INCOME BILL MAY BE IN NEW FORM
NUMBER 73
A Chance for It Being Incorporated In New Constitution
PLANS ARE PROGRESSING
K. U. Organizations Have Been Fighting Hard for Coveted Bill
The constitutional convention proposed by the good government movement of Kansas if held this year may alter the plans made by the advocates of the permanent income bill which was to be introduced in the present legislature this month. If the convention is held and a new constitution drafted and adopted by the voters of Kansas, then the income bill will be amended so that it as well as it will be drafted into the new constitution along with several other amendments. That is if there is enough sentiment in favor of the bill.
Governor Capper is chairman of the Better Government League. The league will at once start a canvass of members of the University Prof. F. H. Blackmar, of the University of Kansas; H. J. Allen, Wichita; Senator Ben S. Paulen, Fredonia; Senator Robert Barr, Fort Scott; U. S. Sartin, Kansas City, Kan.; and Tucker, Tucker, Irene, are some of the leading men interested in the league.
COUNTY CLUB WORK FRUITFUL
It is expected that the large amount of work done by the County Club Union, county clubs, and other organizations on the Hill this fall will mean much in the success of placing the information system if one is adopted. Willard Glasser, president of the County Club Union, said this morning that he considered (Continued on page 3)

Basil Gauntlet, Pianist, Will Appear in Free Recital
In keeping with its custom to give the students of the University as much music as possible during the year, the School of Fine Arts will present Mr. Basil Gauntlet in a piano recital, at 10:30am on Friday afternoon, at 4:30, January 15.
There will be no admission fee charged for this recital, and both students and townpeople are invited to attend.

With the installation of new equipment the School of Engineering will become one of the most completely equipped in the Middle West.
A Dublin' Rotarex for analysis pavement mixtures, a penetrometer for measuring the consistency of penetration of asphalt, a viscosimeter used in determining the viscosity of water and point determinants and other minor pieces are apparatus that will be installed for use next semester. Room III in the basement of the engineering building, now used for a magazine store room, will be taken as a roads and pavements laboratory. Pref. C. Williams of the department civil engineering has charge of this work.
CAIMAIGN FOR THRIFT TO

The department of Greek is consider-
ing bringing Stupton Holborn,
who will give February 9 on "The Need for
Art in Life" to the University for
another lecture soon. Prof. J. G.
Brandt heard his lecture, "Helenic
Pioneers of Our Civilization," in Kansas City on January 6 and considered it so fine that Mr. Holborn may be asked to give this lecture at the University.
TREES NEED NEW BANDS
TO CATCH CANKER MOTH
Home owners in Lawrence apparently are not heeding the advice given by S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, to put bands around their trees at once to prevent damage by the canker worm.
"This work must be done immediately if the trees are to be saved," said Professor Hunter this morning. "I found sixty-seven of these worms on one band, all of which have come from the tree where they were work is done right away, spraying is the only thing that will save the trees and that is always unsatisfactory."
MERCHANTS COME FOR SENIOR YEAR
Short Course Students Are Repeaters—Better Course This Year
"Advance registrations for the Merchants' Short Course, February 5-9, are coming in rapidly," said F. R. Hamilton, director of the University Extension Division. "Less than a half of the mass passes through were sent to us and we already have registrations from Topeka, Downs Hiawatha, Cherryvale, Aliceville, Kansas City, Kas, Emporia, Jewell City, Dillon, Lawrence, and Salina. Considerably more interest is being shown this year than was shown last season. We need request for information about the course has come from Canadian, Tex.
"This is the fourth annual Short Course, and some of the merchants will be seniors. One woman from Kansas City, Kas., who will be a senior this year, writes that she is coming back and will bring another woman with her. We hope the merchant will keep coming each year and obtain their doctor's degree," and he laughed. "The course is getting better each year and we hope to go on developing and improving it."
Kansas is one of the first universities to conduct a Merchants' Short Course. Minnesota and Kansas announced courses the same year. Minnesota held its course in February, while Kansas held its chant's classes until May of the same year. Since that time other universities--among them Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Tennessee, and Iowa--have conducted Merchants' Short Courses, and Nebraska and Texas are now working out plans for such courses. In recent years, the short course here have been received from both of these universities.

