Professor Elmer Accepts Position At University Of Minnesota Next Fall
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY AFTEROON, MAY 29, 1019.
K. U. Faculty Member Will be Associate Professor of
Sociology
Prof. M. C. Elmer, associate professor of sociology, has resigned his position here and will go to the University of Minnesota, to accept a position of similar rank for $3,300 the first year and $3,600 the second. He has been at the University since 1916.
Professor Elmer said today he had never received better treatment anywhere, that the department and administration helped him in every movement he had advocated and that he was leaving because Minnesota was under his control there in Kansas. He will not leave until the close of the summer session.
Professor Elmer was granted the degree of B. S. from Northwestern College in 1911; his A. M. from Illinois University in 1912 and his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1913. He was professor of sociology and economics at Fargo College in 1914-1916 and was lecturer at the summer session in Minnesota in 1916.
Must Get Ahead of Age
Says Bishop Quayle
Tells Students Life is Better as it Goes Further
on
"I used to go out in the country and see the hunters shoot qualis," said Bishop W. A. Qauley, in an address to two hundred students at a banquet in his honor at the First Methodist Church Wednesday night, "and I observed that the hunters had to shoot some distance ahead of the bird to bring it down; in fact, they were not shooting at the bird at all.
"It is the same way with the modern problems of life," Bishop Quayle declared. "We will get ahead of them. The age will not wait for you, like a street car."
"The world speaks of a new era in the universe—it does not mean a millenium; it does not expect a new gender in mankind to help men and women, but it does expect, and is experiencing a gradual growth that we have seen since 1945, who shoots ahead of the bird. The ideals of the world grow better and the people must keep ahead, rather than follow."
Bishop Quayle was introduced by the Reverend S. S. Klyne, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Lawndale, by the young people of the church.
The bishop spoke very enthusiastically in favor of Bible study, saying that intensive study of the Bible put the younger generation at the forefront of the world, helped the world to advance its ideals. He assured the students that from his own experiences that life was better as it went further on, and encouraged them to be ahead of their advancing years by the maintenance of the highest ideals.

America commemorates this Memorial Day fifty-six thousand new heroes—fifty-six thousand men who gave their all to preserve civilization. They died desiring life, but yielding it none the less willingly for an ideal—because they believed with all their hearts what the man in the White House had said: "The world must be made safe for democracy."
PRO PATRIA
Though the war they fought was the first to bring the Stars and Stripes into alliance with Europe, the principle was the old one for which America has always been ready to sacrifice her best. Wilson's words, the battle-cry of the men in khaki, were only the echo of Washington, the Great Leader, of Lincoln and McKinley, the Martyred. Every American soldier who gave up his life in this or any other war made the supreme sacrifice for the same ideal.
With bowed head and moist eyes, America places a wreath of laurel on the tomb of the immortal fifty-six thousand. Her grief for them is the more poignant because the wound is fresh, but she will always remember with gratitude the woman who wore the blue, as well as those who wore the olive drab. Yet grief is not her only thought, for she lifts her face to the heavens and gives fervent thanks for the safe return of the millions who were ready for the supreme sacrifice but whose lives were not needed to complete America's victory.
Seniors To Vote On A Suitable Memorial Class Day, June 9
Fourteen Projects Will Be Pre sented — All But Four to Be Eliminated
On Class Day, June 9, all seniors will be given an opportunity to express their opinions regarding a suitable memorial to University men who died in the service, but no definite action will be taken by the University until next fall. The memorial commissioners are expected to present a University Senate, members of the Men's Student Council and of the Women's Student Government Association reached this decision at their meeting Wednesday night. Seniors will be presented with a ballot on behalf of the senators listed and each will be asked to eliminate as unsuitable all but four of these plans.
The students will be asked to consider these points: appropriateness, adequateness, influence on public spirit, permanence, publicity value, usefulness, cost, maintenance and appeal to generosity.
The fourteen projects on which the seniors will be asked to vote are: armory, auditorium, campanile and chimes, student building, gate and trophy room, health building, loan fund, memorial grove, monument, recreation ground, stadium, tablet, University chairs, and research fund.
Folders are being prepared by a committee composed of Prof. L. N. Flint, Rilla Hammat and John Monteith. These will give information regarding each of the proposed memorials. Folders will also be provided for the alumni, friends and faculty of the University.
Request for a civil engineering student, to do work in drafting, surveying and inspecting this summer, has been received from Prof. H. A. Rice from Harry V. Becker, e12, now emeritus, at Cornell University, who was a merger in the 304th Engineers, 89th Division, and recently returned from France.
The vote of the seniors will not be regarded as final. Its purpose is to give those who are leaving school an opportunity to express their opinion. A vote of the other students will be taken eventually, but the committee did not feel that there was sufficient time left in the term for the students to consider this question and the honor system also.

