LAWS OPPOSE HONOR SYSTEM
Opposition to the honor system secures the honor law. Some of the Laws say that they don't want to be a bunch of "tattlers", consequently they are going to vote against the honor system. This is a general misunderstanding that is why the Honor System committee is recording to Ester Moore, chairman of the Honor System Committee, it does not necessarily mean that the University will be turned into a group of tale-bearers, for with the menace of being brought before a student from our school before them, few students will cheat.
ENGINEERES STRONG FOR SYSTEM
The School of Engineering is for the statements of the following engine, can be regarded as an indication:
The College is lined up prettily, strongly for the honor system inasmuch as student conversation is an indication. Most of the women of the University are for the system. Some men are undecided and others are for the system. There is very little system, but some students object to the clause calling for the reporting of classmates.
"I am in favor of the honor system and will vote for it," said Homer Engles, president of the School of Engineering.
"Although I am for the honor system, I do not think it will be adopted," said George M. DeVoe, e19, former vice president of the Men's Student Council. "Every one is in favor of such a system, but it is impossible to get through with what you want and it is difficult to get the voters out."
"I am strong for the honor system and expect to vote for it," said Charles A. Keener, e19, editor of The Kansas Engineer. "Although some people say that it should be changed, on the whole it is a step in the right direction."
CHANCELLOR FAVORS SYSTEM
CHANCELLOR FAVORS SYSTEM
"I am strongly in favor of the honor system," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "I hope the students are taught politically and adhere honestly to it. However, I hope they will not vote for it unless they mean to stand honestly by what they say."

THE SENATE SHOULD ACT TUESDAY
The end of an abnormal school year is drawing to a close. The students of the University have complied with more stringent social rules this year than was ever before required of them. The limitations are more stringent than those imposed during the war. It is no more than fair that the Senate should lift the ban and allow organizations to give a "Farewell" part that will come up to the standard of those given in former years and allow dancing until later than the present ruling allows, 12 o'clock.
Students generally agree that the social rules imposed this year are extremely senseless. The strict limitation on organization parties and permitting them to hold but one party later than midnight and that until 1 o'clock only, is one of the present rules for which no legitimate reason can be given. The authorities admit a change must come soon, but want to wait until changes in other departments take place.
The ruling has caused much dissatisfaction and dissention on the Hill this year. It has caused the Disciplinary Committee to call students "on the carpet" with regularity. Unless the Senate acts before school is out the students will finally demand more liberal revisions. Next year will be but a repetition of the troubles of the present year unless these changes are made immediately.
A ruling permitting more parties to last later than midnight would be appreciated by the students and the hour designated by the Senate would be better respected than the midnight ruling if it is retained. It would favor the students' desires.
By announcing rules for next year at this time the Senate would enable the students to plan their parties for next year ahead of time and they would not have to wait until the last minute to formulate necessary plans, as has been the case this year. By publishing the rulings for next year at this time much of the misunderstanding which proved itself to be of such vital importance this year would be eliminated.
The Senate should take this matter up in their June 3 meeting.
Miss Pratt Is Chosen As Recreation Leader At Y.W. Conferences
Director of Woman's Athletic will go to California in Summer for Meetings

Salaries Paid Here Are Blamed For Loss Of K.U. Instructors
Head of Department Compliments Prof. Elmer on Bettering Place
The reason that the University of Kansas loses some of the most efficient instructors is because of the meagre salaries that are paid them, is the substance of a statement made this morning by Dean F. W. Blackman, head of the department of socia-理, in the resignation of Prof M. C. Elmer which accept a position at the University of Minnesota at an increase in salary.
Prof. W. B. Bonderah, a former instructor in the department is expected to return next fall and will resume his work in the department. Professor Bonderah has been on leave from the University one year studying for his Doctor of Philosophy from Harvard University. After hefer, there will be another man who will take the place of Professor Elmer.
WORK WILL CONTINUE AS OUTLINED "While I regret the resignation of Mr. Elmer, the work of the department of sociology, as outlined, will continue under another associate professor who will take his place. Already he has been prepared diligently after plans for the coming year have been made, there is no criticism of his action. If another institution can afford to pay $800.00 to $1000.00 more for a man than he is receiving here it is evident that the University of Kansas could afford to pay the student any money for this purpose, but as it did not we are obliged to accept the inevitable.
"It might be interesting to mention that the importance and responsibility of Sociology in universities is increasing rapidly as the demand for social service increases. I think recent demands show that we could place a large number of students who work in the job market in places like $1,200.00 or $3,500.00 in social work. This statement is backed by the actual demands made by community service agents who have visited us recently.
EXPECTS INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT
authorized by the University forty-three
Sociology in the University of Kansas involves the development of social theory, social investigation and social technology. In the last five years we have emphasized the so-called practical side and our students are obliged to work so far as possible in the social laboratory, namely, human society. The department has done considerable state service work along with faculty members serving - on state commissions and boards. It will be necessary for the University to make arrangements to keep this work going.

