Gilkey Spoke of Diseases of Social Organism and the Modern Samaritan
ROBBER ATTITUDE WRONG
Property is An Ultimate Good But Not When Might Means Right
"Diseases of the "social organism" are caused by germs and become epidemic in strikes and wars, just like 'flu' and cholera and yellow fever," said Charles W. Glikey, addressing students of the University of Kansas at a student convocation yesterday evening at 7:30 in Robinson Gym.
"Jesus is the great physician preventively as well as curtiously; able to diagnose and forestall our social as well as our personal breakdowns. In the parable of the Good Samaritan he has given us a very compact and discerning analysis of what the germs are and when they come out, problems—expressed not as formulae but as familiar figures on the Jericho road of life.
"The trouble was all started by robbers; men whose simple and consistent attitude toward other feks was worse than the power, and he may keep who can."
Doctor Gilkey piled out that view of property as the ultimate good, and any means as justified to get it and keep it always produces tragedies; in nations that rely on armies and navies to exploit weaker peoples; in employees whose final appeal is alike so often to economic forces that who use their brains and education actively as weapons with which to get rid
Speaking again of the parable, Doctor Gilkey said, "There is something significant in the fact that the Lord chose as his examples of passers-by, a priest and a Levitic. It is a bit of irony that these represented organized religion and education of that day. It is here that the college student course was introduced. The idea that if a man is not a fraternity brother, his business is none of ours is skim to the indifference of the priest and the Levitic."
More than two hundred and fifty persons stayed for the "question box" after the meeting. More questions than he had time to answer were asked. One of the most interesting questions was: Who abolished? Mr. Gilley's answer was: No, the fraternity can be used to clear up the Jericho Road.
The third convoction of the series was held at 4:30 o'clock in Robinson Gym this afternoon. Mr. Glikey spoke on "Changing the Rules," and continued the parable of the Good Samaritan. Tomorrow, Thursday, will see the four and last convoction of the series, including address by Dr. Glinky on the subject "Putting Religion to Work." It will be held at 4:30 o'clock in the Gym. All students are especially invited to attend this last convoction.
Program Tonight to Offer Many Attractions
SOPHOMORE WOMEN TO DINE
Ghost stories, a Spanish dance, songs, and yellls will constitute a part of the attractions offered on the program for the entertainment at the Sophomore Women's Banquet tonight at 6:45 o'clock at the Kickmons, according to Dorothy Higgins, man of the entertainment committee.
All details of the program could not be learned today, but it is certain that Elizabeth Martin and Dorothy Blackmar will give readings, that Helen Elfeldt will dance, and that there will be new, original class songs and yells for the occasion, since the primary motive in having the dinner is to promote "pep" among the Sophonore women for class affairs.
Tickets for the banquet are on sale for fifty cents, and can be secured from Emily Moeller, Dorothy Higgins and Margaret Wallace.
Graduate Club Will Have Banquet Friday, March 31
The Graduate Club will give a banquet, Friday evening, March 31, at the Congregational Church. There will be a program to be given between courses, in which each department is to be represented by a toast.
The purpose of the banquet is to get the graduate students together and create a common interest.
It Was in 1886 That Freedom Of the Press Was Upheld Here By William Allen White et a
Attend the Gilkey Convocations.
It happened some 36 years ago—in 1886, to be exact. A crowd of students under the leadership of William Allen White had gathered in Fraser Hall outside the door of what is now the Chancellor's office, where the Board of Regents, the administrative body of the University at Chapel Hill, met. The students were paying their respects to the Regents.
In the crowd were Herbert Hadley, afterward governor of Missouri, William H. Borah of Idaho, now Senator Borah, and Fred Funston and Vernon Kellogg, both somewhat well-known since that time.
What was their business with the august Board of Regents? Thereon hangs the tale.
Back in 86, long before the birth of the Daily Kansan, the ambitions of K. U. cubs were realized in a weekly publication called the University Courier, Charles Crane was its editor and Thacher Gilmore its business

"Coal Strike to be 100 Per Cent Efficient," Say Officials
New York, March 22 — The great call strike forended midnight, April 1, will be 100 per cent effective, offshore mine workers declared here today.
Reports from the anthracite and bituminous fields throughout the country indicate that virtually every order will obey orders to suspend work.
