"The various faults and proposed improvements which will most assuredly come up for discussion next year will be taken up and analyzed by the different speakers," said Monteith. "The big questions of the last year will be re-hashed and presented before the students in their entirety.
"For instance, the question of a memorial to the martyrts of the great war has been one of the vital questions that has been before the University. It is one of the biggest things that confronts us, this reverence to our hero dead, until some definite plan is settled upon. Many of the people who have gone on West have already begun actual construction of their memorials, and it is high time that K. U. gets to thinking about her responsibilities."

K.U. Seniors Suggest Changes in System Of Running College
Modification of Group and Major Rules and Reform in Grading Mentioned
The chief cause of indignation among those present was that many professors are not letting seniors who have passed away, in the final, but are avoiding it in some manner. A lbt of these "violators" was turned in and given to the administrative officers of the College. Listens to students with "slave" courses were made out also.
Much interest was shown and many reforms in college administration suggested at the meeting of seniors of the College Wednesday afternoon. This meeting was called at the request of University authorities to get the opinion of the College seniors about possible changes.
The filling of six groups was thought to be too many. Either filling but five groups or increasing the number of groups, choose, was suggested as a remedy. More choice, was the opinion, should be given in major subjects. A junior or senior should be permitted to carry such work as he desired in one group.
Much dissatisfaction was expressed because of the varying standards used by different professors in grading. Doing away with plus and minus was emphasized. Some advised the return to the I, II, III, and P grading system. Because upperclassmen should have better access to the library.
"The questionnaires filled out at the meeting will be turned over to the administrative officers of the College," said Herman Hangen, president of the college. He said he would take into consideration in making any changes in the College work."

Goose Quills Would Queer Ballot,Says Cub
Wandering students who happene to appear at Snow Hall Tuesday and Wednesday to ballot on the Honor System were instructed at the tables to use lead pencils in making their marks in the little squares to the right of "yes" or "no." Upon inquiry it was learned that it would be illegal should a negligent voter use his hounit pen, or any other fol de rol in registering his choice in the de Honor System at KU. According to Professor H. W. Humble, of the School of Law, custom has decreed that a plain, black lead should be used in balloting under the Australian system.
"While it would not be illegal to use a pen in marking your ballot, in some places votes marked in that way would be thrown out on the ballot. In other cases,ustom, and no authority in law can be found whereby one would lose his ballot if he did not use the lead pencil provided in the booth," continued Mr. Humble.
A bright cub said that the results of the vote against Hon. Honey Gorman would not have been different if all those who cast their ballots had used goose quills and imported dyes.

"Summer Session Attendance Will Be Large"-Kelly
"Students are slowly coming to the idea of getting their college education in three years," said Dean Kelly. "For this reason, and due to our high standards, their education interrupted by the war the indications are good for a large attendance at the summer session.

