TRAIN CITY MANAGERS IN STATE UNIVERSITIES
Prof. F. W. Blackmar, of K U., Says Colleges Will Turn Out Future Mayors
That cities will soon be governed by superintendents trained in sociological theory and practice by the great universities of the country is the opening step toward the end of the department of sociology at the University of Kansas.
In an address on sociology at the University yesterday, Professor Blackman declared that the next step after the commission form of city government was government by a municipal manager, responsible to the people through an elected board of governors who would hire him. The board should serve without and devote only a small part of their time to the business of governing the city, after the manner of school boards.
"One of the greatest problems that is before us today is government of cities," said Professor Blackman. "The ancient and cumbersome bicameral system has fallen into disrepute in progressive communities, and as a remedy, the commission form of government is proposed. We need a half-remedy though, and under it, our office largely through by men that gain office largely through their vote-getting capacities, not by their abilities as governing officials.
"So here is where the University steps in. It should train men to govern cities as it now trains men to build bridges, teach high schools, and cure bodily ailments. The time is bound to come when citizen professions will be considered a profession. It is the business of some cities, but it is the business of the professional politician, who in no wise considers himself responsible to the people."
FOOTBALL SQUAD MEETS
WITH CAPTAIN DETWILER
The 1913 football squad was called together by Captain Detwiller at the Phi Delta Theta house last sighting, and they proposed the prospects for next year.
Captain Detwiler will go next week to his home in Smith Center and he told his squad it would be the last time he could meet them until fall. Detwiler cautioned the men against breaking training and urged them to come out for spring practice. About thirty were present.
The Mathematic Club will meet in Room 103. Fraser Monday at 4:30. Miss Bernstorff will speak on "Mystic and Sacred Numbers," and Edwin Woods on "Correct Mathematical Notation."

TODAY WAS COLLEGE DAY--NOW IT IS NOT
Classes are Being Held the Same as Usual in Largest School
TRIED TOO MUCH ON START
The Managers Think a Small Plan Should Be Tried; Add To It Each Year
Today was college day, but there is no celebration except the dance to be given this evening in the gymnasium.
"College day was unsuccessful this year because too big a plan was tried, and not because of luck of unity or manners," Arthur Duction, manager, today.
"We attempted too much for the initial day. It will take four or five years to work up the proper amount of funding for the integration in the School of Liberal Arts.
'One feature well tried, such as a banquet or an extra good dance will do much more in bringing about the desired results than something too large to handle. Start now with the four easy steps; farther, add something new; in this way, and only this way, will the College ever have a day of its own.
"It's absurd to say that the sixteen hundred students in the largest school on the hill cannot be brought together for this purpose. However, it will take time; it cannot be perfected in a single year. There is no doubt but that the Day will be tried again next year."
The event planned for today was called off the first of the week because the percentage of students buying tickets was not large enough to justify a holiday. Enough tickets were sold to insure a successful banquet and dance but it was not thought well ahead the holiday when fifth of the students interested. The athletic events and banquet were given up; and only the dance will be held this evening.

STUBBS GIVES $1,000 FOR CHILD WELFARE
Former Governor and His Wif Offer Prizes For Contest Among Cities
Former Governor and Mrs. W. R. Stubba have offered the department of child welfare in the University of Kansas $1000 to be used in bringing out a contest among the second class cities of Kansas. The money will be given as a cash prize to the city of the class named which by the first of May, 1945 makes the best showing as a place in which to rear children.
There are about seventy cities of the second class in the state. An effort will be made to give each one an equal opportunity with the others to compete for this excellent place. The city winning the prize will receive a lump sum for some such purpose as establishing a playground or a social center for the young people, or instituting a child welfare library. The contestants will be assisted impartially by the department of child welfare for the children being served on five general points: (1) play and athletics; (2) school work and industry; (3) social advantages; (4) moral and physical safe-guards; (5) local child-helping society; (6) religious activity. The department will attempt to gather details in the kind of a contest and later will get out a score sheet suitable for making a uniform record of all the cities involved.

