JOURNALISM SORORITY HAS LARGE PROGRAM
Occupational Bureau, Code o Ethics, Alumnae Branches Theta Sigma Phi Plan
New Chapters Organized
National Directory Carries the Names of Nearly One Thousand Members
(E. L. M.)
The establishment of an occupational bureau, a definite organization of the alumnae and the decision-makers in forming a code of ethics for the profession were the principal results of the second national convention of Theta Sigma Phi held at the University of Wisconsin April 29 to May 1.
The occupational bureau will be in a central city, in charge of a director. All women of the profession of journalism as well as members of Theta Sigma Phi will have the use of this bureau. The organization of the alumnae will be based upon the plan of the Institute of Journalism, and will be subject to some modifications. The aim of this plan is to put the profession of journalism in the same status with the professions of law and medicine.
A committee was appointed to confer with a committee from Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity for the profession. Because of interest manifested by women journalists in other countries in the activities of Theta Sigma Pi, the committee was as favoring international expansion.
Sixty-three delegates and members representing the nineteen active and three alumnaes chapters were in attendance at the Madison convention. Lee A. White of the Detroit News and Zona Gale, an honorary member of the Wisconsin chapter were the principal speakers. The national directory which was printed by the Kansas University press, and distributed at the convention shows a total membership of nearly a thousand members many of whom are actively engaged in the profession.
New chapters of Theta Sigma Phi granted at the convention and which will be installed the last of this week. New York; Syracuse University, New York; University of Kentucky, Louisville; Knox College, Galesburg, IL; and Lawrence College, Appleton, has been organized in New York city.
Among the alumnus who spoke during the morning season of "Alumnus Day" were: Vina Lindsay, of the Elizabeth College of the Minnesota Tribune; Elisabeth Leitzach of the McClurg Publishing Company; Florence Collins of the Orange-Judd papers; Louise Davis of the Kansas City Post; David Davis of the Kansas City Post.
Theta Sigma Phi was organized April 8, 1909 at the University of Washington. Epsilon chapter was installed here in 1914 by Helen Rhoda Hoopes and Caroline Greer. Fifteen members joined the chapter a previous chapter. Election to membership is based on the quality of work done in the department. Honorary members of this chapter are: Mrs. L. N. Flint, Helen M. Bennett, Mrs. Don Carlos, Dana Gatin, Effe Clauser, Lillian Green, Mrs. Jarshall, Amy Perry, John McKee, Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, Katherine Prosser, Nan Willis Sperry, Kate Stephens, Agnes Thompson, Margaret Lynn, and Rose Morgan.

CLUB WOMEN REQUEST SCHOOL DORMITORIES
Federation Meeting at Hays Makes Resolutions For Women's Residence Halls
That the women of Kansas are alive to the housing situation is shown by resolutions presented at the state meeting of the Kansas Federation of Women at Hays, May 10-12. Dr. Alberta Corbin, adviser of women of the University and Mrs. Mary Pierce Van Tale, dew of women at the state agricultural college, will attend a session to explain the needs at the state colleges. Following resolutions were adopted by the convention:
"Whereas, many of our girls are sent out of the state because better college homes are provided in other states and
"Wheras, we believe that the girls of our state should have provision for them," he said. "Be it resolved, that we unite in requesting the legislature to provide halls for residence for our girls in institutions of higher learning, and that we declare this the most important step in preparing women before the federation, and that we pledge our active support to the committee on halls of residence."
GLICK WRITES BOOK
Sophomore Turns in 140 Pages Illustrations and Maps for Thesis
(By C. O.)
A complete book, 140 pages with preface, dedication, index, maps, and sixty-nine first hand illustrations—all for a term paper. This is the work of Perry A. Glick, a sophomore in the college from Hampton, Mo., and Dr. Grace Charles in the geography" under Dr. Grace Charles in the department of botany.
"Tropical Agriculture of the World" is the title of the work which covers a discussion of Florida, Australia, Southern Asia, Africa, South America, Central America, the Philippines, their natural products, sexyen, inhabitants, and the possibilities of their future development.
The book contains seventy pages of carefully prepared discussion on the tropical agriculture of about twelve or fifteen countries of the world. The photographs illustrate the text, many of which are quite valuable.
William Beebe, nationally known naturalist and contributor to the American Magazine, sent Mr. Glick a copy of his book, Hugh Taylor, missionary from Slam, furnished several more. Other photographs were obtained from the Florida University Extension Division of Agriculture; and from the University of Kansas; from the American Zoological Society of New York; from the Missouri Botanical Garden; from the Wax Department; and from the American Magazine.
