Education For Health Huge World Problem Says Dean Crumbine
Secretary State Board of Health Speaks Before Chamber of Commerce
Flu Hit Farm Boys Hard
Public Cannot Fight Public Evils By Closing Eyes, Doctor Crumbine Says
"Health is the secret of national efficiency and recuperation," concluded Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine and secretary of the state board of health in an afternoon talk before the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night. "But let me add that we are making progress. It is my cancid opinion that Lawrence has by far the best water plant in Kansas and one of the finest in the west."
Doctor Crumbine said that hawrence had a wonderfully efficient milk ordinance, which was a model of its kind, and appealed to the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Lawrence to assist Mayor George L. Kreeck in enforcing the ordinance. He pointed out that milk contamination was one of the problems with milk processing last year twelve persons in Lawrence died of that disease, which is almost twice the average in the state.
HEALTH A WORLD PROBLEM Doctor Crumbine referred to and approved the assertion of Premier David Lloyd George of England at the peace conference that the two great overshadowing problems of the nations today are the labor and job problems. Both problems must be intelligently met and as yet Doctor Crumbine did not believe that either had been met successfully, although a great deal had been accomplished.
"It is a regrettable fact." Doctor Crumbine said, "that the allies faced defeat when the Flanders front was giving away to the Hun because of the fact that millions of the allies were defeated." It is a foregone conclusion that the allies would have lost had not the United States thrown its man power

Professors May Stop Lectures
The Kansas Senate is considering taking action against the professors and instructors in the state schools who go out into the state to deliver lectures and receive extra pay for it. The educational budget contains a provision prohibiting any employee of a state educational institution accepting extra fees from any individual or society before which he might appear. The Senate will make an effort to strike this provision form the bill.

The demand of the students that this committee have final power was not embodied in the act of the Senate. If the granting of this power is constitutional, the Kansan believes that no further check on this committee than the equal number of faculty members is necessary. If it is unconstitutional, the Senate should grant the committee the power of final action in specific cases.
At the present time the working plan of the new committee may be far from perfect. The Senate must prove itself liberal enough to back up the committee by giving it as nearly final power as is possible under the constitution.
By meeting: the general desire of the students of the University for student representation on the Student Interest Committee, the University Senate took a big step toward correcting many disagreements between the students and faculty. The daily Kansan believes the demands of the students justifiable and the action of the Senate praiseworthy.
A STEP FORWARD
There are other reforms that are receded and demanded by the students. The University Senate will no doubt give careful attention to these. And the attitude of the students in these matters must be the same as that maintained concerning student representation, a steady pressure for their own rights and a liberal mind willing to meet the other side half way.

Katherine Duffield, general secretary for the W.Y.C.A. of the University of Kansas, has accepted a position as traveling student secretary for the west central district. Her work will start June 1. This position was offered to Mike Duffield in January at that time she felt it was not to accent.
Miss Duffield Becomes
Traveling Secretar
The field in which Miss Duffield is to work includes Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah; her headquarters will be in Denver. Instead of being responsible for one campus, she will be responsible for a large number of campuses in these four states. She will probably visit mostly in schools which are unable to support a general curriculum; she will be able on her route and she will be able to visit this University next year. Miss Duffield has been here at the University since September, 1917. She has tried to accomplish two things on the campus: first, make the association a recognized unit in this University and make it justify its existence, and second, make the association an organization which was following to the utmost the principles or

Phi Delta Phi Reorganizes
With Five Old Members
Hank Shinn, President and Ber nard Jensen, Secretary, Were Officers Elected
The Green chapter of Phi Delta Phi, honorary fraternity, was reorganized last night. Four "members were present at the meeting and formal steps were taken for the reorganization and return to a pre-war basis of the fraternity, in addition to oldest legal fraternity at K, U., and formerly one of the most prominent.
The war hit this fraternity sharder, perhaps, than any other school organization. For some time there were no members in school, but with the press they had old men, the fraternity expects to be back on its former footing by next fall.
Officers elected at the meeting last night were: Hank Shinn, president; Bernard Jensen, secretary. Other members are Enos Hook, James Galle, and George Strong. Strong was affiliated from the Chicago University chapter of Phi Delta Phi.
Men Forbidden to Attend All University Parties
Students Violating Mid-Week Dance Rule Before Disciplinary Committee
Six men students in the University were reprimanded for attending mid-week dance in violation of a Senate ruling, and were prohibited from attended any dances for the academic year except those given in their own houses at a meeting of the discipline committee of the Senate Tuesday.
The students included in the reprimand were one senior, two juniors, one sophomore and two freshmen. The students violated the ruling in regard to attendance at mid-week dances thrown open to the public in determinately at fixed prices. All admitted that they had violated the rule.
A junior in the college charge with dishonest work in a one hour course in astronomy was called before the disciplinary committee. The sentence was suspended by the committee.
Four members representing the Owls, honorary junior organization, were called before the disciplinary committee to make statements in regard to the violation of the Senate ruling requiring auditing accounts of dances given by University organizations, not a university organization not a university organization in the same class as the School of Engineering or the Senior Class, and thus were not considered under this ruling. Action was delayed until later
"Differentness" to Mark Annual Journalism Frolic
In order to accommodate the many students who failed$^{1}$ to buy their tickets for the Journalism Jazz before the limited sale of one hundred tickets was exhausted, the manager, Fred Rigby, announced this morning that arrangements had been made whereby the seats for basketball spectators would be removed, and this would increase the capacity of the floor enough to accommodate more than the one hundred couple originally decided upon by the management as the floor limit. Accordingly tickets for fifty additional couple were placed on sale last night.
All Jazz tickets must be purchased before Thursday noon from the following students who are in charge of the ticket sale: Lewis Potentie, Mary Smith, Floyd Heckenhull, Herman Hangen, Dayton Young, Charles Slawson, Funny Leah, Lawson, Ray Hemphill, Leslie Nelson, Jeff Duff, Hunter Neville, Drama Bramwell, Luther Hangen, Ed Hollis, John Miller, "Jap" Glasser, Fred Jenkins, Walter Blaker, Warren Blazier, Phil Dodderdige, Allen Neely and Marvin Harms.

