ELECT C. C. WILLIAMS TO ILLINOIS FACULTY
NUMBER 112.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 14,1922.
Will Head Civil Engineering Department of "Big Ten University
K. U. PROFESSOR SINCE 1914
"His Work Has Been Notably Successful in Kansas" Dean Walker
Chicago, March 14—Clement C. Williams, professor of civil engineering at the University of Kansas was today named head of the Civil Engineering department of the University of Illinois, by the board of trustees. The appointment is effective in September.
C. C. Williams, whose appointment as head of the department of civil engineering at the University of Illinois, was announced today in Chicago, has been a member of the University board of the School of Engineering faculty and is secretary of the athletic board, he has done notable work for Kansas, and officials of the University united in expressing regret that he was leaving, at the end of his career, wide field he would have at Illinois.
Mr. Williams received his degree of bachelor of science in civil engineering at the University of Illinois in 1907, from whence he went to the University of Colorado as an instructor and was later made an assistant professor. He remained there until he was elected to his position in Kansas.
"Mr. Williams' work has been notably successful in Kansas," said P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, "and the teachers and students there did much better than we could offer him here that we could not hope to keep him. The University of Illinois civil engineering department is the working laboratory for the Engineering Association of America, and Mr. Williams, as head of the department, will have better training in the skills lenses in which he is particularly interested than he would have at any other institution.
"He has been particularly interested in problems of the maintenance of railway lines, and is in Chicago this week to present a paper on this subject, so important to all the railroads."
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, paid tribute to Mr. Williams as a member of the board, and commented particularly on his assistance in planning and superintending the engineering work on the new Kansas stadium. Three years ago he visited the great athletic fields at Harvard, University and Yale, and the next summer saw the Forshall stadium in France.
"This is the premier position in research in America, and the appointment is therefore a great honor to have here as a Professor of Law honored on the University of Kansas.
"Mr. Williams was not a fanatic on the subject of athletics," said Dr. Allen. "He believes in proper athletics, but would not let them overshadow University training. He was a safety valve on the board."
"We have been doing all in our power to keep Professor Williams in Kansas, but the salary is so much better and the opportunity is so much greater at Illinois, that we could not live in his way," said Chancel Lindley.
"last summer a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania told me he considered the six leading teachers in engineering in America."
Mr. Williams was made a member of the Kansas athletic board in 1917, and has been serving as the secretary of the local board, and as the Kansas faculty representative for the Conference. As a member of the Conference he had a large part in shaping athletic policies of Missouri Valley colleges.
In connection with his work as secretary of the University board it was necessary for him to keep track of the eligibility of athletes. So fairly did he perform these duties that he won the confidence of the men and even though it meant a withdrawal from a contest, they were worth to
"If C Square Williams says so it's on the square."
Mr. Lewis Bally, A. M. 21 left last for Talequah Oaklahoma where he has accepted a position as head of the biology department. Mr. Bally has been laboratory instructor in bacteriology here for last year and this.

FLONZALEY QUARTET CONCERT NEXT WEEK
Has Had Seventeen Years of Experience With But One
The Flonzaley Quartet came into existence during the summer of 1903 and has had seventeen years of artistic activity, both in America and the Continent. During its entire career, there has been only one change in the personnel, when owing to the war, the place of the original quartet was taken over by Louis Bailly, one of the most prominent violin players in the world.
The Flenzayle Quartet will give the fifth number of the University concert Course in Robinson Gymnasium, a summer course taught by the quartet, which is traveling under the management of Loudon Charlton, is made up of Adolfo Betti, first violin, Alfred Pochon, second violin; Louis Almeida and Iwan D'Arhameens, cellist.
For seventeen seasons the Flonza
Quartet has appeared in America.
It is the first quartet of its kind to
have made great success, with its records which are put out exclusively by the Victor Company.

PLAYS TO FULL HOUSE IN SPITE OF THE RAIN
$1200 a Year Showed Clever
Individual Work in Characterizations
DEALT WITH COLLEGE LIFE
Showed Reaction of Young College Professor to Economic Conditions
Handicapped in the giving of a play which was too long and lacked many of the elements of a real drama, the cast of "$1200 a Year," played with brilliant individual work to a crowded house last night.
