Half Units in Class Work to Count as Whole Credits
Military Excuses to Stand as Other Credits, Committee Has Decided
All one-half units in University courses are to be counted as whole units and all less than that credit are not to be counted, the Administrative Committee decided at a meeting Monday.
Military excuses, the committee decided, will be counted the same as other credits in determining a student's privileges and duties except that in the case where a student has received military excuse for a course which is a prerequisite for necessary subsequent work, the student must pass an exam well in the course. He may also on petition receive credit porated on the basis of the amount of time spent in the course previous to receiving the military excuse.

Permanent Income Bill
Gets Favorable Report
Committees of Both Houses Favor Measure After Hearing Women Delegates
The ways and means committees of both houses of the legislature made a favorable report to their respective houses Wednesday on the Permanent Income Amendment for Kansas higher educational institutions which was adopted by the people by an overwhelming majority at the last election in November. It is probable the measure will be passed by both houses.
The amendment empowers the legislature to establish a tax of seventy mills on the taxable property for a general maintenance fund and a tax of ten more mills for a building fund for the university state agricultural college, and the State Public schools, the School for Deaf and Dumb at Oathe and the School for the Blind at Kansas City.
Favorable consideration of the amendment was aided by efforts of women's organizations of the state. A committee of women appointed by the Kansas Council of Women has been demonstrating to the members of the legislature the worth of the new law. They have worked for many measures pertaining to buildings and facilities for women, new quarters for the home economics department, a new Fine Arts School, and a commons for the schools.
Many women from the University and Lawrence have been working on this committee of women. This week the committee has been in Topeka and has had a joint meeting with the ways and means committees. Dr. Alberta Corbin, adviser of women at the University of Kansas, and Miss Elizabeth Meguiar of the department of home economics were the two women from the University who made two brief meetings with the two committees representing the University on the committee were Miss Sarah Laird, Mrs. Caroline Spangler, Miss Elsie Neuen Swander and Dr. Alice Goetz.
The arguments brought forth by the women's committee were that the seventy-seven hundreths mill tax for general maintenance would allow the state schools to retain specialists in every department and to bring in new material, and would put the institutions on a business basis which would give them a chance for a definite program in the future. The additional one tenth mill tax would enable the state to keep Kansas students in Kansas schools by providing adequate building facilities.
First Plays of Series Please K. U. Audience
"Feed the Brute" and "The Neighbors" Are Enthusiastically Received
The second number of the series was staged last evening before a full theater. The audience evidenced their appreciation by the applause given the actors, George Strong, the brute in "Feed the Brute," and David Shefrey as Peter, the bashful country lad in "The Neighbors" were especially good, was the decision of the audience.
"It was a rare treat," said Willard Wattles after seeing the performance of the "Feed the Brute" and "The Neighbors" at the popular play series Wednesday evening. "They were both fine little plays, and especially The Neighbors"—that was a true American play and a mighty good me."
The actors, with the exception of two, were all members of the Dramatic Club. This series consists of several such evenings of plays, put on by members of the club. The third number of the series will be put on in April.
Professor Whitchcob said at the conclusion of the evening, "I certainly enjoyed the plays. They were very good, indeed, for amateur work and showed a great deal of careful preparation."

Friend "Bumpstead-Leigh"
To Return Monday, Mar. 17
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh" will favor the citizens of Lawrence again Monday night, with her delightful presence.
The play will be put on, this time for the benefit of the American Relief Fund and all the proceeds above the actual cost of production will go to that end.
"The play is being given at a really great sacrifice to the cast since it is the week of examinations and practice for the play is of course necessary even though it was given by the director," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray director of the play. "However we are all glad to do it for a cause so worth while."
All advertising for the play is being done by the business men of the city free of charge and it is at their request that the play is being renamed.

Mayor Has Called Election to Vote Bonds for Liberty Memorial Building
"A new high school is a necessity if the city of Lawrence keeps in close touch with the University and its own present standards in regard to progress and advancement," said Mayor George L. Kreeck today. "Many families move to the city each year in order to give their children better educational advancement and many of these children take their preparatory work in the Lawrence High School and a better and more modern school would attract many more fine families to Lawrence.
University is Incentive to New H. S., Said Kreeck
"I have issued the Mayor's proclamation calling for an election to vote bonds for the work. The proclamation calls for the voting of $230,000 in bonds to be used in building and equiping the new school which will be a memorial to the soldiers and sailors of the present war, and will be Fifteenth Streets and Massachusetts and New Hampshire Streets. The building will be known as the Liberty Memorial High School."
"A high school in a University town can be made superior to high schools in towns and cities where the University atmosphere is totally hacked," said Mr. Kreeck. "The students have more of an active incentive to work when they have ever before them the example set by a higher women institution as it is unusually well supplied with schools, having the State University and also Haskell Institute, the largest Indian School in the world."
W. O. Hamilton's S.A.T.C. canteen is being moved from its position near the side walk to a position on the rear of the lot. In its new location it will serve as a garage.
