JAYHAWKER DEFICITS ARE NOW BEING MET
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, HURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1922
Last Years Printers Have Lowered Their Bill Several Hundred Dollars
SECURED BEST COUNSEL
Advice of Other Universities Were Sought as to Method of Annual Management
Disposing of last year's deficit, due largely to lack of supervision, and building a constructive plan whereby a staff supervision of contracts and expenses and the guarding against deficits in the future are the two main problems which have confronted the Jayhawk advisory committee.
This committee has met with fine co-operation in solving the problems, concurring the first, the committee gives this report. In an effort to help meet the deficit, last year's business manager and editor of the Jaybawker have volunteered to pay in about $1,000.
A letter received by Dean Dyer this morning states that the printing bill will be reduced several hundred dollars. Other sources to make up the deficit are canvassed and eventually all of it will be cared for.
The second problem was met by sending a number of questionnaires to all of the larger universities, asking their suggestions for the editing of an annual. Forty-five have been returned and more are expected.
"We have secured the best counsel in the country on the publication of University annuals," said Dean Dyer today.
In twenty-three of the schools the book is published by the junior class, some of which are Nobraska, Missouri, Chicago, Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana. The annuals are published in eight schools by the senior class. Michigan is the only large school in the western conference to publish its annual book. It is a junior class and K. S. A. C. is the only school west of the Mississippi vontorette the annual published by the senior class.

LEGION BLOWOUT WAS A HOWLING SUCCESS
Boxing, Singing, Music, and Dancing Were Features of Public Entertainment
Captain McLean's doughty boxers from the State Industrial School at Torreya mixed it up last night in some lively bouts at the big free public entertainment put on by Eli Farro Deroye Post of the American Legion dominated by more than one hundred "live" Legionnaires from Torreya Posts.
Beside the young boxers, the Topekans brought with them a bugle and drum corps and a squad of comrades. The affair started with a parade on Massachusetts street at 7:15 o'clock. After this, the Topekans helped initiate recruits secured for members. The ritual adopted at the National Convention at Kansas City was used for the initiation.
At 8:30 o'clock the public entertainment began. The Topeka entertainers--twenty in number--sang songs familiar to the ears of every A. E. F. veteran, and the floors of the hall hush with kuckooh boy applause. The bugle and drum corps played all the familiar calls that once caused profane profanity. However, these seemed to sound good to the ex-service men last night, judging by their applause and mischief with which they were received. The boxers then put on their part of the program. They ended with the utty royal and several selections by heir band.
Installation officers was made by general Wilder S. Metcalf, state commander of the Logion. He also gave short talk.
A dance that began at 10 o'clock and lasted until 11:45 was the final feature of the evening.
All the entertainment was applauded and well received by townpeople who witnessed it. Like affairs will probably be given every year hence, police officers say. They were well prepared with the success of his affair.
iREEN BUG DAMAGE POSSIBI
Kansas Leads Way in Effort to Combat Grain Pest
Weather conditions for the next few weeks are going to have much to do with whether or not the green bug will cause great damage to Kansasheet according to S. J. Hunter, state historian, at the University.
Reports to Professor Hunter and to the entomologists at the state agricultural college indicate small colonies of the green bug in widely separated sections of the state and continuation of mild weather will permit an increase in colony numbers. Already some damage is being done in the southern part of the state.
Efforts to find a means of combating the green bug are to be made by a group of states, working in co-operation with universities and investigators for the Bureau of Entology, at Washington. The plan for co-operation resulted from a meeting if entomologists called by the Kan. governors and genists at Toronto in December.
The states interested are Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
Dr. H. P. Cady of the department of chemistry was placed under quarantine yesterday on account of his daughter Helen having taken diptheria. For this reason Prof. H. M. Elsevy, of that department, made the talk Doctor Cady was going to make on Liquid Air, at El Dorado. While in El Dorado, Professor Elsey also spoke to the Rotary Club.

Jody Godex as to the terms of the
Vigna-French alliance were the

Galveston, Texas, Jan. 12—Any move on the port of Boston or any other Atlantic port, to disturb grain rate arrangements will be resisted by Galveston shipping port interests. An effort on the port of Boston to bring about a diversion of grain traffic to give the Massachusetts port a larger share of the country's export trade, will start a big fight.
Although the sophomore class seems to have the edge as play writers of the University, Mr. Lauterbach thinks that the senior class should be able to put up some strong arguments for themselves this year.
In 1916 and 1917, Alton Gumbiner won the prize with "Copping the Granes," and "If I Were Dean." In 1918, Harold Lylet's play, "Fifty-Fifty" was presented. In 1919, Ed Patons, a sophomore in the School of Medicine, won with the play, "Oh Shout!" Last year, William Cohen took advantage, to look away with "It's a Great Life," a play having football for its central theme and built around the "Put K. U. First" movement.

FILIPINO CUSTOMS DISCUSSED
Miss de Castro Tells of Woman's Position in Philippines
Miss Martina de Castro, who recently arrived from the Philippine Islands to take up her work as a student here, spoke today before the Women's Forum of the University of Kansas concerning the changed life
According to Miss de Castro, the Filipino woman of ten years ago was one confined to household duties, living a life of seclusion, dependent and allowed to go nowhere without a proper escort. Never was she seen alone in public, even in religious gatherings, but rather ranged by her parents and her farest outlook on life, and the world was a happy home.
Today, however, Miss de Castro said, the Filipina woman has come out of her seclusion, and is stepping forward to take her place among the other women of the world. She has taken her place among men--doctors, lawyers, business men, all of these. But she has not been greatly impressed by the pressures she stresses. She is virtuous, romantic and faithful. And greatest of her virtues is her faithfulness to her husband and home.
Miss de Castro described the home of the Filipina as a busy one, especially for the father, who is expected to support besides his wife and children, all the unmarried families. Such families, often total fifteen, she said. But the mother, assisted by many servants, manages the home.
Miss de Castro has been in this country only a short time, having arrived last D-ember. Her home is in Natalite, P. L., a northern prefecture.

GOOD GRADES MEAN SUCCESS
Survey of Grads Indicates Relation of Grades to Life
With the help of people who know the graduates of the Kansas State Agricultural College, a list of 150 names has been selected for study of the predictive value of scholastic markings. This list was divided into three groups. The first list was made up of those who have been highly successful in each their own vocation; the second of those who have been less successful; and the third of those who are ranked as low the average. All of these graduates have been out of college ten years or more.
The scholastic marks given to these 150 students, during their four years in college were then gathered and tabulated. The result showed that the students who were successful, there were no failures made in college work. In the fifty who are of the second list, there were seven failures made, and in the third group, thirteen. The three following have been made from this data.
1. If 75 per cent or more of a K. S. A. C. graduate's scholastic marks are E's and G's he will be highly successful in his life work.
2. If 75 per cent or more of a K, A. C. graduate's scholastic marks are M's and P's, he will make an average success in his life work.
3. If 75 per cent or more of a K, A. C. graduate's scholastic marks are P's and F's he will rank below the averages in his life work.
