ruth Hoover both came to the University from the University of Illinois. In 1921 they won the tennis doubles in the Big Ten Conference at Winston-Sauces. Miss Hoover won the contest at Winston-Sauces.
The staff of the department includes Miss Margaret Bartoe, assistant professor in physical education, A. B. Illinois; M. A. Columbia University, New York. Miss Ruth Hoover, instructor in physical education, A. B. Illinois; Miss Gladys Snyer, assistant instructor (student); Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, assistant instructor (student).

Bobbed Tresses Are Doomed To Place Of The Dodo Bird. Predicts Local Tonsorialis
"Yep, I guess that bobbed hair is loomed to extinction," asserted one of his local barbers yesterday. "I've and about one-tenth the bobbing trade n the past few weeks that I did—aw nine months ago."
"And, too, a lot of the University men who used to come in to get their hair locks trimmed occasionally have ceased to do so. In my opinion, he indicates a reaction against the obbed hair craze.
"Bobbed hair, however, produces a healthful condition of the scalp, he went on. So many of the University students have been told their hair to their heads in a way which hindered the blood circulation before the advent of the bobbed hair craze. The fad, then, worked to advantage by providing country by stimulating their scars.
"Another advantage which the girl who wears bobbied hair possesses is that she often times goes without her hat, allowing the air to circulate through her hair. When she does don a hat, she usually has a soft one
Debating Teams Are Chosen From Large Group Of Candidates
Most of the Personnel Has Had Experience in Public Sneaking
The three debating teams which will represent the University this year have been chosen by Prof. H. A Shinn who is coaching them. The question of selecting these teams was a hard one on account of the great number of students who tried out in a good team of students it assumed.
The subject for this year is, "Is resolved, that the United States should recognize Russia at once," Professor Shinn announced this morning. "The teams are composed of very good students, many of whom have had experience in speaking, and they will creditably represent the University of Kansas, wherever they appear," said Mr. Shinn.
Students who will make up the team to be sent against Missouri are Paul Wunch, Floyd Wright, and Clarence Harvey. Howard Payne, The Colorado team will be composed of Roy Reigate, Howard Payne, and Fred Fields. The Kansas-Colorado contest will take place on the night of April 2. On the morning of April 3, the Kansas-Sheffield, and Clarence Harvey will meet the Oklahoma team.
All of the students selected on these teams are capable of defending the honor of the University against their respective opponents, and a good showing is looked forward to by those who are interested in K. U.'s debating teams. Kansas has always maintained a high standard in debating circles, and this year promises to be one of the best.

which she can crush down over her curls without ruining their haster and contour. This serves to allay the danger of restricting circulation."
The local torsorial artist pointed out that the newspapers had a great deal to do with propagating the bobbed hair mania which swept over the country, engulfing the timid and the blase, the girl of sixteen and the woman of sixty. The papers seemed to be taken very seriously the "inspirer" and made her a typical young American woman. Bobbed hair was one of her innilenable attributes.
One of the "mujors" in the department of psychology pointed out the psychology of the flapped and bobbed hair mania. He compared it with religious rituals in the country during and also with the war; and also with the Carrie Nation movement of years ago. All three are in the same class. They sweep over the country, gaining cohorts at every turn of the road by the power of suggestion. But as they appear, they are displeased. They disappear.
New Bank Check System
The new plan adopted by the Farmers' State Bank for handling checking accounts, which is almost identical with the Travellers'. Check system eliminates the question of tank balances and frequent embarrassment common to the ordinary checking account.
Farmers' State Introduces System For Student Accounts
A small book similar to a check
book is issued containing printed
checks in denominations of $1.00,
$2.00, $5.00, and $10.00, either in
$25.00 or $30.00 books. When issued
the signature is filed in a ledger and
placed opposite a copy on the book.
The copy is mounted on the book. The
checks are signed by an officer of
the bank, and by the purchaser in his
presence.
When drawing a check for any amount the holder of the book presents his check to the merchant or banker, and in the presence of the person about to cash the check complements it. Identification is established by the similarity of the two signatures.

Representative Men to Organize Y. M. C. A. Work
One of the first topics for discussion will be the membership of their own group, as it is possible that the group will be increased for the purpose of including more points of view on the debated subjects.
The University Y. M. C. A. plans during the new year to hold meetings once a week of about ten representative men of the University for the purpose of considering plans for the carrying on of Y. M. C. A. work here.