The book contains a brief discussion by Kermit Roosevelt on the agriculture of the tropical countries of South America, and by Gwen Lawrence, formerly vice-governor of the Philippines also has written an interesting discussion on the agriculture of these islands. The topic was assigned to Mr. Glick just before Easter. He finished the work and turned it in the first of this week.
"It is by far the most complete and elaborate term thesis I have ever had submitted to me," said Doctor Charles today. "Any student, underclassman is to be highly complimented on such a careful study."
A convocation is announced for 10:30 Tuesday, May 18, in Robinson Gymnastium.

SPRING WORM PESTS ARE KILLING PLANTS
Chinch Bugs Will be More Num erous This Year Says Hungerford
Bv C. O.
"the pests which are doing the most harm to flowers, fruits, and grains right now are the currant worms and cut worms," said Prof H. B. Hungerford of the department of entomology today.
There seems to be no effective way of killing them after they get started in the spring. The best way is, to place the buildings places in the fields in winter.
"The chich bugs, the great pests of wheat and corn fields will probably be worse this year than they were last," said Professor Hungerford, who has great numbers of them in the first generation lived through the winter."
Cut worms can be killed by using bran mash composed of one pound of paris green, twenty pound of bran, two pounds of pea and three gallons of water. This mixture should be spread over the ground at sundown just before the worms come to the surface. Several times may be made if one is not effective.
The currant worms are the larvies of the wasp commonly called a sawfly, which belongs to the same family as the rose-fly. These worms are quickly defoliating the currant and gooseberry bushes, leaving only a few leaves. They can even yet in fruit they can be easily killed by using a mixture of arsenic of lead and lime, one part to nine, and dusting it on the bushes. If the fruit is mature straight lime or black leaf forty, one part to 600, are good remedies. White helleboris is also a good stock remedy. The effects of this herb occur in twenty-four hours so that the fruit will not be injured.
"The damp weather this spring, however, is not favorable to their development," continued Professor Hungerford, "because it promotes the growth of the white fungus which kills the chinch bug."
College Maid's Ideas Revert to HomeTown
Now is the time of year when term papers are being handled in and examinations are drawing near. Naturally K. U. maidens, while counting the weeks, days, or minutes, according to their dispositions, are turning their thoughts towards home, some with a feeling of relief, some with pain at leaving a newly found soul-mate, and some with horror at the thought of stagnation. The meetings set out are...
Topeka Girl (Just bead to see two weeks): "It'll be glad to see mother, but after a month, mother doesn't speak well." She each other as much as at first."
Eudora girl (Belle of freshman class): "Do I want school to end? Well, I should say not. Canning fruit has no charms for me."
Wichita Girl (With vampish bangs): "School can't be over too soon to suit me. This place is simply dead, but at home, our crowd. well..."
Kansas City Girl (With seven silk dresses): "School might just as well continue. The Blue Goose is closed. The Blue Lantern is getting the crowd."
Hutchinson Girl (Phi Beta Kappa)
"Just two weeks more and I can sleep until ten every morning."
MOTHERS ARE GUESTS AT Y.W.C.A. LUNCHEON
"Must Have Christian Leaders to Save World," Says Dr.
Braden
Mothers and house chaperones were the guests of honor at the weekly W. Y. C. A. lunchon at Myers Hall this poem. The tables were decorated with spring flowers and favors for the mothers were small bunches of sweet peas. The Delta Tau orchestra played.
Doctor Braden, the speaker of the hour, emphasized the present need of the world for Christian leaders. Too many of the present day leaders see only their "mall group" instead of the larger whole." We can never keep all the men fighting against one group of men fighting against the men of another group," he said. "The specific demand is for Christian leaders and unless these are furnished we are going backward. We can no longer live in a world of self-ishness. It is necessary that college people develop a feeling of the common man" and that they put into their work this spirit of a broader vision.
"Women hold the center of power" he continued. "When the home collapses all civilization falls." Back of every Christian leader there has been a Christian mother and a mother's influence is the greatest influence in a person's life. Give us the power to make sure you will contribute the ideals and influences that will patch together the broken strings of civilization."
The last weekly lunch this year will be held next Friday noon and the Rev. E. A. Blackman of Chanute will be the speaker.
