CHINESE STUDENTS SPEND
CASH AMERICA GAVE THEM
Nearly fifty Chinese students have been sent each year to American universities on the $11,000,000 Boxer indemnity that the United States returned to the Chinese government to be used for educational purposes. Before the student is eligible he must pass rigid examinations in Chinese literature and history and English. Besides he must be of sound health, general intelligence, good social position and suitable age.
It is also provided that 80 per cent of the students sent shall specialize in industrial arts, agriculture, science and similar branches while the rest must take law and the science of government.
DE PAUW GRADUATE SPENDS
TIME IN JAPANESE PRISON
Frank F. Newhouse, a graduate of DePauw University last year was captured recently as a German spy and imprisoned at Kobe, Japan, by the Jannese officials. Mr. Newhouse experienced considerable trouble in clearing himself and was permitted to continue on his way to his destination only after spending several days in prison.
He was on his way to Tien Tsin, Chma, where he is now teaching English and science in the government University, when he was seized

Poets, Growers of Biggest Corn or Finest Cattle May Get Certificates
Kansas is preparing to establish a legion of honor among her own citizens for social work they have done, going to the Christian Science Monitor.
It is proposed to grant some prizes of honor—but at present of little cash value—to Kansas men and women who have performed some distinctive service for the state or its citizens. The state board of administration, which will have charge of granting these "certificates of recognition," has control of all the educational institutions of the state.
This plan is to be made to apply to a variety of fields of activity in the industries and professions. For instance, S. G. Trent of Hiawata has developed a kind of field corn especially adapted to the climate and soils of Arizona. He rinsed rilled 100 bushels to the acre, which is said to be the national record.
J. M. Gilman of Leavenworth has grown what is termed an entirely new variety of corn that is almost if not write the equal of the Trent brand.
MANY MT. OREAD CHANGES IN 40 YEARS
J. W. Lough of Scott City, first showed pump irrigation to be practicable on the high table land of western Kansas, thus leading to the opening for settlement of thousands of acres before thought worthless except for grazing. There are stock raisers who have brought about superior development in their herds, and Miss Mary Best of Barber county has distinguished herself in when raised that her crop is bought years in advance by state legislators for experimental purposes. Then the state has several authors and other professional workers of note; it is intended by the methods proposed to recognize and encourage such useful services.
MICHIGAN STUDENTS PLAN
TO GO ON OPERATIC TOUR
Blue Mound is Still the Same
Enthusiasm is running high among vocalists, musicians and composers at the University of Michigan following an announcement made a few days ago that the Michigan Union opera, presented annually by students, will play before six large cities during its tour. Places on the case will be held in the near future and it is expected that the competition will be keen.
Freshmen in the School of Medicine of the McGill University, Montreal, Canada, are saved the trouble of paying barber bills by the sophomores who wielded the razor. Perhaps, the treatment which the yearling undergoes more than makes up for the saving in his yearly expenses
The annual production of the Michigan Union is strictly a student undertaking. The music and lyrics of the opera are written by students, all parts of the cast are limited to students and the orchestra music is furnished by the University orchestra.
"Forty years ago I stood on the roof of Fraser Hall," remarked J. O. Payne, a traveling locksmith from California, reminiscent. "At that time the only other building connected with the University was what was known as the Ladies Seminary." The story of Rip Van Winkle to come back after all the years and see the changes of time."
The six cities where the opera will be presented are Detroit, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Milwaukee, South Bend, Toleo. It is also very likely that a return engagement will be played in Detroit.
SOPHOMORES SHAVE LIPS
OF ALL FIRST YEAR MEN
Hair on the upper lips of the second year man is also taboosed. Sophomores themselves are enforcing the rule on their own men and are seeing that it is obeyed. Many of the sophomores are glad of the rule that members of their class should not wear a mustache because they feared they would be unable to grow one.
