PLEADS FOR BETTER SOCIAL LIFE AT K.U.
Mrs. Eustace Brown, in Chap el Address, Asks for More Student Mixing
WANTS A JOINT COUNCIL
Advisor Urges a Common Organizaton for Welfare of University Men and Women
More organization and a fuller and broader social life for all K. U. was the plea made by Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women this morning in a chapel address on. "A Family Affair."
Mrs. Brown said that the Board of Administration urged a more general social life for the University and recommended that general functions be planned so that the upper floor of the Gymnasium could be used for dancing and the lower floor for other social life.
K. U. Needs Single Council "The University needs regulations to govern students, but we haven't sufficient organization," she said. "What we need is a common student council, a common meeting place for both men and women where they can get together on common interests.
"The constitution of the Men's Student Council empowers them to do anything for the welfare of the students but aside from a few members, he has a bushman and like masters they have not utilized that power at all."
"I expect and hope to be college mother to 800 young women, naturally I expect to be mother-in-law to a few of the young men.
"There are 1509 young men and 826 young women in this University. I want the girls to be sisters to 1508 of the 1509 in their daily attitude and the boys to be a big brother to 825 of the girls. This sisterly attitude, will show the boys where they can improve. The big brother feeling means protection to the girls. I would also recommend to the girls that they cultivate the sisterly feeling toward their own sex."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 27. 1014
She Is Official Mother For All K. U. Students
To be a mother by proxy to every student of the University, men as well as women, is the ambition of Mrs. Euastace Brown, the newly appointed advisor of women at the University. Mrs. Brown says that she does not feel as though she should confine her advisory attentions to women when there are 1200 men away from their home at K. U. "The men of the University have problems that require母ly advice and guidance as the young woman," said Mrs. Brown today. "I want them to be free to result me whenever they desire to do. I know that boys, especially freshmen, are very independent when away from home, but they need feel no reticence in coming to me for counsel."
New offices for the advisor of women are being finished in Fraser Hall, under direction of Mrs. R. P. Murdock, of Wichita. A "housewarming" for the girls of the University will be held there when the furnishing is complete. In the meantime, Mrs. Brown will continue to be advocate general for the women.
"Many of the women on the hill are timid about insisting on their rights," explained the adviser, "and they feel as though they needed someone to speak for them. I am always ready to help them." The organization of social events so as to help the girls get better acquainted.
"And in regard to the University rules, which I am glad to say seldom need enforcing. I will attempt to work up an esprit common with body that will do away with any necessity of ownership or surveillance."

TO MAKE PULMOTOR MORE ACCESSIBLE
Marshall Briggs Will Place Instrument Under East Steps of Gymnasium
University Marshal M. E. Briggs, who looks after the machine, has made arrangements to have the little room under the steps provided with a case for the machine. The case will be made with a glass door similar to a fire alarm box and as the room will always be open the pulmotor can be very easily obtained.
The University pulmortor is to be placed where it can be easily obtained in times of accidents. Ever since the University purchased the instrument it has been locked in the Registrar's office and brought out to place it under the cast steps of the gymnasium where it will be easily accessible.
Marshal Briggs has also posted bulletins of instruction for using the pulmator in both engineering buildings, in the chemistry building, and in Snow and Fraser Hall. The act instructions on its use and two public lectures will be given some time this spring.

