"Hoover for president" club was organized Monday afternoon at a meeting of university students representing both Democratic and Republican factions on the campus. Plans were formulated for an open mass meeting to be called as soon as it can be held. The originators of the movement resolved to favor Herbert C. Hoover for president on any ticket.
Nearly a score of faculty members are said, by the Hoover men, to be backing the new organization, and desirous of working with the students to "put him over." Dean Glenn Templin of the College, who held the position of head of the universities in the collegiate department of the Food Administration in the early days of the war, was associated with Mr. Hoover, and according to the
The general influenza ban will prevent any meeting this week, of more than a dozen students, but a meeting will be held as soon as the ban is lifted, according to the Hoover backers.
A feature of the organization is that women are especially urged to become members and attend all meetings. Other political organizations have excluded the women, but their vote is as good as a man's in Kansas, and they are better men, who believe they will be as available to the issue as the men are.

N. Y. BAR LAUDS K. U
School of Law Recognized by State of New York in Recent Action
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 24, 1920.
Although the School of Law has been established since 1878, it has just been placed on the accredited list by the University of New York. Prof. Burchard was the first following letter from the regents or the University of New York:
I have the pleasure of advising you that the board of regents at their meeting held Jan. 29, 1920, formally registered in the Department of Education of Kansas under Section 40 of Regents rules, as an approved law school which meets the professional requirements of the Court of Appeal and the New York Stat Bar examination.
University of Kansas. Dear Sir:
Prof. Wm. L. Burdick,
Respectfuly.
Respectfully,
August S. Downing.
Aggie Collegian Staff Member to Visit K. U
The University of New York is not what is usually thought of as a university, but is an organization which has control of the higher education of the state and determines requirements for legal study.
Among the visitors that will be in attendance at the K. U.-Agigasket basketball games will be Don D. Ballon, exchange editor of the Agigrate Collegian
His attendance was brought about by a chance contest in which the members of a boarding club raised sufficient money for the trip and then drew numbers to determine the winner.
Leap Year Day Will be Church Day for Students
Plans for the Universal Day of Prayer, next Sunday are at a stand still now on account of the fau ban, if the ban is lifted before that time the larger churches of Lawrence will have special university services.
Kipling's Soldiers Had Nothing On Oreaders
"Sunday, February 29, is a Sunday that somes but once in forty years and the World's Student Christian Organization, an international organization devoted to university students to attend church!" said Con Hoffman today.
All organizations are expected to go to church in a body. If church in aid special effort will be made to gov't to the students.
It was the rise and fall of "boots, boots, boots," on the feet of his companions which, through sheer monotony, drove Kiplinger's soldier on the long hike in Africa, but it is the continual rise of "boots, boots, boots," on the feet of the long hike of prices that is getting to the ultimate consumer's sanity.
There are now seventy-five male students in Oread, all of whom, through early training and parental influence, have formed the habit of wearing leather shoes. Results of a careful canvass show that each of these wear on an average, four pairs of shoes; therefore this means that $4,200 is the yearly cost imposed upon the male student body of the school for not having been born in an oriental country and taught early to wear wooden sandals.
Two and one half square feet of leather is consumed in making the ordinary pair of men's shoes. In 1873, Oread High boys consumed annually by Oread High boys was cut in the form of a ribbon one inch wide it would reach from the Kansas river south to Twentwitt County to unish the uppers of the shoes alone.
While the soles of the shoes weigh a bit less, one and a half pounds of material are consumed in the making of every pair, shoe dealers declare. This means that Lawrence pavements wear away 450 pounds each year of the hide which used to adorn Old Boss back.

RAIL MEN CONFIDENT BILL WILL BE VETOED
Cummins Measure Passed by Senate Yesterday and House Saturday
Washington, Feb. 24- Railroad union men today are confident that the president will veto the Cummins rail bill when it is presented.
The measure was passed by the senate late yesterday and by the house Saturday and was expected to be sent to the White House today. The railway station in New York's dome veto was based on what they interpreted as promises of a "square deal" made to them last summer by the president when he asked them to postpone pressing wage demands during the government's effort to bring down prices.
The labor section of the Cummins bill does not give them a square deal the union men contend and they further argue that in passing the measure congress has deliberately ignored the promises to the men.
It was announced at the White House that as soon as the railroad bill reaches there it will be sent to Attorney General Palmer for his opinion.
Washington, Feb. 24-Under a grey sky on the height of Arlington overlooking the Potomac, the body of Reevers Admiral Robert E. Perry the discoverer of the North Pole was buried in the graves of the nations' heroes.

The dramatic club tryouts are part of the regular work of the department, and no attendance was expected, or adjourned, for them. There was no instruction for the tryouts. The windows were not opened through the tryouts, because of inadherence on the part of the spectators, and the fact that I was back of the stage."

Question is Whether Student Sentiment is Ready $ ^{\circ} $ for Introduction Again
Torch Petitions New Vote
The Student Affairs Committee, which met Saturday, discussed the honor system which was voted upon last year but failed to go through on account of the small vote. Fred Jankins, representative of the Sachems, discussed the matter, and a petition from the Torch, Senior Women's Association had been presented to the senate asking that the question of the honor system be re-submitted to the students again this year. The Torch petition asked that a new vote be taken by the student body and that if 80 per cent of the votes cast are in favor of the honor system it should go into effect.

