KANSAS CITY KANSAN LAUDS STADIUM-UNION
Week
Editorial Gives Causes for Big Campaign Next Week
An editorial recently appearing in the new "Kansas City Kansas" heralds the approach of the Stadium-Union Drive which will be put on in Kansas City, Kansas, next week, with the brief follow-up简历 of the course offered, design and presentation to students and alumni of K. U. who live in that city;
"On Monday, April 18, Kansas residing in Kansas City will be asked to respond to the needs of the state university when a drive will be started here to give this city an opportunity to share in the $1,000,000 drive for a stadium and students' union building at Kansas university in Lawrence.
Several hundred students of the Kansas University reside in this city. Many former students, as well as many prospectus students, also reside
Kansas university is now standing on the threshold of great improvements and a stadium and students' union building are greatly needed to accommodate the increased enrollment. The crowds at such football games as Missouri and Kansas, and Nebraska and Kansas, demonstrate better than one could put into practice. The benefits that would be derived from a union building to the students are too numerous to mention.
"To keep up the pace set by other universities it is of vital importance that K. U. secure both of these improvements at the earliest possible moment." City, the leading city of the state, be asked to do its part in such a drive.
"Kansas University has become a decided factor in the educational life of the state and is growing by leaps and bounds. To meet this growth a students' union building and parking lot at 18 Kansas City can do its share. Let's go and get behind K, U, the home of the Jay-hawkers."

Y. W. Budget Committee Submits Next Year Plan
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LARWENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 15. 1921
The Budget Committee of the Y, W. C, A. met last night, following a meeting of the first cabinet, to discuss the apportionment of the Y. W. C, A. budget for the coming year. The proposed plan will be presented to the Cabinet of Advisors and the Cabinet for approval before it becomes effective.
The total amount to be apportioned has not been changed since last year. An attempt to increase it from $3000 was defeated by the Driveium device.
The department of entomology has been working on the extermination of the alfalfa louse in the southeastern part of the state for the past several weeks. This new pest was found while the department was making incinerator fires at some properties, the green bug has been doing so much damage. According to Prof. Paul Lawson, the alfalfa louse is very common in eastern and southeastern Kansas, and the unusually mild winter this year has occasioned a very rapid multiplication of the insect. The damage which it has done is tremendous.
Inree Methods Have Been Tried By Professor Lawson With Good Results
THE ALFALFA LOUSE CAN BE DESTROYED
"It is positive that practically the entire crop of the first cutting is entirely ruined and it is very possible, that much of the old crop will be exterminated. As yet the research workers do not know whether the damage done to the old roots will be very serious or not. Most are being worked out in the counties infected by the alfalfa," said Mr. Lawson.
In one county where Professors Lawson was working, hundreds of acres of the first crop were killed out by the work of this house.
Three successful methods of control have been tried and the results are encouraging. The fungus disease which normally controls the alfalfa insect is in some sections now entirely controlling the aphids and it fields. We can operate in most fields. Warm weather advances the work of the fungus.
A second method is to spray the infieldested fields with nicotine sulphate. This kills the lice within a few minutes. The success of this procedure has proven satisfactory and efficient in response of the operation is very great.
The third and most popular method is mowing the alfalfa, lightly disking it, and then giving it a thorough harrowing. After a treatment like this, the "buns" are mashed or rolled into clumps. These highly recommend the last method because it thoroughly destroys the insect.
UNUSUAL FEATURES AT HOF
Good Eats and Special Lighting Are Important Features