We're glad that they can't deprive us of air as well as water and light. In that case there might be a chance of our studies suffering more than they do now because of inclement dispositions and unwashed faces.
One group of University women is looking forward to the coming week with interest, not to say apprehension. Last week saw one engagement of long standing broken; another of holding not so long; also broken; one engagement made to take the place of both of these and one black eye.
Do big feet and unusual intelligence go together? It has been proved by statistics and social surveys that most of the people who obtain divorces are the owners of large feet as announced in a sociology class. An enterprising student had some theories of his own and decided to do a little research on the results. He announced the results of his work and thky tend to show that most of the Phi Beta Kappas are furnished with feet in proportion to their brains.
One of the Seniors, as a parting contribution to the University has suggested that, since the Women's Student Government Association expects to do such a thriving business next year, it might purchase a neat little patrol wagon to make its nightly rounds.

FAMOUS LAST LINES
Prof. Hungerford Finds New Nematode Family
A new family of nematodes has been found by Prof. H. B. Hungerford of the department of entomology. An article by Professor Hungerford and another by Dr. N. A. Cobb, an entomologist of Washington, D. C. describes the manner in which appeared in the June number of the Journal of Parasitology.
Several months ago Professor Hungerford was studying fungus gnats and found this new family of nematodes in the magnets of the gnat which specialized to study fungi. Hungerford sent his discovery to Doctor Cobb in Washington. Doctor Cobb wrote back that Professor Hungerford had not only discovered a new species and genus but an entirely new family. Quite often someone finishes a new specimen and it is a feature rare that an entirly new family is ever discovered.
University Pays Tribute To Memory Of Heroes Who Died In Great War
"Challenge of Wooden Cross" is Theme of the Rev. Earl Austin Blackman
Day's Significance Revived
Chaplain of 130th Field Artillery Tells How Soldiers Received Armistice
Students, faculty and townpeople joined in the services, which were held in Robinson Gymnasium. The lines were halted for a moment for the basketball game, then fifty-four the processional, "The Thirty-Fifth Division March" (McCanley).
"The wooden crosses over the graves of the American soldiers who died in France send a challenge to the American people for a permanent and just peace, that will place the world on a new basis of Christianity," declared Rev. Earl Austin Blackman, chaplain of the 130th Field Artillery, twelve hundred university students from twelve Memorial day exercises for the 121 K. U. men and women who gave their lives in the Great War.
SLOW OF TAPS FOR THE DEAD
Especially fitting was the blowing of "taps" by J. C. McCanes, band director, after Lieut. Paul A. Diehl of the 18th Field Artillery had read the names of the 121 University of Kansas men and women who have fallen in the service. The invocation was by the Reverend Mr. Blackman.
"The significance of Memorial Day had nearly been forgotten in the days before the War," declared the Reverend Mr. Blackman. "People took care of the graves and to generally spend the day in sport. But in this, the first Memorial Day since the close of the war in which so many of our boys died that we might live the graves of the boys we bowe our heads in respectful prayer.
"In this country, from what I hear, there was great jubilation throughout the whole land when the news came that the armistice was signed, at an end. There was nothing like that in the fighting forces overseas.
SILENCE IS OPERESSIVE
"I remember distinctly the morning of November 11; early in the day the shells began to go over in spurs. Later on, the larger guns joined in, and the fire increased in intensity until at the last hour, from 10 o'clock until 11 o'clock, the sky seemed a solid mass of flame.
"The 130th Artillery band was drawn up in front of headquarters, all lined up while the shelling of the Germans was most intense. At precisely the 11th hour, the shelling came to a halt and the band raised his baton, and the band took out triumphantly into the regimental air, "The Old Gray Mare."
"But there was no jubilation on the part of the men. After the band stopped playing, such a silence fell over them as I shall never forget. No one realized that the war was not all realized that a real, and possibly greater struggle was left for the Americans to fight—the War of Principle."
