EDITORS ENDORSE K. U. JOURNALISM
State Association Adopts Resolutions Approving Work of Department
WANT AID IN COST SYSTEM
Call on University to Provide Expert to Tour State Helping Publishing Interests.
Editors Endorse Department Resolved, That we the Kansas Editorial Association commend the work of the Department of Journalism at the University of Kansas and the Department of Industrial Journalism at the State Agricultural college, in giving practical training in newspaper shipping students for better service. We believe they should receive every encouragement and be given the means to fulfill their plans for usefulness to Kansas newspaper interest .
We favor the carrying on of the plans of the Department of Journalism at the University of Kansas for placing a cost expert at the service of Kansas publishers who represent Kansas in industry in Kansas, but have received no direct benefit along the lines of service work done by the state institutions.
What Kansan Cubs Learned From The Kansas Editors
Resolved that we request the University to publish the booklet on a simplified cost system for small printing offices, prepared by the Department of Journalism, in order that it may be distributed among the editors and printers of Kansas.
Send the Daily Kansan home
These Had Two Dollars
Among the new members of the Kansas State Editorial Association elected at the annual convention in Topeka were Harlan Thompson, managing editor of the Daily Kansan and Herbert Flint, of the Kansan board.
Resolutions favoring the work of the department of journalism of the University of Kansas, endorsing the plans of the department to place a cost expert at the service of the publishers of the state, and calling on the department to issue at once a pamphlet on the workings of the cost system were adopted yesterday by a unanimous vote by the Kansas State Editorial Association at its annual meeting in Topeka.
H. S. Neal, superintendent of the University printing plant, spoke briefly on the cost system, and told of the work the Department of Journalism was planning along that line for the editors of the state. Following his speech a resolution was passed asking for the publication of a book on the cost system by the University.
The sessions of the editorial association were attended by about two hundred of the leading Kansas editors. The Dally Kansan board was present in a body.
He then pointed out remedies for these conditions and told of the work of the Department of Journalism in attempting to change things. He told of the work of the students in the department in conducting the University Kansan, and what their work should mean to the state.
Charles Session, secretary of state, C. M. Harger of the Abilene Reflector and Charles Scott of the Iola Register discussed Prof. Thorpe's speech and expressed themselves as very favorable to the work of the department. Mr. Session humorously complained that the heads were sometimes hard to understand, but he was a publicity agent for the Santa Fe, in a later speech of defense for the Daily Kansan.
Talks by Prof. Merle Thorpe and H. S. Neal were among the leading features of the last day's session. Prof. Thorpe discussed "Student Journalism." He spoke of the re-creation of his work, editors of the state, and showed that many of them worked excessively long hours for very meagre pay.
"WAYS AND MEANS TO SEE HILL FRIDAY
Investigating Committees From Legislature Will Eat And Visit, Then Walk
The Ways and Means Committees of the state senate and house of representatives will visit the University Friday.
About twenty-eight legislators are on the two committees, but those who will have charge of showing the visitors around are figuring on entertaining at least sixty visitors at the mid-day luncheon which will be served in the basement of Fraser by the home economics department.
In the morning the committees will be shown over the grounds and through the various buildings and in the afternoon they will look over and be shown the need for the budget asked for.
The legislators will see the University at its normal activity and thus gain a true idea of its needs.
OREAD "MAG" APPEARS
Winter Number" by K. U Literati Tricked by Weather Man
The "Winter Number" of the Oread Magazine blossomed forth today into the spring-like atmosphere in a red poster cover with a snow scene picture of the Museum peeping through the cover, and is now on sale in Fraser hall and the Engineering building.
The head-line is "A War-Time Photograph," by William M. Burkholder. Harlan Thompson has a humorous sketch on "Night" that is worth reading. Helo Hoes holds up the more classical end with an essay on "The Beloved R. L. S." Guy VonSchrittz, James Lawrence, Earnest Leisi, and Horace Steele also contribute stories.
Poetry is represented by Elizabeth Hodges, Willard Wattles, Miriam Smith, and Helen Rose. Maloy has a mackinaw cartoon that is "fuzzy" with a few exclamations. Partitions of athletics, editorials, and school notes complete the lineup.
Owing to the resignation of Clarence Falls as business manager the magazine was a little late in appearing. The next number, "Faculty Number," will appear in April.
Foreign Apparatus Cheaper.
"The tariff on laboratory supplies for educational institutions is remitted and consequently we can buy our supplies much cheaper by ordering them from Germany than we can by buying the American-made products," declared Prof. E. F. Stimpson of the physics department this morning.

ISSUES FINAL EDICT ON MASQUE CLUB
"Blue Rose" Comedian Stubs Toe Rehearsing until eleven or twelve clock every night is rather hard work but there are compensations in the way of humorous incidents that serve to lighten the labor. Last night Emile Grignard, in his part as a French Count, attempted to perform the stage business of kicking a servant. Now Emile has been making the kick with as god form as that used by our best Varsity kickers, but last night something interfeed. The something was a raised board in the floor. As a result Emile has a very sore toe
Student Council Recommend Punishment For Cast And Managers
CAIN AND BISHOP SUSPENDED
Week's Lay-off Will Begin February 17—Entire Cast Made Ineligible for Dramatis in Future.