WILL HAVE DEAN OF MEN, TOO-HACKNEY
President Board of Admini tration Announces this Addition to University Soon
STATE PROBLEMS SOLVED
Says University Is In a Position to Expect Larger Appropriations In the Future
(Continued on page 4)
"The University of Kansas has put in a dean of women and will at no distant date put in a dean of men, that the men and women who go through the institution may have the advantage of social training in the proper sense."
Mr. Hackney believes that a man who goes out with his degree should not only know facts but should be able to express these facts in his life and bearing, and that this training and expression that he receives at the University should be an example to the people among whom he works.
So declares Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration under the title "An Inventory" in a number of the Graduate Magazine.
"The University is not receding from anything that would give it a standing as a University of research and investigation. It is offering special inducements to its faculty and students to do special research work. The University realizes that it would be impossible to properly do its work if its faculty and students need to be investigators or research workers, to promptly to make research work correlate with the problems that confront the people of Kansas rather than with hypothetical or traditional problems.
Endorses Research Work
"The University believes that it is not doing its full duty whenit simply offers a four years course to those who have completed a high school and are able to drop their studies in order to work within its walls, and with that in view it is offering courses for merchants, doctors, lawyers, editors, teachers, preachers, and mothers, which correspond with the short courses offered by the turret at the university or other technical schools for those who can spare little time on Mt. Oread.
K. U. Aids Many
"It will surprise many of the old students to realize that during the year from July 1, 1913, more than 70,000 citizens of the state will receive direct aid from the University through its lectures and outside activities; by the reason of their activities of the state, as the inspec tion weights and measures, honest weight and honest measure is guaranteed to every citizen of the state; that every article of food that goes upon the table of the citizens of Kansas is made better, purer, and cheaper by reason of the fact that the University is constantly analyzing these foods and giving them a standard; that the quality of the meals is plainly informed as to their contents and all dangerous ingredients barred by our drug analysis department.
"The University saves many thousands of persons from typhoid fever and other epidemics because the cities and towns of Kansas send their water to the University for analysis; the state is saved many thousands of dollars by the University's inspection of fruit trees; valuable service is rendered in the destruction of noxious insects through the entomological department; the university's activity are solving the water and the electrical engineers, the light problems of Kansas towns and cities.
Helps Wipe Out Typhoid
"The University has just organized an association of clay workers that will meet at the University one week during every year and the members of which will constantly refer to the University for help in the solution of their problems. It has like organizations for the engineers printers, merchants, doctors, and lawyers of the state.
"During this fiscal year more than 5,000 citizens of Kansas will receive medical aid and advice from the University hospital; $10,000 to the citizens of Kansas by giving free Pastor's treatment for hydrophobia.
"Through the University's child welfare department this problem will be as thoroughly studied as the national college studies the stock problem.
"The last legislature gave us an increase of appropriation, including
LOOKS LIKE VICTORY FOR KANSAS TONIGHT
Prospects Bright for Jayhawkers in Convention Hall Meet With Tigers
SEVENTEEN MEN ENTERED
Nearly Score of K. U. Athletes t
Contest—Relay, as Usual, Count-
ed Kansas Point Winner
The Jayhawker-Tiger track meet, in Convention Hall tonight, promises to be one of the tightest staged in the big arena for some time. A closer meet than the one staged last spring between the same teams is difficult to imagine, but the battle this year will be similar.
Kansas looks sure to win. Though the Tigers have won more indoor contests than the dayhawks, and were all supreme until last spring, Mosses men feel confident of cleaning up.
The athletes who will represent Kansas in the big meet are Dan Hazen, George O'Neill, Kirk Hilton, Art Perry, Gene Davis, Volney Cliney, Ray Edwards, Arch Grady, Jack Malcolmson, Creighton, McKay, Fiske, Bonny Rebe, Ross Keeling, Ellswick, Henderson, and Campbell.
Hilton and O'Neil will be the Kansas runners in the 50-yard dash. Between the two race is always a toss up; what Missouri will show to combat them is a puzzle. The Tigers had no spinner in the first, but no one knows what Coach Breever may be hiding up his sleeves. From this angle, however, this race looks like 8 points sure for the Kansas team.
Perry and Hazen.
Captain Hazen and Art Perry who nippe in the 55-yard high hurdle. They have few peers in the entire valley, and Missouri right at present has no men who can come up with them.
Perry and Hazen Look Good
The 55-yard low is not such a walkaway for the Jayhawk troupe. Hazen and Perry will again represent the Crimson and the Blue, but in Herb Thatcher and Guy Kirksey, Missouri has two powerful men who will make the Kansas runners go the limit to take either place.
the half should prove a Kansas victory. Fiske is one of the cleverest runners in that distance in this part of the country, and he narrowly missed mate he should make the going hot for the Tiger middle distance man. Hutsel, Tiger 880 man, has improved greatly in his work, and may give Fiske a close run for first place. If the two teams are be upset and a sure Kansas victory would wobble into the Missouri column.
Edwards Should Win Mile
In the mile Edwards and Grady will represent the Jayhawkers. The first is a seasoned runner, experienced by two years of competition against the Valley runners, the latter is a first year man who has shown promise of promise. The star and the "comer" should take 5 points for Kansas.
The two mile finds Malcolmson and Deewail or Edwards, the two Kansas runners. Malcolmson will be well remembered for his game victory over Wickham, the Tiger runner last April in New York, who would avoid a face from the grasp of the weaver of the Gold and Black, winning the meet for Kansas.
The high jump should belong to Kansas, with Captain Dan Hazen averaging 16.5 yards on every kick. The Tigers miss帕·Nicholson, and his wonderful sums.
The pole vault will probably go to the Tigers, first, and possibly both places. Campbell is the only entry, and while he is a hard worker and a future star, but lacks experience. If the new man gets second place he will amply coach Mosse and Manager Hamilton.
Missouri May Take Shot
(Continued on page 4)
The shot, put will be one of the fiercest fought divisions of the meet. Three of the clearest weight men in the Valley will grapple for supremacy. Captain Herb Thatcher, the Missouri star, is hoped to come out Victorious behind the Tiger football player, should make the race interesting for second place. Maybe Reber will head Thatcher out and take first place on his own account. The Jayhawker supporters would go wild if he should, but Manager Hank Wilson should graduate to show so much his first season out. Ross Keeling, the second Kansas man, is a hurler, ellipse*
LAWS, TOO, WANT CAPS WORN
"Uncle Jimmy's Boys" in Meeting Agree With Medics on Millinery Question

