FOLKS ARE HERE FOR "SOME TIME"
But Cold and Snow May Cause Many Parents to Give Up visit
NUMEROUS THINGS ON TAP
K. U. Glad to Welcome Home
Folks—Table Is All
Not many fathers and mothers had shown up on the Hill today but the week is yet young. There are four days more. And many trains have yet to arrive. The "young blizzard" this morning added zest to the week. Climbing the slippery hill will be an extra joy to the folks from home.
Numerous entertainments are scheduled this week. The band will give its annual winter concert Thursday, March 27 at the hold almost every night. Charles Dillon, manager of the Capper farm publications will talk several times to journalists and others interested in his work. A make-up of his farm paper from Mr. Dillon. And Cecil Fanning's concert Tuesday night no doubt would be appreciated. Wednesday afternoon teasas and Nebraska debate in chapel.
These are some of the ideas the folks from home may pass judgment. K. U. is looking for the folks and the table is set. If they fail to come it is their own fault. The school has tried to get the folks here.
CECIL FANNING SINGS TOMORROW
Third Number of University Concert Course Features American Baritone
Cecil Fanning, American baritone will give a vocal recital Tuesday evening in Robinson Auditorium, as the third number of the University Conference on the best known American baritones, and has a voice of excellent quality. He is entirely a product of American training—since he has never studied abroad. He has however, given many lectures in Europe as well as America.
Mr. H. B. Turpin, his accompanist has won a great fame in his line. Mr Fanning refuses to sing to the accompaniment of any other pianist.

MISS CLARK GETS OUT
NEW BOOKLET OF POEMS
The recital Tuesday night will consist of a program of great variety Songs from favorite American composers, classic French Opera airs and lieder by the greatest German composers will make up the program.
A new edition of Esther M. Clark's booklet of poems, "The Call of Kansas and Other Verses," neatly bound in brown board covers, has appearance.
Two new poems, "I knew a Poet and "A Voice," have been added to the collection. "The Stars Above Mount Oread" and "The Land Beyond the Valley" are poems about our own Hill which have made a strong appeal to all readers who know Mount Oread and have a line in the former. "There are no stars like these that shine above Mount Oread," strikes a responsive note.
True sentiment and simplicity of expression characterize the collection. Other poems are: "My Travelled Road," "The Hand That Cling," "The Clover and the Sky," "Good Night," "Rosso o My Heart," "Beauty for Ashes," "Bendouen," "Little Boy That Used to Be," and "A Ballast of Good Company."
Some of these were written, the author says, for people with whom she has been associated in her work here at the University.
Miss Clark is enrolled as a special on the Hill.

K. U. TO GET NEW SHOPS—MAYBE
Fowler Shops Converted Into Cafeteria if New Building is Forthcoming
Steps will be taken immediately to secure for the University of Kansas machine shops such as the University should have. Prof. F. H. Sibley, of the university's building engineering, has been authorized by the Board of Administration to prepare plans for a frame building 150 feet long and 80 feet wide for submission to the state architect, who must apply plans for new University buildings.
Dean F. W. Blackmar of the Graduate School talked at Plymouth Center, the parish house of the Congregational Church, last night on "Kansas Prisons." He spoke of the change in prison attendance and treatment of prisoners from what they were twenty-five years ago, and also of the movement of establishing farm homes where prisoners may live and work under sanitary conditions.
The new shops, which will be located near the present Engineering Building, will contain rooms for machine, foundry patterns, and forge shops together with adequate computing and office rooms. The equipment in the buildings must be up-to-date available. Professor Sibley has visited the machine shops of such universities as Purdue, Pittsburgh, and Illinois and he intends to include in the plans for the K. U. shops the best features found there, including the computer equipment of the engineering faculty. Every possible effort will be made to build shops that will meet the needs of the University in every way.
Pi Gamma Sigma, honorary educational sorority, had a Christmas party in the Mission Study room in Myers on Thursday. In the restroom, intensive presents were exchanged and the verses accompanying them afforded fun for all present.
"There has been considerable talk of converting Fowler Shops, which is too small and inadequate, into a University Commons and Cafeteria," said Professor Sibley, "and in such an event we want to be prepared with plans and specifications to present to the State Legislature."

