University May Have Uniformed Battalion Of Guards Next Year
Adjudant General of Kansas City Offers to Aid in Getting Organization
Army Officers Drill Men
Time To Quit Doing Our Bit And Do Our Best, Students Are Told
A battalion of State Guards at K. U., recognized as a military organization by the State of Kansas was postponed by Chas. S. Huffman, Adjunct General of Kansas in an address before the men of the University in Fraser Hall Thursday afternoon.
"If the Board of Administration and faculty of the University wish to get this organization," said Al Huffman, "I will do all I can to have it recognized by the state. It could be not done this semester, but probably by next fall a retired army officer, of whom there are several available, complete, cohesive, and uniformed furnished those students joining the unit. No larger force than a battalion could be enmined, however."
STATE GUARDS ORGANIZING
The State Guards is an organization for home defense, with guard duty within the state only. About 15,000 men, according to General Huffman, have joined it in Kansas, but as yet the state can not equip them because there are no legal provisions for appropriation. Many communities are equipping their own units, the speaker said. Kansas City is the only place in the state where the force is doing guard duty now, he said, and there many prominent citizens take part in patrol duty.
"OUIT DOING BIT—DO REST"
A retired army officer will soon travel over the state, the speaker said, holding schools for officers of State Guards communities.
"QUIT DOING BIT—BID BEES,"
"We want to quit doing our bit and do our best." was the war message of General Huffman, taking it from the words of Harry Lauder. "The man who gave us the tools are told to go over the top do not say they will think about it, but go right over. This is what Lauder says we must do in America when we are invited to enter war activities."
General Huffman was for fifteen years in the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, and served in the Philippines, and became a senator for the last fourteen years.

Country Editor Lives Long and Happy—Beck
Slave for the city daily and be scrapped at fifty or be your independent self on a country weekly appreciated by a whole circulation of real friends and grow old to find the best always yet to be—that was the choice W. T. Beck, editor of the Holton Recorder, put this morning to a class in editorial problems and policies in the department of journalism.
Community usefulness and understanding, faithfulness to trust undertaken he made guiding leads for his discussion. The country correspondent who writes for glory and the interest of a small neighborhood he lauded as his reliance in the country field. And he said that many a yarn that would make big news for an impersonal city paper just couldn't be run to hurt feelings around home. That was why the country editor could be so happy and live so long at his job.
Will Print New Features
In Graduate Magazine
Early Recollections of North College Told By K. U.
The Graduate Magazine for March has great interest for the students, for it contains stories of youthful North College as persons who were students in the first University building remember it.
"The Home of Memories" is the title given to the full page cut of Old North College. The first article, given a short history, was written by John A. Ross Leis tells her impressions of that first year in the new building.
Other early students recall the ideals which were set in those early years, and the faces and places which were seen. Carrie M. Watson, 77, writes "A Rgregret" that this building must be razed. A recollection by Hannah Oliver, 74, is titled "From First to Last." The last reminiscence written by Kate Stephens, 75, is "North College: A Chant" in rhythmic style. There is also a song composed by Miss Stephens.
Another unusual feature of this number is the advertising. In response to a request from the government the advertisements were made patriotic. The Graduate Magazine is the first alumni magazine which has complied with this request.
Mix Goes To Lincoln—
Serves on War Board
Dr. A. J. M., plant pathologist of the Dr. A. J. M., plant pathologist of the Dr. A. J. M., attended the sectional meeting of the Plant Section, Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, March 19 and 20.
The Emergency War Board is appointed by the American Phytopathological Society, and is a voluntary organization brought about as a result of the desire on the part of the Plant Pathologists of the country to assist in stopping the leakage in the cro production.
The American Phytopathological Society held its annual meeting it December and divided the country into districts with a chairman for each. The meeting at Lincoln was of the great plains district, including the grain and cereal producing states.
Easter Gift to Van Raises Wild Rumpus
"Paul he done it. I would like to strangle that rascal and give him one g-rand kick. So!" Van the keeper of the K. U. menageries was furious. He had the Kansan newsroom tilting at thirty-seven angles. Paul the genial janitor of Snow Hall had presented Van with quadruplet bunnies as an Easter remembrance and Van did not appreciate it.
The big story broke Thursday morning when Van stood appalled before the cubby-home of the widow rabbit whose wild mate died the day after their arrival on December 11, last. It was December 11 and 3:10 p. m., and that was down in black and white in Van's note book which looks more like a record of thumb prints than a proper hotel register.
