K. U. COACH SUGGESTS BASKETBALL CHANGES
Dr. F.C. Allen Has Some Recommendations for Rules Committee
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1922.
IN FAVOR OF FREE THROW
But Would Allow Players to Take Turns in Tossing Technical Foul Goals
Dr. Forrest C. Allen announced this morning that he had several changes in basketball rules to recommend to the National Intercollegiate Rules Committee when that body met in the spring. Much sentiment has been expressed favoring the abolition of the player penalty. Allen does not favor this change.
"The spirit of the free throw rule is to cut down the number of foils and keep the game clean," declared Dr. Allen. "An abolition of this method of scoring will have a tenfold effect on the fouls. The free throw gives the man thus fouled a chance to better his scoring record by the free throw.
"I am going to suggest that on technical fouls, the players take turns in tossing the ball. But on personal fouls, the man who is fouled shall throw. Thus the man hinder gets the opportunity to make a score that he otherwise might have made had he not be fouled. The first personal foul a player makes, the opposing player gets one shot. On the second personal foul called on a player, the opposing team gets two free throws for personal fouls given the man fouled three liberty tosses, but the fourth foul will disqualify the player and the other team only gets one trial at a free basket, as the team will be penalized enough by the loss of a player.
"By this rule the personal fouls would be cut down materially and the man hindered would have the opportunity to better his individual re-
The Kansas Coach also suggested that the free throw line be moved back in case the players became too adept in throwing from the line at the present distance of 13 feet and 9 inches. He remarked that the old rules placed the free toss line 20 feet from the basket.
Several Articles Written by K. U. Professors
NEW BULLETIN OFF PRESS
The Kansas basketball mentor expressed the hope that the referee would be compelled to stand on the outside when throwing up ball near the side lines. After a hold ball near the sidelines, a prominent MVP insists on standing on the inside thus hindering the play from the tip-off.
A new volume of the Science Bulletin, issued by men of the various science departments of the University has just been received from the State Printer'. Prof. W. J. Baumpartner is managing editor of this publication.
Several of the articles in this issue were contributed by members of the faculty. Prof. E. B. Stouffer contributed a mathematical paper. Questions concerning rainfall are discussed by the faculty. The department of astronomy, H. T. Martin, of the Museum, discusses the fossil fishes discovered in Kansas.
Three former students also have articles. Two papers on fossil snail shells are by Dallas Hanna. Rupert Peters contributed a paper explaining the moisture requirements of germinating seeds. Miss Martha Bays, a former student of bacteriology, has an article on the study of bacteriology.
Papers are now being received for another volume which the committee hopes to have published in June or July.

IGNAZ FRIEDMAN
retest virtuosus of the pianoforte Musicians and critics in the United states were quick to agree that with i.e. coeurcesci of Europe and South
America, Friedman is the fourth and last of the noble cycle of living Polish pianists. Musical history will record the artists of Poland as the greatest quartet of the pianoforte ever produced at one time by one country. The names of the mighty to be conjured with are Paderewski, de Pachmann, Holmman, and finally Friedman. Composer, scholar, poet, pianist, Friedman in every way measures up to his celebrated colleagues.

TEACHERS JUDGED BY GRADES
School Boards Ask for Good Looking Teachers
Students of the university who expect to teach next year met yesterday in room 105 Green Hall, where they were instructed as to the method of teaching. Prof. W. H. Johnson, head of the University Teachers' Appointment Bureau, explained the University system of finding places for new teachers, and gave detailed instructions for the teachers to blank out the blanks in the Announcement Office.
Dr. R. A. Kent, dean of the School of Education, made a short talk, giving some valuable tips to prospective teachers. He said that those things upon which students are judged, with reference to probable teaching ability, are University grades, character, and personal appearance.
In his own experience, the dean said, University grades were the best index of probable teaching success in cases where the applicant was not personally known to the superintendent or the school board. The university would not recommend anyone who was not of good moral character, continued Dr. Kent. School boards often asked for "good looking teacher" and believed they were doing against too much color on the face, and against certain styles of dress which are prevalent among university women.

RAPS BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Indian Student Says His Country is Exploited by England
In the interests of Miss Burmann's 4:30 literature section, Solomon Ramalingam, c25, of Madras, India, spoke on the subject, "India at the Time of Robert Clive," and "The India of Today."
Mr. Ramalingam explained briefly the many religious sects of his country and their origin. He also spoke of the suppression of learning by the British in his country. "A certain fee which the poorer classes are unable to pay, is charged for the attendance to any of the elementary schools. Only the upper and middle classes get any education at all. The millions of peasants are forced to remain in ignorance."
At the close of the talk, Ramalungam displayed to the class, a cloth of fine texture, which resembles our silks, manufactured by hand by his people in thousand yard lots yearly. It is exported to England and brings foreign customers at the price the British charge the Indians for English products.
Ramalingam says that the British government, by keeping the people in ignorance, are able to rule them and exploit their country in any way they wish. "But," he says, "My people are learning, and sooner or later, they will throw off the yoke even as Ireland has done."
"From all this," said Ramalingam, "my people have started a movement to free themselves, and they will be successful."

"In Flanders Field" Sung as a Memorial Tribute to K. U.
The University Glee Clubs united last night in giving a well balanced program before a large and appreciative audience at the Bowersock Theatre. Songs by both Glee Clubs, course leaders, all received all well received by the audience.
Short sketches of singing, dancing and comedy were given between the appearances of the Glee Clubs, and these gave the final touch to a welltrained and finished production and a good program. "A Little Waltz and Then," given by Lucy Kemper and Luclie O'Rear, a clever singer and dancing act was very well received. Miss Kemper's vivacious interpretative dancing was one of the brightest spots of the entire entertainment.
“Harmony Land” by the Men’s Quartet featured many brilliant chords and close harmony. The “company” part of Haines’ act, consisting of a part of his father, the Men’s Glee Club, was omitted because of the with Mr. Lucas at the piano.
The audience was requested to refrain from applauding "In Flanders Fields" which was sung by the Men's Glee Club in memory of all K. U. men and women who lost their lives in the great war. At the close of the ovum, "the Blue" was sung by both Glee Clubs accompanied by the guidance.
"Dixie Dreams" with a southern setting and featuring a dance by Misa Marriote Kidwell was well done and beautiful. "Harry" comedy and dancing skirt, made a second appearance by the demands of the audience. "We Three" by Helen Elfeldt, Eleanor Hackney and Danielle Beaver, with Mr. Lucas at the plains.
Much credit should be given to Dean H. L, Butler and Prof. Rena Lazelle, as well as to the management of the concert for its complete success, which, according to the lobby conversation, was one of the best ever given by these organizations. The Phi Mu Alphas orchestra, which furnished the incidental music, aided materially in the success of the evening.
"TEACHER PUBLIC SERVANT"
Says Dean Kent, in address to Prospective Pedagogs
"The teacher is a public servant, not merely an individual living to himself," said Dean R. A. Kent, of the University of Texas to prospective teachers yesterday in Green Hall. "Therefore if a teacher does not desire to comply with the standards set by the community in general, he must complain, but leave the profession."
"Definite requirements of a good teacher can not be accurately defined," said Mr Kent, "for on rare occasions an excellent student may be an absorbed student. But the safest single index in choice of a teacher is scholarship."
The University does not issue teachers' certificates. It issues the University Teachers' Diploma when certain specific requirements are met. The State Board of Education to undergraduate students who have completed sixty hours of college credit, including General Psychology and six hours of education. These certificates are valid for a period of three years in elementary and junior high schools. Students who submit 120 hours of credit, include cathetic
