FINAL VOTE ON INCOME BILL THIS AFTERNOON
Representative Sowers Heads Fight to Put Measure Through the House
NO. 108.
NEEDS TWO-THIRDS VOTE
If Passed it Will Go to the People as an Amendment to Constitution
RULLETIN
Late this afternoon the House passed the Permanent Income resolution to refer the question of income for educational institutions to the people of the state by a vote of 85 to 35. The resolution passed the Senate last Wednesday by a vote of 27 to 9. A two-thirds vote was required to pass the resolution.
The Permanent Income resolution which passed the senate last Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 27 to 9, and the vote in the house late this afternoon.
The senate resolution to submit this question to the people came up for consideration in the house last night. Bardwell of Riley, Sowers of Sedgwick, Day of Meade, Gilman of Leavenworth, and Brooks of Chautauqua, made strong arguments favoring the adoption of the measure.
EQUAL BASIS FOR ALL
Brooks in closing his argument pointed out that this measure would apply to state schools in the same way that taxes are raised for the support of the district and city schools, and that it will simply give what they may depend on in the way of income.
ROLL CALL POSTPONED
Geddes, of Butler, and Johnson, of Brown, led the fight against the bill. Geddes contended the measure would increase the expense of running the schools and that the legislature would have to increase the appropriations the same as now and the plan was intended merely to allow the institutions to use themselves and get more money from the taxpayers.
The final roll call on the measure was postponed until today at the request of friends of the measure. It will take two-thirds majority, or eighty-four affirmative votes to pass the measure. If passed by the house and signed by the governor, the resolution will be submitted to the voters at a regular election, as an amendment to the constitution.
In that case if a majority of the people vote favorably, it will become a part of the constitution. It cannot become a law before November 1918, since it must be submitted at a regular election.
WANT PICTURES FOR ANNUAL
Faces
Editor and Manager Say Section Will Have Army of Press
"The snap-shot section of the Jay-hawk will be one of its strongest features," Arnold Nordstrom, editor, said this morning when asked if he could have a video showing what would appear in this section. "I couldn't give you any figures now but I hope they will total a creditable standing army. However that will depend almost entirely upon how many shots we had, snap-shots and other informal pictures."
"We plan to use between thirty and thirty-five pages of snap-shot material this year," said Dick Gelvin, manager of the year book, "If individuals, clubs and other organizations will get busy and turn this stuff in at once. We want a snap-shot of every friend you have in the picture book this year, but it is an impossibility for our photo book to take all these turns. It is up to you to turn them in yourself. Now if your friend's picture does not appear in the big snap-shot section, no one is to blame but yourself."
Pictures should be turned in at the back of the Museum not later than March 15.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 7, 1917
Plans for a series of meetings of the men in the department were considered. It was decided that the ordeal would be carried out by a lancer at the next meeting March 27.
OPPOSE COMBINATION OF K.C. HOSPITALS
Medical Faculty Thinks Expense of Establishing Red Cross Base Too Great
The combination of the hospital at Rosedale and St. Margaret's as a Red Cross base hospital in case of war, was proposed at a recent meeting of the faculty. Much of the clinical work at Rosedale is done at St. Margaret's, but many of the patients would have meant merely the combination of the facilities of the two.
"No action was taken on the proposed consolidation of Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosedale and St. Martha, and I will not be at a meeting of the faculty of the School of Medicine last night," said Dr. John Sundwall today. "The plan was suggested at a previous meeting, but is not likely anything further
The plan as discussed was thought to be practical, but the expense of such a move would have made a special appropriation necessary, and so the matter has been dropped for the present.
At least one hundred beds would have been added to Rosedale, making its equipment well suited for use as a hospital and Red Cross training school.
There are at present no such institutions in this section of the country, and, should the United States become involved in the present European conflict, such a station probably would be given to Germany, when the diplomatic break with Germany made danger of war seem imminent.
If succeeding actions of the United States should make necessary the establishment of a Red Cross training school in this district, the plan may yet be carried out, but until such time, hospitals will remain independent.
TED CRONEMEYER RESIGNS
Leaves Department of Journalism for Publicity Position In Missouri

AGGIES ARE HERE FOR TRACK MEET TONIGHT
Will Gain Wreath of Victory In Four Events—If Kansas Lets Them
THEY HAVE WON BUT ONCE
Urbana Relay Runners Are
Booked to Smother Farmer
Team
Kansas will meet the Aggies in track tonight in Robinson Gymnasium. The meet will start promptly at seven-thirty and the meet will be over by eight-thirty o'clock.
