All University Pageant Will be One of the Features Included in Program
MEDICAL SCHOOL COMING
Students From Rosedale Will be Included in Annual Affair for First Time
It's for everybody, this third annual All-University Colonial party to be held in Robinson Gymnasium, February 24. Students and faculty are invited and no charge is made. For it is the All-University party. It is a student party given for the faculty.
Entirely new features will be introduced this year in this annual party. A pageant depicting early colonial history and pre-colonial times will be the program of the first part of the evening with dancing starting at nine-thirty, then two hours from seven-forty-five until eight-thirty a reception will be held, after which the pageant will have the stage.
125 STUDENTS IN PAGEANT
The pageant will consist of three parts and the grand finale. The first episode will show a day in an Indian camp. The second episode will show the Poonchuntas supported by colonists and Indians. George and Martha Washington are the characters of the third episode. Every character and the full K. U. Band will take part in the grand finale. All University students in costume will have part in this final scene.
Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, is the originator of the All-University parties, the first one of which was held three years ago. All school organizations and classes of the University have parts in the pageant. The Medical students Roseaud will be needed to take a role in the pageant this year. Two of these parties are held each year, the first one celebrating Halloween and the spring party coming as near Washington's birthday as possible.
COSTUMES FROM HAYS NORMAL Only through the generosity of the Fort Hays Normal School is the colonial feature of the party. For they love to be heard by the costumes. The project allowed by the state for this party is small and this borrowing of costumes is absolutely necessary.
The committees are working on the details of the party, but all the main plans have been worked out. These meetings will be announced for morrow.
REVEREND BROWN DECIDES
Will Leave Lawrence to Edit Eastern Religious Magazine
The Rev. O, C. Brown, pastor of the First Baptist Church, has decided definitely to leave Lawrence to take up the work of associate editor with the Baptist Publication Society of Philadelphia. According to a statement made made in the last of April and will take up his work there the first of May. W. E. Raffety, editor-in-chief of the Baptist Publications, has made two trips to Lawrence to see Mr. Brown about taking up the work, and in his last visit to Lawrence January down consented to take up the work.
The work of the society is being reorganized as so best to meet the needs of both the country and the city schools. Mr. Brown will aid in this reorganization. The Baptist publications reach over two million people in the United States and Canada.
Nothing definite has been done as yet in regard to securing a man to take charge of the work in Lawrence, but it is probable that steps will be taken at once to secure a successor to Mr. Brown.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 15, 1917
GEOLOGIST TELLS OF
OPPORTUNITIES IN BRAZIL
"Brazil holds many great opportunities for young men of tact and enterprise," said Prof. Winthrop P Haynes, yesterday in an address before the Geology club. "Pleasant opportunities also allow only promoters to bring into action the great possibilities of that country. With abundant waterpower the field of manufacturing is open to great developments. Common every day necessities of civilization are imported at much higher prices. United States products could compete with other foreign goods in the Brazilian markets."
Professor Haynes, several years ago was a member of an expedition for making a geological survey of Brazil, and on that trip gathered the material from which he gave his lecture yesterday.
VAN NOPPEN LECTURES FOR HOLLAND'S QUEEN
s Popularizing Vondel, the Dutch "Shakespeare," in This Country
The Queen Wilhelmina official lecturer of Dutch language and literature at Columbia University, Prof. Leonard C. Van Noppen will speak in Fraser Hall tomorrow afternoon on the Dutch Renaissance. Professor Van Noppen was appointed by the Dutch government as lecturer in 1913, and since then has been devoting his time to encouraging the interest of Dutch students in Dutch literature, art and institutions and their relation to American life.
Professor Van Noppen is of Dutch extraction. He left Holland with his parents, when he was only six years old. Later he completed his education at one of the New England colleges. He has travelled much in Holland, so is thoroughly acquainted with his subject.
In his lecture, special attention will be devoted to Vondel, Holland's greatest poet, often called the Dutch Shakespere, who was a contemporary of Milton. In fact it was from Vondels drama, "Lucifer," that Milton received his inspiration for "Paradise Lost."
Professor Van Noppe is himself a poet of great merit. His sonnets and lyrics and noteworthy, and he is now writing, a drama "Sampson" which displays great imagination and a keen analysis of human emotions.
Professor Van Noppen is brought here under the auspices of the German department and will be accompanied by his wife. They will be the guests of Professor Appelhoeuf. Five students from University of Notre Dame University by Professor Van Noppen during the past week, while last week he gave three in Notre Dame University and five in Chicago University. As a result of his lectures in Notre Dame University, he has been included in the curriculum. Professor Van Noppen goes to Leland Stanford University from here, where he will lecture Monday.

Some Queen was "simply Tickled to Death" to see her friend, was "just Dying" to see whether she got a One or a Two in "Depeclation of Music," and was "Dead on her feet" from waiting so long.

