Mrs. Brown Says Women Have Too Much Charm for Men
"It is not good form for the women of the University to take too much attention from the men," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, before the women's mass meeting in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Brown was speaking of the criticism, which she said was just, of the feminism of the women of Jamaica. "But the sin of the too close relationship between men and women is greater than the love of feminism. The women should allow the men to waste so much time and money on them. The young men here are too much aware of the women's charms, and it is the duty of the women to help turn the attentior of the men to other things."
Brs. Brown concluded that the responsibilities of the college women extended along many lines, since it

PAY MORE ATTENTION TO CLOTHES THAN ENGLISH
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMB R 4, 1914.
Miss Lynn Thinks Freshmen Could Improve Use of Language by More Care to it
"If the freshmen would be as careful of their speech as they are of their clothes, perhaps their theme papers wouldn't present such a battle-scarred appearance," said Miss Emerald of the English department yesterday in an optional matter with them. she continued earnestly. "If they were a mind to speak better English, they could. I'm sure. This is shown in that fact their written English is much better than their spoken English. The son of that is clear. They are graded on their written manuscripts.
"If I could only instil into their minds that it is just as much of a social accomplishment to be able to speak a well balanced, grammatically constructed sentence, as it is to dance correctly the Maxixe, fox-tor, or other new dances. I believe that there would be an immediate and complete innovation of the average freshman's vocabulary."
"The fault, is in the home. If a boy or girl use careless, slovenly are we not to infer that they come from homes of that description?"
WANT TO TAKE LAW BY MAIL
Many Ask in Vain for Correspondence Courses in Law
Many would-be lawyers over the state are debarred from taking up the study of the profession because the state committee on examinations for entrance to the bar discriminates against those who have received their instruction by mail. Nevertheless the University extension division is receiving applications for correspondence in law, and it is likely that if such committees were given, the examination委员会 would remove its restrictions
Nor would there be any objection from the National Association of Law Schools, as has been proved by the University of Texas, where such instruction has been given for several years with great success.
The applications received here are from men who earnestly desire to study law, and it looks as though they should not be denied the opportunity. The extension division is ready and willing to cooperate with the School of Law in extending the work to non-resident students.
JUDGE SMART OBJECTS TO MUCKRAKING THE COURT

CLASSES LINING UP ON STUDENT UNION
Frosh Help, So Do Sophs Juniors Won't and Seniors Will
Class aid for the Student Union is now lining up definitely. The freshmen favor the plan and will help, the sophomores are at work now, the junior offer nothing as a class, and the seniors will give active aid later, along with the money given from the senior committees.
Lawrence Miller, sophomore president, was busy last night with a committee, planning how to enlist the names of all sophomores listed the names of all sophomore members Miller, "and have a list of the signers up to date. We will apportion the names of the others among us and use every effort to swell the number of Union. This plan assures that all the sophomores have been asked."
Jim Barclay, freshman president, favors the idea of joining the Union and urges every freshman to join. "We have as yet no way of reaching every freshman to canvass his membership," he said.
The senior class cannot start an active campaign for the Union until after the Jayhawker is off its hands, according to Don Joseph, who will be in charge. The will get fifty per cent of the proceeds of the second staging of the senior plays, a portion of the money from the cap and gown committee, and a part from the invitation committee. He will also save a sum from the senior class. However, the fourth year students intend to take up more active work later.
Willard Burton doesn't hold out any help for the Union from the juniors as a class. "It seems that it is the business of the Student Councils on union thrives I have not thought of cavassing members from the juniors."
Alexander Creighton, chairman of the Council Union committee, said today that the campaign which closed Tuesday was a big disappointment to him. Twenty-one of the twenty-five petitions in circulation shown signed. There is a possibility that other four petitions and the signers to the Union may increase the number to 400.

