GREETINGS SENT BY N. Y ALUMNI TO K. U.
"Old Grads" Adopt Resolutions Congratulating Chancellor on Success
Endorse Loyalty Movement
ciation
Reunion Largest Ever Held by New York Alumni Asso-
"We alumi shall always think of the University of Kansas as a little the best in the world," says the last of a set of resolutions prepared at a meeting and dinner of the New York alumni of the University. "We hope to be joined half as kindly toward the 'old grades' we do towards the University."
The resolutions, prepared by a committee with Herbert Flint, 147 as chairman, are addressed to Chancellor Frank Strong. They congratulate the staff on their growth of the institution during his guidance, and extend assurances of support and co-operation to his successor. And also express the pleas that the graduates that the Chancellor to remain with the University.
A plea for more money from the legislature, so that the faculty of the University may be at or merely adequately paid for it, services, but also at a need of increased number of students, is included in the resolutions.
The Loyalty movement is endorsed by the New Yorkers, who, too, say "Put K. U. First." The death of Uncle Jimmy Green is mourned by his family and members of which are "proud to be numbered among 'his boys'".
This reunion was the largest ever held in New York by the University Alumni Association, and plans are being made to hold the meeting next year in larger quarters than have metefore been used.
The resolutions in part, follow:
Chancellor Frank Strong, University of Kansas
We, the University of Kansas alumni at the fifteenth annual dinner of the Alumni Association of New York City, send sincere greetings to our Alma Mater. We will be on a period of new growth and re-construction pledge her our renewed loyalty.
To your successor, as yet unnamed, we extend assurances of our heartiest co-operation and support.
As your long and honorable term of office as Chancellor nears its close, we take this opportunity to congratulate you upon the memorable growth of the University under your guidance.
In the new period of University life facing your successor, you may be required by the last Legislature toward providing salaries adequate to maintain the standards of the university and extensively supplemented.
A lessening of pressure on the now sorely oversteated faculty is greatly to be desired. It would therefore seem that the present overcrowding of classes, coupled with the tremendous increase in attendance imminent next fall, might well be made the basis of a new faculty management mechanism for additions to the instructional force.
In the death of Uncle Jimmy Green the members of the New York Association share with the University family a deep sense of loss, keenly personal with many of us who are proud to be numbered among "his boys." To all of us who knew him, the Universi-
akn.
We heartily endorse the Loyalty Movement, and trust that the apparent emphasis laid upon the provisions for athletes will exert a stimulating influence on matters of general student welfare as embodied in plims for a Student Union and Commons meeting. We want the spirit of unity and cooperation among students, faculty and alumni. We too say, "PUT K. U. FIRST."
In conclusion, may we say,
more informally, that we hope
he present day students feel half
kindly toward "Old Grade",
or removed from the pleasant
touch of the experience.
Toward the University which
she always think of as a
title the best in the world.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 27, 1920.
Dr. Bacon Urges Uniform Dress for K. U. Women
"I wish the women's organizations would take the matter up," said Dr Martha Bacon today in discussing the uniform dress proposition. "It seems to me that this is a big step in the right direction. It would climb to the priority in dress and would bring a true democratic spirit to the University."
"Girls do not realize," continued Dr. Bacon "that they are handsome enough to wear simple clothes. The uniform dresses will be designed for everyone, and will fit fitting lines. One of the chief objections to uniformity seems to be that everyone will look alike," said Bacon, "but individuality in clothing must also be maintained and of course the little personal teaches would not be eliminated."

New York City…*next year the K. U. Club of New York is planning to hold its annual meeting in the Hippodrome or in Madison Garden. Ordinary business for such numbers as were present at the afternoon Friday evening, April 24, when Mr. Henry Joseph presented "resoluted," dined, danced and had a good time. Governor Henry J. Allen was a guest and spoke briefly of the work of the K. U. men in the coal fields, and Kansas Industrial Court, where he met with many colleagues.
Toasts? Ah, here's where Mr. Whitman qualified as the ultimate diplomat. He had no speaker's table and initiated a self-introductory round-robin which gave everybody a chance to own an album. As a result every "grind" was that at least a few extra "well chosen works" were given. Those who spoke at greater length were: Marshall A. Barber of the Rockefeller Foundation, Mrs. Gertrude Hill of New York, Mr. William Reddin of the Red Cross won the war in Italy but insisted that Governor Allen who was an unexpected guest to most of the company, speak instead on the Red Cross in France or the Industrial Court, E. S. Elesson of the Institute for Science and Technology in New York, many of whom came as near starvation in their half bedrooms as did their fathers on the plains, and W. Y. Morgan of the Hutchinson News, who came all the way from New York to the University alumn of the Million Dollar Fund and enlist their co-operation.
18 Use success question when "Chuck" Dolde led the "Rock Challis," Harold Rock started the songs, Clive Dietrich sat at the piano and Russell R. Whittle sat at the piano.
