VIOLATORS FATE LEFT TO DISCIPLINARIANS
Mrs. Brown and W. S. G. A. to Make Recommendations to Senate Committee
THREE CHARGES NAMED
Prompt Action Will be Taken to Enforce Rules—No Guess at Verdict
Punishment for the University men and women caught at the public dance in Eckle's hall Wednesday night, in violation of the University Senate and W. S. G. A. rulings, rests with the Secondary Committee. Two rules of the State Assembly rule prohibiting students attending dances open to the public, and rule prohibiting attendance at such mid-week dances. In addition to these two, the women are guilty of violating the ruling of the Women's Student Government Association forbidding mid-week dates. Consequence will be answer for three charges, while the men are responsible for only two.
"This is the first incident of the kind we have had," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, this morning. "I do not know what action the Disciplinary Committee may take. I shall make a report, but the punishment inflicted will rest with the committee.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 30, 1917.
A WILLFUL VIOLATION
"In most cases of violation of rules there are extenuation circumstances which makes the offence less serious but in this case I can see none. It is simply a willful violation of rules which every student is familiar with Personally, I favor leniency with the violators, as not all were recognized."
The action to be taken by the disciplinary committee is not known yet, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, chairman. The matter will be treated by other matters consideration received by other matters before the committee this year. The decision and punishment will depend on the report of Mrs. Brown to the committee, and the matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the violators, not all the violators were caught will miss the difference if the committee follows the same policy used in the recent "Naughty Rally" controversy.
W. S. G. A. TO ACT
The matter will be taken up immediately by the Women's Student Government Association, according to the officers. They will probably decide on what punishment should be imposed; the women violators of the mid-week date rule and will make recommendations to the Disciplinary Committee.
APPLYING FOR COMMISSIONS
"Reports of violations of the rules have been coming to us for a long time," said Mrs. Brown this morning. "We wanted to make sure the rules were being violated before taking any action, and the only way to make sure was to visit the dance. If we are to follow those things, I believe they should be Otherwise respect for University authority will be decreased. We hope this move on our part will help in keeping the rules in force."
Many Kansas men are sending letters of application for commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The eminence of war has awakened the body to the realization that to wage a successful war requires trained men.
Many Kansas Men Will Take Examinations in Officers' Reserve Corns
The Officers' Reserve Corps was provided for in the Defence Act passed by Congress June 3, 1916. This corps consists of Majors, Captains, First Lieutenants, and Second Lieutenants. The elementary subjects in which an applicant is examined are grammar, arithmetic, geography, and mathematics; examination is sometimes waived if the board is presented with evidence showing the applicant's previous high grade work.
The professional examinations are in administration, drill regulations, field service regulations, military defense regulations, guard duty, small arms firing regulations, and topography. A general average of 70% is required to pass.

Frosh Wear Caps Monday
Officers of the Men's Student Council announced today that freshmen are expected to appear on Mount Oread Monday wearing the distinctive postage stamp caps.
The regulation is that caps should be worn in the swing from April 1.
Although the disciplinary committee of the University Senate is considering the abolishing of paddling as a means of enforcing the freshmen cap rule, no action has been taken. Student sentiment expressed in the poll today favored the cap traditon.
So freshmen should wear their class cars on Monday.
CYRIL MAUDE GAINS MANY STUDENT FRIENDS
Noted British Actor Wins Audience With His Strong Performanc
First, let it be said that Cyril Maude is not "grumpy". Second, Cyril Maude is just as approachable as our own "Uncle Jimmy" and thoroughly interested in young people.
"I have a boy in Eton College. I have not seen him since August and will not see him again until in December," she says, her eyes to see him before that time."
And Mr. Maude's great, blue eyes be beaming with love that a father would understand.
"I am sorry that the time is fast coming for his enlistment. But he feels that he ought to do his 'bit', so I ask him to call Maude mjoo college audiences—
"It is quite inspirational to play to the young people tonight, because they are so quick to grasp every detail of a story pointed, however, when I did not hear your songs. I am used to the school boys singing between acts. This is done in Europe and in many countries of the east in the United States."
Conversation naturally drifted to the war. Some one mentioned that there was a revolution eminent in Spain.