A. A. Long Visits Hays On City Manager Plan
A. A. Long, head of the Municipal Reference Bureau of the University, was called to Hays Monday to confer with the mayor and city officials conserving the adoption of a city manager plan of government. Mr. Long attended a luncheon and later a mass meeting of the citizens of Hays Tuesday and spoke at both meetings on the advisibility of adopting the plan.
Before 1917, no city in Kansas had the authority to adopt the city manager plan but in that year the legislature passed a special bill allowing the cities of Kansas the right to adopt new cities. Since the passage of the bill three cities have accepted the plan. They are, Wichita, Eldorado, and Augusta.
"In these towns the plan has been very successful," said Mr. Long, "and this department makes it a point to assist all Kansas towns, and to give advice and information in regard to the problems of city government."

Zoellner Quartet Plays From Old and New Masters
The Zoelner Quartet furnished music which innermostly pleased their attentive audience in Fraser Hall Tuesday night. The whole house was sold out in advance but the bad weather prevented many from com- poning. It will for artists to play to capacity houses on their eighth appearance.
The portram of quartet numbers included both old masters and modern composers. Probably the best liked of all the numbers was the Notturno movement from a work by J. Grandds-Buys, a modern Dutch composer.
The mellow tones of the muted strings resembled far off strains of an organ. In passages of the Dubusy works the violiists secured an effective glassy quality by playing close to the bridge. Of the delightful melow tones, Joseph Zoellner, Sr. said, "No, it is not the instrument alone; we have used other instruments with the same result. It has taken years of practice to perfect those tone qualities."
The Zoellner family is from Brussels, Belgium. For two years they have made their home in Los Angeles because of Miss Antoinette Zoellner's delicate health. Armand van der Waals played the quartet and his position as second violinist is being taken this season by Frederick Kuphal.
Lieut. E. B. Brown, c'17, arrived in New York Sunday, March 2, on the S. S. Amerikana. Mr. Brown is a first lieutenant in aviation. He has been in France since July, 1917. He helped build up the 3d aviation instruction center at Issodon and was an instructor there. Lieut. Brown has two German planes to his credit. Just two days before the armistice was signed Mr. Brown was taken prisoner when his machine came down behind the German lines. He was held in prison four weeks and since his release he has been waiting for transportation.

Student Goverment System Is Adopted By University Senate
Faculty Members, W.S.G.A. and Men's Student Council Officers to Comprise Committee
Commencement Three Days
Kansan's Request to Send a Reporter to Senate Meetings Is Denied
The petition, presented by the advisory boards of the Men's and Woman's Councils and the officers of the Men's Student Council and the Woman's Student Governing Association, that student interests should be placed in hands of a committee of the ten faculty members of the Student Interest Committee and five officers of the W. S. G. A., three officers of the student council and two other members of the coucil, was granted at the meeting of the University Senate on Tuesday.
Petitions upon four subjects were presented to the Senate and action taken upon them. Three petitions were presented upon the subject of student representation; one by the Men's Student Council, one by the mass meeting called in Fraser Hall, and the one that was adopted.
The Senate decided at the present time final power could not be placed in the hands of this committee, because that would be against the Constitution of the University. This petition was also considered to be drawn up in a more concrete and explicit form than the other petitions. Although many of the students wanted this committee to have final power it is considered that the action taken should bring about a better understanding between the Senate and the students. The Senate rules also allow that a report may be submitted by the minority in any committee.
The petition presented by the senior class, that a 3-day commencement be observed with Baccalaureate on Sunday, Class day and Alumni day on Monday and Commencement address Tuesday, was granted by the Senate.
Two petitions were presented for regular convocations, one by the Torch, senior honorary society, and one by Herman Hangen as president of the senior class. This petition was referred to the new committee on student affairs.
The petition presented by The Daily Kansan asking that a reporter be admitted to Senate meetings was turned down by the University Senate. The opinion was that the Senate was not entirely a legislative body and that reports of the action of the Senate could be obtained from members of the body. Arguments on debated subjects can be obtained by the reporters from members after the meeting, it was contended.