Cleveland, March 22—Members of the United Mine Workers Policy Committee who are to meet here Friday to outline "battle plans" for the conduct of the mine strike called for midnight, April 1, began arrival today.

Washington, March 22—A public appeal by President Harding to coal operators and miners to settle their differences and avoid a nation-wide suspension of work April 1 may be made within a week.
It was learned authoritatively today that Harding is inclined toward such a move as a final effort to draw the bituminous operators into a national peace conference and advocate of settlement in all districts.
Obey these Rules Or Be Spanked
Spanking was decreed by Max Wikower, justice of the peace at Evanton, Illinois, for Northwestern University students who break these rules
manager. But it was the work of Harry Valentine that caused the commotion. He wrote an article severely criticising a member of the faculty, and the Board of Regents met to deal with the issue, which remained that he was to be expelled.

The smoker that was to be given Thursday night by Jayhawk Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War has been posthumously awarded an impressive entertainment this week officers of the organization say.
Disabled Vets' Smoker Postponed For a Week
Whereupon the students rallied to his defense. They went and called upon the Board of Regents.
It was originally intended to have either Couch G. B. Patrick's corps of wrestlers or Capt. W. P. McLean's Industrial School boxers, but other emganements had made it impractical or either, group to be, at the smoker.
"The whole rotunda, do yu call it!—anyway the crossing of the corridors in Fraser—was filled with us," said Mr. White in telling the story. "We sent a delegation in to talk to the Regents. And as a result, although" Valentine was suspended, he was reinstated.
The smoker will be given on Thursday of next week at the American Legion店. Harry Robbins, com- pany's founder, chaptew chapter, announced today.
"It wasn't Valentine's sentiments we were defending. He was wrong, I think, and we were willing to see him retract. It was the rights of free speech and a free press that we were after. And we vindicated 'em," he added. "There were big doin' in those days."

ENGINEERS TO HEAR INSTITUTE PRESIDENT
Colonel Durght Coming to Talk to Students of Mining, Geology and Metallurgy
Col. Arthur S. Dwight, president of the American Institute of Mining and Metalurgical Engineers, will be here Wednesday afternoon, March 29, according to C. M. Young, of the department of mining engineering, who is ending out invitations to attend a series of this region asking them to visit the University and meet Colonel Dwight when he comes.
Colonel Dwight's principal object in making the trip is to become acquainted with students in *mining*, geology, and metallurgy and their work. Wednesday afternoon he will watch *Making Sisters* and Rooating and Sintering of Ores.
Colonel Dwight is an expert in his line, and knows a great deal about the roasting of ores, since he was thirteen
years with the Colorado Smelting Company, at Pueblo, where he began as an assayer and was finally made General Superintendent.
Colonel Dwight was with the Greene Consolidated Copper Company at Cananes, Mex., at the time of the Díaz uprising in 1963. He turned his industrial workers to a military unit that opposed the rebels and reached the city to raid it for money and supplies, he stopped their advance and turned them back.
Colonel Dwight has added to his experience more than twenty-two months service in France. At the request of the French government he designated special metallic activities to French companies engaged in work.
QUARTET ORGANIZED IN 1903
The summer of 1903 the Flonzale Quartet has continued with but one change until the present time. During the war Louis Bally took the place of Mr. Ara, the viola player, and has been with the quartet ever since. The other three members are Adolfo Betti, first violin; Alfred Pochon, second violin; and Ivan D'Archambue, Cello.
Only One Change in Personne Since First Tour
Under the management of Loudon Charlton these musicians have been making concert tours over the country for seventeen years. They make great music and are a laureate tonight as the fifth number of the University Concert course.
Radio Concerts Heard In Blake Hall Last Night
The radio apparatus in Blake Hall is now receiving concerts satisfactorily. Last night the Kansas City Star concert and another in Lincoln, Neb., were clearly heard by Dr. Austin Bailey and J. D. Stranathan. Monday day evening, they heard the Kansas City Post concert.
People who heard them last year are enthusiastic in their praise and a large crowd is expected to hear them this evening at 8:20.
Although the apparatus is not large enough to accommodate many people, anyone who is particularly interested in wireless may attend these concerts by speaking to either Dr. Bailey or Dr. Williams. The speaker will probably not be enclasped as they will only be used for experimental purposes.