SAYS BUSINESS CALLS FOR WOMEN UNLIMITED
Mrs. Beebe Talks Before Economic Sorority on the Opportunities of Today
That opportunities for women in 'business are unlimited at the present time was the fact stressed by Mrs. Ralph Beech, head of the Women's Bank of Chicago, the largest bank in Kansas City, Mo., who addressed the students and faculty of the department of economics yesterday afternoon on the subject: "Men and Women Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."
Mrs. Beebe, who was brought here by Gamma Epi Pion, the economic sorority, has been in business about four years and in that time has made herself well known in Kansas City where she works as a department of which she is the head, only women's accounts are handled. When Mrs. Beebe first started she was given only a desk in the lobby of the large bank, but soon she made such a success of her work that she made head of an entire department.
In her discussion of men and women of the yesterday, the speaker traced women's progress in business from the time when men had complete freedom to work, evenly, even the limbs and clothes, and woman's only business was her housework; through war times when men by necessity taught their wives their business up to the present time when they have grown rich. Many have their own trunk accounts.
"College women ought to pick out the thing they are most interested in, train themselves in that line of work, practice it, and then go out and get it," said Mrs. Beebe. In mansing with her, she noted that men do not have any license to sell real estate; that is a woman's job. Where a man would open the door of a house and say "Well, here your house," a woman would say "Now wouldn't a davenport look like a doctor?" in that course, etc., and "and she would be the one who would make the sale," added Mrs. Beebe.
The special hobbies of Mrs. Beebe are theft and budgets. She believes in teaching children to save by giving them accounts of their own to take care of. She has done it that way before, and says the plan is successful.
"Married people should be business partners and you have a definite budget system just as any other business firms keep." insisted Mrs. Beebe. She has worked out a budget system for housekeepers which she says is "the only thing." Next year she is going to work out a budget system for students, as she thinks every student should have one.
Bobbed T. D. rited By All K. U. Damsels
While individuality may not have been the keynote of why so many women bobbed their hair, it certainly is the keynote of what they do with that hair after they have bobbled it. After investigation, it would seem that some women keep it to foster fond memories while others put it to use.
One girl said that she threw her away since there wasn't enough to see. Another mounthly asserted that she stied here with ribbon and that she did not have a doubt that she regretted that it was gone when it was too late? "I stored mine for future use," answered one short haired boy of future use" could she mean by "future use?"
None of the women seem to have sold their hair. Does this show a lack of business ability or a lack of hair?

HOWAT INVITED TO Y.M.C.A. LUNCHEON
Secretary Blodgett Asks Labor Head to Visit Mount Oread
SPEAKS ON KANSAS COURT
Addressed Labor Meeting in Topeka with Scathing Remarks
Alexander Howard, noted labor leader and national figure in discussions dealing with the Kansas Industrial Court, has been invited by Secy. Warren Blodgett of the K. U. Y. M. C. AF to speak at a noon day luncheon of the organization at his earliest convenience.
Howat recently spoke at a labor meeting in Topeka, upon the Kansas Industrial Court. In his speech there he said "there is no jaw in all the countries of Europe to make slaves of men as this industrial court law does."
In the same meeting, he ridiculted the power of the United States to mine coal, according to the Toppea "Capital" and when a man in the audience replied "They did it in Kansas," he shot back: "I'll tell you about that later. I know all about the five cents dues that tried to mine coal."
"In my letter I have asked him to speak about the Kansas Industrial Court from the labor's standpoint," said Mr. Bloedt. If he agrees to come up here, he will endear us to arrangements for a forum and discussion for meeting, either in Myra Hills or in some other meeting place on the Hill."
K, U, students were among those who volunteered to mine coal for Gov-mer Allen during the big strike last winter. If Mr. Howat comes here, he will be heard with interest by more K, U, students than can be accommodated at a Y, luncheon, is the opinion of him.
PROFESSORS DISCUSS THE "HONOR SYSTEM"
At a meeting in Myers Hall, Thursday night, the honor system was the subject of talks by three faculty members and was participated in which all present participated.
Knappen Believes System Should Be Worked Out by Students
Prof. R. S. Knappen said that a man who cries and steals his grade, dishonorously rays his standard in the class, teaches him how to fail lower grades. Professor Knappen believe that the honor system should be worked out by the students themselves and an "honor court" should be established and elected by the students.
"If there is no honor in the student body, the honor system will not work" he said.
Professor W. J. Baumgartner pointed out that the prime need for the honor system to be efficient was a confidence in the students by their instructors. The honor committee should be elected from the students, and they would have charge of all violations of the system. To this honor committee should be reported violations and it should be the duty every person to report all violations.
Professor Lawson said students should feel that University life is a training for the years to follow, and that cheating will never succeed in business. Students would not be backward in reporting absences or showing up for the face way with violations of the honor system if it were used, he contended.
Following the talks a discussion relative to the system took place and it was decided that the system should be installed in one department at a time, and not be placed in the whole University at once. A motion was put through to start the installation at the University. Music was furnished by the Oechgnd
Music was furnished by the Oehind quartet.