URGES EXPERT TRIMMING
Trees Need Scientific Care, Says Professor Stevens
A asteroptic lecture on the Trees of Lawrence was given by Professor Stevens, of the department of Botany, and Professor Layne, of the Lawrence is known as a city of churches, schools and trees," said Professor Stevens, "but much of the city's natural beauty is being lost from grass and unscientific tree trimming."
By far the largest number of trees in this city are elms and soft maples. Every other one of these should be cut down and replaced by hardwood or sycamores, because of their beauty and virility, according to Mr. Stevens.
Sherwin (Sargent) Kelly, a student in the department of geology, will help towers of the Geology I classes of Doctor Moore and Haynes until they return.
Prof. Mark Skidmore has returned to school after being called from Chicago to Springfield, Mo., by the illness of his daughter, who was taken sick with pneumonia during the holidays.
Professor Stevens concluded his lecture with a plan for supervision of the trees of Lawrence by an expert employed by the city. This plan is used in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a city not noted for its beautiful trees. "The upkeep of trees should be maintained from the taxes in the same way that pavements, lights and sewers are," he added.
Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, head of the mining department, Dr. Raymond C. Moore, of the department of geology and also state geologist, and Dr. Winthrop P. Haynes, of the department of geology, left yesterday for Columbus, Kas, where a new zinc field is reported.

Ceremony Simple in Keeping With Democracy of Kansas
K. U. SENDS MANY VISITORS
First Regimental Band Takes Part in Festival-
ties
That Kansas spirit of simplicity without gold braid was the most evident feature of the inauguration of Governor Capper yesterday in the representative hall in the state capital.
There wasn't a silk hat and only two frock coats were seen in Topela. few army officers held on braid on their head and the cuckoo suit suits on conservative neckties outhone these.
POPE CHRISTIE blew at noon, hundreds of persons crowded into Representative Hall. The band gave a short concert and then the governor and his body-guard entered. The people in the hall cheered him. That was about as much as any one could believe, a governor was being inaugurated.
Governor Capper, the first native born governor starting on his second term of office wasted no time in getting down to the thing wanted by the people. He told them just what the needs of the state were and promised
Every right hand held up while the officers were taking the oath showed callouses caused by hard work. Brown and freckled, these hands rested the statis to whom it was趾rusting the cares of its executive work.

Women Practice at Meal Times in Busy Gym
Cutting lunch and dinner in order to practice basketball is the spirit with which the junior and senior women are going out for the Kansas originated game. Men of the university have the gym at the best when men goal tossers have to take what is left; such as lunch and dinner hours.
There are more than 100 women out for basketball and every period at the gym is in use. The instructors are giving up their boarding clubs, eating lunch between practices in the gym to give the players the desired instruction in hitting the hoop and handling the ball.
The inter-class basketball tournament for women will begin Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock when the juniors and seniors will mix. Following this game the freshmen and sophomores will fight it out; winners in these two games will play for the championship and a handsome loving cup offered by the athletic association through Coach Hamilton. There will be no admission for the game Saturday.
Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler, of Chicago, said to be the greatest pianist in the world, will appear in Lawrence Thursday, January 25, on the fourth number of the University Concert Course.
ZEISLER HERE JANUARY 25
Miss Rose Morgan, instructor in English, was absent from classes today because of the serious illness of her brother. Between them took Miss Morgan's classes.
The prize play was instituted last year by the Dramatic Club when it offered fifty dollars for the best college play written by a student. The prize play last year "Coping the Battle" was written by Atton Gumbinbler.
"Some of the best talent of the school is working on the Prize play which will be given by the Senior class, and an exceptionally good play is expected," said Prof Arthur MacMurray this morning.
Mrs. Zeiler was born at Biltzell, Austria Silesia but was reared in America, with the exception of the time she spent in Vienna studying under Leibniz. She has played in musical since 1883 in the principal cities of the world.
Mrs. Zeisler is a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and will be entertained by the Kansas chapter while in Lawrence.