Professors Admit Snap Course Often Presents an Opportunity Of Unusual Value to Students
Is the snap course like the wild pigeon doomed to extinction? University authorities and prominent educators all over the United States seem to argue that the tendency is in that direction. The essential thing necessary to a snap course is that it shall not require a great deal of preparation outside the classroom.
A question seems to have arisen in the minds of some of the faculty as to whether or not such a tendency is a good thing for the modern university. Some of them content that it is not.
One faculty member when he was an undergraduate in a certain large western university recalls that he was enrolled in a one hour course in psychology, and it was this course that he be attend class. He contends that it was one of the most valuable courses he has ever taken because the instructor took occasion to present his own philosophy of life to the class, and that it influenced many of them in their conduct after life. This course is similar to another recalls a similar experience in an eastern university. The name of the course was Advanced Hebrew, with one hour credit. The class discussions, however, were in English and
LANDSCAPE GARDENING TO UNIFY UNIVERSITY
Permanent Set of Plans for New Buildings, Pavings and Soddings
"We are simply trying to think of the whole University at once for the future buildings, roads and grouping of the buildings in laying out the plans for landscape gardening," said S. Herbert Hare of the firm, Hare & Hare, Landscape Garden, Kansas City. "We are there Monday with Geo. E. Kessler of St. Louis, Mo., making plans of the campus for landscape gardening."
"We are working out a general plan and program to avoid a haphazard appearance of the future University of Kansas. The plans being made are for the University of twenty years hence. Instead of making plans for each new building as it is erected and having to return every time that another building is built and the permanent set of plans. Detailed plans are being developed for the gardening of the roads, lawns and walks; the entrances to the campus and especially the paths to the new Stadium," said Mr. Hare.
Grading down of the land in front of Administration Building, leveling and siding it are some of the plans, according to Chancellor Lindley. "The new library that is be erected back of Snow Hall will be built in a quadrange form and be extended from time to time as the need arises. The whole University is being developed on this quadrangle plan. Instead of a straight line of buildings they will have a curved plain. Another thing is the paving of the campus. This morning the road will be paved from Green Hall to the crossing in front of the Chemistry Building. As we secure appropriation for paving, this road will be extended," said Chancellor Lindley.
RED CROSS OFFICIAL COMES
J. L. Gillin is Looking For Possible R. C. Secretaries
J. L. Gillin, Director of the Educational Division of the American Red Cross is expecting to visit the University; Friday, March 24th. Doctor Gillin is visiting some of the colleges and universities as part of the purpose of securing prospective candidates as executive secretaries for Red Cross local chapters.
Doctor Gillin desires to meet students who have majored in Sociology and who desire to go into social service work. Those interested should leave their names at the office of Dean Blackmar.
An effort will be made to secure Doctor Gillin for a lecture to the students in the social science departments. Doctor Gillin is a friend of Kalmir, and will be entertained by him during his stay in Lawn.
Florence Ingham, A. B. 17, who is teaching in Eiffingham, was a guest at the Gamma Phi Beta house last week end.
department, a man who has since be come famous for his keen insight in to human nature.
Nearly every faculty member recalls similar experiences. One was enrolled in a course entitled Creative Listening, another in The History of Writing, and a third in a course in which the students of the class took up the study of character and how it may be judged.
In view of these facts many of the faculty are agreed that some of the most valuable things found in college education are not in books. After all, they contend that it is not the course but the opportunity that counts in the end. Many of them teach a course and such an opportunity—a chance to meet learned men and absorb some of their philosophy of life and living. Perhaps the tendency to do away with the snap course may be the best after all. There seems to be no general agreement about the matter. That it does have a decided influence on the lives of some students many of the faculty are agreed. Such a tendency may be compared to the remark of a well known faculty member recently when he said, "I'm glad they did kill Sorcerer. He was a mutilated a detriment to the youth of his time."
“Assets of the Ideal City” Subject of Book
NEW BOOK BY K. U. PROF.
“Assets of the Ideal City,” is the title of the new book written by Charles M. Fassett, of the department of municipal government, and published by the Crowell Company of New York. Mr. Fassett is a former mayor of Spokane after being a successful engineer and president of the company. The result is this book of 160 pages which was inspired by the author’s participation in municipal progress which was already accomplished in America.
