SENATE CLOTURE RULE FAVORED BY FACULTY
Majority of Professors Sign Telegram Urging Modernization of Senate
In a telegram to Charles Curtis and W. H. Thompson, senators from Kansas, 154 members of the faculty of the University of Kansas expressed their opinion of the present rules of the Senate when it permit unlimited use of the questioning rule by which debate may be limited is to come up today in the senate and the telegram was sent last night to influence the passage of a cloture rule so that it will be impossible for a small number of senators to block the will of the majority and times defeat important legislation.
The telegram was instigated by Prof. J. W. J wheeler and Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering, Out of the total number of faculty members approached, only one refused to sign. All apparently were anxious to approve the adoption of a cloture rule.
Prof. C. A. Dykstra, author of the telegram, expresses the opinion that the Senate should have had such a rule long ago. Prof. B. F. Moore, of the department of political science, points this out as one of the defects of his commission. Prof. D. L. Peterson, of the department of history, expressed himself as distinctly in favor of the adoption of the cloture rule for Senate procedure. Dr. W. L. Burdick, of the School of Law, characterized as disgraceful the proceeding by which a small number of senators could defeat the will of the majority. Chancellor Strong was urged to inform the telephone asked that his name be added to the telegram. The telegram follows;
"To the Kansas Senators at Washington: We, the undersigned members of the faculty of the University of Kansas, commend the action of our senators in the recent Senate billbuster, and respectfully ask that your influence be exerted on behalf of a cloture rule in the United States government in which a small minority rules is essentially medieval. We expect you to do what you can to modernize the United States Senate."

Nazareth Boyajian Sought in Vain for Mother and Sister in Native Armenia
Dr. William L. Burdick received the following letter today from Nazareth Boyajian, the Armenian who left his work in the School of Law to seek his relatives who have disappeared in the massacre by the Turks;
Dear Doctor Burdick: I have landed at Portland, Maine. I have been after my people and after all I have given up hopes of finding them. The condition of our Armenians is simply terrible. It is a nightmare and a challenge. It has been the massacre that the country is ruined, and there is bloodshed all over Armenia. Inconceivable is the unfortunate people's suffering.
I am very tired and restless and physically weak. The voyage on the ocean from Christiana was a very unpleasant one, and I must stay here for a while on account of my empty purse, and physically being so tired
Dear Doctor, if God helps me to make some money, I will come there to take the summer course. My regards to all the Junior Law class and teachers. I just had begun to like K. U., but this barbarous war and fanatic Mohammed persecution and massacre have stolen my time, my life and pleasure. I have done what I could for my people. I will stay in
the United States for a while. I'll try to find a job here of some kind. If not, I will go to some other large town to find something to do.
This is the second trip that Mr. Boyajian has made to his native country of Armenia in attempting to find his family. He came to the University of Kansas last semester and enrolled as a junior in the School of Law. He addressed the students and faculty members in the interest of Armenian relief at a convocation in November.
One out of every 122 residents of Kansas attends a college, on account of which fact the state claims to be the greatest college state. Iowa is second with one out of every 171 residents in college.
With best regards, I am yours truly,
Naezwith A. Boulain