WOMEN'S ADVISOR FAVORS FEW RULES
Mrs. Brown Would Follow Policy Similar to That of Eastern Schools
"There will be very few rules made to govern the young women of the University," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, the new Advisor of Women, this morning. "The policy will be, like that followed at Chicago, Ann Arbor, and Michigan, to educate public opinion and create an honor sentiment so there will be no need of rules."
The organization of a University Woman's League and providing a Cooperative Hospital for the women students will be the first things undertaken by Brown, working in cooperation with the university students of the University.
"I am sure that by next September we will be ready to offer the new students efficient hospital and medical service under this new plan, and have everything ready to organize a Women's League, but this year we can do no more than get assistants out of the situation," said Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown has just returned from a trip to Ann Arbor, Madison, and Chicago where she has been getting acquainted with the work undertaken by the deans at universities of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Chicago. In speaking of her proposed work here Mrs. Brown said:
"Dean Talbot, of the University of Chicago, says the confidence of the young women in their advisor has brought about most desirable results and I am sure the results at the University of Kansas must equal if not surpass them, for we have the best material to work on."
The appreciation of higher education by the young women of Kansas as compared to interest shown by the young women of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan, Mrs. Brown considers remarkable. In the University of Michigan, the proportion of women students is 800 in 5000, at Wisconsin 1300 in 6000, University of Kansas, 900 in 2600.
The University of Michigan has had a dean of women for ten years, under very similar conditions to those at the University. Barbour Gymnasium provides a splendid place of meeting for the women. It has 13 basketball teams and a competitive ball, and is a desirable place for all social gatherings.
The women's association is organized as a Woman's League, incorporated, and maintains a traveling sec- tion of women in the region for the league among alumni and others.
At Madison, Lathrop Hall, built by the generosity of the state, far surpasses the accommodations at Ann Arbor. It was erected at a cost of one fourth million dollars. It has a beautiful drawing room and is connected with the three halls of residence used by the women.
The dean of women at the University of Chicago has held her position for twenty years. She has two assistant private secretary to help her in her work.

The warrant were for the arrest of the students charged with violating an ordinance against bill posting on telephone poles. They were issued Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. Personal service was started at midnight last night. The police claim that the attempted reading of a warrant before three hundred students Wednesday night was personal service to the Council members and they did not start to hunt up the students until after they were fairly certain that otherwise the men would not appear in court.

DEBATERS PREPARE FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE WORK
The debating squad is hard at work preparing for the intercollegiate debates on both of the questions which will be discussed this spring. At the meeting yesterday, several phases of the unicameral legislature question were argued in each with two men on a side. The Monday meeting of the squad was devoted to arriving the immigration question.
Prof. H. T. Hill is still in communication with the University of Missouri debaters regarding the exact date of the meeting held in the latter part of April. In a short time this date can be definitely announced.
John Madden was the first student to be arrested. Three policemen rang the doorbell at 1244 Louisiana about one-thirty o'clock. When the door was opened the officers entered and went to Madden's room, awakening him by flashing an electric flash light in his face. They took him, after a hurried preparation, to the awaiting taxi.
The councilman was taken to the police headquarters where he offered evidence.
"We usually let a man out on bond," one of the policemen said "if he isn't drunk or disorderly; but tonight we have received special orders from the chief of police to lock up all the students we get."
Fifteen minutes after Madden was shut up, the three police mendi-taxi combination appeared with Burke. This Councilman's arrest was similar to the apprehension of Madden. Much the same proceeding at headquarters resulted. Burke were placed on the bars to keep Madden company.
By this time friends of the prisoners had summoned Police Judge Benson from a more or less comfortable sleep. He arrived at headquarters just as the officers came with the third student Chinney. After considerable delay the three men were brought before the judge, who arranged to let them go on cash bond after giving them a short lecture on avoiding "warfare" in the account of bond deferred on the cash the students had with them. Two had come prepared, and they put up $9.85 and $8.00 as a guarantee that they would appear in court tomorrow morning at eight-thirty. The third prisoner left a gold watch as surety.
The officers tried to get at least three other Councilmen during the night, but as soon as the first arrest was made the rumor spread in some areas that students were concerned and they were not at home when the officers came.
Uncle Jimmy Green will be in court tomorrow morning to look after the interests of the accused men.
Students Should Obey Law, Says Chancellor
"In regard to the Student Council situation I would like to see the boys treated fairly and without undue inconvenience or hardship and with a full understanding of the real challenges said Chancellor Strong, this afternoon. "In addition I would like to see the students obey the law carefully and completely on the same footing as any other citizen of the state that carefully ask any privileges that could not be granted to other citizens."
