Unofficial Authority Gives Many Causes for Student Withdrawals
HALF OF FRESHMAN FINISH WITH CLASSES
"Approximately fifty per cent of the students of each freshman class entering the University fail to graduate with their class at the end of the four years' work," says Registrar Geo O. Foster.
Authentic mortality statistics of the average class going through the University has never been officially compiled at the registrars office, but various estimates and statistics unofficially collected show that between forty-five and fifty per cent of each class withdraw before graduation.
Of this number approximately forty per cent voluntarily withdraw because of changes in plans, or any of the thousand and one reasons which compel students to abandon their college course before completion. Five per cent withdraw because of deficiencies in studies, or frilling grade.
Less than one per cent are dismissed because of disorderly conduct while at college.
Freshmen Plan.
Plans were made at a Freshman meeting Tuesday night for a frolic and a smoker, both to be held some time during the month of March.

We are planning several mixers to follow later."

LAWS HEAR JUSTICE
Henry F. Mason of Kansas Su preme Court Addresses School of Law
Students in the School of Law turned out on mense Wednesday afternoon to heary Henry F. Mason, assoal of the University of Kansas. The speaker of the afternoon is a graduate of the School of Law of the University of Wisconsin and has been identified with the Court of Kansas for eightteen years.
The Laws received a word of en encouragement when the speaker informed them, confidentially, that it is an unwritten rule of the supreme court for lawyers to win their first case against those who distinguished body if they could.
Resuming his talk, the speaker expressed his gratitude on the progressiveness of the requirements for admission to the bar. "Thirty-five years ago, when I first came to Kansas," Mr. Manson said, "anybody could see that the hae became the fellowship" was practically the only requirements."
"I am glad that the tendency has been and I hope it will continue, to broaden the education of the lawyer," continued Mr. Mason. "It is not he who knows the law but the man who exercises the influence of power to see that the law is administered to be justice. I do not agree with the English jurist, who said that court's趾 deal with law and not justice. The Supreme Court does not have the ability to make anything the law, and decision questions do not always rule, depending on who constitutes the court."
The Associate Justice explained it: it was a "blushing matter" he was obliged to give consideration when Dr. Wigmore, author of a textbook on the American Civil War, Court of Kansas was a model institution and an advanced court.
Mr. Mason spoke optimistically of the prospects of the passage of the Industrial Court Bill now before the House of

JAYHAWK AND TIGER MEET IN GYM TONIGHT
New Combination of K. U. Basket Tossers May be Tried, Says Allen
Coach Urges Sportsmanship
Band and Ku Ku's Will Enliven
Two-Game Series—Large
Advance Seat Sale
Missouri probably will start the team which they have used constantly this season, with Ruby and Scott at the forward positions, Williams at center, and Wacker and Browning playing the guards.
Another shake-up of the basketball team in preparation for the Missouri engagements tonight and Friday night is being considered by Coach C. F. Allen. Although the lineup which greeted Ms. so successfully last week may start, it is probable, according to reports, that a new combination will be tried.
A plan for good sportsmanship on the part of the crowd was made this morning by Coach Allen, to prevent a rejection of the three fouls called on the team last week because of alleged interference by the crowd.
"We have agreed on the officials for the season," said Conch Allen, "and as a matter of sportsmanship, the crowd should not object to decisions made by the referee. Furthermore, it is not fair to the team to give the official an advantage in game time. The team is doing its best, and such handoffs are hard to overcome."
Although Missouri has a very strong team, with the added advantage of having had the same coaches and hence the same style of coaching for several years, Coach Allen promises a hard fight every bit of the way in both games, with a big question as to the winners.
Tenight's game will start at 7:30 and the game Friday night at 7:15, to allow the Missouri team to catch a train.
The band and the Ku Ku Klan will be out to both games to keep things lively. The reserved seat sale so far indicates that both games will be played before large crowds. E. C. Quigley will officiate at both games.
DEAN KELLY TO TALK ON KANSAS TEACHING
Will Discuss Teacher Shortage Before City Parent-Teachers Association
"What will Kansas schools do for teachers next fall?" will be the topic discussed at a meeting of the Lawrence Parent-Teachers Association Thursday, at 7:45 in the High School. "With this shortage of 100,000 teachers at present, it is alarming to note that the normal schools of the country have graduated classes this year only about 70 per cent as large as in 1919," said Dean Kelly, today. "The normal training classes in Kansas which are less than three-fourths as large this year as four years ago." There, are 40,000 schools in the United States closed this year because no teachers can be found for them. There are 60,000 other schools being taught by teachers for whom the salary of teachers and thus make the profession more inviting. The bill allowing higher tax rates on teachers before they could be elected. "The object of the discussion at the meeting Thursday will be to consider ways and means for increasing the salaries of teachers and thus make the profession more inviting. The bill allowing higher tax rates on teachers before they could be elected. Lawrence can raise its teachers' salaries if it will still there is no longer the 'tax excuse.' An effort is to be made to make this a reality."
