Only One Student to Complete Ph.D. by End of Term
Robert Taft, Instructor Chemistry, Chooses Oxidation for Thesis
Robert Taft, instructor in the chemistry department at the University of Missouri, will teach to rotate this semester. The Ph.D. degree will be granted him in June his final oral examination Monday.
Mr. Tafft's thesis, now on file at the University, "Oxidation and Reduction," is largely, he said, an argument against the usually accepted way of teaching oxidation and reduce metals to the elementary chemistry courses.
Studies Electrical Action
The experimental part of Mr. Taft's original work is a study of the cost of electricity on adulthood water. In his experiments Mr. Taft used liquid ammonia, liquid phosphate and phosphoric acid to heat the mixture.
Speaking of Mr. Taft's theod, H D P. Cary, chairman of the chemistry department, and under whom Mr Taft work on his doctorate, said that it will attract a great deal of interest from him profession. "I can say that. Mr Taft has been an honor and credit to the University." Doctor Cady added
Commends Chemistry Staff
"My experience is that no chemistry
is good in the Middle World, and I
good in the World," Mr. Taft.
Taft, "I think we ought to have
more graduate students in this
department." Among the schools Mr.
Taft has "tended are the University
of Nebraska, Iowa and Rochester.
Mr. Tc' was elected to Sturni National honorary scientific fraternity, last spring, in 1928 he became a member of the American Chemical Society for seven years and a member of the fossil化学 fraternity. It has been a member of the American Chemical Society for seven years and a member of the fossil化学 fraternity. It is his intention to remain in the educational work of his chosen field, which is the study of general and physical chemistry
Mr. Taft was born in Japan, where his parents were missionaries of the Mongols. He studied at Tauft taug' in 'the chemistry department at Ottawa University, Ottawa, Kan., coming to K.U. in the fall of 1905. He then done some seminar session work here.
Students Oppose Strike
Burt Believes Walkout Injudicious and Inopportune
"A student strike at this time would be inoportune and probably injurious to the cause of Dr. E. H. Lindley and the University's care," he wrote. "I was a member of the group which presented the petition for Dr. Lindley's re-appointment, signed by 2500 students, to Governor Ben S. Cook."
I wouldn't say that there is no probability of a strike, but I think that "the subject has been seriously admitted only by a few radicals, and these students comprise an abhorrent part of the student body."
"The governor-elected asked if the committee expected a student skirt in case the verdict would be adverse to student sentiment and we left the impression that the governor was made aware that he could not help in the sight of the governor."

Harvard Inaugurates Mid-Year Class Plan in Graduate Schoo
fumbles Man Graduation Midyear to Continue His Work
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1925
An announcement of special interest to students who contemplate graduate work in business is that the Harvard Graduate School of Business has decided to inaugurate beginning classes in February as well as in September. This has been tried during the past three years with such success that the plan has been adopted as part of the permanent program. The inaugurated beginning class in February is that it enables the man graduating at midyear to continue his work with no loss of time. Others who have graduated in June have found it inconvenient to drop their work in September until February. The same courses are taught as offered in September. Because the midyear class is limited to 125 in number the student is able to receive closer attention from faculty and instructors if he were one of the 330 entering in the fall. The smaller classes lend themselves to freer discussion which is of special advantage under the use method which is used in the Baz
Applications for enrollment in the February class of 1925 are now being received by the Secretary of the School. According to present indications, the limit of 125 will soon be reached.
The following students formerly of the University of Kannas, are now attending the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Johnson Jr., A. B. '24; Algo D. Henderson, A. B. '22; Willard H. Larsch, A. B. '24; George S. Lowery, A. B. '24; Donovan Stester, A. B. '24; C. G. Arant, A. B. '23; S. A. Boyer, A. B. '23; John W. Bissell, A. B. '24; Ralph Gould, A. B. '23; Seaton Law, A. B.

