OIL AND GAS STOVES
MUST GO SAYS SHEA
State Carries No Fire Insurance and Hazard is Too
Jayhawker Office Guilty
Annual Editors Must Move Petroleum Stove and Big Oil Can
Oil stoves and portable stoves in University buildings received an immediate outlet from the Hill in an announcement this morning by John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Mr. Shea's order came after a discovery that students and faculty had been bringing oil stoves to the library work libraries, offices and laboratories on Saturdays and at other times the buildings were not heated owing to the coal shortage.
The state carries no fire insurance on University buildings and Mr. Shea said he could not permit the extra fire hazard of oil stoves or portable gas stoves. He has refused requests by faculty members to have class rooms and laboratories equipped with portable gas stoves, and other tubes. Such equipment would be an active menace and a great fire hazard, it was said.
Mr. Shea's peremptory order that all oil stoves or temporary heating apparatus must be removed from University buildings at once is said to the Jayhawker office, which says that the Jayhawker office in the journalism building had equipped itself with an oil stove and a 5-gallon can of oil, both of which were being kept in the Jayhawker office. Mr. Shea is reported to have said that the oil stove could not be used if the Jayhawker management did not remove them by noon.

TO TAKE STRAW VOTE ON LEAGUE COVENANT
Colleges Throughout the Country Will Decide Advisability of Peace Fact
Four Peace Propositions
Men's Student Council May Call a Special Election January 13
To promote a referendum of college sentiment throughout the country concerning the ratification of the Constitution, a committee has been formed by the Editor-in-Chief of the Columbia Spectator, the Chairman of the Daily Princetonian, the Chairman of the Harvard President of the Harvard Criminal.
The plan is solely to stimulate discussion in academic communities and to obtain as accurate as possible an expression of college sentiment. No examination will be conducted by the committee and no point of view advocated. It is felt that the educational results of the effort will be very great and that the imposition of secrecy thus obtained will be enlightening to everybody concerned.
Many colleges have held straw halles on the subject but the statements of the question have varied and those votes have afforded no opportunity to obtain in accurate and comparative of inter-college计 view.
The plan is that on January 13, every college and university in the country will be asked to take a vote on whether the student body, on the other—either Yes or No—on the following propositions: (1) I favor the ratification of the League and Treaty without amendments or reservations. (2) I oppose the ratification of the League and the Treaty in any form. (3) I am in favor of the ratification of the Treaty and the League but only with the specific reservation as voted on by the majority of the Senate. (4) I favor any counsel that may make possible immediate ratification of the Treaty and the League.
It is urged that discussion of the situation should be stimulated, and that, if possible, public debates and case meetings of students and faculty at different points of view. The committee has submitted the exact form of the proposed ballot to Senator Lodge and Hitchcock to obtain their approval of its method of statement making. It will make a direct statement to the colleges and universities of the country, summarizing their points of view. These statements will be made known later. Chancellor Strong as usual will be asked up by the Men's Student Council at its meeting tonight.
