VOLUME XIV.
SENATE MAY ABOLISH
PADDLING OF FRESHMEN
Disciplinary Committee Will Determine Action to be Taken Monday
NO. 112.
UPPERCLASSMEN SAY NO
This student committee will take part in the discussion but will have no vote in the decision. No action will be taken by the Diplomatic Committee or the Council of the question. When asked their opinion on the question of paddling freshmen, professors and deans of the various schools refused to make statements until the action of the senate committee shall have been published.
Students Declare Time-Honored Custom Should Not be Discontinued
FACULTY FAVORS ABOLITION
Paddling of freshmen in the University of Kansas may be abolished if the University Senate decides to abollie the custom. The Disciplinary Committee will meet Monday after reports report they will make to the Senate.
FAULTY FAVORS ARGILON
A majority of the faculty members interest the custom, although some consider it all right if not carried too far.
The action of the committee will be guided partly by the opinion of the student committee appointed by the Men's Student Council, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, chairman of the committee.
COLLEGE PRESIDENT OBJECTS
When asked his opinion this morning, Paul Greever, president of the Men's Student Council, said: "I believe that paddling is a good thing and that we must have it if we are to keep any sort of freshman discipline. If the custom is abolished, practically all freshman order will disappear."
COLLEGE PRESIDENT JOHN L. KENNETH Jesse Gardner, head of the college, said, "I think to preserve the traditions of the University we will have to have paddling. If the freshmen can't be made to wear their caps any other way, they should be forced to wear them." I don't think that unnecessary roughness should be exercised, however."
Joe Gaitskill, former cheerleader,
said: "I am in favor of keeping the custom of paddling. I don't believe in having a certain clique do the work, but I think that all students should see that discipline is kept among the first-year men. The method used here is to men hand do so with paddling the students fresh from senior liberties in high school will run the school."
ONLY SOPHOMORES NEED
APPLY AT THIS PARTY
BONDIE TAKES PRIOR
Blondie Jones, president of last year’s convention, said, “I am strongly opposed to some of the principals of our ever present offeeminate reformers. The University of Kansas uses the wielding of the paddle as the last resort for violation of its customs.
It is only when a freshman decides to tear down traditions and announce to the University that the customs she cherishes are all wrong, then is the paddle resorted to. I understand that the move to abolish the custom of paddling prompted in the minds of many Lawrence pastors. I suggest that the students ignore outside interference and by no means allow a time-honored, respected custom to fall by the wayside.”
RONDIE TAKES FIRM STAND
Roy Russell, c19, has been appointed chairman of the sophomore party committee to succeed Kenneth G. Bell who still retains his position as mum of his children. He will work with the sophomore party committee in giving the party.
This party will be strictly a sophomore affair for the purpose of furnishing a big get-together meeting for all members of the class. To carry out this plan the committee has decided that one of each couple must be a sophomore. Announcement of the date will be made later.
Hodder To Teach In California
Prof. F. H. Hodder, of the department of history, will leave June 3 for Berkeley, California to teach at the Summer Session of the University of California. Professor Hodder will conduct two lecture courses in American history at the University during the Summer Session. Professor Hodder will return in the fall to resume his work here.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAR CH 14, 1917.
Another smallest class on the hill has been discovered. It is the class in Portuguese which was started this semester. Two students are enrolled in the class, and only one is getting credit for the work. The Portuguese language is spoken by about half the people in South America and for that reason is considered important at this time when South America is offering so many splendid opportunities to college students.
PROF, PATTERTON LECTURES BEFORE POLYL Club TONIGHT
Prof. D, F. Patterson of the department of history will lecture on "The Battle of the Marne" before the International Polity Club in Room 202 Administration Building, tonight. The lecture will be open to the public.

TEACHERS WILL STUDY
HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEMS
Round Table Discussions Will Permit Lively Talks Friday
Everything of the high school good or bad will be discussed and lectured about Friday and Saturday when the fourteenth annual conference of Kansas high schools and academies meets in Lawrence. The round tables, that popular method of getting to the more intricate points of the subject are set at thirty-three o'clock and Saturday morning at ten-thirty o'clock. Each high school department will have a separate round table.
Besides these informal discussions, talks will be made by leading educators in Kansas and the Middle West. Among these speakers will be W. D. Ross, state superintendent; Edward O. Sisson, Iowa state commissioner of education; Grant Showerman, University of Wisconsin; F. W. Johnston, University of Chicago; and others of first rank.
Corn Cob Pipe Nurses
Artistic Temperment
"Do you mind if I smoke?"
No one cared, so John E. Kellerd produced a pipe. This pipe was of the cob species. Think of it! Nursing and academic temperament with a cornbob pipe!
"This young, man, is my one and only wife in whom I am well pleased." Mr. Keller articulates as precisely as a metronome. His words are long-legged and lumpy with much Latin. And he is bald—artistically dressed in a fringe of coal black hair that stands out from his head like underbrush.