NO NEED FOR ALARM IN SMALL-POX CASE
University Health Officers Have Taken Precautionary Measures Against Epidemic
VACCINATIONS ARE FREE
Send Whole Classes Who Have Been Exposed to Hospital for Treatment
"There is no need for alarm in regard to the present smallpox scare," said one of the University health officers today. "The only existing case discovered Monday, is a light one and every precautionary measure possible has been taken to prevent the spread of the disease. The first patient lived has been thoroughly fumigated and vaccinations have been given to all men who were near Knoles after he first showed symptoms.
Knoles' condition is practically the same as it was yesterday. He is isolated on the third floor of the hospital where no one is allowed to enter. No fear need be displayed by students. There will be no epidemic. John C. Rudolph, county health officer, although powerless to do anything claims the University authorities are unfair to him in their treatment of the case. The doctor has a small pocket patient in the general hospital used by students who have sore throat and other common prevalent diseases.
During a class in physiology yesterday afternoon a paper was handed in by a student who roamed with Knoles. The paper was refused when the teacher's investigation showed that few in the class had been vaccinated for smallpox. Doctor Hyde dismissed the class and sent the members to the hospital to be vaccinated. No papers were distributed from other members of the class.
The measles case is isolated at the University Isolation hospital. Francis Furah, c20, of Mead, Kansas, was hospitalized with the measles. The origin of this case is unknown but it is probable that the disease was contracted while Furah was at home back in Hickory at 1201 Orend has been fumigated.
REVISE FOOD STANDARDS
Dean Sayre Proposes New Tests for Spices—Work Done in University Laboratory
The Standards Committee of the Board of Health will hold a meeting next Monday in the Capitol building at Topeka, prior to the meeting of the Board of Education. The School of Pharmacy, and E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry, are members of the committee. They were called to Topeka last week to attend a meeting of standards from the United States Bureau of Committees from Washington.
Dean Sayre will present to the Committee of Standards his proposed revision for standards of spices. The proposed revisions on spices will consist mainly of a prescribed limit of ingredients and such changes as are necessary in order to make spices conform to the standards adopted by the latest revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia. These proposed revisions are based upon experimental work in the Drug Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Center, where he meets immediately after the meeting of the Standards Committee.
The annual spring party of the Y. M. and Y. W., which will take place Saturday night in the Gymnasium immediately after the game, will be one of the big opportunities of the school year for students to get together. Its scope will be broad enough to include those who are members of organizations and those who are not—those who go out three hours a day and those who have been grinding steadily for five months.
The stunts promise to be novel; one of the most clever has to do with a new interpretation of old songs. The committee on nourishment promises that the nominal charges do not do justice to the nature of the menu.

ENGINEERING COMPANY
AWAITS U. S APPROVAI
New Organization for K. U Must be Approved by State and War Departments
STUDENTS DISCUSS PLAN
Mass Meeting of Engineers in Marvin Hall Today—Ask Enlistments Later
Arrangements for the establishment of an engineering company at the University of Kansas as a part of the Kansas National Guard are being made by Captain F. E. Jones of the Kansas National Guard worked out for the reorganization of Company M into an engineering company and the permission of the War department at Washington asked for the change. Captain Jones presented the question to Adjuntant-General C. I. Martin in the Kansas City office, where he will turn will take it up with the state and war departments.
- The need of the engineering company in Kansas as a part of the national guards is expected to influence the question. Answer the question. The chance of experienced engineers and teachers of engineering as officers of the company will also have an important establishment of the company at K. U.
This company will be the first engineering organization of a similar nature in Kansas. It will be a part of the national guards and will doubtless work with engineering companies of the seaguar army at Fort Lester Avenue, Fort Riley. The permission of the War Department is expected within a few days and the final decision will rest with the state department. A meeting of the students of the Engineering school is being held in Marvin Hall this afternoon to discuss the proposal for the company. The whole proposition will be presented to the students at this time but no enlistments will be sought. Only those members of Company M in school now will be transferred to the new company while the members in other cities or states may be sent from the reserve, depending upon later instructions from the state officials.
The equipment of the engineering company will be far different than the equipment of National Guard infantry. Pack mules and wagons will be a necessary part of the equipment. Several cavalry horses will also be needed as eighteen men of the company will be mounted.

