Aggies Take Track Meet From Kansas By 46 to 38 Score
Kansas Wins Four Firsts and Manhattan Seven Firsts
Rodkey in Closest Race
Gallagher is Star, Scoring Four Firsts for the
The Jayhawker track team lost its first indoor meet of the season to the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan Monday night by a score of 46 1-3 to 38 2-3. Gallagher, Aggie spinner, was the individual star of the meet and his work in winning four firsts in the hurdles, dashes and shot put won the meet for the Manhattan team. Kansas took four firsts and seven seconds and the Aggies took seven firsts and four seconds.
The Jayhawkers cleaned up both places in the quarter mile when Merle Cliff sprang a surprise and finished ahead of Captain O'Leary and Neely, the Aggie speed demon. Neely was touted to win the event but the place. Devill lost the nail by a narrow margin to Watson of the Aggies.
The closest race was between Ralph Rodkey and Beckett of the Argies in the half mile, in which the Kansas runner led most of the way and refused to be passed at the tape. Harold Hartow took two seconds in the low and high hurdles, and Ogivec came out second to Captain Foreman of the Argies in the two-mile. Ralph Rodkey won second place in the high jump which was taken by B frost of the arggies with a leap of 5 feet 4 inches.
The Jayhawkers were given first in the relay because it was decided that Gallagher of the Aggies ran only two weeks, but two-tiered two Manhattan men for first

Lieurance's Melodies Of Indian Folk Songs Please K. U.Audience
A Second Concert Will be Giver At Haskell Thursday Night
"The American Indian has a song for every activity of his life," said Mr. Lieurance. "Music has a part in every religious, tribal and social ceremony; every phase of life finds expression in its death it be farewell, victory, or hunt."
Fraser Chapel was well filled Monday night to hear Thurlow Lieurance and company in a program of Indian music and songs, the third concert of the University concert course. A special feature of the program was an Indian Rhapsody played by Prof. Carl A. Preyer, pianist, of the School of Fine Arts.
Mr. Lieurance, who is a Kansas composer and ethnologist, analyzed the Indian melodies and traced their relation to the tribal customs of the Indians. With the exception of drums, rattles and whistles, the flute is practically the only instrument used by the Indians, according to Mr. Lieurance.
Miss Edna Wooley (Nah Mee)), soprano, a noted interpreter of Indian music, sang two groups both of which were well received. The first group included: "In Mirrored Waters," a canoe song with Sioux text; "Wounded Fawn," introducing a medicine pipe song from the Creeenne; "By Weeping Waters," characteristic from the Northwest; and "Netknets," a Sioux love song; and "The Owl's Bleak Cry," introducing the scale of the flute.
The second group contained three numbers; a Pawnee love song, a Pueblo lullaby; and a ceremonial dance and melody. "Hymn to the Sun God." This last song pleased her hearers greatly.
Mr. Lieurance at the piano and Miss Frances Morley at the flute accompanied each song. Miss Morley also played two flute solos, one from the Sioux and the other from the Tewa Pueblo.
The Liurance company will give a concert at Haskell Institute Thursday evening. A number of Haskell students attended the concert last night.

Volunteers Call Assembly for 4:30 o'Clock in Afternoon
Student Mass Meeting Will Discuss Senate Wednesday on McCook
Follows Cut in Dance Prices
Student Opinion Appar-
lieves Senate
Understand
A mass meeting of Universi-
dents has been called for Wednesday,
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock on McCook
Field to "discuss Senate rulings." The persons calling the meeting designate themselves as a "few students inter-
preter" and are required from their lievers that it is time for students to demand their rights."
The meeting probably follows the large amount of comment on the Hill in regard to Senate action in general. It is the prevalent opinion of many students that the Senate does not understand student affairs and hence not properly fitted for the alleged autocratic domination.
Much discussion of plans to reinstate student control is current. The object of the meeting probably is to further such discussion. It apparently involves a debate over scale, following the action of the Senate in limiting university parties.
Uncle Jimmy Green will be the big speaker at the freshman smoker, Thursday night. Boxing, wrestling, stunts and music will make cp the program. There will be plenty of smoke for everyone, and the matches will be furnished, according to Pete Gross, manager.

Plans for Co-operation in Employment Service
University May Join With Government in Establishing Teachers' Bureau
Co-operation between federal and University agencies is the plan of the present Appointment Committee of the University.
The employment service of the Department of labor has added a bureau for the appointment of teachers to its of appointment services and is aning to establish a bureau withcretary in every state. It is most obable that the secretary for Kans will be a man from the University faculty and the bureau will be established here.
This will take care of the government bureau and will make a valuable asset for the appointment work of the University in that the service teachers will file their names for appointments and more schools will send here for recommendations for teachers.

Debaters Working Well,
Says Coach Henry Shinn
Missouri Turns Down Dual Contest Offer of Kansas
Team
"The debate men are working up in fine shape," said Coach Henry Shinn this morning. "We are going to evelop a good squad for the Missouri debate. They have been working together several nights a week, and it looks as if K. U. will have a good winning squad."
A team of three men will be chosen late in February from the eight men now working on the question. The team will be held at Columbia, March 28.
The University of Missouri refused to accept the offer of a dual debate, with the opposing side of the question being dominated by the opposite team at Lawrence.

