Favors for the women, scandal sheets for the men and music from Kansas City are by the bill of fares for the fourth annual Bill Board Ball given by members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary and professional journalism sorority, Friday night January 9 at Robinson Gymnasium.
The Bill Board Ball, as in former years will be purely an advertising party. All the decorations will be of course cartoons, caricles, and other novelty displays, according to Jessie Lee Weyatt, manager of the party this year. On the programs every dance is named by well known ad slogans beginning with the first dance "Obs." That Imu and ending with "The For Tired Peet."
On account of the permanent seating put in the gymnasium for the basketball games only a limited number of couples will be admitted. The seats however do not interfere with the dancing as they are built only under the balcony and take up just a small part of the dancing space.
Joe Sanders, will play for the dance assisted by a soprano saxophone, a grown-up saxophone and trans.
"The Bill Board Ball is the first party in the Leap Year and if the men are not making dates for the occasion, the women are urged to take advantage of the powers vested in them by the opening of 1920 and to call the men and make their own days,' said the ball manager.

PROFESSIONAL CRITICS CHALLENGED BY ALLEN
Governor Dechares Radical Leaders Oppose Industrial Court to Save Their Jobs
Gives Message in Person
State Executive Recommends Court of Industrial Relations
(United Press)
Topeka, June. "Jama."—A direct challenge to the railway brotherhoods was issued this afternoon by Governor Henry J. Allen when he was invited to deliver his message in person before a joint session of the house and senate. Members of the Brotherhoods in Topeka today three hundred people convened on all anti-strike legislation and the governor has picked up the glove. In a brief preface before his message the governor described the coal crisis in Kansas and the state operation of mines that followed. His experience with mining left to their own initiative would not fight a just tribunal.
"But," he says, "they are being urged by a lot of professional labor officials who live off the exploitation of labor controversies to fight this legislation because they realize that such a business is not a form of lead-ship will be unnecessary.
"From all over this state there is coming a flood of protest from various union bodies who are not concerned in this bill, who do not belong to the essential industries affected by it and who have made absolutely no effort but who are beheaded by professional leaders to save the day."
the governor explained that at the present time those most active in leading the fight against the bill were the officials of the four railway brotherhoods.
Topeka, Jan. 5. —“Today all over the land there are men who demand that such government as Linein love should be destroyed and who would rear in its place a government by intimidation and violence.” Governor Allen told Kansas legislators assembled in extraordinarily large numbers in their own terrible prophecy of danger,” the state executive continued. “It is of the utmost importance that we should waken to the fact that the battle is not alone between employees and employees. It is between government and those class minded organizations which seek to supplant it. I have confidence that we will protect our employees which the soldiers of three generations have saved for us and that government by intimidation will no be permitted within her borders.”
Creation of a court of industrial relations was recommended by Government Allen as a remedy for industrial discontent. As a protection of society against the offences of industrial strife" He asked enacted enforcement of legislation:
(1) Declaring operation of the great industries affecting the necessities, food, clothing, fuel and transportation subject to state regulation.
(2) Creating a tribunal empowered to hear and determine all controversies threatening to tie up such industries.
(5) Providing for incorporation of unions, recognizing the right to collective bargaining, and giving full faith to all contracts.
(6) Providing that the supremo court shall determine the validity of such tribunal's orders without usual delay.
(3) Declaring it the duty of all persons engaged in such industries to operate with reasonable continuity.
(11) Providing that increases of wages granted by the industrial court shall be retroactive as of th date of beginning of the investigation.
(7) Declaring it unlawful for any one to delay or suspend production or transportation of necessities except with the ensent of said tribunal.
(9) Declaring unlawful any violation of the industrial court act or any conspiracy to violate the act.
(12) Making it unlawful for any industry to cease operation to limit productionto affect prices or to avoid provision of this industrial court act, but also providing means for regulation and operation of such industries as are effected by change of season and market conditions.
vories threaten continued operation of such industries the tribunal shall investigate and make regulations covering conduct of such industries until
(10) Providing penalties.

MAY BE SCARCITY OF SEATS TO CAGE GAMES
Season Tickets, on Sale Tuesday May not Last Long, Says Schlademan
"First come, first served," is the slogan that will determine which of the three thousand K. U. basketball fans will get the favorable places to see in the home basketball that K. U. plays this fall.
Season tickets to the ten home games on sale Tuesday morning at the Registrar's Office and the Round Corner Drug Store will sell for $3.50, and will include a permanent reserve seat for all games. The first game will be Tuesday night with the Emporia Teachers.
Single admissions will be thirty-five cents with reserved seats at fifteen cents extra, according to the department of athletics but the bourse is that the entire seating capacity of one thousand will be sold out by the end of the semester, giving the local supporters the chance to occupy the stands entirely.
Single admissions with reserved seats will sell for fifty cents at the door of the gym. Coach Schalademan says that from the interest displayed in his book, he knows that admissions will either be impossible to procure, or in very poor positions.
Student activity ticket holders are admitted to the home game but reserve seats for the entire series will cost $1.00, and should be reserved at once, to get the desirable location, according to Director of Athletics F. C. Allen. Both upstairs and floor seats will sell at the same price.