WOMEN'S CONVOCATION TOMORROW AT 10:10
Mrs. Eustace Brown Will Talk on Problems of Vital Importance to Women
All college class periods will be shortened tomorrow to give Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, an opportunity to answer the question, "What kind of a question is at 10:10." The subject on which Mrs. Brown is going to speak is not a question but rather solutions to the problems which confront the women in college. The students will be dealt with in a straightforward and confidential manner.
Mrs. Brown feels that by having the opportunity to talk to the women of the University in her official capacity at least once a semester the efficiency of her position will be increased and accordingly will become more valuable to the women of the University.
"This convocation is important, as it will establish a precedent for women's convocations," said Mrs. Brown this morning. "The first convocation this is the first convocation hour we have had devoted exclusively to women and we hope to make good use of it by discussing topics such as are of vital importance to women."
Invitations have been issued to all sororities and girls' organizations urging them to attend the women's convocation. Mona Clare Hoffman, president of the W. S. G. A., will make a brief speech concerning the attitude of the student government association towards women's activities
LIFE'S DARKEST MOMENT FOR THE NLOPHYTES "Hell Week" For the Frats.
If, in the course of human events, you chance to see several big, fat, fierce-looking goats gamboling over the campus or down the streets, don't lose your head and think the University has added sheep-raising to the curriculum. Or if you see some bright blue cars, don't let them with his head on the car tracks holding back the cars, don't think he is trying to commit suicide. It is merely a freshman holding the fort until an august body of upper-classmen have time to finish their breakfasts and board the car. As for the goats. They belong to the universities and colleges training themselves for the awful butting they have in store for the unfortunate neophytes.
For this is "Hell Week," for the frats and George Fitch in his palmest days never conceived of all the wild modes of torture devised for freshmen. Even the versatile Petey Simmons was never subject to all the ki-yi's the K. U. Greek yearlings undergo.
One organization has ruled that whomsoever of the freshmen shall hear a whistle, he also shall climb a tree and stay there until another whistle hits his release. One 200-point pledge has been eating his desert sitting in the middle of the pavement.
Another pastime is the sending of timid boys out to the ghost haunted grave-yard to find a certain shaft or to count the monuments, at the stroke of midnight. A little less cruel is the story of a girl who leaves the river to get a sample of ice to ascertain whether or not it is thick enough to skate on.
Economy is the watchword throughout. Freshmen wait tables, clean house, wash windows. Some who do not have a job are required to and habitual users are forbidden the week. Every upperclassman is mistered and sired, petted and fitted upon with a courtesey and compulsory suit puts the proverbial 'Awkins to shame.'

Corruption runs riot. One flagrant example of this was shown when the heaviest swinging upperclassman to leave town during initiation.
Recommends $1,588,710 for Maintenance of Five State Schools
FINE ARTS PLEA IGNORED
Board Asks 16 Per Cent Appropriation Increase—Gets $2\frac{1}{2}$ Per Cent
BULLETIN: The Ways and Means Committee of the Senate voted at noon today to recommend an additional $75,000 to the building fund of the University. This is to be added to the $150,000 already recommended by the Administration Building. The new allowance calls for a larger addition to this building and will house the School of Fine Arts for the present.
The senate ways and means committee announced their recommendations for appropriations for the five schools, a total night. $18,588,710 was the amount given for the maintenance of the five schools, an increase of $46,300 annually over that which has been applied to these schools for the last two years.
The building allowances are $150-
000 for K. U. $200,000 for the Pittsburg Normal, and $50,000 for the Agricultural College. This is $95,000 less than the last legislature allowed.
ASK FOR FINE ARTS BUILDING
Strong pressure has been exerted within the last few days to increase the appropriations, not only for maintenance, but also for $100,000 to build a fine arts building for the University. The board of educational boards has insisted that this building is badly needed. In his repart to the board, Chancey or Praek Strong showed the need of twelve new buildings, due to the fact that for seven years not a single new building has been erected on Mount Oread.
APPROVE SMALL INCREASE
The board of administration asks for a more effective treatment of the state schools. They believe the increase in enrollment of 24 per cent while the plan of the the ways and means committee provides no new teachers. An increase of six per cent was recommended to cover an increased war cost of supplies and equipment. The board asked a total of 1,500 employees and the committee plans to give an increase of only 2½ per cent. The legislature of 1915 gave an increase of 12.4 per cent for maintenance, repairs, salaries and wages.

GREEKS REVEL AT SMOKER
Six Fraternities Entertain Crowd With Music, Burlesque and Comedy
Three hundred fifty Greeks attended the annual Pan-Hellenic smoker last night in Fraternal Aid Hall. Six fraternities for three hours furnished K, U. Greeks with original comedy sketches, impersonations of certain campus celebrities, and paroxysm at the Hammstein brand of opera.
Beta Theta Pi opened the evening's bill with the "World Famous Three In One," including impersonations of prominent American actors, an up to date Hula orchestra, and concluding their stunts with a realistic scene of a furious session of campus notables, engaged in "litigation."
Phi Gamma Delta followed with a take-off on the K. U. Pan-Hellenic Council, enlivened by some original sayings with variations. Sigma Al-Faiz College, in Riyadh stall and company in a versatile exhibition of the piano playing.
Following time taken out for intermission and lunch. Acacia gave "Pan Hell In Hell". Kappa Sigma in a "Kappa Sigma Romance" showed in a new way some of the fruits of the romance, but not included the varied program in giving "Twenty Minutes In Center Crick", a rural tragedy.
