LAWRENCE UNDER THE SOCIOLOGISTS' PROBE
Social Survey of City Planned With Aid of Uniwersity
IT INCLUDES ALL ACTIVITIES
Work of Survey, Will Cover Wid Field—Housing, Charity, and Labor Conditions
Eight civic organizations of Lawrence, through the department of sociology at the University are planning a social survey ever made of Lawrence.
Mrs. F. A. Cowper, wife of Profesor corBower, has made addresses be fore several of the women's clubs or the city. Three of them voted to asl the University's department of so elf as direc t a complete survey of Lawrences, which will cover every section of the city and all of its activities.
Pref. F, W. Blackmar said this morning that the department of sociology at the University, will begin the work only when it is convinced that the citizens of Lawrence want the survey made.
The plan as outlined at present will cover every part of the activities of Lawrence. The housing conditions will be investigated first. The number of houses in Lawrence which are unfit for habitat will be learned and the committee will find out if there are houses too small to accommodate properly the number of persons living in them.
The question of public health and the delinquency of children will be imminent.
A plan to establish a permanent system of public charity will be considered. A secretary to handle all the charitable work of the city is a probable recommendation of the investigators.
Labor conditions of women and children will be inspected, the state labor commission assisting the investigation committee in its work. Public recreation will be the biggest subject considered in this survey. Whether a municipal poolhall would be advisable, or whether a recreation center was established will be determined by a careful study of the situation.
Public education will be given a share of the investment's time. The sanitary conditions and teaching methods will be examined by the planning plans to consult the Board of Education. The education will not include the University except as it might incidentally enter into the field of the city's problems.
G. O. FOSTER TO ATTEND REGISTRARS MEETING
The aim of all of this work will be to determine under what conditions the people of Lawrence actually live and then by knowing these, to augur for improvements which will strike at the causes of evil conditions.
registrar George O. Foster will leave tomorrow night for Richmond Va. to attend the fifth annual meet- at the National Association of Intercounty Baseball Registers. The meeting lasts two days, February 26 and 27.
Mr. Foster expects to get some good ideas on good enrolling systems this meeting and to make some suggestions in the event of our own plan when he returns.

HAWK CLUB WON'T PUT ON A SHOW THIS YEAR
It Members Don't Take Any Interest, the Manager
Says
"The Hawk Dramatic Club will not give a play this year," said Clarence R. Sowers, manager of the club, this morning.
"The members of the club do not seem to take any interest in it and they want one man to do all the work, and this takes too much time."
This means that there will be no amateur dramatics at the University this year aside from the Senior and German plays. The Hawk club was the first to introduce the old Masque and the Thespian clubs. The Red Domino died last year.
The University Council refused a charter some time ago to a group of students who wished to stage an allman show and later take it to surrounding towns. The Hawks were granted an exclusive charter.

The Normal team is one of the fastest college teams in the Missouri Valley. "Phog" Allen's Teachers have eliminated all the Missouri conference teams except Drury and the two teams will play for the championship at Springfield, Friday and Saturday. He has trained his men for speed and the visitors probably will keep the Kansans busy tonight.
Tonight's game is the thirteenth for the Jayhawker squad but Hamilton's five does not believe in hoods, and we were against a thirteenth game tonight but I don't believe unlucky," said Captain Lefty Sproull today. "Washington gave us a good scare last week. It was Friday, the thirteenth, and the score was against Washington in the first half but the team rallied and won. If we can win under such odds as that, the fact that this is our thirteenth game, ought not to bother us."
The Freshman-Haskell game purposes to be an interesting contest. Indians have been working in a fierce against the Kansas Varsity and the New York team will throw fresh five is a team of experienced players.

That German play that will be given at the Bowersock Theater tonight has a name several syllables long, and the plot of the play is very simple.
The hero is wealthy, and so is his friend and they are both fond of hunting, even if they do have to buy game from the butcher to make an impression. However, they are also fond of texponding and get caught one day. Naturally they talk the old teacher about a new puppet that he had two beautiful daughters. The two couples immediately become engaged. Curtain.
The plot is very appealing and has a beautiful setting. The cast that monitors shaper tonight has been working faithfully the past few weeks.
