Movie Censorship to Be Live Issue at Club Meeting
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
(United Press)
Convention of Federation of Women's Clubs to Be at Los Angeles This Year
Washington, May 12. What should he the women of the United States do about the movie censorship? "Promotes to be a live subject at the coming biennial convention of the Genocide Club in Angeles, June 2-13."
The federation has indorsed state
bureau, but not federal censorship—but has not pushed the subject.
The women have on their Los Angeles program a visit to Hollywood and the studios. Certain movie stars of "spoocited reputations" will appear on the program.
Resolution Adopted
At the Hot Springs biennial conference in 1918 a new introduction, by Mrs. A. H. Finn of Delaware, was presented that has never been read. It is read.
"That the General Federation re-
commend that women in the various

Will Fight for Censorship
It is understood in federation societies here that the present temper of the press will discourage the credibility that the censorship will come again and a big fight made, Mrs. Steinm, the author of the 1918 resolution, says that the work of Mrs. Attery Lilly of New York, a supporter of Ms. Mcdougal Chapman, appointed immediately after the federation's resolution for censorship in Hot Springs, has not worked in the interest of the resolution, but in the interest of Mr. Chapman, who he says, "is a serious matter."
The Finn faction is now ready, it stated, to make a fight for federal supervision in the shape of a bill for the regulation of horse racing along the line if the Ushapaw bill, indorsed by the National Motion Picture Conference held in Washington in February, and produced shortly afterward in the

K. U. Candidates in 1868 "Must Be Over 12"—Board and Room $4 a Week, Says Old Catalog
"Candidates for admission to this course shall be over 12 years of age, and must pass an examination in the following studies: Orthography, penmanship, reading, mental arithmetic, elements of geography, and written arithmetic over to interest," says one of the opening paragraphs of the annual catalog of 1867 for the University of Kanaas."
"Students must present a satisfactory excuse for every absence from class before they will be permitted to return. Any member receiving 10 marks for absence without good excuse shall cease to be a member of the University." reads another paragraph.
Further along we read: "Students must not absent themselves from town without permission from the president." And "Board and room may be had with private families for $4 per week."
All the above information occupies a more or less prominent position in the second annual catalog of the University of Kansas, under date of 1857, a copy of which was recently brought to light from out of the archives of the museum by C. D. Barker, assistant curator.
Included in the material on the 28 pages of the catalog are a list of the board of regents, numbering 14; a list of the faculty, numbering seven and headed by John Frauer, A. M. president and chancellor.
The other faculty members were: David H. Robinson, A. M.; Frank H. Snow, A. M.; John Horner, A. M; Peter L. Spencer, A. M.; Albert Newman, M. D. The latter is listed as a lecturer upon hygiene, proving that the present hygiene classes under the nuples of the de-ionized or physical training are no modern fad.

Professor Gilkinson Talks on Forensics to Women's Forum
Says Coach
K. U. Lacks Interest in Debate by Being Over-Organized,
"Overorganization on the Hill is probably the reason why the University of Kansas does not take more interest in debating societies," said Professor Bryan A. Giklinson, of the public speaking department in his bachelor's course in the University at 430 West 20th Street in 290 Fraser hall. The professor of Professor Giklinson's talk was "College and Intercollegiate Forensics." He explained that there were three kinds of forensic work, declamation, oratory and debate. Debate is the greatest value as it trains the mind to a greater degree, develops personality, and portrays person's capacity for organization.
"There is little effort to train the students in the classroom. The efforts of the department are limited because of the number of as many students as possible, not to train the individual. Oratory at the University of Kansas has not been developed because the foundation has not been adequate. The purpose of our active debating societies at the University of Kansas is that other organizations take their place. Debates are not well attended because the questions of debate are not of interest," said Professor Skiklonn.
"In the University of Kansas, this erotic situation is not all that I should be. Three will have to be a recival of interest before we can succeed. This interest will have to be stimulated by varied programs, a wider field of opponents and more delivery," said Professor Gilkinson.
A Chinese restaurant in New York City leases its hat checking privilege for $12,000 a year. At that, insiders say the concession will pay profits of $10,000 a year. The usual system is to make the check girls wear tight collars so they can't hide their tips, which usually have to be turned in. The tipping system will pass as soon as the man estimates that each hat costs him $50 in tips before he wears it out.

all, with the home address of each individual. By 1872 the total enrollment at the University had increased from seven to 10.
Out of the 105 students enrolled in the University the second year of its existence, 65 were registered from Lawrence. Since there was no additional fee for out-of-the-state students, all were no doubt born dome bim. Some students represented in the student box by eight members, Kannau, May, etion, Monoka, Richland, Olathe, Savoie, Grant, Burlingame, and Iola were the other Kansas towns represented. But this heavy local enrollment does not mean that the University was not known outside the state. One student was enrolled from New Bedford Mass. N.Y. and one from New York State.
In 1872 the states of Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri,
Colorado territory, Minnesota,
and the District of Columbia, England,
and Canada were all represented in
the student body.
In these early years of the University's existence, the annual tuition fee was $10, with an exemption provision that limited the number of citizens killed in Quandell's raid.
Those who aspired to a college education in the early seventies had more to fear from examinations than the student of today. According to the old catalogs, entrance examinations were given at the opening of school in September, examinations were given at the end of each semester, and at the end of the given semester, when the student was given permission to enter the entire year's work. Examinations were both oral and written.
But to make up for this, in addition to the holiday vacation, a one week's resse was given during the summer instructor, beginning about March 20.

