More Than Two Score High Schools Compete in Newspaper Contest
Best Original Feature Story Aided as New Division of Competition
of Competition
About fifty high school newspapers throughout the state have centered the content conducted by the department, which is operated under a university, which closed April 1. The faculty of the department of journalism are the judges and the announcement of the awards will be soon as they reach their declarations.
A new division has been added to the context this year—that for the best original feature story, making five in all. The other awards are made for the best original editorial, for the best piece of reporting, for the best record of service to a high authority, and for methods of securing and handling a business problem either in advertising or in circulation.
The editorial class is the most popular since more entries are listed in it than in any other. The winning editorial in last year's contest was "Queen Falke" from The Augustan. The award, the best news story, the award for the best news story, the decision for the best record of services and the best report on a business problem show the least number of entries. The Habul of Skino won the prize last year for the for-the-best-news story and the student of Independence for the latter.

Political Partisans Play Semi-Annual Tag Game
"Yowl row" in all the glory of strong arm salesmanship was duplicated in the ventricles of the library and Administration building Friday morning, when fanatical Pachaeamia and Black Mask advocates engaged in their semi-annual game of tag.
For untagged students crossing the threshold of either building, it was a case of jumping out of the rain into the fire. A Black Mackie wielded a刀机, one of Leontine's other bells. Both attempted to drag the victim over to his party by the argument of brute force. More party-related violence followed, with workers who had made a capture, Cries of "Wear a Black Mack!" "Be a Pachachanese!" "Here—Let me tie it on you!" blended in a bait of sound suggesting a free-thriller as possible. The best takemaker of "Yowl row" could not have done better.
Professor Guild Goes to Indiana to Finish Studies
political Science Head Trys to Determine Causes of Split Votes
on Bills
In order to complete his study of a million legislative voices in Indiana and other states Professor F. H. Guild, head of the department of political science, will spend a week in Indiana.
Professor Guild will work at the state capitol in Indianapolis and the University of Indiana at Bloomington. Professor Guild is making the trip at this time in order to have research results prepared to present at the American Academy of Sciences of politics to be held at New York City next September.
For the past three years Professor Guild has been making a statistical analysis of the roll calls in the Indiana state legislature covering a period of 20 years. He has supplemented the Indiana results by loyals to other legislatures of Kansas, Iowa, Rhode Island, Arkansas and other states.
The main problem of the research is to determine along what lines votes on measures in the legislature are split. Although any conclusion, at this time would be premature, according to Mr. Guild, it is clear that the split is not primarily along party lines, as is commonly supposed. Possibilities for explaining the cleavage include the group interests, especially those of the unionists, farmers and the blau Professor Guild has pointed out at various times in commenting upon the research work.
The result of the research will not only be presented to the conference, but also will be embodied in articles contributed to political science maga
others Professor Guild has indicated. Other facts besides the basis for passing out by the research study. One of these is that approximately 75 percent of the bills in a legislative session pass unanimously with negligible opposition. This is important, since the laws of the state are the fact that the rules of procedure, such as the roll call for final passage are framed upon the premise
Professor Guild came to the University of Kansas last fall from the University of Indiana.
Planes Will Raid Campus
Fort Riley Aviators to Do Stunts for Engineers Day
A smoke screen such as those commonly used in concealing towns and trenches in battle, will be dropped over the University buildings and the picture of an air attack will be complete.
The six planes will demonstrate the different flying formations used in battle and there will be stunt flying in addition.
Accuracy in mechanical work has been shown to increase with the intensity of the illumination available.
All the thills of a real air battle will be given people of Lawrence and students of the University on Engineer's day when six army planes crashed into the barge over the University buildings. Major Cygon of the R, O, T, C has made arrangements for the exhibition in connection with the Engineering department as an added feature for the two day exhibit of Engineer's products, which will start at noon April 17 and dawn at April 18.
Best Short Stories to Be Published
The second edition of "The Best College Short Stories" is being prepared by the publishers, the Stratford Company, Editorial department. Students will have access to Mass. Students who wish to submit their stories for examination with a view to their inclusion in this volume are requested by the publishers to forward their manuscripts, prior to publication.
This will probably come as close to a real air battle as will ever be seen here. It will be an added attraction for the many high school students attending this year's track meet for the Kansas high school track meet and the Kansas Relays.