Few among the large crowd spoke up for the yearlings. The various lawyers would do their share toward encouraging the resumption of the lids.

More than forty freshmen reported for a workout today. Coach Bond has several promising battery candidates and a good bouncy field aspirants while the field is crowded with flyachers.
FRATERNITIES TO HOLD
A SPRING TRACK MEET

EIGHTEEN BOARDING CLUBS FORM LEAGUE
Thirty-Five Men Gather at Student Union And Discuss Plans
TO MEET AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Final Arrangements Will be Adopted Next Week—Commission to Work Out Tentative Scheme
Thirty-five men, representing 16 teams, met at the Student Union last night, and took preliminary steps in organizing a Hash House League.
A commission of five, William Barnes, from the K. K.'s, F. E. Whiten from the Ellis Club, S. M. Haag, Stevenson Club, Joseph Berwick from the Babb House, and John Gleaser, chairman, from the Daily Kansan, was elected to draw up a tentative set of eligibility rules and by-laws, to be submitted to a general vote of teams at a meeting in the Student Union Thursday night. This commission will also prepare a tentative schedule, subject to revision at the meeting next week.
Must Pick Teams at Once
A motion was passed that any team desiring to enter the league must have a list of players published in the Daily Kansan not later than Thursday evening, this list to be subject to change. After Thursday it will be impossible for any more teams to enter, since the final schedule will be adopted at the meeting next week.
The assembly passed a motion to have members of the commission confer with Manager Hamilton regarding grounds, and also adopt the following resolution: In view of the fact that the primary goal is to develop Varsity material, and stimulate an interest in athletics, we respectfully request the Athletic Association to donate two new balls for each game.
To Play After Easter
The league will play its first games immediately after the Easter holidays, if the ideas expressed by the players at their meeting can be carried into effect.
The men at the meeting last night seemed to favor at least two divisions for the league, possibly more: the one to be composed of clubs sufficiently large to play only their own men, and the ones who must go outside for players. They were right that they wished to play outside men, and ten that they did not. Several of the smaller teams are planning to merge.
Discuss Eligibility Rules
Eligibility rules came up for discussion last night, but nothing definite was decided. The consensus of opinion seemed to favor making up a roster of each team's players at the beginning of the season, this list being inimical to prevent teams from going outside for players after the season opens. The matter will be finally threshed out next week.
Manager W. O. Hamilton is heartily in favor of the league, as is Coach McCarty. Two cups have offered, one by Manager Hamilton, the other by Allie Carroll. The commission will endeavor to get other cups offered from merchants who have a large trade student.
The teams represented at last night's meeting were: Gillespie, Stevenson, Daniels, Martin, Nutting, K. K, Babb House, Ellis, Mid-way, Kop Ingraham, Lennard, Kushner of Hope, Woods, Custard. Co-op and 1221 Tenn, although they are entered, were not represented last night.
Two More Enter
The personnel of two teams that entered last night is printed below. Teams that have to be returned are printed above. Daily Kansan are urged to do so as soon as possible.
Hope Club, 941 Ala.: Scott Boyington (treasurer), Milnett, McKenney, Hunsucker, Holsen, Parker, Brown, Kincaid, Rush, Gray, Pattison, Buster Brown, Bost (manager).
