Student Opinion Disapproves Encroachment of Approaches to Campus by Business Firms
Student sentiment is rising against the business interests located on the approaches to the campus, particularly on Oread avenue. According to a member of the football squad, all members of the squad have promised not to patronize the invaders of the approaches to the Alma Mattea—the person who would curb the quantity of the campus surroundings.
Anyone who has seen the approaches to the campus at Norman, Okla., or at Manhattan can readily see why such a feeling should arise. At these schools the approach to the campus is lined with small business houses—more shacks. They are the university branches of downtown apartments, one of the schools is one of business clutterers of small business buildings, instead of the panorama of residences, fraternity houses, well kept lawns and trees which have always made up the view from K. U.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has long fought this tendency to disfigure the University apachee, and the association June 5. 1924 which gives the stand of this organization It reads as follows:
"Whereas, it has come to the attention of the Chamber of Commerce that there is a tendency on the part of commercial interests to establish business places in residence districts, particularly in section 15A, subject to the Kansas, and whereas this organization believes that such intrusion of commercial occupancy is detrimental to residential property in said districts and is in conflict with the plans of the State, the board of administration and the University authorities for the pansion and authorization of the Uni- tionals, and in addition maries the beauty of the University's surroundings.
Therefore, be it resolved by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce that we condemn this abuse of rail districts as being in contempt of the law and pledge our best efforts to prevent it in every legitimate way possible."
A large number of the members of the Merchants Association bureau have signed an agreement not to invade, the University districts unless compelled to do so by outside interest; going in first.
When the latest addition to the "uglies" announced their intention of establishing a branch of its Kansas City house near the campus, Chancellor Lindley had to invade Mount Greed. The result of the interview, according to several reliable sources, was that he was politely told to mind his own business, that the firm cared nothing for the project and decided to get the almighty dollar in its present location if it so desired.
Tollefson Writing Thesis
Political Science Instructor Studies U. S. Courts
Mr. Tollefon has completed the course and resident work for his doctor's degree at the University of Minnesota, and he is a faculty member in the University of North Dakota.
He has had experience in law practice, being a member of the bar in North Dakota and Minnesota. After receiving the degree of LL. B. from the University of Minnesota in 1921, he practiced law for two years.
Architecture Students Treat Their Freshmen
During the war Mr Tolefson was in France with the United States engineers. He has been teaching at the University of Minnesota during that year.
The students of architecture held a rect-together for the freshman students of the department last night, in the engineering building. Between forty and forty-five students were present.
A. M. Tollefson, new instructor in the department of political science, is now working on the thesis for Lisbeth doctor's degree. He has made extensive investigation of the federal courts, his thesis being, "A Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions by the Federal Courts."
Such is the spirit of the new-omers.
The method used to make all of the students acquainted was to have each new student give his name and home town before the others. After the introductions, the students adjourned for refreshments.
When asked to give his excitement on the subject a leading clothing merchant of Lawrence said, "I hesitate to say anything for four the students will think our light is against our confrontation with the shady stand. A man can get his bread and butter from the University without getting at the same time some school spirit. We love the University in the same way you do and we hate to see the entrance cluttered with people. If a branch we could have done so long ago. As for the latest intruding firm, we would welcome it to meet us in fair and square competition in the business section, but we naturally resort to establishing which branch will be in territory we have tried so long to keep free from business interests.
"It is going to force our brands, and leave only one thing for us to do—establish branches on our properties along the approaches to the HILL. There are five other firms who now control such sites and they are going to do the same. You can see what the result will be. It will cost money to establish branches, and there is no use in our saying we don't care for the money. We have always backed K. U.; We hauched the stadium, we back the Jahnwecker and the Kanman, and we want to back them. We get ours from the students and we like to back their enterprises. How much do we need overhead, and doubled overhead means decreased expenditures. That's the hard and fast financial end of it."
Another merchant summed up the effects of the building up of a branched section in these four points:
First: Such a procedure would mar the beauty of Mount Oread and interfere with the State's plan for "sacrifice beautification of the area."
Second: It would block expansion of the campus to meet future growth of the University.
