Plans Laid for Monument
Ty Cobb, 1 '20, Praises Spiri In School of
Law
The first annual memorial banquet to "Uncle Jimmy" Green and the fifteenth annual banquet of the School of Law, was held at the Eldridge House last night. More than one hundred students, faculty, and alumni of the School of Law gathered to pay memory to one who was dear to them.
A permanent committee was named to perfect plans to further the movement for a memorial to Dean Green. Elmner M. Powell, 195, was appointed chairman of the committee. Mr. Powell is a Kansas City, Mo., lawyer and interested in the Kansas City School of Law. The other members of the committee are Dr. E. K. U. School of Law, F. L. Loveley of Topeka, William Popperel of Wichita, and Kenneth W. Pringle, 120, of Alma.
UNCLE JIMMY, GUIDE, FRIEND
The first toast was given by Elmer N. Powell, 1'95. Mr. Powell was a close friend of Dean Green's and the speaker characterized Uncle Jimmy "one of God's noble men and as original and democratic as Abraham Lincoln."
"Ty" Cobb, I207, responded to the subject "Why Are We Here?" Cobb said the splendid spirit in the school of Law among the present students and the alumni was traceable to Ute Jimmy. He said that during a time when members of the 1920 class and starvation were the graduation exercises.
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, 1'95, and professor of law, addressed the banchers on the *The Lawyer as a Solder*. The judge described Judge Ruppenthal as a friend and recollected his first meeting with Dean Green one fall morning in the year 1891. Judge Ruppenthal paid a tribute to the man of the law professors he met during the preparation of draft papers in the recent war.

Hensley, I 22, optimistically considered the subject of "Three Years and a L. B to Gain". Henley assured his hearers that he represented a class of students who support any mnemonic material suggested on the memory of Uncle Jimmy Green.

KENT ACCEPTS OFFER TO GO TO DULUTH
Better Salary Only Reason for Change in Schools Says Superintendent
Raymond A. Kent, superintendent of the Lawrence city schools and instructor in the School of Education in the University, has accepted the position of superintendent of the Duluth, Minnesota schools at a salary of $6,000 a year. Superintendent Kent received election to the Board of Education Tuesday and sent in his final acceptance Thursday.
"I have informed the Lawrence Board of Education of my acceptance of the Duluth offer," said Mr. Kent. "Notwithstanding the fact of this decision, I gave most assurance that there has been a rumor to the effect that in case I left, the University would not continue the joint agreement as it now exists with the Board of Education. This statement is causing me to reconsider. I find upon investigation that there is no ground whatever for this assertion. This being the case, the problem of choosing another subvention will be not compliments to the Board be handicapped by my leaving."
Mr. Kent expressed his appreciation of the cooperation given him during his four years in the city schools here. "I cannot speak too highy for my regard for the teaching force and the good will of the public. Such a spirit has left only one reason for taking the Duluth position. That is simply the fact that the Duluth educational authorities are in a better position to give favorable financial incentives with the present salaries given on the teaching profession today."

Steel Plants Close for Lack of Fuel and Coal Miners Cannot Work
RAIL STRIKE TIES UP NATION'S INDUSTRIES
Cities Face Food Shortage
Little Freight Moving, But Rail roads Say Passenger Service ice is Unaffected
Industries in many sections of the country were closing down today because of inability to obtain supplies as a result of the "unauthorized" strike of railway yardmen and switchmen.
The strike, which started in Chicago has spread to the leading railway cities of the nation from New York to San Francisco. Estimates place the number of strikers approximately at 45,000 men.
The food situation in many cities will become serious in case the strike felt by industries, and steel plants in Gary, Pittsburgh, and other coal mines in the Illinois and Indian fields were shutting down.
Railroads reported passenger service still unaffected, but thousands of cars loaded with food supplies stood on sidings.
A resolution providing for another investigation was before the senate. The resolution was introduced by Senator Medill M.cormick of Illinois who declared Congress must act immediately to prevent a serious shortage of food.
Investigation of the strike was started by the department of justice under direction of Attorney General Robert McCain, who prosecuted under the Lever act.
The American Federation of Labor apparently has taken no hand in the strike. Leaders of the Federation declared their belief that the regularly organized unions would be able to control the situation.
PROBATION PERIOD UP
Seventy-One Out of Eighty Con-
ditioned Students Make Sat-
isfactory Grades
The period of probation for the students of last semester who failed in a third of their work, ended at the Easter vacation. Of the eighty students on probation, seventy one were freshmen, thirteen sophomores, one junior and one special, the total be-
Credit for saving the large number of probations is due in part to the honest efforts of the students themselves and in part to extra information provided by the instructors of the classes in which the probationers were enrolled. These teachers gave special attention and encouragement to these students and their progenies, thus adding greatly to their success, thus adding greatly to keeping them in the University.
At the time the figures show that out of the eighty-six, seventy-three made good. Of the eleven who failed nine were freshmen, one sophomore, and six had the total number of failures ten men and one woman. Four per cent of the college enrollment at the beginning of this term were on probation, and at the end of the eight weeks only five of one per cent failed completely.
Although the Devereaux plays, which were held Thursday in the Roccinien gymnasium were not as large attended as had been expected, those who attended expressed frustration with the inadequate ability displayed in both plays.
Audience is Pleased By Devereux Troupe
"Arms and the Man" bp Bernard Shaw was most favorably received in the evening. In his role as the Captain Bluntsail, Swiss offender of a double homicide best, and Miss Graf was admirably suited to her part as Raima.
The matinee play, "Romancers" by Rotand, displayed at its best the subtle personality of Miss Zinitta Graf, who played the part of Sylvia Baldwin, a teacher and role of Perceen, Butler Mandeville as the miserly father of Rosalind excited many laughs from the audience by his abrupt speeches. Owing to the fact that the gymnastism was not a success in the afternoon play were lost.
Staying Single Proves To Be a Hard Task
A club of unmarried girls—formed to celebrate the joys of single bless-ness—has been compelled to disband because so few members remained true to the ideal of the organization. Martimony had steadily claimed this and that young woman of the society until scarcely enough members remained to fill the offices. So, bowing to the inevitable—and the possibility of probabilities of their own approaching disqualification for loyal service the surviving bachelor maids wound up the club affairs and quit. That is the unfailing history of organizations based on a supposition that adherents are always to remain single. Men have formed clubs of women who do not participate in other sex; just as inevitably the activity of the society have in time died out—because of the marrying off of the members. It sometimes seems as though no better insurance of future hyemale bonds being assumed can be found than membership in a movement pledged to avoid

The Inter-class track meet scheduled for April 10 has been postponed to April 19 due to the fact that the track is in poor condition and the lack of time to enable the athletes to get into shade for outdoor competition.

Prof. Alter Will Have Articles in "Science"
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Articles by Professor Dinmore Alter on "Fifteen Month Sun-Spot Periods" and "Relationship between Sun-Spaces and Earthquakes" will appear soon in the "Science" journal. After a research of about three months on sun-spaces and earthquakes there is a period of fifteen months for sun-spaces superimposed on the longer period of eleven and one-eighth years. The longer period was discovered about one hundred years ago. The new shorter period is exactly one-ninth of the longer period. This means some influence on the periodicity of earthquakes is maintained by Professor Alter in his second article.
