College Credits Asked For Work in Orchestra
"The University could not have a symphony orchestra in the strictest sense of the term," said Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts today. "But there is but one reason why we can not have an orchestra to play the primitive symphonies of Beethoven, Hayden and Mozart; that reason is the fact that credit is not given the members toward an A.B. degree.
"We have plenty of the string instruments but what we lack is some men to play the wind instruments which are virtually impossible for women to play. In practically all the colleges of the country college credit is given to members of orchestras. We have a splendid director in Professor Kendrie, and the prospects are bright if the faculty will decide that they give will give a small amount of credit. Unless credit is given for this work, men will not come to practice for they haven't time to waste. Credit is now given to members of the School of Fine Arts."
Mrs Firebaugh of St. John came to visit her daughter Lena Firebaugh, fa'sp, Tuesday.
Johnston Perfects Plan To Improve Relations
Between Students of Electrical Engineering and Their Instructors
A unique plan for bringing the students of electrical engineering into closer and more harmonious relations with their instructors, and a plan which will enable the head of the department to know the quality of school work being done, has just been worked out by Prof. F. Ellis Johnson.
"The idea is not," said Professor Johnson, "to duplicate the work of the regular adviser, but to tactfully promote confidence and good fellowship mind." To each instruction in the department the following letter is being sent;
"We take this means to acquaint you personally with the purpose of this department to call in each student in electrical engineering at intervals for a friendly conference. It is our desire that for these conferences we may be posted not only with the student's standing in his different courses at the time, but also with his instructor's estimate of him in a broader and more personal way. It is our hope not merely to spur the laggard, but to encourage the hard worker as well and, if possible, to tactfully promote confidence and good fellowship all round—both within this department and toward the individual instructors with whom the men work."
With this letter are sent blanks, each with the name of the student and the course, requesting: "Will you please give us on the back of this slip your estimate of his present standing, together with any statement that will help us make our interview with him more profitable."
Andre Fribourg Balks AtQuadrupleInterview
It is a lively life, being a celebrity with reporters on your trail, according to M. Andre Fribourg, who digressed from his lecture Friday to the 2014 lecture of certain St. Paul "journalsist," Translated, the story runs about like this:
In St. Paul, Monsieur Friborg was ushered into his hotel room, where he noticed two telephones on the table. But all unsuspecting, he proceeded to make himself at home. He put his hat down and was slipping an arm out of the sleeve of his coat, when telephone number one interrupted.
"Who can be calling me?" thought monsieur as he grasped the receiver. The St. Paul Silence wished to know, according to the man at the end of the line, what the eminent Frenchman thought of the city. As he had been in the city less than half an hour the question was somewhat difficult, but he was ready to do his best, when the second telephone rang. "It was a lady's voice," said Monsieur Fribourg. "The voice of a lady journalist, who wanted to know what I could say of the President Wilson. I stood with one sleeve on and one sleeve off, and talked about the city of St. Paul to one telephone, and about the President Wilson to the other. But suddenly some one opened the door of my room without knocking. It was another journalist, who wanted an interview. What should I do? It was useless to try to discuss three different subjects with three different reporters all at the same time. So, still with one sleeve on and one sleeve off, I hung up both recipients and walked boldly out of my room, past the hotel proprietor who was leading in a fourth journalist." The life of the celebrity, is—difficile.
School of Fine Arts To Be in Ad Building
"We are very crowded in our present location," said the dean. "We have more than two hundred students in eleven rooms which were originally meant for living rooms rather than class rooms. Then, too, our 'pupils have classes on the Hill about half the time and it keeps them running up and down the hill several times a day more than the average student, which is very disagreeable to say the least."
The School of Fine Artas intends to occupy the west wing of the new Administration Building by the opening of the summer session, according to information from Dean Butler this morning.

was published on Kansas. Day at
Sampingy, France, were received in
Lawrence yesterday.
Jayhawkerinfrance Arrives On Campus
The official interpreter is Corp. Earl L. Burns, with the Topека field hospital company. In apology for the paper, which remains no apology, he says to say:
The editor of the Kansas Day publication was Sergt. W. J. Studer, K. U. man with Company M. He was assisted by W. Y. Morgan, former lieutenant governor of Kansas, now a "Y" worker with the 35th division, and Sergt. Fred Henny, a well known newspaper man of Hutchinson. The printers who got out the paper are Corp. George F. Martin, of Wichita, and Prvt. Frank R. Elkstro.
"But it looks better than we thought it would. If the paper does not please you, reason with yourself a minute. It is not an easy task to set type in a print shop which has not been running for four years. We have damned ourselves and made around the cup and wished many times that we were back home."
The four-page, four-column publication is full of interesting news of the division, and particularly the 137th regiment, which contains Company M. One headline refers to a review of the Jayhawker regiment by General Bullard, in which he made the remark:
Don't forget the big musical comedy tonight and tomorrow night. A Day at Coney Island, Bowersock Theater.—Adv
A school founded by W. Y. Morgan and Col. Ira L. Reeves is mentioned for its good work in improving the