"Pshaw!" said Mr. Maude, "It is really too bad. A nice chap that king. I men him once when he invited me to the royal box. After all, there is no difference between a constitutional monarchy and a republic. Our British king is nothing more than a figure-head. A very democratic fellow, too. The royal party attends the theater quite often. The first movie we see in it is a royal box I was, of course, shy and a little up stage; but after a while we became more at ease and had a nice that."
And to show Cyril Maule's humanitarianism—"It is certainly gratifying to see so many of the boys and girls working their way through college. Whenever I come to a table and am waited on by a college boy or girl, I always feel like standing up and shaking hands with them."
Every one who saw "Grumpy"
knows Cyril Maude is an artist.
Faculty members have ranked his
work above that of David Warfield.
Mr. Maude has a finesse and delicate
temperament in his acting that makes
it both pleasing and delightful in
roles of senile characters.

Noted Theologian Explains That Feeling Toward This Country Is Misunderstood
JAPAN ISN'T HOSTILE TO U.S. SAYS MATHEWS
URGES FAIRER TREATMENT
Declares We Do Not Show Oriental Respect That Is Due Them
That Japan does not want war with the United States is the verdict, after several years of travel in the Orient, of Shailer Matthews, dean of School of Theology at Chicago University, who lectured on "The United States and the Orient," in Fraser Chapel yesterday afternoon.
"Japan does not forget that it was Commodore Perry who introduced her, after 200 years of isolation and protection to the nth power, to the other nations of the world. During the early years of Japan's wider international relations, relations between United States acted like a big brother despite all misunderstandings there is still a strong bond of sentiment between Japan and the United States.
"But this is not the case with Japan and nations other than the United States. Between 1880 and 1890 all Europe plunged into a wild scramble for every square foot of land that could be taken by fair means or by violence. Africa was split and parceled to powers like European powers, and the same process was well under way if not already accomplished in China.
JAPAN and the United States
JAPAN WAS MISTREATED
"The United States got the Philippine Islands which made us an Oriental power. From the other side of the Pacific Ocean, through the haze of intrigue, things do not look as they do in this country. And probably Japan, suffering from ten years of European aggrandizement, has suspected the United States of everything that we have suspected her of.
OURS A FRATERNAL SPIRIT "But our friendly relations with Japan rest upon a firmer basis than do her relations with other powers. We have had an square foot of land in the Orient without we attempt to establish a sphere of influence in China. Our commercial and financial dealings are not tied up with politics. And an extraordinary spirit of fraternism has been built up between the countries by our missionaries."
DRESS UP WEEK IS COMING
March 31 to April 7 Will Be "Sunday Clothes" Time for K-12
for K. U.
Spring is here, Easter is coming and the "Dress-Up" week is on its way. It will be here March, 31 to April, and every man and woman the U.S. needs to get a new suit, hat, shoes and thing decreed by the powers.
In the great, busy world of today, we judge those we meet by first impressions. Personal appearance is an important factor in the success, or failure, of a woman and her man woman, the kind of clothes we wear may mean success or failure in life.
"The decision of the Supreme Court of U.S. upholdings the city manager law, given Wednesday will doubtless give a great impetus to the adoption of the new rule in Kansas cities," said Homer Talbot, secretary of the Municipal Reference department of the Extension Division, this morning.
CITY MANAGER LAW UPHELD
The Weather
French Play Date Changed
Wichita and Eldorado have already adopted the committee manager plan and a considerable number of other cities are considering the plan.
So lets all "Dress-Up" for the Spring Dress-Up, even if it's only a new tie, or a new shirt, a waist or we can afford only to shine our shoes and press our clothes—remember, "that well pressed is well dressed."
Supreme Court Decision Yesterday Will Give Impetus to Law's Adoption
Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday. Warmer in northeast portion and colder in west portion tonight. Colder Saturday.
In the Wichita case arguments upholding the law were made by Earl Blake, a former member of the legislative committee of the League of Kansas Municipalities and by exonerator Chester I. Long.
French Play Date Changed The French play, "Le Voyage de M. Perrichron," will be presented here April 14 instead of April 12.
Profs. W. A. Griffith and W. M. Hekking will go to Cincinnati Tuesday, April 3, to a meeting of the College Art Association. Professor Griffith will read a paper on "Loan Exceedings in Universities," and Professor Hekking will read one on "Technical Training in College Work."