French Club Selects Play
"Girignoe," a one act comedy, is the French play that has been so successful since its release. The play will be staged early in the spring and rehearsals are scheduled to begin soon. The play is written by the writer and poet, Theodore de Harvillo.
Two Fine Arts Faculty Members to Give Recit
The play presents an interesting picture in the life of King Louis the Elder, who did more than any of his predecessors to unify the kingdom of France. The plot centers on a slave, whose is secretly in love with the daughter of a rich burgess. He is too tired to press his suit until compelled to do so by the king. Although Gingoire is no marvel of physical beauty, his poetic soul and wisdom make him the romantically young Loye.
The next of the series of recitals by the faculty of the School of Fine Arts will be given in Fraser Chapel, Monday, Jan. 19 at 8:20 p.m. d. M. Swarthot, dean of the School of Fine Arts, announced this morning. It will be a joint event by Bannie May Roos, pianist and Irene Peabody, conductor, who open to the public without charge.

The advance students of the School of For Arts will give their semester recital Monday Jan. 26 in Freser chapel.
France Planning Air Line Service Across Atlantic
Aviation Minister Explain Alms of Commercial Exploitation of the Air
Paris, Jan. 13--In the development of her commercial transport air, France is engaged in the study of two great projects; regular service between Europe and America, both North and South. Already much progress has been made toward linking the country with our possessions in Africa, and we believe that technical improvements now be the focus of this aim to hainy realization.
By M. Laurent Eynae
Under Secretary of State for
Aeronautics
The junction of France with the United State seems, in the present technical state of aviation, more delicate and distant than a successful bailison with North America, so we are aware of its importance to Argentina but we envision the time when air lines will be in operation between Paris and New York, way of Bordeaux, the Azores and the Bermudas. We are concentrating on the expansion convinced that the future of flying offers untold opportunities.
CORRECTION
Since 1919, the year of its creation, commercial aviation by air has made considerable progress. In Europe most of the great capitals are connected by a net work of air lines, which are being exploited with great efficiency and an excellent position. Its capital is connected by air lines with London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Prague, Wauwatchee, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Angola. France has been the first to assure communications between continent and continent, connecting Europe with Africa and Pacific, while it has also connected between Toulouse and Casablanca, also Marseilles to Oran by way of Perigyn and Alcantara. Very soon, we expect to air liaison with Tunis.
The Jawhskwer deadline is Jan. 23 instead of Jan. 27 as announced in Monday's Kansan, according to Reymond Nichols, editor.
In North America
In North America an air postal line is functioning between New York and San Francisco by day and night, watching with sympathetic interest efforts to connect the centers by air.
Does this mean that France is entirely disinterested in the dribbble and in trice-occean lushies by dribbleb? Certainly not, but these lushies are themselves worthy before she will ever connect to utilize them.
All these lines are only links, the sections of great international airways which will bind, in the future, the great capitals of the entire world for aerial navigation will not be complete, will not cause in development until long commercial lines are in operation.
From a technical point of view at present, liaisons across continents are comparatively easy of realization, but further improvements must be made. However, traps Atlantic liaisons have already been envisaged. Projects are in course of study, and their realization will depend upon technological progress with hydropane caps and heavy loads and with dirigibles.
In 1925, the line between Toulouse and Casablanca will be extended to Dakar. Dakar will become in the near future the point of departure for the United States from there it can be continued on to Buenos Aires. To promote this scheme a mission from the Société Generale d'entreprises Aerométiques has already left France for Morocco, where it will continue its necessary development of the line.
Digribles vs. Airplanes
In France opinion differs from that in England and I Germany, where the airline is an early future of commercial air transport lies with the light-chan-air machines, such as dirigibles, but we think that the digribile is not sufficiently to assess to a regular service without danger. Our research has shown several rigid digribiles constructed so far, and the fact that most of them have met with catrophe.

