Who Has Gobs' Subsistence Fund, Naval Unit Men Endeavor To Find
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 19. 1010
University Owes Student Sailor
$36 Each According to
Chairman Blazier
Funds Are Long Overdue
Warren Blazier, chairman of the Navy Welfare Committee, says that he has written George O. Foster, registrar of the University, regarding this but as yet has not received any information from him.
The men of the Navy here are endeavoring to find out why they do not receive the $36 subsistence money for the month of October which they signed over to the University with the assurance that they would receive it from the University after all expenses had been deducted.
October Subsistence Signed to University with Assurance School Would Refund
"The men of the Naval Unit signet two blank vouchers on December 21," said Mr. Blazier, "which were made out for the amount that each man had coming to him for subsistence for the time before the Navy moved in." Counted to $30 for all those who were inducted into the Navy, October 1."
"NO BLANKS." SAYS CHANCELLOR
"NO BLANKS," SAYS CHANCELOR
"I know nothing of the receipt
signed by the men of the navy for $36
due for subsistence payable to the
University," Chancellor Frank Strong
said, "however, the University is doing
its best to clear the matter of
members of the navy and S. A. T. C. army, and that will probably come up in the final settlement.
"The University contracted with the government to feed and give the men sleeping quarters; all other business was between the government and the men direct," continued the Chancellor. "In the case of the navy I wrote to Government Chief Engagements and to see what could be done about pay and clothing, but the University had no control of military affairs."

NO SENTLEMENT THROUGH OFFICE "The final settlements have not been made with either the army or the navy," said Karl Klooz, manager of the University business office, "but we are practically finished with the
Nebraska Proves the Missouri Basketball Team is Not Unbeatable
History Favors Hope Kansas May Defeat Tigers at Columbia
The Kansas basketball team will attempt to repeat the feat of the Nebraska Cornhuskens and beat the Missouri Tigers on their own floor tonight in the first of a series of two games. The Jayhawks have always played as well against Missouri in Columbia as in Iowa, and there are two games to the Tigers here, the local quintet divided a hard-fought series in Columbia.
Nebraska proved last Friday and Saturday that the Tigers were not unbeatable, when they won a pair of games, from the Valley favorites. Now the Kansas Aggies are on top in the Valley race and the Tigers are occupying third place, and the Jayhawkers are eager to send them even farther down the ladder. Kansas is now occupying seventh place in the Valley race and must at least break even on the Eastern trip to climb in the rating. The present standing shows that the Kansas Aggies are first, Nebraska is second, Missouri is third, Grinnell is fourth, Washington is fifth, Ames is sixth and Kansas is seventh. Drake is in last place.
Grunnell, the new member of the Missouri Valley Conference, has showed class in basketball by breaking even with the Cornhuskers, and the tenn game has an outside chance to win the championship. Kansas will not play Grunnell this year in the game against the Huskies, have eight games yet to be played in the Valley, including two with the Kansas Aggies and two with the Nebraska Huskers here, besides the four on the present road trip.

Architectural Year Book Halts Publication Plans
"It is an open question whether or not the Architectural Year Book will be published in May as planned," said Prof. Goldwin Goldin, Tuesday.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce does not seem willing to support it, and it does not seem probable that a sufficient amount of outside advertising can be obtained to finance the publication according to Professor Goldsmith. If he is booked to bring additional students to the University who would otherwise go to other schools of architecture.
Jean F. J. Kelly Makes College Inspection Trip
Dean F. J. Kelley of the educational department, has just returned from a tour of inspection of five Kansas colleges.

sour Owl Will Appear
On or About March 7
The board in charge of the editing and publishing of the Sour Owl is working hard and expects to have the publication out by March 7.
Because practically all the men of the University were in the S.A.T.C. last fall, the Owls did not undertake to edit the Sour Owl earlier in the term. An exceptionally good issue is expected for its first publication. The Sour Owl, is more in the form of a magazine than a news sheet, being similar in appearance to "Life." It contains twenty-four-page fulls of history and sarcasm, in the shape of poetry, and cartoons; the board of six members undertakes the management of the publication of the Sour Owl will hold a meeting next Wednesday. Anyone that has something that will be of particular interest to the magazine should see one of the Owls as soon as possible.
The Presbyterian University Sunday School will have a social evening of informal games and refreshments at Westminster Hall Friday evening. All members and their friends are invited.

