The whole attempt will be to diffuse student interest which it is thought is centered too much in the social life of the students.

French Prof, "Monsieur, are you gourmand?"
There is a sign which says "Cook Houses for K. U." Wonder if they intend to put chickens in them.
Oh for that old-fashioned kind of week when it neither rained, snowed, hailed nor froze.
Prof. Royal Hall was lecturing to his sociology class on traditions and customs.
POTATOES STILL HIGH
"Why is it we always have two buttons on the sleeves of our coats instead of three?" he asked, holding up his sleeve to the view of the class. "Why was a failure, for but one button remained on the professor's sleeve."
No Substitute Has Yet Been Found But Rice is Generally
Used
With potatoes at $5.40 a bushel, and prospects of higher prices, the long suffering American public is going another about for substitutes.
There is no perfect substitute for Irish potatoes, according to Missora Webb of the department of home economics. Rice is generally used but it does not adequately take the place of the potato. One pound of rice is about equal to four pounds of rice. At the present time rice sells as seventeen and a half cents per pound in the diet, to approximate the food value of the potato must be supplemented by other foods, particularly green vegetables. Potatoes contain more minerals and vitamins than rice.
Local merchants report an annually heavy sale of beans, which are low in price at this time. They see no benefit. We don't least a month, and in the meantime the only course open to the public is to peel them thinner or eat beans.

Downtown Stores Quote Prices of Overalls at $3 and $3.50 and Unionails at $5
Men students of the University will appear on the Hill Tuesday morning or later in Courtyard rooms or patched clothing to this effect were circulated among the students this morning and were signed by 700 students by 2
Chancellor Strong has signified his intention of wearing overalls and his name headed one of the petitions. "I would wear overalls now if I could find a pair long enough!" Chancellor Strong said. Many professors also agreed to adopt this clothing, planning the high cost of clothing.
Students of Lawrence High School appeared in denim this morning. They have organized themselves into a club with a committee with authority to paddle anyone appearing without the adopted garb. A petition was presented by the Lawrence banks which called for all employees to wear overalls from April 22 to September 1. The agreement contained the clause that the formation of the club depended upon whether or not 100 per cent of the bank employees signed, but as the employees in the Peoples State Bank failed to sign, the demins probably will not be adopted, according to clerks in the Lawrence National Bank who started the
NUMBER 132.
Despite the circulation on the Hill of the story that the price of overalls had been advanced to $6 and $10, two down town stores quoted prices at $3 and $3.50 for their best makes. Unionials were quoted at $5.

Praejudium
b. Bercusee Jarenfeldt
"K. U. is somewhat of a lagrard in this respect," said Con Hoffman, member of the committee. "The question was raised at the meeting, 'Why has K. U. so few foreign students?' California University has 543 students from other countries. Illinois has 725 students from Iowa, Florida and Kansas, 68 in the whole state."
Prof. David L. Patterson will give an illustrated lecture on his recent trip through South America.
"The possibility of securing one of the Japanese or Chinese baseball teams to come to K. U., once a year in China," he added, "greatened as a means of stimulating interest for K. U. in those countries. The support of some work in China or India or another foreign country was also suggested. This idea is similar to projects supported by Talo, Haru Yamaguchi and Masahiro Angioffo at the Nagoya Armes." said Mr. Hoffmann.

Candidates are Puzzled By President's Illness
Washington, April 19—In support of the President, it was politized now by cabinet members that he is attending to his official duties as usual and saw no signs of illness at the cabinet meeting last week.
Almost all democratic presidential possibilities, except A. Mitchell Palmer are tapering into the background, not knowing what President Wilson intends to do and at Democratic national headquarters the idea of pre-emption in a presidential campaign such as the Republicans are conducting was deprenured.
Cancellation of President Wilson's plans for spending the summer at Woods Holt, Mass., is said to be an example that there is "something in the wind."

Washington, April 19- Delearing that we have "no love for truth" Senator Dial, South Carolina, today in a speech to the senate applauded our president for the high cost of clothing. "Lets wear old clothing and do without, everything we can do without," said Dial. "Let us take the advice of a former politician to sitting on our old shoes half soiled and patching on our trousers."
NO POWER PLANT HERE
The University has abandoned the hope of building the proposed Power Plant, according to John M. Shea, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The Legislature had already appropriated $150,000 for the building but because of the high prices it is felt that the Power Plant can not be built now. It was originally planned that the building would cost $250,000. Because of the interest in building it, it would now cost from $75,000 to $100,000 more to build it at this time.

