Basketeers Hit Stride And Clean Up Games In Missouri Invasion
NUMBER 85
Veteran Pikers Blanketed by Fast Guarding of Kansas Team
Goal Shooting is Accurate
Tigers Surprised by Defeat-Kansas Aggies Due for Hard Sledding
After playing a loose brand of basketball in every game this season until the Eastern trip, the Kanaas Jayhawkers have finally hit their proper stride and they demonstrated this fact when they took a two-game series from the Washington University Pikers at St. Louis Friday and Saturday, after beating the second game and the secondimbia Thursdays in game 36-29. The score in the first game against Washington was 35-31 and the second contest was a walkaway for the Jayhawkers, the score being 39-19.
The Kansas five won the series from the Pikers by superior teamplay and accurate goal shooting, and the defense formed by Lonborg and Mason, the Jayhawker guards, kept the Pikers within scoring distance of the goal. The game was throughout the four games and his work was largely responsible for the excellent showing of the Jauhwakers.
Johnny Bunn led the Kansas offense in the first Washington game with six goals from the field, some of which were spectacular shots. Bennett, playing the other forward position, counted four times from the field and Matthews and Mason each scored three times. Lon邦硬 bjoined in one goal field to the total. Dunker and McElwle at the forwards and Cautain Marquard, All-Valley center last year, played well for the Pikers.
In the last game at St. Louis, Bunn again led the attack and scored seven times from the field. The other men were hitting the basket in real form and Mathews added five field goals and five free throw to the score. The fact that the Washington team, composed of four veterans from last year's five, was only able to score five field goals proves that the Kansas guarding was excellent. Marquis Bunkley, Pike center, was one of the high score men in the Missouri Valley last year and he counted only three field goals in the first game against Kansas and two in the second.
Coach Hamilton was greatly pleased with the work of his team on the trip and believes that they have hit their true stride now and will keep going at that pace until the end of the season.
In the second Missouri game at Columbia, after Scott had scored first with a free throw, Mason counted from the field and the Jayhawkers held the lead for the remainder of the game. A report from Columbia says that Missouri basketball foliage looked good in that games and that the Jayhawkers displayed the best brand of basketball seen there this season.
AGGIES DUE FOR HARD SLENDING
If the Jayhawkers do not fall into another slump, the Kansas Aggies are due for hard shelding when they come to Lawrence Thursday and Friday of this week for a return series with Coach Hamilton's men. The Aggies are now leading the Missour'

Father Andrew Bienowske, his housekeeper, Ms. Stanislaw Lypchinski, and Father Edward Podleswski have been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of Sister Superior Mary Johns of Isadore Convent near Traverse City, Michigan. The nun disappeared in August, 1907 when Father Bienowske was priest at Isadore Church. His housekeeper, Mrs. Lypchinski, was reported to have been very jealous of Sister Superior Mary Johns. On search for the missing nun, bloodhounds trailed to the basement of the church, but the officers could find no trace of her. Father Podleswski succeeded to the police and said he had told a girl that he removed Sister Superior Mary John's body from the basement of the church to the cemetery. Jacob Flees of Isadore confessed that he helped Father Podleswski remove the remains.

Colonel Sloan Presents Plan For Artillery Unit Of R.O.T.C. at Kansas
Field Artillery Branch Would Include Ninety-four Horses and Sixty Men
Colonel Sloan, a representative of the War Department from Washington, was at the University Friday to lay before the authorities a plan for establishing an R. O. T. C. unit of field artillery at the University.
Members of the R. O. T. C. would not be required to drill and no uniforms would be furnished. Four years of college work would be a requirement. Enlistment in the R. O. T. C. would be permanent, every man being required to finish the four years of college work.
The R. O, T. C. probably would not be in active operation until next fall, if the plan is accepted, but arrangements would be made this spring. The Senate has not been up before the Senate for discussion and nothing has been decided.
If this plan for the artillery branch of the R. O. T. C is decided upon the S. A. T. C. buildings will probably be used as stables and barracks. If this unit could be established at the beginning of the next quarter and year, he would be gained over the schools that wait until next fall to establish the unit.
The field artillery unit would call for one battery, with ninety-four horses and sixty enlisted men to be in charge of them. The University would furnish quarters for the men, and stables for the horses.
French Loss Irreparable,
M. Andre Fribourg Says
Youth of France, Especially Students, Suffered Most in War. Speaker Reports
"Reparation is impossible, for France has suffered an irreparable loss in the war," said M. Andre Fribourg, lecturing for the Alliance Française in Green Hall, Friday afternoon. "The youth of France is almost wiped out. It can not be restored by any repentant enemy." It is the youth of France, particularly the young French, who gave most of their country, according to Monsieur Fribourg. The students in Paris left their work to enlist at the first call of war and nearly two millions of them were killed.
Monsieur Fribourg gave as an example of the men whose work was interrupted by the war, Prof. Pierre Maurice Masson, who was preparing his thesis for the doctor's degree. He promptly organized a company of students with the same care and in intelligence of the other his work. He fell in battle early in the war, and after his death the theses he had written was read before the Sorbone, and the degree with honorable mention was conferred upon him.
The committee appointed by George Strong to confer with a faculty committee on a new plan of government of student affairs, can not act until after the next Senate meeting. Chancellor Frank Strong said he did not have the power to appoint a committee that could take such action, and matters would have to be held up until the Senate could meet, when a petition will have to be presented to them, asking that they appoint such a committee, or give such power to the Chancellor.
The cheerfulness with which the youths of France gave themselves to the cause was emphasized by Morlèbourg. "They died smiling," he said.
The next Senate will not meet until next week, so no further action can be taken.

