Colonel Walker Favors R.O.T.C. at University; Different from S.A.T.C
Officers' Camp Would Involve More Academic Than Military Training
Former Dean Here on Leave
Is Now Engineer on Staff of 19th Division at Camp Dodge, Iowa
Col. P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, who is now engineer on the staff of the 19th Division, stationed at Camp Dodge Iowa, is at the University this week on a 14-day leave.
When a reporter for The Kanas asked his opinion in regard to establishment, an R.O.T.C. unit here, Colonel Wainar said:
"I believe it is something the University should have."
The R.O.T.C. has but few points of similarity with the S.A.T.C. Colonel Walker pointed out. The S.A.T.C. was an enlisted man's training camp, a federal unit, while the RO.T.C. is an officers' training camp carried out along academic lines. The student who enrolls in the R.O.T.C. will participate in a very small amount of drill in the school year. Plans prescribed by the training section of the War College emphasize physical rather than military training, said Colonel Walker.
Since departing from the University on leave of absence in the spring of 1917, Colonel Walker has been attached to engineer regiments in the National Army, in the National Guards, and in the Regular Army. His first assignment, after receiving his commission as major, was to the 314th Regiment of the 89th National Army Division at Camp Funston, where he remained six weeks. He was then transferred to the 109th Regiment of the 34th National Guard Division, stationed at Camp Cody, N. M.
Just before this division started to go overseas, Colonel Walker was again transferred, this time to the 219th Regiment in training at Camp Humphrey. Va. This regiment of engineers was formed to be a part of the 19th Division then being organized at Camp Dodge, Iowa. He went to Camp Dodge November 1, 1918, where he has since been stationed. He received promotion to the rank of lieutenant-colonel in August, 1918, when he took command of the 219th regiment. The 19th has been demobilized as a division; however, the division headquarters remain and Colonel Walker is on the staff as division engineer.
C. C. Young will Leave University for Michigan
Colonel Walker does not know when he will receive his discharge. He expects to resume his work as dean of the School of Engineering before next September, possibly before the end of the present school year.
NUMBER 79.
C. C. Young, superintendent of the water laboratory of the University of Kansas, will not return to his position here upon discharge from the army, but will go directly to Lansing, Mich., to take a position with the bank office. He probably will be in charge of the state water laboratory in that state.
Professor Young is now camp sanitary engineer at Camp Meade, Md., and holds a commission as a first lieutenant.
Dean F. J. Kelly to Visit Kansas Colleges This Week
Dean F. J. Kelly spoke before a meeting of the city teachers of Ottawa last night, and will speak before the meeting of the Saline County Teachers Association in Salina, Saturday.
Dean Kelly is also visiting most of the Kansas colleges this week as a member of the inspection committee of the North Central Educational Association. A member of the committee to review the colleges regularly is if the schools are keeping up the requirements of their grade classification.
Dr. W. L. Burdick went to Cliburne Friday to give a lecture, as a number on their season's lecture course. Doctor Burdick will go to St. Joseph, Mo., March 5, to give a number there also on the lecture course.

The Proposed Arbitration of the Italian-Jugo-Slavery frontier question is for the moment in abeyance. The Italian premier informed President Wilson that it would be impossible to arbitrate over a proposal without first consulting the king and cabinet, and if necessary the parliament.
The Tourgeois Proposition for an inter-Allied military force to enforce peace was defeated by an overwhelming vote at the meeting of the Society of Nations commission today. The French and Czecho-Slovaks were the only representatives voting in the affirmative. The draft of the Society of Nations plan was then unanimously adopted as a whole. The final draft consists of twenty-six articles.
Transportation Facilities Were demoralized in Western Kansas today as the result of a severe storm which was sweeping across that section of the state under the urge of a fifty mile mule gate. Snow accompanied the wind and blocked the roads. The wrecks were blown down and news was meager. Trains on Missouri Pacific lines west of Concordia have been cancelled.
Wilson's ideals Have prevailed over France in the armistice decision. If Germany conforms to all restrictions the blockade will be slackened to aid her industrial life. The imposition that Germany demon- liberate her from control by twenty-five divisions indicates that the American ideas have prevailed over the extreme desire of the French to crush Germany.
Manufacturers From St. Louis, Kansas City and Jefferson City appeared before the Senate committee this afternoon and before the house committee on labor tonight in opposition to bills pending in both chambers to establish ankenews walking law for women. The present arrangements call for nine hours work, or fifty-four hours to constitute a week.

