Several Faculty Members Also Long For Return of The Lost O.P.L.
ONE NEAR- PANIC STARTS
Many Cold Ones Pick up Other Fel low's Trousers—One Gets "Tickless" Alarm Clock
A hundred or more anxious, chilly students are still hopefully awaiting the return of Mr. O, P. Leonard, who disappeared some time ago from his cut-rate cleaning and pressing establishment over 841 Mass. St.
Many became discouraged Saturday and went down to the shop to pick up whatever odd and ends still remained intact. One of Mr. Leonard's employees, who is trying to straighten out affairs and find the owners of the clothing still in the shops, describes in graphic words some of the pathetic scenes which took place when the angry mob learned the truth. Some almost cried. Others used unparliamentary language. Some took it as a joke. One fellow, when he learned that he was "stung" again, seized an alarm clock and "beat it" out of the door.
Many Harps on the Wiliows
It is a "touching" story. Even professors are among those who mourn Mr. Leonard's fracture. The freshmen engineer are fortunate in their already manufactured their flat irons in shop work, and this emergency will give them a chance to use them.

NEW COMMISSION TO ASSIST BOARD
Heads of Chief State Schools WI Help Eliminate Duplication And Arrange Credits
FRANK STRONG.
The heads of the five chief educational institutions of the state, together with Secretary D. M. Bowen have been appointed to a commission to assist the Board of Educational Administration in eliminating duplication, according to the Topeka Capital this morning.
The statement from the Capital follows: D. M. Bowen, secretary of the board of administration, is named chairman of the new commission; W. H. Johnson, state high school inspector, is secretary; B. E. Pike and are Frank B. Strong, chancellor of the state University; Henry J. Waters, president of the State Agricultural college; Thomas W. Butcher, president of the State Normal at Emporia; A. Bradenburg, head of normal; N. Norman, head of hospital at Pittsburgh; and W. A. Lewis, principal of the Hays Normal.
"It should be the duty of this commission to assist the board in the elimination of unnecessary duplications, examine and report to the board of administration some plan which will correlate the various schools under its control and make it possible for students to go from one school to another without serious embarrassment or loss of time," according to the official announcement of the duties of the new commission.
There is some uncertainty as to what "unnecessary duplication" is. Various reports have been sent out from time to time as to the intentions of the new board of administration in dealing with the duplication of courses at the different state institutions where they move was contemplated that would take some of the professional engineering courses away from the State
Another important function of the commission will be to arrange a system of high school credits for entrance to the state schools, the credits to be allowed by the board instead of by the state University. It will also allow the public to be admitted to the school officials in organizing or increasing the efficiency of the grade schools, high schools, or state institutions of higher learning.

wunie the over-night demise of another Lawrence panorium proprietor again leaves a large number of students thinking ugly thoughts, and affords more merriment for the Kansans headline writers, the matter is not by any means a funny one.

Elsie Potwin Visits
Jerome Beatty a former student of the University of Kansas has a story in this week's issue of Collier's Magazine entitled "Kitchen." The scene of the story is at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in New Orleans.
Former Student Gets in Colliers
Agricultural college. Ed. T. Hackey, chairman of the board, denied recently that any such action had been taken by the board.
It looks reasonable that the merchants of Lawrence, either through their Merchants' Association or through the county jail, would protect trusting students from fraud of this kind. It is too much humly to ask that steps be taken to apprehend the missing proprietors, and steps taken to prevent further disappearances of like nature so fatal to student pocketbooks?
MITCHELL CO. STUDENTS TO HOLD WATCH PARTY
Why not a bond for the proprietor of any enterprise that collects large amounts of student money ahead of time?

KANSANS HATE TO PAY
FOR PRISON, HE SAYS
"When it comes to asking the individual Kansan to put his hands in his pockets and dip up for a new prison under which it will be possible for the reform system to be worked out, he not only pauses but stops," declares Prof. F. W. Blackman.
"As a member of two commissions to investigate and report upon conditions at Lansing I know this only too well. The remedy for nearly every bad condition there requires money. The only way, for instance, to make the present antiquated prison fit modern conditions is to tear it down and build a new one. Aside from that, everything there is all right." Professor Blackman will make an inspecting trip to Lansing this week

OBJECT TO IMMEDIATE ADOPTION OF SYSTEM
Heads of Various Associations Would Not Act at Once
TO SOUND STUDENT OPINION
Christian Association and Councils Will Learn if Undergraduates Favor Honor Code at Kansas
Opinions against the immediate adoption of the honor system for the University were expressed today by heads of student activities.
Moreover there is a question whether or not the majority of the Y. M. C. A. are in favor of the adoption of the system at the present time.
In the meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
Sunday, the resolution endorsing the "formulation and advancement of the Honor Sentiment and the ultimate establishment of an Honor System," was passed when approximately 175 persons were present by motion; the immediate establishment of the honor system was carried after many of those who were present had left.
Would Wait Before Acting
Wound Warning of the various student organizations are practically alligned to the adoption of such a system at the present time, but are however all in favor of the sounding of student opinion on the matter and the ultimate adoption of the system if conditions are favorable.
The following opinions were expressed; Leslie Dodd, president Men's Student Council: "The immediate establishment of the honor system in the University of Michigan is important and work it the present time is timed. A sentiment for this must be aroused first. A committee, composed of two members from each student government association, the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. is investigating the feasibility of such a change and creating as such a belief a sentence in itself. Until its work is completed, until it has completely understood the student opinion on the matter, I think that steps for such a change are unnecessary."
Favors System in Time
Conrad Hoffman, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.: "The response passed in Sunday's meeting, and the affect 'we approve the formulation and advancement of an Honor Sentiment, and the ultimate formation of an Honor System' is to my mind an expression of the opinion of the majority of the Y. M. C. A. on this matter. The late motion calling for the immediate adoption of a honor system was carried out the close meeting when more than half of those attending had left. I believe that a strong sentiment for the system must be created before the system is enforced."
W. S. G. A. Has Not Acted Maude Lourey, the president of the Women's Student Government Association: "The W. S. G. A. has not taken any action on her behalf; neither belief in believing majority are not in favor of the adoption of the system until an expression of the student sentiment is known."
Florence Fugua, president of the W. Y. C. A.: "The W. Y. C. A. was against immediate action at the last meeting. Cooperation of the faculty and the student body is necessary for the correct system, and until the sentiment of the school is known I would not be in favor of immediate action."
PROFESSORS WILL GIVE