"How did you begin to play Shake seare?"
"Sir, I have attained my present enminence in the tragic roles of the Immortal Bard by first mastering my own mother tongue and by learn-
The tragedian then began to puff volcanically on the pipe that had been plucked very young from the stalk. Did this augus an eruption? It did.
"By God, sir!' I will wager a thousand dollars that I'm the only actor who can play 'Hamlet' with the proper articulation and breathing?" It is now a matter of history that no one "called" the offer.
The Weather
And then Mr. Keller led the famous soldioilquy from "Hamlet." His voice is wonderful in depth and tone. There is no sawing of the air and no cheap show of emotion. And this all happened in a Lawrence hotel.
"The average actor does not know the meaning of his lines. There is too much claptrap in the profession. The thought of a line is just like the thought of the human brain. It rises in steps just like the hilt of the ground, one up one down. The preceding will always yield the crypaking of the next. A man is a fool, sir, who will attempt Shakespeare without study!"
A new scholarship for women of the University has been established by Mrs. Frank Egbert Bryant in memory of her husband, Dr. Frank Egbert Bryant, professor of Engl. at University of Florida will be known as the Frank Egbert Bryant Memorial Scholarship and is open to the women of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes of any school in the University. It is available for students awarded April Applicants must consult Professors Gallo, Hyde, Jones, Wilson or Oliver before March 21.
Sigma Delta Chi meets tonight 8:15
Kanza hause.
"I am truly glad that I met you. Some day, some time perhaps I shall meet you again, young man." The tragedian was last seen standing with his long legs apart and hands thrust into trouser pockets. But the little corn-cob pipe was still in his lips smoking lazily and feverishly.
Partity cloudy tonight; warmer in west portion; Thursday probably rain with colder in west portion.
New Scholarship For Women
KANSAS SHOULDN'T LAG IN SALARIES--TEMPLIN
University Must Compete With Other Schools and Outside Industries
TECH SCHOOLS PAY MOST
College Professors Should Be Broadened by Travel, Thinks the Dean
SIXTY EIGHT TEAMS IN H. S. TOURNAMENT
"The salaries for university professors must go up or the institutions will go down," said Dean Olin Templin this morning.
"A higher scale of salaries is being paid in the universities of the country. The University of Kansas should not lag in this advance" or it will be unable to meet competition of other schools and outside industries."
That a university professor should not only be allowed to travel but that he should be compelled to go away if he is going 20 years is the opinion of Dean Templin.
It is generally conceded that if the instructor who is a highly-trained specialist is to have a human and genial influence in his classroom he must have contact with a wide environment. The average salary of the university professor is not sufficient to achieve this result.
KANSAI NURSERY
"I cannot be sensitive to strongly against the disposition to pay higher salaries to faculties of the technical schools than to the college," said Dean Pemplin. "Of course, college positions can be filled for any amount that can be named, as other positions about the University, but the establishment of a policy of inferior salaries for college men will inevitably result in the gravitation of inferior men to the college field.
KANSAS MUST BID HIGHER
"Good men, men really worthy of the responsibility of the training of young men and women for life, as a teacher, an educator, or their them, seem to be getting scarier; other institutions are bidding higher and higher for them, and Kansas will have to recognize the state of the country to take the inevitable consequences."
Foreign Policy of United States is Subject of Faculty Talk Thursday
PROF. DAVIS WILL LECTURE
Thursday
"Foreign Policy" will be the subject of a lecture by Prof. W. W. Davis of the department of history, Thursday at 4:30 in Fraser Hall. Dean Olin Templin says, "This will be one of the most important lectures in our year, especially since one is now interested in foreign affairs."
Professor Davis will discuss America's foreign policy and certain policies of neighboring powers which appear either to conflict with or to advance the interest of the United States. He is particularly interested in the recent tendencies to modify the Monroe Doctrine and the seeming intention of the German and Japanese nations to abandon this doctrine. He will discuss briefly our present relations with Mexico, Japan and Latin America. He may touch some phase of the American-German situation.
Because of the illness of Professor Billing's daughter, the meeting of the Sigma Xi will be held at the home of Dean Walker Thursday night. W. S. Hunter, assistant professor of psychology will read a paper at the meeting. A. T. Smith, Oscar Maag, Rolla Harger, Carl Anderson and Louis Madison Hall will be initiated at that time.

Athletic Management Will Have to Entertain 612 Players and Coaches
START AT 10 A. M. FRIDAY
Must Keep Up Continual Play ing to Finish Schedule Saturday Night
Sixty-eight boys' and girls' teams have been entered in the tenth annual basketball tournament for Kansas high schools, and will compete for championships of Kansas in Robinson Gymnasium Friday and Saturday.