Dare-Devils Must Find Speedways Other Than University Campus Roads
Lawrence City Ordinances Apply to Campus and Other Highways at University
Police Will Be On the Job
Students' Lives Endangered by Speeding Mud-splashing Cars at Library Crossing
The speed fiends will have to go out side of the limits if they want to see "how many per" their cars will make, according to a warning given by members of the local police force yesterday afternoon. The University campus roads are used as speed ways for student and Lawrence motorists and for this reason the lives of the less fortunate students who have to walk are made miserable, for instance being run down by the speed demons.
A student, driving a large Cadillac car, Wednesday noon just after the 12:20 o'clock classes was speeding on the campus, endangering the lives of students, splashing mud and water on all the students who happened to be near.
POLICE WILL ASSIST
"THE POLICE DELIVERS," assures. "The police will speed most certainly apply to the University campus roads as well as any road in the city limit" said Chief James Monroe of the Lawrence Police Force this morning. Speeders will be arrested just as quickly on the campus streets, and speeding on the main streets of the city."
The ordinance which the speecemons will be called into court to "tell it to the judge" for breaking, is "Every person operating a motor vehicle in the street, streets, alleys or other public highways within the city shall drive his car in a careful and prudent manner at a rate of speed not exceeding twelve miles an hour, or at a rate greater than is reasonable, having a due regard for the traffic, or at a rate greater than is reasonable, endanger the life of any pedestrian."
One of the worst places on the campus for speeding is the crossing between the Museum and the Library. Speeders take great delight in using that road making walking dangerous for other students. This place is especially bad at the noon hour and at 8:20 o'clock in the morning. The pedestrians are at those times and all are going so fast that the pedestrian is uncertain whether to attempt to cross the street from the Library or not.
The Westminster Student Guild will give its last event of the year, a "Bacon Fry" Saturday afternoon. All Presbyterian students and their friends are invited to meet at Westminster Hall at 5 o'clock and will go to a stone fireplace at the west edge of the campus.
WILL PUBLISH SPEEDERS' NAMES
"Speaders come to the campus because they think they are in less danger of being reported to the Police force" said one person on the campus who just recently escaped being splashed and hit by a speeding motor car. "There is only one redemening feature on the roads on the campus and that is the shelter he has to slow up somewhat before they come to the crossings on account of the bumps. For one I am actually afraid to attempt the Library crossing if there is a car any where in sight for fear of being run down."
The names of the students who are driving the cars and the numbers of the cars that are seen speeding on the roads. Been seen and published in the Daily Kansan.

Dean Templin of College An nounces First Year Honor Students
List is 10 Per Cent of Class
Choice is Based on General Efficiency as Well as High Grades
The Freshman Honor Roll, which consists of sixty-one members of the freshman class of the College of Liberal Arts, is being announced by Dean Olin Templin today.
"The list," said Dean Templin, "includes the most successful and most promising members of the freshman class. The custom of selecting this class is to reward a teacher withward and encourage freshman students. It seemed to me that the question of general efficiency should be brought to the notice of students in their first year. Unlike Phi Beta Kappa, which but one of the factors of promising ability is considered in electing the Freshman Honor Roll."
The list embraces about ten per cent of the entire membership of the class and is made up from the nominations proposed by instructors of each school to the number of hours for which a student is recommended.
The roll includes fifteen students from Lawrence, a larger number than from any other one place. Kanen writes on an number with five representatives.

There is something good in everything. The weather now offers a good standing excuse for any professor late to class. He can always say that he forgot his rubbers and had to return for them.
A progressive organization downtown and elsewhere sent a member to see the last dress rehearsal of Electra Wednesday night, with a view of possibly reproducing the production. Hill, give the Dramatic Club's efforts a hasty double O a few minutes and then speed back downfortown for other pressing duties. They say the said delegate was so interested in the performance he stayed and stayed and some of the brothers had to drag him to Professor MacMurray and the moral to this was perfectly obvious.

The change in the health conditions was suggested by Dean Olin Templin of the College before he left for Washington in 1917 and has been pending in the Senate Committee on Environmental Amendments since that time.
Radical changes in the department of physical education are under discussion at the University. According to the new plan the department of physical education, the department of athletics and the student hospital will begin a major head in order better heath conditions among University students.
The United States Government has offered to make an appropriation to one higher educational institution in each state that meets the health and equipment standards according to Chancellor Frank Strong. In order to get this appropriation, he said, the department of athletics and health must be committed to providing all will receive the benefits of physical training while in college.
"It has been one of our faults here to train only the few athletes who take part in inter-collegiate sports," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "We have not organized the apartment and uniting them all under one head, the physical condition of all students will be bettered. It will not hurt the inter-collegiate sports and in fact, I believe the chance will make us inter-collegiate contests even keener."
The committee of senate members which will work out the revision of the departments will be appointed at once by Chancellor Strong, and, once elected, will be made and will be working by the opening of the University next fall. There will be a director of health, who will work in co-operation with the director of athletics and all members of the physical education faculty, according to Dean Tempelin's recommendation. The deputy duties will be included in the

"Next fell, I hope to see the students again take up the question and put it over in a big campaign," he added.
