Washington, March 4—Efforts of wets to inject prohibition into the national campaign are taking such form that politicians believe very likely the fight will be carried to the nails in November.
Clarification of the issue itself has been marked in the last few days. The fight to be made before one of the conventions will not be directed against constitutional prohibition as such was stated by wets. It will be a fight upon the issue of beer and light wines against complete dryness in a new effort to allow loops but will be directed to make it possible for those wanting beer and wine to have some under certain restrictions.
When the first wet woes were raised politicians of both parties scoffed at the idea of making it an issue. They said ratification of the treaty would take a long time, but they have begun to change their ideas because of recent events.

“GETTING BY” POLICY IS FLAYED BY MASON
Student Who Watches Clock Quitter, Says Head of Administration Board
That the most abominable thing a student can do is to adopt the policy of simply getting by, was the contention of Dr. Wilbur N. Mason, president of the State Board of Administration, who addressed the Noonday Luncheon Club this noon at the Y. M. C. A.
"There is too much watching the clock," said Mason Dason, "a student who only does what it required of him and only that when practically forced to the accomplishment, is on a par with a member of a section gang who quits work even before the echo from the 5 o'clock whistle has ceased reverberating. That is not Kansas spirit."
"We care more for results than fo, what pecuniary value can be derived. That is the way in which the next chancellor of this University will be chosen. When we find a man who will be more subservient to the idea of assisting to make this school the best it can be, he will States, rather than to the Almighty Dollar, then we will have a good man for the position."

LOYALTY MOVEMENT IS NOT DEAD-MELVIN
Reports of Its Demise Entirely Unwarranted Says Originator
Is Planning May Day Fete
Working for Constitution, Memorial Drive and Other Good Activities
The statement that the Loyalt movement is dead, sometimes expressed in communications to the Kansan, was denied today by Professor Frank E. Melvin, a member of the executive committee of the movement. Mr. Selvin said:
"Because the K. U. Loyalty Committee avoids publicity for many of its activities some believe that the loyalty movement is dead. This is far from true. Besides exercising an indirect influence on all student organizations of which members of the Loyalty Committee are officers, the KU Loyalty Committee has endorsed all worthy university movements suggesting changes in old organizations, and institutions, and initiating new ones.
"The Loyalty Committee is now working in the interest of the K. U. Karnival the Men's Constitution, the musical and dramatic organization of the K. U. World movement and the million-dollar drive memory drive. The Committee has under consideration plans for a May Fete and a pageant of this school. This latter, according to present plans will be held next fall."
NEED FOR TEACHERS GREATER THAN EVER

"We stand for teachers next fall far excess of any demand this year."
"This is true in Kansas as anywhere else in the country. The school superintendents in Kansas and the boards of education are taking full advantage of the law permitting teachers to raise their salaries for next year from by 35 to 60 per cent over the present salary schedule.
"Forty thousand schools are closed in the United States today and practically all are running on less than 20% of teachers and with crowded classes.
"The second keynote of the meetings," said Dean Kelly, "was the introduction of more scientific measurements of the product of education to get more result in education must be treated as any other science."
When asked if the meeting was a favor of unionizing, Dean Kelly said "The majority were not in favor of it, although they thought it was feasible and would bring quick results. They are looking for the forks to keep to the high stair dard of teaching as a professions vocation."

Faculty Requests Transferring of Bacteriology and Physiology to School of Medicine
Is Dean Sayre's Resolution
Chancellor Strong Wants Change Made Before He Goes Out Of Office
"The voting of the $200,000 bonds for the hospital at Rosedale insure for all time the location of Clinical hospital of the School of Medicine at Rosedale," Chancellor Frank Strong said this morning, in commenting upon the meeting of the faculty of the School of Medicine at Rosedale Wednesday.

"This resolution related to unification and co-ordination of studies," said Dean Sayre. "These subjects belong in the School of Medicine."
“This was a very large and enthusiastic meeting of the faculty,” Chan celer Strong said “And I was the happiest of all as I have been pushing the School of Medicine harder than anyone else because I do not like to get out of office with this proposition hanging fire.”
HOSPITAL NEED SHOWN

Doctor Smith emphasized the great need of a hospital to which the students would not have such a horror of being taken when ill.
There is quite a hit in the business of the dispensary since the decline of the flu wave, only two patients remain and they will be able to leave soon.
HOUSE OPPOSES BONUS
Leaders of Both Parties Fear Increase in Cost of Living as Result
Washington, March 4—Leaders or both parties in the house at this session of Congress are opposed to the demand of organizations of service men for bonuses, vocational education, farms and loans.
The position of leaders is that the value of the large amount of liberty bonds outstanding will be jeopardized by the issuance of additional bonds necessary to finance any sold aid relief program. The bonds outlay ranging from $2,000,000 to $16,000,000,000. In addition leaders say a program which increases inflation of credit will increase the H.C.L. As a result it seems probable the committee will give the service men a pledge to enact the legislation asked by the committee at the time when government expenditures are made to approach expenditure.
