VISITED LEAVENWORTI
Several Prisoners of Interes Seed, Among Them a Millionaire
Warden Spoke to Students
Report the Federal "Pen" More Cleanly Than State Penitentiary
Among the prisoners of interest was a young man who had been a captain in the World War and who also had received five or six decorations for bravery. He then was sent to the cattle king of Illinois, who received a five year sentence for selling tubercular infected cattle to the government. Dorsay, who is reputed to have been worth over a million dollars before his arrest, was noted as a fancy stock ralseer. He was later awarded a hundred hundred head of pure bred cattle.
Students of the sociology classes made a trip Thursday to Leavenworth with Prof. W. B. Botenhafer. They visited both the Federal and State pentimentiens and it was their guidet that the penalties of crime were very severe. Several women had their Bertilion finger prints taken at the state plant in the afternoon. The warden then took them to the grimp and answered all their questions regarding prison management.
In sanitation and cleanliness, the federal "pen" far surpassed that of the state, the visitors said. Improvements in the conditions of the cells are being made in the State Penitentiary.

LEAGUE IS INDEPENDENT
K. U Does not Control Municipal Organization, Although Headquarters Are Here
The League of Kansas Municipalities is a voluntary league of the cities and owners of the state to promote their welfare and forward constructive measures of various kinds. Although the league has its headquarters in the city, municipalities at the University, it is entirely independent of the University.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 23, 1920.
The league has an annual three days convention where city problems of government, sanitation, relation to tate government and other topics are discussed. Each city in the state may end two authorized representatives, but only those who are a member of the league vote. Qualification for membership consists in being in incorporated city in the state. The mall town has the same vote as the

In many states cities may pass any law which does not interfere with state and federal laws, but Kansas cities are limited to police powers. state laws general in form are often less restrictive than state law. The league stands for more powers for the city where not opposed to general state laws.

Cupid Loats On Job;
K. U. Dames Worried
Cupid has been very lax in his attention to the students at the University of Kansas - or perhaps he follows in his footsteps to other elites.
In 1911 only twelve matrimonial alliances were the result of his work at the University, in 1914 twenty-five, and in 1920 just twice the number, fifty married couples in the University of Kansas.
This was brought to the notice of some past members of the K. U. Dames Club who are still helping to organize the club each year.
"The K. U. Dames must organize each year as the married studentseldom stay longer than one year," saysan old member, thereby illustrating that the cupid demands more work when he leads a complex into maritime.

"How big a dare are you willing to take? Women, are the standards of the Hill politics, of student honor, of social relationship in your hands? You must be careful not to certainly have a big place to fill. You cannot be a Christian and sit still. Jesus Christ wants people of action. It is your duty to help remove that which is pulling others out of action if each thing does not affect you.
"We do not want to be called 'goody goody', pious or long faced Christians. We are like Peter, we can not stand to be teased. It takes us to be honest and fitness to stand for the right. The entire mob is often against you."

President Sends Letter to Kansas Democrats Concerning Concert of Nations
WILSON WANTS LEAGUE TO BE MAIN ISSUE
Have Been Losing Interest
Many Democratic Leaders Hav Been Drifting Away From
Washington, April 23—President Wilson has served notice on his party that he will not consent to the League of Nations being made a campaign issue in a mere perfunctory way, in the coming campaign. The President's initiative would be read to the Kansas State Democratic conference at Wichita yesterday.
Commenting on this letter, leading Democratic politicians said that the president intended to insist that the San Francisco convention rely on the League issue almost entirely. Recent many of the Democrats have been drifting away from the League as the pamphlet issue.
Following is the text of President Wilson's letter to the convention which was obtained for the Kansas by Prof. Gillian and directed to the convention for the Associated Press:
Washington.
My dear Mr. Shouse:
12 April, 1920.
Midland Mo. Sherman.
I am very much interested to know that you are leaving on Thursday to attend your state convention, and I gladly avail myself of the opportunity to send a cordial greeting to the Democratic of Kansas. I cannot be beginning to doubt that I will congratulate on the fact that it has come to a year of exceptional opportunity and duty. The issue which it is our duty to raise with the voters of the country involves nothing less than the honor of the United States and the redemption of its most explicit pledge to democracy. We want to win a victory in arms, but also to follow up that victory with the establishment of such a concert of nations as would guarantee the permanence of a peace based on justice. One of the greatest issues that has fallen to a party to fight for, it now falls to the Democratic party to push to victory. This agreement congratulations and confident forecast.
Cordially and faithfully yours.

