Robins and Hoffman Urge Men to MakeDefiniteStand for Christian Life
PERSONAL
Many Opportunities Offered Student to Engage in Construction Work in Lawrence
Yesterday was the "Conservation Day" of the Mott-Robins campaign. Two hundred men, commitmentemen who had made decisions during the meetings, met in Myers Hall at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and again at 7:15 o'clock last evening to discuss religion, industrial, and social work.
Raymond Robins presided at the afternoon meeting, and in his farewell talk to the men said, "Never have I seen a body of men get under a load and lift it with the fine spirit you men have shown. I expect mighty things of the men in this room. I am grateful to each one of you. We have had one good round, have tried to play fair, and man is stranger for the work he has. I want every man in this room to be able to stand on his feet a year from now and say, 'I have done the devil definite damage.' Every man must show that he is a living Christian."
Real Friendship Needed
H. L. Heinznam spoke on the need for more real friendship among the students, more than merely living to be friends, and more than for 'bove' work and gospel team work
for more real friendship among the students, more than merely living together. He pointed out opportunities for boy's work and gospel team work Stanton Olinger urged the men to take advantage of opportunities for service in the churches of the city He urged attendance at church in the proper spirit, enrollment in Bible study with the purpose of utilizing the knowledge obtained by activities in the young adult groups, outreach classes for personal workers which are being organized in the churches, activity in community work, and in the general work of the church.
Plenty of Work Ahead
Mott Emphasized Prayer
Fred H. Rindge said "I have on this sheet of paper a list of jobs in social and industrial service work which would keep 150 men busy right here in Lawrence." The work is among foreigners, in shops and factories, and with working boys. Leaders in gymnasium and Bible study classes are needed for negro boys and girls. Teachers' first aid are needed for workingmen. There are big opportunities for big brothers' work.
Join Church. Hoffmann Says
Con Hoffman, used the necessity of joining the church. Next Sunday has been set aside for this purpose, "The weaker you think the church is, the more reason you have for joining it," he said.
John R. Mott presided at the evening meeting. In his farewell message, he emphasized the necessity of each man's breaking away each day from the presence of other men to give their "rays," to keep reliable and efficient the voice of conscience, to take the step between knowing our duty and doing our duty, to preserve the power of spiritual growth, and to have the power of vision'. Cards were passed giving each man a chance to outline the results desired to make as a result of his decision.
Harrison Elliott urged the men to join Bible study or mission study classes. Four classes in branches of mission study are now organized on the Hill. New classes are being organized in the churches.
Dr. Mott left the meeting to catch the 8:40 train for Des Moines, Iowa, where he addresses the legislature today.
Women Have Work to Do, Says F. H.Rindge
"The power of God on the campus is in the hands of the students," declared Raymond Robins in his farewell talk to the women of the University last night in Snow Hall. "They alone can conceive the purposes and the decisions made during the past few days. It is in that light that you are the highest standard of any University. They are the custodians of a greater glory for Oread than athletic or even intellectual. The final test of Christianity is to recreate the spirit of Christ in others. The text of

Inexperienced Men are Planning t Enter Competition Meets for Place on Squad
With the gymnasium cleared of most of the religious campaign paraphernalia, the Kansas track athletes are putting in extra time in an el- *ed* training session for their annual clash with the Missouri Tigers on the indoor boards at Convention Hall Friday night. The candidates are on their toes for none are too sure of a place on the team. More interest and real work will be possible during the next two days than at any earlier time this year.
To give candidates, unable to train on account of the unfavorable weather, a better chance for one of the four cups, Manager W. O. Hamilton has decided to postpone the prize competition until Wednesday afternoon. However, in order that none of the participants, including the escape him, the K. U. marmarin and the inexperienced runners springing along side the veterans, who taught them the fine points about starting and form.
Two of the unknowns, lured into competition by the prospect of attaining permanent possession of a silver loving cup, showed to good advantage alongside the Varsity men. A chap named Crowley, on his first day in spikes, followed the veterans closely. Another unknown, Sturtevant, succeeded in disposing of Eugene Davies last year's Varsity ball in straight batts. It is not too late to enter this competition and Manager Hamilton expects to see several more entrants on hand Wednesday.
Apparently all outgoing Junka City news that deals with track athletics is closely censored, but an undercurrent of Tiger confidence has penetrated even to Lawrence. The Missourians are elated over the showing of their team in the annual indoor meet of the Kansas City Athletic Club and think that the strong points in their squad far outnumber the weak ones; it is curiously now that each unit is considered the possibility of the meet being decided on the relay and also that the followers of athletics at both schools are touting their teams as sure winners.
However uncertain the relay may be, there is one certainty which no one disputes. That is that Manager W. O. Hamilton is just about the only person that has any very definite idea of how the K. U. team will lie up against the Tiger athletes. The athletes themselves are up in the air, the dopesters can only guess and writers refuse to try any predictions — not the failure means ridicule and success means "spilling the beans," if we may be allowed to use that classical term in a sport varn.
Anyhow, stick around, and when Hamilton pulls the cork there will be something better than glue in the bottle.

