MANY POSITIONS OPEN IN SOUTH AMERICA
American Must Meet the Span iard on His Own Ground
Spanish a Requirement
Salesmen, Clerks, and Managerial Jobs Among Those to be Had
Culture is the key to success for the Yankee in South America, according to Prof. W. W. Davis of the department of history, who explained that the aristocratic South American Spaniard, who practically controls the agricultural and business interests of South America, is a highly cultured individual and he desires that his business associates also be cultured. To the Latin American business and freelance go hand in hand; the businex, business-like man who wants to get his deal through within the hour is a total failure in South America, says Prof Davis.
"The salesman who has been trained for his position goes into the office of the business man with whom he wishes to make a deal. He is in charge of it, sits down and works up a thorough friendship with his prospective business associate. Perhaps after two or three calls he will state his proposition. If he has a great idea, he will receive a large order. They do things in a large way down there."
MUST BE AKE TO SPEAK SPANISH
Prof. Davis went on to say, that the language students planning to take a position in South America is a real speaking knowledge of Spanish. A culture based on a knowledge of English literature is of little use in dealing with the Latin American business man. He may be thoroughly read in our book. He can talk with a man who can talk with him understandly of his own poets, novelists essayists and historians. He is also a great admirer of French literature of the nineteenth century. Since Portuguese is spoken to some extent in Spain, this language would be advantageous.
MANY POSITIONS FOR STUDENTS
MANY POSITIONS FOR STUDENTS
"As to positions open to students at these universities, the aim of sending them is that of the salesman for companies manufacturing iron and steel products. South America produces very little coal or iron and there is a great market for these goods. Next in importance are clerkships in these branches being established by banks in the United States and managerial positions for those with more experience. Necessary to the establishing of ample trade relations between the United States and cultured representatives for importing houses of all kinds in the United States.
NEED ENGINEERS
"Before the war there was keen competition in these various lines by European nations, mainly England Germany and France." Professor Davis explained. "These nations have been training their representatives for these positions for many years and are now working to make a model of the trade. New Germany and France are out of the race for a time at least. With England as our only important competitor it is the United States' chance to secure the trade for which we are most advantageously placed to take care of. As a final point it may be stated that the countries of South America are practically undeveloped. The challenge for the Amazon River is less known than the interior of Africa is today. The southern part of the pampas of Argentine is virgin land."
There is room too for engineers of all kinds for the Latin-American cares very little usually for engineering as a profession.
Rubber Company Sends Out Call for Graduate
Prof. W. H. Johnson, secretary of the Appointment Bureau, announces that the Federal Rubber Company offers an opportunity to men students graduating from the University this fall and are interested in the rubber industry.
This company will allow them to enter a training school in connection with their plant and general offices and take a course which extends over one year and pays $100 a month for the time of training. At the end of
the year those who complete the course in a satisfactory manner are placed in positions at a much higher rate of salary.
Curiosity Causes
Caustic Comments
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 18, 1920.
Curiosity killed the cat! That's what the old, saying tells us. Well if one wants to a good example of what curiosity can do, it is only necessary to go to the hall in Fraser near the office of the registrar and see the curious students in a nervous struggle to reach the window. Out of the window came a group of kinds of grades—and they all are unexpected!! One hears little smothered exclamations of joy or disgust, but they are nothing as compared to the facial expressions ones sees at the fateful window. No Julia Marlowe or even Nazimova could affect a wave of consternation so discernable as is wont to spread over the visage of some effusive woman student who comes smiling up to her teacher. And then she gets struck by the news that she has made a dreadful "D" in that subject under Professor ... She thought that was so easy and the professor was so nice. She didn't expect to get much under that lab instructor, Mr. but something must surely be wro
but something must surely be wrong in the course under Professr ___.
NUMBER 92.
has snapped that if some of those students who line up there to find their grades would exhibit as much pre-exam interest in grades as they do post-exam interest now, there are so many different professors. This same professor has calculated that if each student spends an average of 20 minutes waiting for his turn at the window, and then getting his grades, by the time a 4,000学生 get their grades, 1333 1-2 hours will be spent learning about them. Think how many lessons for the present term could be studied, how many library books could be read, how many papers could be written, and in fact how much of all kinds of useful labor could be used to supply this extraneous expenditure of one's
But never-the-less, students still form the long, long line to the window. They still press eagerly on towards the oracle of grades. Perhaps after the next examinations, if they were to be here then, they would form lines that show it is curiosity. No one has ever found a permanent cure for the epidemic. They never will. Why should they try?
Curiosity has never made the world Go 'round and 'round,
It's always been the laughing stock of some,
The sophisticated stuff-neck would 'n't竖起 to look around, if you kindly stopped to tell him He'd been setting down on gum.
But the common run of humans Are imbued with a desire
To be informed about their status
quo,
So it's nothing more than natural
that students should inquire About the grades they made a month ago.

