SENATE ELECTS COMMITTEEMEN
Disciplinary Body Chosen a Meeting of Faculty Governing Board
The permanent disciplinary committee of the University Senate elected at the regular meeting Tuesday afternoon was given out this afternoon. The committee was elected in accordance with action taken by the Senate in December upon the recommendation that a permanent disciplinary commission be formed by the Senate. The members of the committee are: D. L. Patterson, W. L. Burdick, G. C. Shaad, A. T. Walker and Miss Eugenia Galloo.
The committee was chosen by ballot, each member of the faculty being permitted to nominate five members for the committee. Letters were sent to each member of the faculty before vacation asking them to name five men to handle the disciplinary matters of the University. The five men receiving the highest number of votes in the nominating ballot were placed on the ballot (the Senate celler Strong named). There ten names were submitted to the Senate on printed ballots at the meeting Tuesday.
The appointing of a permanent disciplinary committee of the Senate will remove the necessity of appointing a special committee to handle any disturbances that may arise. Such a disciplinary organization was found necessary this fall after the Senate had decided that a disciplinary committee could be dispensed with.
STUDENTS WILL NOT HEAR TAGORE
University Lacks Funds Neces sary to Procure Noted Hindoo Poet
Rabindranath Tagore, the greatest living Hindoo poet, will speak in Kansas City today. For $200 he would speak at the University tomorrow, but it is impossible to procure the necessary $200, said Prof. F. R. Hamilton, of the Extension Division, this morning. The committee which attends to obtaining speakers has no money and no method of raising any
Tagore is the only modern Hindoo poet whom the American reading public knows. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his study of his writings has become almost a craze. He has written almost every type of literature and everywhere has met with success. He is best known for his mystic poetry and has been called the interpeter of the mysticism to the Occidental mind.
Readers of Tagore have a tendency to deify him, but this tendency diminishes when they become acquainted with his life, and learn that he has a son studying agriculture in the University of Illinois.
PETTY THIEVES AT WORK
Gym Clothes Disappear Like Magic From Locker Rooms
The petty thieves are as busy as ever this year at K. U. and have succeeded in making away with several overcoats and hats as well as gym suits from the locker rooms at the gymnasium.
"It is the usual custom for some one to report the loss of their gym clothes or gym shoes," said Charles B. Harrison, assistant professor of Physical Education. "We have been working on some plan to prevent it but have been unable to figure out what should we care or how to prevent them from taking other things from the lockers." Mr. Harrison said he wished that the things could be replaced by the department, but that would be impossible because every one might grow careless in regard to locking lockers and the result would be a steady stream of students reporting the loss of gym clothes. He seems to think that the fact that they leave the gym without locking their lockers and some times forget to put their clothes in their lockers.
One reason that the gym suits are hard to recover is because they are either black or white in color with no means of recognizing them. Some of the students who are taking gym are marking their suits with ink. Others depend on tears and patches to be able to recover them, if stolen.
What About the Second Term?
The K. U. date rule and freshman discipline are naught in comparison with the rules prescribed for the students at Bethany College. The freshmen complain of someone always taking the joy out of life, and Rule No. 8 is pointed to as the best example. The rule reads:
"Spooning is absolutely prohibited for the freshmen during the first half of the year."
TO SAVE SHADE TREES
FIGHT CANKER WORM NOW
If you want to save your trees from an army of canker worms it is time to commence war on the insects right now. This is the advice of J. S. Hunter, professor of entomology and entomologist, to the people of Lawrence.
"The canker worm is the offspring of a wingless moth, which will crawl up the trees and lay its eggs the first warm days of January," said Professor Hunter, "so it is essential that some preventative should be taken at once. If these canker worms are already their deadwork this year as they grow over the health of the trees will be seriously immaired."
"The most practical way of fighting these worms," suggested Professor Hunter. "is to band the trees with tar paper. Under the paper should be a quantity of some sticky substance such as tanglefoot. If this is done the worms will soon be stamped out. When they are removed, tanglefoot is renewed at least three weeks as it soon dies and the worms crawl over the hard crust."
BY THE WAY-
Why? Because