Entertainment? In addition to a get-to-gather reception before the dinner and the dancing afterwards Miss Rose Haworth, accompanied by Philip Steven, sang two songs, Miss Adale Henry, assisted by Mr. Kubik, a New York violinist, and Miss Clara Duval, a violinist. The duvals also allude. Also, Margaret Sumner, a Red Crash oversa worker, gave two readings.
there, as she said, to see her K. U. "grandchildren." With Governor Alen were Dave Mulvane of Topeka, R. Kirkwood of the Kansas City Star, R. Wiggins of Louisville, Van Der Vries, formerly professor in the department of Mathematics, came on from Cleveland to attend the dinner. Next year's guest committee is planning to invite the entire K. U. faculty, the legislature, and perhaps many alumni from New England, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were there.
The new officers of the New York alumni association are Dr. Dean Foster, president, John P. Shea, vice president, and Allen Wilbur, secretary-treasurer. Seven ex-Kanuls cubs, only two of whom are in the newspaper game, had a reunion alliance of Louis LaCroze of the Associated Press, Louis Lacross with the New York Public Library, Herbert Fertl publicity manager of the National Thrift Bank Corporation Glendon Allvine, with the Jones Price Jones Corporation, Peg Vaughn of the United Press, John C. Madden and Mary Smith with Edwin Bird and Lucille Nowlin, assistant of Phil American Express Company Messenger.

Eight Men Invited to Address Graduating Class of University
FACULTY COMMITTEE WANT NEW SPEAKERS
Not One Agrees to Come
Professor MacMurray Says an Entirely New Slate Will be Considered
Just who the commencement speaker this year is to be is the on important question that is bothering the faculty committee at present. AL Gore has been invited to represent national reputation as public speakers, have been invited to address the graduating class of the University of Kansas, June 6, not a one can come, according to Prof. Arthur Meeur-Munster. The speaker's speaker's committee, this morning.
"An entirely new state is being conferred now," Professor MacMurray said, "and we are trying to get the best speaker possible for the address. In the eight, we have considered men of statesmen, political and ministerial type but have been unsuccessful in all the classes. The committee is now working to assess the ability to put across an address suitable for the graduating class."
The men who have been invited to coe here to give the address, according to Professor MacMurray, are: Herbert Hoover, former federal Food Administrator, Albert J. Beverage, ex-senator of Indiana, Theoree E. Burton, ex-governor of Ohio, and now special correspondent for Time, Franklin L.秘书, secretary of the Int'l Otto H. Kahn, prominent banker of New York, W. N. Ferris, ex-governor of Michigan, W. O. Thompson, president of Ohio State University, and Dr. Charles F. Aked, of Kansas City, one of the most prominent speakers. Practically all the men sent back telegrams saying "Impossible" without giving any particular reason. But at least three or four of the men will be because of the Republican National Convention which comes about the time of commencement week.
The speaker for the baccalaureate address, will be Bishop James Wise, of Topeka. Bishop Wise has spoken in Lawrence several times and his book, *A Conversation of Teachers*, is known here. The subject of his address has not a n.a. yet been announced.

Bacteriology Students Study Influenza Germs
As special problems, students in the Bacteriology department have been doing research work, in an attempt to find the origin of the influenza germ. The students were sent to the University Hospital where the germs were obtained from the influenza patients there.
The tests were made in the biotechnology laboratory in Snow Hall. According to one of the students, many different kinds of organisms have been found but as yet the problem is unsolved.
JUGO-SLAVIA TO REDS?
Bolshevist Revolution is Result of Internal Unrest, Unconfirmed Report Says
Reports of grave internal troubles in Jujo-Slavia have been current for several days. Telegraph and telegram messages from the Juno-Slav delegates in asking postponement of settlement of the Adriatic question at the council of premiers gave internal unrest as one reason why they waited the delay.
London, April 27—A Polish bishop revolution has broken in Jujgo Slavia, a news agency dispatch quote, the Pridida correspondent of the Rome newspaper Massaggero said today.
Hundreds have been killed, the disbanded said. In Belgrade the government was reported to be protecting itself with machine guns. The disbanded was unconfirmed. Twenty per cent of the 18 were killed in Liavogna.
Class of 1920 to Decide On a Suitable Memorial
What will the class of 1920 leave to keep its memory green? This is the question Seniors will decide soon. The class of 1899 left a sun dial; the library clock was given by the class of 1874. Then it was given the class of 1915; and the cement sent by the class of 1914. Most of the graduates have contributed to the student loan fund, which has been growing since the beginning made by the class of 1894. The classes of 1875 and 1883 left their memorial in the hall of the campus library. Every class from 1894 to 1901 has contributed to the loan fund.
The classes of 1910 and 1916 followed the example of the many classes gone by. The class of 1917 addeed the profits made on cups and gowns to the memorial fund. The class of 1919, intend to place a bronze tablet in the proposed University memorial building.
K. U. TO LOSE FOUR OF TEACHING STAFF
Better Positions Call University Instructors to Other Universities and Colleges
Four more K. U. instructors will leave for better positions at the close of summer school. Associate Prof. F. C. Dockery of the department of Economics, and Associate Prof. J. Leayan University; Associate Prof. Wm. Duffus of the department of economics to the College of Business Administration at Boston Massachusetts, while Dr. C. A. Nelson and Mr. Cornelius Gouwens, both of the dept., will go to the Western Reserve and Iowa State College respectively.