The Men's Student Council decided at its meeting last night that William Cain and Joe Bishop should be suspended from school for a period of one week, such suspension to take effect Monday, February 17, on acctivities related to the production of the Masque club play, "The Boys of Company B."
The council decided that the Masque club did not exercise proper care in the management and direction of their play, that the play was given as a Masque club production since it was so advertised and the contract transferring it to the Younggreen Stock Co., was not made until within a very short time of the actual performance and the transfer was made solely for the purpose of escaping eligibility rules
The Masque club is forbidden to take in any of these ineligible players and it must hold a meeting one month before the giving of any Masque club performance for the purpose of checking up the manager in the matter of eligibility. The club is put on probation for one year to see that the above regulations are carried out.
It was also decided that the ineligible participants in the play, Joe Bishop, Frank Russell, Wayne Fowler, Lawrence Morris, Clifford Lindley, and Olive Graham, be forbidden to engage in any dramas coming under the University council rules of eligibility during the remainder of their college career at the University of Kansas.
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
TO BE COME ART GALLERY
The third floor of the Administration building will be converted into an art gallery beginning Feb. 10 and a rare collection of painting by national and local artists will be displayed. Three rooms will be used in which more than a hundred pictures will be exhibited. Among the collection will be 40 paintings selected from the national Academy of Design of New York, 55 by the well-known artists E. H. Wuerpel, N. A.; and George Barse, N. A. and the remainder by local artists.
"No work by students of the art department will be exhibited," Prof. Griffith said this morning, "for we are told for the K. U. Exposition in June."
The exposition will continue for three weeks.
PLAY INDIANS TONIGHT
Frank's College Five Will Meet Haskell---A Hot Game is Expected
The College basket-ball quintette will go to Haskell tonight to play the fast Indian five.
Both teams have been playing good ball lately and have been practicing hard. This should make the game a hard and fast one.
The dope seems to make the teams about even in their playing ability. Haskell was beaten by the K. U. team two times earlier in the season and the College team always gives the team a hard tassle when they get together.
The line-up for Haskell will probably be: Richards and Jamison, forwards; Pappan, center; Tayah and Good Eagle, guards. For the College: Brown and Crawford, forwards; Weidlin, center; Folks and Painter, guards.
Theta Tau Pledges
Theta Tau Pledges. The Theta Tau, engineering fraternity have pledged the following: Ralph Hoffman, James Parker, and Ralph Segar.
There will be no meeting of the Annual Board tonight. The literary staff will meet at 7:15 Thursday.
SKULL AND K ELECTS NINETEEN SENIORS
Honorary Society Announces Selection of Representative 1913 Men
ALL ACTIVITIES REPRESENTED
Members Say New Oganization Will Strive for Best Interests of the Class and University
"Skull and KJ," the new senior ion society, announced its membership this morning. Nineteen members of the class of 1913 compose the new organization, which was formed for the purpose of furthering the best interests of the senior class of this and succeeding years by banding together their representative men.
Those elected to "Skull and K" are as follows: Charles M. Coats, R. G. Allison, "Chuck" Dole, Hugh Adair, William Norris, Asher Hobson, "Pat" Patterson, Emile Grignard, "Buster" Tudor, "Buster" Coolidge, R. G. Bodman, Orin Leewein, Don Malcolmson, James Houghton, U. A. Gribble, "Bob" Campbell, Frank Carson, H. H. Campion and Harlan Thompson.
"The society was formed," one of the members said this morning, "because we felt the need of an organization that would be truly representative of the senior class. Skull and K will begin work immediately to help with the needs between the seniors themselves and between the rest of the school.
"The qualifications for election to the society are distinction in scholarship, character and prominence in activities for the class itself and the University as a whole. Consideration has been given in selecting the members to all school activities and the men elected are those who have done something for their class and their Alma Mater. Skull and K is, and will continue to be free from any political, fraternal, 'barb' or other prejudice in its election of members."
The pin of the society is a gold skull in profile with a block "K" in pearls superimposed. An emerald forms the eye of the skull. Membership is limited to seniors in full school. All of the schools of the University.
The first senior society, The Sachems, was organized two years ago. Besides the Sachems there are three other class societies, The Friars, The Black Helmet, sophomore; and The Sphinx, freshman. It could not be learned today whether additional societies will be formed in the other classes.
Quill Club Elects.
At the regular meeting of the Quill club yesterday afternoon, Ernest Leisy was elected president, Florence Fuqua vice-president, and Miriam Symt, secretary for the second semester. Caroline Greer read a story of Italian life outfitted with another "dress" and Guy Schrittz read one of his hunting stories which he contributed to "Field and Stream" and gave the members some practical advice on placing manuscripts.
To Enroll in the Graduate School.
Enrollment in the Graduate School will begin Monday, February 3, and will continue daily throughout the week as follows: Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between the hours of 9:00 and 11:00 a. m. and Saturday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 2:00 to 4:00, at the dean's office, 206 Administration building.
We were in Topeka Monday and Tuesday talking with the other editors of the state and getting a little inside information about what happens outside—in the real newspaper game.
Now that you know we were away you have the reason for the non-appearance of the man on Monday and Tuesday.
Our experience in Topeka
should make the Daily Kansan
better. If it does the two
issues that were not given to
you will never be missed.
