K. U. LOSES DECISION TO M. U.'s DEBATERS
was Misunderstanding Concerning Interpretation of Question
K. U. HAD STRONG TEAM
Members of Kansas Team Were Henry Gott, George Gould, and R. Martin
The Kansas debating team was defeated by Missouri by a decision of 2-1 Saturday night, March 26, in Kansas City. The state's law that Labor should have a share in the management of industry through representatives of its own choosing? K. U. niphle of its negative side and M. U. the affirmative side.
"The men did every bit as well as we expected," said Professor Shinn today. "Kansas had one of the best teams that has been turned out in a number of years." Kansas has won eleven debates and Missouri eleven. In the last nine years Kansas has always won on a Kansas field and Missouri always was victorious when the debates were held in Columbia. The object biathlon event has sweaked off and so Kansas has a strong team against Missouri.
From the standpoint of a debate, it was not a good one because the two arguments did not clash. It is, therefore, to an agreement concerning the interpretation of the question. It is the first time in years that such an incident has happened and measures will be taken, and provide against it. It is the future.
The Debating Council of Missouri gave a banquet after the debate Saturday night. The Kansas team report that they were well entertained. The members are: Henry Gott, George Gould and Raymond Martin.

LAWS WERE WINNERS IN ANNUAL DEBATE
Contest Was Close. Judges Gave One Vote to Engineers in Final Decision
The law team won from the engineering ten by a judges decision of two to one, at the annual Engineer-Law Debate held in Fraser Chapel Wednesday evening. Fraser Chapel was crowded with others and others who had gathered to witness the annual clash between the rival schools.
In 1864 an act of the legislature authorized the first Kansas Geological Survey under the direction of B. F. Mudge, appointed State Geologist. The survey was conducted. Swallow was appointed State Geologist and be continued the work for two years, when as no provision was made or its continuation, the work ceased. Both Mudge and Swallow issued ballots giving the general structure of the rocks and naming rocks to which the rocks be- longed.

Rock and Soil of Kansas Will Lie Undisturbed After State Geological Survey Dies July
When the Kansas Geological Survey is discontinued on July 1, owing to the action of the legislature in refusing to appropriate funds for its maintenance, twenty-five years of service will be finished and for the second time the survey will have stopped for lack of funds.
The proposition for the debate was "Resolved, that labor should have a share in the management of industry through representatives of its own interests." The proposition was uphold by the engineering team composed of Nathan Mookin, Richard Dungan, and M. H. Naylor. The law team composed of John Michel, Euroen Wheeler, and David Sheffield negated the negative of the proposition.
After this time many geologists residing in Kansas contributed import
There was no rowdyism, and frequent cheers were given by the schools for the opposing teams.
"Slim?" Bradberg acted as cheer leader for the law students, and the cheerlearing for the engineer was led by骆 Bilbert, and John Walstedt. Sandy Vinson was there and led the entire audience in several university yells.
The judges for the contest were Mr. Pearson, superintendent of the Kansas City schools; Mr. Rice Principal of the Kansas City High School; and Mr. Schaerlake, principal of the Argentine High School. Dr. Frank Strong former chancellor of the University needed as chairman of the debate

A great deal of the argument in the verbal battle seemed to hinge around the definition of the term management. The engineer team interpreted the word in a liberal sense, and argued that it included several different plans, but the law team declared that it meant nothing less than representatives on the board. The engineers grew quite warm at times, and the allies of both sides often caused much amusement among the listeners.
"There is a great unrest among labor at the present time," declared M'nockin of the engineering team, "and there must be some change. Will the change come by evolution or revolution? We have to see how the revolutionary makes no choice. We challenge them to suggest a better plan than the one we suggest."
"It is the spirit of descent treatment, and fair dealing on both sides that will bring industrial peace," said Shefford of the law team in answer to the question whether he secured just as well without any management plan."
The two teams met squarely and clashed on issue after issue. The rebullats were spirited, and each speaker drove his points home with telling effect. That the contest was close is indicated by the fact that the engineering team received one of the three votes.
After the debate, the teams and their coaches together with the judges were taken to Brickles and treated like children. The selection taken up among the audience.