Quartet Has Unequalable Opportunities in Interpretation Dean Skilton Says
CONCERT IN GYM TONIGHT
Fourth Number of University Concert Course Comes Tonight— The Program
The Zoellener String Quartet will give the fourth number of the Concert Course tonight in Robinson Gymnasium at 8:15 o'clock.
"The string quartet music is classed as chamber music, from the old French custom of having violins to strings and a harp in the chamber of Louis XIV," said Dean C. S. Skilton this morning. "This style of music has always been a favorite with the great composers, who have delighted to express their finesse and most intimate ideas with the instruments. We have heard that they have their individual interest, and each part is important, the idea of team work being the controlling one. "The Zoellener Quarter is particularly qualified to illustrate this point. He was a father, daughter and two sons, any of whom might be taken for K. U. students. Having studied and practiced together continually they have developed an ensemble which has made them famous throughout th
"The string quartet can play in pure intervals, which the piano cannot. On the piano the octave is divided into twelve equal half-steps for convenience in playing in any key, which is called the tempered scale, but the half steps should not really be exactly the same. The violin is capable of making the exact shades of difference when guided by the instrument's vibrations accustomed to playing alone plays in pure intervals, which is one reason why many consider it the most delightful form of music.
"The program consists of one classical quartet by Beethoven and short numbers by Russian composers. When we remember that in those countries the quartet is the social distancing games and dances it is easy to see why they have excelled in its production."

Members Have Reported to Their Houses That Agreement is Impossible
ADJOURNMENT A* WEEK OFF
If Houses Can't Compromise Before Tuesday, Special Session May Have to be Called
The conference committee of the legislature has agreed to disagree on the educational appropriations. The house members of the conference committee have recommended that the house kill the senate bill which provided for $1,005,000 more than the house bill.
With adjournment set for a week from today, political leaders at Topeka are uncertain as to the outcome of the debate. The senate can consider the house bill and call for another conference, or it can kill the house measure and the new bills would be dismissed again and the whole process repeated.
If no agreement is reached within a week when the legislature adjoins, then the <u>governor</u> will have to call a <u>appropriator</u> to reconsider the appropriations.
Keene, of Bourbon, explained the appropriation situation to the house.
Senate Favors Hospital Clause
"The house offered, in addition to the $125,000 for the new building at Hays, on which both were agreed, to allow $250,000 for a new building, complete, at the Emporia Normal. We also offered to allow the $20,000 for the Weir City school of mines. In return we asked the senate to cut out the other new buildings, and sub-unit improvements, or other improvements, on which there was a difference altogether of some $165,000. The senate refused to meet this concession this afternoon.
"Tonight, instead, they offered a counter proposition that simply could not be considered. They proposed that we agree to appropriate $355.—before I should be sure none of them to be completed unless the next legislature saw fit—which would have meant no new building facilities at all at these places until 1918. The rest of their proposition was for $7,500 for Rosedale hospital.
"Here is what their counter proposition called for. At the University, in 1317 on a new $250,000 building in 1318 at a new $140,000 in 1917 on a $250,000 building. At the Agricultural college, $40,000 in 1317 on a new $100,000 building. At the Pittsburg school, $75,000 in 1317 on a new $125,000 building."
