K. U. Quintet Defeats Kansas City Polytech By Score Of 50 to 34
Jayhawkers Play in Old Time Form a Part of the Match
Game Easy for Hill Men
Bunn and Miller do Bullseye Work on the Basket
In a game that was featured by Miller and Bunn put Kansas far in loose playing on the part of both teams, Kansas defeated the Kansas City Polytechnic Institute basketball team Wednesday night in Robinson gynasium by a 90-34 score. The Jayhawkers started in whitewind fashion and played in the Kansas City Chiefs in the first few minutes of play. The first half ended with the score 25-12 in favor of Coach Hamilton's men.
BUNN AND MILLER VARSITY STARS
Miller started the scoring for Kansas after a few seconds of play by caging a short field goal. Bunn followed with another and Walker scored for Poly. Ramsey also counted from the field, but field goals by the lead. Ramsey proved the mainstay for the visitors and scored half of their points in the first half. Both players scored for Ramsey for the Jayhawkers and Lonborg broke up the visitors' offense time after time by intercepting passes.
Polytech started the second half with a burst of speed after Miller had caged the first field goal for Kansas from the tippo-off. Ramsey scored twice in succession from the field and Walker contributed several free throws to the total, bringing the Poly score within seven points of the Jayhawkers' . Miller dropped out of the beginning of the two and Bennett substituted at forward. In the final ten minutes of play, Kansas resumed the offensive and Bennett counted several times from under the goal.
JAYHAWKERS SHOW BETTER FORM
SHARP ON FREE THROWS
The Jayhawk five showed improvement over the form displayed here against Missouri, although the Polytechnic quintet did not furnish real opposition. The new Jayhawk combination, with Miller playing regularly at forward and Lonborg at gaurd, showed great improvement over the lineup that began the season. Bennett also showed that he was a good forward by caging six field goals in the last twelve minutes of play. His regular position has been at guard. Lonborg displayed his superior play, as played his usual steady game. The Jayhawks also kept up their good free-throwing, Matthews and Bennett tossing four games in five chances.
Kansas
For Polytech, walker at forward and Ramssey at guard were the stars, although Duvall played well on the floor. Walker missed only one free throw in nine chances, besides caging five field goals, and Ramssey scored seven times from the field.

No R. O. T. C. For Michigan
The Michigan Alumnus reports that, acting on a resolution adopted by the University Senate Council, the Board of Regents recently voted not to establish an R. O. T. C. unit at least during the present year. Unless the Peace Conference findings make it desirable that such an organization be maintained at Michigan, and the Government strongly urges it, there is little probability that the University will take further action in the matter.
Chancellor Sells Stock In Million Dollar Sale
Chancellor Frank Strong is one of the Lawrence men included in the million dollar sale of stock in the Mutual Oil company and the Mutual Oil refinery. The members of the company had a chance to sell their common stock at seven for one and their refinery stock at two for one and all of them have accepted except S. D. Bishon.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 13, 1919.
The Mutual Oil company was a Lawrence company organized less than a year ago by J. R. Greenless with offices in the Lander Building. Later the offices were moved to Kansas City. It own oil fields, pipe refineries and districting stations in built a dozen states. Less than a half a year ago it organized a company in Wyoming to take over some refineries.
The company is not selling out to a rival concern but to men who want to invest their money in a growing and prosperous company. The other members of the company from Lawrence area, R. Greenstein from Lawrence and resident Michael M. Arthur from Minneapolis Underwood and S. D. Bishop (regional counsel.)
This is the biggest deal that has been pulled off in Lawrence for some time and will make a number of the men rich.
College Graduates Must
Be World's Rebuilders
Student Volunteer Secretary
Pleads for Work in Non-
Christian Lands
"The remarkable task of being practically the rebuilders of the world in the next generation is the task that is facing the college men and women today." This is the decided conviction of Mrs. R. Reed McClure, for twelve years a missionary in India, who is at the University representing the Student Volunteer movement.
"The economic and social conditions in nearly every country in the world, especially in the non-Christian lands are in a terrible state of chaos," continued Mrs. McClure, "and it is up to the college students and no one else to meet this challenge of educating the peoples of less educated students so that they be made fit to establish democratic governments for themselves and place their citizens on a higher standard of living."
An urgent call has been sent out for graduates in many varied branches. The greatest need is for doctors and nurses. Requests have been made for domestic science, music, kindergarten, and elementary grade school teachers, architects, printers, dentists, pharmacists, and art teachers.

