BASKETBALL SQUAD TO LOOK
REAL FEROCIOUS IN ANNUAL
Full length, individual pictures of each member of the basketball squad will be a feature of the 1915 Jayhawker. The pictures will have no background, but will stand boldly, being accented with that is to be the first time that Coach Hamilton's men have ever been given individual pictures in the Annual; formerly, only a group picture was used.
Unconventional photos of the football ball will also be used in the athletic section. With hair ruffled, faces scratched and perhaps muddy, our gridiron heroes will be given large individual portraits that have no hint of "photograph gallery agony" in them.
SAYS WOMEN CAN GO TO WAR LIKE MEN Dr • Alice Goetz Defends Sex
Dr.⁷Alice Goetz Defends Sex
"Women are perfectly capable of war service," said Dr. Alice L. Goetz, in commenting on the English formation of a Women's Volunteer Reserve. In such history that when the emergency comes women can do as much as men. When there is no call on their efforts women are apt to have headaches and nerves and illnesses, but when the necessity arises it is shown by our own pioneer history, as well as by other war emergencies.
"Women have not the muscular strength of men, but they have more endurance. They cannot carry such heavy guns nor walk so fast, but they can stand more hours of cold and discomfort and more pain.
"It will be a fine thing for lots of the women there who have had no chance to do anything big in their ordinary lives. Those women are going to have the time of their lives and are going because they want to
not because they have a patriotic Wilson' pulse. And it will be a develop- oment for them to exceed any they could have received in another way."
WOULD SURVEY SCHOOLS
Bill Introduced Into Legislature Provides for Investigation
"The College graduate is almost helpless to make his way in the world after he graduates," said state Senator J. D. Joseph, yesterday in introducing into the legislature a bill providing for a commission of nine members to make a survey of the schools and school systems in Kansas.
The proposed board would serve without pay with the exception of actual traveling expenses; would be appointed by the governor; may be composed of both men and women at the discretion of the governor. Two of the members of the committee are the city dwellers; four school men or women, of whom at least two must be county superintendents; and one lawyer.
The commission will have the power to make an investigation of the schools from the grades to the University and colleges.

(Miss Clark, the author of this frequently quoted poem was a student at the University in 1903-04. She is at present an assistant in the Extension Division. Her home is in Chanute. Mrs Reeves her poetry today before the Woman's Kansas Day Club in Topeka.)
Sunseted here with beauty, and the sensuous sweet perfume Borne in from a thousand gardens and orchards of orange bloom; Awed by the silent mountains; stunned by the breakers' roar— The restless ocean pounding and tugging away at the shore— I lie on the warm sand beach and hear, above the cry of the sea, The voice of the prairie, calling.
CALL OF KANSAS
Calling me.
Sweeter to me than the salt sea spray, the fragrance of summer rains; Neneer my heart that these mighty hills are the windspew Kansas
Dearer the sight of a shy, wild rose by the roadside's dusty way. Than all the splendor of poppy fields, ablaze in the sun of May. Gay as the bold poinsetta is, and the burden of pepper trees, The sunflower tawny and gold and brown, is richer to me, than these. And rising ever before the song of the hoarse, insistent sea, The voice of the prairie, calling.
Calling me.
Kansas, beloved by all of us, I have idly tapped with a bit of wood in the sand. The name that, sprung from a scorpial lip, will make the hot blood
start;
The name that is graven hard and deep, on the core of my loyal heart.
Oh higher, clearer and stronger yet, than the boom of the savage sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling.
ONE WEEK TO GET PICTURE
Juniors Will Have Until Friday, Feb 5 to Present Annual Photographs
Professors Merle Thorpe, L. N. Flint, H. F. Harrington and Mr. W. B. Brown, of the department of journalism, are in Topeka today attending the meeting of the state editorial association. They will return Sunday.
Juniors will not be able to secure a place in the Annual if their pictures are not placed in the hands of the Annual management before Friday of next week. This is the latest date upon which the records according to E. M. Johnson and Ross Busenbark, the M. m. who are directing the junior section.
Blair Hackney, manager and Loo Harsh, editor of the 1915 Jayhawker informed the men yesterday that a later date for receiving the junior pictures would delay the publication of the book to such an extent that it was absolutely necessary to place next week as the limit on the juniors.
A large number of pictures have been taken than were expected. Any who have not yet taken the picture may do so and turn the same into the office before the latter part of the week.
The Jayhawker office in the base ment of Green Hall, will be open all day Monday. The remainder of the week will only during the mornings. This arrangement has been made in order that those taking examinations on the Hill before noon may drop into the office for an exam between the different examinations.

TURTLE WALK
SUCCEED FOX TROT
Elephant Walk Also to the Fore
The waltz and the two-step are ancient, the Castle Walk and the hesitation are old, the foottrot and the twinkle passe. For the animal walk, the elephant walk, and the turtle walk have arrived.
They are teaching them over in the gym—to women only. And the gym is not really a gym, only, sort of a course in aesthetic gymnastics, if there is such a thing.
The animal walk is the latest; it is simply an imitation of the kangaroo's mode of progression, that is, the performer bends down so that she, proceeds on hands and feet, stepping on her hand, while she touches the left hand, and vice versa, giving a sort of a lopsided motion, but it's a new one, so we should worry.
The elephant walk is a variation of the same thing, that is, the walker still keeps her knees stiff as in the other one. She touches her feet outside the hands as she traverses the floor; while in the third one, the turtle walk, the feet track inside the hands and the members are crouched in a more comfortable posi-
Besides these playful anties, the girls are learning to play leap-frog, doing aesthetic work, and are dancing various folk dances. It is good to lose their dignity so they can good to lose their dignity for a little while. Lose it they sure do.
(ANSAN OFFICE TAMPERS WITH WIRELESS MESSAGES
A motor on one of the job presses in the printing department of the Daily Kansas offices, and another in the fan house caused some little trouble for V. A. Hunt and L. E. Whittmore, the students who are working on the wireless in Blake Hall.
Motor on Job Press Breaks in on Cur rent to Blake Hall
According to them the motors were on "the 600 meter wave, that of the commercial wireless stations" and caused some difficulty in the wireless' picking up messages from these stations. Two two men stood high, small instruments on the motors, which, they say, will eradicate the trouble.
OFFER TWO NEW COURSES
Economists Will Teach Statistics and Municipal Industries

More Accredited Schools?
The committee on high school relations is still at work in Prof. W. H. Johnson's office but the members are undecided as to what standard shall be established for first class high schools and re-establishing it in some time ago by schools throughout the state are being checked over but it probably will be late Saturday before a complete list of accredited high schools can be obtained. It is more than likely that the list will be extended to 500 according to a statement made some time ago by Prof. W. H. Johnson.
