LAWRENCE TO HAVE
WELFARE OFFICER
Party is Free for all
The city commissioners of Lawrence, this morning, appointed H. W. Boltz to be superintendent of public welfare for the city of Lawrence. The appointment is the result of the recommendation of the recreation department of the Lawrence land survey of which Dr. James Naismith was chairman.
Mr. Boltz is at present secretary of the city Y. M. C. A. but will devote the greater part of his time to the welfare work.
Party is Free for all
A few faculty members did not get formal invitations to Colonial Party to be given Friday night. This was due to some oversight, and not intentional. Every faculty member is invited. Governor and Mrs. Capper will be present, with a party.
Council Election Thursday
Two opportunities for the vacancies on the Student Council have been filed by R. G. Walters, sophomore College, and Pat Crowell, junior College, and will be voted on by the Council Thursday night. The meeting scheduled for tonight was postponed because of the senior play.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 23, 1915.
FLEDGLING SCRIBES ARE AWED AND FUSSED
Prof. Merle Thorpe took his class in editorial problems and policies to Topeka last Friday to report the legislature for the newspapers.
Meet Real Writers in Topeka
The embryonic journalists were frightened at the prospect of sitting in so prominent a place at the front of the big room full of legislators, and in their agitation Miles Vaughn stuck the wrong end of his cigar in his mouth; Eliar realized that she wouldn't write a line; and Harry Willson didn't write a line because he went to report the legislature without a pencil. But after the newness of the situation began to wear off, the fledgling reporters felt very proud of their post among the real writers of the news, until the afternoon papers ran a line stating that several rabah boys on the ground were reporting. After that, Bill Cady was the only man willing to brave the eyes of the legislators and their pretty secretaries.
Gilbert Clayton announced that he had come for business, and he found it—pleasant of it. Gilbert labored, and he took them to a nursery in a little office, till 10 o'clock Friday night, and claims that he lost seven pounds in weight. It worried him so that he walked the streets all together, accompanied by Willson and Cady.
Professor Thorpe was struck with the beauty of a papier-mache dog in the window of a pie-factory, and bought Earl Carr a piece of pie to do the job. The professor Dracoble ate the pie, and then returned and announced that the lady wanted $$ for the pup. The professor didn't buy—he had just bought the boys a pie. Then he bought it at 5c per, but he doesn't see yet how nine times five make $2.30.
KANSAS ACADEMY TO LIVE
Bill to Abolish Scientific Society Killed in Legislature
The bill that was introduced into the House of Representatives a few weeks ago to abolish the Kansas Academy of Science has been killed according to Dean L. E. Saye, of the School of Pharmacy, one of the academy's staff members of the bill, the collections belonging to the academy were to be housed in the new memorial building, at Topeka. A number of other bills concerning the Academy will come up during the presentation, but the nature of them is now known.
The Kansas Academy of Science is one of the oldest educational societies in the state, being established in 1867. Its object is to collect and diffuse knowledge of science, particularly in relation to the state of Kansas. It's an institution where the state is the worker of an office secretary and the priming of its reports.
Zoology Club meets tomorrow evening instead of tonight. Frank Ackers will make a special report on our and the Bacteriology Movement."
Paul J. Brindel, freshman College, who was taken to his home in Kansas City last Wednesday because of illness, is improving.
The society was instrumental in getting the geological survey of the state and took an active interest in the development of the oil and coal resources of the state. The service to the state is in keeping alive an interest in science.
Recovers. From Injured.
William J. Willis, interim
administrator of the printing plant, of the department of journalism, appeared on the Hill this morning after an absence of a week on account of injuries received in the accident, at his home, 1515 Vermont street.
The Student Council dance which was to have been held last night has been postponed until after the Mott meetings.

"KANSAS DOES LIKE ART" JOHN KENDRICK BANGS HERE
ashyawkers Can Judge Pictures as Eastern Humorist Will be at University Well as Corn, Dr. Moore, Says city Convocation March 25
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"As a whole the people of Kansas compare favorably with those of any other state, as lovers of art," said Dr. John T. Moore, who is in charge of the art exhibit on the third floor of the administration Building, this morning.
Do you know where the front door of the campus is, or should be? What changes would you make in the layout of the grounds now that the new Adjacent Building is considered as the central building instead of Fraser Hall?
"It is generally supposed that the people of this state are very adept in judging stock and agricultural products, but have no conception of art. This assumption is erroneous, as far as the latter clause is concerned. Kansas has probably more colleges in education than other state in the union and as a consequence its people appreciate art. Education develops an understanding of art. Take Lawrence for instance. This town has always been a good one for art exhibits because the people, as well as the elites, are more have a better conception of art than the inhabitants of other towns this size.
Kansan Board to Meet The Daily Kansan Board will meet tomorrow night at the office at 7:15 o'clock.
You probably can't answer these questions not, but if you go to E. E Walker's lecture at 4:30 o'clock next Friday afternoon in Marvin Hall, you'll be able to discuss the subject ably.
"Are there any great Kansas artists?" Dr. Moore was asked.
wet, no. That is, there are no Kansas artists that really could be considered great. Of course several men from the Sunflower state have exhibited their work in Paris and New York, and they signify that their work was particularly fine. Most of the paintings done by these Kansas artists, were good technically and attracted attention in art circles for this reason. Of course the people of this state are not so well-known as some states, but not boast of some great artist as a fellow statesman. Great artists are exceptions, just as Mark Twain was an exception as a writer. One man out of many thousands rises to fame as an artist and, as Kansas is not a national province, he develop a man of national or international prominence in art circles is limited."
"May the ideals that made Wash-
ington and Lincoln great be the ideals
of Americans today," said W. L. Bur-
dock at morning prayers today
Greatest among the children of che-
ers are not thrust upon men. It is wo-
only by achievement."