Students Must Demand Chapel if it is Held
Senate Ruling Interferes With Proposal for More Frequent Convocations
The students must take it into their own hands and start a movement for more frequent convocations if they are to be held," said H. G. Ingham", chairman of the faculty convoction committee.
"As conditions stand now, the Senate has made a regulation which prevents us from having convocations except at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It is almost impossible for the committee to call a general convocation at that hour unless we have some very well known speaker because the members do not come out as speakers, the speaker may perhaps a hundred or two students and faculty which certainly does not make a favorable impression.
"The members of the faculty committee are divided on the question of having regular University chapel in school hours. Two of the members on the committee believe the students should spend the full class period in class work and that regular chapel, because it would shorten the class periods on one day, would be unwise. Other members on the committee feel that community gatherings of the students and faculty are a vital part of the University life and that more would be gained by regular convocations than would be lost in class time."
Students Would Establish University Commons
Common Meeting Place and Permanent Cafeteria Desired At University
Student agitation resulted in a meeting of the representatives from all the organizations, Wednesday, to form a committee to obtain a University Commons.
A committee was elected from the representation and it will meet in the near future to work out a campaign. It is probable that the committee will draft plans for a building in which a permanent cafeteria can be maintained and in which reception rooms will be available for general use.
The committee consists of Edna Burch, Frances Hitchcock, Isabel Crandall, Lewis Duff, and Lewis Os-Wald.
Capt. Tony James Wounded In Service in France
Has Been With 110th Engineers Since War Was Deployed
Declared
Word has been received that Tony James, Jayhawker football captain of 1915, has been wounded in France where he was in service with the 110th Engineers. The company of which Tony James was in command went across May 2. They were then set to the Alsace front where they were employed in building roads and dug-outs, and in making barb-wire entanglements; they were not under this sensor but moved later to the Arrighone Forest sector where they did their first real work under fire September 26. Here, they were to follow up the tanks to help them if they got stuck.
Senate meeting will be held at 7:30 o'clock Monday instead of 4:30 because of the funeral of Lieutenant Garver.
The extreme energy of the American soldiers was shown by an incident in the Alsae sector. The engineers were sent out at night to put up barb-wire entanglements. They were given a supply of wire supposed to be sufficient to last them two weeks but the Americans used up the entire supply by 11 o'clock that night.
Announcements
A Valentine party will be given at the Christian Church this evening at 7:30 o'clock. All young people are welcome.
The Graduate Club will be entertained Friday night at the home of Miss Marjorie Rickard, 1703 Kentucky.

Freshmen Will Have
Pictures in Jayhawker
Frosh Will Be Allowed Individual Photographs in Peace Book
At the meeting of the freshman class Thursday night Harley Scott, president of the class, said that the meeting was merely a nucleus for later meetings, a preliminary in which to make arrangements for later activity. The class worked on plans and progress made for the woman's mixer and the men's smoker.
The main reason for calling the meeting is to put before the class the proposition offered them by the Jayhawker board, by which the members of the freshman class would be permitted to have individual pictures in the Peace Book. The motion was carried that the class reserve a space in the Jayhawker, and many pledged their pictures. Arrangements are being made whereby all the members of the class will be asked to do so.
Though the attendance at the meeting was small, those present were a representative body of the class, and showed considerable class spirit. Another meeting of the class will be held in Fraser next Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, at which a much larger attendance is expected.
Sour Owl Columns Open To Student Contributions
Names of Successful Artists and Authors to Be Placed on Contributing Staff
The editor asked that students who have written material for the humor magazine hand it in promptly to any member of the Owl Board or Owl Society. Much material has been compiled already, he said.
"Cartoonists among the students will have a chance to get their work before the University in the Souw Owl," said Luther Hangen, editor of the magazine, today. "The Owl will publish worthy cartoons in its first issue of the year, the early part of March.
The idea held by some that only members of the owl society contribute to the Sour Owl is a mistake. Hangen said. Any student may contribute, he said, the Owl board of managers acting as a selecting and editing board.
"Students with a knack of drawing should hand in cartoons or joke illustrations. If accepted the drawings will be published and the artists' placed on the Sour Owl contributing staff. All illustrations may be handed to Fred Leach, art editor, or any member of the Owl Board."
Goldsmith Vice President of Kansas Architects
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith of the department of architectural engineering was elected vice-president of the Kansas Society of Architects which held its annual meeting in Topeka January 31.
Professor Goldmith read a paper before the society on "Code of Ethics of the American Institute of Architects," after which the same code was adopted by the state society. The society recommended a law which would require the registration of all architects in the state, but it is considered doubtful if such a bill will be passed by the present legislature.

