COLORADO VICTOR IN CLOSE FOUGHT DEBATE
two to One Decision Given Vis itors on Vital Question
KANSAS HAD AFFIRMATIVE
Milton C. Cummings, Himie Schultz, And Richard Toomey Were Team
By a judges' decision of two to one, Kansas was defended by Colorado in the second leg of the intercollegiate Triumphe game night in Fresno Friday.
"Resolved, that a Parliamentary form of government should be admonished before it is question debated, and that it was timely and of much interest to the audience was evidenced by the repeated applause given the speakers."
The argument throughout the debate was clean-cut and forceful, with the affirmative upheld by the Kansas team, Milton, C. Cummings, Hinkle J. Schultz, and Richard Toomey; point-of-view governmental system and the corresponding strength of the Parliamentary type; and the negative upheld by the Colorado team, J. Reid Williams, Edward B. Hart, and Henry J. Osworth; and the Parliamentary form and the strength of our present organization.
The negative on the other hane,
contended that a Parliamentary form of
government in the U. S. was not warranted $g_2$ this time, and that it would destroy the independent executive, the Senate, and the indicative.
Important points brought out by the affirmative were the lack of cooperation between the executive and legislative in this country, showing how for 48 years our President and his administration had worked on parieties, and the lack of efficient administration because of the check and balance system.
Judges of the debate were A. J Stout, Superintendent of the Topek schools, W. T. Harris, of the K. C. K Hogle, of the Chigleh, of the Argentine high school.
A fair-sized audience heard the de baters.
TO FORM NEW ORGANIZATION
Will Be Planned Entirely for Liberal Purposes
Universities and colleges throughout the country are interested in the founding of an Intercollegiate Liberal Organization, which is the purpose of a convention of Liberal College students at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., April 2 and 3. All members, including faculty gates, and all members of college faculties and college alumni, welcome as guests.
The principles included in the suggested plans for the new Intercollegiate Liberal Organization are: The cultivation of the open mind; the development of an informed student opinion on social, industrial, political and international questions; the encouragement of inquiry; the preparation of a "practical" "instit" education of the college youth is the problem of citizenship.
The organization is to be national, being made up of regional units which shall combine the liberal groups in neighboring colleges; and it is to be a international union of admissions with a view to an eventual international league of college liberals.
The program as suggested is: to organize and foster liberal groups in the colleges; to furnish speakers, litterateurs, or instructors to the groups; to induce men and women of achievement to devote a portion of their time to lectures in the colleges; and to organize regional conferences of liberal groups.
The proposed structure will be a federation of autonomous college liberal groups based on individual student membership, involving the cooperation of graduates and faculty members with student direction and also legislative and an executive branch.

K. U. Grad Now in China Tells of His Work Ther
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, APRIL 4. 1921
Prof. A. E. Saye, Dean of the School of Pharmacy, recently received a very interesting letter from Chas. O. Lee, who was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1968 and now a Methodist missionary in China. Lee is located at Nanking, China, and is at present studying the Chinese language in preparation to taking over the pharmacy department of a hospital that is to be built in the near future.
He writes that the old hospital which is now in use, is very inadequate for the needs of the people. It takes care of over 25,000 cases a year and is the only hospital in a district of ten million people.
He is the first missionary pharma cist to be sent to China, and says that the Missionary board is using him as an experiment. He stated that he would like to another photoeicist that would like to go into the missionary work.

NUMBER 123
The farmers of Kansas will be given a chance to answer the appeal for aid from the Near East on April 9 which has been set as a gain "Grain Day" for Kansas. Grain delivered to local elevators on this day by farmers will be milled into food for the starving in Nebraska and the Eastern.

All Kansas corn and wheat will be marked "Gift of Kansas Farmers." Five hundred farmers, at a convention in Iowa, have been loaded of wheat and corn. Four other states, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, each, have promised the same amount. About 2500 people can be given a year with 100 car-loads of grain.

THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBES.
I was sick and I was ailing,
I was surely, swiftly pailing,
I never felt so bad in all my days.
So I hied me to a doctor.
And told him all about me—every phase.
He listened quite intently,
But at last he mumured gently:
"My boy, I understand you through and through;
What you need is relaxation. And a long emancipation
From the work that you are trying now to do."
"You also need a tonic." (He said it quite laconic)
"A tonic that will build your system up.

