Skull and K to Offer Suggestions at Next Council Meeting
PRESENT PLAN UNEQUITABLE
Society Aims to Remedy Conditions by Providing for Gradual Growth of Jayhawker
Next year's Jayhawker will be issued under a much different arrangement than past annuals if plans formulated by Skull and K are adopted by the Men's Student Council. The council at its meeting last night accepted the senior society's offer to receive from the council and explain its suggestions from Skull and K will wait upon the council at its next meeting.
Widespread criticism of the present plan of issuing the Jayhawker has resulted from the difficulties arising this year and last. It is claimed by those in touch with the work getting out the annual that present arrangement is unfair both to the annual staff and the senior class.
To remedy this condition, members of Skull and K say, it will be necessary to change the plan of raising the annual budget so that a definite income shall be assured the business manager from the beginning. The society has formulated a scheme aiming at this result, which will be presented to the council and passed it.
Some of the minor details of the plan have not been worked out, it was said this morning, and the suggestions will not be made public until they have been put in their final form.
To the Men's Student Council.
The following is the petition granted by the council last night:
Dear Sirs—We, the Senior Society of Skull and K, believing that some changes should be made in the presentent management of the senior annual, ask the members of the Men's Student Council that we be permitted to send a committee from our society to wait upon the council and give such plans as we have formulated.
Skull and K.
Hugh Adair, Sec.
Having only in view the best interests of the, senior class we hope that our request is granted and that we given an audience as soon as possible.
AESTHETHIC TRAINING FOR ALL THE STATE
University Will Send Art Collection to Many Cities This Spring
"To be the first university to minister to the aesthetic needs of its state as it ministers to its material wants, is the honor to which the University of Kansas is entitled," said Richard R. Price, Director of the Extension Department, this morning.
"Other Universities have followed the example of Kansas in such work as Drug Analysis, Water Analysis, and other items of state service work, but Kansas is the first to supply to the people of the state the aesthetic training which the students on the campus receive.
"This appeal to the spiritual and artistic is made through the art collection which the University has secured for exhibition in cities of the state. The collection is made up of original paintings from the work of contemporary American artists, many of them famous already, and is valued at over $50,000. It is of the same high grade as that being shown by the School of Fine Arts here now, though not so large.

Jayhawker Election Quieres in Years—Only 55 Per Cent Voted
In a very quiet and uneventful election, Alfred Waddel and Richard Gardner were yesterday chosen as the manager for the 1941 Jayhawker.
Little interest in the election was shown, and but 55 per cent of the total vote of the class was cast. For editor, Waddel received 119 votes. For Gardner, Flint; for manager, Gardner had 125 votes to Edmund Bechtold's 76.
These men will work with the staff of the 1913 Jayhawker to become familiar with the details of publishing an annual and to get some practical experience in contending with the troubles to be met.
Waddel has served as reporter on several dailies and should make a thoroughly competent editor. Gardner is at present editor-in-chief of the Kansan, and has had considerable experience in the printing business.

..Marie Russ and Ada Cressman. The play centers around the peculiar character of Justus. A wealthy uncle left Justus his whole fortune considering him the most helpless and the most incapable of all his relatives. Caring little for money Justus gives all the wealth acquired to three nephews. The jealousy of relatives and the scramble for the money together with the contest for the hand of Doris, the rich American heiress, furnish the material for the plot.
Desiring to get rid of Justus, his relatives succeed in getting him within asylum walls. However, he gets out and on account of his generosity and good heartedness wins Doris, the three nephews failing in spite of their newly acquired wealth. The play is directed by Miss Patti Hiatt. Edmond Bechtold is the manager.

SENATE WAYS AND MEANS CUTS K. U. DOWN $668,784
Eliminates all New Buildings Except Rosedale Hospital and Prunes Maintenance Appropriation $155,888
EXTENSION ITEMS DROPPED
No Provision Made For Department and Other State Service Work Halved; Budget Now Up to House Committee
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Topeka, Feb. 19—In event the house ways and means committee in a special session tonight, decides to concur in the recommendations which are said to have come from the senate, Kansas University's budget will be reduced $668,784. Even at that, K. U.'s appropriations, if not reduced by the house committee, will be $1,246,000 for the years 1914-15, or $266,630 more than was appropriated by the 1911 legislature.
No provision is made for the Extension department. Its items of $24860 and $29,750 were cut out.
$12,400 and $7,250 were cut out. That is the first dope on the educator working nearly a month on the K U. budget, the ways and means committee has hit bed rock and stopped. It is now almost certain that within the next few days the recommendations for the school will be reported in both branches of the legislature. Only an attempt on the part of the house to sidetrack some of the items in the K. U. budget can tie the matter up. In event the house committee refuses to accept the appropriation items which they are now considering, a conference of the two committees will be called and the matter fought out in a joint ses-
Gets Quarter Million More.
If the reports from the ways and means committee are correct, Kansas University is to receive more than was appropriated for the institution two years ago. And that in the fact of a Democratic platform pledge for retrenchments, entirely in the hands of a Democratic legislature and a Democratic governor.
Yet on the other hand, the *student body at K. U.* has multiplied, the expense of continuing the work has increased and more money is needed to carry the school through the next year. The only money needed is 13. Even under the 1911 appropriation, the school claimed that it was badly in need of funds.
Maintenance Cut $155,000
Maintence Cut $15,300
A comparison of figures, show that the school was cut $155,878 for maintenance, but that the maintain ance which will probably be recom mended is but $23,370 short of the total appropriation allowed by the legislature two years ago.
It was on the building budget that the University received its greatest jolt. Only one building item is allowed. That is for the new laboratory building and tunnel at Roedale, for which an appropriation of $25,000 may be recommended. The administration and college building, the electrical engineering building, biological laboratory, repair shops, education building, and the $49,000 appropriation for an extension of the college campus; all have received the axe in the committee conferences.
All items in the University budget were cut by the committee. Now they are subject to a second trimming and possibly a third one when another agreement is reached, an event an agreement can be reached this week concerning the various

items in the budgets, they will be reported in time to be made a special order for next week. If there is conflict over the several' items, a joint session will be necessary and it may be held a week before the budget is reported.
