With Banquet at White
House; Taft
Presides
Dean H. A. Arant, of the School of Law, was a guest at a reception given by President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge at the White House, Feb. 23, for the members of the American Civil Liberties Union which was held in Washington, D. C.
The program for the entertainment of the 350 lawyers, judges, and teachers of law who were present at the institute included a banquet Saturay Café Justice Chief Justice Taff presided and Secretary Justice Faville of the Iowa supreme court, and Justice Cardozo of the New York court of appeals, spoke.
Institute Organized in 1923
The American Law Institute was organized to restate the law with a view to making it less complex and less uneasy.
The plan is to have each subject of the law stated by a man who is a specialist in that field. Each of such specialists will have "dozen on more other specialists in a given field. A statement of law is drafted, then discussed by the whole body and reissued until the whole body is satisfied with it. It is then submitted to the membership of the law Dean Arant, in adoption, according to Dean Arant.
Hope to Make Law More Certain "It is the hope of the profession that the existence of an authoritative body in the judicial system will effect of causing judges in all jurisdiction to decide cases, involving the same question, in the same way, thus eliminating the conflict of views between lawyers and uncerain," said Dean Arant today.
"It is also the hope that those things in the law which are archaic and obsolete will be eliminated, and should be preserved so as to institute that it will influence the simplification of procedure both civil and criminal, eliminating technicalities as far as possible to the end that the laws remain certain," according to Dean Arant

of Kansas, who is one of the abstent
of the Middle West judges, was
appointed a member of the council
of the institute at this meeting, said
Dean Arnt.
Singer Will End Program With Group of American Songs
"The progress of the institute during the first year of its organization gives to the judiciary and the profession a great deal of hope that much improvement to the law will result. "Snowboarding has been the efforts of the Institute that the Carnegie Foundation has donated $107,050 to carry on the work of the institute for the next ten years."
"The seat sale for the Wererran recital is starting briskly, with numerous inquiries from neighboring towns," said Dean Donald M. Swarthout this morning. "No recital in recent years has given more satisfaction than the one he gave on the University Concert Course a few years ago."
The outstanding feature of Werenrath's program is the group of American songs which always closes his recital. According to Dean Swarthout, the group most noteworthy songs direct from the publishers, which are chosen for their sterling qualities and popular appeal. "Werenrath's programs are attractive and his performance is excellent. It is doubtful if any young American are popular," said Dean Swarthout.
Individual tickets are on sale at true office of the School of Fine Arts and at the Round Corner Drug Store now. There is a number of good seas still available.

Final Sales Campaign for 1924 Jayhawker Ends Last of Week
Group of Salesmen Canvas Entire Student District for Business
The second day of the final Jayhawk sales campaign opened Tuesday with fifty salesmen canvassing students and distributing district in order that every student may have an opportunity to buy a Jayhawk before Feb. 29. Fridy will be the latest date at which students will receive an opportunity to buy a 1924 book.
"I do not say that every student, and member of the faculty should like a fair enough proposition," remarked Prof. L. N. Flint, a member of the Jayhawk advisory board, today. "但我 do say that every one should like it. The book should buy it this week. It is manifestly impossible to put out an annual unless the total sales can be known before the final order is given."
"The 1924 Jayhawker deserves to be a best seller. It should be on the shelves of every foot shelf and every woman's book. I know of the book it will be more interesting than a tale of romance; but it is as appealing than one's favorite classic."
"There should be no Jayhawkers in May for those who respect to buy flats in the city," said Flint. There will be no Jayhawkers available after the present sales campaign is brought to a close, according to the committee in charge.
The contents and the make-up of this year's Jayhawk were explained to the members of the advisory board at their meeting last week, by Frank Rising, editor of the 1924 Jayhawk. The book that is being published in any urgency among those published in any other school in this school or by any other school in the Valley, according to members of the advisory board.

