The course also includes special economic lectures and the class the bank. This is accomplished by rotating the members of the class through all the departments of the bank.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Denn Blackmark: "Sometimes I detect a glam of intelligence in some of my larger classes. At other times on a voundela performance."
A student translating French made the remarkable statement, "The Protestants were sent to the galleries," but on second thought corrected herself and said. "The Protestants were sent to the gallies."
Instructor in boxing class: "Mr Small, you probably ought to be boxing the oranges and lemons."
"Open all night?" to the average individual is associated with restaurants or cafes. But to a certain Sigma Kappa it appears to have a far different meaning which is more appropriate words printed in bold letters on the open edge of her book. Say students are here merely for pleasure!
In one of the classes on the Hill the idea of beautifying the campus was being discussed. Our campus was being compared with the campus at Manhattan. Some student remarked that the campus at Manhattan was so free from dandelions. A man spoke up at once, "Well we haven't a flock of sheep to keep down the dandelions like the Cow School has."
A K. U. professor says that no person is normal. If a normal person should happen to appear upon someone, he should think what a curiosity it would be.
A professor on the Hill illustrated a point the other day in class by telling a story he had heard. He said "Little children in a public audience and like good resolutions — they should be carried out."
TO PRACTICAL GEOLOGY
Professor Haworth to Begin Commercial Work After Leaving K. U.
"After I leave the University I will devote all of my energies to commercial geology," said Prof. Estenau Haworth today. "I will call myself a commercial geologist and work for the industries which will pay no me the best. I have no particular industry in mind at present and all that I can say it that I will devote the remainder of my life to geology.
"I am getting older than 'most people think that I am, so of course I will have to have a few little playings on the side. It is always said that a retired college professor can go into the poultry business, so I play them all. They will be one of our playthings along with other little things."
Professor Haworth has been a member of the K. U. faculty since 1892 instead of 1902 as previously stated.
SECOND IN GEOLOG'
Oklahoma University Only Has a Larger Geology Department Than K. U.
"The department of geology at K. U., is now the largest in the United States with the exception of the one at Oklahoma University," said Mr. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department, today.
With the beginning of the new semester the classes in Physiography and Elementary Geology show an enrollment of 237 making a total enrollment of 692. Although the department has just obtained two new assistants to take care of the laboratories which are fitted up only for sixteen students and the faculty which are hundred at a time, an effort is being made to get two or three more.
H. C. Herring of Wichita To Preach at Plymouth
The Rev. Hubert C. Herring, of Wichita, will preach from the Plymouth pulpit Sunday in recognition of players for Colleges and Universities.
The Reverend Sanderson, pastor of Plymouth rates Mr. Herring as perhaps the most dynamic personality in Kansas Congregationalism.
"In Wichita he is a dominating per sonality," said Mr. Sanderson. "The Congregationalists of Lawrence and their friends will welcome this opportunity to hear his summons to a more virile personality."
Jeanette Davis Ed. 21 will spend Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City.
MAY GO TO CHURCH ON
FEB. 29, NEXT SUNDAY
Ministers Will Present Unusual Sermons to Attract the Students
Only Chance in 40 Years
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Make Request for University Attendance
Next Sunday is the only opportunity in forty years that will be presented to go to church on leap-year, the 29th day of February.
Every organization, fraternity, sorority and club, is requested by the World's Student Christian Federation to attend church next Sunday in a dayy.
The World's Student Christian Federation was organized in 1895 by student Christian movements of Great Britain, Germany, United States and Canada. Students of forty countries are now represented in this organization. The war caused a decrease in the active work for the last three years but it is now being taken up with greater energy.
A special request is made by the J. M. C. A. and W. Y. C. A. in an effort to get all students of the University to recognize the day and also to become interested in the organization it has promoted it.
Lawrence ministers are going to make a special effort to present seminars of vital interest to college students, and as a consequence next Sunday we will see a large student attendance at the different churches, ay the churchmen.
Rev. Evan A. Edwards, of the Epis-
pical church will give a sermon on
temptation, comparing the tempa-
tations that man meets through
life to the three great tempta-
tions of the Christ. The temptation
of youth desire; of middle-age,
ambition; and of old-age, desair.
E. A. Bleck, pastor of the Prebystern church, will use as the subject of his sermon for next Sunday, "The Dinner of a Wrong Choles," will present it in such a way as to make a special appeal to the student.
the minister of the Christian church, Rev. M. Lee Sorey, will deliver a sermon on the inter-church world movement. No movement of the protestant churches has been more attention than this one, which is a movement to secure the combined efforts of the protestant churches of the world toward the advancement of Christianity, said Reverend Sorey. The inter-church world movement by saying;
"It is the survey of the world to discover its need of Christianity, and the organization of all protestantism to design or program to meet the need."
The movement was first suggested by the Reverend Earl Taylor, at the Methodist Centenary Movement, three years ago. But it was not until after the war that the subject was given deep consideration.
The pastor of the Methodist Church will deliver the fourth number of his series of Sunday evening sermons on the life and death of George Sublime Thought." His specific subject for next Sunday is "Pilgrim's Progress" and his discussion of that work should prove interesting to students in general and to college people in general.
Other churches in the city are to give special services, and next Sunday should be one with an unusually large church attendance.
Glosses Must be In By Monday, March 1
Slowness of students in bringing in gloss prints for the Jayhawker is threatening to delay the publication of the book from the management today.
"There are many seniors who have their individual pictures who have not turned them in at the office," said H. Ranger, the editor, "Some H. Rangers took their glasses from the photographers. This is true also of students of other classes. If these prints were as prompt in coming in as those for other portions of the book, we would no trouble in getting it out by May."
"Those persons who do not bring in their gloss prints by Monday evening will have to write in to the management in order to reserve the space. The pictures are to run alphabetically and we are going to begin arranging them immediately as they are to go in the book next week."