McADOO WON'T PERMIT NAME ON PRIMARY
But Thinks it Duty of Any Mar to Accept a Nomination Unsolicited
New York, Feb. 17—William G. McAdoo today declined to permit his name to be voted on in the Democratic presidential primary of Georgia, declaring "every effort should be made to send uninstructed delegates" to the national convention "from every state where possible."
McAdoa said, however, he regards it "as the imperative duty of any man to accept a nomination if it should come to him unsolicited." He made reference to Bill Miller's Miller S. Bell of Millville, Ga., his boyhood home, where his name has been entered in the primary. McAdoa said he would be delighted if the next "national convention might actually be a democratic conference, where the vote would be valid, and where the motive of high service should control.
"If in such a convention, a platform is adopted and a candidate is selected representing the great constructive, but not democratic country, the day, the favorable opinion of the country would be enlisted at the very outset," he said. "The issue would then be sharply drawn between us and the forces of partisanship and reactivity." He says that it depends on selfs and claiming with presumptious confidence the victory in November."
The Haskell Indian Basketball team will leave for Southwestern Kansas Wednesday night for three games with teams in that section of the state. Coach Rudolph Uhlmann will take eight men on the trip.
Thursday night the Hankell men will meet Bethany at Lindsborg and attempt to make up for a defeat that the wednesday handed the Indians on their way to Bethany. Katie Wesley at Salina will furnish opposition for the Braves and on Saturday they will tangle with Kannas University of Commerce alos at Salina. Both of the Salina teams have been winning in close scores and the Indians are going on their trip expecting better than an even break.
Professor Boyton said to a student who was about asleep. "If you don't wake up I will throw a chair at you."

O. U. Beauty Contest Cuts "Sooner" Price
Miss Margaret McMillan, of Oklahoma University at Norman, was announced winner of the annual contest which took place there last week.
The beauty contest was originated to stimulate sales of the "Sooner," the university annual and six candidacy being supported by a different group.
Every "Sooner" sold one thousand votes for any contestant which the purchaser favored, and McMillan's votes amounted to 495,000.
One group in order to enliven the "Sooner's" at $3.50 instead of $4.00 chances of their candidate, offered paying the difference from their own pockets and offering their "beauty" in the face of a majority of causes, "man" was not tracked by a bargain and took a "Sooner" at $4.00.
LARGE PRIZES OFFERED FOR ECONOMIC ESSAYS
$1,000 nd $500 to be Given by American Economic Association
The first prize is $1,000 and the second prize is $500. The prizes are to be awarded on the merits of the papers.
"What can a man afford?" is the subject of an essay contest for which the author of the best paper will receive $1,000. The prize is offered by E. A. Karelson through the American Economic Association. In explanation of the offer, Mr. Karelson is persuading the superpower soliciting contributions for altruistic purposes I have frequently been met as many others have been met with the statement: 'I am giving all I can afford.' It has seemed to me that if some answer could be found to the question 'What can a man afford?' great good could be accomplished, as he would realize that fully realized the answer must be made elastic and that the minimum each must to a large extent, decide for himself; but there must be some minimum below which no man should go. "It seems to me a nation-wide discussion of this subject would do untold good and would possibly bring forth the question that no one has yet solved of."
The writer must be an American citizen. The paper must be submitted in typewritten form to the Secretary of the American Economic Association on or before October 1, 1920. Each paper is to be signed with a pseudonym which should also be included in the real name of the writer, his address, and should be sealed and sent with the manuscript.
There is no prescribed length, but it is expected to be between 7,500 and 25,000 words. The judges; James H. Tufts, Professor of Philosophy, University of Chicago; Mrs. Irene Oogoand Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the American Association for Labor Legislation; Frank A. Fetter, Professor of Political Economy, Princeton University (Chairman); are given the privilege of calling in others with whom they can discuss issues. Employers are to become the property of the American Economic Association and will be published as a supplement to the American Economic Review, or in some other way.
Further information regarding the contest may be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the American Eco- Council, Goldwin Smith Hall, Ibda, N. Y.
"The present demands to give so much, makes this a very timely subject," said Professor Boynton, "and it should include how much one should save and give with both small and large homes and small and large families."
Washington, Feb. 18- A constitutional amendment giving congress and the supreme court joint power to authorized the vice-president or the ranking officer to assume the duties of the president during a disability of the chief executive, has been prepared by Representative Fess of Ohio for introduction in the house today.