Two Additional Possibilities Considered, Making Seven Candidates for Chancellorship
CONFERENCE ON K. U.
HEAD AT DEAD LOCK
Will Back New Chancellor
All Endorsed by Faculty. Board of Administration to the
Two new chancellorship possibilities were added to the list of candidates at the conference of the faculty and alumni committee with the state board of administration and Governor Allen in Topeka, Friday. They are Frank Le Lon Rhem McVey, David Barker, and Raymond Hughes, president of Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio.
No definite conclusion was arrived at by the conference, however, the two possibilities looming nearest the position remaining Edward Slosson, a former secretary of the University and Henry J. Waters, former president of Kansas State Agricultural College, and now in newspaper work in Kansas City. Advices from the conference state that the alumni committee were more favorably impressed by the qualifications of Doctor Waters, a committee stated that sentiment was about evenly divided between Slosson and Waters. Members of the faculty asserted positively that, whover was appointed to the position would be solidly backed up by the appointment was decided upon.
Governor Allen is said to have presented the qualifications of President McVey of the University of Kentucky. McVey was president of the University of Kentucky before going to Kentucky, and has made excellent records at both places.
It is understood a student committee of about a dozen prominent junior$^1$ and seniors will attend a conference with the governor and the board of administration in Topeka before the appointment is made.
Wilbur Mason and Harvey Penny, members of the board of administration, left Tepoca Monday in eastern states for the purpose of over the field, and will probably visit several of the candidates, especially the two prospects and Sloson Cohen, who are now located in New York.
Possibilities in the race now num ber seven, being Edward E. Slosson, Henry W. Waters, Dean Erskine, of Ohio, and Michael M. aid J. Cowling of Carlton College, Dr. Leon C. Marshell of the University of Chicago, Frank Le Rend McCullen of Kentucky, and Raymond Hughes, president of Miami University.

Cap and Gown Committee Must Charge Profit Says Senior President
Has Investigated Prices
Another Meeting has Been Called by Pringle for Tuesday
"This whole agitation against the price charged for caps and gowns is Hill politics, pure and simple." Wint Smith, president of the senior class, said this morning. "Basil Church did not make the statement accredited to him in Friday's Kansan," he added. "I have investigated the cap and gown prices and there is no graft in the price of $4 which is being charged by the company in question." In a statement to one town nanners Saturday, Smith said:
"The gowns rented by the committee this year are the best available. Each gown comes in an individual image with the student's name on it."
"The cap and gown committee must charge a profit in order to inure against loss. The cap and gown committee can also earn through carelessness on the part of the students. It falls upon the cap and gown committee to collect the gowns after commencement. For each student, the $25 must be paid by the committee.
"The unauthorized mass meeting yesterday was held by about twenty seniors none of whom had ordered a cap and cown. The Kansan in its statement implied that the committee pays $1.25 for the gowns. The price for the attire actually pays over a dollar more than the above quoted price."
"The cap and gown committee is working on a purely business basis. It is common knowledge that several members of the senior class have sold their gowns to fund the gowns, but to put them in the "barrel" at the house for future use.
"The cap and grown committee asks no one to order gowns. It is every one's privilege to order where he chooses. If there is any profit left after the dressing expenses it will be turned over to the student council to use as it sees fit."
WILL MAKE CONTRACT PUBLIC
Entire Controversy Will be Presented at Mass Meeting Tuesday Noon
The committee on investigation appointed Friday at the "inurgent" meeting of members of the senior class who are protecting against the price of $4 for caps and gowns, after interviewing with Chancellor Strong made a statement this morning that the class would be presented at the mass meeting to be held in Fraser chapel, Tuesday noon at 12:20 o'clock.
- Members of this committee as appointed by the Mr. Kettering Friday are Charles V. Kettering, chairman, Iris Hancock, Pam Prankt Terrell and R. H. Montgomery.
A copy of the contract with the cap and gown committee has been received by the chancellor from the contracting company of Chicago, according to J. Pringle of the investigating committee and this contract will be presented at the meeting Tuesday.
Among other statements of the company, Pringle reports that the letter to the chancellor states.
"This company refuses to deal further with your committee and while it would appreciate very much the contract to supply caps and gowns for the University of Kansas this year, it will not be a party to any changes in his named and humane allowed to deal with responsible vardes."
The company, it is said went further to state that they had wired Chairman Ritter of the cap and made him accountable, unavailable to receive a satisfactory reply.
They suggest that some member of the faculty be appointed to handle the matter.
