BLACK PLEADS FOR TRUE AMERICANISM
Educated Men Must Take Active Part in Government to Solve Problems
MUST RESTRICT ASIATICS
Engineers Have Large Part in Reconstruction and in Future of Nation
"Are lawyers so well trained and well fitted that they alone should represent the public?" asked Major General Black at convocation this morning. General Black spoke on "Trueer Americanism," and in his address brought out the apathy of the American people toward public institutions that statistically trained men should take more interest in government.
The Engineers' Anniversary Convocation was opened by Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who explained that the students were honored for here thirty years ago, and that the celebration today is in honor of that event. Henry McCurdy made a short talk urging the students to pay their respects to our fallen heroes and the plans for the day's activities.
General Black pointed out that out of 17,546学者 in Who's Whee, Afrika and seventy-one per cent had attended college. Thirty-six percent, according to General Black, are lawyers and only seventeen percent are men of technica. "Indian Lament"...
"I am not making a plea for the
I engineering profession to organize
politically," he declared, "but I do think
that the engineer of today should take
an interest and a part in public affairs. The average technically trained
engineer must work that he neglects his government, and that should not be."
General Black spoke briefly on engineering in recent years, and declared that he did not believe that the Iraqis had a chance of driving drifts as some people had thought.
General Black touched on several of the problems which were left us by her discussion of the role that the common vote of today does not pay enough attention to these problems. He pointed out that we do not look enough to the lessons history has learned.
"Engineering is a new science but an old art," he said. "Considering the wonderful appliances that the modern man uses, we must engineer than the man of Caesar's time, who built the great Roman aqueduct. We must not be contented with what we have done but must look for what is yet to be accomplished."
According to General black, we will not find a solution to our labor and railway troubles by laws, but "Right thinking and right living is the rule." He showed that it was the duty of the educated man to direct this right thinking among other classes of people.
"In seeking a solution for these problems," he asked, "are we looking to occurrences of the past? Do we look, not at the dates and the names, but at the successes and failures? Do we pay enough attention to men?"
In closing his talk, General Black touched upon our duty to other races of people. He said that he believed in restricting immigration to some extent, but that we must stand ready to accept it and work with others in thinking and governing themselves
"A wise means of preserving our present ideals and civilization is the restriction of Aslatias," he said. Other races are so very different from the American people that a close relationship is not possible. We never realize this until he has made his residence neighbors. Among our southern neighbors the individual never knows that he is an integral part of the government, and this is one of the reasons the United States can not combine with these people in a league of nations.
"Nevertheless," he continued, "Kipling's 'White Man's Burden' is the truth, and we must strive to share that burden."
Throughout his talk, General Black touched continually upon the work of the engineer, and showed that he did much in this reconstruction period.
"The engineering profession," he concluded, "forms a greater portion of the population, and it can become a great influence in America."

ARCHITECTURAL FRAT TO BECOME NATIONAL
Alpha Kappa Chi Will Become a Temple of Scarab Organization
Alpha Kappa Chi, local professional architectural fraternity has been granted its petition to Scarab, a national architectural fraternity, and will become a temple of that organization. Scarab is a very exclusive organization, and places temples only in the best architecture schools. Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, head of the department of architecture, this recognition is a distinct honor to the University and the department of architecture.
Scarab follows the Egyptian style rather than the Greek letter, and calls its organizations temples instead of chapters. Kansas is the sixth school in the United States to be granted a university, and five being the University of Illinois, Washington University, Pennsylvania State College, Carnegie Technical Institute, and the Armour Institute of Technology at Chicago. According to Professor Goldsmith, these schools maintain some of the features of the country. The temple to be installed here will be called Abydos Temple.
Alpha Kappa Chi opened negotiations with the national fraternity about two years ago, and it is partly through this institution in the department of architecture, and who was a member of Scarab at the University of Illinois, that the petition was granted. George Chandler, president of Alpha Kappa Chi, and Mr. Wiedenmann both spoke to St. Louis to present their case.
Alpha Kappa Chi was found here in 1918, with the purpose of helping to maintain a high standard in the department of architecture. It elects its officers who have done very good work, and the roll includes eighteen members.
