Dr. Gilkey Compares Fraternity To Inn-Keeper In Bible Story
BUSINESS MUST GET SPIRIT
Professional and Political Men Must Take New View of Life
"Reconstructing the Road" was the theme yesterday of the third address by the Rev. Charles W. Gilkey in Robinson Gymnasium. The address continued the thought of the preceding day, when the subject wsa "The Good Samaritan in Modern Life."
"One figure in the Good Samaritan parable has been too much overlooked—the inn keeper" began the Reverend Edmund W. Hearn, the final outcome turns.
He co-operated with the Good Samaritan in the care of the victim. represents the permanent institutions of humanity—economic institutions. In other words, the Good Samaritan spirit must be carried out in business and politics before the redemption of the Jerio road is complete.
"The critical point in the process comes when the inn-keeper meets the Good Samaritan and grows out of personal contact. Up to this time, the inn-keeper must be mentored from ordinary business motives of profit or prosperity—but if he catches the new spirit from his guest he will see a unique chance to turn his inm into an institution of service for the commu-
"That service cannot be complete before the Jerio ride is cleared up." The final outcome of a long and difficult process will include greater prosperity for everybody along the road—as Jesus predicted.
"What the inn-keeper was in the parable the fraternity must be on the campus, the University in the state, the business and professional man in modern life, catching the new spirit from personal contact with those who have it. These institutions must work for the transformation of the Jeremiah school of the atheism of exploitation and irresponsibility, and the embodiment in all branches of life of the spirit of neighborly good will."

AUDIENCE PLEASED BY FLONZALEY QUARTET
Musicians Played Prof. Skilton's "Fugue for the New Year," As Encore
GENEROUS IN ENCORES
Outstanding Characteristic or Work is Apparent Sincerity and Love of Work
A world famous organization, the Flonalez String Quartet, more than uphold its enviable reputation when it gave a concert in Robinson Gymnastics last night. According to numerous critics and the appreciative audience in general, the program was much better than that of last year.
The ensemble work of the four musicians with the first and second violins, viola and celli was perfect. The duet strains of the two violins, with the unusual notes of the viola and the fullness and sonorous depth of the cello made all the numbers a delight.
Bloch's "Pastorale" seemed to be the most enjoyed by the audience. The outstanding characteristic of the work is it obvious sincerity. One feels that life, as the composer views it, is largely one of discord making the few strains of harmony the more exquisite. In the hands of artists like Adolfo Betti, Alfred Pochon, Louis Bailey, and Iwan D'Archemenbe, the piece was rendered well in spite of its tremendous technical difficulty.
The Haydn Quartet was the first number on the program and was well received. The Schumann Quartet in A minor was played with great feeling. Especially the Adagio of the Schumann group enjoyed.
Prof. C, S. K. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts was honored last night when the quartet played his "Fugue for the New Year" as an encore after the "Pastorale." The composition was presented at Christmas time to the Quartet and was played for the first time in public last night.
Two other encores were given by the Flonzaley's in response to the long and continued applause.
Dean Butler in speaking of the concert today said that he thought that every patron of the University Concert Course thoroughly enjoyed the Quartet and would be glad to year it again.
ROTARIANS TO GIVE PROGRAM
Home-Talent Entertainment for Boy Scouts' Benefit
What promises to be one of the best home-talent entertainments ever given by Lawrence actors will be presented at the Bowersock Theatre Monday, March 27, under the auspices of the Box Boots.
The whole program has a mood of merriment that is exhilarating; the music starts one humming from the rise of the curtain to the fall of the curtain after; the last act; the individual acting savors of professionalism, and even of accommodation; and the surprise of a life-time, all promise who have seen the secret explained at the practices. "It's some show," they claim.
"Rather Rough on Robert," one active play, was attempted last night by five University students who were applicants to membership in the Dramatic Club. It was the unanimous opinion of the club members who stayed through the performance, that the acting class was a more demanding and fall short of the type of dramatic work which has characterized the club.
Dramatic Tryout Play To Be Revoted Upon
According to advance notice, six big acts, full of fun, magic and music will make up the varied program of the Roiary ministrels. Those who have seen the rehearsals say that each act contains a big surprise for the audience. Side-splitting jokes that are fresh; snappy music, and the ever-prevalent chorus make this show a real value, and then doubly so because all the proceeds go for a good cause, claim, these dramatic critics.
The Dramatic Club passed a motion to place the entire cast of "Rathe. Rough on Robert" under the direction of a new coach and they will essay the same vehicle next Wednesday night in the Little Theater. Upon recommendation of the coach it may be open to the public.