"Every member of the committee who was present, expressed his opinion," said Dr. Alberta Corbin, "and in general the idea of the honor system seemed to be favored. But most we do not have the memorandum putting it through. The Committee was also in doubt as to whether the student sentiment is ready for the introduction of it and whether the students are ready and willing to take the necessary responsibility that nat-
"In a number of advanced classes in the department of home economics the honor system has been tried out, especially during the last final examinations, and it was found to be very successful."
"The Committee voted to recommend to the Student Government Association that they take up and discuss it thoroughly at council meetings and secure an informal expression of their views, which are asessible as possible. Some of these are: The Men's Council, The Women's Student Government Association, The House President's Council, Sachems, and Torch. It was also suggested that the Committee might take up a discussion of the honor system as a part of their work.

Lloyd George and Millerand Jockey to Gain Influence Over Soviet

SOUTH AMERICA OPEN TO TRAINED WORKERS
Vast Projects Offer Opportunities in Engineering and Other Lines
"South America offers many opportunities to men who can speak Spanish and understand the customs of the country," said Prof. Arthur Owen of the Spanish department when asked what opportunities South America offered to a college graduate. "There are always a large number of firms who can use men who are qualified to take positions as their representatives in South American countries. A man from an economics and minors in Spanish will be qualified to take a position of this kind because in studying the Spanish language a man learns a good deal about the customs of the country."
"American firms have lost a great deal of money in the past by sending men to South America who did not understand the language or the people," said Professor Owen. "I even knew of one case where a man acted as consul in a South American city for forty years, and naturally he could not understand the people and therefore made a great many errors. Americans have made the mistake in the past of looking at the South American people as belonging to an inferior class and their way of treating them in business has been wrong." Western countries that might just as well have come to the United States."
"There is also a need in South America for engineers of all kinds who can speak the language. South Americans have developed today that the United States was twenty years ago. All kinds of projects that call for engineers are being started and an engineering competition that he has in this country."
"In fact there are openings in all lines and the men who take advantage of these opportunities must be trained to speak the Spanish language knowledge of the Spanish language."

"A small trunk," responded another man.
"How did men of that time get an education?" asked a professor in History of English Literature.
"By studying," answered the student.
"A handkerchief," replied one student.

The instructor in the class was reading a news item concerning the introduction of smoking paroles for women in a theatre in Chicago. After reading, "the manager declares this is the place in the country that no one should be of mind," she stopped long enough to say in a shocked tone, "I should hope so!"
"Oh, is it?" quizzed the instructor. "Well, it's taken from a sketch book," reasoned the student.
A student in Short Story when asked if "Rip Van Winkle" was a short story said, "No, it is more like a sketch."
Dean Blackmore was talking to his class in Eugenics about those students who habitually come late to class. He said "I do not know whether these tardy traits are due to heredity or environment."

Debaters Wrangle Among Themselves and Decide Unanimously for Negative
Question is Immigration
Colorado and Oklahoma are the Other Two Schools in Contest
With three weeks to go before the first intercollegiate debate of the year, the teams which will meet Colorado and Oklahoma March 19 are in splendid shape, according to H. A. Shinn, coach.
"Sunday afternoon the Colorado and Oklahoma teams gave their speeches as they are prepared, while Coach Shinn was dismissed March 25 acted as judges," said Coach Shinn. "The negative, the Colorado team, won by a unanimous decision. The affirmative team has decided that they have taken the penalty for new working from a new angle and one which should be a winner."
The speeches are completely prepared, and the rest of the time will be spent on polishing the rough edges. The plans are cording to the plans of the coach.
The question for the triangular Colorado-Oklahoma-Kansas debate, which was not held last year, due to the unsettled conditions at all three states, has led to migration to the United States should be prohibited for a period of five years."

Members of the team, which will debate with Oklahoma here are George Calvert, Lyle Arnel, and George Roscorenus. The Colorado Buffalo are built-up in Boulder, is composed of Cleopatra Viehorse, V. A. Newman, and G. A. Gould.
The question for the annual debate with Missouri, which will be held here this year on March 25, is practically the same as the other, the difference being largely in more wording. Although the Missouri team is working hard, the other teams will receive particular attention.

"The teams, curiously, received better service in their search for material at the Kansas City, Mo. public library than at the University library," said Coach Shim. "Here the librarians even objected to letting us put the material on the shelves, where it would be available until we had read and book ourselves. On the other hand, when the teams went to Kansas City the librarians flooded them with books and magazine articles, getting more than the nine men could cover in a whole day."
VISITORS NEED GUIDE
Student Interest Committee Suggests Guide to Show K. U. to Visitors
"The Student Organizations can do nothing in the way of providing guides to show visitors about the campus," said John N. Monteith, president of Men's Student Council, when asked all that the student organizations could provide guides for visitors who come to the campus.
This question arose last week from the fact that forty-eight students from the Winchester High School visited the University and returned home disappointed because they were unable to see much of the state institution.
"The Student Interest Committee," continued Mr. Montelita, "discussed this question at our meeting Saturday, and it was the unanimous opinion all that the student organizations could do nothing, and that the state should provide a n paid guide, who should not only show visitors about the city, but also to the people throughout the state and cause them to visit the University.
"Now is the time to start a movement of that kind, for with the coming of the new Chancellor and the complete change in administration a new model of government is being formed." "The Men's Student Council" concluded Mr. Monteith, "would be glad to help circulate a petition and in any other way push the movement."
