NO CONVOCATION PLAN FOR NEXT SEMESTER
NUMBER 79
Convocations Are Subject to Call From The Chancellor
'Planned Events Not Hot'
Stefansson Will be Considered as a Possible Speaker By Committee
Although an all-University convocation is scheduled to be held every month supplemented by occasional afternoon lectures, no plants have been made for the future, and no speakers have been even tentatively engaged, according to H. G. irngham, acting director of the University Extension Division, and chairman of the Committee on Lectures and Convocations.
"Although we have discussed several possible lectures," said Mr. Ingham, "no arrangements have been made, and no convolutions or lectures have been definitely planned for the rest of the year. Conventions are subject to the call of the Chancellor, and cannot be arranged for ahead of time," want, advance plans often defeat that purpose, to give shape of holding convocations is to give the students what they want, advance plans often defeat that purpose.
"For instance," he said, "We knew only a short time in advance that the students wished to holt the last concession on the results" . The Student Volunteer Convention. Des Moines If a meeting had l len arranged that concession would have been postponed until next month, owing to the rule for the University that only one concession can be held each month."
Viljaahahr Stefansson, the Norwegian artist explorer, who lectured at the University of Michigan Jan. 17, suggested as a possible sneaker.
"The Committee on Lectures and Convocations has not considered him, as none of the members knew that he was in this section of the country," said the Chancellor, who is prominent persons who are in this immediate territory on other business. However, I will suggest Stefanson to the committee. The objection to bringing such speakers from outside must be paid by the University, and often they have a regular fee for their lectures."

POLITICAL OBSERVERS SUSPECT PEACE TRICK
Lull in Russian Fighting Pointe Out as Shrewd Bid for Peace
Lenine May Be Responsib
Anti-Bolshevik Activities Show Considerable Improvement Save Report
Says Report
London, Jan. 23. — The sudden cesiation of the triumphant advance of the Russian military armies may be a shrewd bid by Premier Lenin to enlist trouble for peace with Russia, some politic observers believed today.
The lull in the Russian fighting, they pointed out, makes easier the all proposal to resume trade with the Russian Co-operative societies. If this plan is carried out, as announced by the supreme council in Paris, many officials in Russia only be a preliminary to sort, some cooperation of the soviet government.
The British war office reports indicated a considerable improvement in the military situation of the anti-bolshev armies. The bolshevish advance on all fronts has been slowed up.
The bobholek radio radio however today declared there was not much optimism in Russia over the "ambiguous decision" of the supreme council to resume trade with the co-operative unions without recognizing the soviets.

One condition which has not previously been announced is that the judges reserve the right to withhold any or all awards if the stories are not considered worthy. It is believed, however, a sufficiently large number of notable stories will be submitted to make it difficult to select the best ones.
Fifteen Dollars Taken From Alpha Chi House
The faculty members who will judge the stories are Margaret Lyman, S. O. Rice and Helen Rhoda Hoopes.
Three prizes totaling $25 have been offered: first prize, $12; second, $8; and third 5. If more than three accepted stories are submitted, honorable mentions will be made. The first prize is awarded in the February number of the Oread Magazine which will announce the results of the contest.

Going Up the Hill Means Coming Down
Again there comes a time in the lives of the pedestrian when he must not walk with "heads up" and be a past master in the art of aesthetic dancing, in fact any art that requires a careful and a quick but accurate manipulation of the pellet extremities. This skill is helpful, because when paedic with the accompanied spat will be carefully placed in the closest or under the bed and the low heeded pldding zapato will be popular, for anyone who can go down or up the hill now walking on his or her toes should join a circus and be a bareback rider. Coming up the hill to a first hour class if by any chance anyone had the nerve to take his eyes off the slippery pavement, he could have been hit by a pair of flippops, backpacks, waving of arms and feet that were not on the ground, were the features of the unlucky student who was forced to ascend the hill.

ACTOR LIKES OUR CITY
Hackett Approves Little Theate and New Bowersock as Progressive Moves
Norman Hackett said yesterday of the University, "I take great delight in seeing the department of Dramatic Art introduced into your university curriculum. The Little Theatre is a step in the right direction. And Professor MacMurray is a fine man for the head of the department."
Mr. Hackett spoke of the new buildings on the campus and then continued, "My first visit to Lawrence was eighteen years ago and I still remember the smell of the old Bowserer. Your new theatre is an addition to the town."
Later, Mr. Hackett talked on "College Dramatics" at the Little Theatre. He said that Professor Baker of Harvard is a pioneer in this line. Here students are taught, not only to act, but also to build and paint scenery, to construct plays and many other intimate things of the drama. The program of a university course should be compulsory in colleges because of its power to develop personality and expression, two essentials for success.
Mr. Hackett is a graduate of Michigan University and in school there organized the famous Michigan County Club.
Cherokee Zinc Proves Only Calcium Carbonate
"A test of samples, closely resembling the zinc bludge, which were sent in to the department of Geology from Cherokee county, proved them to be iron," said Prof. Frank E. Fleener, who made the test today.
"The bed contains about 640 acres of unknown depth, and the samples responded to the zine test a remarkable new field of zine production would have been opened up, and incidently, the owners fortune made."
Announcement
No schedule of graduate studies has been printed for the second semester, therefore it will be necessary for students to select their courses from the graduate and undergraduate groups, from those for graduates and undergraduates as published in the schedules of other schools. In filling out cards student and instructors should observe that all graduate subjects are numbered from 100 up; therefore where they are scheduled from in the undergraduate schedules (1) should be prefixed to the number.

Coach Meanwell Hands Boquet to Laslett and Team for Speed Against Tigers
A new surprise, perhaps even more painful to Coach Meanwell's proteses than the substitutes who performed in Thursday night's game, may await the Tiers. Coach Allen has not announced his lineup, but he is thought to have "something up his sleeve." He has a choice of three centers and good forwards to stay against the victors of last night's struggle.
Coach Meemwell, who besides being coach of basketball at Missouri is director of athletics, paid a fine tribute after the game to the play at Missouri, which class of all valley basketball exhibitions for several years, as far as Missouri has been concerned", he said, "the playing of Lasket especially, is the cleanest and most brilliant ever seen at the grand position."

Just over recitations.
For the benefit of our readers, who are not readers of the announcement columns, we explain the item in Thursday night's Kansas. The article in question referring to the students going to Kansas City to see "Sandals" does not mean that it is necessary to journey to the city to see Sanders. Our Sour Oil will publish an edition minus the yellow section. Scandals of 1910 is a musical comedy playing at the Grand Theatre this week.

Mr. So and on his way to bi office this morning felt like he was going to die. He leaned up against a building and made good.
Experiments were written out in perfect form and when the student came to the point of copying lengthy discussions from text books he merely wrote "For discussion on this topic" or "In my last 395 days See Pillburg, etc." The student referred the professor to four different texts.