Men From Each State to Negotiate Separately With Their Employers
UNITED MINE WORKERS MAY FIND PLAN TIE-UP
THREATENS ORGANIZATION
Separate Wage Arguments May Perhans Avert Nation Wide Coal Strike
United Mine Workers' leaders may encounter resistance in their tie-up plans in the "war council" of the gen-
ten committee at Cleveland tomorrow.
President Lewis, entering the meeting with a program calling for a fight to the finish with the operators, will find Illinois representatives insisting that the miners of each state negotiate separate agreements with the companies.
Meanwhile the American Federation of Labor announces itself as solidly backing the miners in their suspension of work, scheduled for April 16. The union announced not even an appeal from Congress Harding would halt the tie-up.
Cleveland, March 23—A possible serious break in the ranks of the United Mine Workers today threatened to disrupt the organization as the members of the mine policy committees gather here for the opening sessions tomorrow. The committee of 116 members was called to formulate a plan for continuing the nine ideas scheduled to start at midnight March 31.
Possibility of a split was seen by union leaders in the threat of Frank Farrington, president of the powerful Illinois group that he and his followers woud insist upon single state wage negotiations with operators, strongly opposed by international officers of the miners.
Indianapolis, March 23—Separate state wage agreements between mine owners and miners may yet avert the nation-wide coal strike called for April 1. it was learned today at United Mine Workers' headquarters here.
Whether the strike actually materializes depends now upon the power international officers of the union are able to exercise over their subordinates at a meeting of the policy committee in Cleveland tomorrow.

ver, chairman Joseph Osborne, and
Dick Wentworth.
On the Ulster Front, Caindale County Tyrone, March 23. - Rifles were barking defiantly across the Tyrone border early today. Along the Monaghan frontier, Ulster volunteers and Irish republican army troops are facing each other across a narrow "noose" that was fortified. Shallow entrenchments have been thrown up. Both sides are ready for the threatened civil war
The trouble along the Ulster border is the climax of a series of raids into Ulster by Sinn Fein extremists. Ulster constabulary has been rushed to protect the Tyrone frontier and Irish republic army troops apparently in a struggle to upset the establishment of the free state, have been reenforced until the situation assumes the aspect of guerrilla warfare.

SECOND VOTE ON NEW JAYHAWKER SYSTEM
Men's Student Council Decide to Give Student Body Another Chance
Although the amendment in regard to the publishing of the Jayhawkw was passed by a vote of 400 to 91, the Men's Stuccent Council last night had to give the student body an other choice to vote on it at the spring election.
The reason for the decision was an erroneous report, circulated just before election, to the effect that a two-thirds majority of the total enrollment was necessary to pass the amendment. A two-thirds majority of the voting students, only, is necessary to amend the constitution.
According to Dean Dyer, the constitution may be interpreted to mean that the amendment really passed, however, the proposition will be put up at the spring election simply to verify it. The amendment really passed the men, according to the constitution, but there was insufficient interest on the part of the women to put it across among them.
The Council announced that the editor and business manager will be elected as usual from the junior class. This will help the new system if it is passed.

Fourth Annual Verbal Battle Concerns Tax Exemption of Securities
BOTH SCHOOLS CONFIDENT
Lawyers Won Debate Last Year Engineers Triumphed Twice Before
Richard Dungan, chairman of the committee for the coaching of the engineering team, said that the team has not had much experience, but it is a good one with strong material and the men are highly enthusiastic. "Naturally," he said, "we are going to win."
The annual Engineer-Law Debate, the date of which is set for April 20, in Fraser Chapel, will be a big event of the year, say faculty members of both schools. The subject, Resolved, that the issuance of tax exempt securities authorized by the state should be abolished, is a new one for University teams. It has been debated recently on state and national state legislatures and is a timely subject which vitally concerns every citizen of the United States.
"This year's dale presents a public issue," continued Dungan, "and every good citizen at the University should be interested and attend."
William L. Burdick, acting-dean of the School of Law, in a short talk at a convention of the law students held February 24, said in part regarding the debate: "The history or cause of law has always been popular, and well attended. The Engineers won the first two, but after that the Lawes began to wake up, and they won the third. We can't afford to be indifferent or to request preparation for this disease. We must realize that the number of attorneys at stake must do everything we can make a credible showing."
Debaters for the School of Law are David L. Sheffield, Benjamin Pester, David C. Shaffer, Brian McClain, Burt Camron, Eriest Neumann, and August Kramer. The engineering debaters are Robert Kiddoo, Edward Sweeney, Harry Shesky, Everett Vaughn, and Edmund Learned. Sheffield has examined him and Learned heads the engineers.