In spite of the rain, the theatre was packed, in contrast to the comparatively small audience which witnessed the other Dramatic Club play, "The Big Idea." The play presented a problem dealing with the economic reactions professors was not a play which meant a strong appeal of interest to the average audience, because of the long-drawn out scenes and technical problems. The clever characterizations, however, relieved this to a very great extent and brought laughs. Scene with the mill hands and with the college professors were especially well received, and Elizabeth Dunkel, as always present Martha, brought a bright spot into the play whenever she
she spot into the play whenever she entered. Her character work was excellent and entirely consistent.
Leona Baumgartner, as Mrs. Stolzard, showed finish and poise in handling her part and was most effectively grown. Lois Ferguson, as the mill girl, did very clever work in her early years. She so-called "East Side" observers in
love with the son of the mill manager.
The leading man of the play, Fred Frebble, handled his role with his usual use and dramatic force with which he always appears. His splendid voice control was the feature of his playing. Chris Zupnik, played by
Frank Hill, and Cyrus McClure,
played by Hamilton Riggs, were
excellent characterizations of Boheman
and Scotch men respectively
and showed consistent playing up of
the recent.
Other character parts which were well presented were the janitor, the tailor and the several old professors who deeply decrept and typically "starve."
The play was cleverly handled in individual scenes and characters, but was badly articulated and lacked the ability to react. But the play was, however, a good performance for versity actors, and both the cast and the coach deserve hearty commendation for attempting so successfully an unusual and difficult play.
Turned Umbrellas Provoke Much Anger
Seven A. M.; The ever efficient alarm clock jangles this fact to the student world at large. "It can't be seven, why it," but it is just the same. Rolling out of bed, one finds himself standing in an inch of water. It must have been raining, verily the downpour still continues.
After bacon and eggs the pilgrimage hillward begins. It is not only raining, the wind is also getting its morning "constitutional."
For traveling on a wet windy day, it is really a necessity that one possess two pairs of olters. To take ones eyes off the ground means a shower of muddy water or a possible floundering in the mud, while with an installer's neglect an umbrella is very likely to take flight and will be hopelessly mangled before being resumed. Many a student arrived at his 8:30 class with mud and plus much mud and rain water.
March has long been known for its winds, but never was Mrs. Noah bothered by the wind whistling around her. It wasn't until she's ash up Mount Ouagard this morning.
According to Webster's first definition, an umbrella is a shade carried in hand for sheltering one from the rain. However, on a morning such as this was, one is prone to prefer that an umbrella be larger than the umbrella; a bell shaped structure which by contraction of ectodermal living serves as a organ for swimming.

Motion Pictures of Rock Drill Will Be Shown Soon
A motion picture showing the manufacture and use of the rock drill will be shown in the Chemistry lecture room at 4:30  clock Wednesday. While intended especially for the students of mining engineering, this film will be beneficial to all interested in the excavation of rock.
The modern high explosives and the rock drill together are essential to the building of railroads and canals, as well as to mining and quarrying, in fact to all work in which large quantities of rock are mechanically, it is one of the most inefficient machines in use, but there is no substitute for it.
ANTHROPOLOGIST MAY SOLVE DIFFICULTIES
International Difficulties Helped by These Principles, Says Dr. Wissler
"The present problem of the anthropologist is to formulate definite principles from the data which has been collected, that these principles may be used in the working out of international difficulties," said Clark Wissler, Ph.D. in an address before University students Monday evening.
According to Mr. Wisler the work outing of these principles will have to be done by the universities, and F. W. Blackmar of the University of Kansas, is an outstanding leader in anthropology in the study of anthropology in universities.
Mr. Wessler pointed out the ways in which a study of civilizations would be useful in the direction of international problems and relations.
"I in congress we must have men who understand the structure of other civilizations, their ideas and their systems. We need them to consider itself superior to every other race on earth. Much of the trouble between the United States and Japan has had back of it that feeling that we should consider Japan our equal as a race.
"Anthropology," said Mr. Wisler, "is a study of civilizations in their broadest sense. We will never understand the working of our own civilization unless we understand that of all countries and races throughout the world."
Delegates Will Visit University and Hold Discussions
HOLD NATIONAL CONVENTION
The national convention of the American Association of University Women will be held in Kansas City, April 5-8. Thursday, April 7, the delegates will visit the University and in the evening will hold a meeting, for with the general topic will be "The Status of Women in Higher Education."