War Photographs on Display
The photographs of the University men who have died in the service have been collected by Prof. M. W. Sterling and are being displayed in Fraser Hall. "We do not have room to display all of the photographs at once," said Professor Sterling, "but they will be changed from time to time until all have been shown."
Lieut. Fleeson Awarded Oak Leaf Service Medal
First Lieut. Howard T. Fleeson of Sterling, a former student in the college, has been awarded a bronze oak leaf to be worn on the distinguished service medal awarded him on October 3, 1918. He won the oak leaf near Buzancy, France, October 30, 1918.
Lieutenant Fleeson, signal corps observer for the Twelfth aero squadron, accompanied a formation of nine planes on a photographic mission in German territory and was with the three which penetrated into the enemy country and were attacked by eighteen other companies, two of whom he tried to assist were shot down. Lieutenant Fleeson fought his way back to his own lines, destroying two enemy planes in the combat.

In the last play, however, he plays the role of a lover whose ardent advances are spurned by the fair lady. Webb finds this a hard part to take. He learns that he cannot love loversick in his speeches and then finally he gave it up and sinking down disgusted in his chair groomed;

1918 Electrical Graduates Are all in U. S. Service
Out of eleven men in the 1918 class of electrical engineering, according to Prof. F. Ellis Johnson, ten have been in active service while the eleventh man has been in civilian service for the government. And out of the ten men in active service, nine have received commissions in the army, navy, and marines. The tenth man had been recommended for an officer's training camp when the armistry was signed.
Two Former K. U. Men Are Flying in Florida
Rathford who was a member of the Kansan staff while in school, enlisted is the Naval Reserve Flying Corp trained his ground training at Boston.
L. Paul Rathford, c16, writing from the U. S. N. Air Station, Miami, Fla., says that he is still flying around over Biscayne Bay, burning up government gasoline.
Warren W. Woody, who played ris second year at guard on the football team in 1917, is also at Miami with Rathford in the same service. Woody enlisted last summer and received his ground training at Seattle.
Prof. H. P. Cady, of the department of physical chemistry, will give a lecture to the Graduate Club, February 28, on the subject of "Liquid Air," with laboratory demonstrations. The former experiments for this lecture have been enlarged upon and new material on this subject will be presented. The lecture will be held in Room 305 of the chemistry building at 7:30 p. m., and any members of the student body interested are invited.
Junior Women Win Basketball Tourney By One Free Throw
Sophomores Crippled by Loss of Captain and Star Forward
Freshmen Win from Seniors
Results in Three Classes in Tie For Second Place
The freshmen defeated the senior team in one of the fastest games of the year, 21 to 18. This makes the senior, sophomore and freshman teams tie for second place in the tournament.
Junior women won the 1919 womans basketball tournament in the final round of the tournament by defeating the sophomore team to 10 in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday night. A free throw by-Ruth Trant after time had been called won the game for the juniors who had tied the score with the sophomores 9 to 9 in the last minute of play.
These two games were the closest and roughest that have been played on the court this year according to Coach Hazel Pratt. All of the teams were heavily fouled for crowding and over-guarding.
SOPHOMORE TEAM CRIPPLED
The sophomore team was crippled by the loss of both of their regular forwards, Captain Helen Barnett and Margaret Gwaresson, on account of illness. The two substitute forwards, Mary Olsen and Marie Brown, played an excellent game for never having played together before. Marie Brown scored 20 points and a squad this year but scored three of the nine points. Helen Olson and Medi Smith covered the center field well and showed fine team work.
The junior team did not play up to their usual standard in the game last night. Ruth Trant at forward played her usual fast game. Although she was heavily guarded, she made more saves than her team's score. Dorsis Drought played a good game at running center and threw one field goal.
At the end of the first half the sophomores were in the lead 9 to 5. The juniors gradually piled up the score in the second半分.
L FRESHMEN PASS BALL QUICKLY L
In the senior-freshmen game some of the finest team work that has been shown this year was displayed by the freshman. Harkrander and Cretcher, the centers, succeeded in getting the tip-on nearly every time and the ball went down to the freshmen goal by a series of quick passes. Light played Sparks, the other guard intercepted many of the senior passes when they came close to the goal. Jeanneette Parkinson starred for the seniors making four field goals and two free throws. Majorie Castle, the senior center played a good game although she was unable to get the tip-off from the freshmen center. The score;