"I regard this as a definite recognition of the work the men here have done," said Prof. La Force Balley, "and it certainly shows how the University of Kansas is ranked as to its architectural department. Scarab has always been less willing to take on new temples than any other architecture faculty, and they also their selections with great care. I expect this to be a good drawing card for the department here, not only in bringing students to the University, but also in furnishing an incentive for high work."
"In granting a chapter to Alpha Kappa chi," said Professor Goldsmith, "the recent convention of Scarab has given a gratifying acknowledgment of the standing of the department of architecture here. The local society in securing this national honor, as the university verifies, has given evidence of the ethical standards upon which it was founded."
The department of architecture here is already a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, of which only fourteen schools in America are members. The department also does work regularly for the Beaux Arts Institute of Design of New York City, and has received many high honors in the work submitted to them for judgment.
Wyoming Prairie Dogs Victims of Illegal Booze
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 20. (By United Press.)—Wyoming prairie dogs are the latest victims of illegal booze traffic. When a shiffr' pass visited the country west of Cheyenne recent studies have shown that members of the band saw staggering prairie dogs, unable to find the "front door" to their holes. Investigation showed that several pints of whiskey had been "cached" in various prairie dogs and had been recovered by the consoles of a spring in dog-town.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB
GAVE SPRING CONCERT
Appeared in Well-Prepared Program—Finale Drew Most Applause
In a lengthy and well-prepared program of fourteen numbers, the University Glee Club gave their concert in concert at Fraser Chapel last night.
Best among all the chorus numbers,
if applauses from the audience may be
regarded as a correct sign, was the
final number consisting of a medley
of old and new K. U. songs, sung to
the accompaniment of a dozen tinkles.
Ensembles by the chorus, vocal solos, duets, and a violin solo, a pinochol and reading comprised the program.
There were few encores, the violin solo by Laura Jackman, and the pianolog by Elizabeth Burkhalter being the only ones responded to. Especially pleasing were the two Russian songs given by the chorus and the contralto solo, "Fiddle and I" by Vera Neelv.
Approximately forty members appeared on the platform. Prof. Rena Lazelle, of the School of Fine Arts, performed admirably in the capacity of conductor, and several members of the orchestra were part of the plannings of the audience for their good work in moving pianos and chairs about the stage.
K. C. DRIVE IS LAGGING
Kansas City Still to Raise Two thirds of Quota
Kansas City, Mo., April 20—Two more days remain in which to raise more than two-thirds of the Kansas City quota of the fund for the new athletic stadium, student union building, and the "Uncle Jimmy" Green memorial. Face with these discouraging faces of the Kansas City alumni of the Jayhawks aisol (so) before this morning with increased spirit determined that the Kansas spirit should not waver in the face of defeat.
The K. U. workers have been singing a catchy march time song written by George Bowles, retiring president of the Kansas City Alumni Association.
Despite the seemingly discouraging report received by United Press from Kansas City regarding the Stadium-Union drive, Hill officials of the big campaign were optimistic, and were quoted as saying that "Kansas City will come through. Just wait a few days."
Division No. 5, under General Ray Delano, won the flag for the second work on the drive. The team scored "Rock Chalks" in the lead.
Several subscriptions have been received from professional men who wrote to the mountaint in that the "studium alone will be worth that much to me."

This new School of Religion is one of the biggest things that has ever been undertaken in the way of religion. It is an inter-denominational scheme. As yet the board has not done much about the credit to be received for work done in the school, but it is the intended school and that school in time credit will be given.
The purpose of this school as given in its constitution is to "establish and maintain an institution available to the students of the University of Kanter and its broad application to the problems of humanity." In speaking of this purpose at the Monday meeting, Doctor Burdick said such a program would be very helpful, and that he might work in this kind of work at the University.
In addition to the names already given, other members of the Board of Trustees are: Prof. L. E. Sisson, Ph.D.; Prof. W. H. Jannon, Myron C. Settle, Kansas City; President S. E.

Electricals' Float, "The Development of Lighting" Big Hit; Miner's "Prospectors" Showed Great Development Since Pack Mule Days
The Annual Engineer's Day parade descended upon the campus this morning, breaking up classes with its usual efficiency, and living up to its traditions for creating laughs on and for the entire hill. Civilis, Mechanicals, Chemicals, Architects, Electricals, Miners and R. O. T. C. clashed in good-natured rivalry, and each department produced two or three very clever floats.
there would be no baseball there this season. Several hundred tickets were sold.
