CHANCELLOR APPEALS FOR ALUMNI SUPPORT
But Reduction of Salary Budget Will Cause Difficulties, Chancellor Says
COMMITTEE IS GENEROUS
Points Out the Urgency of Favorable Action by the Legislature
The following letter is being mailed to members of the Alumni Association of the University in an effort to bring pressure to bear upon the state legislature that will result in favorable financial requests that have been made.
The letter is part of Chancellor Lindley's active efforts to secure legislative appropriation that will insure the future development of the institute.
"Dear Fellow Kansan:
"Without antagonism to the needs of other institutions we ask you to urge upon your representatives in the Legislature without delay the extreme urgency of the needs of the University of Kansas.
"The Senate Ways and Means Committee already has shown generous consideration of our need of more staff and equipment to serve our county has been so reduced as to render it difficult if not impossible to care for the growth of the school and much less does it establish a salary scale that matches the present standards of instruction.
For instance, should we lose a strong man it would be impossible to go into the market and secure an equally good man with the money available. Deterioration of our staff is therefore inevitable.
"The time has come for Kansas to decide whether she wishes a first class university or one of inferior grade. The morale of the institution cannot endure both biennium of insufficient support.
The issue will be decided in a few days in the Legislature. We trust you realize the gravity of the situation. There are evidences of an aggressive campaign of such character as to imply criticism of the University. This must not, however, betray our friends into antagonism of the interests of other institutions, all of which deserve generous treatment by the Legislature, but which must trust us to resist and friend to the urgent importance of pressing the case of the University at this critical time.
"We hope our appeal meets your approval and that we may count on your nrompt action."
"Very cordially yours,
E. H. Lindley,
Chancellor."

Doctor Ward said this morning that he was able to appreciate the need of a building more suitable for student assembles here, because the University of Texas is confronted with the same proposition.

Mr. Ward depends upon the social viewpoint as a new approach in religion, for religion is no longer absorbed in the individual salvation in the real world, and so he comes to the universe," Warren F. Bledgock, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., said today.
"Mr. Eddy laid the foundation for such social thinking in his first two addresses, 'The challenge of the Present World Situation' and 'The Solution of Our Social Problems', which he delivered here two weeks ago.

Miss Marshall Discusses Cultivation of Plant
At a meeting of the Botany Club, at the home of Dr. C. W. Stevens Wednesday night, Might Vivian Marshall have an address on the "Origin of Our Cultivated Plants." She presented many surprising features concerning the fact that most of the cultivated plants, on which we rely chiefly for sustenance, are not native to this continent. Although the various kinds of grain and fruit seem very common to this continent they have been with us past new centuries. The tomato, Irish potato, and sweet potato are practically the only food products that are native plants.
The Botany Club meets every second Wednesday for the report and discussion of some practical subject.

Chiefs Approve Fight On Wage Reduction
Chicago, March 3 - Sixteen Railroad Union Chiefs wired their sion to the rail strike called by employees of Birmingham, and Atlantic Railroad.
This is the first time since the organization of the United States Railroad Board that a rail strike has been approved by the Union chiefs. Calling of the strike followed the action of the commission, which authorized the authorities of the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Atlantic to reduce wages immediately.
The question of reduction has been pending for two months. The action of the Rail unions in sanctioning the strike, according to those in closest touch with the railroad situation means that they intend to fight hard against bringing the wage down and have no intention of giving in to the railroads.
Union officials connected with the American Federation of Labor have said they know nothing of the report from New York that "common and semi-skilled labor" is to get together with the railroads to adjust wages.

Draft of New W. S. G. A. Rules Will Be Completed Next Week
WOMEN WILL SUBMIT
CONSTITUTION SOON
URGE MORE INTEREST
Annual Election of Members and Officers Comes Early In April
In April
"During the first part of next week the new constitution for the W. S. G. A, will be placed upon consideration before the women of the university, and about two weeks later will be voted upon. It is important that the women of the university awaken now to the realization that even today
W. S. G, A," said Helen Olsen, president of the organization, today, "Each has her part in solving the problems before the organization."
For the past month a committee from the executive body of the council has been working on a revision of the constitution of this body, comparing the present one to those of other large universities.
The important changes contemplated include a revision and tightening up of the point system. By increasing the points for some of the more important positions, it is hoped to get rid of the large numbers and not put so much work on a few.
The growing importance of the Book Exchange has made it necessary to have a special room for this next year. In order to insure more efficient management, there will probably be created a place on the executive council for a junior girl who will take charge exclusively of this activity.
The third important revision which is under consideration is changing the date rule so that it will be off until two instead of eleven clock on Friday and Saturday nights for all events in a舞 or not. It is believed the present rule places too much emphasis on dancing as an amusement.
There is to be a change in the financing of the association. In former years there was a voluntary assessment for each girl of twenty-five cents. If the State Board of Administration granted that a compulsory assessment of fifty cents be levied on each girl along with the registration fees.
The fifth important change con-templated is a strengthening of the House President Council which will be used as an advisory body for the W. President to ensure that a created position for a junior girl as assistant to the first vice-president of the association, who is chairman of the House President's Council.

London, Mar. 3. - It was announced officially today that the Allied nations have served an ultimatum on Germany demanding compliance with the preparation provisions before Mon-Feb. 2016 to mobilize the migration will answer before Monday.
If the ultimatum is allowed to expire, Allies will take over important industrial cities in Germany, including the Ruhr coal ports. The penalty also includes the leaving of a customs officer and the closure of a custom line along the Rhine.
The Allies also notified the Germans that they can expect no alteration of the tariff demands if the ultimatum becomes effective. Premier Lloyd announced the ultimatum to the German Negotiation headed by Von Simons.
Paris, Mar. 3—A section of the French Mediterranean fleet has been ordered to repair an "unknown desirability." The entire fleet was waived to London for cooling. Two cruises will then be organized, will then a secret mission.
It was assumed that the order was issued in connection with the Allied ultimatum on German reparation. It was previously reported that the navy would blockade important German ports if action was decided upon.
London, Mar. 3.—Iodio George in his address to German delegations today declared that there was no intention of oppressing them. They must resist the war, however, and interpret their obligations accordingly, he told them.
Von Simon's statement was a challenge of the Von Simons treaty, he said. But the agreement has no responsibility for the war and will treat it as a thigh already judged.

MAY PROPOSE AMENDMENT
George Nettles, Treasurer, Reports All Student Council Debts Paid

This was brought up in meeting last night and referred to the men students in the spring election.
A committee, composed of Gorrell,
Chandler, and Hoover was appointed
to draw up ways and means of coordi-
nating the ideas of the council and
the Men's Advisory Assembly. It is
expected that some method by which
the Advisory Assembly will have the
powers to be suggested at the Assembly meeting
Tuesday, will be worked out, according
to members of the council.
A formal petition from the School of Law asking for permission to give a minister show during the early part of April was presented and was accepted. The date has not yet been set but will probably be announced soon.
A report by George Nettles, treasurer of the Council, stated that the debts of the Council, many of which were several years old, were practically all paid, and also that everything in the bank would be repaid within the years the body will end a year, with all accounts paid and money in the bank.
