Senate To Investigate Disciplinary Committee On Haworth's Charges
Members Request Entire Group be Questioned Instead of Chairman Alone
Chancellor Strong Calls Special Senate Meeting to Consider Case Monday
Acting on this request by the committee, Chancellor Strong called a special meeting of the Senate Monday afternoon to consider an investigation. He submitted to the Senate the committee's suggestion that the investigation be neglected. Thursdays Professor Haworth submit his charges in detail and in writing and that the investigation include the entire Disciplinary Committee. The Senate adopted the suggestions and added, on motion of Professor Hodder, that inquiry be made against Professor Haworth given Professor Haworth's charge previous to his complaint to the Senate.
The entire Disciplinary Committee is to be investigated Thursday by the University Senate on charges by Prof. Erasmus Haworth that Prof. Haworth, a professor of the mittee, had been guilty of improper conduct in office. The committee requested the investigation and asked that it be directed at the whole committee, instead of the chairman, of the mittee and that he had unanimous in its acts.
Professor Haworth's charges were made at a meeting of the Senate June 3, but the Senate took no action on them. They grow out of the annual session of the Senate in mining and geology. The announced program said the dinner would be followed by a dance in the museum of Haworth Hall. Professor Patterson forbade the dance as being against the University's ruling on mid-week
Chancellor Strong's letter to the Senate follows;
I am in receipt of a letter under date of June 4th from the members of the Disciplinary Committee that "in the conduct of the Disciplinary Committee the Chairman, Professor Patterson, has to our knowledge never done anything that has not had the approval of the entire committee." I am in receipt also of a letter under date of June 5th from Professor David L. Patterson, Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee stating among other things the following
"In his resolution, Professor Haworth requested that an investigation of my conduct as chairman of the Disciplinary Committee should be conducted. I shall personally I shall welcome such an investigation. The Disciplinary Committee has worked as a unit during the three years it has been in office and gladly submitted to an investigation of all its actions. Speaking for myself and I believe I can say the same for the members of the Committee, those actions have always been diehard interests of the University of Kansas."
Finally, I am in receipt of a letter under date of June 7th from the Disciplinary Committee enclosing the following communication:
In view of the publicity which has been given to Professor Haworth's request for an investigation of the official conduct of the Chairman or the Disciplinary Committee, and in view of the fact that Professor Haworth be made by Professor Haworth in an interview reported in the Kansan, and in view of certain statements reported by the Kansan as having been made by students on Students' Day, the Commission mistaken impression of the Disciplinary Committee asks for an investigation of its official conduct. We ask you to decide whether you shall investigate orVOSEST the senate to do so.
"The committee asks that the following points be incorporated in the opinion."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 10, 1919.
"1. That Professor Haworth submit his charges in detail and in writing a reasonable time before the hearing of the committee.
"2. That the committee as a whole be investigated, rather than the chairman alone, since the committee has always acted as a whole and is responsible for all that the chairman has done.
3. That the investigation be held not later than Thursday, June 12.
The letter goes on further to suggest that a senate meeting be called on Monday, June 9th, at 4:30; that two days be given Professor L. C. McCormack a day after that for the Committee to prepare its answer and that the investigation
on conducted not later than Thursday, June 12th, and that the hearing be before the whole Senate if possible. The recommendations of the Committee in these respects seem fair and reasonable, but I do careful consideration. To the best of my judgment it would facilitate matters and to be the justice of all concerned that the charges be made in detail and in writing and that the Disciplinary Committee as well as its be included in the investigation.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.

"BEYOND THE PURPLE HILLS"
Senior Class Poem
Our world was bounded by the purple hills, We laughed and danced, and in our careless way We faced our petty problems, fancied lils, And called it life—but it was only play.
By MARGARET MITCHELL
Then suddenly, our painted world was crushed,
Shattered by the ruthless blow of war
And we, facing reality, stood hushed,
At last knew life and saw things as they are.
The world beyond we heeded not, nor knew
Its earnestness, its pain, its better fight.
For us, care fled before soft winds that blew
Through perfumed lilacs on an April night.
No more we lose ourselves in dreams when blow
The April winds—we've felt the blast that chills;
But stronger, keener for the fight we go
To meet the world beyond the purple hills.

As she started from

To get angry and then thought
It didn't matter because she
Kiwi was only a girl away
He was only a star and she
Had walked home with that
Same star every night for
Four years.
FAMOUS LAST LINES
What are you going to do next year?
Notice to All Instructors:
This is to call your attention to a rule of the University requiring that examinations be held for all students during the last days of the term. This rule applies to all students except seniors whose average grade is A or B.
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.
To avoid confusion it is necessary that the examination schedule be followed strictly.

W.O.Hamilton Resigns As Athletic Manager To Go Into Business
Coach Leaves University for Larger Monetary Reward in Selling Automobiles
Ends Ten Years of Service
Senate Interference Said to Have Hastened Determination to Quit
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics of the University of Kansas the last eight years, has resigned and will be the University to go into business.
Mr. Hamilton came to the University ten years ago as coach of track and basketball. He served in that capacity two years and was promoted to manager of athletics. Close friends of the coach say he has been contemplating leaving the University for more than a year. They say that the automobile agency he owns pays him much more for a small portion of his attention than does the University and that his remaining with the University the last two years has been at a considerable monetary sacrifice.
Mr. Hamilton refused today to confirm or to deny the report of his resignation. Chancellor Strong was out of town and could not be seen, but it may be stated on responsible intelligence to leave the University this summer.
SAYS SENATE INTERFERES
Constant interference by the University Senate, wherein men in other lines were trying to dictate policies and management of his department is also known to have made the coach decide that life was too short to lose money for the university because of the business was to give instruction in studies not connected with physical training or with athletics.
When the Senate some months ago adopted certain rules on physical education, reversed itself and then made its way to the department authority to carry out more regulations it ordered for that department, Mr. Hamilton is said to have threatened to resign. In a conference with the coach is reported to have said:
BUSINESS PAYS BETTER
"Where would I be with a large family to support, if I had no business interests and only my University salary? I give only a small fraction of my time to my motor car business, but I would pay for the University, yet it pays me much more than does the University. Every time something about University athletics has not suited some one or other he has blamed it on the fact that university interests. If we lost a basketball game was because I had sold a motor car."
It is known that business friends of the coach have repeatedly advised him to leave the University for the much brighter business opportunities he has. The war and the S. A. T. C. almost disrupted the physical education department last autumn through taking members of the department into various branches of the service. That condition made the work of the deference to the coach less顺利 and lack of appreciation of the difficulties the war had brought is said to have added another reason for the coach's deciding that he was not only losing money but wasting time and effort in staying with the job.
The Red Cross Home Nursing certificates for the first and second quarters may be had now at the business office in Fraser Hall. The certificates for this quarter will be mailed to your home address this summer, so be prepared to leave your home address with Doctor Sheron before leaving school.
