Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Daily Kansas aum to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news on paper, it wants to be the dearest University holds; to be playful foro; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; and to bestow its ability the best of its ability the students of WANTED: A ROOM THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1920 "Rooms, rooms everywhere, but not a one to rent." Will that be the refrain drumming in the ears of students as they comb Lawrence for a rooming place next fall? Will the same shortage of rooming houses be in evidence at the opening of the 1920 term of the University as was the case last September? Not if present plans of the Lawrence House Survey committee mature. The enrollment in the University for the 1920-21 term is expected to exceed all former records. If such is the case, more houses must be provided to take care of the students. This is the object of the Lawrence House Survey. Plans are under way for a systematic investigation of the city to increase the number of available rooms. An executive committee composed of University people and citizens of Lawrence, has been selected and will have charge of the work. Sub-committees are to be chosen to carry on the investigations. Residents of the city will be asked to fill out blanks, furnishing information which will aid in solving the rooming problem for next fall. The present student district will undoubtedly have to be extended in order to accommodate all the students. Taking this into consideration, the survey will include all of the city area south of the river, with a possibility of including North Lawrence. Dean F. W. Blackmar, chairman of the executive committee, points out that at present only a small part of the city is occupied by students, and that the area will have to be extended. He says: "Lawrence is a small city, and a few blocks farther away from the shadow of the University would make comparatively little difference to the student life, except adding to their physical health." It is not too much to expect that this survey will aid materially in furnishing sufficient quarters for the students next fall. For several years the University Y. M. C. A. has given valuable aid to students seeking rooms, and the present plans of the survey are merely an enlargement of the work done by the Y. M. C. A. But to succeed, the committees must receive proper support in their campaign. The investigations are for the mutual benefit of the citizens of Lawrence and the students of the University. Both should co-operate with the committees to make the survey a success. The former should give their support by filling out the blanks, answering all questions accurately; the latter through their willingness to accept rooms at places which may seem a little beyond the present student district, but which are, in reality, a few minutes' walk from the campus. IN REPLY TO YOURS- The point has been raised in discus- sion informality, flowers, taxis, and the Junior Prom, that every University student, for the sake of his education and future welfare, should attend a least one formal party during his stu- dion. This is conceded to be a logical supposition and a helpful on as far as it goes. The fallacy is that every man who would attend a forma Prom, wear a dress suit, buy flower for his best girl, and perform the res of the upper-strata social duties, witten some six or more fraternit formals during the year. But the students who do not attend the fraternity formals, who, it is argued, would be most benefited by the formal all-University party, would not attend the Prom, or the Hop, or any other party, if it were a formal function. The people who attend the formalms nor largely fraternity men and women who are amply benefited in social education by their own formals. The argument over the Prom is, however, not whether or not the party shall be formal, that has been settled—it will not; but whether the students shall observe some of the formalities that attend the formals. The party managers have, in accordance with custom set up in wartime, decreed that taxis and flowers shall not be allowed. It is up to the students to abide by their ruling. And if the student body doesn't it up to the managers to make their ruling stick. Now in justification of the managers. The managers haven't anything against the forster, nor the taxi-drivers, that is, not any more than the average student who bives them has. They made the ruling in war times because it was deemed economical to do away with all unnecessary expenditure. A dollar today isn't any cheaper than it was during the war; in fact if statistics were dug up, it would be found that the dollar is worth just about the traditional "thirty cents" compared with the dollar of pre-war formal-Prom days. Therefore, does it not behoove us to make this Prom, not for the sake of any soldiers in France, but just for plain thrift, common sense, and good taste, informal in all respects? Javhawks Flown A party of K. U. alumni were entertained at the home of H. A. Hoffman at Philadelphia, March 6, in spite of a cold storm night, there were fourteen guests present. The evening was spent in telling tales, singing K. U. songs, toasting marsh-mallows and doing stunts. The following were present: John M. Brentlinger, c'10, E. L. Brag, c'17 Dr. G. H. Drey, Faculty, '19, Foster L. Dennis, '17, Alfred G. Hill, c'17 Naoni E. Light, c'14, P. A. Meyer, c'13, L. S. Morgan, m'19, M. A. Hoffman, c'11, Agnes Crego Hoffman, c'11 The Spectator of McPherson College, reports that a yellow sheet appeared on the campus bearing the name "The India Infamia." "Our minds would soon be unfit to appreciate Shakespeare, Milton, or the Bible if we were subjected to such reading long and we greatly fear we would also lose our sense of proportion," comments the editor. Campus Opinion COMMUNICATION Duile Kaneon? I read with interest in the Kansas that a young lady just graduating from the University and without teaching experience is to receive $1000 in the Fredonia High School. It made me realize even more keenly the wretched status of the teachers of the University of Kansas. Rumors are current that the student incident fee is to be used to provide a handsome salary for the new chancellor and his secretary, as well as to meet a deficit in the running expenses of the University. But should not something be done to legitimate the actual number of Uni- ties to receive and permit them to buy presentable new clothes when their old ones are threadbare? Probably half of the K. U. teachers are not receiving more than $1500. In my own department, numbering ten teachers, I have 200 per annum. One of these has had less than two years' university teaching experience and so much as ten years. Three of the six are trying to support families with special conditions are, I believe, representative for other departments. In view of the increased cost of living, and in view of the raise in the salary of high school teachers, is it not a burning shame to expect members of the University faculty to teach longer at such a low salary? Other leading university are pay- ing men with the rank of instructor $2000. Something must be done here this spring; situation is otherwise the new chancellor will find from fifty to seventy-five vacancies to fill next summer. Who is the public benefactor who will come to the university? Kansas in this time of crisis? —Imwashervised Instructor. "Who's the most beautiful girl in K. S. N. 7," asks the Kansas State Normal Bulletin in commenting on the beauty contest staged there last week. "We have our idea about this but we won't tell. However, here is something worth while. Why not let the chemistry department manufacture a face powder made most beautiful beamed and place on her every box? This powder could then be distributed free of charge to all high school graduates over the state. It would be a good advertisement for the Normal and a great inducement for high school girls to come to Emporia to school."
