VOLUME XXI
Permanent World Court of Justice Is Needed--Arant
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE. KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1924
Relationship of Learners and Court Misunderstands by Most People, Says Dean
"The Permanent Court or international Justice which now exists, with fifty-four nations to be an institution badly needy," the Arent. The School of Law, speaking at the women's open forum *Thur'y* afternoon. "However, I do not propose a world court as a pancaster for all existing in the world today, for whom can be that," continued Dean Arent.
"It is a self-evident fact that the United States has been steadily drawn into closer economic and social relations with European countries and has become aware against foreign entanglements. The time has arrived when our economic welfare and prosperity depends upon the welfare and prosperity of other nations. The United European countries are enjoying property. The present low price which the farmer receives for many of his products results from the utter economic advantage of nations to buy," said Dean Arant.
When we have the close economic and social relationships which exist between the United States and foreign countries today, it is essential that we have a code of rules governing these relationships," the speaker said. The next step is the establishment of rules that rules can be applied and international differences and misunderstandings adjusted.
Code of Rules Needed
People Need Educating
"Every President of the United States since McKinley has favored some form of an international court. The late President Harding, though a liberal leader, opposed to the League of Nations strongly favored co-operation in international affairs. The United States is on record as favoring judicial settlement of disputes instead of resorting to war. It is an American tradition."
People Need Educating
"The world court is suffering because many people think that entering the United States would be a violation of Nations. The people of the United States turned down both the League and the court because they did not understand them, and it will take much education and enlightenment to change their minds. We absolutely no reason for us not co-operating in this matter. The importance of the world court has been demonstrated in the recent settling of a question practically as vital as war." The World War," continued the dean.
The attention of those who think we can successfully remain aloof and disregard foreign affairs is called to action. We have succeeded in into the last great war, against our will. The history has evidently arrived when we must accept our share of the world.
Dean Arant emphasized the fact that to enter the Permanent court of International Justice does not mean joining the League of Nations. Also, an ontional member of the court, thus the privilege of deciding for itself whether or not it will present its problems to the court for settlement. On the other, as compulsory, basis of membership, if either of two nationals is sentenced by a court the question of dispute to the word court, the other must agree to do so.
Women's Swimming Meet for Classes to Be Soon
A class swimming meet for women is being planned by Miss Ruth Hoover, instructor in physical education, for Wednesday, April 9.
Tryouts will be held and teams chosen. Practice hours will be assigned and will be necessary for the swimmers to attend at the scheduled hour for their class, just as they are offered for class teams in other sports.
One hundred W. A. A. points will be awarded to each woman on the teams and fifty additional points will be given to the championship team.
No. 105
This class meet is entirely separate from the individual meet which is to be held Tuesday, March 11.
City Engineers to Meet in "Three Day School
Dates for the third annual "Three Day School" for city sanitary officials were announced today by Prof A. H. Jewell, sanitary engineer for the state board of health and director of the water and sewage laboratory Dates selected are April 15, 16, and 17.
Water works officials this year will be given laboratory practice in the simpler forms of bacterological and chemical laboratories, speakers of national reputation, by superintendent of Kansas water members will complete the programs.
Ukranian Chorus Here With Fifty Members in Concert March 31
Swarthout Enabled to Make Engagement by Reason of Open Date
The Ukrainian National Chorus was contracted with the University for a concert here Monday, March 31. This is one of the greatest choral organizations in the world, having fifty in membership.
It was by chance that the chorus had an open date while touring this section of the States. Donald Mr. Marsh, a music professor at Arts, was able to make arrangements with Max Rabinoff, manager of the chorus, without danger of a defeat in handling the concert. This was an unpleasant experience all hopes of getting the Ukrainian chorus here. The expense they incur and the guarantee they customarily must reserve prohibitive. When Mr. Rabinoff told him about the chorus under a special contract, I felt that it would be an injustice to the music lovers of Lawrence and University to not accept. The terms such that there can be no default.
"This group appears in national costume and devotes the evening to unaccompanied vocal work that is be yond descriptions in beauty and exe I am able to predict a most sensational and worthwhile program.
"It is my earnest hopes that the students and citizens will be alive to the merits of the world famous Shakespeare street with a capacity house."
Plan a Debate Over Radio
Schools Will Present Novelty in Forsenic Circles
At least 200,000 persons will hear a debate between the University of California and the University of Florida. If the debate will be the first of its kind ever recorded, the students will speak as though they were together in a public auditorium, although they will be separated by a distance of 70 miles.
The subject will be the Bok Peace Plan. The vital importance of the subject, as well as its unusual method of communication, was the debate of almost historic interest.
The contest will start at 8 o'clock The Portland station, KGW, will make its announcement; then the Oeiland station, KLX, will make the same announcement, and the debate will begin. Each station will be given the opportunity to set, by which the students may bring the arguments of their opponents. After the arguments have been given, rebuffals will be presented.
