FREEDOM---HODDER
University Professors not Free to Discuss Current Questions in Outside World
"Low salaries are not the only reason for the present wholesale desection of the teaching profession," says Prof. F. B. Hodder in the May number of the Graduate Magazine, in an argument for a more democratic type of university administration.
"Inquiries made with a view of filling vacancies in the University faculty disclose the fact that competent men cannot be had at any price," continues Professor Hodder. "The tide cannot be turned until there is an improvement in the position of the teacher, until he ceases to be regarded as hired and its given reason." It follows that a prize to which he devotes his life,
Professor Hodder explains the truth of Governor Allen's comment, that there was no college professor upon either of the industrial commissions appointed by President Wilson, by the assertion, that "university professors are not free to discuss political questions in the outside world unless their opinions conform to prevailing standards."
The May number of the Graduate Magazine also contains an answer by Prof R. D. O'Leary to the article "Injured Children Entitled 'The Chancellor to Be.'"

MEDICS PUSH SCHOOL
Medical Association Aims Make Profession a Live Factor
"To push the School of Medicine in the University and to promote anything connected with medicine is the primary aim of the Medical Association of the medics at the University of Kansas," said Duanne Varn Horn, president of the association. "We have meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. Which is likely to talk from the doctors or a smoker and a general discussion by the men who are members."

OREAD NOTES
Are You An O. K. K?
The great intellectual values received from an education at Oread are recognized by everyone. However, some of the training received outside of class is more valuable—yes, we say this in spite of the fact that this article is to be censured by a teacher—than the classroom work.
To realize fully on all the advantages of Oread, student life must be fully entered into by all the students. An example of the failure of some of the students to enter into valuable activities is that all of the students have yet entered the "Old Klothes Club" which was recently organized.
Not over twenty-five per cent of the students at Oread are making their way through school. Some of the remaining seventy-five per cent can aford to wear good clothes all the time, doing this, however, they are showing a snobbish spirit that most Oread students disapprove of.
The true idea of democracy can be furthered, and a big step in the lowering of the price of clothing brought about, by the wearing of old clothes, is the part of both those who can afford new clothes and those who cannot.

ALUMNI SECRETARY REPORTS MEETING
Delegates Representing Colleges From Maine to California
Attend
Miss Agnes Thompson, Alumni Secretary, has just returned from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she has been attending the Alumni Secretaries' Meeting. About fifty-seven attended, representing colleges from Maine to California and to South Carolina.
The meeting lasted three days, with a program consisting of papers, addresses and reports from all over the country. One day was devoted to the discussion which voted to combine its advertising under one firm, giving the magazine a circulation of 140,000. Yale and Harvard explained their extensive drive in raising their endowment funds, and Bryn Mawr and Smith their systems for raising their endowment funds, which are permanently growing.
The delegates were entertained in the new Michigan Union building, where they had rooms, their meals, and their conferences. The building is a four story structure, with a grill room, tap room, and swimming pool in the basement. On the first floor are the offices, main dining rooms, the second floor are billiard rooms, reading rooms and an auditorium; the third floor are conference rooms and student offices; and the fourth floor is taken up with bed rooms, accommodating about sixty alumni.
A building such as the Michigan Union, Miss Thompson says, is something that the University of Kansas needs.
The University of Michigan announced new members of Michigan Alumni, its senior honorary organization in an odd manner. The old members dress in Indian garb, paint and feathers, mount horses, take lessons and go after their men. After they have "captured" the new members they lead them through the campus for the people to With the name of the senior organization of the University of Kansas, the Sachems, Miss Thompson thinks Michigan's plan might be adopted here.
