FEAR FOR FRIENDS IN FLOODED DISTRICTS
Four Faculty Members of the University Unable to Get News From East
DUNLAP'S HOME ON HILL
Dayton Residence of English Professor Stands on High Ground— Others Worry
Four members of the University faculty and assistant registrar Jessie Machir are anxiously awaiting news from relatives in the flood stricken district in Ohio and Indiana. Those professors who have relatives there are: C. G. Dunlap, H. A. Rice, R. P. Rose, and G. W. Stratton.
"I have not heard from my relatives who live in Athens, Ohio," said Mr. Rose this afternoon, "but I feel that they must not be in any immediate danger since they reside in a high part of the city. The flood there is a pretty regular affair."
Prof. Dumlap's home is near Dayton but he anticipates no direct harm to his place because it is on high ground. His place is cut off from communication, however, telephone and electric light wires being down. He also violates law in Cincinnati but is not worrying about their safety.
"I am very uneasy about my relatives in Dayton and have made fruitless attempts to communicate with them by wire," declared Miss Machir. "They live in the flooded portion of the city."
The floods in Ohio are causing Miss Nellie Kline, a student in the School of Fine Arts, much uneasiness. Miss Kline's home is in Lawrence but in both Dayton and Miamiburg, Ohio she has a number of relatives from whom nothing has been heard since before the rise of the water.
"Indeed, I am very worried, as are my parents," said Miss Kline this morning. "We have heard nothing from either place and we have several relatives in each city. The floods are particularly bad at Dayton and the lack of satisfactory news has alarmed us to a considerable extent. My father intends to make a trip there in case we do not receive good news soon."

CLUBS WILL COMBINI
Women's Civic and Debating Leagues to Merge—No Restraint of Trade
A plan for merging the Women' Civic League and the Women's Debating Club, which has been agitated for several weeks, has been enthusiastically endorsed by the former society and will be acted upon by the latter at an early meeting.
"The members of the Civic League are anxious to combine with the Debating Club," said Miss Helen Rose, secretary of the league today.
Since the Debating League was formed for the purpose of discussing civic questions in which women are interested, a union of the two societies would prove beneficial to both, declare the members.
"We think the two societies should work together."

LUMBER YARD'S BOOKS DISCLOSE DRASTIC PLOT
But What if Freshies Buck the April 1
"One doz. 2-by-scantlings 18 feet long—$2.00."
Our lumber yard reporter discovered the above item on the books of a prominent Lawrence lumber company last night. At first thought it pointed to nothing but upon reflection its importance began to appear,
Next Tuesday is April 1, and up on that date so it is decreed, freshmen shall don the little blue headgear.
What those 2-by-scantlings are for is no longer a secret. If sawed up into lengths three feet long the result would be 72 of the huskiest freshman paddles ever constructed.
The fireworks starts after chapel on the date named. Standing room will be provided at the tables in the hall. The children, whom that fail to wear their caps.
It is reported that the freshmen are thinking of organizing to "clean up" on the sophomores when the paddles appear since in numbers the freshies equal any other two classes in the University.

Send the Daily Kansan Home.
Manager to Present Silver Trophy to Winners of Inter-Club League
ANNOUNCE SCHEDULE SOON
Coach Frank Expects Twenty Teams to Enter New Group—Enthusiastic Over Prospects.
A silver loving cup to be given by Manager Hamilton to the winners of the Inter-Club baseball league is the latest move in University baseball.
The cup will remain in the possession of the successful club one year until new winners arrive.
The schedules of games will be announced next week. The committee on rules and regulations, Dunn, recommends, expect to report in a few days.
Suitable grounds for the league have not yet been decided upon, but will probably be the present sod diamond south of McCook or a new diamond contemplated. Umpires will be named next week.
All balls, bats, gloves and other apparatus must be furnished by the teams themselves in elimination match games, but the Athletic Association will furnish balls for championship contests.
"Things certainly look good at the rate the league is coming," said Coach Frank today. "With twenty teams, which is not too much to expect from the Inter-Club league, a high-three inter-class baseball, and the Varsity, over 300 University men should get to play basketball this spring."

Would Result in Prompt and Efficient Service, Says Trigg
"TOO MANY LEGISLATORS"
Lawnmakers Only Get in Each Other's Way, Says K. C. Star Man in Chapel Today.
Commission government of the state, similar to that now used by several hundred cities, was advocated by Fred C. Triggs of the Kansas City "Star" in chapel this morning. Speaking on the subject, "Government of the State by Commission," Triggs said:
"The need of a modern, efficient form of legislation is very well illustrated by the last legislature of Kansas. The trouble was not that the legislature was composed of disfair men; the trouble was that that the party represented nobody but the political party to which it was obligated.
"Laws were passed about every subject under the sun except the ones the people wanted. The legislature does not represent the voters of the state, and there is no way by which control it to get what the people want."
"The commission form of government would put one man at the head of each department of the government and make him entirely responsible for that department. It might take up of eight men who would be in session before the year, instead of for only a few weeks every two years.
"They could each be paid a salary of $6,000 per year, which would attract men of ability into the service of the people of the state. The number of men would conform to the number of state departments and the one man at the head of each would thoroughly know the needs of that department and be accountable to the voters for the work done there.
"We do not need more than possibly eight or ten laws a year, but we are getting about five hundred new laws every two years. The people are entitled to such prompt and efficient service as they would get from a commission government of the state."

Don't Print All The News.
Trigg Tells Journalists
"I hold that the newspaper should not print all the news, because a lot of the news does not benefit the public," Fred Trigg, one of the Kansas City Star editors, told the students in the department of journalism after chapel this morning.
"A newspaper has no business to print news which would injure the community in any way. It has no business coming into the home carrying stories that might endanger morals.
"In the advertising, too, there should be just as fine discrimination. A paper that prints advertisements of saloons, for instance is almost as degrading as the saloons that it advertises. If it exploits in its efforts to win over customers, other shady plan of deluding and robbing the public, the newspaper stands in the same class as the disreputable promoter."
The Black Helmet hold initiation for Lewis Northrup at the Phi Delta Theta house last night.
