THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIX
NUMBER 9
COMMENCEMENT DATE TO BE SETTLED SOON
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1922.
New Arrangement Will be Placed Before Chancellor Lindley for His Sanction
SENIORS FAVOR CHANGE
If Authorities Abide by Upper class Vote, Commencement Will Start June 2
Commencement week for the University of Kansas this year will begin on Friday, June 2, and end Monday, June 5. If plans now being perfected by the commencement committee are approved, the university city. The new arrangement will be placed before Chancellor Lindley for bjsn. sanction in the near future.
The reason for the change in dates, is with a view to aid the alumni of the University in attending the exceries. Heretofore the commencement schedule has been arranged with baccalaureate on Sunday, class day Monday, alumni on Tuesday, and commencement on Wednesday. The argument is that the alumni should be present over the week-end than break the week in two, as the former plan necessitated.
Prof. Herbert Hungerford, chairman of the committee, is in charge of the re-arrangement. A recent referendum vote of the senior class, taken by mail disclosed that the seniors favored the new plan by 357 to 15 votes. This was used only as a means of obtaining the views of the class on the proposition. For example, the senior class, Laura Harbraker, the votes have ceased to come in during the last few days, and this is probably the final count.
"The new plan has been under consideration for some time," said Professor Hungerford today. "Big universities in the United States are gradually coming to it. Ohio State Michigan, Chicago University, and Cornell have already ratified the plan. The universities are planning to conduct their 1922 graduation exercises in a like manner."
The present arrangement, with a view to the days in the week, would place Friday and Saturday as alumni days. Sunday for baccalaureate, and Monday for commencement. The Uni- day is also possible either reflect or accept the plan soon.
DECIDED ON DEBATE SUBJECT
Difficulty Experienced in Choosing a Suitable Question
The committee for setting the date will be appointed by Chancellor Lleyd and will be composed of members of the faculty.
The Engineers and the Laws and the third change in the question for their debate, yesterday afternoon. The new question as decided upon by the joint committees of the two schools was: "Resolved, that the policy of issuing tax free securities on federal securities should be abolished."
The Engineers, as before, have the negative. Try-outs will be held in the near future.
Considerable difficulty has been encountered in choosing a suitable question this year. The first question tentatively agreed upon by the committee was: "Resolved, that the United States should cancel the United States citizenship under this question was decided upon Congress passed a bill in which it was stated
that no part of the war debt should be
cancelled. We cannot afford any arre-
lations to that subject.
The second question was: "Resolved, that the United States should subside a merchant marine large enough to compete with that of any country. When the counterattack went when the counterattack on this subject had no recent date could be found and so the faculty thought a question of more recent interest should be picked and the present question was chosen.

FRIEDMAN AN ARTIST OF UNUSUAL ABILITY
Powerful Physique Gives Coming Pianist a Commanding Stage Personality
Ignaz Friedman, who appears on the University Concert Course Wednesday, February 10, is very different from his predecessor in that his powerful fram, hend set
on square shoulders, and strong personality remind one of more who would make a good blacksmith or be not designed to be a great artist.
Curiously enough, all the powerful grip and technique shown at the piano by Mr. Friedman, were taught to him by a woman, Madame Grawinska, and to her he attributes the foundation of his tremendous success as a pianist, although the famous pedagogy Leeschetky comes in for no small credit. Mr. Friedman's approach to the piano is more that the artist should learn to bench, tools,曲琴 or harp have no means of frightening him, and this quiet approach is especially appreciated by the audience through the fact that Mr. Friedman does not rely on making grimmaces at the audience, but plays with strong feeling and as a man who believes in his work.

"Present Restrictions Are Protection to Scholarship." Says Pan-Hellenic
W.S.G.A.WILL DECIDE DATE RULE TONIGHT
MAY KEEP PRESENT RULE
Abolishing Rule May Harm Reputation of the University, Some Say
"Keep the present date rule," it now the concern of opinion in all women's Greek letter organizations; and this decision, according to a member of Pan Hellenic, will in all probability be the permanent stand taken by that body in its next meeting when the movement comes up for ratification. The problem of the adoption of a system with scholar-3up imitations that abolishes the date rule has, according to many, been gaining great favor in Greece, the highest faculty representative body of society women, recently, in which the matter was discussed, the present date rule was indersed.
Among the factors arguing for the date rule was the absence of a high enough standard of scholarship to permit unrestricted dating, which would tell especially on the work of a scholar. The formal line with this, that modification of the present rule should be made in the way of senior privileges. This most
education will also be induced in the stand of Pan Hellenic. Great weights was given the fact that the present restrictions are also a protection of the stand.
scholarship, as week night dating would disturb others in the house wishing to study unless restrictions were made by individual houses.
It is also thought that the abolishing of date rules would do harm to the reputation of the University. But this matter is to come up before W. S. G. A. tonight before final settlement.
"I find the date rule a great protector of my time and other people," said one Fan Hellenic number. "It takes away all possibility of accruing any legal liability for study and the men are not under obligations to call during the week."

MEETING OF WOMEN DISCUSSED NEW HALL
Dean Blitz Outlined Pian for Furnishing Henley Hall
MERCHANTS CONTRIBUTED
New Home of Y. W, C. A. to be Social Center for University Women
"Henry Hall, the new social center, provides one of the biggest opportunities for women that is found in any college of which I know," said Dean Anne Dudley Blitz in addressing a convention of women of the University of Pennsylvania yesterday in Emory Chapel to discuss the furnishing of Henley Hall.
Dean Biltz, who is chairman of the furnishing committee, then told of the plans that have been made for the new apartments, downstairs rooms are to be furnished as living rooms, where the women may meet their friends. There will be a room which will be furnished so that they can relax and socialize; it will also serve for other purposes.
The Y. W. C. A. office and the rooms of Miss Ora Lee Risk, W. Y. C. A. secretary, will be on the second floor. Mrs. Lloyd Stanley, who will act as chaperone, will also occupy a room on this floor. The room will be fitted with tables, chairs and couches and will be used as committee rooms. For the present the rooms on the third floor will be rented, but it is hoped that at some future time these may also be used by the women.
The kitchen, on the first floor, is to be fitted with a large number of cooking utensils of various sizes. This
kitchen can be used by the women whenever they want to cook, the only dishes. The basement is fitted for a laundry and the women may bring their laundry work here to do it. It is planned to also arrange a place where the women may shampoo their hair there, as there is a large supply of soft water.
A large number of gifts have been given by business men and others interested in the house to aid in the care of their beloved pet, the rosified pictures from her collection, the jeweler gave a silver tea service and another a set of flat silver. The ental of a piano has been given for a birthday present, and several records are another gift.
Dean Blitz closed her address by saying: "Henley Hall is a gift to the W, Y. C. A. for every woman in the University, and we hope that the tradition soon will be that no introductions are needed inside this home."