Mr. Payne was greatly impressed with the exhibits in the Natural Science Museum. "Only those who have been in the Rockies can realize the wonderful resemblance of the mountain to their originals."
After walking over the campus he expressed his desire to once more stand up on the roof of Fraser. "The change in the city," he said on coming down, "is as great as in the school, but the big hill to the south is still there and looks as it did forty years ago."
BUDGET FOR 1915 JAYHAWKER
Board Will Balance Resources and Expenditures, and Print no Extra Copies
The 1915 Jayhawker management decided at a meeting shortly before the Thanksgiving holidays to follow the advice of Prof. Merle Thorpe and put this year's Annual on a budget system.
By this system all resources are figured out and guaranteed before the money is spent. Advertisers have been solicited earlier than ever before and seniors are urged to pay their dues at once so that the Jayhawk management can get a definite line on its resources.
The editors will act accordingly and only the books ordered by students will be printed. Heretofore Jayhawker boards have ordered extra annuals and consequently have been left with a hundred or two on their hands. This year the Board proposes to put that money into the Annuals ordered and to have no waste. Not a single Jayhawker will be printed other than those signed for.
MUSIC IS A HUMAN NEED
This the Message Famous Vocals Artist Brings to K. U.
Madame Alain Webster Powell, LL.B., Mus. B., A. M., Ph.D., graduate of Columbia and New York Universities, will give her famous "Music as a Human Need," in Lawrence on the night of January 21.
Dr. Webster Powell is a vocal artist of international reputation. She has made a study of the response of nationalities and classes of people to music, and embodied the results of her study in a doctor's thesis, the outcome of which is the lecture to be given here.
Dr. Webster Powell is being sent to each state in the Union' by the Public Good Society of New York, of which she is founder and president. She furnishes programs for her lecture, brings her own Steinhay grand piano, and plays her own accompaniments. She asks nothing but an earnest consideration of the purpose of the lecture during its increase interest in music as a health measure, and to assist in establishing free governmental schools of music, unaided by private donations.
Part I of the program is a study of toneelogy-music as a remedy in nerve disturbances, and as a preserver of the faculties; music and war spirit; and the place for music in universities. Part II is a dissertation on "Types of Music for Types of Mind," illustrated by selections from Hungarian, Italian, German, British, French, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, American, Scotch, and Irish composers.
BURGLARS ROB SORORITY
WHILE ALL WOMEN SLEEP
Burglaries recently entered the Chi Omega sorority house at the University of Texas and secured six dollars in cash. Members of the sorority were skipping on a screened in porch when the men were going through the rooms.
The call was the second one made on the house and one of many that have been made on houses in the student district of Austin. The robbery of the Chi Omega house occurred at 6:30 o'clock in the morning.
On the same morning men entered the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house and took with them a bag of coal from the cellar.
MARTIAL SPRIT INVADES
STUDENT BODY AT MEGILI
Women Have Hike Club
Young women at George Washington University have a 'University job' and take hikes when the weather gets cold. They have gone on two long walks this fall.
The martial spirit of the British Empire has invaded even the colleges and universities of Canada. McGill University, of Montreal, recently began recruiting a university battalion among members of its student body, and it now has nearly a thousand members.
A number of students are to leave with the second Canadian contingent, and before leaving were tendered a dinner, at which they listened to songs and to speeches by faculty and military men, who gave them advice as to how to make good soldiers and to rise in the service. The dinner closed with a round of peppery toasts and the promise that their home-com
ing should be the occasion for an even greater banquet.
SURPRISE AUCTION MAKES
LOTS OF FUN AND MONEY
Any organization or society wanting to make easy money? The junior class at the University of Chicago has a new scheme. They gave a surprise auction last Sunday. The packages held any thing from pretzels to hair curlers, but ten cents was given to everyone ever, was said to contain a Ford, and brought fifty cents. It turned out to be a little red wheebrower. Over four dollars was made from the auction. Easy plan, better try it.
