Former Minister to China Tells of Effect of Arms Conference on Far East
NO DIVISION OF REPUBLIC
NUMBER 98
"Greatest Effect on Japan's Interest in Shantung," Said Doctor Reinsch
Dr. Paul S. Reinsch, former American Minister to China, spoke today on "The Effect of the Washington On the Far East," in Frasher Hall.
"In our day the Chinese are organizing from the bottom up for joint effort in improving their country," said Doctor Reinach this afternoon. "They have associations for industry and commerce, good roads, improved farming, and before all, education. These associations have their central headquarters when黎原 were present in the United States during the Conference. In China the people are everything, the government is nothing."
"China is in a way like the United States, that she has the same continental outlook. She is now in resources, though old in civilization; young in politics, though naturel in social experience. She comes from a different source, but she seeks the same as we have. China is really soon to be as modernized as her more developed sisters.
"In respect to her social and industrial life China may well be called the soundest and most stable society in the world. It is only with political organization that she still has trouble. You might say, what does this great country need to change to be a world and the world? The answer would be an age long civilization in which all forms of human fellowship have been tried and tasted. China had large cities while our ancestors were still in surgery, but she is an easy going country with love for her work and always beautifully done regardless of time.
"China's life is more dramatic; it is equable and full of common sense. China holds many large ceremonial processes which mark great days of preparation and pleasure for the whole country. Time is secondary to beauty and art; therefore you can see why China does not have such widely developed resources as she might have had she been more like our country.
China has a great heritage to transmit to the world of the future. The gospel of work and its blessings, the gospel of beauty, the gospel of just proportion in construction, art and conduct, of an inward fairness and equity by which all social relations are controlled, the gospel of happiness and confidence and confidence that comes when the bonds of human fellowship with all our neighbors are kept ever strong.
Dr. Reinsch said the greatest effect on China was in reducing Japan's "special interest" in Shanxi and in reducing their influence against the acquisition by any power of special economic interest in any part of China. The division of China is thus made impossible and these forces to work out their own problems.
Dr. Reinsch is now practicing law in Washington, D. C. He represents the Chinese government and other foreign countries in their controversies over here. He has just published a book on his six years in China entitled, "American Diplomat in China."
Dr. Reinch will speak to the students in Iowa University, Wisconsin University, and the University of Illinois before returning to Washington, D.C., where he will attend Fork Club of Kansas City, a club of professional and business men.

There Will Be No Undergraduate Class Sections in 1922 Jawhawk
There will be no undergraduate class sections in the 1922 Jayhawk. The Senior class will be the only one to have its section.
At the start the Jayhawker management stated that a certain number of glasses from each of the undergraduate classes would be necessary to assure their class sections, and it is because the required number has gone down so far that the classes that they now find themselves without their sections.
At the Junior class meeting yesterday afternoon, the Juniors decided that they were very well satisfied to do without a section, if the book should be made a strictly Senior publication, without any of the undergraduate classes having sections. Capstone courses must rather make it a Senior publication, since he felt it added dignity to the book.
"Any undergraduates who have already turned in their gloses and checks will have them returned by their teacher. Bern, business manager, last night."
According to the Jayhawker management, the Senior section will be especially distinctive. There will be only six pictures on each page, and no photos of the artist of the Southernwestern Engraving Company, expressly for the 1922 Jayhawkner. "In other words we are not going to have a stock panel used in the mold with said Cap. The engraving alone for the Senior section, will cost $800.
SENIOR CAKE WALK TONIGHT
"A great number of people came in to reserve space for their individual or organization glasses today," said Capp. "Next Thursday, February 23, will be the last day that glasses can come in."
Doors Thrown Open to Entire School
The annual Senior Cake Walk will be given tonight at F. A. U. Hall. The party has been planned on a strictly non-profit basis. It will be a one o'clock party with Gorton Sauner's seven piece orchestra.
Floyd Estep, of Kansas City, will be featured on clarinet and saxophone. Both Estep and Clyde Lucas have played with orchestras in New York and Tennessee.
"The party was originally planned for seniors only and was held open for the plan until Monday," said Gordon Saumferts. "It was then found that the seniors did not buy enough tickets ahead to make the party pay out so the Cake Walk was thrown open to the entire school."
Tickets will be on sale at the door.