Kansas Cleanup Week Will Be Biggest Ever Say Those in Charge
Commercial Clubs, Boy Scouts and Other Organizations Aid in Plans
Aid in Plans
Topika, May 2 - Indications are that Kansas cleanup week this spring, which in accordance with a proclamation from the governor is due to begin on Saturday by far the biggest and most effective event of its character ever undertaken in the state. Letters from mayors from Kansas and proclamation from commercial heads, clubs, boy scouts, and others who have been asked to take leadership in the grant campaign indicate the growing opportunity has reached the fewest.
Since communities have been informed through the newspapers and through literature sent broadcast that 134 persons died in flames in Kansas last year, that the property of 125 persons died in a community disease practically all of which could have been prevented, the state's population seems to have arisen to a determination to rid communities of menaces to health, life, and property. They have imbbed the cleanup effort and the need to modify their mindset that create disastrous fires and breed death-dealing contagion. Co-ordination of the state board of health of which Dr. Milton O. Naylor is secretary and Elmer E. Scott state fire marshal, is appealing to the governor to send a message and there is abundant evidence that the two department are to receive the greatest possible co-operation.
these results are expected from this spring's cleanup drive, the two department heads believe.

Ruined Cellar Opposite Fraser Original Beginning of Commons Noted for Its Beans and Pie
"Brick's of Bygone Days" is about the only name that the students to day give to the little cavel-r-circ across the road east of Frauer hall. But that little cavel was the historical beginning of the Commons. For on that spot in 1808 or 1899 the far famed sweetened baked beans and beignets came in exhibition. It was bave that Billy's Prairie Test can serve to serve the needs of the University students.
Billy Reynolds was the owner of the little restaurant. Mrs. Bentty and Reynolds ran the place. The full capacity of Billy's was only 20 or 30 persons, and every noon found a waitlist behind the counter.
Mrs. Beatty had a way of sweetening baked beans and serving them in such fine style that they were able to eat them with a berry pie that Mrs. Beatty would cook still brings food memories to a number of the faculty who were here
"The Chancellor would many times be found catting baked beans with some University man at Biy's," said Earlier Cook well recently. "In three days we all liked to go to her home and when the check from home was delayed, we imposed on her gc志愿服务. For Mrs. Beauty, like Bily himself, to whom she was loyalty devoted, to whom she was loyalty dedicated, and she tamed more than one million customers, she was waiting to hear from home."
Billy at first had what he termed an Eatmobil. This was a little car fitted up with white cased tables and seats. Every evening would find the street closed with many good streets with many good things to eat. The city restaurants objected to it.⁴

Nomad Artist Visits Here
Richard Erdmann's Sketches Pay Expenses
A nomad artist, from Greenwich Village, by name Richard Erwinman, has arrived in Lawrence and is visiting Prof. Charles G. Dunlap, Mr. Marvin Trent, paying his expense by drawing pencil portraits of people. His favorite method is to choose an easy chair in the lobby of a hotel, sketch some man unawares and present him with his portrait; for a consideration
Mr. Erdmann is a graduate of the Cincinnati Art Academy, and has studied at the Art Students' League in New York. He graduated from New York. He finished his work in New York eight months ago. Portrait painting is his speciality. On Feb. 14 he left Chillicothe, Ohio, to begin a $20,000 mileage in his rockbook
Until the end of school, Mr. Erdmann will be in Lawrence sketch profiles. He says he prefers to sketcher man, rather than women." The women sometimes object to having double chins, put in pictures when they belong there," was his explanation.
A business show was held recently in San Francisco. The object of the exhibition was to assemble under one roof all kinds of competitive office equipment in order to foster all that needs to the efficient handling of business.

The show was not conducted for the purpose of selling but for educating. There was no charge for admission and it was exclusively invitational. Different days were set for the different business schools in the different nearby business schools and the economists from the University of California attended.

In 1898 or 1899 Billy rented a small piece of ground from Mr. Watkins and started the Oread Ca'co. This was always the name of the cafe but popular usage of "Billy" was that it nearly began for the original name.
Me, Beatty is said to have had her own ideas of keeping up the morale of the place, and her own idea of opening a door between the tiny dining hall and the tinker kitchen quilted mary an incipient riot when feeling run high between the laws and the gritty grip of grinding grassy sprawling over her counters either. "Bertha are fifty cents extra," she announced crisply to an astounded freshman woman who was partly reclining on the broad oak table.
Billy Reynolds died June 25, 1907. But the little cafe continued in charge of Mrs. Beatty until the lair was wanted by the Warkins estate, from which the lease was held, and the building was removed into the residence district and converted into a modern home.
After a lapse of time, Billy's was succeeded by a student cafeteria, conducted by the department of home economics, in the basement of Fraser hall. It also had an all too brief existence, and nothing of the kind had ever taken its place until the erection of the University Commons But "Billy" was with the old guard, because of the genuine affection in which the stocky built, alert, and blue-eyed young student-promoter was held

Seats Practically Gone for Messiah; Few Left at Door
Lawrence Choir Added to by Baldwin and Kansas City Singers and Orchestra
Recommend Cushions on Seats
Special accommodations have been made, however, for some two or three hundred people with bleachers at the stage.
