Student and Disciplinary Committees will Present Plan at Special Meeting
Plan to be Adopted by Vote
If Passed by Senate Present Program Will be Discussed at Convocation
To agree upon an honor system worked out and completely managed by students is the object of the special meeting of the University Senate which has been called by Chancellor Strong for 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. This question will occupy the entire time of the meeting
The two student committees on the honor system which have been working on a plan of procedure for several weeks, met with the Disciplinary Committee last Thursday afternoon. Esther Moore, Mary Sampson, Helen Olsen and Jessie Martindale represented the women of the University; Dwight Smith and Luther Hangen the men. The student committees working in conjunction with the Disciplinary Committee, outlined a plan which will be presented to the special Senate meeting Wednesday, and if passed by the Senate will be voted upon by the student body. The program will be presented to the Senate through the Disciplinary Committee and will be explained to the students at a convocation probably to be held May 20.
The plan includes four points, as follows:
1. Every student will sign a pledge at the beginning of the school year and after every examination, pledging himself to honor.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 12, 1910.
2. The student agrees to report any violation of the honor system.
3. The presence of the instructor is optional at examination hours.
4. Penalty for violations of the rules will be in the hands of a student committee elected by the student body.

lazy to read a paper from outside the campus.
After the plan is presented to the students at convocation, which will be in the hands of the students also, a week of publicity will be carried on, in which time the students are to be informed of every point of the program. After due publicity has been given, will be given the chances to vote on May 28. A majority vote will be necessary for adoption of the plan.

The chief president and central council of Silsia, according to a wireless message, have issued a proclamation renouncing the Peace Treaty and declaring that the transfer of the greater part of upper Diledia cannot produce a lasting peace but only a peace of desperation for Silsia.
Fifteen Million Americans bought Victory bonds in the campaign which closed Sunday night, May 10, according to estimates received May 11, by the National treasury from federal reserve banks.

Capt. Joseph W. Murray
Reviews Argonne Battle
rog Played Tricks When 35th Went Over Top to Take Town of Exermont
A reception to Capt. Joseph W. Murray, 119th Ammunition Train, Friday night at the University Club was turned into an Argonne party when fifty friends who had assembled to welcome Captain Murray began asking questions of the work of the 36th Division, to which he was attached. Captain Murray was back and forth between the front line and the ammunition dumps from the morning that the 35th Division until six days later it had driven a wedge into the little town of Exemern, having outstripped the divisions on either side and having gone beyond the objectives set for it.
"When the fog was dense," said Captain Murray, "every man who came back wounded reported that only he and 'two other fellows were left and that the company was all cut to pieces." Once when the fog lifted suddenly Capt. Tony James and I were right in front of a German machine gun. We plunged into shell holes quickly and the bullets clipped over our heads a second later. James's company cook had insisted on getting into the battle and was near us. A shell blew him out of his refuge with out injuring him perceptibly. He got the two German machine guns with his pistol after being so summarily ejected from shelter."
Captain Murray was formerly a member of the journalism department faculty and was city editor of the Journal-World before the war. His newspaper practice in observation and the opportunity he had to see much of the Argonne Battle made his descriptions vivid.

Alibis of Students Branded as Untrue by County Attorney Wilson
Final Plea by Uncle Jimmy
Hopfer and Shaw are now Released on Bond of $500
Trial of Otto Hopfer and Wallace Shaw,摩押ores charged with assaulting and robbing Jose Cajucum, a student from the Philippines, resulted in a mistrial Saturday and the case was continued for a second trial at the November term of the district court. The jury took the case late Friday afternoon and was excused an hour later. After deliberating Saturday until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the judge said they could not agree. The jury is said to have stood four for conviction and eight for acquittal.
Hopfer and Shaw were released on $100 bond each. Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law, made a plea for acquittal. He said that the hazing of Cajucum was a matter for the University Discipline Committee to investigate and preserve punishment and not a fit subject for court jurisdiction. He has been a witness for life and his family disgraced for a possible thoughtless bovish frank
J. B. Wilson, county attorney, at tacked sharply in his summing up before the jury, the veracity of Hopfer's and Shaw's alibis. The references to Cajucum by Edward Riling, attorney for Hopfer and Shaw, were just as complimentary as Mr. Wilson's arraignment of Hopfer and Shaw.

Here's one who will not wear his freshman cap. He may say that he is not a freshman as he was at Poly Tech last year but if you remember as far back as January he would have been in his freshman class. Yes, he must be a freshman. Here's his name.

