UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 27, 1914
SAYS STUDENTS SHOULD
TAKE UP BQY SCOUT WORK
"The Boy Scout movement should be taken over by the University Y. M. C. A.," said Dean P. F. Walker, Dean of the School of Engineering, and scout master for this district today. "Classes might be organized to teach the boys the rudiments of the organization and students. The Y. M. C. A. would have the natural authority to do this."
Dr. Naiamith is also a scoutmaster, and would be able to give assistance to the work if organized in the University. Dean Walker is now interested in the work at the Congregational church. He says that a boy scout movement should be started in each church of the city.

REID VERSUS SPOTTS
Case of Student Day Speaker Decided for the Plaintiff According to Senior Law Election
In an exciting election held in Green Hall at eleven this morning Roderick V. Reid defeated "Parson" Spotts for the honor of representing the class of students in the class day exercises, by a vote of 59 to 47. Both men are senior laws.
The candidates were announced last week and the politicians had the law school well lined up to support the candidates of the two rival legal fraternities, Phi Alpha Delta and Phi Delta Phi.
Seven proxy votes from members of the Kapp Sigma fraternity which is under quarantine were the cause of much argument. Precedents were cited to show that they should and should not be admitted. Objection was made that the written proxies had not been thoroughly fringed, and should not be entailed, Chu C. O. Buckles announced that the votes would not be counted subject to a ruling on the matter by the Student Council.
SOPHS LEVY ASSESSMENT
FOR CLASS MEMORIAL
Further litigation, however, was prevented by election of the Phi Alpha Delt candidate without the conested votes.
The juniors are not the only class that will leave a class memorial. At the last meeting of the sophomore class an assessment of twenty-five cents per semester or fifty cents for the school year was voted.
"According to Manager Von Schriltz, the sophomore finance committee has sold more annuals than that of any other class, so I'm sure it will get the money when it starts after the assessments. Money is the main thing. It is too soon to decide definitly what the memorial will be, but if we have the money a memorial is certain."
When asked regarding the memorial J. M. Johnson, president of the sophomore class said: "Yes, the class of '16 will leave a memorial. Since the finance committee of the class had decided not to start collecting the assessment until the beginning of the second semester.
The subject for discussion at the next meeting on Feb. 10 will be "Orthogenesis." At the regular meeting one month later, March 10, the question of inheritance or required characteristics will be taken up.
Lewis B. Smith of Ogden, Utah,
has pledged Kappa Sigma.

GREENLEES BREAKS RIB AT MANHATTAN
Basket Guard Injured in Last Game; Bill Weaver Sprains Ankle
The Manhattan basketball trip was not without its misfortunes to the Jayhawk five. On the return of Hamilton's men from Agnies, the team lost in a tightly contested, greenes, guard, had a broken rib and Bill Weaver center a sprained ankle.
These injuries to two of the Jayhawker's star men are particularly unfortunate, coming as they do before one of the most important series of the year. It is extremely doubtful if Greenlee will be in shape to play Friday night, while Weaver's chances are little better.
ANSWERS TO FRATERNITY QUESTIONAIRE COMING IN
The reports on the fraternity questionaire sent out by the department of sociology are coming in rapidly, according to Dean F. W. Blackmar. The answers received so far express the fair and conscientious opinion of the students; a fact with which the department is especially pleased.
The questionaires were sent out to all alumni this week and their answers as well as those of the remaining are expected in soon after mid-week.
If the students will drop their reports in the letter-boxes in the halls the University letter-carrier will deliver them to the department.
Election of officers for the second semester, and probably the selection of new men, will be held by the Daily Kansan Board in the office of the Medic Building Wednesday night,迎接 to announcements made today.
Dean Blackmar urges the holders of the questionnaire to answer as soon as possible so that a complete report may be compiled in the near future.
The offices that will be filled are those of editor-in-chief, managing editor, associate editor, high school editor, and probably exchange editor. Selection will be made from the staff of journalism and other students who have tried out on their own hook.

SHOULD NOT WORRY OVER VACCINATION
Possibility That It Will "Take" During Quiz Week Not
Great
"Those students who have been vaccinated have no need to worry over the fact that it will 'take' during quiz week," said Dr. James Naismith this afternoon. "It will not be serious enough to have any influence on studies. There is a possibility of its making a very few sick but these cases will be given special consideration."
No new cases have been reported to the authorities. Many students are taking advantage of the opportunity to get the free vaccination in January 2013. Dr. Naismith and Dr. Johnson.
"There have been no new cases of smallpox that I know of which have developed in the last few hours," said Dr. William M. Amy, one of our hundred K. U. students have been vaccinated since I began and they seem to keep coming."
MEDICS WANT TWO DEGREES IN SIX YEARS
Petition College to Continue Present,Plan—Decision In February
In February
At a joint meeting of the administrative committees of the Medical School and the College last night the Medical School petitioned the College to establish a board of trustees of both the six and seven year courses. The petition asked:
"That the College unite with the Medical School in giving courses leading to the combined degrees of A.B.M.D., in seven years—the College granting the A.B. degree at the end of four years and the Medical School granting the M.D. degree upon completion of the curriculum."
"That the College unite with the Medical School in giving courses leading to the combined degrees of S.B., M.D. in six years—the College granting the S.B. degree at the end of four years and the Medical School granting the M.D. degree upon completion of the curriculum."
For some time the rumor has been out that hereafter the medical students who took the six years course would receive only the M.D. degree as the College would no longer accept them. There has been some objection to granting the A.B. degree but no definite action on the matter was ever taken by the College.
The matter will be decided at the meeting College faculty on Tuesday, February 18.

CARELESS SENIORS
DELAY JAYHAWKER
Failure to Provide Blanks and Pictures Halts Printing of Annual
The work of the 1914 Jayhawker is delayed by seniors who have not is yet turned in their information blanks or pictures. Editor Russell Clark has received but 200 blanks and only forty pictures are ready for the engravers. These blanks and pictures must be held so that they fail to get their blanks in before February 1, will be fined 50 cents.
"I want to emphasize the necessity of getting the senior pictures and information blanks in this week," said Editor Clark, this morning. "We must have the material before February 1 or the annual delay for February 3, so this time will mean a later date for the publication of the Javhawk."
Editor Clark has also issued a warning to student organizations which have not handed in their pictures.

WOULD CHANGE DIRECTORS OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
Dean F. W. Blackmar Suggests Placing Them in Charge of Board of Edu. Instead of Corrections
"The state industrial schools of Kansas should be placed under the State Board of Educational Institutions instead of under the State Board of Corrections as at present," said Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology at the University of Kansas this morning.
"The Boys' Industrial School at Topeka and the Girls' Industrial School at Beloit are not penal institutions, and should not be treated as such. Girls are allowed to attend to these schools by the courts of the state, they are sent to be educated, rather than punished. Children cannot be sanely punished; they must be educated. The persons sent to these two institutions must be in their 25th years. Age. They are consequently subjects for education and not for punishment.
"I believe that the schools would perform a greater service if they were put under the control of the educational board of the state instead of under the board of correction or other such institution, or different atmosphere around the institutions and would develop more self respecting citizens."
