VOLUME XVIII
GRAD MAGAZINE HAS LINDLEY'S MESSAGE
January Issue of Alumni Publication Sent to Student Rooming House
LIST MANY "PERSONALS"
Many K. U. "Rallies" and Reunions Detailed—Tells of "State Sport Week"
A message from Chancellor E. H. Lindley on the interests at stake for the University in the fate of the K.U. appropriations in the present session of the Kansas legislature is the leading feature of the January issue of the Graduate Magazine, which will be off the presses probably Friday of this week. Much material of interest to the student as well as the old grad will be available at the University Hills, editor, who has arranged to have a copy of the magazine sent to every fraternity, sorority, and boarding house on the hill.
Details of the University budget, as approved by the Governor, the board of administration, the state business manager, and the Chancellor are given. An interesting sketch of the family and home life is also given.
K, U. reunions and rallies are given three pages in the edition. Some details of the Michigan and Topeka meetings are given, and many of the county club activities are told. The "State Sport Week" which will be held after Thanksgiving of next year, also receives a full page of descriptions.
A record number of 360 "personal's"—items about the lives of the various Kansas alumni, listed under their graduating year, is the claim of the editor. Another feature is an article by a K. U. man now in New York, telling of several K. U. instructors and professors who became rich in a few years after leaving the University, by entering the commercial field.
DRIVE IN A SLUMP
50-cent Drive Has Raised $100
of $600 Quota
University women are not doing all that is expected of them in regard to the fifty cent grant to defray the expense of dormitory public, according to the committee of house presidents in charge of the drive.
Tags have been on sale at fifty cents each for almost a week and so far only a little more than $100 has been given to the presidents adopted for their drive is "fifty cents from every girl." There are 1200 girls in the University, making a sum of $600 which should be by them if every girl did her nut.
It is thought by the committee on the drive that the girls do not understand the genuine purpose of the drive or they would not pass up so carelessly the chance to do their part. The fund is that which will be used to pay for the stationary, postages, and other such incidental expense of the committee on dormitories which is donating its services gratis.
Not all of the house presidents have made their reports, according to the committee, but some of the house presidents who took out tags enough to sell one to each girl in her house almost as many as she took out.
Injury To Alexander Impairs S. A. E. Chances
Francis Alexander, c'23, crack forward of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon basket ball team, throw his shoulder out of joint last night in practice at Routt Olympius. Alexander was immediately taken to Dr. F. C. Allen's house and the shoulder rests.
The injury did not bother him today, but there is doubt as to Alexander being used in hasket ball very soon. This will impair the chances of the team as he starred in winning the Pan-Hellenic championship last year.
Japanese Missionary Will Speak Through the influence of Alpha Kappa Psi, national commercial fraternity, Dr. Frank Smith, e22, missionary to Japan and Korea, will speak on the economic and commercial conditions of Japan and Korea before the Conference in the East Adj. All students of the economics department are invited to attend.
Kenneth Constant, c22, will spend Wednesday in Eudora.
Wind Theory Alibi For Tardies Found
Did you hear the whistle this morning? It blew as loud as usual but it may be that you could not hear it. The physics department comes forward with an explanation which may be a new excuse for tedium to 8:30 classes.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSA
When there is wind, it is stronger higher above the earth than directly on its surface, because of obstructions in its path such as trees and rocks. When there is wind, the sound is stronger higher up, the sound is carried upward rather than horizontally.
Now if you live north or east of the campus, as the majority of students do, and there is a strong northeast wind, it is quite likely that you can not hear the whistle. Then If you stroll into class fifteen minutes late, and your Professor harshly asks why you have trailed so long, calmly quote the physics department, and your alibi will be complete.
REAL TALENT SHOWN IN LAPHAM CONCERT
Small but Appreciative Audience Turns Out to Hear Former Student
Miss Agnes Lapham, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, gave an exceptionally interesting piano recital last evening in Fraser Hall. The size of the audience which came to hear her was entirely unworthy of Miss Lapham's evident talents. She made it was made up largely of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts and the advanced music students, with a few music lovers from the city. Although the audience was small, it accorded Miss Lapham the heartiest applause after each one of her groups. She was swapped twice between the two groups repeat. Prof. Prayer's "Brook Nymphs."
"Miss Laphap displayed a fine technical equipment, as well as a sincere feeling for the musical content of the numbers she played. Her program was interesting, because it was a judious combination of music and dance," said Doyle, that had never been played in Lawrence," said Dean Buttert today.
TO MEASURE PLANETS
Miss Lapham, whose home is in Chicago, is now on a concert tour through the Middle Western states and has been nomor row evening in St. Louis.
Chicago U Man Has Machine to Get Dimensions
Chicago, Illinois—Results of the first successful experiments on an astronomical device at the Mt. Wilson, California observatory, revealing that certain remote stars are many thousand times larger than astronomers had arisened, were discussed by AAAP. A group in Chicago, who perfected the device, he spoke before the American Physical Society, meeting in conjunction with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Under his direction astronomical experts have just computed the diameter of Alpha Centauri and the star's stellation of Orion. The diameter is 260,000 miles.
Professor Michelson, winner of the Nobel prize in physics 13 years ago, is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in the world on the subject of light. His device is described as follows:
The mirror of an eight-foot reflecting telescope is obscured by an opaque cap with two slits adjustable in width and distance apart. When the instrument is focused on a star, instead of an image of the star, there appears a series of interference bands arrangee at equal distances apart and parallell to the two slits. When the slits are properly adjusted a distance is finally attained between them at which the fringes disappear.
The angle of the subtended star is obtained by a simple formula, and when the angle and the distance of the star from the earth are known, the diameter of the star easily can be determined.
The device was perfected last summer and taken to California by Professor Michelson, and its secret was guarded until recently. The device is accurate to within .0001 of a second of longitude, or approximately the angle subtended by the head of a pin at a distance of 1000 miles.

S. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1921.
This country's construction plans will also put America ahead of Japan in the total tonnage of fighting ships in the ratio of 2/3 to 1, Daniels said. He added, however, that should Japan build the program which she has designed, that the ratio would be decreased to 1/4 to 1 in favor of the United States.
Washington, Jan. 12—In major ships and gun power, the United States will be superior to the British navy when this country's building program is completed in 1925. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles emphasized strength of Britian, Japan and the strength of Britian, Japan and the United States.

ENGINEERS TO PICK NEW M. S. C. MEMBER
Wahlsted Removed Because He Didn't Attend Meetings, Says Secretary Olson
Notice to engineers: Petitions to fill a vacancy of one representative in the Men's Student Council must be filed with me before 6 o'clock Wednesday, January 19, 1921.
The vacancy is caused by the removal of John Wahleistd, elected to that body last spring, who was discharged. The staff missed five consecutive meetings of that body. Arthur Lomborg, another officer, will be attending at the meeting this week, having missed three meetings in a row, according to secretary Olson.
Herbert Olson, Secretary, M. S. C.
A vacancy of one Men's Student
Council representative from the School
of Engineering was announced today.
Mr. Olson is a member of the
Council, he called for petition
of candidates for the place.
This removal may cause another tie up in the functionings of the council, as the body now is evenly divided, as political questions are concerned.
Beware, Mr. Frosh;
Of K. U. Catacombs
You want to know what that opening resembling a cellar door back of the Chemistrybuilding is? Sh! Fresh. Entrances to the catcates of K.U.
The tunnels were constructed originally for another purpose. Through them are conducted the heat, gas water circulation and ventilation buildings on the campus. About four feet wide, five or five and a half feet high, with a round roof of concrete, they furnish an excellent place for training. The freshmen during "HellWeek."
Your history teacher in high school made you read about the catacombs near Rome on the Appian way, which were used as a place of internment and mass graves. Well, the ancient Romans "didn't have anything on us" at that. If you were to walk in that cellar-door-looking place you would find yourself in a room running at right angles with the first, branching off in every direction.
These subterranean passages form a complex and confusing network underlying the entire campus. This is where freshmen are put to lose their breath. So many students are being initiated into some secret organization of he University.
The days of punishment by confinement in stocks and by branding with red-hot irons are past, but we still have our catacombs. Once a person has been forced to progress into them a little way, he soon loses all sense of direction and fumbles his way around deme and stiffing blackness for hours. Once he is in a hurry, once he stumblingly back, only to lose himself in another passage. He feels his way through miles of tunnels but never sees a ray of light to indicate a way out. It's a wonderful experience — this having to spend a night in the subterranean chambers beneath Mount Aulach. One pays his good hard work in building a few minutes in just such a place in Electric Park in Kauai City, But men in the process of initiation are compulsively permitted to spend several hours in these underground passageways of K.U.

Claim Men Students of University Are Dissatisfied with the Body
ADVISORY ASSEMBLY
WOULD DISORGANIZE
A POLITICAL CATS-PAW?
Rumor Prevalent That Assembly Was Created for Political Reason
The Advisory Assembly will soon be a thing of the past, according to members of that body, because of the general and growing dissatisfaction with it among the men students of the University.
At its meeting next Tuesday, the Assembly will request the Men's Student Council to submit before the student body at the spring election an amendment to the Constitution asking the Men's Advisory Assembly.
Assembly delegates have been disappointed with the workings of the body, and say that the sentiment among the students at large condemning the organization is plain reality of permanency continuing it.
The rumor has spread that the Advisory Assembly is by and an auxiliary corps to the Student Council created by some of the HILL politicians for the purpose of ameliorating disappointed political ambitions. This group, as a result, has for the lukewarm attitude adapted toward the organization by a great many of the student body from the day of its establishment.
BRANDT TO ANNOUNCE HONOR ROLL EARLIER
Freshmen Must Receive These Recommendations to Make Dean's List
The freshman honor roll will be announced earlier than usual this year, according to the office of J. G. Brandt, of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This roll, of fifty to seventy-five first year men and women in college, is a collection of authorities as recognition of meritorious classroom work.
The roll cannot be published until after the first six weeks of the second semester, according to Dean Brandt, and some time is necessary in compiling it. Request of the Jay-Tech program, however, is expected to speed the work up some, so that the names may be expected probably sometime in March or early in April. Letters from each freshman instructor are the basis of the dean's selections, and the rule in the past has been, that each successive student must resolve a joint at least three recommendations, from as many of his instructors.

