THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XVIII
FEDERATION PLEDGES TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS
Women's Clubs Will Urge Legis lature to Pass Educational Measures
RECOGNIZE NEED OF FUNDS
Mrs. Motter Urges Representatives to Write to Congressmen
"Whatteacher measures any school of higher education in the State of Kansas places before the legislature this winter, the Federation of Women's Clubs has pledged its unqualified support," according to a report from their meeting this morning in Fraser Hall. That means that the influencer men of the state need the need to understand the institutions for our colleges and universities and are willing to work hard to make that need realized.
Mrs. Harve Matter, chairman of the legislative committee, has asked every president from the eight districts to vote to all the women within her district and urge them to interview or correspond with their representative to the state legislature in an effort to make him understand the necessity of voting for any measure in the educational policies. Mrs. Matter is also also every woman to go to school andJanuary so that she can be seen to pose that the measures for which she stands are even careful consideration.
A new bill which will probably be introduced along with the educational program will be that of installing a kindergarten in every public school where twenty-five children have asked for it.
NEXT CONCERT SOON
Myrna Sharlow, Soprano, i Fourth Concert Number
At the fourth number of the University Concert Course, Tuesday evening, December 14, Myrna Sharlow, soprano with the Chicago Opera Company, will appear for the first time before a K. A. alliance.
Miss Sharley is the youngest artist on this course, and has had thus far a brilliant career. The four years during which she has engaged in operatic work have witnessed one success after another.
Accompanying Miss Sharlow will be Granville English, a young pianist who is rapidly making a name for herself on the program in a solo group.
Dramatic Club Sees "Little Theatre" Need
A few years ago while touring the southern states, Miss Sharlow was called upon to substitute for the great artist, Galli-Curci, who had been taken ill. Most hostess of her day didn't seem difficult an undertaking, for the audiences were greatly disappointed because of Galli-Curci's nonappearance; yet Miss Sharlow's splendid voice, aided by her pleasing personality, captivated the crowd. Her performances helped to be one of the best and most promising of America's young singers.
At a meeting of the Dramatic Club last night, it was unanimously decided to offer a resolution to the Union Building Committee, suggesting that a complete Little Theatre be installed in the plans for the Building.
In speaking about the resolution, Professor MacMurray outlined the need of the University for such a theatre, where entertainments of all kinds could be given. "When the old graduates back, they like to see a show," he said. "The club could put on such plays if we had a theatre with adequate seating arrangements, scenery, etc." El Atenoe, and Le Cercle Francais, clubs of the Department of Romance Languages, put on dramatic productions last year for which the limited audiences of Green Hall were insufficient.
The Club voted to fine members not present at meetings unless a written excuse be presented to the Executive committee within six days of absence, the fine to be paid before further attendance is permitted.
Miss Mildred Sanders was admitted to the Club last night.
Geary County club will meet to organize Monday evening at 8:00 o'clock, in Room 212 Fraser Hall.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
SEEKS FACULTY MEN
NUMBER 61
Drive Among Faculty Men
Lost Week, Says Dean
The modern Chamber of Commerce an indispensable resource for community uplifting. It is the only place where all the interest of the city may find organized expression. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce is doing a great work not only for Lawrence but for the University of Kansas and deserves the hearty support of all friends of the University.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURS DAY DECEMBER, 9, 1920
Signed: E. H. LINDLEY
A drive for faculty members for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce was launched today with Dean Harold L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts in charge. The thirty-five instructors who are already members of the organization will assist in the drive on the Hill. The quest for members will continue through a week from Friday.
"All members of the University of Kansas faculty are eligible to membership in the Chamber of Commerce," said Dawn Burber this morning. "We are introducing new names to the list of instructors now in the organization. The fee for University faculty men is only $12 a year, this being much lower, of course, than the membership fee for women." The university has most interesting features in connection with membership in the Chamber of Commerce is the weekly room luncheon held on Tuesday at which various subjects touching on community and city interests are discussed and which noted speakers often appear."
Freshmen Engineers Take Intelligence Tests
All freshmen engineers were required to take intelligence tests yesterday which were sent out by it. Lt. Col. Hammond was a part of Technology. These tests are a part of an extensive research being made among a large number of the big universities of the country. Last week was the first time they were given.
Questions were given in algebra, arithmetic, geometry, physics, and in general information, as well as psychological questions. A careful record of the results of these tests will be kept. Then a comparison of these records with the actual class records the students make later in the University will be made. An attempt will be made to observe active life and these observations will also be checked up with these tests. The accuracy of the tests can thus be effectively judged.