Definite plans for judging the debate have not been made. Two plans are available to judge the judges at a third court; also, to have the public judge, and send in the decision to one of the states within ten days after the debate.
Grades to be Mailed Out Soon
Grades will soon be mailed out to the students, according to George O. Foster, registrar. At the present time, it is working to check up the grades and pledges. Under the present rulin fraternity pledges must rate a certain standard in grades before they can be initiated. As most of the fraternities dilitating their pledges, the work of these grades had to be completed first, according to Mr. Foster.

Spatial Relations Determine Man's Natural Conquest
Professor Bentley Discusses Attitudes Toward Magic and Scientific Inquiry
"A large print of man's conquest of nature is due to the conquest of spatial and temporal relations," said Madison Bentley, professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, who leads a lecture Thursday under the auspices of Sumnum Xi, honorary science fraternity. "These relations are generally determined by saying that man has a sense of direction. During the war, during the testing of aviators made it necessary to test answer questions," Professor Bentley aid.
Six Types of Orientation
"Six general types of orientation, or means of determining direction, were the men tested. These were the men tested. The pointing, the landmark, the disoriented and the non-oriented types."
In telling the characteristics of the pointing type Professor Bentley said is no greater proof of the inadequacy than asking questions on the road." The means by which birds guide themselves in their long flights from zone to zone may be landmarks, a light, or possibly an unusual sensitiveness to changes in temperature, according to Doctor Bentley.

Experiment on Rotation Made "Experiments in man's accomoation to rotating movements are being made at Johas Hopkins, Illinois other universities. Human beings in fifteen to thirty days, to rotation in fifteen to thirty days, and after that show no signs of disintegration. Professor Bentley went on."
"A number of rats which were kept in revolting cages quickly became acclimated to the motion and later when pressure was applied the animals showed every sign of being dizzy.
Three American Generations
In the evening lecture on "Magi and Bentle" pointed out that there are a morial day and two magical days in February. While speaking of the magi, the Americans might be divided into three tensions: the pioneers, to which Washington belonged; the acquirers, to which Bentle belonged; and the present generation, which has a large class of dissipators."
Each student talked of the aspirations of his people. According to him, he has advanced remarkably well in education, Mr. Lucas said that every Filippino hopes for independence, Mr. Nan mentioned the democratic experi- ence of Tanzania and Tugania predicted sweeping changes in Japan within the next few years.
That magic still has a hold on people was pointed out. Groundhog day and Valentice's days in this month were taken as examples. "Both of these," said Professor Bentley, "date back to ancient times."
Explain Aspirations of People to Kiwanis Club
In conclusion, the lecturer said, "As soon as men and women become mature enough to take on the mantle, sustains the magical attitude." When may it safely be assumed? What part does it properly play in life? What role should we expect the attitude of scientific inquiry?"
Four foreign students: Rauf Mohd Jafri, of India, Emila Reyes Lucas, from the Philippines, Scott P. F. Nan, a graduate student from China, Haiqiang Zhang, of Japan, spoke at the weekly luncheon of the KIwanis Club yesterday.
The students are all members of the Cosmopolitan club at 1653 India street, an organization of forty foreign students from twelve towns.

**Snow's Fallacy of Magic**
Two examples of the fallacy of magical grounding day this year the weather map indicated fifty-eight clear and fifty-nine cloudy places in the United States; and, second, of one thousand more clouds to tell if a person was staring at him, those were correct and 498 wrong.
"Lost" Hikers Soon to Be Thing of Past
W. A. hikers no longer need to ask themselves and the surrounding country the question, "Where am I?" They may pay attention to the map made up of markers that indicate further interest in the sport of hiking and the acquiring of points for W. A. A. sweaters has drawn up a list of hiking inclusions which includes all favorite hiking points.
From Midland on the north, it extends south to the country, farm, Brown's grove, and beyond the Wakara river. The west road is the Topela highway; northwest, the Lakeview road; and east, the Leawoodenworth. Familiar places, as Camphrew, Creekside, near Third street, haunted now mainly by pledges,—and Brown's Grove, are marked as points of interest.
Personal honor counts more in hiking than in and other sport offered for point acquisition. There may be no eats or picnics on the hikes; five and ten minute rests are made; at least three miles an hour must be observed and hikers are held to strict observance. Hikers are asked for data on unexplored places, that they may be added to the map.
Road conditions, good hiking spots,
and the distance from the gymnasium
commonly taken as the starting point
for group hikes, are marked also.