Nick Appleton, of Boston, is shorting with glee this week. His fraternity, Delta Upsilon, slew a cow last Saturday, and after the present barrage of liver and onions, Nick thinks breakfast every morning will be featured by 'am, it is said.
The fossil horse material in Dyche Museum is being arranged and grouped in a special case according to the benefit of classes in Paleontology
Fossil remains of the four principal ages are represented in the case; the Eocene period, about 3,000,000 years ago, when the horse had three funcu-
tions, and the early side toes were preceding and the middle toe was the largest; and the Miocene and Pliocene periods when the side toes were clear above the ground and the middle toe had taken place of the hoof of our present horse.
The horse is the best subject known for the study of the evolution of species since many of its characteristics are retained through the ages. The Eocene period are very similar to those of our present horse.
PERRY HANSEN TELLS OF CHINA'S PROGRESS
Returned Missionary Speaks to Joint Meeting of Y. M. and, Y. W.
China's progress in educational, commercial and religious lines was emphasized by Mr. Perry Hansen, in a speech Tuesday before a joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A, and the Y. W. C. A.
Mr. Hansen is in America on a furlough after 18 years of missionary work in Canton province, China. He was secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. from 1901—the first general regular secretary the association had held with Hansen. He also held the K. U., Y. W., Y. A., secretary while Mr Hansen occupied the similar post with the meq's organization.
The general impression in this country seems to be that China is unstill civilized, Mr. Hansen said, complimenting K. U. on an apparent opposite idea of the far eastern country. China's method of eradating wildlife was available; opium—was recommended to this country as a means of accomplishing the final death of John Barleycorn.
"The two great nations of the world will ultimately be China and the United States," the speaker said. "Japan will some day be merged into China which, with its untold wealth of natural resources, will assume a position in the World's commerce seas." And she added, "I hope that the friendliest relations will always exist between these two great countries."

BILL ALLOWING BONDS FOR DORMS IS ASKED
Assurance of Non-Taxable Bonds
By Private Capital Urged
By Governor
GIVES 9,000 WORD MESSAGE
New Revenue Sources and Highway Action Requested By Allen
Topeka, Jan. 12—A bill to make possible the building of dormitories at the State University at Lawrence and other educational institutions by permitting private capital to issue non-taxable bonds for that purpose is one of the recommendations made by Gov. Henk J. Allen in his 9,000 Kansas legislature delivered to the Kansas legislative house completed their organization and met to hear from the Governor this afternoon.
Other recommendations would provide for finding new sources of revenue by taking wealth heretofore untapped creating a new department of agriculture, reorganizing the state banking department, providing for a home tax and passing laws that will increase building permanent highways were the most important recommendations made by Governor Allen.
It is said the message delivered by Governor Allen to the 1932 session is the longest ever sent to a Kansas legislature. Twenty-one separate and distinct subjects are discussed in it. But the separation of the industrial court from the public utilities commission the establishment of a farm tenancy department and which state administration is greatly interested were touched upon only in the briefest manner.
NO COURT DEMANDS
While letting it be known that he desires to see the industrial court separated from the rate-making utilities commission, the governor refrained from making anything like a demand that his desires be carried out, and it is the general belief that he proposed to wait until the attitude of the lawmakers can be more definitely learned before pressing the matter. After telling briefly of the great handicap under which the court of industrial relations has been worked through, the governor in his words, If the court of industrial relations is to work out "the big real purpose of its existence, it will need to be relieved of the burden of public utility regulation."
Legislation suggested includes a new law to take the place of the one passed by the 1919 special session, which mandated venting unfair practices; the enactment of a law that would permit small grain elevators to issue warehouse receipts to grain growers; and the introduction of agricultural departments into one.
DEALS WITH GOOD ROADS
The subject of good roads legislation was dealt with. The governor suggested that funds for permitting the state to aid in the building of permanent highways should be raised through an automobile license tax, and suggested that $8,000,000 should be raised in this way, which, on a basis of the state paying 25 per cent of the license taxes, would permit an $8,000,000 road building program every year with one-third of the license tax money being left in the counties for dragging and repairing old roads.
ASK HIGHER CAPITAL
The legislature is asked to pass a law that would not allow a bank to be capitalized for less than $25,000 and that would fix a time within which all banks now capitalized for less than this amount would be required to increase their capital out so out of business.
Other recommendations made by the governor include:
Legislation that would make the offices of superintendent of public instruction, superintendent of insurance, and printer appetitive indeed of elective.
A law requiring that professional engineers and surveyors be licensed. A law curtailing the sale of firearms.
A law permitting juries of less than 12 men to sit upon certain cases.

The following men have been elected from the School of Law to become members of the Jurisprudence Club S. S. Chandler, C. C. Winsor, B. F. Pester, Paul A. Lamb and Havener Parrish,