Plain Tales From the Hill
In the picture at the Varsity Theater Tuesday, the travel features showed the capers of the Fiji fanatics, terrocious cannibals on a desert island. Well, well, when did the old red brick house gang at Eighth and Louisiana install a chapter in the Fijis.
WE WILL DRINK IT, TOO, IF NECESSARY
A stranger passing the river the other day remarked that it would be nice to see where there wouldn't be any water visible.
Maybe so. Maybe so. But an long as half of it is now dumped into the bath-tubs, and onto the wrist-cloths of students, we feel that every one awareness is doing his bit to keep the dead from accumulating in the river.
Keen Burwell would make an ideal travelling man. Sunday night he was coming home from Kansas City and forgot to get off at Lawrence. When he did decide to leave the train, he found he was in Topeka where he had gone while he had been napping. But that didn't worry him in the least. He simply consulted his schedule and decided to take the morning train for Lawrence. A travelling man gets used to staying anywhere.
This poem was sent special to the Kansan by Lotta Beaux who says she is getting tired of the monotony of life at K.U.:
W. S. G. A. WOMAN CARRIES A GUN
Notice: The Kappas not only have a gun at their house, but a woman who knows how to shoot it. All "funny and cute" secenarians as well as burglaries are warned that in the event of an intrusion she, being a member of the W.S.G.A. will not make any exceptions for age, color, occupation or social connections, but will aim square and true.
"One more day to live
One more meal to eat
One more excuse to give,
One more date to meet."
The student directory is now ready for the press and will be distributed to them.

Journalism Jazz Limited To One Hundred Couples
Third Annual Journalism Jazz Will be Featured by Stunts and Decorations
That K. U, men and women can dance in comfort, without the customary bumps and collisions occasioned at the usual university parties in the Gym, was assured this morning by the statement of Freed Ribby, the Journalism Jazz manager who said that the ticket sale would positively stop when tickets for 100 couples were sold. "The ticket sale is progressing in great shape" said the Jazz manager, "and as soon as 100 tickets are sold, the sale will stop point-blank. A party can be ruined, even though music, decorations, programs, etc., are excellent, if the floor is crowded. We do not propose to let the reputation of the Jazz parties in the past suffer by allowing a single flow to creep into
The Journalism Jazz, scheduled for March 7, will be the third annual party given by the Associated Journalism Students. Music will be furnished by K. U.'s favorite—D. Ambert Haley, who will be accompanied by Bewinsy at the violin, and imported talent at the saxophone and drum. A special program composed of some of the latest Jazz hits will be presented by K. U., as well as nifty music, the Jazz management also promises a number of other features including clever programs and decorations.

Kansas City Schmelzers
Give Gobs First Defeat
Broke Sailors' Record of Seventeen Consecutive Games Won
Kansas City Schmelzer's all-star basketball team sent the Great Lakes sailors to their first defeat of the season Wednesday night at Convention Hall, by a score of 45-39. The game was close from the start and at one time the gobs had a lead of ten points on the Schmelzer's. The Great Lakes five had won seventeen consecutive games without a defeat before the game with the Schmelzer's.
Milton Singer, star forward, and Captain Forrest DeBernardi, center, played well for the Kansas City team and together scored fifteen field goals. Felmley, former Illinois captain and forward, was the Great Lakes star with seven goals from the field, and Chandler of Wisconsin played a good game at center. Lawrence "Fat" Nelson, Jayhawker captain in 1917, played guard for the Schmelzer's.
Seniors Will Discuss Commencement Plans
Class Officers Hope to Make Day a Memorable Event
A meeting of the senior class has been called by Herman C. Hangen for 4:30 Friday in Room 110 Fraser. A meeting of the senior class has been urged to be present.
The University Senate has set the date for Commencement for June 16. This makes Commencement come on Monday instead of Wednesday which has been the custom from time immemorial and the meeting Friday has been called to discuss and decide which date the seniors prefer. Both sides will be presented by members of the faculty.
The invitation committee will also tell of their plans and show some of the samples they have at the meeting.
University convocations will also be discussed with a view to having speakers here with some degree of regularity.
Plans for the programs on Class and Commencement days will also be provided.
It is the plan of the senior officers this year to make commencement a big event, as it happens but once in a lifetime, and the idea of this open meeting to meet with the different departments and organizations regarding Commencement and all that goes with it.
Is University Senate Usurping Rights Belonging To Students?
Two Y's Will Give Party In Gym Saturday Night
A "Good Time College" party will be given by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night in Robinson Gymnasium. Everyone is invited to come, both non and women, to the event, chairman of the social committee.
The party will be conducted as if the people were all students in "The Good Time College." First they will register, the fee being ten cents. Then enrollment will be held, each enrolling in the department in which he is interested. Then the different departments will be expected to give stunts, featuring that particular department.
"It is going to be one of the best parties ever given," said Mary Samson, chairman of the publicity department, "and certainly one of the most original. Everyone is invited to come."
American Indian Songs Composed By Lieurance Will Be Sung Monday
First Americau Composer to Feature Music of Aborigines Will Appear in Concert
Thurlow Lieurance, who will appear in concert in Fraser Hall, Monday evening, February 17, is a new artist in American musical composition.
Probably no other American composer has gone so deeply into the customs and habits of so many tribes of American Indians or has sacrificed so much to secure accurate results.
His songs are being sung by practically all the leading artists in the concert field. Alma Gluck, Frieda Cohn, Claire and others have featured his songs.
The program will be illustrated by Indian songs sung by Edna Woolley (Nah Mee), an Indian soprano, who will dramatize most of the songs in real Indian fashion. Mr. Rex Fair will play several flute solos, as the flute is the chief Indian instrument. Prof. Carl Preyer will play Orem's Indian Rhapsody, which is based on ten Indian songs by Lieurance.
Two other concerts will be given in Fraser Hall during the winter; the Zoellner String Quartet, March 4, and Harold Henry, April 8.