Movies Are Taken On Sunny Days At Hollywood Studios
Chancellor Lindley Visits Hollywood And Sees Pictures in the Making
"At Hollywood, on sunny days, the actors and actresses go out to take pictures." He recruited E. H. Lindsey today as he received his recent trip to the coast.
"It was one of the sunny days when I visited Hollywood, under the guidance of Jerome Beaty, a former K. U. man now employed by the Famous Man." Mr. Beaty had the privilege of seeing some work on one of the "sets" on a picture starring Gloria a Swanson, for the Paramount pictures. Mr. and Mrs. Helen were also members of the Marcy and their daughter, party."
Spends Week in Southern Part
The first week of the trip was spent in southern California, from Santa Barbara to San Diego; in speaking at meetings and in renoving old friends. While in Los Angeles Chancellor Lindley spoke at the mnnn on Friday of the Club of the University on Friday addressed the University Club. He attended K. U. dinners in San Diego and Los Angeles, speaking to alumni of the University of both cities.
Spends Week in Southern Part
"I spent Christmas Eve at St. Bernard," and Dr. Lindley, "and had a fine time with Professors Cerruth and Franklin, Dr. and Mrs. Jordan, who have just recurred from Japan, and many other former Kansas people. More meetings and dinners followed. On my way back to Kansas I spent a day at the Grand Canyon. I spent another day spirit where I went on the coast, and was very much pleased with the trip."
Professor C. A. Dijkstra, a member of the faculty here, and new secretary of the Los Angeles City Club, sent the Kansan a copy of the weekly bulletin of the club, giving extensive review of Dr. Lindley's speech.
City Club Sends Greetings
City Oak series
"The City Club enjoyed Dr. Lindley and sends it to greeting cards. Kansas throughed a bulletin, "We guess that nothing's the matter with Kansas." Many declared his speech one of the best we've ever had. Dr. Lindley suggested his conception of what the American tradition is and what it demands of our generation. He declared that Bernard Shaw, applied to a nation of villagers, saw the rupture of our life and not the wave.
"Dr. Lindley declared that Lewis, in 'Main Street', gives us only 50 per cent truth, and that we are about ready to quit humbling ourselves before Europe and European opinions, 'to stand on our own traditions'. We should have our own opinions on our Europe battle fields possible, for the American "ides" drove our men to victory; it was our "ides" against Europe's, and our won."

Kansas Can't Boast Elephants In These Days,But K.U.Has Snap-Shots of Native Dinosau
A sure antidote for that "cave-man feeling" has been received by H. T. Martin, University curator of paleontology, from the American Museum of Natural History, of New York. In a month or two, when the first zophyes of spring arise the primitive instincts, the sense of strong, strong, wild, free club-swing caveman days when "survival of the fittest" was the law of life.
If he who feels that primal lure will spend a few minutes among the photographs of the gigantic dinosaurs, the monstrous mastodons, and the terrifying saber-tooth tigers that once roamed this same territory, he must learn how to handle him that he lives in an age of mice, gar-er-smakes, and Pekinese doors.
Pictures of the skeletons of each prehistoric animal as they are mounted in the American Museum are accustomed to the fact that bears to be the animals in their native haunts. These photographs are so real and life-like that they defy explanation until one learns that they are taken from the paintings of a prehistoric museum, trained by the museum for such work. The exhibits will be placed at the museum in the cases with fossils of the same animals, thus helping to make the fossil specimens more interesting and comprehensive to the ordinary observer.
There are four reproductions of the elephants of the Pleistocene period, just within the age of man. One of
Ionor System For Laws
New Constitution Provides it— No Engineer Debate
A new constitution, drawn up by a committee of three appointed by Barney Bucher, president of the School of Law, will be presented to the students of the School of Law for vote in a convoction next week.
The honor system was adopted by the law students in convocation on December 12, but the present constitution conflicted, necessitating the proposed change. When the new constitution is adopted the honor system, for which it provides, will function in the School of Law.
The School will assume no diplomatic relations with the School of Engineering this year, due to the violent affair between the two rivals on the last engineer holiday. Consequently, the annual Engineer-Law debate and football game will not occur.

them, the "Mastodon Imperator," would make P. T. Barnum's "Jumbo" look like an infant. The largest group contains fourteen photographs of the horse and its ancestors, showing its evolution from a little four-toed creature about the size of a greyhound, to its present state.
The largest drawing in the collection shows a great duck-billed dinosaur sitting in a very human posture on the bank of a stream watching two playmates swimming about. Part of the museum's collection must have been the cause of its mystery on the face of the dinosaur, and one thinks at once of Briggs "Life's Darkest Moment." In the American Museum of Natural History is mounted a skeleton of a dinosaur about sixty feet in length and sixteen inches high with a skeleton of a man besideth it for the purpose of comparison.
One shin-bone of the dinosaur is larger than the man, who seems to be crushing in abject terror. "When a Fooler needs a Friend" would be a much better title for the photomaton, as it gives him permission to graze it. The old fairy-tale dragon is revived again in the picture of the Stegosaurus, or armored dinosaur. With his great saw-tooth back, scaly body and hideous, protruding eyes, he seems to be challenging all the princesses in the kingdom to be the for the princess in the dragon's cave. One looks, and then sigh thankfully. "Them Days are Gone Forever."
Special Rest Rooms For Women Planned In New Ad Building
Offices of Dean of Women Wil Move to Larger Offices on Second Floor Corridor
A complete 90-foot corridor on the second floor of the central Administration Building, now under process of construction, will be devoted entirely to the offices of the dean of women, and to rest rooms for the women of the University, according to the plans proposed by Dean Blitz, at the Junior-Senior conference of University women in Fraser Hall.
The rooms as planned will contain in addition to the dean's offices and rest rooms, couch rooms, and a kitchenette, arranged so that all may be thrown together to accommodate large meetings. It is expected that these rooms, together with the parliers in the new dormitory, will remove the chief difficulty encountered by University students meeting quarters.
Plans for a vocational conference, similar to that held last year, were announced by Mary Jenkinson, in charge of volitional training in W.S. G.A. The conference will be held this spring, and is designed to assist University women in choosing the vocations for which they are fitted, and in planning their courses to conform to their chosen field.
The question of democracy at the University and the matter of large expenditures for entertainment were discussed by the women. Mingcg of drawing into school activities those who had been injured by the burden placed on the few who are prominent in activities, were suggested.
Refreshments were served at the adjournment of the meeting.
