Eligibility Committee Calls Students Attention To Rules For Election
Joint Committee on Point System Will Rate Student Activities
In anticipation of the student body elections, which are to be held early next quarter, the University Eligibility Committee, of which Prof. H., C Thurnau is chairman, today issued a statement calling attention to the eligibility rules. These rules, as they apply to students participating in activities other than athletics, are the same as those of the Missouri Valley Conference, insofar as they apply to scholarship requirements. Among the rules are:
“(A) No student shall participate in any activity unless he is a hona fide student doing full work in a regular or a special course as defined in the curriculum of his school or college.
" (B) No student shall participate in organizations other than athletics unless he has passed all work as regularly required in his college for a year previous to participation, and unless he is satisfactorily carrying full work in the current semester.
"（C）The election of managers and leaders of all organizations shall be subject to the approval of the committee in control of organizations other than athletics.
(D) All organizations must submit the names of the participants to the committee for its approval before they are contemplating taking any part in public activities."
Interest in the spring elections is growing and the committee thought best to have the rules before the students in order that there will be no misunderstanding about the application of the rules in case of an ineligible candidate.
The Joint committee on the Point System will have a list of all organizations rated according to their value in student activities. This committee was formed of representatives from the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council, and will have supervision of system. It is the purpose of this committee to establish a limit to the number of activities a student may enter. The list will be made public soon.

To be Appointed Soon
Students Interested in Any Branch of R.O.T.C. May Consult Dean Walker
Any students in the college or other schools who are interested are requested to consult with Dean Walker, at the School of Engineering.
Many students in the School of Engineering have already shown their interest in the proposed system of military training to Dean Walker. Possible branches of the R.O.T.C. here are Ordinance, Motor Transport, Coast Artillery, Signal Corps, and Field Artillery, but no action has been taken on the subject by the university authorities.
After the first week of next quarter, one or more officers will be designated by the War Department here in the establishment of the R.O.T.C. according to Dean Perley F. Walker of the School of Engineering.

Hospital at Rosedale Will Remain There For K.U. Medical Students
egislature Makes $200,000 Appropriation for New Hospital Next Year
The Kansas Medical School and Hospital is to remain at Rosedale and $200,000 will be spent on a new hospital building sometime next year.
An agreement on the Medical School appropriation was worked out Monday by the members of the house and senate conference on general educational institutions budget. The senate has been opposed to the building at Rosedale but the house has been insisting that the hospital be built. The new hospital has been located at Rosedale but the conference provides that if a commission composed of the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house and the business manager can find a site in Rosedale that may be more suitable than the present one and without the added cost to the state the new building may be moved on the new property.
If the committee does not find any site superior to the present one it will consider it satisfactory and proceed with the improvement.

Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh Pleases Second Audience
Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh was given at the Bowersock Theater Monday night for the second time, for the benefit of the Armenian Relief Fund. About $600 was cleared for the cause. The cast played to practically a full house. J. R. Holmes said the house was better filled than the average showhouse for road shows that come here.
"I was very, very much satisfied with the way the cast did last night," said Arthur MacMurray, who coached the play. "Of course I did not think that it was any better this time than it was before, but I heard several who had seen it before, say that they thought it an improvement over the first production. And the cast feels the audience was the most appreciative, and gave the cast applause a great many times during the acting."
"The cast felt a little dubious as to the size audience they would have," said one of the members of the cast. "but owing to the effort of J. R. Holmes the house was well filled."
Foster Resigns Place On Auditing Committee
Position Will Be Filled Early Next Quarter According to Chancellor Strong
Registrar George O. Foster has handed in his resignation as chairman of the auditing committee. It will take effect immediately, Chancellor Strong said this morning, and the position will not be filled until the beginning of the new term, when the Senate will meet. The auditing committee is composed of Senate members.
"Mr. Fester resigned because he doesn't want to attempt to do the work any more," the Chancellor said. "His resignation came entirely of his own volition. He was not asked to resign and the faculty did not want him to."
"The position is one that takes a great deal of time, now that University organizations have increased. It takes too much time from Mr. Foster's work as registrar, he says. Nothing definite will be done until the beginning of the term. I cannot say whether a faculty member will be appointed as head of the committee, whether a paid assistant will be hired, and whether some arrangement will be made with the business office. There is hardly enough work to warrant employing one man to audit student accounts."
Plans for auditing student accounts, for publicity for proceedings of the Senate and the reason for them, and for convocations are being worked out by Chancellor Strong and will be presented to the Senate at a meeting early in the third quarter.
"Publicity for the Senate and the reason for its recommendations is need at present," the Chancellor said, "and some plan will be presented to the Senate next week. An effort will be made to settle all these plans then so that the work of the term can go on without interruption."
Horrible Hobble Halts
Her Hurried Haste
In spite of long and lively conversations on the subject of the 1919 skirt, one phase of the matter has never been given sufficient attention. No one has ever discussed the moral effect of the new spring skirt a la hobble.
The supreme danger to life and limb incurred by every woman who wears one has been argued about exhaustively. From the point of view of art, many earnest souls have urged that it is the zero of grace, while the economists joyfully retort that it saves woo anyway.
But no one has seemed to realize that the moral effect of wearing a 1910 skirt is absolutely tremendous. Paradoxical as the remark may sound, the hobble skirt is the greatest step in advance made since the armistice ended the ethical stimulus of the war. And this is the way it works its fine reform.
The University woman dons her new suit, and goes forth to ascend to class. But a few steps assure her that she must proceed slowly and with care. It takes her twenty minutes to climb the Hill, where it once took only ten. She begins to reflect on nature and philosophy and things she hadn't bad time to think of before. The whistle blows, and automatically she starts forward at a swifter pace. But that straining sensation across the ankle halts her, and she proceeds more slowly, calmie and restrained by the little hobble skirt which will allow no flurried, reckless haste.
The same thing happens again and again, and by the time she has worn the garment a week, the whole character of the lady's disposition has changed. She is inclined to reflection. She thinks before she acts. She seems to belong to the good old days approved of by staid grandparents. The self-assurance of the University woman is gone, for she has met with discipline at last. She has found her master in the little hobble skirt.
The department of zoology will offer new courses next quarter in Ornithology, Embryology, Animal Behavior, and Zoological Problems.
"The course given in American Government during the next quarter completes and continues the work given this last twelve weeks," said Prof. F. H. Hodder this morning. Students who took American Government the first quarter may complete the course by taking it next quarter.
Students' Book Exchange Will Open Tuesday, Mar. 21
The Students' book exchange will be opened Tuesday, March 25, from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock. All students wishing to leave their books to be sold may put their name and the price in them and leave them in Professor W. H. Johnson's office. Ten per cent of the sales goes to the W. S. G. A.
"If the students will bring their books to the exchange as soon as possible, there will be a better chance to sell them," said Rilla Hammati, who is in charge of the exchange. "The books which are in most demand are French grammars, Economics I, The Human Body, and chemistry books."
Other hours during which the book exchange will be open will be announced later.
Plain Tales From the Hill