'Christian May Be Athlete'----W D A F Hearers Are Told
Dr. Naismith Says Athletic and Religion Express Two Phases of Individuality
That a Christian can be an athlete and an athlete a Christian was the theme of a talk by Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball and professor of physics at Harvard University in Kansas, in a radio talk from station WDAF Monday night on the subject "Athletics and Religion."
"In the early ninety's a young theological student was publicly enforced for playing on a college football team, because it was 'n God's Game and one that no Christian should encourage."
"Athetics and religion are expressions of different phases in human history. Doctor Naismith, "and they are perfectly compatible and mutually necessary."
Football Once Thought Godless
The antagonism between the Church and athletes is older than the Christian religion, according to Dr. Nalismith. The Christians of to-day were more interested in Hebrews; and they were a people which took little or no interest in sports of any kind. Athletics come from Greece who had some very advanced ideas of various sports. In the case of the Greeks, athletics were considered superior, as they were associated with some of their religious ceremonies.
Many Athletes Have Been Christians
"no life and work of a number of acknowledged athletes show that Jesus is God," said that a Christian can be an athlete, "contored Doctor Naismith. "Stagg of Yale, Elliot of Northwestern, Robert of Texas, John of Knox, Seeklen and Kelleberg of Iowa, and others too numerous to mention, naved the way for a closer relationship between athletics and Religion."

The performance will start promptly at 8:15, according to Craig Kennedy, manager.
"The big problem of athletics have been to hinder its range so that every man would have a chance to participate in athletic activity. In Kansas City there are this basketball season 300 players in organized amateur leagues Many of these represent Sunday games and practice in their own buildings
"Athletic activity directed by Christian ideals is bound to have a wholesome effect on all participants." "Religion can be of great value to athletics, and athletes can be a splendid servant of religion. These two working hand in hand for the common object of making a better mankind."

Professor Queen Talks on Reform of Prison System
Advocates Period of Parol and Individual Treatment in Managing Persons Guilty of Crime
Kansas CIT, Mo. Feb 25.—No prisoner should go directly from prison to freedom, but first should have a period of parole under careful supervision," said Stuart A. Queen professor of sociology at the University of Kansas, in a talk here today on the Social Workers' Conference.
Modern Systems Needed in Prisons
"A modern prison system, such as hardly exists in any state today, will become unworkable in the hands of a state department, supervised by an unpaid, nonpartisan board whose members serve long terms. The chief executive and the staff will be under civil service."
"When persons are arrested, they will be tried promptly, and if found guilty, they may be sent or sent to a state institution which is to serve as a receiving station. There they will be studied to determine whether the complaint that will reform them, or, if that is impossible, protect society against their further depressions."
Professor Queen named five characteristics of a constructive system of prison management, as follows:
1. It must be completely divorced from partisan politics, and all positions must be filled on a merit basis.
2. Prison officials must have_a special training in sociology and psychiatry.
3. The men and women in their charge
3. All control of jails must give way to a centralized management, and all serving of sentences in city and county jails must stop.
4. The court must be authorized for prisoners, for no two are alike.
5. The court must be restricted to determination of guilt; the decision as to a when prisoner is reformed, that is, curred, must be made by those who execute his progress while under restraint.