Thursday morning it crashed in on Van. He was feeding the widow her usual breakfast. Only he had cared for her in all the months gone by. Only he had had even a chance to see her. And there were four children living with him. Van rushed over to all the departments in reach. It was news.
Doctor Robertson wanted to buy them immediately. Rarest prizes ever known, he said. Doctor Baugartner was astounded and began to work up a bibliography which might contain books for good old Van'ts. He declared for good old Van'ts an questionable veracity. "He couldn't do a liar," he was the general verdict.
And Van felt badly. Papa bunny so long dead, poor fatherless little cottontails, how sad, how sad. If on the verge of suicide he could them! if He could only see them!
Van had the story ready for the press. It was to be released under a time limit. Then Paul got scared and confessed. The children were adopted. Mamma bunny looked lonesome in there all sole alone. He tried to make her happy. But he destroyed Van's sense of mind.
"I must be exonerated. I must not be exposed to such villainy. People must not think I am such an easy follow. I do the best I can. I have been deceived." Van said among other things, many other things.
College Fraternities Pay 10 Per Cent Tax
Tax Applies When Dues Exceed $12.00 Per Annum
College fraternities and sororites are paying a tax of ten per cent on all dues and initiation fees, under the present internal revenue law. The collector of internal revenue for the eighth district issued an order explaining the law and showed that college organizations were included.
The order in part reads: "College fraternities are social clubs within the meaning of section 701, and their fees and dues are taxable. The department has ruled that where the dues and membership fees of a college fraternity are in excess of $12.00 per annum, a tax must be paid on account thereof, even though such dues or membership fees are in part payment for board and lodging, subscription to magazines, purchase of pins, etc."
"However, where any amount paid covers charges for the items mentioned above, the tax applies only to the amount paid as due. The order also explains that the tax cannot be avoided by describing a charge that is paid for dues as board, lodging or some unattaxable item."
Plain Tales From The Hill
Now is the time that love games are again popular at the University. So, you guessed wrong. It's not that. T
playing in and here's where those games come in. Just one participant in the love game can be happy, however. The other must weep about his shut-out defeat. Be that as it may, fraternities and rooming houses are rolling the courts and preparing for the spring pastime.
Economics prof: "That's all right, Miss Adams. Your answer has a point to it, which is very unusual in the reply of the average student. Now, Johnson, can you put Miss Adams's answer into English so that the rest of us can understand it?"
A man with a heavy gold watch chain festooning the front of his vest was walking through Fraser Hall. From the chain hung several large ornaments and charms. A student looked at the vest front and then at the salvage box.
"My," said the student, "what a fat mans for the box."
Several K. U. instructors are considering buying Puritan nondoes poles to try to force students to take their sleep at proper hours and not between times. Reminders that classrooms are not Pullman have proved ineffective.

Basketball Championship Nearer After Preliminary Elimination
Merriam-Chanute and Argentine-Burlington Games Open Series Followed by Gardner-Achison and Herrington-Rosedale Contests—Second Round' Played Tonight
Women from all Kansas Meet in Contest for Supremacy
Emporia, Hays, Baldwin, Winfield, Macksville, Larned, Rosedale,
Iola, Linwood and Newton Will Enter Second Round
In the first round of the State Basketball Tournament, being played today at Robinson Gymnasium, teams from Emporia, Hays, Baldwin, Winfield, Macksville, Larned, Rosedale, Arkansas City, McPherson, Wichita, Argentine, Parsons, Iola, Linwood and Newton have eliminated their competitors, and are placed for the second round, which begins late this afternoon.
Emporia had things its own way in the second half and the whirlwind offense dazed the Solomon boys, who began to pass wild and take long chances at goal. Baird played excellent ball for the Emporians, leading in goal shooting with four goals from 17. Emperor Daniel Jensen was strong on the defensive end. Sullivan and Neil showed up best for Solomon.
WINEFIELD 37: OREAD 0
Emporia, coming from behind in the latter part of the first half and playing great basketball, eliminated the Solomon five, winners of the Fifth District championship. Solomon started the game in whirlwind fashion and ran up a score of eight to two against Emporia before the Emporators were fairly back. The Emporia quintet came back strong in the latter part of the half, however, and led by one point at the end of the first period.
The high school students began pouring into Lawrence last night and the steady stream continued until late this morning. The gymnasium was crowded throughout the morning with students on the hill and high school visitors and most of the games were well played and fast, considering the crowded conditions in the gymnasium.
