Workers From Religious Organization Holding Regular Meetings
HOWARD NAYLOR AT HEAD
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1928.
Important Lancheon Next Monday Night—All Workers Invited
Quiet and effective preparation is being made for the convocations to be hold beginning a week from next Tuesday, when Charles Whitney Gillman will address the university will address K, U, stuents. Organized groups of workers from every church in the city, and among the Hill religious organizations, are meeting regularly every week, according to Howell's student in charge of the preparations.
"We are looking forward to the Glikey Convocations as a series of meetings where K. U. students can go and judge for themselves the value of the religious side of life. We are extending to all an invitation. Mr. Glikey is a straight-thinking, widow-made man, with none of the charm of the regular, but with plenty of sense, wigged fire and vim. He is an individual force that makes itself felt on an audience."
Mr. Gilkey will address the students at three and possibly four conventions on three successive days. The subjects of his addresses have not yet been divulged, but it is understood that he will provide topics that interest the average students. As a student worker, Mr. Gilkey has enjoyed unanticipated success at the University of Chicago, of which he is a director, and is also pastor of the well-known Hyde Pick Baptist Church, which has an attendance every Sunday of thousands of university students and hundreds of faculty members.
Every Thursday night groups of students are meeting at Myers and Westminster Halls and discussing live religious topics under the direction of Dean Kent and Doctor Braden. The chief council of workers, composed of two representatives from different colleges, meet the Hill religious organizations, meet twice a week in preparation for Mr. Gilkev's coming.

Believes Country Paper is Good Field for Young Journalist
"I believe much crime would be prevented, especially in the smaller communities, if all courts were abolished, and the local newspapers compiled to publish an account of all offences and the names of the offenders," said W. A. Hill, editor of the Newspaper Review, speaking to News. I students on the problems of a country newspaper editor.
"In a small field, a newspaper man knows everyone and everyone knows the editor," said Mr. Hill, "and every one has their name in the paper if there's something good to print about them, but would do most anything to prevent bad reports being printed of them."
Mr. Hill has been in the newspaper business for over thirty-five years, and says he finds the country newspaper work much more interesting than that of the metropolitan papers. He said, "I believe the country paper is a good field for young journalists, and I would like to see all of our paper population headed by University graduates.
Phi Sigma, biological research society, held its regular meeting last night. A paper was read on "Laetanus" and many people took up Problems in water testing.
Mr. Hill also spoke to the class in editorial problems and polled this morning.
RELATIVE OF AUTHOR
SEES " $1200 A YEAR"
Ruth Leigh Delighted With Special Dress Rehearsal of Play
Unusual Character Comedy Ready for Production Monday Night
TWENTY MEMBERS IN CAST
"It is very well done. The character part are wonderful." This was the enthusiastic statement of Miss Ruth Ligh, a cousin of Newman Levy one of the authors of "Twelve Kandred Dollars a Year," after she had witnessed a special dress rehearsal of her play, which she last night in the Little Theater.
"Newman is really a lawyer," said Miss Lileah, "but he loves to write, and he sims, too, very well. He is the most versatile person I ever knew. He and Miss Perber wrote this play as a kind of a joke, neither of them had ever written a play by them; they were surprized at its success."
Miss Lleigh, who is lecturing for the *Morchard*'s Short Course, is a first cousin and childhood pimpae of Mr. Hugh co-curator with Eleanor Forde of the plaque.
"What was Newman's part in the writing? Oh, Newman will write all the delicious characters from the mill district into the play. You know Mr. and Mrs. Zunpkin are such funny characters. When we were little, Newman was to dress up his sister and me as a princess. He always had a Mr. Zunpkin in our frames. He seemed to think that such funny name."
Miss Leigh expressed herself as delighted with the staging of the play "T wish I could stay to see if put on next Monday night" also said, "But I

H.B. CHUBB TALKS AT FORUM
To Determine National Boundaries by Economics
"We have come to a new era in the development of new states," said Prof. H. B. Climb of the department political science, in his talk on "New Politics in America" at Cornell's Forum. Karen Hall has estimated that the adjustment of states is now around economic instead of political alignment. The old state is going to drop out and economic affairs are going to determine boundary lines," he said. "The only thing we can do today in the political science is to study economic science."
