Kansas Team to Meet University of Colorado in Last Valley Debate
Final Members of Squad Will Be Selected at Trouys on Wednesday
The Kansas debate team represented by George Leonard and Martin Dickinson lioness that might for Boulder, Colorado, and the University of Colorado team.
This will be the final debate in the Missouri Valley League. If Kansas wins they will either win or tie for the valley championship. All teams have lost at least one debate and some of them have lost more.
The question of the debate is. Resolved; that congress accept Mitchell's plan for a single cabinet for nationals and departments, gary, navy and air.
The squad has been chosen for the debate with the University of Wisconsin which will be held here April 5. The question is, resolved: That any law or portion of law declared unconstitutional by the supreme court should be valid is re-raised by two thirds vote of next succeeding committee.
Those who made the squad area:
Kenneth Cordner, James Hayes, Rice Lardner, C. K. Thompson and Howard Payne. The final members of the team will be chosen at 4 p.m. on Friday with three-minute speeches on two single topics assigned fifteen minutes before will be given as final tryouts.
The last of the three radio talks to be given by members of the faculty of the art department was terminated yesterday afternoon when Miss Rose-Ann Skolnick, assistant of design, read a paper treating of the study of design. The art lecture room in west Administration building has for the last three Wednesday afterternoons been filled with art classes, those not in the School of Fine Arts.
The purpose of these short talks has been to bring to the people in Kansai an understanding of the subject, a more enlightened understanding of art. Miss Ketchan believes everyone should study art whether the individual possesses ability or not.
Bringing out her points in favor of design, she said, "It opens the eyes, for it teaches us how to use it, creates a sense of connection and see more exactly, for design is definiteness; also design stimulates the imagination, and imagination creates life." For this reason, payment of Life; and chief of all reasons, it loads to self-expression."
In concluding this last point, Miss Ketchn explained that "We learn by doing; we do by learning." The talks preceding this one were given by Miss Glades Bate and Miss Marion Peers instructors in the art department.
Entertainment Planned by Chemistry Faculty
The Chemistry staff and graduate students of the department will entertain the Kansas City section of the American Council society March 31. A dinner will be given for the guests to enjoy a second floor of the chemistry building

Prohibition Polls Being Conducted in Leading Cities
Modification of Dry Law Favored by Country, Newspaper Vote Indicates
The United Press tabulation of the vote today from the polls of newspapers, in 23 representative cities showed this result:
New York, March 11—The country is now engaged in the most expansive referendum on a question of whether newspapers should publish the newspaper polls on prohibition.
More than four hundred newspapers from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico are taking straw ballots in their communities. Some of them have warned their followers against the poll, saying that it is not representative and is dominated by wets. Wet leaders point to the ballot in which their president has a dominant lead as proof that the country is the prohibition.
For modification or repeal of prohibition 171,363.
Against changing the present law 19.034.
These figures give those favoring either repeal or modification of the present law a *n* to 1 lead.
The supposedly dry states of the Middle Wet in their newspaper polls are represented as overwhelming in favor of changing the law.
It is significant, however, that it is almost every case the weight is heavier in favor of modification, complete rest or post-flavored; according to abutations.
New Instrument Bought
A new and improved wave-length spectrometer, which measures the wave length of the spectra directly in Angstrom units and contains a constant deviation prism, has been purchased by the department of chemistry. It was made by the Bauch & Lomb company of this country. Before the war all such instruments were sold abroad, usually from Germany and it is only since that time that they have been made in this country.
Improved Spectrometer Added for Use in Chemistry
A university course for laundrymen is being considered at the University of Washington.
The drum on which the wave length is read is completely enclosed, protecting it from the action of fumes. This is the only type of a wave length spectrometer in which the drum is unclosed.
The shutter, which is adjustable aids in measuring a given line. The slit at which the light enters is adjustable, and when it changes by turning a screw, it is changed in most machines by a steer jaw, and in this type the edge is more smooth.
The machine cost $205 and was purchased for use in physical chemistry classes. There will probably be a course in chemical spectroscopy or a course of arts from our school for graduates, according to Prof. Robert Taft.
A large number of students and faculty from the University are assisting with this movement. Among those of the faculty who have been involved in the project, Prof. Witte Witty, Emily Woodruff, Mrs. Amy Rader, Emily Fernik, Katherine Creveling, Dr. Cora Downs, Mary Larson, Mrs. Bare, and Dr. Florence Dumont are the ones who have been assisting and there will be other helpers later.

