TWO-THIRDS RULE NOT TO APPLY TO SENIORS
1915 Class Excused From Requirements by Vote of College Faculty
ACTION RESULT OF MISTAKE
Errorenous Statements Given Out
Last Fall Make it Unfair to Hold
to Rule, Faculty Decides
"A student in order to be accepted as a candidate for the degree must have received a grade of I or II in at least eight hours. Any student admitted to college as standing for the degree only in case such student has received on work done in residence the proportion of high grades provided in the foregoing regulation. Any student in residence the proportion of this regulation will be accepted as a candidate for the degree only in case such student has received on the work done subsequent to its adoption the proportion of high grades provided in the foregoing regulation—Section 52 from Rules of College Faculty suspended for senior class by College Faculty yesterday.
Seniors in the College will not have to have any required number of IEs and IIEs in order to graduate. Students in the College faculty v: yesterday afternoon.
Last spring the College faculty passed a rule requiring all candidates for degrees to present at least two-thirds of their work with a grade of I or II. For students then in school, provision was made more stringent, and applicants were required to work taken after the rule was made. That included this year's senior class.
But last fall, a statement was given to a reporter of the Kansan saying that the present class would be excused from the conditions.
Last week, attention was called to the fact that the rule included this year's seniors. It meant that they would have to have two-thirds of their work this year up to the standard. In view of the fact that a general misunderstanding had existed, the College faculty yesterday voted to excuse the 1915 class from the requirement.
JAYHAWKER PROOFS ARRIVE
Sixteen Full Pages of Campus Scenes Will be Big Feature
Proofs of Annual engravings are daily being received at the Jayhawk office, as most of the photos for the book, have already been taken in Kansas City where the cuts are being made. Samples of the ordinary Jayhawk page were also in the hands of the management. A light blue border with a design involving the Kansas Jayhawk is prominent feature of the page make-
Sixteen full page campus scenes, printed within a gold border in brown-green duo-tone ink on camec sepia paper will be the big feature of the campus section. In some cases the engravings were received at the business office this morning, and both Leon Harsh, editor and Blair Hackney, manager, expressed their opinion that the campus sections should be the most elaborate and the best looking ever printed in any Jayhawker.
The binding of this year's book will be in dark blue, and the cover design will be executed in the University colors.
Junior Engineer in Hospital L. J. Day, junior Engineer from Glen Elder, who has been out of school for some time because of sickness, has been taken to the hospital in Rosedale for an operation.
Brindel Back
Paul Brindel, who has been ill at his home in Kansas City, returned to school today.
The new baseball field south of McCook is at present nameless. To do away with an endless amount of circumlocation, and to honor William Oliver Hamilton, men in Kansas may Kansas suggests that the field henceforth be known as Hamilton Field.
RUSTIC PAIR DOESN'T WANT PICTURE TAKEN
But Annual Man Gets it Anyway
Jared Jackson, photographer for the Jayhawker, ambled down on Massachusetts street the other day with his camera, in quest of cases suitable for reproduction in the "date" section of the Annual.
of the Withn. With his camera ready, Jared went along, keeping his eagle eye out for devoted couples. It wasn't long be-fore they pair came along, the fair one clinging loyalty to the strong arm of her chosen escort and defender. Jared pointed his camera in their direction.
"Whatdayayameen?" the burly mem of the duet roared.
Jared, from force of habit, launched into exposition of the merits of this 1915 Jayne and others of his picture, attached to having one's picture appear therein.
"You're not goin' to put my picture in that gallery," the angry swain replied. But Jared, though not assigning him to membership in the Ananias Club, forthwith snapped the camera.
"I'm going to smash that plate," the victim shouted starting toward Jared. Fearing that the plate wouldn't be the only thing smashed, the Jayhawker photographer skillfully retreated behind an ice cream freezer in Wiedemann's and awaited further developments.
"There's nothing to this job," Jared admitted as the husky farm hand and his date wandered on down the street. But the plate was a dandy, Blain Hackney says.
MISSOURI DEBATE APRIL 23?
Kansas Squad Will Defend Present Monroe Doe绰 Policy

MISS CRANE NOT COMING
Convocation Cancelled Because of I inability of Speaker to Appear
Miss Caroline Bartlett Crane's inability to appear here March 30 has caused the convocation for that date to be cancelled. F R. Hamilton, of the extension division, is making an effort to obtain another speaker for that time but so far his efforts have been unfruitful.
John Kendrick Bangs, author of "Houseboat on the Styx" and other widely known books will be the next chapel speaker to appear here. He will talk on "Salubrities I Have Met," at 4:30 o'clock Mar 25.
The Mechanical Engineering Society will meet tomorrow night at 7 o'clock at the home of Prof. A. H. Sluss, 1122 Ohio street. Raymond C. Rockwell will read a report on mineral resources to the latest statistics and J. M. Hartman and John R. Pattinson will give magazine reports.