The whole man of Europe is being broken up into small impaired states not strong enough to set up a government of their own, so the League of Nations has given larger nations the power to negotiate and until government can be formed, or claims settled. The struggle and controversy over these states is all on account of their economic value. These economic problems are not merely an upsetting of labor, but are also problems which must be setted.
"We must adjust one minds to the new ideas of a state and its place. Each one is having fewer boundaries than the other and whether you want to be opposed to Polishism than I to the Soviet government has lasted for quits a while. Do not look at this as a radical movement, which must be handled differently. We need to as a problem and we will be able to settle it all the sooner."
Announcement has been received of the marriage of Mildred V. Jensen to Edwin Bryan Darrah. Mrs. Darrah is the department of chemistry last semester.
Engineers Save
Engineers Save Lives With Hats
At last a use has been found for the senior engineer sambrero. It is to save the lives of college men.
Two men in the college attended a conversation held by the engineers in Marvin Hall Wednesday. Hardly had the conversation begin when the two men came so excited that the room, literally, could no longer hold them. The room burst. That is the window at their backs departed and left hurriedly for the ground two floors below. The only thing that prevented the boys following was the fact that two senators were sitting in a situation and quickly covered the newly opened sneezes with their hats.
Dean P. F. Waller's secretary said today that the window had not yet been reuilted and that the occurrence apparently created little disturbance.
TO OPEN UNIVERSITY IN NORTHERN ALASKA
Development of Interior Facilitated by Railway Recently Completed
The "northernmost" university in the world will open its doors next September at Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaska Agricultural College and University have hundred miles of the Arctic Circle according to Charles E. Bunnell former United States District Judge at Fairbanks, and president of the new institution, who is visiting college students on the purpose of obtaining a faculty and staff position.
The recently completed Alaskan railway from Seward to Fairbanks, a distance of 467 miles, has made possible the development of the interior of Alaska, bringing with it the need for the school. According to the report, the practical as possible in its work, attempting to solve the problems of the Alaskan miners and farmers. At the outset the college will offer courses in agriculture, general science, home economics, and mining. Special training will be to aid in the work of introducing more modern methods of mining.
Judge Bunnell is a graduate of Bucknell University in 1900 and has resided in Alaska since that time. He was engaged in educational work before his appointment to the bench and became an instructor. The work of starting the college will be difficult, but Judge Bunnell predicts for it a brilliant future. There is no doubt, he says, of the wealth of the country, and with its new railroads, an arm of prosperity, built upon the resources of the mining and reindeer industries. In this work he expects the college to play an important part.
Judge Bannell will be in Lawrence for several days as the guest of Prof. D. L. Patterson, of the history department. He will speak at the University Club, Saturday evening, on "The Future of Alaska," and again Thursday afternoon, at 4:30, in Fraser Chapel, on "Alaska of Today."

Adopts Resolution to Bring Another Merchant to Next Years Meeting
LAST TALK MADE BY IVY
Nebraska Professor Gives Qualities Essential to a Good Salesman
The seventh Merchants short course of the University of Kansas closed six aftersun with a final session at Wesleman's Tea Room. The address by Paul W.-Ivy, Professor of Marketing at the University of Nebraska was received enthusiastically by the visiting merchants. As a result they adopted resolutions to the university that should return next year and endeavor to bring another merchant with him.
"I will or will be will is built on the nearest thing the people see," said Paul W. Ivy in his talk this morning. "It is, therefore, necessary that every citizen be a good example. One of the main things that bring good will is personality. Personality consists of three things: body, clothes,
and health. We have to have vitality to meet people. People like health. Physical vitality is necessary to put people in a position to sell the selling force of a man is vitality. Clothing is like a picture frame. People are clothing first. Clothes should attract attention by good selection in selection rather than by guidance.
