AnnualK.U.-M.U. Debate Is Awarded To Missouri
Sentiment Expressed That Contest Was Even, Says
Coach
The University of Kansas lost the debate with the University of Missouri by a unanimous decision Friday night, at Columbia. Kansas was represented by Louis Severson, Edwin Price and Ferdinand Stueve.
Although the decision was given to Missouri many expressed the sentiment that it was a toes-up between the two teams. The judges were O. H. Pratt, a lawyer from Kansas City, Mo., who had been coach from Fulton College, Fulton, Mo., and Dr. Frederick M. Smith from Independence, Mo.
"We don't feel badly about the defeat. We don't feel that we were inferior to our opponents at all," said Coach Henry Shinn, "hut our failure to get the decision was just on account of a bit of bad luck but we were quite resolute and one speaker forgot his lines. Our men showed every well in rebuttal.
"In the rebuttal there was a clash of main issues, and Price showed splendidly. He spoke extemporaneously for ten minutes and it was the best speech I have ever heard on any university platform. Price was well supported by Stuewe and Severson in rebattul.
"Missouri ignored our best argument" he continued, "and the Kansas boys felt more at ease in rebalanced work, undoubtedly. In all, it was a very even debate, and if we had not had our bit of poor luck, we would have come back with a different record."
The two debating teams and their coaches had a banquet after the debate. The K. U. team returned to Lawrence Saturday.
"What Kansas needs is a good strong University backing," said Henor Shinn. "Missouri turned out 500 strong."
Prof. MacMurray Recovers Prof. Arthur MacMurray, who has been suffering from blood poisoning, is much better and expects to be able to meet his classes in three or four days.

Prof. Henry Shinn is conducting Prof. MacMurray's classes as well as his own in the meanwhile.
Interpreter of Dickens
Gains Approval of Audience
Mr. William Sterling Battis, impsonator, gave a valuable and interesting program Friday afternoon in Fraser Chapel. Various characters from the books of Charles Dicken were interpreted, some of the best impersonations being those of Uriah Heep and Mr. Micaewer of "David Copperfield," from the Littell Nell from the Old Curiosity Shop." Weller of the "Pickwick Papers," and Sydney Carton, hero of the "Tale of Two Cities."
For the people who knew Dickens well, Mr. Battis brought the characters before them again accurately and in a manner which did not spoil the stories in any way for them as so many productions of well-known stories and story-book characters do. For those who were only slightly familiar with Dickens, the imponator managed to create an interest in the novels and no doubt many left the performance with a determination to read all of Dickens' books.

Elihu Root declared himself Sunday night an advocate of the league of nations covensant made public at the peace conference provided it is amended primarily by writing enforcement clauses into the article calling for arbitration and limitation of armament, by restrictions to five years the unanimous guaranty of the present political and territorial status of members and the protection from non-American interference in the affairs of the American continent. He made his approval contingent also upon amendments assuring periodic revision of international law and a general redrafting of the conventant in an atmosphere removed by several years from issues attendant upon the settlement of a world war.
That Japanese corporations have been granted concessions to exploit agricultural lands in Lower California was the statement made late Sunday by Gen. Amado Aguirre, under secretary of development and agriculture. The affirmation was made, however, that the concessions were authorized by the provisions of the Mexican constitution regarding the area and position of the territory in relation to the ocean and the frontier line. There was nothing in the concessions it was asserted, by the under-secretary, that might lead to difficulty as far as the Monroe Doctrine was concerned.
Communist Troops invaded German West Humbur, but were repulsed after several conflicts with the inhabitants, according to a dispatch from Berlin quoting the Vossische Zeitung as stating that a deputation from the West Hungary arrived Friday in Vienna to report to Secretary of State Bauer concerning the invasion. Many houses were plundered and burned.
An American Patrol Friday raided the Bolshev line of communication south of Bolshoi Ozera, causing considerable confusion among an enemy relief detachment going forward into that town. Bolshev artillery fartled heavily shelled the American positions at Neimar and at Vaga.
The Intransigeant from Paris prints that the indemnity which Germany must pay for the damages of the war has been fixed at a figure between 150,000,000,000, and 250,000,000,000 francs. The yearly payments will in crease as Germany's economic life reives.
All seniors and graduate students who are enrolled in the Teacher's Appointment Bureau should file their cases for the third quarter at once.
"No more reforms in the present economic and political system will be supported. Our whole plan is revolution," declared C. E.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 31, 1919.
Council Sets Election Date and Plans to Enforce Cap Tradition
Student Day Program Will Be Worked Out Soon By Men's Council
A "Rube Day" was suggestive, because of the success it has had at Manhattan and other schools. A committee was appointed to plan the entire day and present it to the council at its next meeting.
The freshman cap question was discussed and the council went on records as being in favor of some sort of paddling to enforce the custom. This will be brought up at the Student Interest Committee meeting Saturday.
Freshman Cap Custom Upheld By Chancellor
Conforming to Reasonable Student Tradition Good for Individual. Dr. Strong Savs
Urging first year students to obey the rules of the University and conform with the freshman cap tradition, Chancellor Frank Strong made a statement this morning expressing his view in the matter.
"I shall appreciate the opportunity afforded by the Kansan to say a word to the students of the University os-solicitable at this time," said Dr. Strong.
"The University of course must stand for the rights of the individuals in it and for law and order and is bound by the rules of the Board of Regents adopted in April, 1909, and still in force by the Board of Administration to oppose hazing which in any form is always a serious matter
"Having said this I wish to say further that I can see no good reason why freshmen students should not be willing of themselves to conform to traditions of the student body which are the natural outgrowth of student life in which of themselves involve no wrong. Indeed it seems to me that just as the student body as a whole owes allegiance to the rules of the governing bodies of the University and ought to conform to them in good spirit so ought the students in the same manner to conform to the informal rules of tradition which grow up in any sound student body. "I therefore express the hope that the students of the first year will do this in good feeling and thus accept the debt they owe to the student body as the abundant perceptible benefit shown that conformity to reasonable student tradition is good for individuals and freshmen caps will be to any one who takes student tradition in good spirit one of the mementoes which he will prize in after years I have similar mementes at my house now."
Announcements
The caps will appear on the Hill Tuesday morning, April 1 and not Monday morning as was the opinion of a number of the freshmen who appeared on the Hill this morning. "It is just as great an offense to wear them when you are not supposed to as it is to forget them," said a member of the Red Vigils this morning.