Dr. Florence Sherbon Attends Health Board Meeting in New York
Insurance Company Chooses Home Economics Member for Conference
Dr. Florence Sherbon of the department of home economics and a prominent health worker has just returned from New York City, where she attended the meeting of a health advisory board of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. She was asked if she would give her contact with the college health teaching departments and her experience as teacher.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has maintained for a number of years a welfare department under the direction of D. Lee K. Franklin, chief of dollars in the last two years in an effort to protect the lives of their policy holders. The net result of this expenditure has been that the average life span of their hoovers has been increased and that during the same number of years ap- pared the mortality rate has been saved by the company.
They have thus made a very concrete demonstration that health work pays.
Before returning, Dr. Sherben * * * * *
A chapter of Ep Ipsilon Dolin, known as the National Collegiate Players, and the highest fraternity in point of standing in the field of drama, is to be installed at the University of Arizona.
Notice to College Freshmen and Sophomores
They are now revising their health program and they have called this conference to determine what they could appropriately and effectively do to help the general board movement. The advisory board consisted of 11 people who represented the different countries of the United States and Canada, Dr. Thomas D. Wood of the Teachers College, Columbia University, provided, and Dr. John Sandwall, formerly a professor at anatomy at K., was a member of the group. One of the most important features of this activity is the important attempt to determine what could be done to help the school health awareness. Among a number of contemplated activities it is planned to make an investigation of teachers' health and of school junior service. Local statistics will be made in graphic form for use in high schools as teaching
All College freshmen and sophomores who cannot take the required five hours of afternoon work next semester on account of necessary outside work should have the usual work cards signed by their employers to present at the time of enrolment. These cards may be used for a test, 105 C. Ad. Cards used last fall cannot be used for the summer semester.

tumor of Reappointmen
At 11:30 a.m. on tonight, Dr. E. H. Lindley stated he had received no official notice of his restatement by Gov Bex S. Paunton, rumored in an article this morning in the Teckla Daily Capital.
According to the story, Doctor Lindley would finish out his term as chancellor of the University and his reinsurance would probably be one of the first woes of the new administration. If the present board of administration is not willing to reschedule his term, then he would become Doctor Lindley, Governor Punten would be able to arrange for a board that would do so, it was stated.
This information was disclosed by a "close friend" of the new governor on Monday evening. The governor also asked any statement concerning the case.
"I know nothing about the matter except what was printed in the Topopea Daily," about the morning "belief." "Capital of the matter," "I have received no communication of any kind concerning such action by the governor."
Walker Will Make Survey
Education in City Managing to Be Investigated
A complete survey of the instruction offered in the departments of political science in each of the 160 class "A" universities of the United States, and of the Harvey Walker of the municipal reference bureau. This survey is to be made with the primary idea of ascertaining the amount of education offered by the major universities to the city-marine in the view of city magazine in the view.
The survey will also furnish a means of correlating the meanings of the names of the courses and their content. The universities in which a certain number of hours of public instruction will be required for graduation will also be noted.
A comparison of the number of students enrolled in political science to the entire number enrolled in the mathematics course will help me make the popularity of the courses.

Miss McMullen gave songs from the German, Fronch, English and Italian schools. "The German group was specially well given," said Dean Swarthout, "showing careful regal manner and the general spirit of the songs."
"In the English group, a song, Lichmann's *Magnadine* at Michel's Gate, made a special appeal to the audience."
Miss McMullen received many flowers and was generously applauded after each number. Miss Millar accused Miss McMullen in all ten numbers.
Miss Frances Robinson, violinist,
was the notating artist. "Miss Robinson
who is always a favorite with
Lawrence evidences, displayed a

League Creates Reserve
Wyoming Elk to Be Protected in Jackson Hole Country
Historical Documents
Rock Springs, Wyo. Jan. 13 — Never again shall the "Tragedy of Jackson Hole" devastate the herds of boars out in bamboos by starvation
That is the degree of the Isaac Walton League of America, $950,000 strong, which has announced its purpose of buying one of the largest mine reserves in the country by buy-in match in the Jackson Hole mine.
These branches which now cover the overt slitides were once the winter leading ground of the elk. When torment of wind drove them both to rooftops they found a dwelling in the meadows, luxuriant in wild grasses.
But now when they descend 'from the snow blanketed hills they find their old feeding grounds bare, sheep and cattle having grazed over every inch of those perishing annually, foresee the unfered hard will follow the shoestail of the blossom to oblivion. Purchases of the native territory is limited. The Walton League holds, and it has bound a call to all its members to subliece to a fund with which to convert the privately owned land into a game reserve. It is estimated that it would be required to be required to give out the plan.
After the purchase, the League office to importure the Department of the Interior to set aside all grazing rights held by the ranchers and to restrict the ranges to a fall feeding ground for elk. Closing of the district taxonomized entry will also permit the elimination of sportmen, is a natural feeding ground for elk and not a profitable riding country.
