UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UNIVERSITY STARTS WELFARE CAMPAIGNS The Child Welfare Department Would Keep Children Busy During Vacation The department of child welfare of the University is starting a number of industrial, thrift, and civic welfare projects to engage the attention of the boys and girls of Kansas during the summer vacation period. It is planned to form a group of boys and girls in the university's student leader, who will compete for the various prizes offered to the club obtaining the best results. Seven projects have been announced by the department of child welfare, The Fraternal Aid Union of Lawrence has offered two prizes of $100 and $50 to the club making the best showing in a summer camp. The prize has been offered by the State Savings Bank of Topeka to the clubs saving the largest amount of money during the summer. Prizes are also offered to the two clubs collecting the largest amount of paper. Other prizes are announced monthly by the clubs work, girls' needle work, and to the club making the strongest campaign against the cigarette evil. The only conditions imposed upon these contests are that each club shall be under the direction of some older leader, and that the work must be done by the members of the club in co-operation and not as individual attempts. BY THE WAY. If you were a sorority and had faculty guests at dinner who believed that students should do all their studying at home of evenings, what would you do with the library dates? The moon was full and the library was bright, and with thought of the faculty guests. You probably would do exactly what the sorority did. You would meet the dates at the door with a forbidding countenance and hastily shoem them to your room with a gift with thought of the porch which was not visible from the front door. And you would tell them to make no sound or movement, even though you knew they would freeze if they didn't. Your professor would maintain, even if a few dates perish in the process.