Professor Dockeray gave the following reasons for leaving the University of Kansas:
"First of all I am getting a 50 percent increase in salary. Further I will have less hours of actual teaching time and consequently more liberty for research work. In connection with this I might mention that the facilities for research work are much better in my new position."
"Dr. C. A. Nelson and Mr. Cornelius Gouwens have resigned their positions in the department of mathematics to accept positions at much higher institutions, including Iowa State College. The department is having much difficulty in finding candidates for the positions at the salaries offered here. The following letter was received in reply to an email from a former University of Kansas student who is now studying at one of the larger universities:
Prof. C. H. Ashen, head of the department of mathematics, had the following to say concerning the resignations from his department:
"I shall take some unskilled labor job before I will teach large and numerous classes, at a salary insufficient for a married man. From experience I know that I can get short-term employment with responsibility and worry, and some time for research at such a job, than as instructor in a large university.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Luther Hangen, Plain Tales Editor of the Kansas and Editor of the 1920 Jayhawkner, returned from Osawatonna last night but was forced to leave for Jefferson City, Mo. before daybreak. It is not known whether Mr. Hangen will be back in school soon or not, in the meantime the Plain Tales Column still suffers for lack of attention.
Reversion To Type?
This is what happens to "Sunday school" boys after they leave school, as recited by Mary Smith in regard to her 1920s K. U. alumni reunion in New York.
Willard Hilton, of the State Geological Survey is on two or three months leave for business near Halton Mountain Woods, in Chase county.
"All together we had a keen time and our antics might have alooed us. We all had the joy of a curate of Grees Church, a K. U. grad Jazzing with a Y. W. secretary."
Work on the Follies has rapidly progressed and a satisfactory dress rehearsal was held last night. The doors will be open at 8:15 c'clock this evening. A second dress light Lane" made the best showing in the dress rehearsal last evening.
PRICE IS LOWERED FOR SENIOR ROBES
Two Hundred Seniors Attend to
Formal Discharge of Cap
and Gown Committee
Tuesday Noon
Will Turn Back $1.50
Peppery Meeting Turns Uniforms to Extension Department; Probes into Invitations
Two hundred seniors apent the neon-hou today in order to attend the formal discharge of the cap and gown committee and the turning over of the matter of graduation garb to the Prof. Harold G. Ingham of the University extension division. Professor Ingham will refund a sum close to $1.50 to each senior who paid for the use of caps and gowns, making the cost not much more than $2.50.
A second investigation, that of the invitation committee will now, it appears, claim the interest of seniors. The committee, Kettering, A. J. Grannoff, and Chaudt II. Vohreshes, elected by the meeting, is to confer with the invitation committee and uncertain the reasons for exceeding expensive prices of invitations.
NEW ELECTION DISCUSSED
The meeting was full of breese and no supper argument, much of it on the old gown committee. Both sides united in condemning the old cap and gown committee because of the exorbitant prices asked, but differed widely as to the manner of the meeting. A motion to allow the members of the committee to vote on the gown committee rejected, as was another providing for the appointment of the investigation committee by the president instead of its election by the class. Wint Smith, senior class president provided at the meeting. The forthcoming discussion on several occasions, both sides showing their disapproval of student graft and their desire to clean up conditions at the University. The suggestion of Professor Ingham for "student activities conducted by the service" met with much applauses.
TURN BUSINESS TO INGHAM
Professor Ingham stated that he had thought the caps and gowns of his students and the students as low as $25; he found the committee had incurred some expense and that it would be necessary to raise the price slightly above the $250 specified by the concessionaire. The caps and gowns may be placed now at Professor Ingham's office in Praise Hall. It will be difficult to provide more than 300 caps and gowns, it was said by Omar D. Gregory, the professor who was present at the meeting.
The motion to investigate the invitation committee was made by A. J. Granoff for the stated purpose of "getting rid of the rest of the graft" on the hill. It was seconded by Pat Pedroba, the committee chair, who said he welcomed such an investigation and would cooperate with it. Much discussion took place over the question of whether the committee should be appointed by the president or elected by the committee, and a desire to appoint the committee was over-rated and the three men were elected.
America May Refuse to Accept Armenia Mandate
Washington, April 27—Refusal of the Allied proposal that the Unit of States accepts the mandate of Avian Immunization Director Hitechock administration spokesman declared he did not believe the American people would be able to resist a vaccine.
Added to Republican comment who declared the plan was an attempt to "wish on us the poochouse of the world" Hitchcock's attitude was believed to indicate that Congress will never give its consent to the project. Senators take the position that allatiemen have stripped the near East from their control now offer the United States the mandate of Armenia.
This mandate would involve America in large expenditures and possible war, it is held.
Date rule will be suspended tonight for all those attending the Follies, Mary Olsen, Acting Pres. W. S. G. A.
