DORMITORY BILL TO LEGISLATURE TODA'
Kansas Women's Council Fur nishes a Big Lobby for the Measure
ASKS FOR ONE MILLION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1921.
Provides for Building of Dormiories at All the State Schools
Topeka, Jan. 31.—When the Kansas House of Representatives convened at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. Minnie J. Grimstead of Seward prepared the bill to be prepared by the Kansas Women's Council providing for a million dollar state bond issue for the creation of dormitories at the five state institutions of learning. Senator Coleman will introduce the bill in the Senate.
Highest hopes for the successful passage of the bill were entertained by University people today. It has been stated that a number of influential senators have said there is praise for the bill, and the passage of the bill in the Senate.
"There is very strong public opinion in favor of the dormitory bill," said Miss Margaret Lynn, sate public manager for the dormitory committee of the Kansas Women's Council. "Large numbers of influential men and women of the state have declared themselves in favor of it."
This bill has probably a larger number of lobbyists than any other bill ever introduced in the state legislature. The Kansas Council of Women assembled as a body Friday with practically every member present and registered as lobbyists for the bill.
The bill as it is to be introduced asks for a bond issue or one million dollars. This amount is to be divided among the state institutions approximately in proportion to the year in which the bonds are issued in different schools. The University will receive $200,000 if the bill is pressed as it stands.
"It is surprising the enthusiastic support the bill has received through out the state," said Dean Alberts Corbin this morning.
In their June meeting last summer the Kansas Council of Women, which consists of the presidents and past presidents of every state women's organization and the deans of women of all the educational institutions of the state, first endorsed the woman dormitory. It was also time since that time practically every woman's organizations in the state has pledged support.
The dormitory bill is the only one being backed by the women of the state as a whole. It is receiving the active support of the other women members in the house, Mrs. Ida Walker, of Norton, Miss Nellie Cline, of Pawnee, and Mrs. Minnie Minnick of Sumner.
The Federation of Women's Clubs and the Collegiate Alumnae have had legislative committees to work on the project. Saturday the Women's Kansas Day Club in session in Topeka endorsed an enthusiastically endorsed the bill.
Regardless of the fact that the campaign has been conducted mainly by women, and contrary to general opinion, the bill is being actively supported by a large number of influential men at the capital.
ASKS REDUCTION IN LABOR
Railroads Would Lay Off 500,000
Men
Chicago, Jan. 31.-Scrapping of the national railroad shop agreement and a reduction of 500,000 unmilled laborers was demanded before the United States Labor Board today by W. W. Atterbury.
Att伯ury, who appeared as spokesman for the railroads after a three-day conference with the labor committee of the Association of Railroad Executives, said a reduction in the pay of other railway employees must be asked for many years if the board abrogated the agreement.
Atterbury said the roads will be saved $300,000,000.
"Unless the board takes prompt action on this appeal, all the railroads of the country will be forced into insolvency." Atterbury said.
He argued that the national agreement and the working agreement, forced on the railroad as well as causes贪污 waste and inefficiency.
Republicans and Kansas Fields Are Lauded at 1921 Banquet of the Kansas Day Club at Topeka
(By a member of the Kanaan staff)
Saturday was Kansas Day, but in
Topela. Saturday night the occasion
was as much the celebration of Rep-
ublican political victories as it was
the paying of tribute to the state and
her sons and daughters of the past
and present.
The Kansas Day Club's annual banquet Saturday night might have been termed the funeral of the Democratic party in Kansas, because the observance of Kansas Day went hand in hand with the celebration of the 19th Century. The golden wheat fields, the sunshine on Kansas hills and the commanding expanse of the prairies were dumped into the same oratorical pot with Warren G. Harding, Henry J. Allen, S. Curtis and Arthur Capper, and the men of nearly every glowing, extolling phrase the English language affords.
There were tubs of oratory at the banquet. Oratuary flowed from the speakers' mouths, from the tables and onto the floor, and trickled out into the lobby. Everything was Republican. The items on the menu were named from Republican officeholders the oratory was all Republican, and
SHFRWOOD EDDY WILL HOLD MEETINGS HERE
the air was heavily charged with a brand of Republican electricity. The Democrats and the oysters in the ocean constituted a lone, unheavy nuisance.
While he calls Leavenworth hi home, Mr. Eddy has accustomed himself to making his home among all classes and conditions of men. He is a Yale University graduate who is a Princeton University in preparation for years of foreign work. His fame in recent years has come through his series
Sherwood Eddy is coming to KU. from Thursday night, February 17 until Sunday afternoon, February 20. He needs no introduction to many collegians because his work in American and foreign university fields, and the greater field of humanity in general during the past twenty years, has given him such fame that he has a succession of engagements for speaking tours in every country. The invitation to K. U. at this time will be made by him in line with his present American tour, following his return from war in Czecho-Slovakia, Turkey and Serbia.
Distinguished Lecturer Will Be begin General and Special Conferences Feb. 18
There were two themes in the oratory of the evening. The one dealt with the golden wheat fields, the sunshine on the hills and the expense of the prairies. The other dealt with the Democratic party and the strifting "erudite college professor" who "attempted to put the League across."
Committees of students and faculty are being organized to complete the plans for Mr. Eddy's meetings. He is expected to arrive here late in the morning, when a roaring welcome will be accorded him. Starting the next morning, he will hold general and special meetings, enabling all to come into close touch with him, as he must leave on Sunday evening. Every morning, the afternoon afternoon vesper meeting at 4 o'clock that will be open to all who are interested.
The Eddy meetings will be followed early in March by meetings over which Harry F. Ward and other leaders of national and state-wide fame will have general supervision. They bring messages to inform the students of the progress of the general uplift movements.
of popular addresses in the form of uplift of mankind along a number of challenges to men and women in the vital lines of human effort. The invitation to K. U. was extended jointly by the Council of Religious Workers, Y. M. C. A. and the W. Y. C. A., the original intention to be have Mr. Eddy for the student conferences early in March but an earlier date was imperative because of his other engagements.
There was quoting of poetry, the enunciation of beautiful political theories and the laudation of Kansas politicians. Utterances bulging with words of praise were dipped into the audience, who handed him a smile to the members of the audience, who, with gustatory satisfaction, swallowed them whole. Hardiny was cheered. Allen was cured, Curtis was disgusted. Whitney was lynched. Wiben was laughed.
Hardiny was cheered, Aief was cheered, Curtis was cheered, Capper was cheered—and Wilson was lauvhed at.
There will perhaps come a day when the Kansas Day banque will have a Democratic atmosphere, but this year it was distinctly Republican.

