Students Indifferent Toward Honor System Ballot In Snow Hal
NUMBER 152.
At 1:30 Today An Estimate
Showed Only 650
Ballots Cast
Lack of Interest and Publicity Assigned for Apparent Defeat of Plan
Need 1,650 Votes to Carry
Up to 1:30 o'clock this afternoon only 650 votes had been cast on the Honor System at the polls in the town of Saginaw, where voters were women, said Rilla Hammet, president of the W. S. G. A., who supervised the voting. Inasmuch as 1650 votes in favor of the Honor System would be carried, rina bing but defeat is in sight.
The fact of the small vote is ex- pended by Miss Hamnet as due to t he fact that the engineers and fine a students were unable to come in t act with the electors, as their b lings are so far away from Snow I
o men were electioneering during a part of the election. Neither the Y. M. Cabinet nor the Men's Student Council actively participated in bringing voters to the polls, according to Miss Hammet.
Nearly all of the students who voted were in favor of the Honor System. Those not in favor of the Honor or System failed to cast their ballot
Modern Science Defeats Purpose Of Evolution Says Zoology Professor
Question of Survival of Race Depends on Natural Selection, Says Dr. Allen
"Will the human race have totally vanished from the face of the earth in twenty thousand years?" was the astonishing climax of one of Dr. B. M. Allen's lectures to one of his classes in zoology, who were studying the evolution of the human species in relation to structure.
"The present race of man, according to the current and well-founded biological and scientific theory, has come from the lower animals by process of natural selection, or as popularly called, the survival of the fitter, the better, even up to recent times and to a very great extent in the development of the human race to its present high standard, in physical condition, ethics, and intellectual power. That is the feeble minded were unable to provide a living for themselves, and accorded to their died without descendants, who died with histties died, and only those in whom the appendix was not developed lived.
"In the present day, with the high standard of morals of the present compared with those of even a century ago, feeble-minded persons do not die from inability to cope with the hardships of the world, they are cared for by their children, and appendices do not die when they get appendicitis, they are operated on and live, but their children, and their children's children have the same large appendix and susceptibility to appendicitis. People particularly susceptible to certain diseases, do not die off and be replaced by those not susceptible, as would happen if the theory of natural selection allowed it to thrive. Appendices were widened and survive to pass their weakness down through their descendants.
"The human race is bound to go either forward or backward in its physical condition," said Dr. Allen, "and I merely wish to leave this question with you. 'What and where will the human race be in ten thousand years, if every weakling is protected and allowed to propagate the race.'"
Haddock in New York on His Way to France

Kansan Sport Writer Defends Track Team Against Journal-World
Raps Editorial Writer for Insi uations About Team in Kansas City
The Lawrence Journal-World came out with an editorial in Tuesday's issue of their paper saying that the K. U. track men lost at the Missouri State University, where the captain could not keep the men straight during their stop-off in Kansas City, Mo. The editorial writer went further and said that Universities should themselves, and made insulting instinations about the K. U. students.
By Edgar L. Hollis
What does the writer know of conditions at K. U? Nothing but hearsay and probably not that. The writer has a peculiar idea about journalism. The wilder, the better, seems to be his idea of writing both editorials and articles in newspapers. The paper should boost the University, not knock it. The writer will not go into details and tell what the men did in the city who broke over. No, not that man. He is afraid someone might object too strenuously. What did the boys do with Mr. Writer? A did he kill all the editors or something? What did they do? How do you know what they did? Do you know?
The Kansas track situation has been commented upon several times this year. The editorial writer in the city paper feels that he must break into the big league column and cuss out his, no, not his, University.
If several writers of the city would pay a little more attention to K. U. sport they might be able to see where he stands in a race, boost once in a while—which it eards. A chronic kicker does the world no good, especially when he says things which he does not specifically point at. Does this mean he would insultate? It seems that he is.

"Oh," quoth the prof, who was on to her game, "Scientists are not agreed upon the exact year, but its a small matter, a mere difference of me or two million years makes very little difference."

Kansas Enters Five Men in Chicago Track Meet
Five members of the Kansas track squad will leave Lawrence Thursday to participate in the Western Conference track meet at Chicago Friday.

Both the mile and half-mile relay will be entered, O'Leary, Duff, Clift Rodkey and Dewall all being possibilities for the relay teams.
The loss of Haddock, Sylvester, and Watson, who are on their way to France, greatly weakens the midwest schools in the meet, but as the "Big Ten" schools have lost correspondingly as much in their great athletes, the meet may result favorably for the Missouri valley people.
Petition Charges Professor Patterson With Misconduct in Office
The Senate Fails to Act
Scrap Between the Two Professors Started Over the Miners' Dance, May 28
Professor Haworth insisted on personal right and holding that his petition should receive some consideration.
Just before the close of the University Senate meeting Tuesday afternoon, Prof. Erasmus Haworth introduced a petition asking the removal of Mr. Haworth from the head of the disciplinary committee for proper conduct in office. The petition was handed to the secretary and was read to the Senate but before any vote was taken on the petition, Prof. A. T. Walker made a movement to adjourn.
"I am perfectly willing to have my conduct investigated" said Professor Patterson. "I have done only what I considered my duty."
SENATE FAILS TO ACT
my thing being done.
MINERS' DANCE STARTS SCRAP
When the Senate failed to take action on the petition, Professor Haworth said that he would appeal directly to the Chancellor about the matter. He was reminded that there was an appeal to appease because the senate had taken action what so ever. The senate was informed without any thing being done.
MINERS' DANCE STARTS SCRAP
The scrap between Professor Haworth and Professor Patterson started last week, at the university and geologists' banquet. When Professor Patterson refused to let the students dance after their banquet, Professor Haworth entered the powwow and said that he was responsible for the action of the students under his leadership. The primary committee should hold him and the students accountable for the senate rules. Professor Patterson showed that the dance after the banquet would be breaking practically senate ruling covering social affairs and won by a vote given, however, before the banquet from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock, thereby avoiding the scrap with the senate.
The miners' and geologists' scrap is the basis for the whole affair and because of Professor Patterson's dedication for his removal was presented.
There will probably be an investigation of some kind made about the accusation of Professor Patterson's misconduct in office.
"The disciplinary committee is entirely to severe" said Professor Haworth this morning. "It is dominating my treatment. It makes my heart ache to score of students come to me with troubles. Students say they are going to leave the institution if some change is not made. There is nothing else I can do and the trouble over the miners' and geologists' dance did not start it."
Professor Patterson would make no statement for publication.