John Kendrick Bangs, one of the most noted humorists of the United States is to appear in chapel Thursday afternoon March 25 at 4:30 o'clock. Prof. F. H. Hamilton, manager of the extension division, was not the least backward in saying that Mr. Bangs is one of the best speakers that has been secured this year by the convocation committee.
Besides having been managing editor of Life, editor of the department of humor for Harper and Brothers, editor of "Literature," editor of "Harper's Weeky" and the "Metropolitan Magazine," Mr. Bangs has written several books and articles containing qualities. The "Genial IIid" and "A Houseboat on the Styx" are two of the most important of his works.
His subject when he appears before students here will be "Salubriites I Have Met," including person named Spencer Tencer Phillip Richard Harding Davis, George Anne, Henry M. Stanley, Mrs. Stanley, Richard Henry Stodden, A. Conan Doyle, Andrew M. Docke, D. Rockefeller, and Mark Twain.
An addition to the journalism library was received last week from D. A. and L. F. Valentine, publishers of the Clay Center Times, when they gave 22 volumes of the Island Print-Date date from 1893 to 1914 inclusive and will be bound and indexed for use in the department of journalism.
As the result of an experiment, Prof. Charles A. Shull, of the department of botany has discovered that natural gas has no injurious effects on the growth of plants. This is a decided contrast to the deadly works of artificial gas.
JOURNALISM LIBRARY
GETS INLAND PRINTER
In the experiment, Professor Shull used sweet pea seedlings two or three centimeters tall. These he put in a gas tank containing an atmosphere of five per cent natural gas. At the end of three days no perceptible change had occurred in the growth of the plants.
Company M, Kansas National Guard, stationed at the University, has just received the silver trophy won by the rife team in last year's OL tournament, beamed among the other trophies of the company Robinson Gymnasium.

OUR SHERLOCK HITS THE SCENT
Side Dale in Fraser Hall
Finds Polecat in Fraser Hall
Sherlock snuffed the air thought,
"we are on the train," he whispered
"we are on the train."
And they groped about in the darkness which was broken only by dim rays from their dark lamtern, and they lay on its surface every foot of the way as they went.
They passed the old check stand, and examined the door of the Chancellor's grope. On all four they groped toward Registrar Foster's office, said George O. about Watson suggested. But Sherlock heard him not.
He sniffed twice and steered to the leeward. "Watson," he observed knocking the ashes from his pipe calmly, "we are on the scent." And he went down on all fours again and sniffed guardedly.
"Room 113," Watson observed, and he ventured in.
“He’s in there, he’s in there,” the door squeaks through the door. Sherlock’s arms.
"I'll get him or die" the famous detective shouted as he stacked Watson against the wall and rushed through the door holding his nose. There followed a moment of silence, then the clanking and grinding of the room, grinding of the room, dragging a torn, foulsmelling object. He flung it across the hall. "A darned polecat. Where's my pipe."
Although the equipment in Western schools is generally inferior to that of the colleges on the Atlantic slope, Kansas students are more alert and keenly alive to the possibilities of an education, according to Prof. Walter Rautenstrauch of U.S.A., who used the University of Kansas section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at Marvin Hall last week.
LIKES STUDENTS FROM WEST
Columbia Professor Tells K. U. Engi neers About Research Work
"I feel that I am competent to judge for I have instructed in both Western and Eastern schools," said Professor Rautenstrauch. "I fact I was recommended to my present position by a western man, Dean Walker of the Engineering school at Kansas," he continued.
Professor Rautenstrauch conferrer with several K. U. seniors working in the field who intend to take graduate courses and do advance research work.
UNIVERSITY PAYROLL HELPS
STUDENTS THROUGH SCHOOL
For the month of January fifty-nine K. U. students received $10,134 from the state of Kansas for services rendered the University.
Twenty-five of the fifty-nine students are on the janitor force. Thirty-four are assistants in libraries, laboratories and offices. On an average these students received $17.17 for their January work. Some of the students work on the hour basis; others are paid by the month.
Alpha Taus Entertain
In honor of George, his birthday, and the hatchet, Alpha Tau Omega entertained with a matinee dance and festivities were at Ecke's Hall. Then the guests whizzed away through the snow to the chapter house, which was gaily decorated by emerald flowers in KU, U. colors. Seventy-five plates were laid for the banquet.
The chaperones were Prof. am, Mrs. J. N. Van der Vries and Prof. am, H. F. Harrington. Sevient out-of-town guests were in attendance.

By defeating the Missouri basketball five both Friday and Saturday night the Kansas team is assured of another Valley Championship though it won't be before her schedule is completed. K. U. has played more conference games than any other team, and has lost but one of them; Missouri, her nearest competitor, has lost two contests in this season made here last week, it doesn't take a sage to predict the result of the two games at Columbia.

Following the "curtain-raiser" staged by Missouri and Kansas Saturday came the "real game of the evening" between a team composed of the coaches and officials in the Missouri games, and a pick-up University team known as the All-Stars. Half of the spectators stayed for the second contest, and they were amply rewarded for their trouble.
Hamilton Appeared in Suit
The second game was by far the most interesting, the most amusing, and the most hotly contested of the two. Both Halliburton and Wiley appeared on the court in a suit for the first time in months, and proved that he had lost none of his playing ability through developing Valley championship play in the game, and the crowd had the satisfaction of calling a foul on him.