Extra Size Overalls
Needed for Chancellor
Abbey Woolson a Lawrence haberdasher helped Chancellor Frank Strong solve the problem he faced in the old clothes campaign. Chancellor Strong encountered difficulties when he attempted to find a pair of overalls of the necessary length, but Mr. Woolson came to his rescue with a pair 41 inches in length. According to Registrar George O. Foster, the Chancellor will appear on the Hill shortly clad in denim.
Don't silk socks l funny under overalls? But if silks are all you have, it's cheaper to wear them.
Big Bullrogs Cause Van to Send S. O. S.
Van is sending out an S. O, S. call. He doesn't mind taking care of frogs, rats, and all the other animals, but when it comes to ten dozen big bull-frogs he's ready to give up the ship. The department of physiology ordered some ordinary frogs for class and but he doesn't do ten dozen bull-frogs were sent instead.
One of the professors happening in the animal house Wednesday, discovered Van helplessly surveying the new cases that had come in. Van only had time to wipe the sweat of his pet dog, Mr. Chambers, with another "Cran-in-lee," he got busy building more pens and carrying water for his new charges.
Unless Van is fond of frog frogs, he will have his pets for some time since they are used only for other classical specimens and research work.
Plain Tales From The Hill
"Gee, I'm tired."
"Thought I smelled rubber."
The present styles of dresses seem to show that the women are not in favor of anything which is "overall".
Minute descriptions of costumes to be worn in a production certainly helps the attendance. Even the old blase men like Milton Le Roey Peak can be induced to attend production like the K. U. Follies.
The induction was a selling talk made by the woman who sold him his ticket. After the saleslady explained to him that she was in one of the cars and that the "durgestuff costumes"—hats and mat boxes! Peek bought two tickets.
It was evidently a mid-week date in the porch swing.
"It isn't, but the street lights are."
"I didn't know that the date rule was off tonight."
Women always get the blame for powdering their noses and other breaches of etiquette in public because of their vanity but Miss Lynn has a living example of the typical narrative or description class.
It doesn't pay to be married and bring your wife to college, according to one of the down town type writer dealers. A married student bought a typewriter yesterday afternoon and took it home with him. He was back at work by 10 p.m. The clock and asked the merchant if he would take the machine back.
He spends the hour, filing and polishing his finger nails. Some members of the class have even gone so far as to say he carries a dorin.
"You see I'm married and my wife says that she has to have a new dress" was the explanation the student gave as he left the store.

Prof. Patterson to Talk of South American Trip
Prof. D. L. Patterson will give an illustrated lecture on "South America Today" at the Uritarian church Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Patterson will take up the social and economic condition of South America the attitude of that country toward the United States, the Monroe Dectrine and the League of Nations. Professor Patterson spent four months in South America last summer, during which he visited the five principal republics: Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. From a collection of 450 photographs Mr. Patterson will select 10 of the best.
STRAIGHT INCREASE ASKED FOR FACULTY
Mr. Patterson will give the same talk to the Annual Convention of Modern Language Teachers of Kansas, Saturday afternoon in Topeka
Budget Proposing 50 Per Cent Increase For All It's Members
Request Will go to Board
Available Funds Sufficient Only For Growth of University
A straight 50 per cent increase in salaries was approved by the University Assembly Thursday after a detailed report of the situation by Dean Blackmar and discussion of the method of apportioning the increase. The petition of the Board to the Board of Administration some time before June 1.
some members were in favor of apportioning the increase on a graduated scale. That is, owing to the higher percentage of students with those received by instructors, it was thought that the instructors should receive higher proportionate increase than the professors, the whole average increase, however to equal fifty per cent. Proportionate increase would mean that it would be invasive to the percentage of increase in the salaries of professors because of the discouraging effect it would have on ambitious young persons in the teaching profession from having more faculty to which to base their present efforts.
Dean Blackmar showed that what increases that had been made so far amounted to about twenty per cent since 1916, but the cost of living had advanced 125 per cent at the same time.
The total fund available from this year's budget is nearly $750,000, while the total funds for next year will be $899,000, or an increase of $59,000. From this surplus must be deducted $19,000 for an emergency balance, leaving $40,000 to be used for increasing pay of faculty members. This does not include the increase in the salary of the new chancellor. This would be satisfactory if the necessity had not arisen to a more effective force, which was finally compelled by an increase of over five hundred students this year with a probable greater increase occurring next year.
This virtually makes the surplus left over for next year a provision for new members of the faculty and not an increase in salaries. This was in a large part responsible for the resolution passed by the Assembly asking for another increase in salaries.
OWL OUT AT FOLLIES
Special Number of Sour Owl to Be Sold by Pledges April 27
Pledges to the Owl Society, twenty in number, will sell the Follies number of the Sour Owl April 27, accorded with the museum's own membership of the managements of the humorous magazine. The new members were elected a week ago from the sophomore class, and their names will be announced on the Follies number of the Sour Owl.
The Folies Number, it is said by the Owl Board, will be up to the standard set previously in the year in the society's effort to give the University a good humorous magazine. A two-volume volume of the Gage, an artist new to readers of the Owl, will be one of the principal features, and will be supplemented by other clever drawings by various student cartoons. The cover design was drawn by Oyal Grisewald, also contributed other material.
Short, clever sketches will feature this issue of the magazine, according to the editors. No attempt has been made to use lengthy articles, because it is believed students prefer to read short stories. A man, who did much to make the last issue of the magazine a success, is again a contributor. A number of clever poems will appear in the Follies Number, several of which were written by the mysterious "W. F. E." whose identity remains undisclosed the fact that he has been writing for the Sour Owl for several months.
