College Training Class of National City Bank Asks for K.U. Students
Department of Economics will Nominate Several Men This Year According to Boynton
Now that the war is over, the National City Bank of New York, will resume its "College Training Class," according to word received this morning by Prof. Arthur J. Boynton, head of the department of economics.
"The arrangement as put out by the bank," said Professor Boynton, "gives any student of banking a great opportunity to get real practical work during his summer vacation. The student goes to New York in employ of the National City Bank in the summer after his junior year, then again the summer after he has graduated. He is kept at the National City Bank Club, and is paid $60 or $80 a month while there. The department of economics here, nominated three "students for the class two years ago, and will probably nominate a few this year also."
The letter received by Proteason Bayton explaining the proposition
"We are now formulating our plans for the College Training class in The National City Bank of New York, and take this opportunity to renew the most cordial relations which have existed between the University of Kansas and ourselves in a mutual effort to further a development of signal importance. The need for a laboratory course in business education is new universally recognized, and the opportunity which exists within the walls of an institution of this kind for the conduct of such a course is one of unquestionable value.
"In accordance with our past custom we are sending you the neces sary blanks to be used by students wishing to apply for this course. There is being sent to you also a booklet describing the plan of the College Training Class and a description of the work of the 1918 class in detail. You will note that all nominations should be in by April 1. There will be ample time for all necessary correspondence and interviews, however, as the training class does not open until July 1. We shall appreciate it if announcement of the course is made in the banking classes of the department of economics of the University of Kansas.
"E. E. Agger, formerly professor of economics in Columbia University and now assistant to the president of this bank, will advise with respect to the organization and course of training of the class. He will bear an active and responsible part in the supervision of its educational classes in his work, in the various departments. The courses of study and examinations will be subject to his approval. We believe that this will remove the principal hindrance to the granting of academic credit for the work.
"The Bank desires that the plan of the College Training Class be brought to the attention primarily of those students who are particularly interested in and fitted for banking work. We would suggest that any form of competition established for appointment to the class, would be a convenient and most satisfactory opportunity upon a promise. The opportunity is one of considerable promise and should very properly merit the attention of the best of the men whose interests are in the business world."

The disciplinary committee has, up to the present time placed restrictions on the dancing and social privileges of a total of seventy-two men students of the university. There is also a persistent rumor that forty more men are wafting sentence, besides the Owls, who are fighting their case before the disciplinary committee to keep from being placed on the restricted list.
These men are now doing time for being caught at dances during the week nights and dancing after the time set by the University Senate.

In contrast, Others expressed hope that with the new student interest committee and a change in some of the strict rules they might be pardoned without having to serve out all of their sentences.

At a luncheon last week at Topeka given in honor of the state organization of the Collegiate Alumnae, Miss Alice Winston, state president of the organization, gave a talk on the plans of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae.
Kansas, by the way, is the first state in the Union and, as far as is known, the only one in which the various branches of the association have been united in a state organization, so that Miss Winston has the distinction of being possibly the only state president of collegiate alumnae in the University of Chicago, from which she holds the degrees of A.B. and A.M., and is a member of the University of Kansas faculty.
In defining the purpose of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, Miss Winston said that it was to foster among its members a spirit of mutual helpfulness. As to the more specific plans and purposes of the Kansas organization, she stated that these could be placed under four general heads.
"The first practical purpose is to found more chapters of the organization. There are at present four in the state, but there are fields for others. The second purpose is to promote the work of vocational guidance among any who may need such assistance. This is and always has been the most important work of the national association," she said.
To improve the living conditions of college women and of working women generally, she mentioned as the third important work of the organization; and as the fourth, the elevating of the tastes of the communities in which the organization exists, by benigning to their entertainment of a high and flirt.ort.

March 24-29 Set Aside
As Kansas Clean-up Weeks
In order to bring about a more concerted effort in the state of Kansas for fire prevention, the improvement of sanitary conditions and the prevention of disease, Governor Allen has designated as clean-up week, the week from March 24 to 29. Every resident of Kansas is urged to reserve his time to cleaning up streets, alleys, back yards, basements and attics of all buildings and to remove every possible cause of fire or disease.
It has been estimated that in the average year fire destroys over three million dollars' worth of Kansas property according to the governor's proclamation. Last year the fire loss passed the four million mark on account of the war and extremely abnormal conditions. The same conditions that breed fire will breed disease, according to the clean-up week proclamation of the Governor. Clean streets and alleys tend to conserve the public health and the man power of the country. Clean homes and yards create a civic and national pride and contribute to the welfare of all concerned, according to the health officers.
Plain Tales From the Hill

It is alleged that James Knoles took pneumonia because of his frequent trips to Fraser Hall last week during the inclement weather to see the disciplinary committee.
Professor Furguson related to his Economics I class recently his experience in agriculture—a month on a farm. "I don't like this agricultural work, you know," he said. "Like raking tomatoes, and all that, you know."
Did it ever occur to you that men tried to imitate woman's ornaments. When Governor Allen came on the platform, Thursday, one freshman woman, observing the white vest edging which the governor wore, exclaimed, "Look at the pearls Mr. Alfen is wearing."
A ban should be placed on inventors according to Ray Hemphill. A professor on the Hill would have the telephone so devised that the small man with the deep voice would be the party at the other end of the line.
A soldier recently discharged from the service says, "One of the things that hurts us fellows who are coming in here worst is the date problem. We find all of the women we knew before we left school dated up for the rest of the big parties of the year."
The members of the Knights of the Golden "K" are planning to send out questionaires to the men of the Hill so no one thinks he has the stuff to be placed in the select circle will be left out. The questionaries will be several of the interviews on the faculty according to recent plans.
One of the members of the W.S.G.A. will never raid another Wednesday night dance she says. When the raid was made the woman found her "regular" there and he is now on the restricted list. The W.S.G.A. member confronted with picture shows on the week end with her sorority sisters.
