COMMITTEE SUPPORTS UNIFORMITY IN DRESS
NUMBER 134.
Health Board Sends Resolution to Chancellor Concerning Women's Dress
To Protect Women's Health
"No Uniform Could be Found That Would Suit all Types," Infers Naismith
Closely allied with the overall movement comes the movement for uniformity in women's dress. The following resolution was forwarded to the Board of Administration last week by the University Health Committee. "Resolved that we recommend the Chancellor and Administrator, the young women of the institution be required to suitable and be designed uniform while attending classes, functions or exercises on the hill."
Doctor Smith is in favor of the resolution. He believes that it will aid the health of the women to wear good, common-sense uniforms, in place of the ultra-fashionable tunes so frequently worn on billiards halls at University on a more democratic basis, Doctor Smith expressed no definite ideas as to what kind of a uniform should be adopted, except that it should be the same for the entire school, with haps hapas an insignia on the arm to dea uniform would be effective in more ways than one, in place of the present promissional display of clothing." Doctor Bacon said the better way to bring about the uniform is a movement among the women students similar to that at present. It should be worn to wearing overalls and old clothes.
Dr. E. Smith, student physician, is chairman of the health committee. Among the other members is Dr. Martha Bacon, Women's Physi Director, Dr. James Naishtmil Director, Physical Designer, School of Medn and Dr. Sherwood, head of the department of bacteriology.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS; LAWRENCE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 21, 1920.
Doctor Naismith was in New York at the time the resolution was passed and knew nothin govt it until interviewed by a reporter from the Kansas. After reading it, he made a definite statement as to his views, but infered that the movement was not a practical one, "inasmuch as a uniform tends to destroy personality and one definite uniform cannot be worn trumpeting," he explained in example of this he cites the instance of the overseas uniforms which became so many women, yet was not so becoming on others. "On the other hand," said Doctor Naismith, in concluding, "in the two of these girls on the hill I observed the introduction of a standard economical uniform."
Doctor Bacon thinks that uniform dress for women would be the shortest route away from the false ideas on which college life seems to stand. "It is not that I do not like to see girls in pretty clothes," she said yes.

Doctor Sudler advocates the health uniform from the standpoint of health and democracy. He was asked yesterday by he thought it was practical in a state institution. His reply was that he was not in the position to answer that as the Health Committee had only recommende-

Primaries in Nebraska and Georgia Repudiate Bryan—Corn State for Johnson
(Bv Harold Jacobs)
New York, April 21—Outstanding results of yesterday's primaries in Nebraska and Georgia, according to incomplete returns today were:
Apparent endorsement of President Wilson's administration in both states Seeming repudiation of Bryan's leadership in Nebraska.
Senator Hiram Johnson's apparent victory over Major-General Weed and General Pershing in Nebraska primaries.
Some political observers also pressed to see a "wet" victory in Senator Hitchcock's victory over Bryan n as much as the Nebraska Senator 'avors light wings and beer, and Bryan is prominent "dry."
Bryan openly opposed the President's uncompromising attitude.
An interesting sidelight was presented by Nebraska the peace treaty and League of Nations. Should Hitchcock return to Nebraska, the Democrats in that state will have endorsed Wilson's stand on the treaty and a. League of Nations since Hitchcock was the administrator, so the treaty fight on the senate floor.
'CHORUS WILL WARBLE'
In Georgia, meager returns showed Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer leading Thos. A. Watson, former congressman and Senator Hoke Smith for the Democratic endorsement. Palmer made his campaign finance recommendations for the endorsement of the Wilson government. Watson and Smith who have opposed endorsement of the Wilson government on the treaty accepted this as an issue.

U. will be surprised that the production is the fact that the scenery will be in keeping with the various songs and costumes. This scenery was purchased by a Kansas theater and is lashed for effect on a miniature stage.
Those who are training the choruses say that they have secured the best of K. U.'s *tertischorism* and vocal talent. Kay Gafney, Baldwin, are working to train the choruses, and today gave out why they believe their talented dancers and singers will prove popular.
"Scenery has also been selected with a view to appropriateness." "Budah" will be an oriental scene. "The Old Fashioned Garden" will have a garden style, female and feminine. "Mystery" will have a gray setting which imparts an idea of the fantastic. "Lovers' Lane" will have a color scheme of lavender and pink with a dark background. "Aggregator" will tail, of course, be designed for suggestion."

MAY WEAR "OLD ONES"
TO ESCAPE PADDLING
Faddies are apt to put into force again with the coming of spring, according to the general attitude of the country. The cement of a bad old clothes movement.
Law Students are Strong for Enforcement of "Old Clothes"
"This is one undertaking which I hope the students will continue until the general price of clothing comes down," said Wint Smith this morning. "They are beginning the movement with more than ordinary zeal, and I believe they will stick to it." We also learned that suits and other new outfitting clothes is not necessary; but carrying out the old clothes idea is. I think the men should wear their old uniform breccles if they want to. Many seem to feel that it will look as if they were trying to advertise the fact that they were in the service if they wear uniforms or parts of uniforms. There is no excuse for that attitude, because practically every man wears a uniform, and we all have some of that equipment left. My suggestion is wear it."
Idea
This morning there was a larger variety of dress among the men, including old overalls, khaki, and the journalists' baggy cords.
"I'm in favor of reviving the paddle idea for our would be swells," said one law this morning, "and if they continue to refuse to adorn their paddles with floral bows then well have to dress a few of them in real style."
"The idea is going to stick, I believe," said John Monteith, president of the student council. "The padding idea might not be so bad for some of our unconventionalists. Perform better than paddling freshmen, which has been stopped for the rest of this year anyway."
