THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Traditional Animosity Between Engineers and Laws Explained By Differences In Profession
Why can't the laws and engineers be friends? Every university student knows that this, even if possible, is not in the least probable. Such a burden of responsibility sessions does not exist, however, without a reason; and what is the reason?
When one stops to consider the vast differences in the two types of professions he is digging at the base of the existing spirit. The engineer in an office converges with the world with the combined labor of his hands and the faculties of a brain trained to tackle hard propositions. The law with white collar, carefully adjusted tie, and a brain full of technicalises goes out to set tables with furniture's worlds, with phrases prescribed by law to suit the occasion.
K. U. laws and engineers are no exception to the rule. The fight has been steady and gradually growing stronger.
The formal outbreak between the two schools occurred in the fall of 1914. The laws were possessed with the spirit of adventure decided that they were worthy of note, and that freshman engineers should acknowledge their superiority through their caps as passed by Green and that engineers didn't exactly seem fitting to some of the stalwart engineers, but being freshmen they usually compiled; if not they were dullly scaffled with paddles.
At last the spirit of the engineers came forth to assert itself and has been doing so ever since. The outbreak came suddenly and one day during classes the law said itself being raised a vicious band. It was only after the started laws had received punishment and escaped that Uncle Jimmy
JOURNALISM CONTEST WILL CLOSE APRIL
All Kansas High School News papers Are Urged to Send in Editorials
A letter is being sent out today to all the high school newspapers of the state urging them to send in editorial and news stories for the contest which the department of journalism holds each year. The contest will close April 1, 1922. The contest follows the plan of the famous Fulitzer awards for American newspapers which rather than judging the whole paper chooses, for example the best publicity of certain types or the most publicity management in a campaign. There are 110 high school papers in the state of Ohio of whom they have already responded and sent in articles and papers to enter the contest.
The purpose of the awards is to encourage good work in writing, by recognizing it publicly. The awards will be made by the faculty of the department of journalism assisted by a committee of men and women in the profession of journalism. The winning articles will be published by the pariment. Following are the four divisions of the contest for which any high school newspaper in the state may compete for the award:
Second: For the best editorial article printed in a Kansas High School paper on the subject, "Why Go to College?"
Third: For the best record of service to a High School by the paper of that school. The award will be made both on the evidence as to the service and on the excellence of the report, which will be written by a member of the staff.
First: For the best example of a reporter's work printed in a Kansas High School paper. The stories submitted will be weighted as to accuracy, terness, completeness, interest, news form, etc.
Fourth: For the best report of a circulation campaign for a High School paper, Originality and enterprise manifest in the methods used in the campaign as well last location of the campaign be considered in making this award.
Announces Marriage Of University Couple
The announcement of the marriage Saturday of Marquis "Tubby" Huffman and Pay L. Mayer was received with surprise by most of the acquaintances of the couple. They are both members of the freshman class of the university.
The couple were married by Mrs. Minnie Mimmie Huffman, mother of the groom, who is an orphaned minister of the United Brethren Church. According to their present plans they intend to "finish this semester in the University."
Green persuaded the Engineers return to their own quarters.
Mrs. Fulton of Gaines City is visit ing her daughter, Evelyn Fulton fa25, this week.
This episode did not satisfy the avenging spirit of the engineers and when the first big snow came and they were in search of sport it hurt them. They were in support of the laws to a snow fight. As it is recorded in history the laws did not accept the challenge; but why it is not known. Instead the laws thought of a more tactful way of subduing them, and they became aware of the challenge. The challenge was immediately accepted, and both sides waxed enthusiastic. The engineers had the opportunity of proving that not laws alone can put up a convincing argument, and they proved it satisfactorily to the judges if not to the laws.
For two years the engineers fought for the loving cup and won, but their defeat in 1921 only makes the conquest stronger.
This fall a new method of inflicting defeat upon one or the other side was hit upon, and a struggle was held gridiron. The laws won the victory.
Every defiant deepens the animosity already existing, and the fight is still on. Another debate will occur soon.
An engineer remarked yesterday that it was as good as won, and a law was overheard saying that their debate team this year positively could not be beaten, hence victory for both sides assured. Perhaps a victory will terminate the fight, and perhaps it won't; but it's quite certain that nothing else will. It seems quite probable that law enforcement operations of laws and engineers will carry on the good fight in K. U. and elsewhere.

Y. M. C. A. to be Central Office With Branches Over City
Burton C. Root, c08, has accepted the offer of the Board of Community Welfare of the city of Lawrence to provide a service for the community service work here.
The purpose of the community service project is not to take the place of the organizations already operating in the city, but to utilize the facilities of the city for them. The gymnasiums in the Y. M. C. A., Cordney, McAllester, Lincoln and Manual Training schools will be used as recreation centers over the

He is expected to arrive in Lawrence within a month providing he can arrange to be his contact under which he is now working.
College Girls Don't Admire Regulations
Many modern college women believe that the existing system of student regulation and restriction intrigues upon their natural rights.
According to the Daily Northwestern, the college women of the 60's had a real cause of complaint. In those days Northwestern University was known as the Northwestern Female College and it consisted of one building and a log cabin. All rooms were subject to daily inspection and a prize offered for the nuestet and a reprimand for the opposite type. Every room had a door, an entrance part of the day daring under faculty inspection. Thursday night they met and were talked to on etiquette. More than this, all met on Sunday night to read poems. Instead of rising in the morning and dressing in a warm room, each room was equipped with a stove and fires had to be built.
This was the way our mothers went to college. The present system $_{\mathrm{m}}$ is a slight improvement, anyway.

BREHM WRITES HIS THIRD PRIZE PLAY
"A Regular Prince" Wins the $50 Prize Offered by the Dramatic Club
"A Regular Prince" is the title of the play chosen by the senior prize play committee for this year. The play was written by William Bremon, a senior engineer, who for the third year has won the $60 prized award on the Dramatic Club for the best play written by a student of the University.
Mr. Brehm won his first prize with the play, "It's a Great Life," which was considered a success by all who attended. Last year "The Mechanical Man" by Mr. Brehm took first honors and this year "A Regular Prince" is expected to surpass any former play Mr. Brehm has written.
"A Regular Prince" is a typical college play full of student life and interests. Comedy features a great variety of characters, about a comical circumstance.
The prize play committee, a joint representation from the senior class and the Dramatic Club, consists of Gus Lasterbier, chairman, Frenoe Boy, Martha Rowe, and Arthur MacMurray also assisted the committee in their selection.
