STUDENTS WILL VOTE ON JAYHAWKER PLANS
Men's Student Council and W. S G.A.Approve Ameadment to Constitution
GOES TO POLLS MARCH 16
Provisions Would Have Juniors Edit Annual; Salaries Cut to $350
New plans for the publication of the Jayhawker have been agreed up on by both the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. and will be submitted to the vote of the entire student body on Thursday, March 16.
The plans include three chief provisions which must be approved by two-thirds of the student body as an amendment to the constitution, before they can be put into effect. They are: Provision for election of the editor and business manager, provision for an advisory board, and provision for the disposition of profits and losses.
The editor and business manager, according to the new plans, shall be juniors during their tenure of office. This is done primarily to enable these two men to serve on the advisory board during their senior year. In making the change from the former plan of having these two offices filled by seniors, special provision is made for this spring's election. A vote will be elected from the junior class, and the business manager from the sophomore class. Both classes will be allowed to vote on both men this spring.
The advisory board shall be made up of seven members as follows: The editor and business manager of the previous year, one student to be elected annually by the Men's Student Council, one student to be elected annually by the Executive Council of the W. S. G. A., and three faculty members to be appointed by the Chancellor. Special pro-credit committee of the advisory board have been made, and will be announced later.
The third important part of the plan is that of disposition of profits and losses. The editor and business manager shall each receive a minimum of $150 and a maximum of $350 for their services, and 10% to be at the discretion of the advisory board, depending primarily upon the profits for that year, the quality of the book, and the faithfulness of their service. Cash profits should go into a dayshaker investment fund until such fund becomes available. Dayshaker profit will be given to the student loan fund. Losses shall be met from the sinking fund.
NUMBER 109.
It is desired that a covocation may be hold the first of next week in order to lay before the students the entire plans as recommended. It is very important that all students should interest themselves in this matter, according to the committee on plans, as the new plans cannot be adopted unless favored by two-thirds of the entire student body. The ballot to vote that of whether or not the plans shrail be adopted, and thus the voting will be very simple. Booths will be placed in Green, Fraser, Snow, and Marvin Halls.

SENDS OUT NEWS OF MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
Second Memorial News Letter Features Map of Work Done
The second Memorial Corporation news letter was issued this week by the Memorial Corporation and was sent out to all former K. U. students. The goal for a million dollars is still more than $200,000 away, according to the letter, but it is the hope of Memorial headquarters that the setting of a definite date for the closing of the campaign will cause all local campaigns to be completed within the next two months.
A picture of the Michigan Union is printed on the editorial page"of the publication. Chancellor Lindley is in communication with Pond and Ponk, Chicago architects of the Michigan University. It has been proposed or Kansas to follow the general idea if the Michigan school.
Another picture is of the 1922 K. U.
basket ball squad, with an article
about the team, and that K. U. is
playing in a game with the Missouri-
in company with Missouri.
Other articles are: a map showing the work done in each county is featured on the front page of the letter, answers to queries concerning the campaign, a list of contributions from donors, a list of $40,250, and some $U. U. News.
A. S. M. E. OFFICER SPEAKS
An interesting letter is also published, showing the loyalty of a former K. U. student. This student was in the university only a short time when he was forced to withdraw on account of tuberculosis and soughtreuvenance. He pledged $100 to the Memorial fund, and sent the full amount of his pledge, with these words, "I cannot hope to return to the University to finish my work, so it gives me added pleasure to be able to help a little person the realization of that great nominal to the soldier dead of the child."
J. W. Nelson Tells of Foreign Manufacturing Methods
The differences in the processes on manufacture in the United States, England, and Germany formed a part of the talk of J. W. Nelson, chairman of the membership committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, to electrical and mechanical engineers, at th Bta Tau house last night.
Mr. Nelson visited in England and Germany in 1913 with a delegation of A. S. M. E. m. Men. While in England, Mr. Nelson used a method used to straighten gun barrels. Instead of using the machine process of the American manufacturer, the workmen would sight down the barrel and then strike the barrel across an anvil.
The English method of making iron bars mathematically accurate, was also interesting, according to Mr. Nelson. Swinging back and forth on a bar, the water pressure caused the bar beneath a large hammer operated by water power. The bar was perfect when finished. The difference between American and English methods he said was merely the difference in the material and machine-made material.
*In Germany Mr. Nelson observed the great lengths to which Germany resorted in her determination to make Hamburg a great commercial center. The Elbe River, the key to the success of the project, was dredged at great expense and converted into a navi­vival canal.
Mr. Nelson was a student at the University some forty years ago, he says, and his parents lived near "Uncle Jimmy" Green, who at that time was practicing law in Lawrence. He worked with the closer cooperation between the student branches of the A. S. M. E. and the society itself.

MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN TO BE ENDED JUNE
LETTERS TO ALL ALUMNI
Local Campaign to be Completed in Large Numbers by
June 1 has been designated as th date for the completion of the Memorial campaign. By that time all the campaigns will be completed and an effort is being made to hurry up the drives throughout the country.
March
In order to have everything completed by that date it will be necessary to have the local campaigns scheduled for March and April. Graduates and former students, who are living in small groups in widely scattered parts of the world who cannot be reached through personal solicitation and local campaigns, will be asked to make contact by mail during the month of May.
Almost all our cities which are east of the Mississippi river will be reached during March as well as the University of Kansas groups in the western stages. During April, solicitation will be started in Oklahoma and Missouri, outside of Kansas City.
In making this decision to concentrate on the campaign for a few short months, the executive committee of the Memorial Corporation took these reasons into consideration:
1. Interest which is now high in the success of the campaign will be maintained.
2. The cost of the campaign wi be minimized.
3. Chancellor Lindley and others who have been putting great energies into the memorial movement will be revived for other energies.
4. The close of the campaign will coincide with the end of the school year. The closing date gives a definite incentive for University of Kansas people to do their part without further delay.
Charles H. Gleason fa'13-'15, is a new special representative for the Memorial Corporation. Mr. Gleason has been teaching in high school at Burton, Kansas, but has already given up teaching and taken up his responsibilities for campaigns at Kirkman, Pratt and Stafford counties.

The information in the Kansan last night, stating that the department of home economics believes that two hundred dollars is the minimum amount necessary for the clothing budget of a college girl is incorrect.
Estimate Lower Figure For Budget Allowance
Last spring a group of students estimated a budget desirable for college freshman women and found the minimum should be about one hundred twenty dollars. Two hundred dollars would allow greater range and choice, but is not the minimum. A class in computer science is looking hot at the present time.

"Advertising is Merely Good Salesmanship and Thrift"
FARLEV GIVES RULES
.OF BUSINESS SUCCESS
USED MOTION PICTURES
"Surrest Way to Prevent Losses is to Open Mind to New Ideas"
Ideas"
W. H. Farley, of the National Cash Register Company of Dayton, Ohio, gave an illustrated lecture in Fraser Chapel Wednesday evening showing the extent to which we can on illustrations in conveying ideas.
Mr. Farley immediately presented the by-laws of a club, the I. S. P., to which anyone can belong if he obeys the by-laws:
1. Service without profit is charity.
2. Profit without service is crime.
3. Service without profit is business.
The lecture was a review of the work covered by the Merchants' Short Course in the last two days, a summing up of he main points by means of motion pictures.
Five essentials for good business were listed by Mr. Farley as follows: store organization, displays, advertising, personal selling, and business system. No store can possess these essentials without proper supervision, for the merchant's most immediate burden is inefficiency of sales people.
According to Mr. Farley, twenty-eight per cent of all merchants in the United States fail in business. Thirty-five per cent of these failures are due to incompetency and inexperience. Twenty-eight per cent to lack of capital.
Mr. Farley stressed the value of disributing duties among clerks and holding each clerk responsible for his specific duty. "Too many merchants try to keep all details of their business in their heads. Assign tasks according to the number and capabilities of your clerks.
The surest way to prevent losses is to open the mind to new ideas. Laziness, indifference, carelessness and small charges are leaks whose prevention is in the power of the merchant.
"Advertising is more good salesmanship and thrift," said Mr. Farley. "Advertise intelligently for a news paper advertisement is the most successful customer in his home. When the reader atts at home and reads the morning paper, your advertisement should carry him over the steps of a doorway. He desires, desire, confidence and action. If it does not hold the reader in this fashion it is a failure as an ad.
Chancellor Lindley addressed the merchants while they were at lunchon at the Commons this noon, talking on "Education and Business."

"$1200 a Year" Presents Difficulties of a Professor
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS IN PLAY
What would you do if the man who paid you twelve hundred dollars a year for teaching in a University he had endowed should bid for you to teach what you believed? This is the problem of "Twelve Hundred Dollars A Year," a play by Edna Ferber and Newman Levi, which the dramatic club will present March 13 at the Bowersock theatre.
The plot of the play hinges about he decision of the young professor who faces this problem to become a philosopher. How does the unprising results of his decision.
Factory wages do not entirely commensate for the associations of the factory district. The professor's cultured young wife does not find Mrs. tupunik's society as interesting as that if her old college friends. She can save a beautiful home on a factory uard's wards, but her old friends do not come to see it. She is cut off from her atmosphere of culture.
The professor himself achieves fame as the college professor who became a mill hand, and a leader in laboring circles. Finally an opportunity to go on a business trip in salaries come to him, and with it a commercial offer of a huge salary. What would a professor from Kansas University have done? Gone back to the old school with its beloved association for commerce and university for commercial advancement?
"Twelve Hundred Dollars a Year" will answer that question.