There is a series of qualities that can be built up in a salesman. The first is enthusiasm. Customers do not like a salesman who has no spirit. Enthusiasts should be transferred from the salesman to the customer. Enthusiasm leads to loyalty, which is necessary to every salesman. All salespeople should know the history of the store. Enthusiasm cannot be fed without education. "Meet your salepeople and ask them with them," suggested Mr. Ivac.
The next quality is honesty. Every one thinks he is honest and ninety-five per cent of the retailers intend to be, but fall through ignorance.
The third and last essential quality is promptness. It is readiness to serve the customer by the way you act and the way you talk. A customer should not be made to take a negative stand as the customer is the biggest thing in the store, and he wants quick service.
COMPANIES SEEK ENGINEERS
Professors Believe Business Conditions Are Improving
That engineering jobs are opening us much better this year than liai, is the opinion of prof. C. C. Williams, department of civil engineering.
Professor Williams said that last year few firms were calling for engineers and that everywhere he wrote men were being turned off, while already this year several firms brieven to him asking for graduates to whom they could offer positions. He thinks this is a sign that business is picking up and that by the end of the year many companies will be available which will give this year's graduating class a big advantage over that of last year.
Prof. George C. Shand of the department of electrical engineering says that openings for electrical engineers are at least normal for this early in the spring. He has received the University Electric Company, The Westinghouse Electric Company, The General Electric Company, and the Western Union Telegraph regarding positions which they have to offer graduates this year. A man will visit the University from each of the electric companies sometimes March or April to talk to the seniors about jobs they have to offer.
Chancellor to a Banquet

M. U. WOULD PLAY OFF
MISSOURI VALLEY TIE
Cleverner Wants to Meet Kansas in Convention Hall Next Week
TO BE DECIDED JRDAY
Decision to be M Athletic Board Morning
by the crow
An invitation to play off the Missouri Valley title tie in Convention Hall sometime next week was extended to the University of Kansas in a telegram received this morning by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletes, from Director C. Z. Chevenger of Missouri. The Athletic Board will meet Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock to consider the challenge.
The wire, from Director Cleveland follows: "What action did the Kannan committee take today? Missouri wishes to play off the with Kannan in one game any night next week in Convenience League at once, at vice, Sigurd C, Z. Cleveland."
Doctor Allen wired Missouri at noon today that the decision of the Athletic Board would be made tomorrow morning. The decision would be sent as soon as completed.
"We will abide by the decision of the Athletic Board," was Coach Allen's comment this morning.
It is probable that the Board will vote unfavorably for the game. Chancellor Lindley is president of the Board and C, C. Williams faculty representative to the Missouri Valley conference in secretary. Mr. Williams is very well acquainted with the conditions and it is thought that the Board will follow the suggestions of Chancellor Lindley and Mr. Williams.
Alan can the be player off, if called. Allen favors a three game series but
the league has not made it possible of following any decision made by the Athletic Board.
K. U. HAD TELEGRAPH CLUB
Students Ran Model Lines in Early '90's
There is a chapter of thought transmission in connection with the earlier history of the University that is known as the Telegraph Club. It offers phones, radio and wireless. A University Telegraph Club was in operation for several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s before telephone were sufficiently common to be in general use.
Some of the scientific students and professors built a complete circuit with about twenty-five offices at the University, which were down town, connecting with Western Union, and the Santa Fe Station. It proved to be a great convenience, and at the same time gave an opportunity to study in an anatomy wav course of course.
The superintendent and general manager was Will H. Reynolds, who was graduated in 1890 as an engineer, and is now employed by the General Electric Company. It was his business to keep the line order, build new flows and collect dues and the fines for leaving the line open.
Time was obtained from St. Louis, just as it is now obtained by wireless. The late Professor Blake, who was then in charge of the physics department, was one of the earlier students, and later, when the telephones came into general use, the line was abandoned as no longer necessary.
Professional Sorority Entertains Organizer
