$200,000 Appropriation For Rosedale Hospital Has Not Been Killed
Doctor Crumbine Denies Report That Senate and House Committees are Unfavorable
"The appropriation of $200,000 for Rosedale Hospital has not been eliminated," said Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Dean of the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas. "The report that the bill had been killed by the senate committee on Ways and Means is false as that body has not yet passed on the bill."
Action on the appropriation will probably be taken by both the Senate and the House Ways and Means Committees. The House Committee will meet Thursday night to consider the bill.
The removal of the school to a 7-acre tract in Kansas City, which has been suggested, is not looked on with favor here because the present buildings would have to be duplicated in the new location. Chancellor Strong said in expressing his opposition to the proposed change, "The School of Medicine is well located at Rosedale. It is one of the best clinical centers of the middle west. I can see no really good reason to remove it, and I can see some harm it might occasion. However, it is a matter for the State Board of Administration and the Legislature to decide, but I cannot believe that the plan will be met with much sympathy in these quarters."

Captain Roberts Returns
To K. U. from Service
Has Been in Charge of Ship ping All Engineers' Supplies to France
Capt. H. A. Roberts, who has been the officer in charge of shipping all engineer supplies to France from the port of New York, returned to the University Monday to resume his work as assistant professor of civil engineering.
Under the direction of Captain Roberts hundreds of tons of steel rails, locomotives, roofing paper, slaves, and other engineering equipment have been sent over. In September, 1917 when Captain Roberts took charge, 3,000 tons of supplies were being shipped monthly. In June, 1918, shortly before he left for overseas, 80,000 tons were shipped across.
"In the past the United States has had but little acquaintance with her neighbors in Europe, or, in fact, with nations on this continent, Mexico for example. The men of the American Expeditionary Forces have had an advantage over their opponents in my opinion they will be somewhat unwilling for the United States to be bound too closely with the European governments."
"In my opinion we should carefully consider the proposed plan before adopting it as it now stands. It seems that if we want to keep the United States altogether too much.
Captain Roberts has been in France for several months, during which time he visited practically all sections back of the lines. In speaking of the League of Nations, Tuesday, he said:
Washington Inspector Will Investigate Milk Situation in Lawrence
Plan for Pasteurizing Milk Advocated by Doctor He Wide
Ida Hyde
R. S. Smith, milk inspector from the Bureau of Agriculture in Washington, D. C., is in Lawrence for the study of studying the milk situation here.
"The milk situation in Lawrence has been almost as bad as the water situation," said Dr. Ida H. Hyde this morning. "An ordinance has been passed by the mayor and committee with the advice of the State Board of Health, which if carried out, will be all that is necessary. At present, the condition is very difficult; some of it has a large per centage of bacterin, some has not enough butter fat."
Dr. Hyde allocates a plan for the pasteurization of the milk, heating it at 145 degrees Fahrenheit for thirty minutes, to kill the bacteria. Each of the milk companies should establish a pasteurization plant or if the expense of this plan is too high, they should label it at which the different companies should take their milk for pasteurization, according to her plan.