The Aggie team so far this season has been weak, the Farmers having one of the poorest seasons in several years. Unless there is a great improvement over the showing they made in Convention Hall, Saturday night, the meet should be comparatively easy for the Jayhawkers.
PLAN TO WIN HALF MILE
The Manhattan team seems to have the best chance to break into the scoring in the 30-yard dash, one of the hurdle events, and the halfway kick the veteran半乳er, halfway hammer to leave Rodkey behind in the 880, but it is doubtful if he can turn the trick. Holroyd is running the dash events and the 440. The shot is a weak point for the Aggies but the high jump is being handled by Weimer, a man on last year's squad.
TREWEEKE WILL RUN HURDLES
One of the features of the meet to巾尉 Treweke is Dick Treweke in the hurdles. Coach Hamilton will probably use him in the high sticks. Crowley may be seen in the dash event and the relay. Aside from these events, the same as the one that won from the Normals in January.
The Farmers have a new man in the two-mile, and are equally weak in the pole vault. The Aggie relay team finished after Nebraska in the K. C. A. c meet. In direct contrast the Kansas track team has shown a remarkable ability to win points in all of the meets entered this year.
The Aggie entries for the meet are:
30 yard dash: Essick, Holroyd; mile run: Eggerman, Vorhies; high hurdles: Wilder, Weimier; low hurdles: Wilder, Weimer; 440-yard dash: Holroyd, Grandfield; Kays, Tiltonson; high jump: Weimer, Wilder; shot put: Billings, Schafer; pole vault: Enlow; mile relay: Grandfield, Essick, Wilder, Keer, Holroyd.

Commerce Club Meets
Senate Passes This Ruling and Takes Up Questions of Eligibility and Hazing
Will Work With Student Council in Deciding These Questions
REFERRED TO COMMITTEES
The University Senate, at its regular meeting yesterday considered the three big problems of eliminating hazing, making eligibility rules unifiable, and creating a system of foregoing seniors to remain for commencement week exercises.
A resolution which advocated abolishing paddling and other physical violence used in enforcing the customs of the state, The Senate, in an informal vote, showed its sentiment against paddling. The resolution was referred to the disciplinary committee which consider punishment for violators.
A disciplinary committee appointed by the Senate will meet with Page Wagner, Marvin Gear, and Stanley Wagner, both of whom were appointed by the Student Council.
APPOINT STUDENT COMMITTEE
A committee was named to consider, the eligibility rules covering student activities. A few misunderstandings and non-conformity of such rules.
"It has been the habit of many seniors to leave school a week or so before commencement time without receiving their diplomas," said Mr. Engle. "This rule requires all seniors to be present at graduation."
"The band has no eligibility rules at all," said Prof. E. F. Engle, secretary of the Senate. The Glee Club and its organization have a bility of certain members. Several members of the Senate thought the rules of eligibility should be the same for all activities and organizations. Some of the rules are too strong while others are too weak as the committee will consider these points."
SENIORS MUST REMAIN
A rule was passed requiring candidates for degrees to be present at commencement time to receive their diplomas unless excused by the Charlicor尔 upon recommendation of the chair or school to which the candidate belongs.
ACULTY SALARIES ARE
CUT $15,000 BY HOUSE
CUT $15,000 BY HOUSE
Though the Senate has not yet reconsidered the amended bill it is expected to alloy the cut, in spite of the hard increase for K. U. faculty members. When the bill was passed by the Senate, Senator Wilder S. Metcalf of Douglas, and Senator Plumb of Lyons called attention to the fact that the state institutions were losing their tenure because of inadequate salaries.
The House of Representatives has cut the appropriation for salaries of members of the University of Kansas from $160,000 a year from that allowed by the Senate.
It is understood that the cut made by the House is due partly to the action of the House.

REPORTED AT HOSPITAL
"Students should be warned against the danger from messles and scarlet fever at this time," said Dr. John Sundwall this morning. "There are many ways to get away, such as Kansas City, and there is danger that they may get a start here.
We want all students who have bad coins, or the slightest紧迫 throat, to be taken seriously.