Third: It would lower the value of fraternity and residential property nearby.
Fourth: It would be directly contrary to the wishes of the Chuehne and all persons and organizations in the welfare of the University.
These expressions indicate in a fair way the sentiment of the business men, all of whom are supporters of K. U. The Chancellor's attitude is well known. The student body is behind the channel behind the business men who have interests of the students at heart.
Jayhawks do not welcome ramshackle commercialism on Mount Oread.
Bacchanal Decoration Disconcert Freshman
As he fed, the freshman's mind was filled with fragmentary images of what he had just seen. Startling figures clad Adam-fashion vied with brightly-colored Egyptian arches for vividness; ruins of the Roman colosseum, bracelyn Bacchus scene, a Western farmyard in basilica, an ancient Greek decorations and futuristic dabs all formed part of the ambled mental picture.
All in all the freshman's first visit to the workshop of the men who in the future will design our great buildings and elaborate memorials was a distinct shock occasioned by a too sudden departure from the stair, conventional atmosphere of the average college classroom.
"Great Balls of Modi!" muttered the disconcerted man as he hastened down the stairs of the "engine house" after a hictic visit to the architectural department's third floor domain.
Electricals Hold First Meeting
The local student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held its first meeting of the year Thursday night. The need was of an informal nature and the purpose was the aid of the organi-

French Have Hard Time With "Dawes"
(United Press)
Pierce, Francis. Charles G Dawes is a plain spoken man, but his name is not very plain to the French. Some of the more radical members of the Chamber of Deputies want to call him by his sobriquet; "Hell and Maria" being easier in French than "Dawes."
Difficulties have arisen in Parim-
before in the attempt to Galicise
words and names from the
English. It took the members a long time to get on to "Wilson" and "Lloyd George." But "Dawson" is a linguistic leap that nearly all French tongues trip over.
There is of course, no "w" in the French alphabet. H. Herriot usually says "dose," M. Reibel pronounces it "t'house." M. Le Treoquer favors "douce," M. Louis Marin murmures "daves," M. Louis Lubois leans to "davee," and M. Guy de Monteney resigns報息 to "Davee."
What some of the die-hard Conservatives apply to that name can not be translated.

Black Helmet and Sphinx Societies to Be Disbanded
Misappropriation of Funds by Old Members Reason for Action by Council
The Sphinx and Black Helmet societies, freshman and sophomore "honorary" organizations, respectively, were ordered oustand d for the remainder of this semester by the action of the M m's Student Council in special meeting last night. The treason was against the purpose of been proven misappropriation of funds by members of the Sphinx society.
At the meeting of the Sphinx this week, an initiation fee is said to have been collected in excess of the authorized amount, the difference being pocketed by the initiating members, and the fees paid to the treasurer of student organizations *at* the business office.
Return Money to Treasurer
Steps were immediately taken to verify the report which resulted in the action of the Men's Student Council last night. A motion, which was approved and passed, provided that all old Sphinx members present at a meeting report be held at the money collected and return the money collected by them from the initiated freshmen. This money and the money already turned in to the treasurer will be returned to the freshmen.
It was also ruled that the Sohain society be divested of organization for one semester. If at the end of that time, it cannot show sufficient reason for existence to the Student Council, it will be permanently disorganized. The Black Helmet society suffered an identical ruling.
Societies Must Distand
In order to enforce the two regulations, the council passed a motion that members of any hometown society from initial members exceeding the amount designated by the council will be suspended from school for one semester. The council specifies that the initiation assessment for such organizations shall not be greater than $3.
"The council is co-operating to the fullest extent with the treasury of the community and to ensure its rightly help in collecting money appropriated by outgoing Sphinx monastery," said Floyd McCumb, secretary of the council today.
May Pro-Rate Fees
If the ifcaging members of the Sphinx do not turn in the amount collected from the initiates, total amount will be pro-rated among outgoing members at the meeting.
The total collected at this week's meeting is known to those in charge of the investigation as well as those who attended the meeting. It will be necessary for those who collected the money to return it to the transurer of student organizations by Friday of next week, or be denied the privilege of attending classes, until such money is checked in.
