COUNTY CLUBS WILL PETITION
Bill
Letters to be Sent to Legislators Urging Permanent Income
NUMBER 76
K. U. WANTS BUILDINGS
Dismissal of Classes in North College Show Necessity of New Program
"Every county club at the University of Kansas should call a meeting at once and send a letter to the representative of their county," said Willard Glasco, president of the University of Kansas. "In this letter, which should be formed after consulting with someone who is thoroughly familiar with the main features of the Permanent Income Bill, the legislator should be given the reason for such a bill. The letter should be presented by the president and several members of the club."
The need for the Income Bill was forcibly shown Wednesday when some classes were dismissed in North College. This building and several others have ooen condemned this year as unsafe. They would be replaced by new buildings if the school had a new program. All students have any buying program worthy of note, have an income law in force in their state.
ALUMNI TO MEET
Students and members of the alumni association will meet in Topeka January 20 to form plans for pushing the Income Bill. Some advocates of the bill believe that it will have nearly as good a chance of getting into a new constitution as it would of being made a law through amendment. It should be made a law by amending the constitution it must be one of the three amendments which can be passed at a session of the legislature.
C. C. Mack, of Harvey county, will present two amendments to the constitution today in the legislature, one of which asks for the amending of the constitution. The constitutional convention may be held. The other concerns removing from the constitution the prohibition against the state participating in good roads work. If the first amendment is passed, the constitutional convention will be held.
STUDENTS WARNED
TAGORE LOVES STUDENTS
Mr. Glasco wants all of the county clubs to be extremely careful in the wording of letters to their legislators. Stationery of the Union can be issued from the Kaiser office, from the office of the Union in Fraser Hall.
Hopes to Become Acquainter With K. U. in the Future
"Some time," he said, "I am coming again to Kansas, and then I shall have more time to become acquainted with the students. I hope it will be
"Students? Ah, I love students," said Ribandrath Tagore, with a smile in his great black eyes, "and the students in my own country, they love me! I always like to talk to students, and I am very sorry that I could not speak at the University in Lawrence."
The great poet, philosopher, and prophet of India paused for a moment while putting on his long wine-colored coat in the park. "Nationalism" last night in Kansas City.
Then, with a cordial handclasp, he went away, leaving the memory of a personality whose dominating characteristic is friendliness.
The whole message of his lecture was one of brotherhood. According to him, there is no truth in Kipling's "East is Easte, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." The fault of the West is not in its spirit but in its government, which has become a great machine that crushes out morality, individuality, humanity. The West has the right spirit and will come into its own at the end of the great war by the help of the East.

"ENJOY LIFE"—MR. NOYES
English Poet Looks Upon Life as Pleasure
Alfred Noyes, who lectures in Fraser Hall, Thursday, January 18, is regarded by many critics "the best English poet that has arisen since the death of Tennyson," as one New York critic but in the UK. He is edited by Edmund Gosse, Theodore Watts Denton, and Rudyard Kipling.
"Mr. Noyes' strong spirit is something of a marvel," continues the critic. "He thoroughly enjoys life and is more productive because of his healthy body and mind. In this age of morbid retrospection he never looks upon himself or curses his fate. He never whines or whimpers; his sadness is the sadness of a happy am. He religiously believes in being happy; and his wonderful youthfulness is a glorious challenge to those who are forever saying, 'Not all will be so sufferable.' At last we have found a poet to whom this world is not all tragedy and tears, but a bright and wonderful valley with pleasure and happiness all over it."
Mr. Noyes spends part of his time at his little home in Sussex. His favorite pastime is swimming but he is just as skilful with a pair of oars as he is with his arms. The literary impression of his room is somewhat alleviated by the presence of a couple of oars hung upon the wall, several photographs of college teams, and a number of athletic trophies.
Colds prevail in winter because people spend most of their time in overheated, unventilated rooms. Unsuitable clothing and senseless exposure to draught are frequently contributory causes.
DAILY HEALTH HINTS By the University Health Committee
Regulate your clothing according to the weather, no matter what the calendar says. Underwear should be light or medium weight, and loosely woven. Remember that when going outdoors, you step from summer temperature into winter cold; protect your body with additional clothing.
Do not sit in draughts: exposing one region of the body to cold disturbs the circulation, and sickness may result.
An abundant supply of fresh air, day and night, is the best lung tonic. Open the window at top and bottom; ventilate, do not stagnate.
Keep your head cool and your feet warm.
DORMITORIES AND CAFETERIA URGED
Beard of Administration Makes Its Biennial Report to Governor
WANTS AD WING BUILT
Points Out Need For More Class room and more Instruc
The second biennial report of the State Board of Administration comprising reports from every state school in Kansas is being distributed this week. The report, addressed to the Board, is for the period ending June 30, 1916.
tors
Fifteen institutions come under the supervision of the board. Besides the nine schools of instruction there are six experiment stations. Most of the important lines of activity carried on in Kansas, such as mining, farming, teaching, medicine and cooking are taught in the state schools of Kansas.
ADVISER OF MEN RECOMMENDED
The Board of Administration in a long detailed statement to the governor recommends cafeterias, dormitories, advisers of men, the finding of employment for graduates, more and better buildings and greater cooperation of the different schools engaged in the same kind of work.
It further mentions the work the state through its schools has accomplished in regard to the health of the students, physical education, uniform fees, democracy and religious activities.
More and more each year are the state schools aiding public improvements. Household arts are being taught to students in their homes and its place in the community is being taught the people of Kansas through the schools; more practical courses are being offered than at any previous time; city planning and architecture are given wide publicity by the news bulletins published by various schools.
The report admits that the University's needs are greater than any other of the schools. North College and Snow Hall, are both shown to be unfit for further use and direcern department are shown to be unfit. The completion of the central wing of the Administration building is urged.
SHOULD PAY HIGH SALARIES
SHOULD PAY HIGH SALARIES
The necessity for higher salaries,
and more teachers is also pointed out.
More staff are needed to body greatly in the last year and yet there has been no material increase in the teaching staff.
Although the University as an intellectual center occupies a great place in Kansas, its library is crowded for space and does not compare favorably with libraries of other state universities.
ANNUAL COVER UNUSUAL

