THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Chancellor Lindley Receives An Interesting Gift from His Friend, Dr. David Starr Jordan
Cancellor E. H. Lindley received a exercise package recently. It was left by Dr. David Starr Jordan from California, and its contents were first packed many years ago. A letter recommending his help would lead to seed assistance in opening his gift, and specifying the kind of aid that would be needed.
Chancellor Lindley sent the box to H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the department of palenotology, and soon followed it himself. Together they examined its contents. There were small alabas of white stone, nothing more.
Acting according to directions, however, the Chancellor held one side of the largest slab, the curator the other. A thin dark streak ran along the center of the edge between their hands. Both pulled gently. Then, as easily as the leaves of a book part, they broke the fossil remains of a school of herring that had been placed there fifty- or seventy-five thousand years before. The little fish, swimming in a school, were doubletrapped in bayou of some sort, Mr. Martin said, and then covered over with ash from some volcanic eruption. He was on one side of the opened slab, half on the other. The fish forty-five in number, were clearly outlined in the soft stone.
MUSEUM TO EXHIBIT PREHISTORIC FOSSILS
Two Distinct Varieties of Plesiosaur Are Mounted for Exhibition
A number of fossils of the prehistoric mammal are on exhibit at the Museum, similar to those which, it is thought are still to be found in the sedimentary layers that surround Mr. H. Martin, the University Museum has the best skeleton of Pleiosaur that has ever been mounted, and this one, found on the third floor of the Museum gives a very comprehensive view of what the expedition aims to find.
Mr. Martin has also just finished a small colorful restoration of one of the contemporaries of the Plesiosaur. This small model is now on exhibit, and though only two feet long, gives a realistic idea of the real animal that existed centuries ago. These ancient mammals are essentially deep sea an-
There are two forms of the Plesiosaur, the short-necked and the long-necked species. The Museum also has a head and part of the neck of the Plesiosaur in its collection, to inhabit in the same case as the restoration of the Short-Necked Plesiosaur
namals, but Mr. Martin says that it is together possible the few of them have been able to exist through all the years without having been found previously.
Should the expedition to find this pre-historic mammal be able to secure one alive, science will have found the first thing to give an insight to the actual habitats and life of the world thousands of years ago.
Flint Says Local Advertising is Competitive
CREATIVE SELLING NEEDED
A great deal of retail advertising is only 25 per cent effective when it might at least be 90 per cent effective if written as well as the average retail merchant talks to a customer. Prof. L. N. Flint of the university of New York told attendants at the Merchants Short Course here Thursday morning.
Besides the large alab, twelve by eighteen by three inches in size, which was of volcanic rock and only seven or eight pounds in weight there were the fossil remains of a fish eightinches long, resembling one of our ancestors. There are fewer smaller pieces. All were gathered, the letter stated "from the micre of Lompoe from a bed of solid diatoms." The territory around Lompoe masses four square miles. Diatoms, Mr. Martin explained, are made up of what were once living organic matter, mostly thousands of them together, and can be distinguished only under the microscope.
"Retail copy too often tells olls where the goods may be obtained," said Professor Flint, "not why. It doesn't matter." The competitive advertising, not creative. The people who already wish to buy are served by such advertising. But the trouble with business today is that the people do not wish to buy much except necessities. Creative copy is the kind that so vividly presents the value of a product; it makes the coolness of denying themselves the pleasure of possession.
"The best of national advertising is of this creative type. In this regal, the retail copy writer has much to learn from the national advertiser."
The specimens received will be put under glass and exhibited soon in the museum, Mr. Martin said. A part of the collection will be placed in the Chelanor's office.
Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University and the greatest authority in the world on living fish, is an old friend of the Chancellor and was his instructor in Bloomington, Ind.
Student to Talk at K. C. Y. M. C. A.
V. S. Ramamaling, a Hindu student of the University of Kanasa, will speak to the Kanana City Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, concerning the conditions in North India. The C. A. is now relaigned, for its work in India and Mr. Ramamaling's age is expected to help further the campaign. He has lived in India for a number of years and thus comes to the Y. M. C. A. with first-hand information.
"I can remember," said Chancellor Lindley, "when it would be one of the happiest occurrences of the day to meet Doctor Jordan outside my gate. I wonder if he ever gave him with him. This gift from him is a delightful reminder of those days."
WINTER AGAIN IN KANSAS
Colorado,New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas Suffer Stovms
Topkapi, March 10—Snow, sleep, and wind in *N western Kansas* are hammering wires and rail traffic according to reports. The storm extended in a more modified form into Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and the Tecas panhandle. Trains from the west were nearly all late.
All telegram wires into Salma were down. The American Telephone and Telegram Company reported eight telegram wires feet high and wind in that vicinity.
From eight inches to one foot of snow was reported from Liberal, Garden City, Greenburg, Coldwater, Pratt and other points. Highways were blocked in many localities, rural schools being suspended.
The Western Union written wire communication with Hutchinson cut off. The storm, first in the form of a damp sticky snow which turned to dust from the ground miles of telephone wire to the ground in many parts of the state.
Faculty Rule in Plan of Proposed K. C. College
A unique type of educational institution has been proposed for Kansas City, Mo., by some fifty college professors. The plan, which provides the necessary support of the board of trustees, is the corporate and governing board.
Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, of the University of Michigan political science department, believes that if this plan is carried out, it will be the "most radical departure in the history of the United States from the conventional type of institution of higher education." Such a college would be similar to the more democratic colleges and universities of Europe.
By The Way
"The attempt to serve educational co-ordination, to make the institution and the students as nearly self-supporting as possible," said the organization for faculty control were favored by Prof. John Dewey, of Columbia University. The student body would be recognitions* in information about the department *the ble is carried out.*
Dr. G. E. Coghill is in Chicago attending the meetings of the educational section of the American Medical Association.

"Why not have a real fire some day?" sighed the Campus Editor as one more disappointment was handed her in the form of a "false alarm" story, when her hopes had been high for a smoozy girl to reign supreme often the case.
Children 10c
The rumble and rush of the heavy motors plunging down street send that delicious "tremblly" feeling up and down our spinal columns, jumping hastily for a cap we follow rapidly in the van of the snorting engines, a hard-to-follow nose, darting tongues of flame and the third of falling walls etched on our minds.
Panting up to the designated place a wisp of smoke from a partially wrecked coop greets our hungry optics. We are discuted. Such was the case this morning. Five dollars is estimated by Fire Chief William Duffield but all damages done by an over zealous chimney which threw a few sparks.
The cost of calling out the department was several times greater than the cost of the conflagration.
Safety first—but why not have a real fire some day or fewer false alarms?
