Duties of Work in Jones Store Company Told by Educational Director
Miss Ada G. Hoston, educational director of the Jones' Store Company of Kansas City, Mo., and a graduate of the Prince school in Boston, which trains a limited number of women for educational work in large department stores, gave the final task of the Vocational Conference Wednesday night in the auditorium of the Administration building.
"It is difficult to train the many different types of women you come in contact with but it is very fascinating," said Miss Heaton. "In the two years I have been with the Jones Academy I have never had two days alike."
Work Is Fascinating
Miss Hesse tests the ability of the clerks by going up to them as a customer and asking for certain articles. She said it was surprising to see how little they know about the goods they are selling. She gave them instructions, then placed at the ribbon counter and whose sales had fallen off, seemed to be failing completely in her work. Miss Hesse called her in conference and asked why she did not do better, to which the girl replied that she hated ribbons. The girl was placed at the notion counter where she preferred to be and her sales began to pick up immediately.
Some Stores Well Equipped Miss Heaton told of several stores where physical education classes were held for the benefit of their employees. Some stores have regular hospitals and dentists' offices where all of customers will be employees. Marshall Fold's in Chicago has been widely commended for its charial work done by the employees.
The larger stores now are demanding college graduates and women of trained intelligence. The opportunities are now greater than ever before for women entering into such work. Miss Helen attenuates at least one year's training in some professions, so she is well prepared to school in Boston. From this school you are paired in a position and start with a salary of not less than $2,000.
Miss Helen warms girls' not t,
make the profession they choose us
merely a marker of time or a maze
of waiting for a price changing.
High Salaries Received
Men would rather employ women than men when they are prefetted in the job market, as said in the there are some lines, as in the advertising line, in which women excel and receive salaries as much as $10,000 a year. No matter in which part of the store you are employee of the first things to remember is to be tactful and patient, she said
In speaking of the vocational conference Mrs. Dora Bryant, assistant Dean of women, said: 'it was a tremendously interesting attempt to help the girls decide on what their vocation in life should be, as well as an insight into what they might be getting into."

Night Shirt Parade Had Origin in Annual Fight Between Hill Students and Town Toughs
Many customs have originated since the University of Kansas was established on Mount Oread. Some of these customs have survived, while others have fallen by the wavside.
in the year 1856, Ames A. Lawrence, a noted New England philanthropist, started the foundation of the new Free State University. It was not until 1844, however, three years after Kusakawa was admitted to the university of Kansas was granted a charter. Many easterners had settled in Kansas, and it was largely due to their offers that Kansas University was founded. Horace Greeley had written to the Chicago Tribune, following the Civil War, and described Mount Oread, setting forth the advantages it might have, and posibilities as an educational center.
Many of the traditions of this University came from the East, due to the fact that the founders were practically all Easterners, and also to the fact that the first K. U. professors came from Harvard and Yale. The first Chancellor of the University was closely associated with Amos A. Lawrence in the East before coming to Kansas.
The enrollment for the opening year exceeded fifty students. Courses were offered in medicine, law, hisory, foreign languages, arts and sciences, and preparatory work. The first class day or commencement as it is now called, was held in April 1873. Mouta coats were worn by members of the faculty and gems were first worn by the instructing class of 1897. This custom has been handed down to us and is still observed.
The name Jayhawk originated during the Civil War. Bushwishers from Missouri called the Kansas soldier a "bullseye," and they slip into their tents at night and loot them and then run. As one Mussourian says: "They copied our stuff and flew." This name has been used for years by the University of Kansas.
College athletics were sadly neglected during the opening years of the University. The first athletic contest on record was a basketball game between Notre Dame and UCLA in 1874. Topeka won the game by a close score of 69 to 57. Tennis was introduced at the University in 1884. The first football game was played in 1890. The first basketball team played in the university made its appearance in 1890.
Prentainers soon made their appearance on the campus, the first charter being granted in 1873. Polites were linked closely within the fraternity. The first, Pan-Hellenic meeting was held in 1889. This meet
Mania for Championship a Menace, Says Director
The maria for championships is the greatest menace to secondary school athletics and if permitted a continue will sound the death knell of high school football, in the opinion of William S. Geer, director of physical education at Harvard University, in an auction on Wednesday, the convention of the American Physical Association at Atlantic City, N. J., April 14.
Cap and Gown Deadline April 18
Friday, April 18, is the deadline set for the ordering of caps and gowns by the senior senator. If not Frank Sull, chairman of the budget committee, the senior fee must be paid whether the cap and gown is ordered or not. There are still many seniors who have not yet made their orders and the deadline will be strictly enforced.
"The mania for championship, the opportunity for cross country jambles, the need of funds to reward members of teams by sending them on trips," all advisors in distant cities and agreement to give coaches a percentage of the gate receipts to the post-season games, all combine to create a condition which, if performed correctly, will do the死knell of high school football," he said.
The track team of Occidental College from Los Angeles, Calif., arrived in Lawrence Thursday morning for the Kansas Relays. Twelve men made up the party, ten members of the team, the coach, and a trainer who prepared at the PHL Chi House, where the members will continue their studies.
Western Team Here
ing was largely the result of agreements between fraternities who had been fighting each other. K. U's first orchestra originated in the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. The first Glee Club was organized in 1886.
K. S. A. C. faculty have decided not to wear caps and gowns at the senior commencement this year. The exponent involved in the following of this custom is the reason for its abandonment.
In recent years we have established new traditions for this University. We now have the Uncle Jimmy Green Day, also the banquet. On this day all Law students wear wing collars, and the seniors get into their best canes. The Law Serim is formed annually, although changed somewhat from the original. This is intended primarily to honor the football men. The Junior Prom is also an annual affair, originating in 1805.
There is one tradition of this University that is closely observed. It has always been customary since the Crimson and Blue was adopted as the official song, to stand with hand heard when it is played or sung. The colors of the University are red, yellow and blue, the athletes association. The first weekly publication appeared in 1874. It was called the "Observer of Nature." Many others including weeklies, and monthly papers appeared on the hill. It was not until 1912, however, that the University Daily Kansas appeared. The first annual published by the senior class came out in 1873. By the end of that year, many different names were given the succeeding ones, the name Jayhawk finally being adopted as the official publication of the senior class.
There is one tradition, along with the Crimson and Blue, that will live forever, at least in the minds and hearts of students and graduates. This is the famous K. U, yell. One can well doubt the vigorous loyalty of the student body to the University, where you learn by experience U Yell. One common sentiment of love, pride, and exhultation seeks expression in the words Rock, ... Chalk, ... Jay ... Hawk, ... K, ... U
There are numerous other tradition of the University. It has always been the custom that students must not wear any high school pins, and they are required to wear other paraphranathia, while on the Hill. Fresh caps are always the vogue in the fall. They generally appear about the second week of school, and must be worn until after Thanksgiving. The penalty would be a fine. The pennants were made pike crafted out of the "town and gown fight." It was an annual custom for the "Hill men" to take on the "town ruffians." As a result much property was destroyed every year. This overburdenment led to a reputation to what in the past years. This annual affair always comes after the first home football game.
Licenses to Bear K. U. Colors
The 1925 state automobile licenses tags are to be printed in the crimson and blue colors of the University of Kansas, according to Frank J. Ryan, secretary of state. The two colors are to be run diagonally across the face of the licenses. Mr. Ryan has written that the tags will be the colors of the other state institutions. For 1920 the tags will be ordered in the blue and white colors of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