Actions and policies of the University Senate have aroused student indignation with the result of its culmination today in a mass meeting and demonstrations of protest on the campus. Students are alive to the necessity of taking the initiative and starting movements themselves, not letting others do things for them.
LET THE FIGHT CONTINUE
Steadiness of action must be observed, however. Extreme action that would only arouse antagonism and not accomplish needed results must not be taken. What is necessary is a steady and visibly planned campaign for University control, instead of Senate control.
The fight must not cease with a few hasty demonstrations. It must be continued; it must be well thought out; it must embody fair plans.
As an outcome we can hope for greater unity and co-operation between the opposing factions of the University and a representative direction of affairs of the students.
K.U. Pan-Hellenic Organizations Object To Regulation By Senate
After a thorough discussion of the question which has been started by the University authorities concerning the regulation of fraternity and sorority parties and the auditing of their books, at the different meetings Monday night, every fraternity was asked to come forward, if fair were to be controlled by the Pan-Hellenic association and not by the University Senate.
The action was not taken because the students in the different organizations objected to being restricted in the amount of money their parties could cost, but they did object to the use of the new weapons when the Pan-Hellenic of both the men and women were organized for just such a purpose.
That there had been so few parties given by the women Greeks during the war times and that none of these had cost more than $1.50 was the sentiment of the sororites. The fraternities and sororites were the first organizations on the Hill to cut down on the number of parties and to linit the cost of the parties. This was done by the Pan-Hellenics, however, and was accepted by all the organizations.
"The Pan-Hellenics resent the action taken by some of the leaders in the senate," said one of the members of Pan-Hellenic this morning. "The Pan-Hellenic council has always regulated the affairs of the Greek or-
Kansas Woman Wins Position as Engineer In Government Work
Miss Mary Stanwaity Fills an Important Place at Washington
Washington
Miss Stanwaity is an assistant engineer of tests, and is connected with the bureau of standards. This line of work is a new department and is still in the experimental stage. Miss Stanwaity was sent by the government to the Carnegie Technical in Pittsburgh, for a special course to prepare her for her work with the department. She enjoys the title of engineer.
The salary in such a position is said to be much better than teachers receive and appointments are obtained through the civil service. As a preparation for this work Miss Starwalty taught the history, geography and metallography. While attending K.U. Miss Starwalty was a member of Sigma Kappa.
One of the first women to enter departmental service as an engineer, at Washington, is Miss Mary Stanway, a university of Kansas woman, who was graduated with the class of 1915, majoring in German.

organizations and we have never failed in executing this duty so far. To begin with we can't understand why the action if the Senate has been taken, especially the auditing of the fraternity budgets."
A meeting of the Women's Pan-Hellenic council was held yesterday afternoon at the Alpha Chi Omega house to arrive at a decision about the stand the council was to take on the question. All were unanimous in their opinion to oppose the Senate committee and audit of the books, because they thought it was a matter for the Pan-Hellenic council.
"I believe the students have the wrong impression of what the Senate is trying to do," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "The action is not being taken because we are disatisfied with the fraternity and sorority activity during the war times. We are far from that. The organizations have stood by the University in every conservation movement. We are doing what we think best for the University and all connected with it. The plan of having fraternity and organization books audited by a Senate committee was ordered by the state board of administration some time ago. We are trying to obey their orders because we are held responsible for every thing at the University."

THE FURNITURE ACTS UP
Did you ever notice what queer positions the chairs get into on Sunday night? Not that they look so bad on Sunday night, but in the cold, gray dawn of Monday morning, two wicker chairs, pushed together in such a chummy position that they look more like a davenport than two pieces of furniture, give a uncongruous impression to say the least.

LAWS BURST INTO SONG
When the last flame smoldered out, an announcement was made by a law student, from the steps of Green Hall, that, "The rest of the Senate will be burned this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock." The meeting referred to is a mass in Fraser Hall on Friday. Senate activities in governing student affairs.
As the effigy of the faculty organization was in flames, all the law students gathered out in front of Green Hall, and sang to the tune of "We'll Drink to Dear Old Kansas," the following words:
We are, we are, we are, we are,
we are, we live, we are, we are,
we are, the K. U. laws.
"We are, we are, we are, we are,
we are, the K. U. laws."
It's all because of him.
Our dear old Uncle Jim,
That we are the K. U. laws."
Then followed their school yell,
Jayhawk, Jayhawk, Jayhawk, we—
Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, L. L. B."
The demonstration against the Senate at Green Hall today was said to be expression of the feeling of students of the School of Law toward the faculty organization. Yellos of "Bol-shewiki," armbands and hatbands and black hats were present in evidence. A placard bearing the words "An Expression of Student Feeling." was hung out in front of the building.

Phi Delta Theta House Is Damaged By Fire; Defective Flue is Cause
Members Estimate Loss by Fire and Water at $4,000—Is Fully insured
Fire caused by a defective flue, started in the Phi Delta Theta house this morning at 11 o'clock.
Before the Lawrence Fire Department arrived and extinguished the flames, the roof was burned and a greater part of the third floor rooms. The greatest damage was done to the room of Merril Rutter and Robert Burns. According to information from Herbert Mee, it will probably cost $4,000 to remodel the house, as an entire new roof must be put on and all the walls plastered. Insurance will easily cover the loss.
Many students responded to the fire call, and all the furniture was moved.
Invitations were extended by the Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Alpha Delta, and Phi Beta Pi to the homeless Phi Delitas.
most of the furniture from the Phi Delta house is being stored in the assement of the Beta house.
"We intend to remodel the house at once," said Fred B. Jenkina, this morning.