Campus Is Another Good Place To Hike
The campus of the University of Kansas is not made wholly of buildings and shacks, concrete walks, a few beds of shrubbery and the street car
Marvin Grove, a beautiful little shade spot in the hot summer and picturecrest in winter, is on the campus not fifty feet from the walk used to reach the trail. Paths lead down through this beauty spot crossing and recessing each other winding through the little valley formed by Mount Oread as it doubles back on itself and finally coming out to the bright sunlight of the Wakaua Valley.
The grove covers approximately two acres and in the more dense portions it is impossible to see more than fifty feet so close have the vines and shrubbery become grown together, with all its seemingly tangle maze of woodland growth, there is order in the chaos. Each spring the grove has expanded, the cleared of all loosely and dead branches, and the trees trimmed if needed.
Over on the northwest corner are the cedar and evergreen trees, planted in two rows just wide enough apart to allow a beautiful winding path to flow through. The soft, noisy campus into the quiet and solitude of the soft pine carpeted path.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Miss Lynn (naming the religious poems of the early English period)—"Then there is the 'Descent into Hell'—still religious you see."
A man on the Hill asked a basketball woman in an attempt to be witty. "What do you play on the basketball team—quarter-back?"
Another man who had listened to the remark said, "No, draw back."
Miss Swenson: "How fast did De Quinsey travel on the mail coach?" Student: "Ten miles an hour."
Miss Swenson: "And how fast do you travel? Oh you needn't tell. You would be arrested if you
A pupil in translating French gave the daughter a "dairy" for her marriage instead of a bowery." Not such a bad idea after all.
Student: "This class is just like going to church."
Professor Melvin: "Not at all. at church you fill up the back seats and leave the front seats for the new comers; here to get something from the class you must fill the front seats up first."
Dean Templin in discussing logic in class made the remark that students shouldn't believe what they read in text books for they are often erring in their judgment and that professors often say strange and wonderful things. Now the question is whom shall we believe?
FAMOUS LAST LINES

NO NEW FLU APPEARS
Ban Probably Lifted by Next Week Says Doctor Clark
"I still think we will be able to lift the ban by next week," said Dr. A. W. Clark.
The flu epidemic is rapidly disappearing as a result of the quick action taken by the City Board of Health.
No new cases are at the University Hospital and none were reported to Dr. Clark this morning, but the ban will not be lifted until the authorities are absolutely sure there will not be a recurrence of the disease.
The University is taking every possible precaution to protect the health of the students. All meetings are still prohibited, in spite of disapproval from the Board of Trustees Hill. A deluge of meetings is expected as soon as they are permitted.
The prohibiting action is obeyed by all the student organizations, but all are becoming restless and anxious to resume normal activities, particularly those who have spring parties planned.

ALLIES ASK WILSON TO ADD SUGGESTIONS
Acceptable Solution of Adriatic Problem is Sought by Powers
American Good Will Wanted
Neither President's Note Nor Allied Reply is Given to Public
Washington, Feb. 18—The allies have asked Wilson to make further suggestions for settlement of the Arbitric question according to available information today, as to the concessions that will best grasp the proposed settlement.
The reply was recorded at the state department today but it was announced that it would not be made public. The notice also be withheld. At the White House it was said there was no immediate intention of making public either of
these documents. Which's the motivation that the treaty might be withheld? It would be if the Allies were in their course was met by the Allies, it was reported, with a declaration that the Allies do not want the United States to stand aloof or to recall the American ships and men in the Adriatic area.
The president, it is believed, will answer the Allied note by outlining the course of action which would be acceptable to him.
WILSON'S ANSWER MODIFIED
Paris Paper Asserts Note Delayed by Intervention of English Critics
London, Feb. 18. — The allied reply to the note of President Wilson on the Adriatic question was handed to the prime minister in night the Morning Post said today.
It was understood that the complete text was modified from the first draft. The London correspondent of Matin of Paris said he learned the first draft was completed Saturday for reconsideration and for reconsideration. After this it was decided to word the document in a more conciliatory mood.
The eleventh hour delay in the note, the correspondent said was due to intervention by Lord Grey and Lord Cox, who consider the question very grave.
CONSIDERES SITUATION SERIOUS
The situation today was believed to contain grave possibilities. It was learned from authoritative sources that Premier Nitti had told Premier Lloyd George and Millerand that he can't return to Rome this time with an official decision that the position of the disputed Adriatic treaty.
Nitti, according to this information, said he was tired of running to and fro between London and Paris.
SUBMIT TO LEAGUE FOR SOLUTION
SUMMIT TO LEAGUE FOR SOLUTION
Some British leaders today were convinced that the only solution is to take a different matter to the league of nations.
In other quarters there was firm objection that Great Britain will go o almost any length to placate Pressure, which would breach a breach with the United States.
Wilson's note to the allies threatens withdrawal of the treaty of Versailles, and he wants to force France to French protective agreement, if the allies refuse President Wilson's plan.
