GIVE MY REGARDS TO OREAD;
REMEMBER ME TO ALL THERP
Prof. Erasmus Haworth received a letter yesterday from Leroy Martin, a former student of the University, now located at Culori, Antique, one of the northern provinces of the Philippine Islands.
Martin is now Supervising Teacher of the province and is in charge of the building of a $13,000 school building, the only structure of any consequence to be erected in the province this year.
Martin says he has met many former K. U. students in the Far East and all of them feel an interest in each other due to their associations at K. U. He sends his regards to the "Hill" and to the "Profs."
Dr. Day Talks to Tigers.

Warm Again Tomorrow
Weather for Friday: Unsettled and continued warm. Probably showers.
COME AND SEE US
When the head of a department in a business concern goes to the directors for an appropriation for extension of his branch of the business the directors are likely to hesitate until they have looked at the financial statement for the superior value of the expert judgment of the man in charge.
The suggestion of Governor Hodges that the legislature look carefully into the budgets of the educational branch of the state is a proper one. More than that, it is the one thing that the U.S. Senate and House would have to consider in consideration of the legislature-investigation and understanding of its work.
The University is nothing more than a branch of the state. All that its most zealous friends could ask is that the branch be not trimmed in ignorance, or a twig of it broken through careless zeal. All that its people know is that they belong to the state, the people, to whom it belongs, do with it as they see fit.
It is to be wished that every member of the legislature could pass several days at each of the state schools before voting on any of the educational bills.
GEORGE O. FOSTER,
SPECIAL MESSENGER
Registrar Joins S. Holmes Rank in Sleuth
Class
GEO. O, Foster, special messenger is the latest.
Yesterday he received a telegram from Frank E. Marce, '02, with the Allis-Chalmers company at Salt Lake City, Utah, stating that E. B. Hayes, a student in the engineering school of Wyoming, was infected with pneumonia at Durango, Colorado, and asking for his father's address.
Hayes' home address was traced to Parsons, but the fact that he manicured from there some 13 years ago gave little hope of locating his father. However, Registrar Foster took a chance, called up a personal friend in Parsons, and asked him to see if the father still lived there. Poster delivered word that the father had been located and informed and was already on his way to his son's bedside.
"Moral?" says the Registrar. "Well, it's kinda nice to have old grads scattered round about the country, doncherknow."
BAD DAY FOR J. FROST
IF HE COMES ON CAMPUS
"We have about four hundred tons of coal on hand here and a little more down on the cars and we could run a week on that in cold weather without having to shut down," declared Henry Claus, the stoker at the heating plant yesterday. "We start to firing at four o'clock in the morning and keep the pressure up to ten or fifteen pounds all day.
"We waste nothing here; we put the cinders on the campus road. I have helped fire these ten boilers for the last sixteen years and sometimes I have them all alone when ordinarily it takes three men for the work."
DEBATING SOCIETIES
PLAN SPRING CONTEST
Arrangements are being made for a joint debate between the Cooley club and the Kent club, the winners of which will contest for the championship during the exposition with the winners of a debate to be held between the K. U. and Oread Debating Societies in the College.
He told something of the work of the Primos Chemical company which owns the only two vanadium mines in this country. Mr. Stevenson is now connected with the American Mining Syndicate with headquarters at Denver, Colorado.
A bill will be introduced at a meeting of the Cooley club, Friday afternoon, to allow members of the president's cabinet to address either house of congress on matters pertaining exclusively to their own departments.
Tells About Vanadium
A. I. Stevenson, 11, delivered the address to Milton Miner Journal journal yesterday afternoon. His subject was "The Plant and Process for Extracting Vanadium" at New Mire, Colorado.

CALL MASQUE CLUB ON COUNCIL CARPET
Mens' Student Council Investigates Alleged Violation of Eligibility Rules
The Men's Student Council in a special meeting yesterday appointed a committee to investigate the cast of those who took part in the Masse club play, "Boys of Company B."
Several days before the show was staged it was discovered that certain people in the cast were back in their work and they were notified that they could not take part in the production. However on account of the fact that it was too late to fill the parts, the play was put on as an independent production under the name of the Younggreen Stock Co.
Yesterday the several members of the cast were called before the committee and asked to state their case. The report will be submitted to the council next Tuesday and action will then be taken.

THEY'LL DINE OFF THE MANTEL THIS WEEK
OF SECRETARY STOCKWELL
D. A. Wright, representative of the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, delivered a lecture today in Marvin hall before the Mechanical Engineering Society. Mr. Wright's subject was "Hoisting Machinery and Plants."
TO LOOK FOR SUCCESSOR
Dr. Sayre and "Uncle Jimmy"
Favor Plan for Retiring
Senior Classes
HAWORTH SUGGESTS A PLAN
"Use Marvin Grove as a Place for the Erection of Memorials."
"The value of class memorials depends on the sentiment promoting the plan," said Dean L. E. Sayre. "The sentiment should arise involuntarily and if of the right kind is far more valuable than the gift itself. The plan is one to be encouraged. Whenever I see the sun dial by the museum, I think of the sentiment which prompted the class memorial. The memorial of Michigan has many class memorials, some of which are not what they should be, but others which are very appropriate."
"The movement which has been started toward the erection of class memorials is something that should be encouraged in every way possible," declared Professor Erasmus Haworth, this afternoon. "I am strongly in favor of the plan and believe that it can be worked out satisfactorily. One suggestion which has appealed to me, was that we may have Marrye Garrard for the erection of memorials. This is a spot which will probably never be used by the University for buildings or anything else except for the beautification of the campus. One class could do one thing and another something else, all tending toward a certain end. Before many years it would become a delightful place. Keep the ball rolling."
"The plan to erect class memorials is one that should be investigated," said Deun J. W. Green. "It is well known that a memorial it would create a worthy custom."
KANSAS FACTORY OWNERS
FAIL TO OBEY LAW
The owners of factories in Kansas are not complying with the 1912 Compensation Law, according to Frank E. Ward, superintendent of Fowler shops. Mr. Ward was sent out on an inspection tour by the Employers' Protection Exchange a short time ago, and out of 75 factories inside Kansas they unprotected belts and other dangerous appliances in use.
The Protection Exchange is an organization of factory owners who have every factory in the state inspected to see that the law is carried out in every detail.
OH, WHY IS A FACULTY ADVISOR? THE DISCUSS IT
A meeting of members of the faculty and representatives from the student body was held at Prof. D. C. Rogers' house last night to discuss the relation of the advisor to the student.
The faculty was represented by Prof. D. C. Rogers, Prof. G. A. Gesell, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, Nadine Nowlin, Prof. Margaret Lynn, and Elise NeuenSchwander, and the student body by Mary Staunwa, Madeline Nachtman, Harry Wilson, Blair Hackney, and Carson Carse.