All Students Seeking School Positions Should Appear at 121 Fraser
"Seniors who intend to teach should enroll at the appointment bureau, 121 Fraser Hall this week," said Prof. W. H. Johnson today. "I would be to the interest of all prospective teachers to have their credentials in file in the appointment office not later than March 1."
After enrollments are made at the appointment bureau the names of the prospective teachers are sent to their major department, minor department, School of Education, and the supervisors of teaching who give the applicant's ratings, according to the following heads: Native ability, knowledge of the subject, ability to express thoughts, efficiency in classroom teaching, faithfulness in performing duties, co-operation, physical vigor, personal appearance, qualities of leadership. These ratings are made by the departments in departmental meeting and these rating cards are shown to school boards and superintendents.
"All the students intending to teach should be enrolled by March 1, so that the blanks can be sent to the various departments at the same time." Professor Johnson said. "Up to the present time there have been eighty-three enrollments, but we expect 125 at least."
There have been quite a good many calls at the appointment bureau for teachers for next year. These calls are coming in earlier years. School boards seem to be eager to get in touch with teachers.
Snappy Snaps Of K.U. Just As It Really Is Will Win Jayhawker
Contest Will Close Tuesday and Promises Good Material, Says Hopfer
The Jayhawker Snapshot Context will close next Tuesday, when Otto Hopfer, manager of the Jayhawker snapshot section, will give a Jayhawker free to the person sending in the best picture or group of pictures of student life on the campus.
"The snapshot section will be the real, old 'humanistic series' of the annual, to use a high-brow phrase of an ultra-aesthetic and super-progressive squad of the College faculty." This from Marvin Harms, editor of the Jahyawkier, who said that O. Hopfer said it.
"The stiffness of the posed photograph, the self-consciousness of the borrowed evening clothes - for some fellows still insist in being 'tuk' in the soup and fish - all will be absent from the snapshot section," averre! Harmes "O. Hopfer slipped that info to me too. I am sure it is true artistry, but I will only visit the refreshing $^9$ naivete, the artclass artistry of the Jayhawk in his natural habit and habitat, romping as in his wont or want.
O. Hopfer assures me he is activated by a most laudable ambition. He wants to show K. U. a la natural, not with its pie a le mode manners on, but in its free and easy, working clothes, the K. U. we best know and love. Come across and help him, men and women, by sending in your snapshots. More real Jayhawkers will enjoy a good picture in the annual that is possible with the picture being reproduced anywhere else.
"The senior section is being made up now and all glosSES will be sent to the engravers Saturday. All seniors who have not turned in their glosSES should do so at once. The work on the annual cannot go on until they are ready to arrive and it is important to have them in sections finished at once.
"The freshman section has been arranged, and all freshmen who wish their pictures in the section should sign up at the Jayhawker office at once and also arrange for sitings If this section goes in at all, it must be rushed through at once. This year's Jayhawker probably will be the most complete of college annuals for every class will have a section. S. A. T. C. will have a large section, and the year's history of the University will be complete, with many pictures."
Woman's Panhellenic will exchange dinner guests Thursday evening.

Edmund Cooke's Talks

The lecture will be open to the public, in the Chapel of Fraser Hall at 4 o'clock Thursday.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Selden Butcher, P20, was on his way to a law quiz when a black cat crossed his path recently. Butchen walked two blocks out of the way to avoid the cagt. When asked if he was wrong, Butcher said he had passed that quizz and believe me I will go around a block to avoid a black cat every time now."
All accounts asked for by the re-istrar last year were lost in the Pi Upsilon fire. The Phi Delta Theta fire came a little early this year but it is understood that several budgets and accounts were burned.
The sociology class was talking on communication when the professor asked, "How long can two men sit on a bench without starting a conversation?"
"Not very long," the student replied.
"How long can two women sit to together without talking?"
"It can't be done at all," was the second reply.
"How long can a strange man and woman sit together, without talkin-
"That all depends on the woman. answered the man who knew.
Herb Little, recently returned from Camp Zachary Taylor, thought there had been a great increase in colored students in the University until it was explained that "Col" in the student directory means College.
"Miss Jacobs, would you prefer to explain Croley's reasons for the failure of the initiative and referendum in Oregon as a means of majority rule, or have me read it?" inquired Professor Hellegen after looking over the interviews of his public opinion class Monday afternoon.
"O-ooh, read it!" replied Miss Jacobs who is fond of reading.
Although punning is the lowest form of wit, many professors appear to indulge frequently. One professor was looking over the paper of a student by the name of Short. "Well," remarked the instructor, "his name certainly agrees with his work."

Men From University Want Representatives Elected By Students
Public Opinion Demands That Student Interest Committee Have Final Power
Interest Is Not Political
Many Students Think That in Present Form Committee Will Be Figurehead
The following are statements from members of the Student Council and from various interested students of the University:
The proposed system of the Student Interest Committee which will be composed of ten members from the Senate, five from the Student Council, and five from the W. S. G. A., has been the subject of much discussion. A large number of the students believe that the proposed system will not remedy matters, and that at least part of them should participate, should be elective from the student body at large. It is also the opinion of the students that this committee should have final power, and not act as an advisory body alone.
"I am in favor of nothing which will not give the proposed Student Senate Committee final authority. In taking this stand I think I am asking for no more than justice." Gail Williams, council representative from the College
"Unless final authority is given to a committee composed of students and faculty, the committee will be a mere figurehead as it is now from the first year of Tracy Conklin. Student Council representative from the School of Medicine.
"I am behind any plan which will give the students equal voice with the Senate in making final decisions regarding student affairs." Homer Eagles, Student Council representative from the School of Engineering.
"I think that the student members of this committee should not be wholly chosen from the Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association. Some of the members should be chosen at large from the University." John Kinkle, president of the Sophomore Class.
"I have been quoted as having said that student activities cannot be regulated with the absence of graft and that in advocating higher priced parties, the element of graft has been the controlling factor. On the contrary, students should own affairs with only such faculty supervision as is necessary to the discipline of the school, absolutely and unequivocally, without any thoughts
