Lawrence Residents Asked to Co-Operate in Move-
NUMBER 124.
"The object of the Lawrence House Survey is to increase the number of rooming houses. It is started now with the hope that, when next autumn comes, we can take care of all the students better than ever before, and also better prepare them for a prospective issue," said Dean Blackmar, chairman of the survey this morning in discussing the long-standing shortage of rooming facilities for students.
"The committees are now being formed for a systematic investigation of all available rooming places in the building and for recording such investigations.
"The executive committee of the survey consists of the following members: Mayor George Kreek, honorary chairman; Dean Blackmar, chairman and director of survey; Conrad Hoffman, George O. Foster, chairman; David McKenzie, Ms. Gorton Gibb, X. J. Kennedy, and Harold Constant. This committee will meet Thursday afternoon and choose sub-committees.
The "actual investigation," he said, "will be carried on by these agencies." In a section rituously of the river and possibly north of the river if conditions rea-
Y. M. C. A. has already done considerable work in this line and it is hoped, that the present survey will increase its thoroughness by inducing more persons to acquire the habit of attending the actual area of student residence. 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, adding to their physical health.
"It is hoped the residents of Lawrence will feel kindly toward this survey and be willing to fill out the blanks and answer them. The questions are as possible. This survey is for the students of the University and for the best interests of the town itself. Every effort is being made to make this investigation and through it come this problem in time for a few years to come."

EXPLAIN OUIJA CRAZE
Psychologists Attribute it Mental Shocks Experienced During the War
The enjuia board and spiritualist craze that has been sweeping the world, especially England, may be explained by the large number of mental shocks experienced during and after the war, according to certain psychologist on the minds of the conscious mind may be detached from the rest of the mind from various causes, but especially from mental shocks casey connected with the most intense emotions. 1/ this is connected with some intense desire, such as the seeing of a loved one in danger, or the result of a venuish which lead to various spiritualistic ideas. According to Prof. R. A. Schwegler 90 per cent of us may develop automatic writing, more or less intelligible by a little practice. Who play with enjuia boards not understandting this, attribute supernatural abilities to enjuia boards and plain numerous little illusions that are possible, spiritualism is not surprising.
According to professors in the department of physics Sir Olivier Lodge who created such a stir with his more recent ideas on the spirit world, is one of our great and reliable physicists. He also knows so well that he is aware disagree with his views and knowledge of the laws of matter. I do not think he should be made light of in this connection. It is closely connected with a delicate matter namely the death of his son. I do not know what he has discovered of value, perhaps is your father's death. He has been represented. I do not think his ideas on this in any way usagre or connect with his laws on physies."

Students to be Excused From Afternoon Classes
"A resplendent pyrotechnic display of unique lighting, special planned floors, music that makes jazzy appear like the wall of a labor force."
Entice Prom Managers Into Talking of Party
"Yeh, and a reception line; very little formality," they began again. "And say, to go back to that music. Coon and Saunders at their best are going to prove a boon to all the show fixers, remodelers, and renovators in Lawrence. Everyone who goes is going to find out where the expression going to dance off both your shoes' originated.
Here, they ran out of breath. The managers of the Junior Prom, Bill Wells and Rudy Bauman, were talking about their undertaking. The reporter prepared himself for a siege if explanations.
"Oh, boy," they continued. "when tickets are placed on sale immediately after Easter, we expect that the demand for them will, if placed end to end, reach from Euloria to the Kaw Bridge, and back again as far as Twelfth Street. It's going to be thearty of the year."

FLOWERS AND TAXIS MEET VARIED OPINION
Old Custom Receives Pro and Con by K. U. Stu-
ents
What is the sentiment of the mer students of the University with regard to flowers and taxis for the Junior Prom?
Some of the students have expressed their desire that the old custom of so ding be adhered to because the larger schools of the country all have a big formal party each year, and in the opinion of these students we continue the custom of we expect to hold our places with such schools.
Another student says, "I would like to have a formal party with all the frills attached to it, because I enjoy such spres."
The next fellow consulted about the idea of sending flowers replied in a voiceless voice, "I'm agit it. When asked his reasons he explained that he had just one, "that" costs too much and that father seems to have forgotten that he started the practice."
A group of men further interviewed gave little more consideration to the proposition and expressed the view that we should not be so extravagant at this time, when there are so many good causes to which we could give this needlessly spent money. "Further," continued one of the group, "K. U. has already acquired the name of being a fast, extravagant, and frivolous school, devoted entirely to dancing and for the students to sanction such further exertions." We would not aid in changing the views of the citizens of Kansas and obtaining their appropriations.
MEN ASK Y.M.C.A. AID
The last of those contributing ended by saying, "I am broke."
Fifty nine men have made application for Y. M. C. A. Scholarships up to the present time, according to the statement made by "Con" Hoffman, general secretary of the K. U. Y. M. C. A. this morning. Of this number twenty-four have received sums ranging from $30 to $100.
Twenty-Four Out of Fifty-Nine Have Received Assistance in Scholarships
"Other applications will probably be held over until next year as most of the money that was distributed for that purpose has been used," said Mr. Hoffman.
These scholarships are given to ex-service men to aid them to get an education. The money is distributed by the National War Work Council from the fund that was left over at the end of World War II. Y. M. C. A. is trying to see that it is used to aid the men for whom it was originally intended.
Aside from he more desire to attend, Miss Hammerstein entertains the hope of bringing her manager and procuring moving pictures of the dance for use in one of her future productions.