HERE, WATSON,
ARE THE FACTS
Campus Detectives Frankly Confess They're Baffled in Fraser Hall Mystery.
Sherlock Holmes, Nick Carter; and Craig Kennedy can find employment on the hill. The Adventure of the Sanitary Drinking Cup Holder is to be elucidated, and local sleuths are baffled.
"We will run down the guilty party if it takes all week," declared the chief of the campus detective force this morning.
The S. D. C. H. is placed by the time-honored water barrel in the main corridor of Fraser hall, and in nickle-plated brightness is ready to do warfare with the death dealing microbes of the common drinking cup. The upper part of the apparatus is a tank filled with hot water. This water flows down through a sprayer over which the glasses are inverted and washes away all bacillus. But that is not the mystery part of the Adventure. How the S. D. C. H. got there is the problem for solution and no one seems able to throw any light on the subject. James King, the janitor, says that when he passed the place at two o'clock it most decidedly was not there, but on his return at three he found it. No one was seen operating in the corridor in the meantime.
Edward E. Brown, purchasing agent of the University denies any knowledge of the affair.
DOWNHEARTED? NO!
DECLARE GLEEWOMEN
They'll Come Right at Faculty With Concert on January 22
That stay-at-home rule of the University council for the girls' glee club will not throttle the ambitions of the feminine troubadines.
Their first appearance this season will be Wednesday night, January 22, when they will appear on the program at the Mandolin club concert. The later part of February the club will give their own concert. Sixteen members with a pianist and reader will appear in popular concert.
The club hasn't yet given up hopes of displaying their wares out of Lawrence. Many of the members of the council are said to be friendly toward a well arranged tour and that body may yet acquiesce.
The genial janitorio of the Daily Kansan editorial and office rooms begs to submit the following articles, which he says he found on the floor last night. As everyone connected with the Daily Kansan in any way is absolutely truthful in every way, there seems to be no reason for doubting the veracity of the janitorio's statement.
WHAT THE JANITOR GLEANED FROM THE KANSAN FLOOR
A list of the day's gleanings follows:
One pint of assorted buttons; two pounds of dried gum; thirteen large hair combs; two back combs; three handbills of small black hair pins; a pair of scissors; two bottles of smelting salts and one bottle of cologne; a locket holding a gentleman's picture; a hatful of pins, including bar, beauty, brass and others; nine small lace handchiefs; and seven powder-puffs and a box of talc.
Owners can have same by calling and identifying their property at

A special recognition service for new members will be held for the new members of the Y. M. C. A. in Myers hall Sunday afternoon.
Y. M. to Hold Recognition Service
WOULD CREATE ONE BOARD OF REGENTS
Bills Before Legislature Propose Single Rule for All State Colleges
FOLLOW GOVERNOR'S PLANS
Keene Would Pay Three Members $10,000 a Year for Salaries and Expenses.
Special to the Kansan.
Topela, Jan. 16.—Two bills in harmony with the recommendation of Governor Hodges for the consolidation of the state educational institutions made their appearance in the legislature yesterday, one introduced by a Republican and the other by a Democrat.
Representative Keene of Bourbon county, who was the author of the consolidation bill passed two years ago and vetoed by Governor Stubbs, has presented the matter in different form this time. His new bill provides simply for a financial board of three members to be appointed by the governor, this board to have entire control over the management of the educational institutions but not to be charged with their government in other respects.
Senator James Malone of Rawlins county has introduced in the senate a bill covering the same subject which is practically a duplicate of the bill passed by both Senate and House at the 1911 session.
It is the understanding in legislative circles however, that a bill is to be drawn by the Senate committee on judiciary, that will embrace the ideas of Governor Hodges on the subject of changes in the management of the treasury, and that it will be presented to the legislature as an administration measure.
The Keene bill proposes a contingent fund of $10,000 a year for the boards' salaries and expenses.
Special to the Kansan.
BILL PROPOSES FREE BOOKS
FOR ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN
Topeka, Jan. 16.—One of the first bills introduced in the House yesterday afternoon brings the question of state publication of school text books before the legislature. The Keene bill provides not only for state publication of text books but for their free distribution to the children of the state after 1917 when the present contracts for text books will expire.
Would Amend Barnes Law. Special to the Kansan.
Topeka, Jan. 16.—The biennial fight in the legislature to amend the Barnes high school law, enacted in 1905, was re-opened yesterday when Senator B. S. Pauley of Marshall county introduced a bill providing for the re-submission of the high school question in counties that are now making a levy for the support of high schools.
Morgan Recovers.
Howard Morgan, a sophomore of last year from Kansas City is recovering from a serious attack of typhoid fever. He will not return before next year.