WILL ATTEND MEETING OF COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION
Both professors have been invited to a reception at the home of C. P. Taft where they will see his valuable art collection.
"I hate to see the paddles fly," Chirped sweet Miss Co-ed Keelum—A freshman growled, in passing; "I'd rather see than feel 'em."
Plain Tales from the Hill
"I wish this wind would stop blowing. My eyes are almost out," complained a student this morning. And then he rubbed again.
Floating in midair above Oread Beach, without any visible means of support, the large American flag in front of the Phi Chi house attracted much attention and comment today. The stairs suspended from a heavy cord strung in endless-chain fashion between the standpipe tower and the Phi Chi house. Freshman brothers have been detailed to raise the flag at every event they appear it at sunset, wherefore they arise in form at or near 5:30 g. m.
Our old friend, "P. C.," caught the spirit of the wind today. At the last observation it was running thirteen minutes fast.
Fussed escort: "Why—er—no, I don't."
Two men were walking up Fourteenth street last night. One threw his arm heavenward in a soulful gesture and declaimed, "There, see that big gob of stars right next to the moon? They's the ones we study," he said. "We are those who question the cultural attainments of the college student."
She: "It blows my collar up in my face all the time."
Fair maiden: "Do you know why do not like this wind?"
Are the Laws preparing?
They are. A squad of about forty lawyers-to-be, led by "Major" Harold Lytle, drilled on the campus this morning. All went well until the team's players have been important orders, because the squad were plainly confused as the wind carried the documents away and the dignified "major" in an uncontested manner them. The loss of a portion of the "orders" brought the drill to an end.
"The Fossil-Flyver" is the title of the latest geological specimen found by advanced students in geology. This little racer, a fordlet, was taken inside of Haworth Hall this morning and permanently established as one of the many specimens in the building.
A well known slang phrase has been removed from the realms and placed with the honest-to-goodness-English. When speaking of any one who entered a door in any building on Mt. Oread, it is now, perfectly good English to say that he breezed in.
That fees may be allowed to supplement the salary appropriations made directly by the legislature was the interpretation of a conference of heads of educational institutions and the university-general in Topeka yesterday.
Many lost their hats in the many-mile gale this morning, but few had the queer experience of Oscar Perkins. Perkins' hat was blown from his head as he stood in front of the Administration building at 10:30 this morning. It no longer looked like it needed it. The hat was finally discovered, lodged behind one of the light globes at the entrance of the building.
FEES MAY SUPPLEMENT
SALARY FUND—BREWSTER
Heads of departments feared that in dividing the appropriations the maintenance appropriation had sometimes been larger than necessary and that, as a result, the appropriations for salaries had been left too low. In S.M. Chawner's opinion that the fee funds could be drawn upon in such cases as in the past to supplement the direct appropriations.
New Course in Bee Culture
A new course in bee culture will be established soon by the department of entomology. It is intended for students who wish to specialize in entomology. Plans are under way for an apiary on the University grounds.
The municipal reference department of the Extension Division receives daily inquiries about the Bone Dry Law. Many cities have asked for a model Bone Dry ordinance which has been prepared by the department.

Frank Speaight Will Interpret "A Tale of Two Cities" Wed-
Frank Speaight of London, "the man who make Dickens live," will appear in dramatic recital of Dickens" "A Tale of Two Cities" in Fraser Hall next Wednesday at four-thirty o'clock.
University people will recall Mr. Speaulk's popular recital of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" here last year. As a renowned reader, Mr. Speaulk posits the same characterizations, as well as the ability to make each separate character actually appear, displaying much ingenuity in his impersonations. His power or vivifying the abstract charm pleases the most critical audience.
Mr. Speailight is brought to the University by the Extension Division.
One professor who leaves the room when his class is taking a quiz, asks his students to write and sign the following pledge: "I have neither given nor received help during this course. If some fundraiser seems nothing more than the telling of an additional lie. Get the behind me, Satan!
The Kappa Sigma fraternity will give an informal dance in Eagles' hall. Mrs. Mary Phillips and Mrs. Jack Lawrence will chapenor.