Money Making as Main Purpose
Opposed by E. J. Peterson
of Wichita
AUTHORIZED PARTIES Friday, March 12
"Sensationalism seems to pay," continued Mr. Peterson, "but it is not essential to success. Being conservative doesn't mean being colossal." That was mentioned as a model between conservatism and progressivism.
"A newspaper should have a moral idea in its publication besides the making of money," said E. J. Peterson, professor at Texas A&M University before the classes in comparative journalism and reporting III this morning. Most of the talk was on the different types of newspapers and students who are answering questions for the students.

"The United States Daily is an experiment in trying to print a paper entirely without color even without headlines," he said. "I do not believe the editors can help from coloring it, and if they do succeed in their purpose, it will probably be as dry as he Congressional Record."
"The New York Times is the best paper in the United States," and Mr. Peterson in giving his opinion of some representative newspapers. "The New York Times is the commercial basis, while the Chicago Tribune has a large individualism. Sensationalism makes the Denver Post a disgrace even to the people of Denver," he concludes a model of good editing but it fails as a newsletter. In Kansas the Topica Capital and the Journal are full of state politics, while papers of Wichita and other papers offer very small demand for politics."

Mr. Peterson also recounted a few personal experiences to the short story writing class in course of his articles on the Saturday Evening Post. He expressed belief that most success in the course was achieved by persistent and hard work.

Brien Conducts Study
Records of Students Followed Over Several Years
An extensive study, involving the records of about 7400 students and covering a period of several years, led to the formation of OBrien, director of the bureau of school service and research. The study is concerned with the graduation of students from high school, middle school and school and their going on to college.
It has been found that students who scored low in the mental test had little difficulty in graduating from high school, but a smaller per cent of them went to college and they failed more frequently in their college work than did those who scored high in the test. This suggests that while will be continued for several more years until the students tested have finished college.
The study has also shown, according to Professor Orien, that high school graduates who attended public colleges represented about the same mental ability as did those who attended private colleges. Sixy- eight per cent of the student population had graduation from high school, while 32 per cent went to private or denominational colleges.
European Film Producers to Confer in Budapest
(United Press)
Budapest, March 11.—Hungarian film professors have invited invitations to producers throughout Europe to meet in Budapest for a conference on ways and means to break the semi-elite audience enjoyed by American films in Europe.
In Hungary as well as in most other European countries local producers are finding it next to impossible to meet the keen competition of the American film industry. Half-bankrupt producers, jobless actors, and business buildings are burdened by an increasing number of American films shown in their theaters.
The Budapest conference is booked, forward to with great interest by laymen as well as by persons interested directly in the trade.

Sirens Will Announce Sixth Semi - Annual Unveiling of Windows
Automobile Dealers Co-operate in isplaying New Models of Cars
The shrieking of sirens at 7:30 to night will be the signal for the sixth semi-manual window unveiling of the theatre. According to those in charge of the event, this will be one of the most elaborate affairs of this sort ever staged in Law.
A novel plan called the "Gift Hunt" is being followed this spring. Numbers have been selected from the telephone directory of Lawrence and from those of Marissa and Jeffrey, to be interested per person. These numbers will be displayed in the windows of the merchants co-operating in this scheme from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. These individual numbers among the ones displayed will receive a gift from the merchant if they call at the store within two days and properly identify themselves. Between 600 and 400 customers will be displayed in the various windows.
In connection with the window displays an automobile show will be staged. Under the leadership of H. D. Hill of the Nash agency, all the dealers are co-operating to make initials of cars to be shown (twelve cars will be show in the seven, eight and nine hundred blocks on Massachusetts street which will be closed to traffic during that time). It was thought that the automobiles could be more effectively displayed in this manner than inside the build-

Japan to Be Producer of Much Artificial Silk
Tokyo, March 11—Japan, the home of real silk, is soon to be among the largest producers of artificial silk. At least four large firms are planning to import new silks.
Until recently the Japanese silk industry looked upon artificial silk with some amusement, regarding it as a substitute for silk, and for the average consumer. The Japanese people, however, compared the prices and began buying the products of French and American silks, which were apparently appeared in the commodities lated by the department of commerce, when 100,000 pounds were bought in Japan. Last year the import reached 4,018,735, an important value of $324,700.
Now the silk worm is to have human competitor in its own land.

College Trustees Vote to Retain Iconoclast
(United Press)
Emporia, March 11—Prof. J. S. Cornet, instructor in Bible courses at the College of Emporia, will continue as a member of the faculty, despite his liberal interpretation of some of the favorite stories of the Old Tessarca.
The board of trustees of the college, following an all-day session, voted to retain Cornet after members accused him of stealing. The instructor's teachings were "sound."
Cornet's advice to his classmates to forget their childhood stories and learn the truth about the Bible, caused several members of the freshman class to write their parents that the institute should weaken their faith in the Bible.