SENATE WILL PAY FOR JOSEPH'S REPORT
Upper House Also Allows $486 for Alumni Banquet of 1910
1916
The Claims and Accounts bill, introduced by the Senate ways and means committee, passed the Senate yesterday morning after an hour and a half debate. Before its final passage these items had been considered several items that had formerly been stricken out of the measure. Among these was an item of $261.06 to pay for the report of Senator J. D. Joseph to evaluate the efficiency and economy commission.
This commission was composed of Senator Joseph and Senator Lambertson, of the upper house, and Representative Burton of the lower house of the state legislature. Before undertaking their task, the members of the commission apportioned the work, Senator Lambertson taking the penal and charitable institutions, Senator Benjamin taking the state schools, and Representative Burton the financial side of the state schools and the state offices.
Senator Joseph and Representative Burton made investigations in the divisions assigned to them, but Senator Lambertson, chairman of the commission, in a way, made investigations in the other divisions; he made out a report, but Senator Lambertson, whose recommendations in regard to the educational side of the state schools disagreed with those of Senator Joseph, refused to let Senator Joseph publish his report with them, because of which he called the general report.
Senator Joseph then published his report at his own expense and the appropriation made is intended to reimburse him.
HASH HOUSE LEAGUE FORMS
Another item in the Claims and Accounts Bill is $486 for the K.U. alumni dinner in 1916. It had been the custom at the University for each class to collect a fee from the members for an alumni dinner. This money had always been turned into the state treasury and drawn out when needed. The cost was but last year. Auditor W. E. Davis refused to allow this money to be drawn for this purpose. The dinner was held and paid for by the alumni. The appropriation covers the amount withheld by Auditor Davis.
Stewards Meet Tomorrow to Are range Schedule and Revise Rules
A meeting of the stewards of boarding clubs has been called Thursday afternoon at 4:30 in the Kansan office, for the purpose of organizing and launching the Hash House League on its 1917 season. A representative from each club is asked to be there.
"Because of the time needed to arrange a schedule and revise or make new rules, it is necessary to make an early start," said one of the stewards this morning. "There are so many teams entered that we should get an early start in order to finish the season by the end of school."
Two years ago the Athletic Association donated $75 for the purpose of equipment and offered the use of all available fields on the campus. The prize for the winners in past years has been in the form of cups or as last year, when the winning Grady Club was given a big feed at Bricks.
At the meeting Thursday afternoon the commission, who govern the league, will be elected, and any necessary members of the league on its way, will be appointed.
Blackfriars Meet Tonight
The Blackfriars club will meet this evening for the purpose of discussing the play to be given by the club some time in May. The meeting will be held in Room 205 Fraser Hall, and will begin promptly at 7:00. The players are asked to be present, as the play is to be dicided upon this evening.

FACULTY MEN OPPOSE COMING OF MR. BRYAN
invitation to Former Secretary for Commencement Address Subject to Hot Debate
TABLE RETRACTION MOVE
Invitation to Talk Does Not Imply Sanction of Views, Thinks Senate Members
The matter of William Jennings Bryan delivering the commencement address at the University this spring was the subject of a heated argument yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the University Senate. A resolution was presented by Prof. A. T. Walker, a professor of English action in inviting Mr. Bryan. It was seconded by Dean P. F. Walker. The resolution was laid on the table.
RRVAN ASKED RV COMMITTEE
Spirited argument took place on both sides of the question when the resolution was presented. It asked that the Senat go on record as opposed to bringing the former secretary of state here in view of the present national situation, because of Mr. Matthias Koehler and that in view of the present crisis the University should retract its invitation.
Mr. Bryan was invited here by the committee on University lectures and convocations, which is composed of F. R. Hamilton, chairman, W. W. Davis, B. F. Moore, Charles S. Skilton, and L. N. Flint. The choosing of University lecturers is left to this committee, as also the commencement speaker. Chancellor Strong is also consulted in this matter.
Chancellor Strong was in Topeka today and his attitude on the matter has not been expressed.
MEN OF MANY CREEKS...
OF MANY CREEDS HAVE TALKED Since the resolution did not come to a personal vote, just how the members of the organization lined up on the proposition could not be learned, and accepted the Senate and accepted the Senate could do nothing more than protest against the action.
It was stated by a University authority that the institution is in no way sanctioning the views of Mr. Harris, the address to the seniors. It was pointed out that men of creeds, faiths and doctrines with which the University does not agree have been here for lectures and that it was not con-fused into an act sanctioning their beliefs when they were asked to talk here.