JAZZ-TIME MUSIC TO FEATURE PROM
Managers of Social Classique Announce Orchestra For Event
"BEST EVER" MONTGOMERY
Plans for Prom More Elaborate Than In Past Say Managers
For the first time since the opening of the Pompeian Room at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City, the orchestra under the leadership of Jack Riley which plays there will be taken away from the hotel to play for a concert. With its ten pieces, will come to Lawrence on January 5 for the Junior Prom. "This is the first time I've ever consented to take my whole orchestra away from the hotel," said Riley Saturday to Prom Manager Harry Montgomery. Riley's orchestra is famous for her "first time" acquaintance unaccompanied, which is particularly good for the modern dances.
the personnel of the orchestra is noteworthy. Riley, the leader, plays a clarinet—an unusual departure from the accepted mode—and he has had years of experience in conducting orchestras of varying size from a four piece dance orchestra to the symphony orchestras organized in Kansas City for special "pop" concerts. Two of his players were former members of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra. R. F. Hart-organizer, played with the northern organization for five years, and George Goll, who is a real artist with the bass viol, played with them for three years.
"Pewee" Bowers, the saxophone player, is one of the stars of Riley's organization He is an old student from the University of Illinois, and his own orchestra has played for the junior prom at that school for the last three years. Potty Clark, who tripped the light fantastic many a time to Bowers' music says that "Pewee" is unquestionably the best saxophone player in the whole band." He is the musician the prom will be the "Baltimore Rac" played by Bowers as he stands alone in the center of the ballroom floor.
Al Wilson, a brother of K. U's own "Swede" is the banjo player for the Riley organization; Hombri Gribble, an assistant drummer for Bill Martin, once a student at Syracuse University, plays the drums, bells, xylophone, whistles, noises, tom yomis, et certae. "He's a real moo," says Manager Montgomery.
John O'Neil, the trombone player,
is the originator of "jazz-time" music
on a trombone. His playing is remarkable.
L. Ferrero, the second
player and Billy Keith, the cello,
are both players of experience and
ability.

ARMENIAN RELIEF FUND
REACHES $320 MARJ
The work of soliciting the students and faculty for the Armenian relief has not been finished, but contribution has increased. Most of this money was pledged by faculty members; in fact, very little money has been turned in to the registrar by the committees appointed by class presidents to solicit the students.
"This money will soon be forwarded to the National Committee at New York," said Harry Morgan, a student member of the relief committee, this morning. "The plight of this unfortunate people is daily growing worse, and we will be glad to get this money on the way."
INCOME BILL IS UP TO STUDENTS
Success of Measure Depends or Work of K. U. Men and Women During Holidays
AGGIE SCHOOL HELPING
Student Council at Manhattan Signify Their Desire to Do All They Can to Get Law
What The Income Bill Means For The University:
A More Healthy Growth
Better and More Permanent Teaching Facilities.
Maintenance of University on a Permanent Basis.
Better Care of University Administration. New Buildings
New Buildings.
The success or failure of the Permanent Income Bill in the coming session of the legislature will be largely determined by the amount of work done by the University students when they go home for the Christmas holidays, according to Willard Glaso, president of the County Club Union
STUDENTS MUST SEE LEGISLATORS
"The County Club Union has done all it can to organize the counties of the state so that the members of the various county clubs could talk intently about these issues this morning, "but the bill will not get far in the legislature unless the students talk to the legislators 'back home' individually during the holidays. If the members of the legislature go to Topeka with the idea that they would want to to the legislature itself, and to the state schools, they will glibly pass it."
"But right now they have not been shown the many good points of the new bill. It is up to the students of K. U. as well as of the other schools to show the legislators the need for such a law."
K. S. A. C. TO HELP FIGHT
Many of the county clubs will send their members to place the essential features of the bill before the legislators, but the success of the bill will depend upon the work done by all of the students individually.
Willard Glacier will leave Tuesday for Manhattan to have a conference with the Men's Student Council of theAggie school. The Agriculture College has stated its desire to co-operate with other colleges to secure the passage of the bill, Mr.Glacier will stop in Topeka on his return trip to interview the Governor.
The new literature on the Permanent Income Bill will be given out the public. It will be intended for university is urged to read the pamphlets is urged and then to show the representatives in their counties that the schools want the Permanent Income Law.

On the corner of Tenth and Tennessee, a root of a tree protrudes in such a manner that its shadow from the top falls directly on perfect silhouette of a man's head.
Some who have seen this outline suggest immediately that it is a fairly accurate representation of Lincoln. The eyebrows emphasized by shaggy eyebrows that conical deep-set eyes. A straight, prominent nose and a protruding chin with a Van Dyke beard detracts from the attracting feature is an open mouth.

FORMER STUDENT IN WAR
Eliot Porter c'11, Is In Ambubulance Corps of French Army
Army
"Somewhere" along the western battle front of Europe, a former K. U. man sits watchfully behind the wheel of a Red Cross ambulance alert to the call for help among the wounded. His mission is confined to the aid of the fortunate who have fallen in battle.
Eliot Porter, c'11, who is referred to in the foregoing paragraph, arrived in Paris, November 1, and from that point he expected to proceed to the front as a chauffeur in the American Ambulance Corps.
Porter, besides being a K. U. man, is also a graduate of the Princeton theological seminary, and prior to his departure from this country he conducted a parish at Harlowton, Montana, where he met a student to see more of the world, and his hands in the cause of the allies caused him to enter the Red Cross work.
Porter in a letter to his father, Justice Silas Porter, gave an interesting account of his voyage across the ocean to the boat, "Lancastrian," which carried a shipment of mules to the allies. The crew of the boat, composed mainly of cunpchunners and the rough element of camphor front, became good friends of Porter. Boxing had been displayed in several friendly bouts held on board ship.