MOVIES FOR LOYALTY
"Women of the University are vitally interested in the success of the Loyality Movement as the men should be, and should show their interest in attending the K. U. Movement, and acting president of W. S. G. A."
Women are Urged to Support Movement by Large Attendance
There is a two fold purpose of the Movies: To bring the movies of school activities to the students of the University, and to make possible the films of all films taken during the school year. Many high schools throughout the state have already requested that they be permitted to exhibit the pictures in order to stimulate interest in the University for the fall term.
Miss Olsen urges all women to attend. They can do nothing better to further the Loyalty Movement and show their appreciation of the men's work than by a record breaker. She is desired that all women wear arm bands and there be an exhibition of old time pep and college spirit.
Two exhibitions will be given in Fraser Monday, May 17 at 7 and 9 o'clock.
End Comes to Member of Faculty of School of Law at Colorado Springs
PROF. W. E. HIGGINS DIES UNEXPECTEDLY
Planned Return in Autumn
Degrees Received From Kansas in 1888 and 1894—Joined the Faculty in 1904
The flag on Fraser is at half must today in honor of William Edward Higgins, professor of law of the University of Kansas who died very suddenly Thursday, May 13th at Colorado Springs.
Professor Higgins was graduated from the college in 1888 and taught school for some time attaining his degree from the School of Law in 1894. He practiced law until 1899 and then began an instructor in Law. In 1913 and 1914 Professor Higgins was upon leave of absence to study and investigate the English courts for the American Judicature Society. Upon his return his health having been undernrained either by the English civil engineer or by the businessman, spend a year in Colorado before taking up his work in the University. After several years' work he found it necessary to return to Colorado where he has spent most of his time in the last five years. His plans have continued this fall, as he had seemingly recovered his health.
Professor Hilgins was born in Rush County, Indiana. May 6, 1865, and was married to Ella Marie Anderson of Morgranville, Kansas, in 1899. He was president of the Kansas State Bar Association in 1918 and a member of Phil Delta Theta, Phil Delta Phi Delta Kappa. He was prominent in Medical circles, having recently been elected to the thirty third degree.
While in school Professor Higgins was active in athletics, being a prominent football man. After his graduation he was interested in tennis. He always was an expert fisherman. He and his family have spent eighteen consecutive summers in their cottage in Colorado.
Professor Higgins family has resided in Lawrence; his son Sexten is attending the University. Two other children, Donald and Dorothy, are seniors in the Lawrence High School. The students have been made for the funeral.
The late Dean Green of the School of Law held Professor Higgins in the highest esteem as one of his boys who had accomplished much.
"His heart was always with the school and its work. It was his hope to regain his health and take up his work here again. Though personally not in contact with Professor Higgins I felt that I knew him through his influence in the School of Law," said Prof. R. F. Rice.
"I never knew a man of more stellar worth. He had few intimate friends, but those were closer than a brother. Professor Higgins was a true man, industrious, ambitious and kind, high ideals. He has been my closest friend since boyhood," said R.E. Melvin a prominent lawyer of Lawrence.
Jayhawkers Expected To be Here Thursday
"All Jayhawkers will be shipped by express and will arrive at the latest by Thursday, May 20," said Edgar Hollis, Business Manager, today. "The first fifty books which will probably arrive day or Saturday, will be used to collect advertising and some of them will be placed in the library at Oslo and at the Service Clerk Store." Those can be ordered at either of these places or at Fraser Check Stand. All Students are asked to bring their receipts when purchasing their books in order to avoid any confusion.
Art Department Shows Former Student's Work
Fern Edie Knacht of St. Louis who received her Bachelor of Painting degree from the University of Kansas in 1911 will exhibit her work Saturday May 15, in the Art department on the third floor of East Administration building. The exhibit will be open until after commencement.
Mrs. Knecht spent the summer painting in New York and most of it on a trip she did at this time. Her work is entirely of landscape scenes done in oil.
Defective Pipes Cause Chemistry Explosion
Gas escaping from a defective pipe under a chemistry desk, according to Prof. F. B. Dains of the chemistry department was the probable cause of the explosion in the organic chemistry laboratory about 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. No one was injured.
The gas collecting under the desk became ignited, blowing both doors off and one crashing through a n desk across the isle. The flames were fed from the cabinet through an alcohol, broken by the heat, scattered blazing alcohol over the neighboring desks. About fifty students were in the laboratory at the time and the fire was soon extinguished. Fifteen dollars will cover taxes to both desk and apparatus according to Professor Dains.