R. O. T.C. May Be Established Immediately, Senate Decides
Rickety Cars Lose Balance on K.U. Loop
--in the past two weeks three stree
cars have driven off the track on the
gap between the houses.
Now comes the record-breaker. One car went around the loop this morning and fell off the track. It was off about an hour the first time. Nothing daunted, it started around the second time only to have the misfortune to run off again. This time it was off for another hour.
Employees say that it is the fault of the tracks but disgruntled studies who are forced to descend and walk across the hill don't know just what to say.
Any way, work will begin on the tracks immediately, so that these "wrecks" may be avoided. Motormen will drive slower until the tracks are leveled, so that all danger is avoided.
Plain Tales From the Hill

A printer's composing tray in which type is set in lines - Professor Rice.
A man who doesn't know enough to go when the Ten o'clock bell rings. Any House mother.
A girl who is engaged to a man in France or who has just broken ene

The man who is so faithful to his home town girl that he can't even be polite to any girl in the University. Any K. U. girl.
Our idea of an aggravation is the girl who comes to class every morning talking about the egg she had for breakfast. It is all right to live high but, good gracious, Mabel, remember all of our fathers don't own oil wells.
WITH APOLOGIES TO KIPLING
WITH APOLLOIES TO KIPLING
It is a good thing that all our prayers are not answered! If they were several Phi Gians would soon be sold for pork. It is an awful thing to see the girl of your heart waiting 'Christion kisses on a heathen porker's smout!
Some of the University women surge that if the ball to be given in Kansas City for the homecoming soldiers is to be a real success, the Kansas City officials will have to import women from the University of Kansas City. In telling the Kansas City women may get a few letters from the 35th too.
HOLD YOUR HATS. LADIES
Why go to the park this summer to ride on the Scenic Railway or the Ride For Life or Dash for Death. Our own Lawrence street-car furnishes all the thrills to be found in any park. Yesterday, the rails spread and the car jumped off the track just like the cars do on the figure eight when they go around the curve. One girl on the car who received quite a jolt said that she had promised her mother to go in for only harmless and sane amusement said that she guessed she would have to quit riding the street care unless she wanted to break her promise.
Speaking of being hard up... Can you beat this? One K. U. girl now has about ten letters stacked up on her table. She writes one every night to ease her conscience, but she hasn't told them so they lie from one day so there they lie from one day to another with all the sweet messages going to waste.
We admit that it doesn't make any difference what you say on a fraternity call, but sometimes you can make a mistake. For instance:
He, (on leaving): I'm sorry that I didn't get to dance with you.
She, (anticipating the old "Enjoy
ed myself so much"): I'm so glad.
Botany Club to Meet
The Botany Club will meet at the home of Prof. W. C. Stevens, 1121 Louisiana, Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Initiation will be held for new members.
Make Provision for Such Units
As Are Practical
At Present
Limit for Prom Tickets is $4
Student Petitions Asking for Convocations Not Considered
The recommendation that a Reserve Officers' Training Corps be established at the University "as soon as practical," passed the Senate by a vote of 39 to 26 at a special meeting last Monday night. A previous motion to postpone the consideration until next fall was defeated by only one vote.
According to the plan discussed, the unit will be filled by voluntary election of students interested in technical work. It has not been decided yet which branch of the service will be established, but it is thought the corps should be one or signal corps. The minimum number in the corps will be one hundred.
The committee on military and physical training submitted a report to the Senate after the discontinuation of the S. A. T. C., which was voted down. At the meeting last night, Col. W. Walker gave the merits of S. A. T. C., and that now was the time to obtain the best officers for training the men.
Only juniors and seniors will be admitted to the unit, which will last two years. At the completion of the course they will be given a commission. It is the intention to excuse the men in the unit from the regular gym work, as their time will be used in studying military tactics.
At the close of the debate, the Senate passed the recommendation of the joint committee, of members of the student-interests and auditing committee, that the maximum price of Junior Prom tickets be fixed at $4.00 a couple, and that the maximum price of Senior Prom tickets be fixed at $4.00 a couple as at present. The student petitions asking for convocations were not discussed.
Debating on the R.O.T.C. question lasted until almost 11 o'clock. At that time the matter of the prices of dances was taken up. It required less ten minutes for the Senate to decide on the prices as explained above.
University Honor Roll For Men Giving Lives To be Complete Record
Photographs of Each Deceased Man With Complete Facts Will be Collected
The University of Kansas is making for a permanent record, a special honor or roll of all University men who gave their lives in the service of the country together on the field of battles in training camps, or in the training schools.
For this record requests for a photograph of each deceased man, accompanied by material giving facts of late and place of birth, residence, occupation or business area, are being sent to relatives or near friends.
Phof. M. W. Sterling, Historian of War Activities in the University, has record of 110 University men who died in the war. There are probably many more, according to Professor Sterling, and it is hoped that the families of former students will assist the department in making an accurate record by sending in names that have possibly been overlooked.
"The only actual means of information we have," said Professor Sterling, 'are the casualty lists and newspaper stories. We have the facts for over half the tick, but there is delay in getting many photographs are not ready to seize. The cases the circumstances pertaining to the soldier's death are not at hand.'
The photographs on the bulletin board in Fraser Hall are only a part of those in the possession of Professor Sterling but the board is not large enough to put them all up at once. A different group will be posted next week. When the material of the record is complete it will probably be made into an album with the historical data and obituary material.