HAYS, 25; LAWRENCE, 14.
The Eleventh Annual State High School basketball tournament began with a rush at 10 o'clock this morning when Solomon was eliminated by Emporia and Lawrence was put out the running by the fast Hays City five.
The Hays City quintet spring one of the surprises of the early part of the tournament by winning the first game, played at 10 o'clock, from the Lawrence five, one of the favorites in the play. Hays surprised everybody by staging a brilliant offensive and clearly out-played Lawrence through the game. Captain Houk of the Lawrence quintet was off form and tossed only one goal from the field, while Westeermeyer and Olson performed well on the floor and each caged two baskets.
Baldwin, 25; LEAVENWORTH, 8
Baldwin easily eliminated Leavenworth from the running in their game at 10:30 this morning. Baldwin out-clasped her opponents in every department of the game and led by a score of 15-4 at the end of the first half, center and upfield. The Baldwin five was the outstanding star of the game, scoring all but two or three of his team's field goals and throwing free throws almost uneringly.
W. Grass, Hays forward, and F. Grass, guard, were the stars on the western quintet, the former accounting for 10 points and the latter shooting three goals from the field, besides playing a stellar game at guard.
Leavenworth played better ball during the second half than during the first, but failed to cope with the strong defense of the Baldwin team. Meagan Leavenworth and Williams, for Leavenworth and Williams, with Butell starred for Baldwin.
WINFIELD, 37; OREAD, 0
Winfield, playing the best basketball seen in the tournament thus far, swamped the Oread Training School five in the other 10:30 game this morning. The tall and rangy forwards of the Winfield quintet toyed with Oread and the Lawrence men could do nothing against Winfield's stonewall defense.
Johnson, right forward, was the best pointetter for Winfield, as he scored six goals from the field and had little trouble evading the Oreand guards. Reiff, the other forward, added five shots from the field to his team's total and Cairnes, at center, played an excellent floor game and had a big part in working the ball against two opponents in two field goals. Cohn and Charlton, Oreand forwards, were aggressive but failed to count from the field.
MACKSVILLE, 27; MBRIAM, 11
The big Macksville quintet had little trouble in defeating the Merriam five at 11 o'clock this morning, Macksville's forwards were tall and covered the floor well, and as a result, the score at the end of the first half was 17-0 in favor of the Macksville quintet. Merriam staged a big rally at the beginning of the second period, however, and played the big team off to scoring 11 points before Macksville could add a single goal to its total.
Smith and Landreth, forwards on the Macksville five, displayed some of the best work seen thus far in the tournament and were the big factors in Macksville's one-sided victory. Thompson, left forward on the Merriam quintet, was the outstanding feature in his team's work but his play was not sufficient to offset the fast offensive of the Macksville five.
LARNED, 26; BONNER, 18
Bonnar Springs started out with a jump but could not last and Larned tied the score in a few minutes play. After that the Larned forwards, Grove and Fox, broke away from the Bonner Springs guards and from then on there was no stopping to the western Kansas quintet. At the end of the first half, Larned led by a score of 15 to 7. Fox's long shots and free-throwing featured the game.
Sedan nosed out Kansas City by one point, winning 22 to 21 in a sensational come-back in the final minute of play. Sedan was in the lead at the end of the first half, 17 to 12, but Kansas City cut down the lead and was at one time four points ahead, McSpadney shot the winning basket just an instant before the gun. Page contributed to the Kansas City boys, contributing 10 goals. Mencken's four goals in the first half, together with Glenn's eight points, made up the bulk of the winning team's scores.
ROSEDALE, 23; HORTON, 18
Rosedaile defeated Horton 23 to 18 in a thrilling spurt at the finish. John Lonborg, brother of Arthur Lonborg of Varsity football and basketball fame, was the star for Horton, and scored over half his team's points. Swarner and Woodstock, at forward, were Rosedaile's stars. Rosedaile led 11 to 6, at the end of the first half, but Horton spurred and took the lead toward the end of the second half, 18 to 17. Two goals by Woodstock finally swapped up the game for Rosedaile. Arkansas City easily won its first game, defeating Lecompton by a 27 to 5 count. Ragged play on the part of Lecompton and the guarding of Arkansas City were chiefly responsible. The Arkansas City team had snatched but their center, Kuhler, was the largest man taking part in the morning's games. He made twelve of his team's points. McCarty, at guard for Arkansas City, shot his first goal of the season in the second half.
