Inter-denominational Board o Trustees From Students Will Govern New School
That the establishment of a school of religion, making scientific instruction along religious lines available to the students of the University of Kansas, is an assured fact became the proposed corporation, adopted at a special meeting of the Council of Religious Workers January 25, was made public. It is planned the in situation will open classes next September in Myers and Westminster Hall for the present at least.
Although final organization of the school has not yet been completed, it is understood there is not a doubt that the project will be carried through, as practically every religious body in Lawrence is actively backing it.
Students in the college may now have three hours in religious education, applied toward a degree, accounted for 20 percent of the year by the college faculty and it is thought this amount may be increased later. The University of Missouri allows a maximum or nineteen such hours to be earned per year adelains the campus at Columbia.
Standard of instruction in the "Kansas School of Religion" are to be maintained on a par with those of the University. The constitution prohibits membership for membership on the faculty shall be a bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, from some college or university of recognized standing and in addition to the requirements from one standard Theological seminary, ible college or university.
A feature of the new institution, which is to be regularly incorporated under the laws of Kansas, is its interdenominational character. The Board of Trustees is to be made up of representatives from each of the religions involved in the share of the expenses of maintaining the school. A body having seventy-five or more students in the University who are members of a church of that faith will be entitled to three members on the board and a church with fewer students may have only one member. The University shall allow W. C. A. will be represented by advisory members on the board.
The exact basis for apportioning the expense will be determined by the Board of Trustees, out the salary of a faculty member is to be paid directly by the religious body responsible for his appointment. Each participating body is entitled to one member on the faculty.
Members of the faculty are to be elected by the Board of Trustees after being nominated by the religious body responsible for their support, subject to the approval of the Chancellor of the University. The "Kansas School of Religion" is to go into operation when four or more religious bodies have been approved by the Board of Trustees in the manner prescribed by the constitution. Sixty days is to be allowed for getting this done.
The announcement of the establishment of the school of religion comes as the result of three months of earnest work on the part of the Council of Religious Workers, with numerous meetings of its members. The Council has twenty-eight members. These include the pastor and pastor's assistant, a student and one student member of each of the larger churches of Lawrence and the secretaries of the two University Christian associations.

Enrollment for the Merchants'
Short Course being held at the University this week has reached about two hundred.

Koch, from Minneapolis City, Mo., posed on the subject, "Retail Accounting—Tap Purpose."
The Merchants Short Course was addressed morning Monday at 10 o'clock, in Fraser Hall, by D. T. Bartlett on "The Science of Advertising." Mr. Bartlett is the owner of the Bartlett School of Auto, Tractor and Auto-mechanics, at Wichita Kansas. Beginning his speech by saying that it ought not to be necessary at this stage of civilization to convince business men that advertising was wrong and that workers would seem to indicate that such schooling was necessary. Eighty-four percent of the business failures last year, according to Dunn and Bradstreet, were non-advertisers. This fet seems to indicate the need for a little education along the line of constructive advertising. The fact that business men in general are not taking advice from the government in deducted from the lack of interest in the research work put out by the state agricultural colleges.

DANCE REFORM TAKES EFFECT
Numerous Violations Marred Program of Reform Advocated at University
OTHER COLLEGES ACT
The first attempt of the Student Government organizations to regulate forms of dancing at the Varsity dance law Saturday night failed partly due to its purpose, according to the student council. Chaeceros at the dance. The crowd sought the center of the hall away from the eyes of the chaperones and the more conservative dancers were present. As the students faced the eyes of the censors, it was said.
Majority of Students Seem to Favor Chancellor's Recommendation Strongly
Although Dean and Mrs. F. J. Keeley, and Miss Alice Corbin, Dean of Women were present in addition to regular chaperones, there was said to be considerable violation of the rules laid down by the association and sanctioned by the Chancellor, on the first dances of the evening, the number of dances was comparatively few, but after experiencing the "toddie" became pronounced, and encores were requested by yelling and stamping.
Dean Kelly made a short speech to the crowd, asking compliance with the new rules, after which the dance proceeded in a more orderly manner. The crowd came to the dance this morning, Dean Kelly gave out the following statement:
"First there was genuine concern exhibited by a large number of stu-
dies, and the majority were obviously eager that the new regulations be effective.
"There were those, a small number at the outset, who desired to know if anyone would happen if they violated the new regulations. That spirit grew somewhat as the evening were on and it seemed necessary for the chaperones to remind the students' attention the seriousness of the possible breakdown of their efforts. This was done in a few brief remarks made to the entire dancing group by myself. In these remarks the students were called upon to remember that the student government was being put to the test, and that the good name of the University was being put into the system. The students had called upon the Chancellor to stop objectionable forms of舞会. In conference with the leaders of the student body he has devised the method which was being used for the first time that night. The responsibility of the chaperonner includes deciding where violations of the new regulations occurred. Among them was announced as bad form were check-cheek dancing, close dance, yelling as a means of encoring, and stamping of feet.
"In the dances following these remarks the spirit seemed to be practically reversed, and I have every confidence that the vast majority of the students do intend to make the University of Kansas a leader among the institutions of the state in raising the standard of social life."
Members of the student government associations, when asked for statements concerning the dance, said that they preferred not to be quoted but expressed the opinion that dancing reforms would be put through in spite of the occurrences of Saturday night.
"The majority of the students in the University favor the reform," said one of them. "We believe that dancing will be better in the future, and that this first violation of the rules is not an indication of failure."
Other Kansas colleges are attempting to introduce similar reforms in dancing to combat the wave of shuffling, toddling, and close dancing. The KU dance team has patterned closely after K. U in methods of regulation of the dance. They are attempting to get their舞韵reforms through before K. U. These changes were incorporated into course of nation. Wauwahanna is also attempting reform of the dance.
The chancellor's office, which issued the orders putting the petitions into effect last week, had no comment to make on the Saturday night occurrence. Chancellor Lindley left Law University early this morning for Toneka where he made a "Founders" Day speech at Washburn College today.