Lawrence Eager Talks on William H. Hudson Before English Group
Books Characterized as Having Same Evanescence as His Character
"William H. Hudson combines in his life and work, an evanescence p renaissance, true literary artistry, an authentic scientific ability and significance in the realm of philosophy," said Lawrence Eager, English author, in a talk on Hudson before a talk of freshman English students.
The statistical facts of Hudson's life are little known save that he was born in Argentina in the early seventies and lived in the middle age he lived in England where he died in 1922. His early life in the Argentine pampas and later life in the downs country of England helped him develop his character and work.
Mr. Enger characterized Hudson's books as having the same evanescence as his character and a sheer beauty which places them outside the realm of ordinary literary classification. "Far Away and Long Ag." a biography, is as well an authentic Pamphlet, more "Tales of the Pamphlet" than exhibiting a wonderful narrative power is a natural treatise.
"Finally," said Mr. Enger in con-
versation, "Hudson had an absolutely
the beautiful, and the power of wow-
ing pottery which typified this sense."
In all his books Hudson shows his philosophy of life and nature which in early life made him seek solitude and retreat from his servants to cynicism upon human affairs.
A new botany laboratory is now being fitted up in Snow hall for the purpose of research work by advanced students in that department. The laboratory, which is in the basement of the building, consists of two workstations which contain cases for material and instruments for the photography of specimens.
This particular apparatus is unusual in that it uses self-feeding electric arcs, thus giving an improvement upon former machines for the larger room contents. The larger room facilities for the study of plant tissues.
New Laboratory Added
Equipment Used by Students in Botany Research
...
The laboratory is already being used by a few advanced students on research problems and it is expected that it will soon have the necessary equipment will be available to all advanced students in the department of iotany.
The Kannan Business Office needs several copies of Wednesday, February 6. Kannan, will be paid for each copy.
Power Developed at Muscle Shoals Cheapest in U.S
Low Investment Cost Lead Companies to Make Important Offers to Government
By R. S. McBride, Engineer and Chemist, for Science Service). The power being developed by the government at Muscle Shoals promotes to be among the cheapest of water-power developments in the United States. There is no wonder, therefore, that the government is receiving several important offers for the privilege of leasing this power development.
Several power companies of the Southern states have associated themselves together for one offer; Mr. Ford nearly two years ago made a proposal has come from a likely a third proposal interests who desire to operate the property for the government. Many political as well as economic factors affect the consideration of these proposals. But the engineering facts which determine the cost of Muscle Shoals are not subject to dispute.
Operation Cost Small
The power generated from a waterfall costs more or less according to the requirement for dam power-house purchase. The cost of operation of a hydro-electric power station is small, so that the cost to the user of current is almost altogether dependent on the cost of building the plant; for example, if it requires $150, $200, or $250 per unit power capacity. At Muscle Shoals the power promises to be very cheap because the investment cost there is relatively low and the quantity of power which will be developed is very high, in contrast to the maximum capacity of the power station now under construction at 280,000 horsepower.
It is very important to compare such big waterpower plants with installations of similar capacity which generate power from steam made by the electric motor in initial investment required for such a electric station would be relatively much less but the cost of operating would be several times greater than the cost of an electric station, just how much greater being required principally by the cost of coal.
Waterfall Energy Unleases
If coal costs $4 per ton at the land and a hydroelectric plant could be built per kilowatt of capacity, about $112 per horsepower, then there would be little choice between the two. In addition, with low investment for hydro-electric electricity, cost for steam-electric, it makes little difference to the power user which way his current is generated. But the electric power of and of concrete for building the dam does not per cent so that the installation would cost $200 per kilowatt of capacity installed, and then the xam-elces could afford to pay $6 for its coal supply or perhaps even more than that.
In any case the cost of recovering the energy from the waterfalls to light our cities and to run the motors in these machines must be cost of making this electric current by burning coal under a heat. Every new installation requires careful study of local conditions to determine the optimal design for the Muscle Shala waterpower plant there is no doubt that whoever leases the property will be securing power about as cheaply as it is possible to make anywhere on the American continent.
Elsey to Give Lecture to High School Students
H. M. Elsey, Associate Profession of chemistry at the University, is scheduled to give a lecture before the student book of the Burru Consell School, Burns, Kansas, one day this subject in the "subject of Convired air."
The school was the first consolidated school in the state, and its success has not only brought it a new face but also a past two years, but has drawn crowds from many districts over the state contemplating consolidated schools.

Remodeling in Fraser to Be Completed Soon
The remodeling of the rooms is Fraser hall is rapidly nearing completion, according to Fred Love, head carpenter. The carpenter work has been completed by an extension department rooms. New metal ceiling has been placed in ten rooms and the woodwork renovated. Additional rooms are being remodeled. An old postoffice room is being fitted either for a class or laboratory. New ceiling is being put in some of the other rooms. The ceiling and floors of the rooms are being painted as fast as they finish by the carpenters.
