UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XII.
PROFS WILL ARRANGE FOR BEEFSTEAK EAT
Mitchell, Engel and Harrington Form Committee on Refreshments and Food
MORE ARE IN FAVOR OF IT
Idea Receives Favor From Faculty Men and Women in All Departments of University
Professors H. F. Harrington, U. G. Mitchell, and E. F. Engel have been appointed as a committee to arrange the details of a faculty beef which will probably be held soon. The committee will meet in Room 301 Fraser Hall Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Several other members of the faculty have expressed hearty approval of the two they can meet each other. Among the comments are these:
Mrs. Eustace Brown: "It would be an excellent thing. The ladies can get acquainted now through their chimpanzee parties, but the mixer would bring both the men and the women together socially."
together.
Prof. E. E. Kester: "The faculty mum is undoubtedly a good thing. The University Club serves as a mixing place for faculty members. Many people go on the assumption that we never meet each other except on the campus or in some formal, prearranged way. This is not so. However, the mixer should be encouraged."
"I'll Attend if One is Held."
Prof. M. E. Rice: "I really haven't thought a thing about the mixer. Doubly it would be a good thing and not know anything concerning it."
Get New Members Acquainted
Proof. E. F. Stimpson "A faculty mixer is always a good thing. The lives of faculty members and students are altogether different, and student mixers are not the same as faculty mixers. The faculty members are settled and many of them are married. The students are here to study and get a certain amount of social training and gain skill with each other. For this reason the mixers are not as necessary as the student mixers but I thoroughly approve of them, and I shall certainly attend if one is held."
Prof. D. W. Cornelius: "It's a good idea for everyone to get acquainted but time and lack of a suitable place sometimes makes this hard. I think we should have a system whereby all could get together, especially to assist the new faculty members to get acquainted."
Prof. H. F. Harrington.
Prof. Has too Small a Circle
"The university professor usually has a rather small circle in which he revolves, and such gatherings give him wider opportunity of seeing how others look at things. I got stuck with men I never saw elsewhere.
"The mixers should be professional as well as social. In any university we get narrowed down to our own particular department and know almost nothing of the other departments, their organization, their leaders, their cars. If we could learn more about them, we would work together a lot better, and accomplish much more. Find out what the Chancellor is doing, and the heads of departments are doing, and do it. The beefsteak would be a mighty good bait to get us all together. It's worth trying, anyhow."
Prof. Galloo Will Read
The department of French an nounced this morning that Miss Eugenie Gallio, head of the department, will read the French Play, Le Medi cinechalique, on Friday at 4:30 in Room 306 Fraser, to the French Club, The Cercle Francais, and to the cast which will produce the play on April 17.
Hash House League Commission meets tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Daily Kansan office.
HAMILTON FIELD
The new baseball field south of McCook is at present nameless. To do away with an endless amount of circumloculation, and to honor William Oliver Hamilton, manager of the Atlanta baseball suggests that the field henceforth be known as Hamilton Field.
The Daily Kansan will hereafter employ that name, and suggests that it be used in the Hash House League schedule.
PI VISITS WOMEN'S PAN-HELLENIC DANCE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 16, 1915.
NUMBER 112
Departs Like a Gentleman, However
The women's Pan-Hellenic dance is on, no man is in the room, and joy, though perhaps unconventional, is unconfined—the women are free to gambol and cavort to their heart's content, with never a masculine eye to embarrass them, and they are making the most of the opportunity.
A door at the west end of the Hall opens slowly and quietly, and Pi, of 19 West Adams, walks out. The hall is closed and finds out that no men are present. Door opens softly and Pi like a gentleman departs.

TRAIN IVY ON CAMPUS BUILDINGS--GOLDSMITH
Professor of Architecture Cite Fowler Shops as Example
"By the judicious planting of ivy around the University buildings, the University could be given the appearance of age and tradition in a few years in a cheap and satisfactory manner," says Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, of the department of architecture. "It would take a number of years to obtain the same result trees, owing to their stand growth. Our buildings now stand alone and bare as should easily be given the building needs by a growth of green ivy over the bare rocks and make the building seem more like a part of the landscape.
"We have one instance," continued Professor Goldsmith "of what a little ivy will do for a building in Fower shops. Even in winter the bareness of the rocks is softened by the Fower Shrub's warm affection by the work of ivy. The buildings on the east end of the campus have a more artistic appearance owing to the growth of trees but it is not so with the west end **w** the grounds. The buildings there stand bare and will be preserved in appearance for years unless some trailing shrub is planted around them.
"The people of the University are continually clamoring for a tradition. Traditions grow and are not made, and it is only with the appearance of one that we are part of the big eastern universities, with their historic old buildings, covered with moss and ivy."

