FIVE PANTATORIUMS ARE ALREADY BONDED
Only One Refusal to Guarantee Reliability Up-to-Date
BOND THE STUDENTS TOO!
Council Committee Learns Tha Firms Give Credit Too Freely— Many Worthless Bills
With but one exception the pantatoriums visited by the student council committee have willingly agreed to furnish bond to the council. The majority of the pantatoriums are furnishing bond for $500, and most student business is comparatively small are not giving as heavy a bond.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 12, 1914
The committee has not as yet seen all the owners. Those who have already expressed willingness to furnish bond are: The Lynn Pantatorium, The New York Pantatorium "Bill" Spicer, The Boultinghouse Pantatorium and The Lawrence Pantatorium. S. G. Clarke explain that he sold no season tickets so that a bond would be unnecessary.
The committee reports some interesting side lights on the nature of student credit as a result of their visits to the various establishments. A member of the committee remarked this morning that from the amount of outstanding credit, and the number of unpaid accounts, some students were without doubt in the class of those dealers who have left town with the proceeds of their sale of season tickets.
One owner of a pantatarium, the first of last month started on his monthly collections with bills amounting to $150. He succeeded in collecting one account of $2.70, paid by check. The check when deposited at the bank was returned, penciled "No Funds." Another dealer holds bad student accounts from last year which total $75. He also has a number of unpaid accounts from year before last week, which the agency shows elsewhere. While all the pantatarians did not have as heavy an account against the student body, all hold a large number of worthless bills.

POSTPONE BUILDING A
SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT
No sewage disposal plant will be established, at the University of Kansas yet, as was announced in the city papers last week.
"The work will be undertaken in response to a general need for research into some of the problems that are to be settled in Kansas," said Prof. W. A. Whitaker who has charge of the work. "In a number of cases this fact is probably due to errors in operation and in others it seems to be because of the very hard water of the state. The object of the experiments will be to treat the sewage and must thus make the plants work properly under conditions as they exist in Kansas."
Stag Parties Popular
The work is in charge of the municipal research department of which

ATTEND TANGO TEAS AND BE DISCIPLINED
Faculty Says Students Must Not Learn Fancy Steps at "Receptions"
VIOLATES RULING OF BOARD
So Those Neat Little Invitations in the Mall Saturday Can Not be Safely Accepted
That any University students who may attend the tango receptions advertised to be given in Lawrence this week will go in direct violation of a ruling laid down by the Board of Administration, and will therefore be subject to discipline at the hands of the Department of Music as the member of E. W. Murray, chairman of the Student Interests Committee, this morning.
The following invitation shown to Mr. Murray by a student who had received the same is the basis for Mr. Murray's statement: "Yourself and ladies are invited at an exhibition on Tuesday, January 13, 8:30, Thursday, 15, 8:30, Friday afternoon, January 16, 3:30, Exhibitions and personal instruction in all the latest forms of the Tango and Hestation Waltz will be given in this room." Ecke's Ball Room; admission $1.50."
Mr. Murray quotes the following from the official action of the Board of Administration given on October 15, 2013, addressing respondents tango story as follows:
"Further ordered that the Board approves of the policy of the University Council in exercising strict control of the social conditions at the University and in protecting students to enforce the rules that will guard the good name of the students and the welfare of the University. It further thoroughly disapproves of the Tango and other suggestive dances of like nature and will regard it as a main feature of serious activity on campus standpoint for any group of students or for individuals to seek to introduce or practice them."
“Student attendance at these affairs is absolutely tabooed by this ruling,” says Mr. Murray. “Our attitude will have to suffer the consequences.”
CORN OIL FOR OLIVE OIL
K. U. Professor Finds It's Just as Good in Medicine; He's Trying it Now in Food
That oil made from Kansas corn can be used as a substitute for expensive olive oil and cottonseed oil is the conclusion drawn by Dean L. E. Johnson, City University of Kansas School of Pharmacy following a series of experiments.
"The cheapness of corn oil suggests the possibility of wise economy in substituting it in place of the more expensive oils wherever this can be done . . . 'hout injury to the product in which it may be employed," said Dean Sayre today. "experiments thus far show the value of this substitution in medicinal applications." We are continuing our work to determine its importance in cooking, and to prove that corn oil may be used interchangeably in culinary operations with cottonseed and olive oils."
Corn oil is a byproduct from cereal manufacturing. It is comparatively cheap, being quoted at fifty cents a gallon for the refined grade. Olive oil is quoted at three dollars a gallon and cottonseed oil at seventy five cents. Corn oil has a yellow to brownish odor, a slight ornamental odor, and a pleasant taste, similar to freshly ground corn meal.
"In the assay of the oil," said Dean Sayre, "it was found to have properties very similar to the cottonseed and olive oil and, by comparison, to be much like it in appearance. After testing it by direct substitution in the various medicinal preparations in which the other oils are used and with a relatively low change, would seem to be a good mixture that could make to that corn oil be recognized for certain medicinal preparations. It would also serve as a means of economy, bringing into use this cheap and valuable oil for which there is at present very little or comparatively no market."
Acacia Hold Initiation