Large French Carnival Will Be Given March 1 In Robinson Gym
K, U, Plans to Swallow Confett and Lemonade in French Orphans Benefit
All K.U. is going to dance, eat, swallow, confetti and lemonade at the first annual Mardi Gras, given by the Cercle Francais for the benefit of French orphans, at the gymnasium, March 1, at 7 o'clock. An event, unique in the history of the University, will be this carnival, after the time-honored style of the French.
The whole room will be converted into a motley scene of bright colors, costumed people from every country in the world, and exhibits that will equal the Chicago Word's Fair, to say nothing of side shows, a Palace of Wonders, and a real Punch and Judy Show.
The center of the room will be roped off, and at ten o'clock, the dancing will begin. Dances will be sold at five cents each. There will be a group of Italian sisters perform tume, and some patriotic feature songs.
Omicron Nu will appeal to the palate with all sorts of delicious confections, and French pastries. The Spanish club will have a fortune telling booth, where one can learn his future in the crystal, or see what happens in other exhibits and attractions, as practically all organizations will be represented.
Every organization is assisting in the big event, and each will out rival the other in the elaborativeness of their booths. The W.S.G.A. is working on a war exhibit that will be worth the price of admission. There will be an oriental booth with real embroideries and a Club, with real embroideryes and costumes from India.
All students are urged to come in costume, if possible and masked if they like. Dates are not necessary.
Date of Sophomore Hop
Is Changed to May 9
Students Demand that Hop be Postponed Because of Senate Rule
The Sophomore Hop will not be given March 14, as was first announced, according to Bob Lynn, manager, but will be held May 9 instead. "The hop has been postponed because the students have demanded it," said Mr. Lynn. "The expression of the students at the indignation meeting last week showed that they did not want the Hop to be one of the $1.50 parties, and if it should be given on March 14 it would have to be. The students believe that if 'the party is untitled' later a date that perhaps some decision will be reached whereby the Hop will be counted as one of the bigger parties of the school year and that a better can be given."
All arrangements had been made for the Hop for March 14, and work had already begun on the farce for the party, but according to Mr. Lynn the affair was to be a student party and since they did not want it until later all these arrangements were made. "For the gymnasium are taken and May 9 is the only one that could be obtained for the Hop.
The sophomore class has the gymnasium for March 14, and according to the plans now there will be a sophomore dance that night instead of the Hop. Arrangements are being made now for the class dance.
K. U. is Among Leaders In Vocational Guidance
The University of Kansas is among the leaders of the colleges and universities of the nation in the matter of vocational guidance for its students, according to Prof. A. T. Wailer, in charge of that department, the National Association for Vocational Guidance in St. Louis last week.
Most of the time of the conference Wednesday was takup with discussion of the work among high school students where it is more common than in universities. Thursday and Friday were devoted to the problems of vocational education and training, similar to the training given Section B of the S, A, T, C here last fall.

Student Representation Is Granted at Meeting Called By Chancellor
Committee Wants Ten Student Members Added to Student Interest Committee
To Be Chosen From Councils
Monthly Meetings Will Be Held and Each Member Will Have Equal Vote
A plan for student representation on Student Interests Committee was adopted at a meeting of the officers of the Men's Student Council and the Woman's Student Government Association, the faculty advisers of the councils, and several members of the Student Interests Committee, called by Chancellor Frank Strong Saturday morning.
According to the plan adopted the committee will recommend to the Senate that ten student members be added to the present Student Interests Committee making a joint committee of twenty to deal with student affairs. The five officers of the W. S. G., A., the three officers of the Men's Student Council and two other members of the men's council to be elected at large will compose the student membership. Until spring election those members will be appointed or elected from the present members of the coun-
The motion adopted was;
Motion carried that a recommendation be made to the University Senate that a joint Committee on Student Affairs be created, consisting of the ten members of the Student Interests Committee, the five officers of the Woman's Student Government Association, the three officers of the Men's Student Council, and two other members of the Men's Student Council to be elected at large; until such an election can take place the two additional members from the Men's Student Council to be appointed from that organization; that the joint committee shall hold regular monthly meetings; and that all members shall have an equal vote.
The plan is the result of a movement started by both student councils several weeks ago. Petitions for student members on the Student Interests Committee had been handed to the Senate but owing to the great amount of business they had not been considered by the Senate. The meeting Saturday morning was called to hasten action on the proposition.
"The present plan seems to be what both the student body and the Senate want," Chancellor Strong said. "It is coming through two councils, the official governing bodies of the students. The large student and faculty membership will represent different phases of opinion better and the officers of the student councils, who are elected by the whole student body will be the most representative body of students to have on the committee."
An equal number of men and women on the committee and an equal number of students and faculty members are necessary, the committee believed, to obtain the best expression of student and faculty opinion.
Student and faculty members will have an equal vote, according to the plan, and questions affecting student interests will be referred to the joint committee, if the plan is adopted, as they are now referred to the faculty student interests committee. Petitions to the Senate from student organizations will be through the joint committee.
Faculty members present at the meeting were: Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, Miss Elise Neuschwander, Prof. U. G. Mitchell, Miss Elizabeth Sprague, Miss Nadine Nowlin, Prof. J. G. Brandt. Chancellor Strong acted as chairman. Herschel Washington, George DeVoe, Lucene Spencer, Katherine Fulkerson, Irene Tihen, Mrs. Bernice White Scott, and Mary Smith were the students present