K. U.-M. U. DEBATE TO BE HELD MARCH 29
Kansas Industrial Court Plan to Be the Subject for the Discussion
The K. U.-M. U, debate to be held at Kansas City, March 29, is a decided departure from the usual practice of the two schools in debating. The Oxford plan of a no decision contest will be followed and the debate will be held at the Grand Avenue Temple.
The no decision method of debating is becoming quite popular among the eastern colleges and the big ten have adopted it in many instances for their debates. Professor Shim, who is in charge of K. U. debating states that it is an advantage to the debater in that it is the same type of work that he would have in public life in talking to a popular audience. This debate has made the situation that debates do not accomplish anything because the effort is made to get the judges' decision regardless of the merit of the question.
Tood Woodbury is president of the K. U. alumni at Kansas City estimates that the audience will be at least 2,000. The question for debate is: "The Kansas Industrial Court as a plan for industrial disputes." Professor Shinn says that the question will draw a large audience because it is too large to be handled in Kansas in the next election and that it is causing much national comment.
This debate will be the twenty-third annual contest between Kansas and Missouri. In former debates Kansas has won eleven decisions and Missouri eleven. Professor Shinn coached both agreed that about the only benefit that has been derived from these debates is the training to the debaters and the decided that the no decision contest would be of greater value. Professor Shinn added that if this plan proves satisfactory this year it will likely become a permanent practice and if that is the case, a question will be made to select a question of vital interest to the public.
After the formal debate is finished,
the discussion will be stated to the
chairman and he will assign them to
the side in whose field they belong.
The men on the Kansas debating team are Clarence Harvey, Forest Rogers, and Frank Smell.
K. C. AD CLUBS ENTERTAIN
Professor Flint and Students of Advertising Invited
Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of Journalism, has received an invitation from the advertising clubs of Kansas City to bring five students of advertising to a luncheon at the hotel Muelbach, Monday, March 8. After the luncheon the students will take charge of the program. These people will make the trip with Pro-
gressive Health and Adventure Amenum Rumberge, George Garey, Mary Smith, and Ted Hudson. The general nature of the program will be to explain how advertising is studied at the University.
In connection with this it is interesting to know that three years ago Professor Flint made a similar trip to a luncheon of these same clubs with six advertising students; all of the six who went that time are in advertising work or married to advertisers.

Report That Art Treasure May Be Taken From University Unfounded
TO HAVE NEW LOCATION
Building of New Library Makes Spooner the Logical Home
The half million dollar Thayer art collection will not be taken from the University of Kansas. Dean F. J. Kelly, in denying the truth of several reports that the奶奶, W. B. Thayer, owner of the collection, had threatened to remove the collection, said that she had merely requested that the collection be given a more adequate and accessible place for exhibition of the artwork of the university administration Building, where it has been for several years.
The Thayer collection was given the University on the condition that it would be housed properly. With the scarcity of buildings, the third floor of the Administration Building, although unsatisfactory, has been the best available location. But now that a new library is assured, Mrs. Thayer has attempted, through Chancellor Robert McNaughton, a library building for the valuable collection of paintings, draperies, porcelains, and other subjects.
The old library building would not, however, contain the Thayer exhibit alone, but would be used as a museum for all the objects of art that the University possesses. Gov. Henry J. Allen had a conference Monday with Mr. R. L. Gamble, state architect, to determine what steps would be taken to convert the old building into an art museum. However, there has been no delineate decision to take this course. We are looking at a show he found for the exhibit, it is felt, because the construction which will begin on the Administration Building will result in great inconvenience in keeping it on the third floor.
Dean F. J. Kelly declares himself strongly in favor of the art museum. "I think we might be a fine thing," said Dean Kelly. "to have at the entrance of our gallery, where I present one with its line collection of natural subjects, and directly across from it, a museum of matchless objects of art." The two museums would portray the two sides of University life, a cultural, and on the other, the aesthetic.
UNION BUILDING FOR WOMEN
U. of Michigan Starting $100.000 Campaign for Building
The Alumnae Council of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan has announced a campaign for the purpose of raising a fund of $1,000,000 for the construction and endowment of a building in Ann which will be the center for the activities of women students and alumnaes.
This building is to be called the University of Michigan League and will correspond to the University of Michigan Union, which is for the men students and alumni. The Michigan Union has been one of the most successful of any university as a place for gatherings of the men and the utilization of student spirit and has a model for many university unions.
The amount for the construction of the University of Michigan League is $750,000 and the remaining $250,000 to serve as an endowment fund. There are 1000 women in the University of Michigan to be served by such a building.
While on his eastern trip, Chancellor E. H. Lindley will on Wednesday visit and stav in the University of Michigan Union, Chancellor Lindley is soaking in Chicago, and Cleveland to K. U. alumni in the interests of the K. U. Memorial drive which includes our union building.

"The Bat" Will Re-appear At Bowersock Wednesday
"The Bat" dramatic hit of the year is to appear at the Bowersock tomorrow night. This is the second appearance of this play in Lawrence and it will be another saw last season's production "it makes you forget you are on earth."
"The Bat" was written by Mary Roberts Rhinehart and Avery Hopwood. It has played a year in New York and is still playing. It also has won the State Championship, an unusual achievement for Chicago, an unusual play in that city.
"The Bat" has a universal appeal. It is a mystery story that fairly teems with thrills beside being dramatic to the extreme. An absorbing love story runs through the play and there are many moments when bits of comedy are so funny that they become almost façial.
At a meeting of the junior class yesterday ways and means were discussed for wiping out the deficit remaining from the Soph Hop last year. According to the rules it is necessary that classes forfeit their rights to have the annual class functions if there is any debt which the class incurred the preceding year and has been held there, so they be held Thursday afternoon at which time a definite plan will be submitted.
