GRAY CHAPEL WALLS ECHO WITH YELLFEST
Schools Try to Outnoise Each Other in Students' Day Exercises
MALCOLMSON BALANCE WHEEL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MARCH 3, 1914.
Vice-president of Student Council Acts as Time-keeper, Starter, and Referee
An atmosphere of rivalry pervaded the students' day exercises in chapel this morning. Most intense, perhaps, was that atmosphere in the classroom, a collegial, when engineers, laws, and colleges sought to outshine each other.
Jack Malcolmson, representing the Men's Student Council in the absence of the president, acted as official starter, time-keeper and referee in the talk-contest. By the unanimous decision of the judges comedy honors go to Levinson for the Medics, rhetorical studies, drama and gradiator's honors to McAllister for the School of Education.
In the introductory speech Malcolmson told of the constructive work of the Student Council, mentioning the Student Union, the bonding of pantatoriums, the taking charge of student dances, and the enforcement of rules against smoking on the campus.
On behalf of the Women's Student Government Association, Maudie Lourey sketched the work of that organization, including a book exchange and other efforts.
J. Christy Wilson, in his talk for the College, paid his respects to the Board of Administration, the tango, in which let joy be unrefined; 'propose himself to all men, the lack of traditions, and the annual exodus of instructors. The greater part of his efforts, however, was directed toward the establishment of a mill tax for the support of the educational institutions of Kan-
towards furnishing funds for the scholarships for deserving freshman girls. She asked the girls of the University to take more interest in their governing body and to support the scholarships, which will be given at the Kirmes in May.
The School of Engineering was represented by G. R. Murphy, who made a straightforward talk unmellibled by any attempt at spellbinding. He compared the engineers out seen by few because too far west.
Rodney Reid of the School of Law said the students in that department had no criticism to offer to the faculty. Applause interrupt this statement, and Rodney will be present in all the world than Uncle Jimmy Green and no harder worker in the state of Kansas than Doctor Burdick. He suggested a change in curriculum to include more men preparing for law to enroll in helpful courses of practical benefit.
In a talk sprouting with witicisms Y. N. Levinson scored for the Medics. He urged students generally to come over to their quarters in the Museum, where are found other rare specimens than Medics.
G. G. Hall was pressed into service at the eleventh hour to represent the School of Pharmacy, and did so by reading a rather technical manual on pharmacology, an instrument in which the word "pharmecureal" plued an important part.
"Our faculty," he confidenced, "consists of five or six doctors and professors and twenty-five stiffs, and we work on them all without prejudice."
The speech of A. J. McAllister for the School of Education has been widely cited and is considered oral. As used here the word has a deeper significance than that given

Social Status
bends upon the character of the soil in which that person was raised, conf of Prof. W. H. Tweenofel, of the department of geology. "Wherever we find good soil we find law abiding, peace-loving, religious houses, good school buildings and many churches. On land of poor grade we find, in place of well-dressed children, manly dogs. There are dingy huts, poor school equipment, and an absence of churches. The men are anxious to harm the neighborhood against whom they have some mates."
"The main reason for the progress slaves of Kansas is due to the fertility."

DORMS FOR KANSAS IN NEXT TWO YEARS
Women's Organizations of Kansas are Taking up Burden to Raise Funds
ONE COMMITTEE HAS $9,000.00
This Fund is Expressly for a Girls Dormitory at K. U.-Started Two Years Ago
Dormitories will become a part of the University of Kansas within the next two years. Chancellor Strong is strongly in favor of dormitories, a fund is being raised for the building of a girl's dormitory and the women's organizations of Kansas have taken up the burden of obtaining dormitories for all of the state institutions.
Chancellor Strong has made several speeches in the last two years in his role.
"Dormitories are the only means of getting the ideal community life in the school," said Dr. Strong. "They will also set a standard of living and a standard of price for accommodations. Social regulations can more easily be enforced and discipline maintained."
Alberta L. Corbin, of the German department, is the chairman of a committee organized two years ago to raise a fund for a girls' dormitory. The committee now has about $8000 and could raise $10,000 if necessary.
The latest development of the dormitory question is its advocacy by the women's organizations. A committee was formed last year of the presidents of all state-wide organizations to work for suffrage. The committee turned their attention to providing dormitories for the state institutions.
The advocates of dormitories are expecting a great deal from this committee as they are backed by the entire body of the various organizations. The W. C. T. U. in Kansas alone reaches 10,000 people while the Good Citizenship League, the Relief Corps, and half a dozen other large societies bring the number up to enormous proportions.

Some Reasons Why There Isn't Much K. U. Loyalty
THE FACILITY TAKE MORE
DELIGHT IN CHASING YOU OFF
STUDENT ACTIVITIES THAN IN TEACHING
YOU'D SOMETHING SO YOU CAN KEEP ELIGIBLE
COLLEGE WILL NOT HAVE ITS "BIG DAY"
At Noon Number of Tickets Were Far Short of Six Hundred
ONLY DANCE WILL BE GIVEN
Celebration Limited to Evening Part;
Orchestra Will Furnish Music:
To Refund Money
There will be no holiday Friday for the School of Liberal Arts.
A College dance will be given Friday evening, but there will be no athletic events in the morning, no banquet, no vacation.
By noon today the number of tickets sold was far short of the necessary six hundred and the celebration was called off.
"Money paid for banquet tickets will be refunded," said Arthur W. Duston, manager, this morning. "If anyone wishes the amount paid for the dance this will also be refunded. Of the舞 as done in now planned is 50c.
"All members of the ticket committees worked hard to sell the required number, but the response was not sufficient to warrant a holiday or the banquet. The College Students have not been loyal to their insistent demand for a "Day" similar to the celebrations of other schools," the efficient tickets have been said to insure a good time at the dance. The舞会 will be the same as originally planned, except that it is postponed until the evening. Dance tickets as bought for the "College Day" will admit.
