SMOKING RULE GETS LEGAL EXPLANATION
Definition of "Approach"May Banish Lady Nicotine From the Campus
INCLUDES WALKS ON HILL?
Judicial Interpretation of Terms Indicates Board's Order Would Stop Puffing on Mt. Oread
There has been some discussion as to just where the approach to a building begins in the interpretation of the smoking rule announced by the Board of Administration a short time ago. Dean J. W. Green of the School of Law says that with the request that smoking on the campus be stopped contained in the last part of the building notices, there can no doubt as to the Board's desire in the matter but the exact significance of the term "approach" in reference to buildings has not been judicially determined.
By consulting the records of decisions it is found that the term "approach" has been quite clearly defined with reference to bridges and docks, and it is likely that a similar interpretation would be given with regard to buildings. The judicial understanding of the term "approach" seems to be expressed in the following paragraph taken from "Judicial and Statutory Definitions of Words and Phrases." The term "approach," as used in laws 1885, e. 968, authorizing the city of York to construct a approach from the River and to acquire title to the land necessary for the construction of the bridge and its approach, is applied not only to the physical structure immediately connected with the roadway of the bridge, but to those contiguous and converging streets and avenues, through and over which the public are to gain access to the bridge.
From this instance it would seem that the term "approach" referring to buildings would be held to mean sidewalks on the campus, at least from the point where they lead out easily to some particular building.
FACULTY TO RECEIVE PAY CHECKS EARLIER?
Lawrence Business Men Petition State Auditor to Change University Pay-Day
If a move now being pushed by Lawrence business men is successful, University professors and other employees will receive their pay checks from Topelka the first of the middle instead of the middle of the month.
WOMEN STUDENTS WILL
GET NEW TENNIS COURTS
C. H. Tucker, of the Watkins National Bank, was in Topeka yesterday to talk over the situation with Assistant State Auditor Organ. Mr. Tucker carried with his a petition signed by many of the Lawrence business men that the state had been changed from the middle to the first of the month. "I think it can be satisfactorily arranged," said Mr. Tucker this morning. "The checks were delayed this month because other state institutions got in ahead of the University with their checks to be made out each month for the different institutions over the state."
Faculty Ladies Postpone Tea
The ladies of the faculty announce that the tea which was to have been in March for the young women of the University has been postponed until a later date.
The women students of the University will have five tennis courts this spring, south of Robinson gymnasium. The courts were graded last fall and will be rolled and covered with clay dressing this spring.
Doctor Naismith is superintending the construction of the courts, which will probably be opened next month.
Dr. Crumbine Spoke to Classes
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine lectured to the classes in rural sociology at the school and taught on health and sanitation in Kansas.
FAVORS SPECIAL PREP COURSE FOR THE LAWS
Dean Green Approves Credit Requirement. But Dislikes Present System
STUDENTS SEEK SNAP COURSE
Take Subjects That Will Easily Provide Required Number of Hours "Uncle Jimmy" Says
"I am much in favor of requiring a thirty hour college preparatory course before a student is admitted to the School of Law, but I think that the work should be of such a nature that it would really prepare the student for law," said Dean Green this morning. "While it is true that the thirty hours in the College are required now, the work of a freshman is of such a character that he receives little that will benefit him in the School of Law. Most of the courses which prepare for law are sophomore and junior subjects. Because of this many students who come to the University expecting to enter Law enrol in courses in the College which they will provide an easy way to finish their study. In ink nothing of the benefit to be derived from properly selected courses.
"What I would like to see would be a special preparatory course, of one year for those expecting to enter the law school. They could obtain there courses in Rhetoric, Literature, History, and Sociology. They would enter the School of Law the second year well prepared for the work they would find before them.
"Our present teaching force is inadequate for the successful carrying out of such a plan, so we must get along some other way."
SACHEMS ARE FRIENDS OF WEARY UNIONISTS
Senior Society Gives $50 Arm chair to Union---Cup for Best Kicker
The Sachems, senior honor society, at its regular meeting last night at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, voted $50 to be expended for a chair which will be presented to the Student Union.
The senior society wished to go on record as endorsing heartily the Union plan, and adopted this substantial method of voicing approval. A committee was appointed to select the piece of furniture. It was given power to make the purchase at once.
The society also decided to offer again a fine silver loving cup to the football man who makes the best record in kicking in spring practice. Only men who have not tried out for the Varsity football team here would be awarded the title. The details of the contest were left to the football coach and will be announced in the Daily Kansan within a few days.
A similar offer was made by the Sachems last spring but on account of lack of interest on the part of the team, they are not offered. If not sufficient interest is taken this year the contest will be carried over to the track or baseball squad.