"It may be that McCook Field will be badly cut up by the contests," said Mr. Kinkel, "and in this case, the games would have to be postponed until next Saturday afternoon, but I hope this will not be the case. The games will be held tomorrow afternoon unless otherwise announced by bulletin board at the entrance to the campus."

"We welcome the chance to show the arrogant sophomores that the freshmen are brave, fearless, and intrepid warriors," said Nimon Slane, president of the freshman class, this morning, of the Olympics to be held tomorrow. "There is no doubt, but that the yearlings should administer a shirt will put a radiant blush on the face of every freshman when he modestly tells his home-folks of the victory."
CANGEISTS PLAN HOME
Club House Will be Erected on Banks of Kaw at Tennessee Street
The Kaw Aquatic club was granted permission to build a club house and sheds on that portion of the Kaw river parallel with Tennessee street by the Lawrence city commissioners in session Monday night. The city attorney advised the commission that the necessary permission could be granted by agreeing not to take action against the canoe club.
Such action was taken so the Kaw Aquatic Club can now build its proposed club house and enclosed sheds according to President Erwin F. Stimpson of the department of physics. The club held a meeting at the City Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night and took so much time to arrive at the club house and enclosed sheds that new officers were not elected as planned.
A committee was appointed to take charge of the plans for building the club house. Several repairs are now being made on the canoe sheds part of which are on the city property. Several other repairs are also to be made on the sheds within the next few weeks.

LLINOIS NEXT STATE IN CANDIDATES' RACE
Wood Will Contest With Lowden For Endorsement for Presidency
New York, April 7—Illinois is the next hurdle in the obstacle race for the presidential nomination.
Preferential primaries will be held there next Tuesday when fifty-eight Republican and like number of Democratic conventions to the national conventions.
Illinois has its own "favorite son" candidate for public honors—Gov. Frank O. Lowden. Nevertheless Major General Leonard Wood has invaded that state in a spired camp pawn for its endorsement.
The Wood organization bases its hopes on the fact that Lowden trailed the General badly in the Michigan primary, where both had conducted equally strong drives for Republican votes. The contest in Illinois, is expected to be limited to these two, as the majority of the voters in Michigan, and Herbert Hoover who ran next to Lowden in Michigan made no campaign there.
Neither the New York nor the Wisconsin primaries yesterday clarified the situation in the two major parties. The delegations of both states are unpledged. The new York republicans are expected to cast their votes for the first Nixon presidential Butler, president of Columbia University. After that, it is declared, the delegates will "ride" with the winner.
No one has attempted to claim the state's political delegates. Gov. Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey, William G. McAdoo, and Attorney General Palmer appeared to be equally popular.
To date Wood continues to lead the Republicans with 63 instructed delegates; Johnson is second with 40 and Lowden has 12.
Considering delegations already elected, a possible standing would be
Wood, 100; Butler, 88; Lowden, 70;
Johnson, 40; Lentro, 26; Judge J. C.
Patthek, of North Carolina, 22;
Governor Henry Allen of Kansas, 22

Chancellorship Committees Will Confer With Administration Board April 16
Further Delay Anticipated
Man Chosen Probably Will Want to Visit Campus for Own Information
"Very probably not, for the reason the man himself will in all likelyhood, wish to visit the University and meet the faculty in order to attend classes. The attitude is like and also what is the attitude here toward his selection.
Will the decision to be made at Topeka, April 16," as to the new chancellor of the University settle the question? That is, will it be possible on the morning of April 17 to say that the university will accept a candidate? One member of the faculty committee, when approached with this question answered:
"Dr. Slosson perhaps knows the University better than any other of the men on the list, but he has been here only once in the past ten years. Dean Coffman was here once or twice during summer session. The others have not visited the University, so far as I know."
One committeman speaking about the part being played by the faculty and alumni committees in the choice of the chancellor expressed regret that there had been little opportunity for them to be acquainted with their qualifications and to compare their relative qualifications for the place.
The committees will go to Topeka
to the meeting called by the Governor
and the State Board of Administra-
tion for final action, April 16.
The revised list of candidates now
under consideration is E. Owen
York Independent; Fred A. Davenport, Hamilton College; L. D. Coffman, University of Minnesota; and John W. Erkaine,
Columbia University, New York.

Profits From Devereaux Plays,
To Benefit Self Supporting
Women
The profits from the plays given by the Devereux Players April 8 are to be used for the benefit of University co-operative houses accommodating twenty-five women. The university rooming house committee is planning to have another home ready for use by next fall.
The work in the co-operative houses is done by the university women themselves, each having certain work to do for a given period. The work requires about an hour a day for each woman.
"I think the co-operative house is a success," said one of the University women who lives in a co-operative house. "We hardly miss the time we spend doing our work, the care we provide and the worth something, we have what we want to eat, and our expenses are less than if we boarded at a club."
WOMEN GOING HUNGRY
Too Many K. U. Women Go Without Breakfast, Says Dr. Martha Bacon
"Too many women come on the Hill without their breakfasts," said Dr. Martha Bacon, head of the department of physical education for women.
"No woman has any right to attend classes all morning without some form of nourishment, and I intend men of the University realize this.
"in building up her resistance gainst all forms of disease, a woman must eat the right amount, as well as not having a child. Unenlightened women should realize this.
"For the sake of the general health of our women, I hope they see the folly of not eating at the proper times will discontinue the practice of it."