The total number of entries Monday night was fifty-eight, but ten new entries came into Manager Hamilton's office yesterday, boosting the total number to sixty-eight, or a gain of 50. He also added all previous records and is more than Manager Hamilton expected. He estimated that sixty teams would enter.
WOULD ENTERTAIN PLAYERS The big problem confronting the athletic management is to furnish entertainment for this small army of basketball players. Each team is allowed eight players and a coach. Thus a total of 612 players and coaches will be here for the tournament.
Besides the high school basketball players and the large number of high school rosters, there also will be five or six hundred high school teachers at the fourteenth annual conference for Kansas high schools and academies, two to three of which are debating Kansas high schools and the second typewriting contest.
The boys' teams entered in the tournament are: Alton, Argentine, Arkansas City, Atchison, Baldwin, Beille Plaire, Bonner, Bucklin, Cawker City, Clay County, Dodge City, Eiffingham, Elmsoe, Ellsworth, Emporia, Gardner, Glen Elder, Goodland, Greeley County, Halstead, Hazleton, Iowa, Kansas City, Larned, Lawrence, Lecompton, Mackayville, Malone, Marian, Newbury, Owatomie, Perry, Porter, Preston, Reading, Bosedale, Saliner, Washington, WaKeeney, Wellington, Wichita, Winchester, and Winfield.
FIRST WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW
The first of the high school basketball players will begin to arrive to watch the game on oclock, Friday morning. Two days of constant playing will be required to decide the champions of the state. Each morning, afternoon, and night will be counted as a division in the game.
The girls' teams entered in the tournament are: Argentine, Atchison, Baldwin, Burlington, Chanute, Elsom, Englewood, Gardner, Greeley County, Hamlin, Hiawata, Mankato, Merrigan Nickerson, Olathe, Paola, Potter, Rosedale, Wamego, and Waterville.
"Other Things About K. U." is the subject of the talk being given by Dutch Wedell in Myers Hall this afternoon. This talk is in part a repetition and enlargement of some of the topics which he discussed in his "Things About K. U." lecture last week.

RAIN LESSENS DANGER FROM SCARLET FEVER
Lucille Sterling, Latest Suspect is Third Student to be Isolated
MANY CASES OVER STATE
H. S. Teachers and Students Take Little Chance in Attending Conference
The danger of an epidemic of scarlet fever at the University was lessened by the cold rain yesterday, is the result of John Sundwall, University physician.
Lucille Sterling, c'19, who rooms at 1016 Alabama street, has been isolated as a suspect, although her case has not been positively diagnosed as scarlet fever. The other scarlet fever patients, Byron Owen, c'20 and Ida Eperl, c'20, have light attacks and neither is thought to be in danger.
"More than one hundred cases of sore throat have been reported at the hospital in the last three days," said Doctor Sundwall this morning. "All precautions possible are being taken to reduce the danger to a minimum."
"The cold rain has undoubtedly been a check to the disease, but the situation can not be called either encouragement or discouraging. If any student is troubled with a sore throat or sickness, he owes it to himself and to University to report immediately to his physician or the university hospital."
ELEVEN CASES OF MEASLES
ELEVEN CASES OF MEASLES
Medium cases of spreading among University students have been confirmed that these cases have been confined to the isolation hospital. There are now eleven cases in the hospital. Warren W. Vooody, c19, was the latest measles suspect sent to the isolation hospital. "This is the most rapidly in the city," said Doctor Sutter. The extreme care should be taken to avoid its spread among the students."
Inquiries coming in from high school teachers and students expected in Lawrence this week show anxiety as to whether they should postpone meetings, according to Dean F. J. Kelly, dean of the School of Education.
"Students should observe closely the set of rules published yesterday and in every way assist the health authorities to prevent any further spread of disease. The avoidance of closely the most common dresses and dances should be more closely than ever. Such conditions are the most productive causes of epidemics."
NO DANGER TO H. S. STUDENTS
"I can see no reason why high school teachers and students should hesitate to attend the various meetings scheduled for the week at Lawrence," Doctor Sundwall announced this morning. "I have conferred with Doctor Crumbine and Doctor Sippy of the State Board of Health about the matter. They say scarlet fever is more or less pandemic and widely distributed in the state. Both concur in the situation that the institution does not demand the quarantine of Lawrence. Every precaution possible will be taken by the University Hospital Service to reduce the danger to a minimum.
SPEAKER CHOSEN FOR BACCALAURE SERMON
The Reverend Frank G. Smith, of the First Congregational church, Kansas City, will deliver the baccalaureate address at the University this spring, according to an announcement made today by F. B. Hamilton, chairman of the committee on University lectures and convocations. The talk will be given in Robinson Gymnasium Sunday night, June 3.
Reverend Smith is known as one of the leading pastors of Kansas City, and is said to be an excellent public speaker. He gave the commencement address and the baccalaureate sermon at the Manual Training Normal school commencement at Pittsburg, last spring.