DYKSTRA'S GOVERNMENT
CLASSES TO LEGISLATURE
DYKSTRA'S GOVERNMENT
The students in Prof. C. A. Dykstra's government classes will attend a meeting of the legislature for at least a part of one day and make reports in class of what they see there. The students will also trip a sort of laboratory exercise.
"It is perhaps the only opportunity some of the students will ever have to see a legislature in action," he said this morning, "We do not go in a body because I want them to get what we expect. It is possible—and then of course we shouldn't like to embarrass the legislature."
LAST REHEARSAL FOR LIGHT OPERA
Chorus, Principals and Orchestra Now Working Together
Final details and scenes of the "Chimes of Normandy," the Fine Arts opera to be given at the Bowersock theater Monday night, have been completed, and the last big dress rehearsal will be held at the Bowersock tomorrow morning. The directors: Mrs. Harold L. Butler, former Dramatic Director at Syracuse University, and Prof. W. B. Downing, professor of
voice in the School of Fine Arts, will then be given an opportunity of seeing how the production will look Monday night.
The work of all the principals is especially good as they have been practicing for more than a month. An orchestra of fourteen pieces has been organized and directed by Professor Downing, and the support from the orchestra pit will be the best. Professor Downing has also put a great deal of efficient work into the opera and has backed it up in every way.
WENDELL FOSTER
The "Chimes of Normandy" is a story of the seventeenth century and was written by Robert Planguette. Leads will be played by Wendell Foster, tenor, and Leta Ellison and Leah Stewart, soprano.
The production Monday night will be the first of this kind given here for several years, and meets the need of a first-class musical production by the University to develop local talent. If the support of the opera meets expectations, the School of Fine Arts will probably make it an annual event.
ENGLISH WRITER SPEAKS

MRS. COCHRANE FOUND IN KAW
Body Discovered This Morning in Flumes of Bowersock Mill
DEATH WAS BY DROWNING
Professor's Wife Disappeared Oct. 25—Burial Will Be In Denver
An autopsy this morning showed Mrs. Cochrane met death by drowning. She was reported to have left her home about eight o'clock at night and the watch she wore had stopped it 8:37. The body had been entirely under water since death, is the belief of Dr. H. T. Jones, county coroner.
The body of Mrs. Charles W. Cochrane, wife of Professor Cochrane of the School of Engineering, was found in the Kaw river this morning at nine o'clock. Workmen clearing debris from a turbine intake of the Bowersock Mill & Power Company found the body on the bottom of the flume and against the grating through which the water passes into the turbine chamber. Identification by firemen by firemen, a watchman by a brooch. Mrs. Cochrane disappeared from her home, 1336 Kentucky Street, the night of October 25.
ENDS A LONG SEARCH
It is believed Mrs. Cochrane entered the water near the boat landing at the foot of Ohio street the night of her disappearance. From there it is supposed the body was carried down stream, lodging against the interurban bridge. The removal of the piling along one span of the bridge this morning has to have released the body, allowing it to be carried into the flume.
The finding of the body ends a long search. Students of the School of Engineering, students of Haskell Institute and authorities authorized a systematic search of the county while the police followed clues leading out of the county. Authorities in Denver, where relatives of Mrs. Cochrane live, aided the search, believing she might have staged to live with relatives in Colorado.
BURIAL WILL BE IN DENVER
Mrs. Cochrane was in poor health at the time of her disappearance. In the afternoon the day she disappeared she had been collecting church funds. These were turned in to fellow workers. Mrs. Cochrane returned to her mum's dock and prepared supper for him to attend. Following this she disappeared.
Professor Cochrane will take the body to Denver tonight for burial, and Professor Reverend E. A. Edwards, a family friend, and Professor Cochrane.