Governor Allen Asked To Address Students
It is probable that Gov. Henry J. Allen will address the students of the University at convocation.
"I wrote to him last night and invited him to speak to us," said Chancellor Frank Strong, this morning. "Of course I have not heard from him yet and probably will not see them days, but feel certain that he will come." The attention will take place until next week at any rate."

Paring of Prices for Parties Causes Protest By Undergraduates
Some Difference of Opinion
Many Faculty Members Against Senate, While Not All Students Agree
The recent paring by the University Senate of admission prices to parties given and managed by students and student organizations is causing agitation among students for and against the Senate and is resulting in charges being made that the Senate is automatic and is usurping rights of students to govern themselves. This agitation seemingly is vague, but is so much a general thought in the bounds of legal procedure that it could be called the most frequently and warmly discussed University subject today.
Many students apparently believe the Senate is interfering unwarrantedly. Others uphold the Senate as a whole or in part. There is also a division in the faculty. Some of the members believe the Senate is going too far and that it is eliminating student government.
In an effort to help to a better mutual understanding of student and faculty views, The Daily Kansan has interviewed faculty members and students. It is believed that the publishing of these views may aid eventually to real team work between faculty and students. Finally, it is hoped that daily Kansan has tried to limit the subject to the answers of three questions:
First, the general question. Should the University go back to a pre-war strategy?
Second. Is the Senate attempting to take initiative and self-determination from students by fixing prices to student parties, by insisting on supervising or censoring the management of strictly student affairs?
The questions, placed indiscriminately from the total collected, follow:
Third, Should there be student representation in the Senate? Would it be desirable and fair? What plan would you prefer?
"I believe we should reinstate all the school functions and activities that were cut out at the beginning of the war," said Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking, "and get back some of that old 'pep we used to have, which is so lacking now.
"Prices for parties should be fixed by the students in joint committee with the Senate. The students should and would demand sensible prices. I am very strong for student representation in University affairs, and if it is not possible for the students to sit in the Senate, there should be a joint committee of students and Senate to decide matters that vitally interest the students. If it is possible for them to become honorary members of the Senate, that plan would be a fine one, I believe."
"The Senate action regulating the management and prices of the parties has been fully justified," said Lucene Spencer, president of the W.S.G.A. "The Senate took that action at the request of the W.S.G.A. and Men's Student Council because there wasn't enough initiative among the students to want to save themselves from graft in class parties."
"We should get back to a pre-warasis on everything as soon as possible." said Ulec "Jimmy" Green, Dean of the School of Law. "We are dead now—or at least rather quiet —there is not much college vim and go. It is not right for the Senate to fix the prices on the parties. I am one against many, and I know that it is being done in other colleges and universities, but no laws should be laid down. We should use persuasion and advice with the students. They are young men and young women, not kids, and they have good sense. We ought not to tell them what they can and can not do. The Senate should act as a charion to the students only. The big parties should be class affairs. I fought hard to keep the junior prom as a class affair. Nowdays it is no more a 'junior prom' than any other party. The Junior Prom is a college tradition and I believe in college traditions."