And when I reached my habitation,
I poured out a small libation,
And holy smoke! the way that stuff
And I also join him carefully.
Then I beat it for the street and for
my home:

I thanked him most sincerely,
And I also paid him dearly.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT FACES GRAVE CRISIS
Coal Mine Shutdown Puts
Lid on All
England
England
INDUSTRIES ARE CRIPPLED
As Result of the Strikes Millions Are Directly Affected
London, April 4-Industry was shriveled today and fuel supply was cut off by the great coal strike.
With many workers and railroad men threatening the strike which would amount to practically industrial revolution, the cabines and parliament met today in a special called session to discuss the nation from complete breaking down.
The government recognizes this condition as being as grave as the crisis of July, 1914. It slung its power to mobilize workers and mobilize of a socialistic experiment." At the same time the leaders of the transportation and the railroads were gathering for their meeting tomorrow and would decide whether to join the miners or not.
Under the emergency act in vogue last week the government can sustain the industrial right and obtain possession for a time through the use of troops. The meeting today was to decide how these forces could be used best in the operation of essential industries. At the same time, the use of food and the preservation of order.
Keeping pf peace was believed to be a grave problem with 1,500,000 unemployed in the nation. Their rank out of employment by the coal strike
Shortage of coal already has closed down many factories. Lack of transport also, has made conditions serious.
In Sheffield and other districts dependence on the coal supply was follo-
t. The usual dense clouds of smoke were missing and the plants were dead.
Arthur Henderson, the most wonderful labor leader in Great Britain, in an interview with a United Press correspondent, predicted today that a victory of the labor party would result from the next election. Premier Lloyd-George has lost forever the support of labor, he said, and he was willing to face his opponent to present the collapse of the Lloyd-George government, giving lloyd an opportunity to seize control and institute its own program.
Henderson refused to announce a complete labor platform, but indicated that if the laborists came into power, they would change in economic conditions, but would have a startling affect on the Irish international and internal situation. Changes would be "revolutionary" because he was certainly declined babelskvik tendencies.

MODERN GIRL IS O. K.
SAYS WOMAN'S DEAN
New Standards of Dress and Manners Not So Bad, Is Claim
Chicago, April 4, (United Press). The old fashioned girl is passing.
Into her place is stepping 'a brilliant, self-reliant purposeful feminine type—the modern American girl.
"There is a question whether the old standards are best," Dean Potter told the United Press today. "Time will tell. We should not judge too well. We let us build for the future. Do more research on young girls, but give them a chance.
And with critics disploring the extreme dress of the girl of today, Mary Ross Potter, potter of women at Northwestern University, came to her defense.
"The spirit of optimism in the modern girl is admirable," commented Dean Potter. "She enters into training for life work as seriously as the young man—social service and journalism seem most popular."
"Everything is keyed up to the maximum. Life is very, very complicated in this transition period and in transition the younger generation is generally more susceptible to the thrill and excitement. And they go to extremes because this is a day of extremes."
Dean Potter admitted that the ultrafashionable dress and the modern dance steps are often lamentable, yet she believed that the modern college breed girl puts greater enthusiasm into "good constructive work" than in nonconstructive ones. Once she has "found herself," the modern girl is an ideal type.
The modern girl, with vocational training and experience in business, makes an ideal helpmate, according to Dean Potter, for she becomes more than a housewife—she is a real comrade to her husband.

Whether the excavator digs it up or no, the evidence will be there, because at present quite a number of people have seen the excavation of the excavator happen on it however he will discover from documents that in the year 1921 a building had been erected in Aldwych by the Bush Terminal Company and with the thoughtful idea of perpetuating the memory of the civilization of the 20th century they have seen the foundations, samples of the contemporary merchandise.

POLITICS BLAZON OUT WITH TAGS AND SIGNS
Porter and Massey, Candidates for President of Men's Council, Head Parties
NO POSTERS ON SIDEWALK
Some Office Seekers May be Ineligible—Campaign Promises to be Close
One ticket, headed by Addison R Massey for President of the Men's Student Council, displays a diamond-shaped emblem representing his name and slogan of their campaign.
Tags, of bright crimson and white, posters stalked against the onlautsages of the April breezes, opened the active work of the annual spring political campaign this morning. Sounds of hammering disturbed the slumbers of those who sleep on Mount Oread's north side, the morning, the posters of both sides, the candidates and tickets of each of the two parties, greeted the students.
The other ticket, headed by John Porter for president of the Men's Student Council, is named after the two "leads" on the ticket, "Porter-Winson," and the slogan on the reverse side of the rectangular red placard is "Compare the Qualifications."
No posters were pasted on the sidewalks. The politicians—the very young ones dragged out to do the homework for themselves or horses" who go along and learn the new trade of tucking beaverboard with eagerness, declare that the new method,—that of erecting standards and tacking the signs thereon, is much more laborious. Pedestrians, that the new way is much safer.
The campaign managers of both sides insisted the office of H. C. Thurnau, chairman of the University committee on eligibility other than athletic, Friday afternoon. Two members of the Porter ticket, and four members of the Massage ticket, are charged ineligible at first, but rapid work enabled the politicians to bring into line most of the men. Nimon Slane, candidate for non-athletic member of the athletic board on the Porter ticket, will be unable to make up his ineligibility, and his name will not be placed on the ballots. The candidates are at present ineligible, will be given until Tuesday noon to turn in certificates of having properly made up their work.
The campaign this week promises to be one of the hottest and closest in many years, according to close observers of the situation. Both of the leading candidates are *e* well-known, both are fraternity men, and both are enrolled in the College. Massieu is a journalist, and Porter is a pre-medic.
The arrangements for election are being made by Robert Lynn, appointed chairman of election by John Moe, student of the Mo's Student Council.