ENTOMOLOGIST HAS MOTH
MADE POPULAR IN NOVE
Prof. H. B. Hungerford, assistant in entomology, has a newly emerged specimen of the beautiful Actias Luna Moth, which is the subject of much description by the writer Porter Potter "The Girl of the Lumberlost," and "Freckles."
The specimen was secured in its larvae form by Miss Elisa Barteld, senior College, at Madeline Island about four miles from Asheb, Wis.
This "moth of the moon" emerged from its cocoon, day before yesterday; and the entomology classes have been watching its development. The moth of the deep wood, is noted for its exquisite beauty and delicacy. It's day time habitat is in the dense shade, it flies at night, ending it's life period in from three days to a week.

POETRY A SIDELINE WITH EUGENE WARE
He Was a Lawyer and Wrote for Own Amusement, Judge Cory Says
"Shrines are slow to come in new states but they will come, and the time will be when the people of Fort Scott will be proud to point out the old home of Eugene Ware and say, 'Ironquill once lived there.'" With these words Judge C. E. Cory of Fort Scott, Kansas summons his high regard for the men he诗 in his lee- books, Fitch Ware, delivered in Fraser Church yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cory was for many years the law-partner of Mr. Ware.
"Verse making never interfered with Ware's work," said Mr. Cory.
"As other lawyers went to ball games, they knew so this one wrote
or on fishing trips so this one we verses. Never in all his life he accepted a cent from the literary magazine he received a check from a magazine for a sonnet which Mr. Gleed of Kansas City sent to the publisher. The author sent the check to Mr. Gleed saying 'that a man who can get money out of our library is is of course at the one who me encashed check is now in Mrs. Ware's scrap book.
"Flying in the face of general opinion," asserted Mr. Cory, "I do not regard 'The Song of the Washerwoman' Mr. Ware's best work." The Kritzerian wrote in answer to criticism of it. Because of its clearness of thought, and dignified manner I consider 'The Kriterion' his best piece of finished poetry."
NEW MAGAZINE OUT SOON

HERE'S THE REAL MOTT FOLLOW-UP
Salvation Free; Soap Half-price
A number of "follow-ups" to the Mott campaign have been announced, but the only real and original aftermath is now in Lawrence.
Doctor Mott and his assistant spent a week cleansing and generally overhauling the inner man, and now comes the obliged press agent of a brand of toilet soap company; clean up it himself without using the most delicate skin. Though Doctor Mott brought salvation to students free, the soap man says he can't give his wares away—that would put him out of business and then he would become the friend of his wonderful boon to suffering mankind—but he is willing to do the best thing He'll sell full-sized bars of soap at half-price.
While the soap man admits that his line at half price isn't as economical as salvation, he points out that every one needs them both. Therefore, still quoting the soap man, all ought to avail themselves of this extraordinary opportunity to save a dime. Q. E. D.
CISTERNS HAVE HARD WATER
Since Snow Has Melted Water Contains Mineral Substances
Was the last week's snow frozen from hard water? Director, C. C Young, of the state water laboratory insists that it is impossible. Nevertheless the water motors on the slopes of the Hill are drawing hard water from many of the cisterns which formerly contained soft water. Prof. Merle Thorpe, of the department of journalism, was the first to complain. The water at his cistern at 1301½ Henesse street had none of the elements that change soap into a greasy slime but of the suds producing type. "Now," he declares, "the water will not begin to break soap."
Chancellor Frank Strong's cistern a*sso shows this new development. The Chancellor's household has been bothered for some time with a cistern of hard water but this has beaten harder within the last few days.
Mrs. A. S. Olin says she noticed but little if any difference in their clister at 114 Louisiana street. But Mrs. Olin said the snow on the snow water found an entrance.
Prof. C. C. Young will make analyses of samples. He says he believes the explanation will be found not in the water snow from the roofs but from the fact that the ground water level is so much higher than in past years that it has found leaks near the top of the infected cisterns.
