DAY OF JAZZ IS OVER SAYS DEAN OF MUSIC
Music
Old Fashioned Waltz Will Probably Replace Modern
Jazz music is through, and the cause for its passing from public favor is that the people have come to realize that there are no real musical qualities in jazz and that it appeals only to the local audience. Mr. L. Butler, dean of the School of Fine Arts of the University of Kansas.
"Jazz," says Dean Butler, "is merely the animal side of music. It originated in the dances dye of the South, and came into popularity by being copied in the dancing halls of New York. What's more, is nothing but syncopated rhythm and has been the biggest cause of the undesirable dances which have been so prevalent of jate. In attempting to oust such dances authorities have started at the wrong point. The music should be reformed free of the percussion or the vulgar music which has been played recently by every orchestra."
"The old time community sing is one of the best remedies for the present state of society," says Dean Butler. "Such methods are being used more and more in the large cities as a means of giving entertainment and creating contentment among the youth, and by helping our public school music supervisors to encourage such activities in the communities where they work.
"What will replace the jazz is hard to say," says Dean Butler, "but it is certain that some kind of a change is coming. In all probability it will be the return to the old fashioned waltz in dancing, and the opposite extreme to this. The moment unjust should be for the better, to say the least."

LLOYD GEORGE SEEKS PEOPLE'S ASSISTANCE
Premier Says Miners Threaten Life of British Nation
SAYS INDUSTRIES NEEDED
London, April 7. - Premier Lloyd George appealed to the British people to aid the government in dealing with the industrial situation which comes as a result of the coal miners strike.
Mining Delegate Retorts With "Back to the
"The government will use every means in its power to meet the situation," the premier declared. "The state will be the most forceful of the mass of British people."
Lloyd George made the appeal in his announcement to the House of Commons of the negotiations between miners and mine owners.
Lloyd George, in his conference with miners, 'told them they were threatening the life of the country.
"There will be nothing more left in Great Britain than there is in Russia if you destroy industries," he said. "If you kill the miners so if Britain becomes only a home for cultivators of the soil?" he asked.
"Back to the land," retorted a mining delicate.
"It is not flooding the mines that you are doing," the premier declared. "It is flooding the nation's industry. This is an industrial country, and it the industries are destroyed the country cannot exist."
Britain's preparation for industrial warfare is being speeded up. Thousands of soldiers are being rushed to strategic points. Regulations are being put on food supplies, and lightless nights have been proposed.
The premier personally attempted to persuade the miners to declare their position. At a long conference this morning, Lloyd George used all the arts of argument at his command. Miners declared they wished to reach an understanding with the collyer owners and are willing to make concessions, not meet the primary demand of the owners. This demand was that, before negotiations be attempted, workers be installed in the mines to see that they are not flooded.
Ardent Suporters From Bot Sides Were Present
A good-natured, political pow-wow at which both factions were about equally represented, was held in Fras. Chapel at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. Herschel Washington acted as chairman of the meeting, and the hall was crowded with men of both sides.
The entire meeting was marked by the good nature and respect displayed by both sides. After the gathering was brought to a close the two factions held caucuses in separate houses.
Ibe Massey was the first speaker of the evening, and in his talk he outlined the platform of the "Get It Done Ticket." John Porter spoke next. A few minutes later, Mr. Winsor Ticket," and giving the qualifications of their men for office.
Bob Gilbert talked for a short time and introduced the men who will appear as his assistants in cheer leading in case he is selected. Sandy Winsor was the last speaker of the evening. Both sides roundly denounced the appearance of the "pik shak" band, which they said that there are always a few individuals that must bring "mud singing" in to the University politics.
The men who attended the gathering were, for the most part, ardent supporters of one of the two sides, and it is doubtful whether the speeches and propaganda had much effect except to draw heavy rounds of applause from the various factions in the audience.
Edward White, candidate for vice president on the "Get It Done Ticket," based his talk on the record and qualifications of Massey, and Elmer Lern, candidate for the same office on the "Porter-Winner Ticket" spoken of the plans of his position to fill both the office of business manager for the Jayhawker and the place as the vice-president of the council.
Marjorie Markley, c24, will spend Saturday and Sunday at her home in Kansas City.

SIGN WATCHERS MEET
STRANGE HILL VISITOR
Unknown Clandestine Muraund
Seeks to Destroy Political
Signs
ARMED WITH BIG KNIFE
Both Factions at a Loss to Explain Man's Queer Actions
A new feature in University poli-
ties appeared last night when both
political parties combined in an effec-
tive march, with the unknown marshal to destroy political signs and posters. More than thirty freshmen and upper-classmen spent the day patrolling the campus,
saying they were trained but being unable to effect a capture.
The man was first seen about 11 o'clock last night, when he destroyed several signs between Green Hall and Dyche Museum. A call for guardians was made against the nasties, and in a short time the campus was guarded from all points.
At the time of the first raid the culprit was heard to say that he would destroy all the signs before he could leave, and even kept him from making good his boast. Time and again he was sighted but always escaped after the destruction of one or more signs, to appear in another part of the camp.
One hot chase, led back of Fowler Shops, while twice the fugitive made his escape thru the yard of the Acacia house. Soon he was captured, but the watchers remained on the campaas until daylight, chagrined at the vanal's repeated escapes, and determined to prevent the carrying out of his bonet of complete destructive damage.
Several men had the opportunity of talking with the man, and all are agreed that he was not a student, decribing him as a man least thirty-five years old, wearing a slouch hat and a dark gray suit. The general opinion is that he was either insane or intoxicated, as his response to questions was uniformly "Rest," and the answer that he "had been in the armor too."
The man carried an open knife in his hand, which prevented his capture several times, some of the embryonic politicians deeming discretion the better part of valor, and delaying their assaults. He did not document, which never arrived in time.
Both political factions are at a loss to explain the man's actions, and the thirty students who made up the guard are dozing thru classes today, and swearing vengeance upon the culprit, "if he is ever caught."
CITY MANAGER PLAN SUCCESS
Nine Kansas Cities Now Have This Form of Government

Five of these nine cities have only recently adopted this plan of government, and two cities, Garrett and New York City, manage plan at recent elections.

SUCCESS OF DRIVES
IS WICHITA SLOGAN
Peerless Princess" Business Men Will be Solicited for Stadium-Union
The Kansas Stadium-Union Memorial campaign for $1,000,000, with $350,000 raised at the University and in Lawrence, and with the campaign for an additional $150,000 under way at Kansas City, to help support Rotarians for Rotaristas at Wichita. The Lawrence Rotary Jayhawk gives this account:
"When 'Phog' reported that the new K. U. spirit was too much for the old bleachers on McCook Field it didn't take long to lay their memory in the archives, and figure costs on a replacement basis." The result was the new Stadium which will give all the alumni a chance to experience time to come, by having an active part in the construction of the Stadium and Student Union.
"The city of Lawrence declared a holiday, and under the direction of Bert Ober as general, the town was placed under military law, until the three divisions which were each every citizen. At the end of the week the Crismon & Blue division under the command of Colonel Paul Dinsmoor had captured more yellow slips than either the Wildfires of the Jayhawkers, and it was awarded the medal of honor, for his service in the Million Dollar Drive.
"As we our custom, Rotary was on the firing line, but the members were mixed here and there on the general general committee in each division, which had been led so the Chamber of Commerce could put it over big. The campaign is the biggest thing that ever happened to K. U., and Lawrence for many years, but even a greater think is this: Rotary was learning the value of co-operation.
"Lawrence raised her quota and 50 per cent more, which shows that cooperation does pay in community work."
