quarter System To Be Considered By Faculty
Plan is Time Loser Says Profes sor Walker—Meeting Will Be Next Week
A faculty meeting to discuss the coordination of the quarter and semester systems will be next week, according to a report given out today.
"There is practically a loss of two weeks of work when the quarter plan is used," said Prof. A. T. Walker when asked what he considered to be one of the departments. "There is also another disadvantage, it is, that many of the departments believe that eightteen weeks of work cannot be finished in twelve. Then there is the big disadvantage that lies behind the use of classes so many times a year.
"There was some trouble in the figuring of the grades this year. This however, would not have to be considered if the plan were used each year, as they required for a senior to grade 108, according to the quarter plan.
"Several plans have been discussed in which the quarter plan has its advantages. One of them is that greater flexibility is given the student. He is allowed to give greater concentration to fewer subjects at one time as he has a chance to take more subjects in the year.
"Another advantage is that students are encouraged to remain in school in the summer.

London. (By Mall.).—Famous British willers have to hurry up and die if they want to be buried in the national Valhalla, Westminster Abbey. There is absolutely only room for six more, and they will have to leave the city. (By R. H. Charles, Canon R. H. Charles, who is in charge of abbey graves and interments.)
Westminster Abbey Puts Up S.R.O. Sign
"Anyway, there is only room for the remains of six more famous people in the abbey. I am trying to secure additional ground for interments; there are some old houses been broken out, and they will have to come down some day. I want the space reserved for the interment of the famous men. There are so many great men, nowadays, and there will be so many in the years before we come back. Inadequate. If we get this space we might have room for St. George."
The suggestion cabled from Australia, that the abbey should be the last resting place of a casket of bones, alleged to be those of England's patron saint, St. George of Capadocia, which were excavated by Australian troops in Palestine, finds little favor with Canon Charles, "I am very proud of what he declared emphatically. 'Just now I am more concerned about the remains of England, if the labor troubles don't cease.

Imported Speed Cops Nab First Offender On Lawrence Streets

Joy of Rush Week Blamed
Yearly Influx of Motor Cars Increased with Number of New Jayhawkers
Two Kansas City motorcycle policemen, borrowed from the city by the Lawrence Police department to start a crushade on student automobile drivers and are reported to have arrested one student. Chief James H. Monroe refused to give the name of the student who was arrested and said names of persons arrested for speeding would be charged. They were arraigned in police court.
The advent of an unusual number of motor cars, brought to Lawrence last week by students to use in rushing for sororities and fraternities, is said to have caused the Lawrence police department and Mayor Kreeck to determine on an immediate campaign for the suppression of careless and reckless driving. The police department appealed to the Kansas City authorities and Lieutenant Keys anditzegold of the Kansas City motorcycle park. Next night it is. It said they will be on duty a week, or until the parents of the automobile-equipped students recall their cars.
The imported cops are said to have devoted most of their attention today to the blocks close to and leading into the business section of Massachusetts Street, lying inconsipciously in front of some car zips by and then following it and arresting the driver if the traffic rules have been violated.
Every year sees a large number of cars brought to Lawrence for rush week but this year, like the enrollment the number of automobiles in the city breaks all records. Before almost every fraternity and sorority house cars are parked almost filling the street. Streets leading to the University and the campus drives have live with cars headed with students.
A rumor late this afternoon said the student who had been arrested for speeding was a Phi Psi.