Dr. Allen Urges Large Attendance at McCook Field
At Manhattan recently a similar ticket was placed on sale, but at first she was not a fan of the vocation was called and the students told that unless they backed the team
The parade, led by the K. U. band, left the Engineering school soon after its scheduled time, 11 o'clock. The Junior Civils, with a close-up view of one of the most interesting houses on the hill, seen through a transit, started the floats. This was followed by a paddle squad; the Sophomore Civils float depicting railway progress; and the Freshman Civils' Dream, disclosing ideas that no engineer had ever been suspected of having, especially a freshman
Combination season baseball and track tickets have been placed on sale at the Athletic office and are being sold on the campus by the Ku Klu Klan, costing three dollars.

Trigg of Kansas City Star Speaks fo Journalism Class
"Surely, Kansas U. is not going to let the Argies bet them either in a match-up season, although it looks as though they might be going to do it," was the statement of Charles Nettles, secretary to Dr. F. C. Allen, when discussing the matchup.
"We are going to no our best to make it a clean-up day for the Aggies," Doctor Allen said this morning. "Every person that can get out should be down on McCook field two days rooting their heads off for K. U, and showing the Aggies that K. U. is on the map," he continued.
PAPER MUST HAVE POLICY
These tickets will admit to the Aigie game here Friday and Saturday. This game is the first one to be played at home by the Jayawaters this year. The team is in good condition and the $10 per ticket is to be informed.
Fred Trigg of the editorial staff of the Kansas City Star visited the department of journalism this morning, and talked to the classes in Editoria Problems and Policies, and Advertising Copy.
In his talk to the class in Editorial Policies, Mr. Trigg emphasized the policy of absolute honesty in newspaper work. "A newspaper without a policy is like an automobile without a steering gear," said Mr. Trigg. "The first requisite of all redorsal work worthy of the name is honesty."
Speaking to the classes in advertising, the veteran newspaper man said in distinguishing between the advertising and editorial sides of a newspaper, that "there is not a successful newspaper in the country which is controlled editorially by its advertising policy.
"A newspaper cannot be dishonest in its advertising policy, and honest on the editorial side." Mr. Trigg continued, "Both advertising policy and editorial standards are intertwined to ensure that newspapers are separable. The best test of a newspaper's standing in a community is through its advertising columns."
Scarlet Fever Ban in Manhattan Manhattan, April 20—The discovery of nineteen cases of scarlet fever within the last few days has hampered efforts to spread all public gatherings in Manhattan, it was announced here today.
Two floats by the Mechanicals, Illustrating "Power in Agriculture," were followed by a private still, a beer truck, down but not out, and a mining shack, "Crushhoofer 7-11." The men are seated on mechanical sections of the parade.
The Electricals led off with an electric railway engine, followed by "Tectograph Communication" up-to-date. "The Development of Light-vehicles over a妻man'e n'everything, looked like the electrician's best bid or the prize float."
The R. O. T, C. entered three floats.
The first invited the student body to "see K. U. on Wheels", not through a See-bolt; the second was a tank, just returned from some hard fighting in the Potter Lake offensive, and mounted on an unstable unit mounted on an unstable-looking Ford truck.
The Architects" "K. U. Band!" reminded some touching music for the occasion, leading the three architects' flots, "Architects House the World," "Ye Kansas Home," and the "House Beautiful."
The Miners' first entry was a pack mule that seemed in danger of losing his pack at any moment, and who knew the dangers of the spirit of the occasion. Their "Prospecting Today" looked like the makin's of a Wiedemann's Tea Room invasion, and the "Golden Brick Co." was their main asset. A legal assistance, a plausible venture.
One of the three Chemical floats showing different coal and air products, blow up just before the parade started. The remaining two, howev�, were probably made by "The Smoke Stick," made a decided hit, particularly the latter. Two perfect gas attacks were laid down by the Smoke Calmone, one on the Administration Building, and the other in the very effective, especially offensively.
The parade covered the following route: Down Indiana to 9th Street; on 9th to Vermont; up Vermont to the parade route down Massachusetts to 9th Street; back on 9th Street to Indiana, and returned to the campus on Indiana. A crowd of more than a thousand people joined the parade on its downtown route.
