Shultz Takes Issue With Allen on Value of Training Camps
Y. M. C. A. Head States Man, Educators Are Opposed to Their Use
"By no means all authorities on 'physical education' favor training camps as a means of physical education," said Ted Shuh, secretary of
issue with a statement made in regard to Dr. Forrest C. Allen's endorsement of the C, M, T, C, in which it was declared that he was only one of a large number of athletic directors who favored them.
Mr. Shultz quoted several authorities who take the opposite view. Prof. George W. Ehler, former director of physical education, University of Wisconsin, and now connected with the Boy Scouts of America, says:
"Military drill is a sea-deadening, enthusiasm killing, contempt-developing treadmill. Preparedness involves training the mind to sustain durance, integrity of structure and function of every organ, alertness, bodily skill and courage. Let us not confound military drill with training or military drill for physical education."
Prof. Jesse F. Williams, of the department of physical education, Teachers College, Columbia University, and Professor of Representatives Committee on Military Affairs, that the tendency to substitute military drill for the development of educational education means not only a loss in potential power for military service, but a distinct handicap for the development of strength for the whole life of the individual.
Pharmacy Award Made
J. M. Noble Receives Recognition for All Around Work
Dean L. D. Havenhill said that the medal was awarded "for general excellence in studies and all round work and the attitude of the student toward work, the University, and his work, the University he came in contact while working."

The medal is given by the whole sale drug firm of Lehn & Fink of New York and is one of twenty which are donated by this company each year to the twenty leading schools of pharmacy in the country.
Students of the University of Idaho are circulating petitions in an effort to secure student government.
Graduates Eligible for Membership in Phi Beta Kappa
Late Election Will Be Held to Choose Students Receiving M. A.
At its meeting of June 8, 1924, the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa declared itself in favor of electing to hold graduate students, alumni or others as may be deemed worthy of election in accordance with article III of its constitution.
This article provides that "members of the chapter shall be elected primarily from the best scholars of the graduating classes of the University, secondly from those graduates of the University whose postgraduate work was taken in the University, thirdly from any persons distinguished in letters, science, or education.
Graduates Will Be Elected
Last year, which was the first time an annual graduation ceremony, the nominating committee decided to elect only those students who are enrolled in the University of Kansas Graduate School at the time of nomination. This year the nominating committee chose the graduate, June 4, to consider nominees, or as soon as the grades for the current semester are in, and will then report to the council, according to Prof. U. H. Boll, president of the Kansas chapter.
Degree
In order to be eligible for Phi Beta Kappa, some of the requirements for election for graduate students are 1. To be eligible for the two hour graduate work here at the University of Kansas. 2. The scholarship index of the student's undergraduate work must be at least equal to the minimum scholarship index of the degraduates of the University of Kansas. 3. The scholarship index of the graduate work must be above the minimum scholarship index for gen- eral degrees. 4. The Kappa at the University of Kansas.
Applies to Former ineligibles
This will only apply to students taking their degrees here who were not eligible to undergraduate election before taking their degree. Our work completed here on coming from a college or university not having a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. A student at K. U. must have completed 45 hours before being put on the eligibility list to be considered in their senior year. This eliminates those who were not eligible for the course, but gives them a chance to make Phi Beta Kappa if they stay here for graduate work.
Beginning Thursday, May 27. the date rule will be suspended until the close of school.

Chancellor Lindley Reminds Students of Responsibility
o-operation Is Requeste Among Organizations During Farewell Parties
That the students remember that the University is held responsible for all their acts, until the end of school was the request of Chancellor E. H. Lindley in speaking to all fraternity men and women of the University, at university conferences and in the auditorium of central Administration building at 4:30 p. m.
The co-operation of all organized houses was asked in enforcing the closing hours, and rules pertaining to farewell parties.
In speaking of the farewell parties, he said, "Many times it is not University students who cause the irregularities, but the out-of-town guests to be requested to comply with the rules, he stated.
Doctor Lindley said he hoped the liquid question would not need to be brought up, and for everyone to re-examine whether they were, or what fraternity, the headlines on the subject, should anything occur, would read, "A K. U. student
Little things such as the taking back of all library books, while seeming unimportant, in themselves amount to a good deal of work when one person has to do it all, and if everyone co-operates it will eliminate the trouble which arises with the closing of school, the chancellor urged.
Dean Agnes Husband gave a short talk also, and she suggested that in an office environment he be limited to active members only, as this would eliminate much of the trouble caused by alumun members who don't feel that the rules apply to them.

Ellsworth Announces Place of Registration for Visiting Alumni
East Corridor of Administration Building Will Be Used for Guests
New plans to simplify registration for the returning alumni at commencement have been made, according to Fred Elworth, secretary of the Alumni Association. Formerly, registration was in bed in room 108 of east Administration building when then necessary to go to room 102 of east Administration building in order to get the tickets for the University dinner and commencement exercises. As these rooms had but one place for entrance and exit, there was congestion and congestion, the registration was slow and at times unsatisfactory.
According to new plans, registration will be held in the east corridor of the Administration building. A series of tables will be placed lengthwise along the corridor and may start at the south end of the corridor for registration and proceed down the corridor and get tickets for the University dinner and commencement exercises. The new plan will involve registration and relieve be a usual congregation.
A large banner will be placed across the corridor with the words "Avenue of Years" in large letters on it. The end of the end wall will have "Registration form" written on a large bulletin board will be placed at the end of the corridor and will be subdivided into two spaces for students. The student names will be transferred regularly from the registration books to the bulletin board, so that at all times it will be possible to know who has registered by watching the bulletin board.
Huge commencement programs are being printed, according to Mr. Kissworth and will be placed in the downtown hotels and other public places where they may be of use to visitor during commencement week.