Kansas-Aggie Debate of Unusual Interest-- Says Coach Gilkinson
K. U. to Use One-Judge System for First Time; F. B. Ross Willie
"The debate between Kansas and Manhattan which will be held in Fraser chapel, Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p., m. promises to be of unusual interest," conf. B. A. Giklenko of the department of public speaking his morning.
The question "Resolved that the United States should enter the permanent court of international justice," said Gov. Scott Walker, will be used in the debate against the University of Pennsylvania here April 16. U.S.队 will defend a defensive side.
This is the first men's debate before several years. It is taking the place of the women's debates that have been held for the last few years. The college men's debate, the rectius Pence, and Flyd Wright, Pence and Alden have both had experience on high school debating teams, and Wright has participated in five in-14 contests.
According to Coach Gilkinson the team has been meeting every day for practice and competitive practice has been defined, and the team defended the affirmative side of the question against Missouri. By the time of the debate, the team will be ready to play.
"We can expect strong competition from the Manhattan team which is coached by A. B. Summers, formerly of Park College, who has turned out several successful teams. Other men in the department helping prepare the K. S. A. C. squad for the state championship Shin, both formerly of the department of public speaking of K. U.," said Professor Gilkinson.
A new system of judging will be used. Instead of three there will be only one judge, Prof. F. H. Rous. He is the director of the State Teachers College of Emporia. This is the first time that Kansas has used this system. It is hoped by those in charge of the desegregation process to be by their attendance that they are backing and supporting their team. Try-outs to select the members of the Oklahoma and Colorado debating teams were held at a.m. in the Little Theater. "A six-minute affirmative or negative speech should be prepared on the question "Resolved that France is justified if Germany invades her valley," and Pro-esser Gilkman.
Prof. M. T. Van Hecky, Prof. a E. Hellen, and Prof. B. A. Gilkinson will choose the teams.

Ousted M. U. Man May Be Allowed to Enter Kansas
Provisional Registration Is Obtained by St. Louis Student; Others May Enter
BULLETIN
"We have refused to enroll Ward H. Goodow, a former M. U. student, on the basis of inequality to enroll in the school he left," said Dean J. G. Brandt this afternoon.
Ward H. Goodwin, St. Louis, recently suspended from the University of Missouri as a result of the liquor charges there, was provisionally registered in the University of Missouri to be added to a statement from the Registrar.
The case is up for discussion at present, and no definite action has been taken in regard to Goodow or those who may attempt to follow suit.
Seven men and five women were suspended as a result of an inquiry by the Missouri authorities following reports that a drinking party was in progress at the Daniel Boone Tavern Friday night, Feb. 22.
"Candidates from other educational institutions will not be admitted to the University unless they can be readmitted to the school from which they come," said George O. Foster, executive director of honorable dismissal at the convention of registrars of state schools in Topeka, Feb. 2.
"Since milder measures have been ineffective it has been decided to require the students concerned to attend classes at the rest of the semester." said Stratton D. Brooks, president of the University of Missouri, in a statement made after the affair. "They have failed to report their education to the university and will be re-admitted on the assurance of proper conduct." "In regard to the recent occurrences at the University of Missouri, we are deeply disappointed for drinking and one for inviting a girl to go to a place where he believed liquor would be served. We are especially disappointed others for being out unchaperoned after hours," the statement continued.
Devised to Avoid Confusion of Travelers
Date Line Instituted
Passengers on vessels crossing the Pacific ocean face a daim to America at the end of this month may have the opportunity to date letters, "AT our arrival," which will allow the possibility of so doing will be a privilege to those who cross the International Date Line. Line, eastward bound, on Feb. 29. The date line, which follows the 180th meridian of longitude and the 15th equator, is a device for avoiding the confusion which would otherwise result if two travelers to Australia went by different routes, one going east, the other west, would, if no channelling was made, find themselves a day apart when they arrived in the Antipodes.
For example, when it is noon in Washington, it is 3 a. m. in Melbourne. Could one travel there instantly by going east, he would call it 3 a. m. tomorrow, for midnight would have been passed on the way, so he would be ready to be today. To prevent this confusion, the date line was instituted, and vessels crossing it westwards drop a day that those traveling east repeat whatever day it happens to be. Going west and crossing the date line on Feb. 29, the next day would be filled in. On March 1, the day would be repeated or else another day inserted before March 1.
Such a coincidence can come only in leap years, and cases are on record where, instead of calling the inserted day, Feb. 29, it has been December 31. In the near future, the opportunity for such an extraordinary date recurs again.
Hugh Pendergaer, C. E., 21, returned to Lawrence last Friday to spend a few days in the city under Pendergaer's department of Kansas City, Mo.
