UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, SEPT. 22, 1925
The controversy began last week when the Men's Student Council legislated to give the "six bit" charity a trial without consulting the W. S. G. A. representatives to it, and the Men's Student Council to give it a task issue committee on the grounds that such action was unconstitutional and that the new price could not go into effect until ten days after being published in the University Daily Kansas. The Men's Council justified its action by stating that it was the result of a complaint merely to ascertain the practical feasibility of the price reduction.
For several years, the Men's Council has handled the business end of the variates, while W. S. G. A. has furried chimpanzees. It has become a matter of president for the men's council to check a business manager the present is being Ed Killip, who will almost always dance tickets for 75 cents last Saturday night, in compliance with orders from the men's council.
Accusations Made
Lengthy correspondence passed between the two governing bodies, wherein the W. S. G. A. accused the Men's Council of acting unconstitutionally and unfairly by the constitution adopted by the men of the University in 1919. Two of these sections provided that the W. S. G. A. have an equal voice in the matters discussed and share equally in the profits.
According to Paul Riemiens, president of the men's association, the fact that the members of W. S. G. A. did not object to the appointment of Killip as business manager is a basis for their integrity in the matter.
Now the question is, what will be the next move in the 'controversy?' Will the councils reach some kind of compromise or agreement, or will they depend on one side giving in to the other, as they do in many cases? The woman maintains it is the principle and not the price that they are objecting to; the man steadfastly assert that they are justified in their legislation. Several courses of action are open to both parties in the attestion of them.
Mrs. S. M. Law Returns From Trip to Europe
One alternative is to refer the action to the Chancellor for his judgment, according to constitutional rights and regulations. On the other hand, there has been rumor of referring the matter by referendum to the student body. Still another possibility is the suburban question to the students by means of a possible that none of those courses will be followed, and that a mutual agreement will be reached by the two councils.
Mrs. S. M. Lau, house mother of the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity, returned Sunday night from Europe, where she spent the summer. She was greeted at the train by the entire membership of the fraternity.
Mrs. Law spent three months in touring ten European countries. She was delighted with her journey, and she spoke of the hardships of the Europeans with whom she came in contact, although she had the misfortune to have her luggage, containing many curios and memories, stolen from a party in Paris shortly after the war.
Her son, Mark Law, M. A., 21, was conductor of the party, which included 25 persons. Law intends to rebuke him for his refusal to play the K-U-M. U. football game.
A model school program was presented by students at the Indiana State Normal School at Munice, Ind. at the close of the summer session.

(United Press)
Washington, Sept. 21, 1925.—After conference with President Coolidge, senator Walter Edge, Republican of New Jersey, announced today that he could introduce a bill in the next congress empowering the president toorganize the administrative departments of the government.
Edge said that the administration bill specifying changes in the administrative departments probably could not pass because of semiornial divergence of opinion regarding needed changes, and that his bill leaving the matter in the hands of the president would serve as a substitution.
Abilitation of the shipping board and absorption of its present function in the commerce department would eliminate purposes of this bill. Declared.

Navy Students Visit K. U
Enrollment Figure Complete; Highest in School History
Authorities Attribute Gain to Influx of Students From Junior College
The total enrollment for the University had reached a new high water mark of 4,019 this morning, according to Georgetown. The highest enrollment it this time of the year ever on record in the history of the University. At this time last year the enrollment was 5,740, or 276 less than the presen-
The large enrollment is not due to an increase in the size of the freshman class as has been the case in former years, as the freshman class this year is smaller than it was last year, to the fact that many students are taking advantage of the junior colleges in the state the first two years of their college work, and coming to the University to finish their junior and senior years. There are also several other colleges recognized by the University, and there are also several other smaller colleges and junior colleges whose work is not fully accredited by the University, but which offer an opportunity to some students to remain at their freshman college work, and then transfer their credits to a larger school for their junior and senior years.
Mr. Foster estimated that the totals enrollment for the year would be 1 the neighborhood of 5,500. This will include all enrollments from July 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014, a considerable portion of the increase may also be found in the summer school enrollment. The enrollment for the size median session of 1024 was 1,324 a month over the previous year, showing an increase of 5 over the previous year.
Bill Compiles Bulletin
Pamphlet Lists. All Newspaper from 1690 to 1790
The department of journalism has just issued a bulletin, "The First Century of American Newspapers," prepared in short form by W. A. Dill. The bulletin lists all the newspapers from 1890 to 1790, indicating by graphical charts the date at which each paper was started, the name of the publisher, the place of publication continued, or what became of it if it continued after 1790.
"One of the most interesting things in a compilation of a chart of this kind," said Professor Dill, "our discrepancies in the book are to be illustrated. To illustrate, there is the popular galaxy that Benjamin Franklin was the founder of the Pennsylvanian Gazette, which later became the Saturday Evening Post wherein it was written. It was Benjamin Kinnemer, and sold to Benjamin Franklin six months later."
The first lecture of the combined Orientation and Hygiene courses for Freshmen women will be held next week at the chapel. The seating arrangement for the class will be posted in Robinson gymnasium, and every freshman woman should determine her south side from the courtyard counted absent from the lecture.
Lecture Courses Begin for Freshman Women
The first lecture will be given by L. N. Manchester, librarian of the University<sup>1</sup>, who will speak on "How to Use the Library".<sup>2</sup> There will be a Monday afternoon at the same time and place throughout the semester.
"Newspapers—at least some of them—have led such precarious lives that it is difficult to keep track of all the variations of title under a given paper. It is especially difficult when it pertains to newspapers of a century or more age, when all events tend to merge together. Many conflicting records are in most instances made of the conflict," said Professor Dill.
Prof. Joseph M. Kellogg, of the department of architecture, is at Emporia recovering from an operation. Professors Goldsmith and Veele are instructing his classes during his absence.