The soldiers and sailors who return for the third quarter will either be 'disappointed or several University men will find a few failures to fill dates when the time for the big parties arrive. "The women are all dated up. It is merely a question as to whether the returning men or the students who have the dates now will be the goat,' said May B. Good.
You have noticed the red eyes this week? The students claim they are working over time and that their work is proving detrimental to their sight. "If the students had studied during the quarter they would not have to burn the midnight oil this 'week,' said Professor I. Markem down today.
The Sour Owl will be a magazine to instruct according to the board and will come out enrollment day. "We ought to wait a few days and not make the new morn sore on K.U. the first day they are here by letting them read of conditions at K.U. on enrollment day," said an Owl.
in the society column today is the happy information that one, Robert J. Rowlands, Esq., and book shark, is the father of a second son, born Monday. Now this bit of felicity, reflected from current social history and vital statistics is not repeated here for the invidious purpose of taking a shingle off the estimable roof of Mr. Brick, or yet to detract one jot or title from the crumental accretions of the good Lee, e'en is its purpose of the slightest shadow of an intention of cutting into the classic profits that accrue to the cigar case at the University Club. Gadzooks, no-oh! In times like these it is better fitting not so much to reflect the vital statistics as to say that the jubilant Mr. Rowlands has or did have in a desk in his office a box or very good cigars, and a very pretty witual.

Topeka, March 18:—(Special to the Daily Kansan.)—An appropriation on $2,034,230 for the University of Kansas was decided upon by the Senate and the House of Representatives this morning. The bill was passed by the House this morning and will undoubtedly be passed by the senate this afternoon. Both houses had agreed on the appropriations and went into conference over the bill this morning.
The amount of the appropriation is $75,000 more than the amount recommended by the state auditor due to the decision of the committees upon the Rosedale Hospital. Many of the supporters of the University were pleased over the action taken by the legislature and think that it was liberal in its appropriations.
$50,000 was voted to repairs and permanent improvements of the University for each year. The Rosedale appropriation was also included in the bill and called for $25,000 in 1920 and $175,000 in 1921.
The Merchants Short Course was made a certainty when $1,000 was set aside for this course for each year. Students build and equip a power plant in 1923.

Methodists Will Erect Fine Community House
A community house for University students is to be erected at Tenth and Vermont streets by the Lawrence Methodist Church, according to an announcement made following the purchase of lots with a frontage of 100 feet on Vermont, across Tenth street south of the Church. The land, which was bought by the local church, cost $4500. The $50,000 required for the construction of the building, is expected to be provided by the general funds of the conference.
State Epidermist Resigns
To Fill Montana Position
Dr. John J. Sippy, state epidermist, who was to give a series of lectures in "Vital Statistics" next quarter to the members of the sociology department, has resigned to fill a similar position in Montana.
The reason for his resignation may be laid to the failure of the state legislature to grant the increase in salary expected by Doctor Sipy. His new position at Helena, Montana, an increase in salary of $1,000 a year. Doctor Sipy organized the bureau of communicable diseases of the Kansas department eight years ago.
Doctor Crumbine has been asked to give the lecture in place of Doctor Sippy. In the past the sociology department and the board of health have traded lecturers and octrum Crumbine will probably give the lecture.
Hoyt Roush, c'20, will withdraw from school next quarter to take a position as cashier on the Ellison-White Chautauqua. His circuit will tour the Gulf states and the Pacific coast.
Mrs. S. A. Hangen of Wellington will come tonight to visit her sons, Luther and Herman Hangen, at the Acacia house, Thursday. Mrs. Hangen and Luther will go to St. Louis.