In one of the journalism classes this morning one of the professors was trying to find out the events that scheduled to take place this week.
"The only thing that's wrong with women trying to get out a paper," said one Theta Sigma Phi this morning "is that every time you have to call a man up, his wife is sure to answer the phone and always insists on knowing exactly what you want and who you are."
SPANISH ACT PLEASES
Parts Successfully Interpreted In First Presentation of Spanish Play
"El Punao de Rosas," (the hand of roses) a Spanish operetta produced by the students of the department of Spanish, Thursday night, was a wonderful success, and demonstrated the high order of work accomplished, both in the mastery of the Spanish and in the interpretation of the plot. Last night was the first occasion a Spanish play has been presented at K. U., and it was well received, and an ence which overflowed the Little Theatre and the corridors of Green Hall.
The operetta was a charming sketch of Spanish literature, illustrating the manners and customs of the people. Its interpretation was especially pleasing, with its setting of charming costumes. The leads were carried by the musicians, who directed the well-to-do farmer, and Fernando V. Bermede, as Targuo, the poor but honest rural, who saved Rosario from the intrigues of Pepe, Prof. Joose M. Albadelago, Miss Shores carried many difficult soles with ease, and was a true representative of Senorita, Mr. Beremede, with his mannerist Spanish language, showed his talents as an actor to fine advantage. Mr. Albadelago was a master at lovemaking. Leland Shout, as the father of Rosario, with Dorothy Matticks as Carmen, the charming cousin, composed the principal admirably. Miss Shore presented in her presentation of the Spanish fandango. Others in the cast showed careful preparation.
Costumes were designed and executed by Misq May Gardner. The music was directed by Gustav Sodorland, assisted by Beula Royer, Víenca Agacoli and Marcelino Domingo.
Twenty members of Co-lero Lo Río the Spanish Club of Westport High School, Kansas City, Mo., with their instructor, Mr. Phillips, attended the play. This was the first presentation of this play in the United States

JAYHAWKS BEAT FARMERS,9 TO 2
Heavy Hitting by Kansas Made Easy Game, Although Ag-gies Scored First Runs
Uhrlaub Was at His Best
Largest Crowd of Season Witnesses K.U. Milk Aggie Cow at McCook Field
By M. H. S.
All the horseshoes in the Missouri Valley couldn't have helped the Arienne nine yesterday in the 9 to 2 contest in favor of Kansas, even if the lucky strike emblems had been strung from the fence to the hilltop of Oread. Luck was coming the Jaayhawkway on me Cookfield. Magrath said to be the finest pitcher in the Valley, met his when he ran up against Uhrlaub, who pitched a two hit game and struck out fourteen Arienne battles. Heavy hitting on the Kansas of the Jaayhawks helped the Kansas pitcher win the one-sided game.
Fame started the Jayhawk's way after the Manhattanites had firmed with fortune for two runs in the first. Things looked serious for a moment when Quinlan hit a three bagger which brought Cowell in and with the aid of an error by Murphy, gave them their first and last score.
Three strikeouts by Urblaub in the second started things for Kansas and in the third innning, an error by Mercem sent Wood to first, who later travelled home on Murphy's homerun. Safe hits by Bunn, Lonberg and Coward in Dodd's choice and error, brought in Lonberg and Lonborg in the fourth.
A gift by the Aggie twirler in the next inning landed l嵌inger at burger in who later stole second and came in on Bunn's single, which placed Bunn on third through errors by E. Cowell and Quinlan.
Drives along the field base line by Smith and Uhlraub were good for two bases each in the sixth, and scored Smith while Uhlraub reached the plate when Guilfoyle dropped the ball. Wood reached first when Dickerson muffed the ball, and later stole second. Murphy gave a life at first on the ground before his death. Wood at the plate. A base on balls to Gray sent Murphy to second who scored while Gray was tagged in trying to steal second.
In the tight innings, Murphy stole second while Marrath for the second time during the game, held the ball.

SIDELEIGHTS
In spite of Urlahra's pitching, Murhay's home run, and Cowgill's and durphy's stolen bane, one Kanan was able to catch the ball he the game. He caught a all which was coming straight at the rightened reporter. In thankking Mr. Hill, the young lady said she had on the shoulder of the team, the aschell might have torn it.
The Pi K. A.'s don't believe in paying out good money to sea base-ball game. Why should they when the team is so far away and there is so much space on the roof?