Graduates Must Attend in Person for Diplomas
Seniors Expected to Remain for Class and Commencement Day Events
All candidates for degrees shall be required to be present at the Commencement exercises and receive their diplomas in person unless excused by the Chancellor upon recommendation by the Dean of the school in question. This ruling was passed by the University Senate March 6, 1917.
"The above ruling, which will be effective this year, was removed last year on account of War conditions," said Luthen Hangen, president of the Senior class. "This will mean that all students to be graduated this year will have to remain for class day and also be present on Graduation Day."
Plain Tales From the Hill
"Can you make $144 any easier?" asked the summer camp booster. "Yes," snarled the Sarcastic Stude. "By digging ditches."
How to carry an arm load of books, hold a parasol and still assist the lady is a question that bothered many a valiant young gentleman on the Hill this morning.
An overseas soldier in noticing a train of empty cattle cars passing remarked, "It sure makes me home sick and restless to see all those prefectly good billets going to waste."
If you don't know, make them think you know, is the theory too many students hold.
One student got 106 and another 9 in a quiz out of a possible 120. The 106 student was classed as super human and the 9 student was advised to get out of the class.
Kansas women are like those of Missouri in one respect. They have to be shown you love them as simply telling don't count.
FAMOUS LAST LINES Where's your raincoat?
Enemy Alien Is Shown Door By Col. Walker
German Angered by Refusal to Employ Him on Engineering Faculty
One of Wilhelm's own subjects, unnaturalized and with no desire whatever to become naturalized, applied to Dean P. F. Walker today for a position on the faculty or the School of Engineering. He said he came from Mexico.
"I learned he was a foreigner," said Colonel Walker, "so I asked him for his naturalization papers, and when they don't have any, I invited him to leave."
The German took his departure reluctantly and seemed very much insulted to think that an American university wouldn't consider a perfectly good German for a member of its faculty. He explained this to Dean Waker in his lecture at Carnegie University, who could possibly get in on his way to the door. His visit with the Dean was brought to an abrupt close by an indignant slam of the door.
At a meeting of the Lawrenze branch of the Collegiate Alumni Association Saturday at the home of Mrs. H. L. Perkins, the association voted to the proceeds of the lunch-to a fund of $200, which it will raise for the purpose of furnishing an A. C. A. living room in the new cooperative house which is to be provided women students in the near future. At an auction which was held several weeks ago, more than $100 was raised toward this fund, and the rest will be raised during the summer.
A. C. A. Presents Play Written by Hearty Brown
After luncheon was served, a short play, written by Hearty Brown, was presented by the members of the club. A report was given by Miss Margaret Lynn of the recent A. C. A. meeting in St. Louis and Dr. Ida H. Hyde also made a report of the new bureau of Collegiate Alumnae, which has been established at her suggestion.

Kansas lost the annual dual outdoor track meet with Missouri on McCook Field Saturday afternoon, 49 to 60. With Lewis and Sylvester, foremost field event and hurdle stars of the Missouri Valley, Missouri was able to turn the tide and take the lead out of Kansas' hands in time to grab off the final two counts that put the Yellow and Black on the safe side of a 54 score.
"Chuck" Lewis of Missouri was the individual point winner with sixteen points to the good, Haddock getting fifteen points by taking firsts in the 100-yard and 220 dashes and the disc throw.
In the first event, the 100-yard dash, Haddock came in first with Clift close behind, both Missouri men three to four yards to the bad.
DEWALL RUNS BEAUTIFUL RACE
Dewall runs a beautiful race to win the mile, Goodwin of Missouri coming in ten yards behind. Minton and Sylvester easily won the 120-yard high hurdles, Wetty falling out at the third hurdle. Minton, by his win of a first in this race, got his "M" after being out for track four years, at the air of the Tiger. Haddock won the disc throw by three inches, Lewis of Missouri taking the other three points. The quarter was won by Barlow of Missouri, after Clift had gotten a lead of ten yards in the first half lap.
Sylvester and Minton easily cleaned up on the 220 low hurdles, Duff, being badly beaten. Lewis and Marshall split the first place honors in the pole vault at 11 feet 6 inches, Welty and Heizer of K.U. both knocking off the cross bar at that height.
Parker of Missouri beat Rodkey in by twenty yards, after Rodkey had ran his heart out leading the whole race up to the final straightway. Haddock and Cliff repeated their performance in the 220 dash. Welty and Lewis tied in the high jump at 5 feet 7 inches, and divided the eight points. Marxen placed second in the shot put after making forty feet in practice before the event, Lewis of Missouri getting first with 38 feet 8 inches.
ing easily a half-lap ahead of Goodwin of Missouri. Parker who won for Missouri in the indoor meet in Kansas City this spring played out, and finished the last half-lap at a walk. Taking second in the mile gave Missouri 52 points out of the 55 win to the meet, and Syvester came in with second place in the broad jump and cleared the score sheet. Rodkey made a leap of 21 feet 3½ on his final try going over Syvester's best jump by 3 inches. The final event was the relay and Missouri won it. Duff and Edwards started and ran the whole quarter at a 220 pace, finishing the stretch to together and set Brownlee and Dewall off with scarcely a yard's distance lead on Dewall and turned the lead over to Parker who kept it through his race with O'Leary. Clift started out like a bullet and caught up and passed Barlow, final Missouri sprinter, by eight yards, but couldn't stand the pace and coming down the straight Barlow slid past him and finished five yards in the lead.