LEAGUE STRAW VOTE
WILL BE HELD SOON
Student Council Is Co-operating to Secure Nation-Wide Sentiment
Secrecy To Be Observed
Authorities Think University Opinion Will Influence The Senate Decision
The University will take a straw vote on the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty, probably on January 13. The date will be definitely set at tonight's meeting of the Men's Student Council.
This action was decided upon at the last meeting of the Council in accordance with the plan submitted by the editors of four eastern universities, and by a college sentiment on the League and Treaty. Late instructions have been received by the election committee of the Men's Student Council with regard to the voting. The different propositions under which a vote may be cast were listed in the December issue of the Senate, and noted that the vote shall be conducted under such safeguards as may be established in each institution to secure secrecy and completeness and that the results shall be made known locally at once and telegraphed to the headquarters committee at Columbia University.
It is felt by the promoters of the plan that such a manifestation of college opinion will put a new and valuable light on debate. It will serve to husten the action of the Senators at Washington. Every effort has been taken
to obtain an unbiased referendum.
Cancellor Strong and the University authorities are strongly in favor of a vote by the University of Kansas, which will include both students and faculty.

Spanish Author Will Give Talk In Little Theatre, Green
BLASCO IBANEZ WILL
LECTURE ON THURSDAY
Hall
The author of the widely read novel "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" will lecture in Spanish under the auspices of the department of Hispanic language Thursday afternoon, from 4:30 to 5:10 in Little Theatre, Green Hall.
"Karley, if ever, has so distinguished a literary man as Blasco Banzin visite the University," said Prof. A. A. Owen, head of the department of Hispanic languages. "The versatile personality of Blasco Banzin possesses great interest, which is derived not only from his work but also from his earlier works, in which he combines subtle observation with vigorous warfare in support of certain liberal ideals, a warfare which he has carried on in the press and particularly in Parliament, of which he was for many years a member. Many of his novels are known the world over; several of them have been translated in this country." Blasco Banzin represents of his vision of affairs and of men, and of his ideas of reform
"He is one of the best known of living authors, one who has contributed to the splendid renaissance of Spanish letters and his work incarnates the spirit of modern Spain. He has always been a man of action, of ideals and of aggriveness in the support and of aggriveness in the which has more than once brought about a change in Spain. But it is not only as a fighter that Blasco is interesting. His novels are full of vision and of observation. Now the "sueret" of Valencia with its atmosphere and its passions, now the aristocratic salons of the Casino of Monte Carlo appear as the scenes of his graphic and well-plated plots, of his color and told with the sincerity and descriptive mastery of an artist."
The lecture is open to the public.

PRINCETON STADIUM
WILL BE K. U. MODEL
Representatives of the Athletic Board Complete Inspection of Eastern Fields
Site to be Chosen Promptly
Campaign for Funds Starts Early This Spring—Plan to Seat 30,000 Spectators
"The stadia of Syracuse, Princeton, City of New York and Chicago in addition to the Yale and Harvard bowls were impotted. The Yale bowl seatitions are slightly higher while Harvard bowl includes a track but the first tier of seats are as high as the ones at McCook Field. The Princeton stadium has a track and the top tiers are placed in such a manner that they are like a view of all athletic events can be had."
"The Princeton stadium seems to be the best style of structure for the proposed million dollar University athletic field and stadium" said Manager "Phog" Allen who with C. C. Williams, returned Sunday after impinging six stadia and bowls in the east, north and south, before the sessions of the National Collegiate Association in New York City last Monday and Tuesday.
STADIUM TO BE COMPLETE
Manager Allen said the stadium at the University would be used for both football and track and would also include locker and dressing rooms in addition to being ornamental. He said that the stadium should be built to take care of the needs for the next twenty-five to fifty years and should have a seating capacity of at least twenty-five to thirty thousand.
"We fully intend to have a stadium with a seating capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 constructed and ready in every particular for the next Missouri-Kansas game here," Manager Allen said. "We are going after is in a business like manner because it is not a passport and need. We are not going to depend on gifts alone but will pay interest on sufficient money if necessary."
"The campaign for the necessary funds will be launched by the athletic board just as soon as a site is chosen by the engineering committee." Manager Allen added. "A budget has been voted to carry on the work and with favorable weather a report should be submitted to the committee with four or five weeks. The site will first be approved by the athletic board, then by the University administration, and finally by the state board of education at Topeka.
VALLEY RULES HELD EXCELLENT
"Regarding the meeting of the National Collegiate Association at New York City, Manager Allen explained that the biggest point to him was the splendid records of the Big Ten and the Missouri Valley Conference that was brought out and commented upon by the athletic leaders from every region. These two regulations of these two athletic or organizations are nearly ideal, he said, with professionalism and other common evils eliminated.
"Boxing was also discussed favorably as an inter-college sport and the schools of the west are going to make a real start on instituting it this coming basketball hall season. At Minnesota, boxing exhibitions will be held every two weeks at the basketball hall games. Manage Alen said Kansai would not go quite so far with the sport this year but would make a good start anyway.
Surplus Oil is Stored In Campus Cisterns
Curtains, located between Fraser Hall and the Journalism Building, have been used in hold the surplus help of oil received by the University.
Anxiety has been expressed concerning the effect of the oil upon the shrubbery nearby. To quote Prof. W. C. Stevens, botanist, "the oil upon the shrubbery had the same effect as the 'mild poison upon the dead cat'—the plants had already been crushed in the soil" (Stevens 1975). The oil. Any amount of oil on the roots of the shrubs could not have done so much harm as this".
He believes that the small amount that was sputtered about was of insufficient quantity to cause any further harm.