Engineer Needed for Surveying
W.S. G.A. Approves Resolutions Offered By Y.W. And Y.M.C.A
Dancing Smoking, Athletics and the Honor System Considered in the Recommendation
Memorial Day for many years has been given up to the memory of the fallen heroes of the Civil War. It is eminently fitting that the same day should be used as a memorial not only for those who helped make free the nation and fall in its cause, but also those who died in order that the world might be free. Among the many thousands who made the great sacrifices none are more worthy of honor than the students and graduates of the University of Kansas. Because of our great appreciation of their service and the credit they have reflected upon their alma mater we hold the memorial service on Friday, the 20th of May
MEMORIAL DAY
Resolutions tending to the betterment of the University were presented at a meeting of the W. S. G. A. by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night The W. S. G. A. adopted the resolutions not approved of re-funding the spirit of what he for the University, so the speaker at the meeting said
The Resolutions are as follows:
No. 1. Student-Faculty Relations
Believing that the many difficult problems of University life can never be adequately and permanently solved between faculty and students, we think there should be: (1) On the part of the University authorities, more frequent explanations of University rulings and penalties for their violation. (2) On the part of the university comprehensive explanation of these rulings to all members of each incoming freshman class; (2) On the part of the students, there must be maintained a greater spirit of cooperation between them and their No. II. Enforcement of Regulations;
Believing law enforcement a factor of the greatest importance in University life, we favor (1) the enforcement of all present rulings and pledge our support in backing such enforcement. $(\textcircled{2})$ We believe that all regulations which in their present form are undesirable or unenforceable should be removed and made to make them desirable and enforced. No III. Honor System.
Believing that the development of plain, simple honesty and trustworthiness is imperative for the good of the University and for good citizenship, we heartily favor the establishment of an Honor System at the University of Kansas, in accordance with the requirements set forth by the University-Statute Honor System Committee and as amended by the Senate. No. IV. Dancing:
FRANK STRONG.
Chancellor.
(2) Since much of the criticism against dancing has been caused by the costumes worn at dances, it is the hope that the wearing of such costumes will be discouraged. No V. Smoking.
(1) Because certain forms of dancing (such as the jazz, ticket-toe, shimmy, cheek-to-check, and moonlight) are bad form, they should be prohibited.
(1) We realize that smoking is largely an individual matter, and, consequently, must be dealt with in that

All University Will Honor Heroes At Memorial Services Friday
Plain Tales From the Hill
Did you ever
Wonder
What the Ants
Do
In the winter time
When
There are no picnics
To
Attend?
Professor, (expounding a principle in Municipal Government class)—"There are two reasons why a student attends the University, first to get a liberal education and second, to educate father to be liberal."
In the short story class a love story had just been told in which the heroine proposed to the hero by singing him a song. Everything was quiet and then Miss Lewis said, "Oh, that gives me an idea! But I can not sing."
At this time of year a stranger on the campus would marvel at the beautiful state of comaraderie which seems to exist between the professors and the dear students. They talk together in the class room or on the campus and they greet each other always with a smile. Is it because Spring has come or because quizzes are coming?
The question is—Did the geologists dance last night, or didn't they?
"Last night the Men's Student Council woke us.
It sang in the golden moonlight—"Some people were not able to decide whether the sermenders were memorialized or not, and the Y.M.C.A. It has been suggested that the Women's Student Council take up the practice, as there seems to be something in the night air and something that changes one's point of view.
What right have the Owls, we ask, to interfere with other birds' digestions. For, if it is true that excitement or consciousness of immediate danger hinders the normal working of one's interior no one could deny the owners at the girls' stateroom houses Tuesday night ate under difficulties.
At one house one of the Owl-waterpiedes was a Sigma Nu. In recognition, the girls started to sing the song that begins, "Sigma Nu, Sigma Nu-" but what might have been a dreadful monotone asteroid. French dressing from a salad plate, being removed by the aforementioned waiter flowed down suddenly over one girl's hair and face. The song switched in the middle without warning to the Sig Alph song, which is the most one looked chagrimed, motioned frantically to one another and finally ended triumphantly with, "My Sigma Nu."
A law abolishing the wearing of mustaches on the campus is being considered seriously by the Men's Student Council.
FAMOUS LAST LINES Remember the Secret Police.
Miners And Geologists Avoid Senate Scrap
Annual Banquet Preceded by Dancing From 6 o'Clock to 8 o'Clock Wednesday
"In spite of Professor Patterson's and Miss Corbin's efforts to stop the Miner's party Wednesday night in Haworth, Hall was given juju counsel by the president of the School of Engineering. "The University rules were observed as far as the hour of dancing was concerned but the pins previously made were worn."
The students danced in the two museums on the first floor of Haworth Hall from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock, thus evading the rule to the letter, as students are not under jurisdiction until after 8 o'clock.
At 8 o'clock dinner was served to seventy-five persons. Prof. R. C Moore was toastmaster in place of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, who was called out of town on business. Prof. A. C. Terrill gave a short talk on "Tricks in all Trades." He did clever slight of hand tricks and his talk was very enjoyable. Emmett Elledge gave an impromptu talks were given by Sherwin Kelly, Howard Cress, Eloise McNutt and Galen Gorrill.
Prof. R. Grider was expected to give a talk on his travels in the Andes Mountains, but could not be present. The party ended at 10 o'clock.