Dr. Sundwall Warns Students Against Delay—Watch One Case
Many of the 3314 Came in Contact With Disease Christmas
A NUMBER WERE EXPOSED
Only twelve students have been vaccinated. Dr. Sundwall's advice to all students who want to be sure they will not have to drop out of school on or after the expiration date, will necessarily have to be enforced as seen as a case breaks out, is to take advantage of the vaccination days at the hospital and be vaccinated in the
One woman student in the University has been suspected of having smallpox. This case is being cared for in isolation and the danger of contagion from it among the University students is lessened since there were no other students rooming in the same house.
Undoubtedly there will be a few cases of smallipox developed among the students within the next two weeks. This is the belief of Dr. John Sundwall and Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine.
CASES TO DEVELOP
"There is no question but what the students are exposed," said Dr. Sundwall. "There are at present 250 cases of chicken poop and smallpox throughout the state. The majority of student went to their homes during the holidays and no doubt a great many of them were exposed at that time."
Unfortunately the quarantine laws regarding smallpox have not been very strict enforced over the state since 1983. Because disease has been pretty well scattered.
The smallpox scare became so great at Emporia just before the holidays that every student was required to be vaccinated before returning to school. The student at Manhattan is also raging among the student body at the present time.
LAWS NOT ENFORCED
Members to Discuss Peace League Proposals
William Howard Taft, ex-president of the United States spoke on this subject before the students last month. His speech, by having stimuli of different colors and doubtless add greatly to the interest in the meeting tomorrow night.
The discussion will be led by Ted Richter and F. C. Steuke. An open meeting will follow in which those present may take part.
How can a world peace be enforced when the great war is ended? How can the nations of the world be brought to respect and comply with international law? What guarantee can we have against the recurrences of a worldwide catastrophe? These are some of the questions which will be discussed by the International Polity Club in Discourse of "Proposals for a League to Enforce Peace" at the Phi Kappa house 'tomorrow night.
Advocates of such a league were laughed to scorn a few years ago; today they are being praised by some of the leading statesmen of the world. Once the public scowled; now it pauses to consider; may it not some day in the future put these proposals into execution?
"It is highly probable," said Secretary Hugo Wedell, "that the classes will be held on Thursday nights between 7 and 8 o'clock together with present classes in the School of Religion."
A promotion force of fifty upperclassmen is being organized by the Y. M. C. A. to start a campaign among students after the beginning of next semester for the study of bible mission subjects.
Classes will be taught by Dr. Arthur Braden, Reverend Gordon Thompson, Dr. Stanton Olinger, and Dr. R. A. Schwegler.

PLAN VOCATIONAL STUDENT ADVISER
Senate Considers Plan for Industrial and Commercial Expert
TO KNOW NEEDS OF STATE
Faculty Guide Would Assist Undergrads In Choosing Future Occupation
INTRODUCED BY DEAN TEMPLIN
This proposal was first introduced by Dean Olin Templin, of the College, at a cabinet meeting last month, and placed before the Senate last week.
Addition of a "vocational guide" to the University faculty is being considered by the Senate. Such a vocational adviser would keep his fingers on the industrial and commercial pulse of the state and inform students in what vocations are the greatest possibilities, and also advise them as to what courses to take to prepare for that work.
Dr. Frank Strong said this morning no specific plans had been suggested, and that the duties of such a committee would be to the Chancellor will appoint a committee that will thrush out these questions and present to the next meeting of the Senate ideas as to the feasibility and methods of making it effective.
FACULTY SEE NEED OF ADVISER
The need of such a guide is apparent to the faculty men who have served as advisers to undergraduates, said a faculty member this morning. Many students have no definite idea of what they expect to do after finishing school. Consequently, they do not know what courses to take. The presence on the faculty of some man with knowledge in art, architecture and commercial conditions and needs of the state, and the preparation necessary for any man or woman wishing to fill the positions open in the various industries, would simplify greatly the task of course selection, both for students and advisers.
However, the employment of such a guide would necessitate a change in the constitution of the University. Should the Senate at its next meeting devolve some definite plan for such department, the plan will be submitted to the Board of Administration in February.
BOUQUETS COME OUR WAY
Utah Chronicle Praises Department of Journalism
In a recent issue of the Utah Chronicle the journalism course at the University of Kansas is highly praised. The way in which the financier involved in the department and of the Daily Kansan are handled is especially praised.
The need of such a course in Utah has been discussed at length by the chronicle. The discussion has brought some attention to some talk of establishing a course here. In looking over the schools of journalism of the United States the authorities were especially well pleased with the department at Kan-
The cost system which is employed in the conduct of the Daily Kansan appeals to the Utah paper as being the correct method of handling the business side of the paper. Kansas is praised for establishing a printing department with three typetypes, a machine composing room, bindery boxer, and a battery of jobbers and other equipment necessary for the maintenance of a first class printing plant and up-to-date newsmaner.
"The journalism course at the University of Kansas is considered one of the most efficient courses of journalism in America," says the Utah Chronicle, editorially.
