Bill Board Ball Woman Attacks Helpless Cub To Gain Free Publicity
NUMBER 109
Journalism Professional Sorority Will Give Annual Dance April 12
F. A.U.Floor Wins Over Gym
Promoter of Scribes' Festival Talks Large About Decorations and Music
The manager of the Bill Board Ball was all excited as she skipped into The Daily Kansan office and cornered the nearest cub just as he was arising from his weatherbeaten typewriter and bearing a sigh of relief.
"I gotta 'signment for you," she chirped, and twisted a wiry hand into a corner of the cub's coat.
MAKES MODEST DEMAND
The cub reached wearily for a sheet of copy paper and prepared to take notes on the monologue which he felt was to follow.
MAKES MODEST DEMAND "It's about the Billboard Bail," she said, cheerfully. "We haven't had anything in the paper about it yet, but we ought to have a top head today."
The cub shuddered as he thought of attempting to write a "five" story about a mere dance, and the "manageress" caught his idea.
"Oh, this will make a good story," she breezed. "You know Theta Sigma Phi, journalism professional sorority, gives it every year, and it's the only rival the Journalism Jazz possesses. Why, everyone is waiting for us to announce the date and tell where it will be pulled off."
SAYS GYM FLOOR IS ROUGH
"When and where?" asked the cub shortly of interest.
"F. A, U. April 12," said the promoteress. "You know so many people always object to dancing on the Gym floor that we've decided to have it downtown this time. The F. A, U. floor has just been gone over and couldn't be better. Be sure and tell 'em that."
"And oh, the decorations," she exclaimed. "Better put something in about them, for they're going to be awfully clever. I can't tell even you just what, but they'll be on the livestock stock. And put in that the programs will be mighty nifty. They're being printed right now."
"Anything else?"
PUT IN JUST ANYTHING
"Oh sure!" said the publicity seeker. "I mustn't forget about the music. There will be Haley himself, B revenge and the traps. Just mention their names in the lead, that's enough. People will know by that what a keen party it's going to be."
The cub felt dejectedly in his pocket "How much?" he asked, hopefully.
"One dollar and fifty cents," she replied. "Just put in anything crazy in your story. I don't care. But be sure to do it loudly, and write it so people will read it."
Having said which the promoter grinned a half-second smile and skipped out of the office. And the cub tenderly smoothed the wrinkles from the corner of his coat and grinned fatiously.

College Women Needed In Legislative Heads K.U.Students Are Told
Mrs. Prentis and Mrs. Johnston Workers for University Halls of Residence Guests at Tea
Mrs. Noble Prentis and Mrs. W. A.
Johnston and Mrs. Frank Strong were
the guests of honor at the reception
for the women of the University given
by Miss Alberta Corbin on Wednesday,
40 oclock in her rooms in Fraser Hall.
Mrs. Prentis spoke on "My experiences and What I Have Found Worth While," and is greatly in favor of the establishment of women's dormitories here.

"The Legislature will do anything to protect hogs from cholera and cattle from diseases," said Mrs. Prentis, "but movements for the betterment of the health of the women and children are sadly neglected.
"Since I have just celebrated my seventy-two birthday anniversary," said Mrs. Prentis, "I thought it might be interesting to tell of what I have found worth while in life. I am a firm believer in women's fitting themselves for the legislature, if the women are interested in educational and political institutions. This is a most opportune time to see the results of women empowerment. The young girls are the hope of the movement. Susan B. Anthony and her友们 have护获 the way and the younger women must continue the work."
Two of the things which Mrs. Preen thinks vital as a part of the education of a young woman are to cultivate a fine speaking voice which will convince her hearers of what she says, and to make of herself a clever stryter teller. She advocates the tallored woman and does not think the "knobs," which the young women wear over their ears, are becoming.
Mrs. Johnston made a short talk at the close of Mrs. Prentis' talk. She favors the young women becoming interested in the legislative movements and urges them to use their influence over the representatives from their districts for the establishments of Women's dormitories here.

R.O.T.C.Not Emergency Training Corps, Says Colonel H. D.Burdick
Men Will be Instructed During Four Years' College Course and in Summer Camps
Expect To Train Officers
Infantry, Coast Artillery, Signal Artillery, Ordnance and Motor Transport Corps Classes
"The Reserve Officers Training Corps which will be established at the University of Kansas this coming fall must not be compared nor confused with the Students' Training, Corps, which is just being disbanded," Col. H. D. Burdick today. "The two corps are as far as an can伸 as students in Army Training Corps was to train men to be common soldiers, was an emergency institution and at the best was entirely superficial.
"The Reserve Officers Training Corps is being adopted to train reserve officers. The course will include courses which will extend throughout the state and perhaps three summer camps of from four to six weeks' duration.
"The object of the R.O.T.C. is primarily to train men as officers. It was found in this war that most of our officers came from men of University timber. The University man had the advantage over the man who did not have the University training and adapted himself quicker to the training as given in the Officers Training Camps.
FOUR YEARS TO TRAIN AN OFFICER
"Had the University man been equipped with certain fundamental military knowledge he could have been trained for his duties much more quickly-than was taken in getting him ready for his duties as an officer. It takes at least four years to make an officer, where that officer spends all of his college time on military subjects. And although the R.O.T.C. courses do not expect to attain for the men who will desire to enroll, the same standard as developed in om Government Academies, yet the training in the R.O.T.C. will be of infinite value to the young man and to the government in case of need.
"It is now planned to offer courses in the following departments, infantry, coast artillery, signal corps, engineers, ordnance and motor transportation. These courses will be open to all men of the University who enter this fall and to all former service men who can pass examinations qualifying them to enter upon second and third year work.
STUDENTS ENROLL. NOT "ENLIST"
"It must be clearly understood that there is nothing compulsory about these courses. There will be no such thing as enlisting. There will be no military drills held during the school year unless are men who request it."
The University of Kansas is classified as a class III college. This means a college at which there is neither military drill which is compulsory as at a distinctly military school, nor incurred as at a hand grant institution. The course of the class II type will receive their military drills at the summer camps.
"The uniform will not be worn unless a student elects to wear it during the school year. In other worlds the courses and class room work will parallel the form of classes in any other department in the University. It is baped that former service men will show interest in the R.O.T.C. by cooperating with the Military department.
The first year work will be the same for all branches. The credits given will be the equivalent to six hours for the first year. The work will be taken course on the physical training as required in the R.O.T.C. courses.
