THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
GETS HELPFUL DOPE FOR COLLEGE GRADS
Professor Walker Receives Interesting Replies to Letter Sent to Big Business Houses
In an effort to material which will aid college graduates in choosing a future career, Prof. A. T. Walker of the vocational department, has sent out the following letter to the heads of several large business houses:
"Will you state the personal and educational qualifications which you think most important for success in your work? Can you suggest the best way to prepare for it? Will you say something about the financial and other attractions of your work for university graduates? We shall be glad to know of the possibilities for women as well as men. Perhaps you can publish articles on books which seem to you helpful in this direction."
"If you can give general advice which will help our graduates to get a start in a particular line of work, the information will be kept on file and the students may have many capable young men and women who prefer certain lines of work, with good fundamental training, and anxious to work and learn, but some of them do not maintain positions, with loss to themselves, and perhaps to their employers."
Professor Walker, said today that he had received and was still receiving many interesting replies to the above request for information. Personal knowledge of such firms as Armour and Company, Packard Motor Company, and Standard Oil Company, Hart Schaffner and Marx, General Electric, Prudential Insurance Company, etc., are now on file in his office at University Open to all students of the University.
Professor Walker said today that he would be glad to see and talk with all students interested. His office in Room 112. Eight Administration Builders will be open from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. The building is called "Biz Businesses" or "Big businesses are trying, not to buy a college education, but to buy good men."
The University of Pennsylvania has adopted the honor system by an overwhelming vote of 2,000 to 100.
Jayhawker Ball Tickets May be Sold Only to 120
The number of couples who will be allowed to attend the Jayhawker Ball in F. A. U. H. Alumni Saturday night in August is 120 if that number of tickets can be purchased night, according to Edgar L. Hollis, manager. If the tickets are not sold by Thursday night the party will be held as many people as care to attend.
The managers have figured that they need 120 paid admissions to come out even on their dance and must have that number. If less than 120 tickets are sold before Thursday night, the party will have to be opened to every one as the managers receive tickets at the door when the 120 arrive as it would be unfair to the late-comers.
Sunset Paintings Loaned By Findlay Art Gallery
Through the influence of Prof. W. M. Hekking the Findlay Art Galleries of Kansas City have loaned the Kansas Art Department two fine paintings for a few days. One is a "Sunset" by A. H. Wyant, much in the coloring and composition of Inness, by whom he was much influenced. It was exhibited at the Lewis Club in Chicago some years ago and is considered a strong example of characteristic work.
The second picture is also a "Sunset" by J. Francis Murphy, and is quite remarkable as he seldom paints landscapes in his books, not noted for his mastery of quiet, poetic expression. The Brynwood Collection includes one of these pieces, and the Thayer Collection contains a series of valuable canvas "October Evening."
Are After H. C. L
A solemn agreement on their honor as gentlemen and as students to purchase no more hats, shoes, or clothing before September 1, 1920, unless these articles decline in price at least 25 per cent is being circulated by the department. The gia. the agreement is not binding unless signed by 500 students. Patching clothing and shoes are not included in the agreement—Depauw Daily.
EXTERMINATE MOOSE
Commissioner Says Another Open Season Will Extirpate Forest Monarch
Portland, Me., April 10—Maine last fall had its first open season on moose in five years and it is the opinion of Willie E. Parsons, commissioner of fish and game, that another open season will just about exterminate all the moose in the Maine woods.
"Moose had so increased in some counties," he says in his report, "where they had not been hunted for four years that they had become quite tame and appeared often in the settlements. But they fell an easy prey to the hunters who had them over a month before the season opened."
"One more open season will exterminate the moose. Our lakes and streams, when depleted can be re-stocked but when this monarch of the Maine woods disappears, he is gone forever."
Deer hunters, according to his report, had a big season also. Residents of the state took out 84,313 licenses and non-residents received 2.577 permits. These hunters barged into the state where they were shipped out of the state.
The bear killed in Maine totaled 146, the report indicated.