Talks Will be Connected With Subject of Immigration
as Basis
Immigration and its sociological aspects will be the subject of six radio lectures which Dr. Frank W. Blackman, head of the department of sociology, will deliver on KPKU5 Thursday evening programs.
Lact winter, Doctor Blackmar was asked to give six radio lectures on some connected subject, and he chose at that time the topic of immigration. However, illness prevented him from delivering these lectures at the time, and when the remission for blackmar the teacher last month retested that same thought text that he delivered the same lectures which he had planned.
The lectures will be 20 minutes in length, but as they will be more or less connected in subject matter, they should be found interesting and intelligent to those who listen in on KFKU.
The date and subject of each of the six lectures follows:
Kappa Kappa Gamma announces the pledging of Peg Delaney of Miami Beach, Fla.
Sept. 24, "A New Immigration Law"; Oct. 1, "Assimilation of Foreign Population"; Oct. 8, Race Problems; Oct. 15, Race Problems; Oct. 17, Child Labor law and Relation to Industry"; Oct. 29, "Child Health Problems."
A modern Eva-on-the-Ice microdrama was enacted on the campus today with the exception that there was no Eva, no ice and very little of anything except two bloodhounds on the track of some muddled assailants who had executed attacks on the track of the apparently muddled bloodhounds.
Robber or no Robber. Excitement Runs High
The reason for the excitement was the fact that three houses on south Massachusetts street were roiled last night. Early this morning, two bloodhounds were brought from Kansas City and set on the trail of the robber, or robbers, as the case may be. One of them killed the other, was able to follow the scent from Massachusetts street, up Fourteenth, north on Louisiana and back on Ormond to the campaise. The trail led to the east entrance of Fraser hall, through to the west entrance, west to the vicinity of the gymnasium, and back to Fraser hall. Here the itinerary of the hounds changed toward the Journalism building, back around the property where the search for the robber on the Hill was abandoned.

Secretary Wilbur Denies All Charges Made by Mitchell
"Aviation Can Best Attain Its Practical Mission With the Navy," He says.
Washington Sept. 12 — A flat den of Col. William Mitchell's charges for maladministration of the navy air service was made today by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, before a special aircraft committee.
"The U. S. navy," William declared, "is at present organized to handle its air air." The system is working smoothly, ethically and economically.
"Aviation can best accomplish its practical and strategic mission by operating as an integral part of the wave and not as an independent arm.
"The mistake of establishing a separate department or court would be well nigh irreducible. Air forces of the mary itself and its administration and organization, like all other administrative problems internal to the navy, will, if unmolested by outside influences, be solved with the same efficiency and with the same authority in similar problems of the past."
Figures admitted by Wilbur show that the navy now has 631 planes and a personnel of 623 officers and 2,330 enlisted men. He smoke at length on present undertakings of the US Marine Corps in emergency landing fields were to be established at all navy yards throughout the country.

Orders for his appearance in Wash-
ington have been prepared, but have not yet been delivered to the collec-
tors of the court. He will be in connection either with his removal from active duty or his delivery before the committee in Washington he feels that anything further he may say has been said before the Washington board.
PB-I Will Attempt Flight Today From San Pablo Bay
Sea Plane to Start Test
---
San Francisco, Sept. 22—The new plane PB1, left behind when the Hawaiian flight started, will take air late today from San Pablo Bay, pre-relying fly all night, and then crush conditions if flying conditions are favorable.
The craft made three attempts yesterday to start the test, but lack of head winds made it impossible for the plane to lift its load, including 2000 gallons of gasoline from the water.
If the PB-1 is able to remain aloft for 20 hours, a considerable margin over the time required for the Hawaiian hop, it is expected the craft will return here later and map in the PN-9.1 planes failed.
Elosse Smith, '27, of the Methodist church, and Dennis Lardiner, '26, of the Presbyterian church, spoke before the Christian Endeavor of the Christian church last night, in an effort to encourage people to reform a plan of organization.
Young People of Church to Change Organization
Miss Smith and Mr. Larner gave brief outlines of the organizations in their churches. Following their talks an open discussion was held. Next Sunday night the young people of the Christian church will be asked to vote whether they wish to continue their present student council, which has executive power over the church, and the two Sunday school classes of University students, or some other form of organization which might work better.
*The student council will not inter-
fer with the individual workings of
each organization but will tend to
consider the benefit of a uni-
fied program.*

Contracts Cause Trouble
Dissatisfaction With Rooms and Pledging Are Causes
Students who break their contracts with rooming house proprietors are causing much trouble to the office of the dean of men. Since board and room are so essential to the welfare of students, his office aids the conflicting parties to reach an agreement.
Most numerous among the reasons for moving are dissatisfaction with the rooms, and pledging to a fraternity after taking a room. Usually a satisfactory agreement is reached by the two parties. The usual compromise is that the student pay a month's rent.
The proprietor of the rooming house has no recourse other than the dean's office, and if satisfactory arrangements were made before moving much trouble would be eliminated.
