KANSAS LAGS FAR BEHIND IN STATE APPROPRIATIONS
Chancellor Frank Strong in Convocation Points Out Urgent Need of Permanent Income for Univesity
To organize the University into a working body for a mill tax campaign, it has been decided to elect a Student Council, and Dr. Dr. Strong spoke in Fraser chapel this morning.
When such a law is passed the state schools will be able to make plans for the future. As it is now the legislature can not make an appropriation for more than two years This, according to the Chancellor, is a great handicap in making plans for the University.
Legislature is Backward
Able to Make Plans
Any legislature will hesitate to make a million dollar appropriation on its own responsibility, in the opinion of Doctor Strong. But when a state votes for such a permanent on its own responsibility, is the opinion of the hands of the legislators and placing it on the state at large; then the legislature need not hesitate to pass a mill tax law.
The Student Union was also discussed. President Bottomly and Prof. F. Harrington of the depart of journalism, also address the students.
The taxable property of Kansas is $2,804,825,712. A mill tax law would impose a tax on educational institutions of the state amounting to $2,804,825.
"Take the responsibility upon yourself, and see that your county is organized. It is the purpose of the Council to organize each county into a club, through which literature relative to the mill tax may be distributed to the people."
Doeer Strong contrasted the methods of appropriations for educational institutions in Michigan where the university is a high income and cheap place where it has not.
"I hope you will make a bigger Student Union possible by getting behind this one, even though it is its infancy," said Professor Harrington, professor Harrington is graduate of Ohio State where there is an excellent Student in the freshmen she the hope of a Union is in the freshmen and sophomores who have not yet formed cast-iron habits of association.
"Two years ago the University of Michigan had a permanent income of $1,522,539," said Doctor Strong. "Kansas had at that time a permanent income of $467,800." Michigan asked its state legislature to appropriate only$9,800, while Kansas had to ask for an appropriation of $499,800.
Must Want Union Building
Must Want Union
The Student Union is desirable. The student asks, first, it gives the student a chance to see his professor as he is outside the class room. After all an instructor is human and approachable, and it is a good thing to meet him occasionally in a Student Union building? concluded Professor Zamora.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1914.
Asks $1000 for Red Cross

Strong made a plea for Red Cross

"It is the first duty of Christianity" he said, "to protect the widows and orphans of Europe. It is in the welfare of the victims that we fall western civilization is a failure."

ADVISOR COMMENDS WOMEN
Mrs. Brown Says They Have Taken Steps Towards Model U. Life.
"The freshman girls are to be commended for being the first to get together in the interests of sociability," says Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women. "They have taken a step toward attaining the competence dance that characterize the life of this University. Hitherto, between the timidity of some young women, and the satisfaction with their own group felt by others, the great body of women have never been unified as they should have been. If all the classes were taught so far more, they can be reached more easily, and they will enjoy their college life a great deal more."
Mrs. Brown went on to say that whenever the women were ready to do anything as a body, her suite of rooms in Fraser, known as the Women's Corner, would be at their disposal for various social functions. The good work should not be dropped. As soon as the weather gets too cold for hikes, wienes roasts and picnics may be held.