VALLEY DELEGATES TO MEET AT LINCOLN
Hamilton and Murray Represent Kansas at Conference Today and Tomorrow
Manager W. O. Hamilton and Prof. E. W. Murray, faculty member of the Athletic Board, left last night for Lincoln to represent the University of Kansas at the annual meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference schools to be held there today and tomorrow.
One of the principal things to come up at the meeting is the drafting of the basketball schedule for the coming season. Although Kansas is sure to have four games each with Missouri, Washington, and the Kansas Aggies, Manager Hamilton said yesterday that an effort would be made to include James Ames and Nebraska for at least two games to be filled leaving only two games to be filled with schools other than Conference members.
Several of the schools probably will arrange tentative dates for 1915 football games at the meeting. According to reports from Lincoln, Nebraska will also get their spring track schedule into shape and will ask for dual meets with Kansas and Ames. The date and place for the Missouri Valley Conference meet will also probably be decided.
Proposed changes in the Conference rules regarding scholarship is expected to cause a hot scrap. At the last meeting a rule was proposed which would require any athlete participating in the Conference to carry at least one fourth of his complete college work each year. The ruling would work an especial mural on the Nebraska athletes and the hunker representatives are prepared to make a hard fight to get the ruling defeated. Also be aided by the Kansas Agric delegates for the new rule which is in much disfavor at the Agricultural institution.
To insure its passage the proposed change must obtain at least a two-thirds vote* which means the endorsement of five of the Conference members.
The effect of athletics upon scholarship will also come up at the meeting and a statistics of the relative standing in scholarship of football, basketball, baseball, and track men will be given out. Comparison with students made with the scholarship standing in students engaged in other school activities like debating, and work on college publications.
The following will probably represent the other conference schools at the meeting: Barber of Nebraska Manley of Missouri, Moorehouse of Drake, Byer of Ames, and Van Court of Washington.
CHRISTMAS VACATION WILL
BEGIN AT NOON FRIDAY
"It has always been customary for Christmas recess to be at noon on the Friday preceding Christmas day and it is very probable that this will be the case this year," said Chancellor Strong this afternoon, when asked for the date of the beginning of the notebooks.
So classes will be dismissed at 12:20 o'clock December 18 and will be dismissed at 8:20 o'clock January 4, unless other conversions are made before that time.
Prof. H. P. Cady, of the department of chemistry, returned this morning from Baldwin where he went last night in the interest of the state committee of the White Cross. He left on another morning train for Junction City. Prof. F. R. Hamilton, of the extension division, returned this morning and will go again soon. Prof. Carl Becker will probably leave some time today on a speaking tour of the state.
FACULTY MEMBERS SPEAK IN INTEREST OF BELGIANS
Professor Cady reports that the work is progressing nicely. At Baldwin he said the authorities had told us about the same men in the talks for the Balbarians that recently secured the $45,000 for the University.

JUNIORS WILL VOTE ON
ANNUAL PICTURES MONDAY
Third Year Students Will Consider Proposition by Balloting Next Week
The proposition of having individual pictures of the juniors in the Jayhawker will be decided by a two-hour election Monday morning. Ballots stating the proposition will be handed out from the Saturday Evening Post boy's location from 8 o'clock until 10:30 o'clock, and the number of affirmative votes received will determine the question.
The ballots read: "The proposition accepted and recommended by the junior Annual Advisory Committee is loved that the committee recommend it, to place their individual pictures in the 1915 Jayhawk. Each Junior to receive a personal write up like that given seniors in previous Jayhawk-town runs in panels of eight, price of same to be $2.00 to defray expense of cut."
"This proposition if accepted by a representative vote of the class makes the placing of a junior's picture in the annual entirely optional with himself.
"This method is used by all the other leading schools of the Missouri valley and will enable the management to be comparable with that of other schools.
"It will also make the book more representative of the University, and it will develop better acquaintance-hip among the present junior class when seniors.
"Question: Shall the juniors have individual pictures? Yes. No."
Manager Blair Hackney thinks that in view of the reduced number of seniors this year that the acceptance of the above plan is the only means of assuring an Annual that is up to the K. U. standard. He believes that the sooner this plan is started at Kansas the better will be the school's Annuals. This opinion is based on the books gotten out by the Aggies, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ames and Drake.
"HONESTY IS BEST POLICY"
Dean Blackmar Says Group That is Right Will Succeed
Dean F. W. Blackman gave the last of a series of five talks about "the best of the Best," at morning prayers in Fraser chapel this morning.
"The fittest to survive are those best able to cope with the struggle for existence," said Dean Blackmar. "However, when we speak of the fittest, we do not consider the moral and altruistic values as we do when we speak of the honesty 'best policy' is an old way of stating that it is wise in that the group that is right will succeed. In order to survive spiritually, we have to associate with Jesus Christ, who has given us the highest standard of ethical teachings. If you want life, real life, follow Him."
FROSH WILL BE TOOK
FOR ANNUAL WEDNESDAY
The freshman group picture to the Jayhawker will be taken Wednesday, December 9, at 12:20 o'clock but after the 11:30 o'clock classes, in front of Snow Hall. This is the only event you will be taken for this purpose and it is necessary that everyone wishing to be "taken" should be there.
"Only those having red tags with them," said J. F. Barclay, freshman president, "will be allowed in the picture. Others should get tags from the memorial committee at once."

ALL WATER CUT OFF FROM HILL BUILDINGS
With Exception of Fire Protection, Mount Oread is Dry
No water is available in the buildings of the University now. This is caused by the low pressure supplied by the water company and the altitude of the school buildings. The condition first existed this morning will continue until the water company digs new wells or a rain comes.
At present there is slight pressure at the Chancellor's residence on Louisiana street, this being the low-lying area. All others are cut off completely.
This, does not mean, however, that there is no fire protection. The water in Potter Lake is saved for that. With the exception of a half hour a day for the heating plant there is no draught on the Lake, and confagination would find all the water of Potter on it.

TAKES SWAT AT H. C OF
L. BY EATING THREE MICE
A spreading adder, captured by Vic Householder on a sand bar near Bonner Springs and now caged in the Museum, has subsisted for a year on house mice alone, often eating as many as three for a meal. The young fusil puffer addon has a reputation for being one of the mosticious in the minds of most people, but it is one of the most harmless reptiles of North America.
One of the most curious beliefs about it is that the breath of this snake will cause instant death to the person breathing it. This snake and the same species the Hog Nosed Snake have the curious habit of playing possum when they wish to evade the tormenting of its captors.