Is it possible that sleeping cots are about to be installed in Spooner Library? No, there have been no appropriations set aside for any such articles of furniture but there is at least one upperclassman who would find them very convenient in the Education Seminar.
Sleepy Students Would Find Them Handy
SPOONER NEEDS COTS
It was one of those warm, spring-like days last week. Mr. Student strolled into the Seminar, selected a book, sat down beside an attractive co-ed and for a time divided his attention between the book and the maid. The time was the long drowsy hour just after lunch. Mr. Student stretched his long legs under the table and shifted himself to a more comfortable lower and lower until it rested upon the table. Book and maid were alike forgotten, when his tired mind revealed in the mysteries of dreamland.
At last Mr. Student woke up, looked sheepishly around at the new students, glanced questioningly at Miss Libarian, and hurried out. Then it was that the suggestion came in favor of sleeping cots.
The maiden left. One by one the other students left and only the Librarian remained to warn new comers to be quiet. With a gentle sh, sh, she pointed toward the sleeper and these new comers tip-toad around the room as quietly as though it were a freewell baby, whom they feared to waken.

A. A. L. S. MET IN CHICAGO
Professors Humble and Osborn Delegates from K. U.
"The meeting of the American Association of Law Schools at Chicago during the Christmas holidays was a great success," said Prof H. W. Humble of the School of Law this morning in speaking of his vacation.
The Association is composed of the leading law schools of the country. The chief topic of discussion was the elevation of the standards of law schools along lines similar to those pursued in medical schools in recent years.
The plan to require all law schools in the association to have at least three resident instructors devoting practically all of their time to teaching was approved. This is to take effect in the fall of 1919.
Among other teachers attending the meeting were, Professor E. D. Osborne of our own School of Law, and Professor Arthur L. Corbin of Yale a graduate of K. U. and the brother of Dr. Alberta Corbin.
Professor Humble, on request, taught to students of law at the School of the Law of Partnership, teaching of
Organization to Enforce Puree Language With Paddle
CLUB TABOOS CUSS-WORDS
The men who stay at 1005 Kentucky street have formed a pure-language club. The object of the club is to put on a conference of all obsessive languages whatsoever.
The edicts of the organization are enforced by means of a regulation paddle applied with the usual mascu-
sure, or at the place where it does the most good.
The most severe penalty is inflicted as a punishment for the use of vulgar words. A penalty of five strenuous licks from the paddle is the sentence for the use of any word that a man can use to use before his mother or sisters.
The next most heinous offense is the utterance of any irrelevant rhetorical expression which contains any word of Deity. Three hearty strokes from the corrector are prescribed for each such word. Words relating to his satanic majesty are equally reprehensible.
"Damm" and its feminine gender, "darr" and "danged," come within a third category and receive a penalty of two severe spats.
This organization is only representative of the many such that are in existence on the Hitt the purpose of which is to protect that the use of undesirable exptelives.

CIGAR-CUTTER LOOK-OUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO! Because You Carry Digest
The clerk opened the case and pulled out the box of his favorites. The customer stepping forward took one from the box, put the tip between his lips and then stuck it in the cigar clipper. Then he pushed him slowly turned and walked out.
"Give me any brand of cigar," said a tail, slender, rather sickly looking fellow as he threw out a nickle on the cigar case.
"Who is that fellow?" asked the eldest to his friend who was standing in front.
"His name is Rigs," responded the man, who had tuberculosis, or at least all the others.
"Here comes my regular cigar customer," said the clerk as he opened the case once more. "Good morning, and what kind will it be this morning?"
"A Little Favorite," I believe, "up to the case. Jackson as he stepped up to the case."
Mr. Jackson unlike the previous
customer did not wet the tip of the cigar but immediately stuck it in the mouth.
Some months later Mr. Jackson began to grow weak. He became pale and soon began to cough. After a careful examination the physicians announced he had tuberculosis. Just how Mr. Jackson had contracted the dreadful disease was a mystery. The physicians were extremely interested in the case and had made up their minds that they were going to find out just how he had picked up the gorms. Then he began to giveations the physicians decided that the cigar clipper must have had something to do in spreading the disease.
"It is true without any question," said one of the physicians "that the cigsal clapper, which is found in leather cases, is tougher than the solid, is an instrument through which such diseases are spread. A man can clip off the end of his cigars with his pocket knife or if nothing else he can slide them under the cipsers should be done away with."
