Alumni Unanimously Favor Ir stallation of Honor System at K. U.
The March number of the Graduate Magazine of the University of Kansas is out. The magazine contains many items of especial interest to both the graduates and students. The leading story is a reprint of the address of Chas, F. Scott, "81, delivered before the Kansas legislature when it was holding memorial services for Major General Frederick Funston.
The magazine contains the essay of Carolyn McNutt, '17, on college spirit. This is the essay which won the prize for collisions which the Magazine offered.
Several communications from graduates concerning the Honor System are printed. Miss Cora Dolbee, '08, g'11; "I should recommend the use of the honor system in examinations." J. Kadane, '09; I can my mind and opinion that the honor system is the only system for use in higher institutions of learning." Allen S. Wilber, '13; "Many alumni are wondering whether three thousand students can develop a responsible, consistent and self reliant opinion and be satisfied with classified interests and the lack of close contact between different elements."
The Magazine also has a copy of the state manager bill, notes on the bills which the legislature passed, changes in the faculty, and sport items.

GAVE SECOND ADDRESS
GAVE SECOND ADDRESS ON UNIVERSITY TOPICS
Rev. O, C. Brown delivered the second of his series of three farewell addresses to students at the Baptist Church Sunday night on the subject, "If I had My University Life to Live Over." The substance of the questioner to a questionnaire on University life was made the basis of the lecture.
"The greatest value of University life is from the personal friendships made," said Rev. O. C. Brown, in part. "You should have a definite program, of undertaking too much, a lack of time and application. Every student should plan to have a good time and should be a leader. One must have convictions and stand by them."
"STATE NEEDS ATHLETIC WOMEN""--DR. CHILD
Girls' Teams Need Sporting Spirit to Overcome Individulum
idualism
By Dr. Dorothy Child Associate Professor of Physical Education
The good to be derived from has ketball practice by young women of the high school age can be very great. At this period in their lives pressure is being exerted upon the girls from every side. Teachers in each department are urging them to qualify for collegiate work—parties and dances are appealing to their newly awakened social sense—and more awareness of safety is imposed at home. This accumulated strain may and often does lead to nervous breakdown, and almost always because of insufficient or ill-directed exercise.
A universal defect in girls' early education at present is shown by their lack of "team work" and of the cheerful equivalency which is essential for true sportsmanship. Girls' training is individualistic, and as a result they tend to be more self-confident in which a team plays as a group, with a definite program for concerted action, will help to overcome the difficulty.
It should be an aim of every coach and captain to instil in the team the sporting spirit—a habit of thought which will be helpful not only in raising the standard of the team as a member, but also as a member. To accept a decision without a murmur, to work for one's own team as much as against one's opponents, to be impersonal in victory and in defeat, to be a good loser,—these are some of the accomplishments that good basketball helps to cultivate. Teams develop their judgment, they learn to think and act quickly.
The exercise itself is extremely beneficial, unless stair air or overstrain enter in. We urge that candidates for women's teams be given a careful medical examination before admission to athletics, and that there be constant supervision by a coach, preferably a woman, who has been trained in hygiene as well as in physical culture. No girl should be permitted to play games at the times when her physical welfare demands rest. The few instances where permanent injury to health has resulted from school games may be traced to violations of this rule. As soon as parents realize this, they will be the first to insist upon appropriate coaching for girls's games.
The State wants fine, strong, athletic women. Instead of the pale, nervous valetudinarian type of previous generations, we aim at something like the Greek ideal. Games and outdoor sports help us more than any other factor in reaching this ideal. Let us shape them to fit our needs.
The young women of Beloit college have taken their stand for preparedness. Two classes, which will meet twice a week, have been organized to receive instruction in first aid and hospital work. Beloit has been so great that it has become necessary to require the applicants to be drawn only from the upper three classes. About forty have joined classes.-Marquette Tribune.
Women Prepare
One woman out of every five in the University of Washington is wholly self-supporting and one out of every eight is partially so, according to a statistical index of the 1610 co-eds of the university. Of this number 256 live in sorority houses, while 310 live in approved boarding houses. There are 940 living at home in Seattle—Cardinal.
Harvard Negro College is the university in boasting of the only military unit made up entirely of negroes in an American university.

CITY GIVES MONEY TO SAVE OLD ELM TREES
State Entomologist Now Experimenting With New Method of Fighting Pests
Lawrence is the first city in the west to take under municipal control, the insect pests. The city commissioners have appropriated $2,000 to be spent for the purpose of controlling the canker worm. This work has been placed in charge of Preston State entente institution and head of the department of anatomy in the University. Through the services and tests made by the University it is hoped to find a means of destroying the canker worm to save the elm trees.
In many eastern cities where the canker worm has chosen the elm tree for its municipal store house, spraying with Paris Green has not only killed this larva, but the caulking moth as well. The work being done on the University campus consists of a series of experiments whereby the canker worm can be kept from stripping the leaves from the "Giant Elm."
The alarming increase in the number of these insects in the last three years has made it necessary for the city to take action if it is to save one of its greatest threats—the living turtle who are fighting the canker worm in Lawrence, is the unusual size of the trees.
The remedial devices have all been used for the same purpose, that of keeping the larva from climbing the tree trunk to lay their eggs. The cotton band, oil cloth, lime wash, tar paper and tanglefoot will all cover the insects to check all the insects. The latest method, the screen wire band, is now being tested. It remains to be seen whether it will prove successful or not.

Students' ineradicable desire for mail makes the postman a popular man in University circles. Between classes, a dozen girls waylay him to demand their letters. Going down the Hill at anon the one remark sure to be heard is, "Wonder if I got any mail today?"
Of course, there are variations in the remark. "Hope I got that check!" and "George always writes to me on Sunday." are favorite forms.
The fact that the longers for checks and letters from George are sometimes disappointed by finding only an advertisement of millinery and a

The faculty of the University of Texas has recently made new and stringent rules as to when the university dances should stop. Instead of the regular dances having to end at 4:30 a. m., they must now close at 2:30 a. m. An exception to this rule is at commencement, when dances must stop at 4:30 a. m., instead of 6 a. m., as previously—Ex.