Captain James.
SAYS MODERN DRAMA IS BASED ON NIETSCHE
WANTS WOODEN TRASH BOXES
"We do not take anything for granted nowadays," said Professor Croissant "and the modern dramatist glorifies in the fact that he is usually with the minority Nietsche expressed the basic ideas of philosophy in the modern drama when he said 'The majority is always wrong.' There are always a few, and only a few men who are used by leaders and who are helped by the right of their superior ability, be at the front of the battle and should influence and govern the majority of weak ones who are born followers." This, according to Professor Croissant, is Nietsche's doctrine of the superman, and it is the idea that the modern dramatist works into his plays.
professor Goldsmith Thinks One Side Could be Bulletin Board
Football practice starts Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock whether or not the weather changes. The workouts will take place on the old field outside McCook until the inside field is in condition to stand the strain.
James H. Holden, junior Engineer has pledged Alpha Chi Sigma.
To the proposed improvement of placing trash receptacles around the campus Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith adds the suggestion that the receptacle be constructed of wood and one side so arranged that the side is open. "There is often some comment on the need of bulletin boards besides those used for chapel purposes," said Professor Goldsmith, "and this combination would not only provide a place to post notices would allow students to box have throwing the old bullets on the ground to further litter up the campus."
Prof. Croissant Thinks German Philosopher Inspired Ibsen and Shaw

WESTINGHOUSE MAN
TALKS TO ENGINEERS
"Modern drama had its thought foundation with the philosophy of Nietsche, the German philosopher who is blamed by many for the present European war," said Prof. DeWitt C. Croissant of the department of English at a meeting of the Quill Club last night. "The philosophy of Ibsen, Shaw, Strindberg, Galsworthy and many of the other great modern dramatists is only adaptations of the philosophy of Nietsche."
philosophist.
Professor Croissant thinks Bernard Shaw the most delightful and the cleverest of the modern dramatists and he admires Shaw for his independence and his absolute disregard of convention. Pinker here in every sense of the word, and does not delve as deep into the modern problems of sociological truth as some of the other dramatists.
Mr. Dooley is holding conferences today with engineering students wishing to take up work with his company and is offering suggestions along other lines of work open to engineers.
According to Professor Goldsmith's plan several of these wooden trash boxes would be arranged in suitable places over the campus and a few tint receptacles placed in the main hallways of the University buildings.
UNIVERSITY MAY ENTER PENN RELAY CARNIVAI
Four-Mile and Two-Mile Runners to be Entered if Showing Warrants
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics today announced that Kansas four-mile and two-mile teams would be sent to Philadelphia for the Penn relay carnival April 24, if practice performances warranted the belief that they would make a credible showing in the keen competition.
In addition to the relay teams, if any individual men show the proper amount of class, they will be entered. Dan Hazen retires this contest last year and will be sent again if he will get into the condition and display his 1914 form. Should either of the two pattush putters reach the top of the mark would be sent Raber is said to have heaved the weight 44-2 on one occasion last year.
In case men are entered in both reclays at the Penn meet, it is probable that about six athletes will make the trip. Rodkey and Edwards can repeat but it is unlikely that any of the other athletes would be able to reel off the necessary fast time in two events.
events.
Penn games are the first of a series of great Eastern outdoor competitions and drawn from schools scattered from California to New England. Last year the feature event of the meet was the 4-mile relay which Oxford succeeded in capturing from the University of Pennsylvania in a grueling, final less than 10 minutes of Oxford the final runners. Jackson of Oxford and McCurdy of Pennsylvania at the finish. The University of Southern California captured the most points in the open competition last year.
The class of material at this meet is better than at many meets for no eligibility rules apply. Freshmen and graduate students, as well as transferees are allowed to compete. In addition, former college certificates and inclinations can compete in eventual events; for instance, the Talbot of Kansas City, ex-Penn. State and Cornell took points in the invitational events last April.
A larger number of entries than ever before are expected this year for relay racing has been popularized to such an extent in the East that several Eastern colleges have sent teams a long distance merely because their petition to Princeton in late event at Ann Arbor and later in the year Cornell and Harvard clashed at two distances. The University of Southern California has already signified its intention of sending the four runners who scored points for them in the 10th competition. In its 19th annualay also send more men and the mud meet between the state university and Southern California at Berkeley next Saturday will show the true strength of last year's cracks.
"Past failures should have no influence on one's deeds today," said Rev E. A. Edwards, rector of the Episcopal church, at morning prayers. The failure of the church should look always ahead to success in the future. It is one of the fundamental elements of our makeup that hope springs eternal in the human heart, humour, hope, love, life, and vigor are renewed again."
Attendance at morning prayers continued the record set last week and was unusually large, owing to that meeting arranged by the Melt meetings.

TO MAKE CHEAPER BREAD:
Prof. Bailey Experiments With Flou
to Reduce Cost of Living
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey has started an experiment with different kinds of flours where he hopes to find a way to make just as good bread with cheaper flour. The high price of wheat this year has caused the bakeries in the cities to either charge more for bread or cut down the size of the loaves. Professor Bailey hopes to find a flour that will be just as good and at the same time cheaper and do away with this.
If the present high price of wheat continues, which is about $1.50 a bushel, it will only seventy-cent cents a bushel, and new flour would mean quite a saving.
He is using corn flour to take the place of part of the wheat flour. The problem is to find the right proportions which will make just as good a flour as "your" is used at present time for pan cakes and some other articles.
REGISTRATIONS COMING IN
Prospects for Successful Child Welfare Institute are Good
Registrations for the Child Welfare Institute have already gone above seventy in number and are increasing each day. A letter received by Prof. William A. McKeever yesterday informed him that Yates Center would send its superintendent, a faculty teacher with two members of the Board of Education to be present for the three day session.
The number of delegates per town will average about five and Professor McKeever says the prospects are good for a very successful institute.