W. A. A. Offers Prize for Playlet Usable in Water Carnival
Representative Judges Will Choose Best Sketch for Novel Event
The Women's Athletic Association offers a prize of $8 to the student who writes the best playlet or sketch for a water carnival, to be given by the association about the first of May.
"We would like a sketch that would last about forty-five minutes, and one that could be worked out in the gymnasium pool," said Lela Duncan, chairman of the committee in charge of writing for the sketch, "and in writing for the one should carefully consider the possibilities and size of the pool."
Representative judges 65 read and judge the manuscripts will be chosen by the W. A. A. Manuscripts, which is in my office on May 15, may be left with Miss Hooch at athletic department, or with Prof. R. D. O'Leary in rooms 201 or 203 Praser. Those manuscripts left with marked page of English should be marked any on the outside to prevent any confusion with class papers.
This event will be in charge of the W. A. A. and members of Quack Club and other girls interested in swimming will be used in the cast. The team has nothing to do with the anamnesis of the K. U. Karnival," said Miss Duncan. "It is a new idea here, noeling it have been having attempted before at K. U. such sketches as the *Fan* and *Hiawata* and the *Mineau* of Fan and *Hiawata* but were usefully for water play games on the sketch, the edge of the pool is decreted to represent the Indian camp of Hiawata. Hiawata sits in the door of his wigwam, Minneau comes to him and they are enter- with aquatic stunts by Indian girls, and thus the carnival proceeds."
New Officers Selected
Professional Pan-Hellenic Meet Wednesday
New officers were elected at the professional Pan-Beville meeting on Friday. Shi Mu Ahua house Wednesday, 9 p.m., Beville Cc. 24, was elected president, replacing Leo Channel, P24, and Horst Ferry Forrest, P24, who became a treasurer by moving C. G. Vincent, m. 20.
This election became necessary as the result of Claudel being graduate from Wichita State at the end of the first semester with Vincent transferring to Roseville to complete his course in medicine. Plans for completing as quickly as possible the basketball tournament now open have professional fraternities were disbanded and tournament has been in progress since Feb. 1. A report was submitted showing that Chi Phi, Chi Beta, Alpha Delta fraternity remains under control according to the tournament, according to Forney the secretary-treasurer elect.

Women Both Sell and Buy Tickets at Next Varsity
Organizations Co-Operate With Management; no Other Authorized Parties
Women managers, women ticket tellers, and men chapens will officiate at the Leap Year Varsity sponsored by the W. S. G. A. Saturday night. The names of these officials were announced this morning.
The women who will take tickets are Emily Tenny, Sunanna Moody and Manie Van Epps, Helen Buchenan, Edith Wallace, Doria Herain, Elmer Hand, Sue Madden, and Miriam Hand. Helen Haka is managing publicity, and Helen Couley, assisted by Kenneth Alexander, charge of the posters used in advertising the dance. Dean Boggs is advertising manager.
According to a resolution passed by the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council, all sorority pledges are requested to make dates for the dance. "This measure has been slightly misinterpreted by some," said Helen Jaka in an impression that it is in any way a compulsory measure is false. It is merely a suggestion for sorority co-operation in making the variety a success."
The dance will be conducted according to the twin varsity plan adopted for some regular dances this winter. The F. A. u Hail and Eke's ball will be used, and the tickets will be interchangeable between the two dances.
The Leap-Year Varsity is the only party authorized for University student status and will be held Saturday night. "We appreciate the organization shown by the various organizations in leaving this date open," said Kate McGinn on behalf of the W. S. G. A. today.
Decorations for the party will be appropriate to the Valentine season. Refreshments will be served.
Court for New Game Layed Out in Women's Gym
Naismith Invents Vrille
Vrille, a game originated by Dr James R. Nalsmith, professor in physical education, is arousing interest in the University at present.
A ville court has been laid out on the south side of the women's gymnastics floor. The court measures 24 by 24 feet, and is divided on each long side. In the center of the court is a target which is 4 by 8 feet. Extending two feet on all sides is the target in a portion which is known as no-man-land. A small ball is used.
The game may be played with two, four, six, or even more players, but each player is numbered on each side. The ball is thrown up and must bound on the target to be good. If it is returned it must also bound on the other man; if it goes to the other man. Only one bounce is allowed, that one being on the ground if it is to count for the server.
The score is counted the same as in tennis, though any one serve of the ball, in place of two, **permitted**. A ville court and a handball court will out in the southeast rpm on the front floor of Robinson gymnasium.
Doctor Naimish originated the game of ville, while in France during the war, for the soldiers. Ville was a small almost anywhere with but little equipment, some sort for the target and a soft rubber ball. When played in France the score was counted as in handball. Doctor Naimish has made several games, the rules of the game since he has brought it back to this country.