This book attempts to sketch no impractical utopia. He shows how the modern city is tending toward the ideal. Step by step the city has taken up problems which were never dreamed of in the olden days. This book is essentially a catalog of such assets.
Its aim is to collect in one compact volume a brief statement regarding each of the more important activities which have come to be generally understood as appertaining to mod. community life, and they are set down in the hope of encouraging a still higher grade of citizenship by the development of greater interest in public welfare.
Calendar States Spring is Here
Well, it's here. At last the speculation and wishing that has been prevalent these last few weeks can cease. The men who have taking trips past cur-leading clothing displays in a foulle endeavor to decide whether that striped grey would look better than the brown plaid can now enter, purchase and blossom forth. The young women who have been watching and waiting for the first sweet chirping of the robin, and trying to decide up what coat to wear, would do that suit, or that new hat, must soon decide, for Tuesday was the day that the calendar says marks the opening of spring.
One advantage of the coming of spring is the great savings on Sunday meals, which will be made possible through the consumption of weenies and the semi-barbeck steaks. The shoe man and repairers rub their hands in delight as each pair of hikers comes to pick up shoes well as with all other lines will be picked to pick up. That is, all lines except stabling, for who can spend the evening inside with a book when there is so much calling one outside.

Authorities Believe That Everett Bradley Established New Mark in Low Hurdles
CLAIMS WILL BE VERIFIED
No Account Has Been Found of Time Equalling That of Kansas Man
According to, all the "deep" available on the subject, it seems probable that Everett Bradley, Kansas track captain, broke the world's record in the 50-yard low hurdles in the dual meet with Missouri, last Friday night in 2014. He scored in 5-4-5 seconds, tying the dual record for that event held jointly by Simpson, Sylvester and Scholz of Missouri, but Bradley ran over four hurdles, whereas the former record was made over two. At present no records exist for a time being bested, and sport fans believe that it is improbable.
According to Coach Karl Schadleman, the only record approaching Bradley's is that of Gallagher of the Kansas Aggies, who made the same time over three hurdles, but was disqualified for jumping the gun. The record of the three Missourians over three hurdles has ever been made in the event, so there is not much doubt that Bradley's record will stand.
The four-hurdle race has been used in the dual meet only in recent years. Th hurdles are placed ten yards apart, making the race much more difficult than when only two hurdles, twenty yards apart, are used. Never before have athletes competed on anything like Bradley's time, at least in Valley meets and so far as Kansas fans have been able to discover, it has not been equal anywhere.
If no record is found that equals Bradley's time, the matter will be taken up with the proper authorities to have his record certified and recognized. Then he will go to Missouri Valley for him in Kannah, City Friday night will afford another chance at the title, for the four-hurdle event is included in the program.
RAILROADS BUILDING AGAIN
500 Miles of Track to be Laid This Year
Kansas City, Mo., March 22.—A majority of the miles of new railroad lines that will be laid in 1922 will be built in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, according to railroad officials here today.
The construction is the first material building since the war. Southwestern projects will include the 55-mile Satanta, extension of the Santa bea in Kansas, and a 40-mile line from Owen to Pawhuska, Okla.
Thirty-four miles of road will be constructed from Dallas to Terrill by the Texas Construction Company to be used as an Interurban line. The Interstate Commerce Commission has authorized the construction of 75 miles of new line by the Kansas, Oklahoma & Southern. Important second track work in various southwestern states will be done by the Santa Fé, the Frisco and other roads. The M. K. & T. has awarded contracts for construction of $3,000,000 worth of new terminal facilities at Denison, Tex.
Southwestern railroads will also make extensive enlargements in rolling stock for the first time since the war, it was announced.
Coghill Goes to Chicago For Nerve Experiments
Dr. George E. Coghill, professor of anatomy, expects to leave for Chicago in a few days where he will spend a month's leave of absence studying the development of behavior in vertebrate embryos as related to the development of the nervous system. Doctor Coghill said this morning that the experiments would take place at the University of Chicago, where the medical department has set aside a room for the work.
The members of the staff of anatomy at the University of Chicago will co-operate with the visiting doctors, and will provide the technical assistance and incidental service that the work requires.