Thorpe Calls Trigg Education
Pulling the old brothid that allways comes into play when a Formerly-One of Us returns to visit the University, a student asked Merle Thorpe the other day, "What is the greatest day in K. U., since you went away?"
Educational Asset
"the changes that are about to take place," answered Mr. Thorpe with that quick turn towards the future of the characteristic of the man of affairs.
"You seem to be entering an era of fine growth. Your building program, after many discouraging delays is getting better and better. You are diligently done a workable job of showing the legislature the University's needs. And the University has had, as always, the loyal support of a lot of friends who appreciate its progress."
"I have been reading some of Fred Triggs' stories in the Kansas City Star, showing the piliful state of the university's income and the crowded conditions here and at other state universities. I have heard that their are inadequate. An advocate of higher education like Fred Triggs is a big asset to Kansas."
BUSINESS IS BUSINESS
POOR SLOGAN-THORPE
Former Head of Department of Journalism Speaks at Convocation
In his speech at conventation last Thursday, Merle Thorpe, former K.U. department of journalism head, and editor of the national trade journal, "The Nation's Business," pointed out that the popular saying, "Business is about business," has been the business and industrial well-being of this country in three ways.
"First," he said, "it has made the American public suspicious of a* big business in its close relation to politics, and has been the prime reason for that lack of 'collective efficiency' which Bertrand Howey says the American people so sadly lack." Second, according to Mr. Thieves, it has created an insidious lack of confidence among internal workers, both employees and employees. In cases, it has misled many people into thinking that business is all work and no play, with little imaginative element in it.
Mr. Thorpe said that the expression, "Business is business," has probably been the biggest indirect cause for the great amount of unintelligent and inefficient legislation in our legislative halls today.
Striking a personal note toward the close of his address, Mr. Thorpe said that "the biggest hindrance to progress and unity which I observed at K. U. during my years here was the blind resistance of many students to the advice and good intentions of their instructors."
The speaker emphasized the increasing interdependence of industries upon each other, saying that modern trade and commerce has made the industrial world a problem of the world into our back yards."
In closing, the editor emphasizes the importance of students making up their minds to a life work, and then "naying for it and taking it."
Phil: "Something like this--you might 'get' a date with Mary, but to feel 'secure' that she will keep it is another thing."
Moor Shakespeare! His bones will never rest in peace. Imagine if you can how they rattled when a student in the English department the other day pronounced as his favorite outhas "abloud" as "sublul".
The following conversation was heard between two students of the fair sex:
Bill: "What's the difference be (ween 'get' and 'secure'?"
"My goodness, isn't he just splendid."
"well, I never seemed into them,
but, nevertheless, they sure have wondrous limpid depths."
"I think he has themost wonderfu brown eyes I ever peered into."
Then followed something about a man named Collins, and we heard no more.
"I should say he is. And so good looking."

Future Husbands in K. S. A. C Given Special Consideration In Home Economics Training
Future husbands as well as future wives, are to be given special consideration by the home economics division of the Kansas State Agricultural College in the future. Not that men must be married in order they have always been welcome to enroll in the division, but now they are to receive encouragement. A course in elementary food and nutrition is to be offered, a course having no pre-preparation required, is home offered, and hence occupies anybody in the College.

JOHN BURROUGHS DIES ON WAY TO NEW YORK
Great Naturalist was Going to Spend Birthday in East
TO BE 84 YEARS OLD APRIL 4
Will be Brought to Home of Many Years on the Hudson
The telegram was sent from Buffalo, by the naturalist's secretary and indicated that the death occurred shortly before reaching Buffalo.
New York, March 29—John Burroughs, famous naturalist, died at 2 o'clock this morning on a train on which he was enroute from California to Westport, New York, according to Gray. Dr. Walter Gray Crump here today.
Doctor Crump said the body would be brought to Poughkeepsie. Friends and relatives will meet the body there.
Doctor Crump previously received a telegram saying that Mr. Burroughs was on his way east from Pasadena where he spent the winter, and had become ill shortly after leaving Chicago. Doctor Crump was requested to meet Mr. Burroughs at Poughkeepsie. Just before starting to start, the second message arrived.
Mr. Burroughs had planned to celebrate his 84th birthday with Henry F. H, F. Firestone and Thomas A. Edison on April 3, and was returning from Passadea where he had spent the winter with that idea in mind.
The life of John Burroughs has been one of great inspiration to Americans, both to the many friends who knew him personally and to the far greater number who were acquainted with him through his numerous books on nature study. He will be mourned by the entire nation.
John Burroughs was born at Roxbury, New York in 1837. After preliminary education at Ashland and Cooperstown Seminaries, he attended the University of Michigan where doctors degrees from both. Eight of the early years of his life were spent in teaching school and he held positions as treasury clerk and national bank examiner. He was a member of the Academy of Arts and Letters.
Though no doubt diverse opportunities were open to Mr. Burroughs, he preferred a secluded life and since 1874 has spent most of his time on his farm at Westport, New York, devoted to studying art. He未曾umbered people, both humble and great, have visited him and gained the picture of him which so many Americans have learned to treasure, that of a grey-haired old man walking amid the natural beauties he should encounters揩ing them to the less observant.
Mr. Burroughs is the author of a great mass of nature literature, both poetry and prose, of which the best is probably "Locust and Wild Honey."