JAYHAWKERS FALL IN TIGER ATTACKS
Basket Ball Team Held the Smal End of Score in Two Games
ENDACOTT A STAR PLAYER
New Kansas Guard Was Valu able in Holding Down Tiger Score
Handicapped by lack of experience, but fighting like a bunch of wildcats, the Kansas basket ball team fell before the Missouri basketsters in two games Friday and Saturday; nights. The scores were 27-22 and 38-21. Both contests were close, and filled with excitement, a large crowd of Columbians packing Rothwell Gymnastium to see the ancient court rivals play. The Kansas star in the two games was Endacott. The sterling guard, who is playing his first year in Valley basket ball, repelled many of the onalauks of the Tiger tribe, and kept down the yellow and black
Williams and Bunker were the brilliant lights of the Tiger play. Bunker is a clean sportman, and, like Endo, makes a minimum of personal fouls. Wulf succeeded very well at the jump position against Williams, but the Missouriian's experience gave Williams an edge in that department.
Battling for two-thirds of the game without either team having an advantage of over a point or two, the two teams staged a wonderfully well-matched contest. Friday night. In fact, not until the last two minutes of play did the Columbia quintet recover from the fives at the first whirlpool. The Kansas aggregation got the lead right at the start of the game, and then lost it. This see-sawing continued throughout the primary

Alfred Hill, Formerly of Kansan Addresses Newspapermen in Topea Meeting
KANSAS EDITORS HAVE
GREATER INITIATIVE
That Kansas newspapermen show more initiative, are more industrial than the Eastern pencil pushers was the point stressed by Alfred G. Hill former Kanan editor and now alumni secretary, in a talk before the 300 Kansas editors at the 29th annual meeting of the Stae Editorial Association Saturday afternoon at the Memorial Building in Topeka.
Kansas editors suffer a loss of influence when they get into the political game and hold offices, according to the results of the questionnaire read by Lucile Cleveland, c21, of the department of Journalism. Metro-politan campaigns and activities were edited by Alfred Graves, c21. The K. U., students got over big with their part on the program.
Hill after leaving K. U. want to the Topeka Capital where he held important staff positions. Later he went east to the Philadelphia Public Leidner. It was here that the reporter-athlete came in contact with the Atlantic coast reporters and the New Yorkers, then bromber. Afterwards Hill served with the Washington bureau of the United Press.
Several former Kansan Board and Journalism department students, now actively engaged in getting out weeklies, were in attendance at the Topeka meetings. They were: Ross Busenbark, of the burlingame "Chronicle"; J. F. McKelevey, of the Seldon "Observer;" Charlie Sturvent, of the Cimarron "Jacksonian"; Ralph Hemingway, of the Haven "Journal."
Kansas Board members who went to Topeka for the meetings included Lucile Cleveland, Rail Runion, Alfred Graves, Jim Austin, Cap Garvin, Glb Swenson, Ferd Gottlieb, George Gage, and Paul Flagg. Professors Flint, Mahn, and Potter were faculty representatives.

Kansas Stadium-Union Workers Raised $90,000 Up to Friday Noon—Will Make Full Announcement at Masonic Temple Tonight
No accurate estimate was available on the number enrolled in the College at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but it was evident at that time that a larger number than had enrolled to date had been taken from their courses at the end of the week.
The monotony of standing and waiting in line was greatly offset by the ever-ready supply of ham sandwiches, cakes and coffee, "manufactured" by the Omicron Nu girls of the Home Economics department.
Over 175 seniors had enrolled before today, according to announcement from the office of the Registrar.
The necessity for turning away such a large number is due to the limit of one hour allotted to each group of names through the alphabet. This however, has served to do away with the usual congestion but has needs

An unusually large number were forced to go to the Registrar's office in Fraser because their transcript cards could not be found at the entrance of the first floor gym in Robinson, the place of enrolling. The Meeh Student Council and W, S. A. G. charge of the preliminary enrollment.