The papers have not been looked over, so that no statistics are available as yet.
About two hundred girls signed up to play basketball this year. Practice will start as soon as a floor can be secured, so will be next week or immediately after Christmas. The girls will have an in-room physical education, is planning on having a series of inter-class games, and also intermural games. The girls' volleyball ball tournament will start Thursday night, and will be finished Friday. The girls will be opened of next week. This will be opened to the public.

"STATE SPORT WEEK"
WILL TRAIN ATHLETES
Short Course Planned to Train High School Players and Coaches
ALLEN TO BE DIRECTOR
Athletic Stars Will Teach Classes, Is Plan; Course to Last One Week
"State Sport, Week," an athletic feature designed especially for the aid of high school coaches and players throughout the state, as well as prospective officials for athletic contests, will be incorporated as one of the accords in a statement of athletics, Dr. F. C. Allem, director of athletics, announced today.
To Debate Japanese Question
A debate will be put on Wednesday night in Professor Shinun's class in Debating. The subject will be "is Resolved that 120,000 Japanese should be admitted annually to the United States." This subject has been discussed as a possible one, in substance with the president of the Women's Debating Team which is to meet a similar team from Manhattan this year.
Dr. Allen will have general supervision over the courses, and will probably teach the officiating courses as he has been on the list of acceptable fcals for Missouri Valley Conference contests for twelve years. For playing and coaching, the star K. U. players will serve as instructors, each teaching classes composed of 20 students in each position. In addition to lectures, "laboratory work" on the gridiron and the court will be offered.
A short course in football playing and another in basketball, and courses in coaching and officiling both sports will be offered according to the pres- scription. The course will be week, and would be offered immediately after Thanksgiving—a dull period for athletics, when no collegiate sport would be interfered with. In the demand is sufficient, courses in basketball and track may be included also.
No other university of the country has ever attempted such an ambitious plan of educating an entire state in athletics, it was said today. The short course and the very nature of it are enough to get many athletes to come here to school, in addition to elevating athletic standards of the state.
Is Considered Best of Mystery and Morality Plays
"State Sport Week!" is receiving the complete support of the Alumni club, and county clubs are urged by the alumni secretary to boost the plan at home, explaining the idea especially to athletes...
"Students must start now to sell the proposition thoroughly ever the year, so as to increase success the first year, the fall of '21." Dr. Allen says. Another plan to promote closer integration is to offer high schools of the state, according to Dr. Allen, to make a general rule to let high school coaches or bona fide players into athletic contests here, without charges—as guests of the association. In addition to that factor, Dr. Allen also stresses that raise the standard of athletes in high schools by giving the players an added incentive to see big games.

SPEAK TO EVERYONE IS RULE TOMORROW
Hello Day Will Do Away With Conventions for at Least One Day
LINDLEY
APPROVES PLAN
University is One Big Family,
Says Chancellor; "Express
Fine Spirit."
Custom and convention, those two businessmen of the bashful man or woman, go by the wayside tomorrow. Shall old properties that demand an introduction before one person may speak to another will be forgiven for the day at least, and everybody—that is, everybody who claims to be the student body or faculty of the time—will be forgiven everybody else all day, even though one wrears out vocal cords with shouting "Hello."
The first annual "Hello Day," by both student government organizations, has the full approval of Chancellor E. H. Linney, the chair of the student body also on the Hill. It has in its nature of a celebration, according to the plans laid down for the day. It's just a matter of forgetting those little smobbish ideas that everyone one all day.
"The University of Kansas is a big family billed with an abundance of good will. 'Hello Day' will afford opportunity for cordial and courteous expression of their fine spirit which previews on Mount Oucet. He be a good neighbor and help make 'Hello Day' a success," she concludes Lanclair迪利克雷说, "morning concerning the importance and future results of the day.
Dr. Alberta Corbin said: "It is an excellent idea. It has often been suggested that the women on the Hill, who have learned to forget conventions and speak when meeting on the campus without waiting for an introduction. That should further the general friendly attitude of our students in storage in our university communities."
"Class and group distinction should be avoided as implied in a general friendly spirit. Close association with a comparatively small group is perfectly natural among a student body, but should not preclude a friendly interest in each and every student in the University.
"I think 'Hello Day' is a movement in the right direction. A woman who limits her acquaintance to a small group loses something out of her own life and fails to serve the community as she should. Too many students forget the importance of gaining a wide range of experience from students. 'Hello Day' should do much to enhance the acquaintanceship of the women on the Hill, and I'm sure they will take advantage of the golden opportunity."