A. M. Wilcox Reca's Old Phi Beta Kappa Days
Prof. A. M. Wilcox informally gave his reasons for having the best claims to a Phi Beta Kaipm at the re-creation dinner at the Congregation.
"I am pounced upon to make a speech here because of my innocence, since I had nothing to do with the work of the church in our book of Phi Beta Kappa. I am utterly innocent of any virtue connected with that, at least according to As利特里, who assigns no credit for virtue to involuntary acts."
"I just happened to be here when Prof. A. R. Marson, a newcomer to our faculty, from Harvard, proposed and by some outside help succeeded in getting a charter for a chapter here.
"I ought p. chaps to say that one thing to my position here, and in my condept I pride myself on having more titles to membership in this society than I have anywhere. In fact, my titles are three in number. When I graduated at Yale, the fraternity was in abeyance, as it was for several years, but now I was the first time I went to Wesleyan University at Middletown, Conn, to teach. And I had no sooner arrived than the members of Phi Beta Kappa there expressed their gratification at my arrival by making me a member of the society.
"That was my initiation into the society. By helping to start the *sic* here I achieved a second title. But I never knew that the society was received at Vale, they honoured themselves and me by making me a member of their chapter. So if anybody has a better claim to the society than I have, I'd like to see him."
"Of the charter members here, eight in number, four have passed away. Doctor Snow, one of the first two teachers in the school, was a teacher of all the natural sciences, who afterward became chancellor; Professor Robinson, our first teacher of foreign languages, then only Latin and Greek; Dr. Snow, a political science and Professor Blake, a物理学; Doctor Snow was humorously known as the chinch-hag-diameter, his title on one of the letters addressed to him, on account of his interest and work against that pest.
"Professor Blake earned the title of the rain-maker, on account of his experiments in that line. The other fear are still living: Professor Marsh, now a business man of New York City; Prof. A. G. Canfield, a court of J. H. Canfield, now head of the French department in Michan university; Prof. Max Winker, now head of the German department in Michigan. He is hardly necessary to say that the eighth member is still alive."
Professor Willeux closed by giving an account of the first meetings.
Geology and the Bible, Subject of Discussion

Burdick Writes Article
Professor Tells of Compilation of Federal Statutes
Dr. W. L. Burdick tells of the methods employed in the compilation of the federal statutes in an article appearing in the March number on the . American Bar Association's Journal.
In 1919 Doctor Burdick was invited to aid in the compilation of the federal statutes by Chairman E. C. Little of the congressional committee on the revision of laws. Doctor Burdick wrt" made reviser of the statutes.
Doctor Bardick, Chairman Little,
and possibly a dozen others worked
upon the revision of the statutes for
almost four years, the first authorized
attempt of its kind made in the last fifty years.
The finished compilation was approved by the national house of representatives but was unfavorably reported upon by the senate because of alleged errors in the bill. It is said that the errors can be easily adjusted as they are for the most part typographical in nature.
Tues at the U. S. bureau of standards show that pebbles placed on a street car can wall more than doubles the load on the rail when care runs over it.

Laborers Change Interior of Spooner-Thayer Hall to Accommodate Art Works

Gift Is Appreciated
"The University even a great debt to Mrs. W, B. Thayer, not only for her generous gift of the encyclold W. B. Thayer collection, but also for the mobile educational purpose which motivated the gift," Chancellor Limley said.

The university and the desire to bring beauty into everything of use in the daily life of the people."
The W. B. Thayer art collection is thus a monument to the worth and idealism of two great benefactors of Kansas, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Thayer. On June 2, 1017, an agreement was executed between Mrs. Thager and the University of Kansas, whereby Mrs. Thayer for the purpose of portraying the memory of her widow, Wilhelm Thayer, advancing and encouraging the study of the fine arts in the University, made provision for the gift.
The provision was attached that within three years from the date of the gift the University should install the collection in a proper museum manner to make it available for students and the public, and that it be displayed as the William B. Thayer memorial.