It was a thrilling match, with 45 of the fastest players on the field and intercented passes well.

Medics' Horror Chamber Interests Haskell Maid
What is the most interesting part of the University to a woman?
One University Y. W. C. A. woman received a few volts of surprise the other day when a Haskell maid indicated that the dissecting room of the School of Medicine was the part of the laboratory wanted to see.
"Will you show us the 'stiff room?'?" asked the Indian girl as the Y. W. woman and her Haskell class in Social Responsibility were discussing plans for the quarter.
The Y. W. woman apparently did not think much of the idea of introducing the class to dead ones, for she gave the class a list of live Western Kansas Girls to whom the Haaskell girls might correspond, to widen their circle of friends and for the broadening effect of carrying on a serious and interesting correspondence.

Plain Tales From the Hill
The earlier rising under the new time effect 'em differently. Some were sleepy and fussy. Prof. Bennett Allen walked up on the Hill a half hour ahead of time, carrying a tack hammer in his right hand, a parcel of sweepers swam under his left arm, and whistling La Faba, oh, so soufully.
No, it was not a class in care of the child, but a class in business law discussing the legal status of minors.
"Have you any further questions about infants?" asked Professor Ferguson.
Some of the Pi Phis recently took a little trip to the City and incidentally Nadine Blair went with them. She was delighted with the tall buildings and the crowded streets. Her friends took her into Emery-Bird's and they sat down at the soda fountain. This is the way Nadine ordered of the waiter: "Say, I don't get into the city very often. What do people usually order in here, and bring me that." Well, Nadine got it, and when she paid the bill it cost her thirty cents.
Rimes of the Future
I feel so dry,
I have a thirst,
But it's after,
July the first.
Her-Have you seen those new stockings with clocks in 'em?
Him—No. Can you tell time by them?
What a shame that they couldn't have put off turning up the clocks until today. Then we could have cut 'lass with a good excuse.

Johnson, Carins, Foval, Smith and Dobson of the Winfield team played wonderful basketball and their basket-skating was brilliant throughout the game. Woodrow, Meyer, Lawrence captain and center, and he team's offense and slipped five field goals and two free throws into the basket. Endacott, Lawrence guard, played wonderful basketball and it was principally his defensive work that kept down the Winfield score. Weede also played well, and Ackerman and Ulm showed class, although they were unable to hit the basket.
The entire tournament was run off close to schedule and "Red" Brown and "Dutch" Uhrlaub, who were chosen by Manager Hamilton as officials, did their work well. Everything went smoothly, even down to the final event of the big event, when Dutch Wedel, Chancellor Strong, Mayor Kreeck or Lawrence and Superintendent Kent of the city schools took part in the pre-season race.