This association is national and its members are graduates of accredited colleges, of which Kansas is one. Any graduate is eligible for membership. Its purpose is to encourage scholarship and higher standards for university students. The association has become a member of the International Federation.
At the Kansas City meetings, women from this country and abroad will speak, Dean Ada Cconstock of Smith College, who is president of the association, will give the opening address. At the meeting at the University, Chancellor E. H. Lindley will speak.
Mrs. E. H. Lindley has charge of the committee of arrangements for the visitors. Mrs. Hearty Brown Nelson of this city is state president.
K. U. Senate Will Decide Date of Commencemen
PUT JAYHAWKER PLAN BEFORE K. U. STUDENTS
The exact date for the commencement exercises this spring will be decided upon by the University Senate in a meeting called for this afternoon, where a special committee appointee the Chancellor will make a report and very probably will recommend an early commencement date.
By means of a postcard canvas, all Seniors were requested to express their preference as to date of the ex-tenure and the majority favored the early date.
In view of the fact that examinations for this spring have been scheduled earlier than usual, it is very probable that the Senate will accept the early date for commencement exercises.

Dean Dyer in Convocation Explained Amendment to Constitution
STUDENTS VOTE THURSDAY
Chancellor Commands Provision as One Which Will Work If Put in Use
The Jayhawker amendment, which provides for the placing of that publication on a sound basis, and which is to be voted upon by the students at all University, in all-University convolution this morning at 10:00 o'clock. Ed White, president of the Men's Student Council, presided, and talked were made by Dr. Warren B. Cooksey, Jennie Glendling, and Andy McDonald.
Warren B. Cooksey, who has served on the committee investigating last year's Jayhawker defeat, gave a detailed report on the findings of the committee. He said that as far as the committee had been able to ascertain, there was no dishonesty on the part of last year's editors. He showed, however, that the business manager of the 1921 year book displayed a very lissless attitude about the debts contracted by the publication. The total amount unpaid last year amounted to $8,254. The committee has $1,960 in sight to help meet these debts, thus leaving an amount of $1,328 still to be raised. Mr. Cooksey showed very conclusively that such a condition is to be blamed upon the present system of publishing the annual.
Deney Dyer, one of the committee submitting the amendment, briefly explained the salient features of the five main provisions. They are:
1. There is to be an advisory council consisting of three faculty members and four students.
2. The editor and business manager are to be elected from the sophomore class to serve when they are juniors.
3. The editor for next year is to be elected from this year's junior class, but the business manager is to come from the sophomore class.
4. The salaries of the editor and business manager are to be not less than $150 and not more than $350.
5. A sinking fund is to be established to take care of the profits from the publication, and to pay for any defect that might arise.
Dean Dyer said that handbills explaining the amendment in full would be distributed tomorrow.
Chancellor Lindley is strongly in favor of the plan. He pointed out that, in the same way that civilization must have an overlap of generations for the advancement of the race, he did not gain in the publishing of a college annual by the transfer of experience from one staff to the succeeding one. "I think the plan proposed is very democratic in that it is going to give a chance to every gifted person in the University to win a place," said the chairperson in this plan. I have seen it in its development, and I commend it to you."
Jennie Glendinning, as representative of the Executive Council of W. S. G. A., stated that it is the opinion of the Council that this plan will put the publication on a much more adequate financial basis.
Andy McDonald, in speaking for the Men's Student Council said, "You have seen the fallacy of the old plan, and it is up to every one of you to get out Thursday and express your worry that we must go over by a two-thirds vote."
Now Comes Aerial Police To Find Cattle Thieves
Buenos Aires (By Mail to the United Press). — Unique among prescriptions for apprehension of cattle thieves is that proposed by the chief police of the province of Buenos Aires in a lengthy communication addressed to the president. This suggests an aerial police service, including triplanes equipped with machine guns and a heavy airplane for conveyance of prisoners from outlying stations, or to conduct surveillance at strategical points. The recommendation states that utilization of a "hunting airplane" would make extremely difficult evasion on the part of cattle thievers or bandits, as the broad bare pamps is particularly suited to aerial observation.
