Department Withdraws Objections to Immediate Change
Student Opinion Favorable
Failed to See Reason for Delaying Until Third
Term
The Senate ruling that the work required from students in the department of physical education be put on a pre-war basis in the third quarter was changed to read that the ruling take effect immediately, at the regular meeting of the Senate Tuesday afternoon. Dissatisfaction on the part of the upperclassmen and a change of opinion by the department of physical education were the reasons given for the change.
Students generally failed to see why, if the change was considered beneficial for the third term, it should not be considered so immediately. The department of physical education said the change immediately would throw the depriment into great confusion and result in inconvenience to the students required to take work there. Since that time the department has withdrawn its objections to the change, it was said.
From now on each school will decide the number of hours of physical education for its students. The College requires three hours a week for freshmen and two hours for sophomores, and none for juniors and sen-

Jayhawk Track Team Taking Daily Workout For Meet With Aggies
Coach Hamilton Not Rosy Over Coming Contest at Manhattan
Freshman Squad Promising
Varsity Feels Lack of Old Men Who Haven't Come
Out
Preparation for the first track meet of the season, the annual indoor meet with the Kansas Aggies on the Nichols Gymnastics track at Manhattan, is taking all the spare time of Coach W. O. Hamilton and his Jayhawker track candidates this week. Although a fairly large squad in working out in the gymnastium every afternoon prospects for a winning team are not promising this year, according to Coach Hamilton.
The team is without a hurder and the Kansas coach is hoping that "Tub" Hobart, hurder on last year's team, will show up for practice soon Joseph Schwarz, a sprinter who showed promised last year, has not been out for practice and his appearance would strengthen the sprinting department a great deal. Captain Dorman O'Leary is working out every afternoon and will be in shape for the Aggie meet. O'Leary will probably run against Needley and Gallagher, the Aggie speedsters, in the quarter mile and will also run in the relay. The Manhattan team is especially strong in the quarter mile this year and it is reported from Manhattan that the team has two men who can cover that distance in 52 seconds.
BANKING HARD ON RODKEY
Another middle distance man of promise is Morle Clift. Clift was one of the fastest, men on the squast last year and should be a strong cog in the relay team. He also runs the 220-yard dash in fast time. Ralph Rockey, letter man last year, will enter the half mile and possibly the quarter. Rockey is also the hope of Kansas in the high jump, as he has cleared the bar at 5 feet $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Marshal Haddock, all around athlete, will be the hope of the Jayhawkers in the sprints and the weight events. Heddock took third place in the Pentathlon at the Penn Ray games last year and will be good for several points in any Valley meet.
Charley Heizer, football man, is the most promising pole vaulter on the squad. He has cleared the bar at 10 feet and was second in the best milers in the Valley this year, as he has covered the distance is less than 4 minutes and 50 seconds
and is developing rapidly. Hamna, a letter man on the cross country team, is out for the 2-mile. Ogleivie, a distance man from last year's team, appears as the stamina and should develop into a point winner in the distance runs.
FRESHMAN SQUAD PROMISING
The Jachiwak team has a new puma contains material that is really promising and Coach Hamilton is enthusiastic over the showing the first year men are making. Jackson and Chandler from Westport high school will make good Varsity material next year. Jackson is a hurdler and a spinner while Chandler has polevailed 10 feet 6 inches. Roy Pringle, is out for the weights and the hurdles. Pringle has the size and strength to make him one of the Valley's best men in the field events. In Sexton, he plays at Locustbush school, Coach Hamilton believes he has one of the fastest men ever seen in Robinson gymnasium. Sexton's form is almost perfect and he continually beats the Varsity sprinters in practice.
Coach Hamilton has written to the manager of Convention Hall in Kansas City accepting March 21 as the date for the Kansas-Missouri annual indoor track meet, and expects to receive a contract for the meet on that date soon.
Iphigenia, Lonely Priestess
Is Rescued by Her Brother
Orestes, Captured for Sacrified Finds Sister the Destined Executioner
Miss Dorothea Spinney, the noted English dramatist, will come Thursday to give the Greek play Iphigenia in Tauris, for the students of the University and the people of Lawrence, in Fraser Chapel.
The following is a short synopsis of the story of the play:
"The Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides is motivated by the poet's desire to add mystery and "variety to his plot by laying it in an out-of-the-way corner of the world. A wild sea beats on a still wilder shore inhabited by a people to whom pity to the stranger is unknown. The temple on the beetling cliff reeks with blood of human sacrifice, and the priestess is a Grecian maiden serving against her will. Artemis, the friend of maids, had saved her from her father's sacrificing knife and brought her to this barbarous shine. Here we meet her as the play opens." She has had a disquieting dream which she interprets to mean that Orestes, her brother, is dead. We see at once that her heart is not that of a barbarous priestess but of a homesick girl.
"The second part of the prologue begins the establishment of the contact with her homeland which is the thread that runs through the play--her brother and his bosom friend have come on a secret mission to Taurica. Orestes seeks atonement for his sin. He must find it, so runs the god's path. He moves far country and brings back to Grecian the image of the goddess. The barbarins capture the Greeks and bring them to the temple for the sacrifice
Dutch Wedell Returns Soon to Resume Duty As Y.M.C.A. Secretary
"Then follows a well-handled recognition scene, as a result of which Orestes and Iphigenia join forces in an attempt to escape with the image of Artemis. The play ends with the ghostly lyrics are full of sea-light and the clash of waters.' 'One of the most beautiful of Euripides' extant plays.'
Hugo "Dutch" Wedel, former X. M. C. A.; secretary will return to the University either today or tomorrow, and you are received from him by Prof. E. F. Wardt.

Willard Wattles, the University poet, entertained the listeners with bits from his camp experience. His main talk, however, was an interesting account of the development of poetry in this country to its present status. He interpreted motives in writing, his viewpoint being that life is full of interesting subjects, that we must get down to the "grass roots"—talk about the things we know and in a simple interesting way.
He gave a number of readings from poems he has written. He especially paid tribute to the late Joyce Kilmie as the greatest of recent poets.

Coach Miller Verifies Report of No Baseball At Missouri This Spring
Four-Quarter Plan Makes Schedule Impossible This
Year
The report received here earlier in the year that Missouri would not have a baseball team this year was verified by Coach Miller last week when the Tiger basketball team was here. The Tiger coach said four quarter plan at Missouri would make it almost impossible to play baseball, although the sport would probably be revived next year. Coach Miller had charge of the Missouri baseball team last year.
Kansas has six games schedule with Ames, however, and will have a team. If no other school in the Valley has a nine, games can be played with Kansas conference teams.

Caps Will Appear Soon, Upperclassmen Predict
The Men's Student council apparently has overlooked it in considering the possibility of a strike.
Freshman caps will make their appearance before long, is the general student opinion. The S.A.T.C. made the caps impossible last quarter and one does not hear the freshman cap as much as the upper-classmen as in years past.
“It’s a safe bet the freshmen will wear the caps this year,” said a junior in bearing the tradition discussed today. “The last vote upon the question only abolished paddling and not the caps. The caps will be worn. Just wait until spring arrives.”

Outing and Jayhawker Committees Will Be Named in Spring

Tendency in Other Universities Is Toward Early Closing of All Parties
Dances to Start Earlier
Rules Regarding Management and Cost Referred to Committees
Rule III governing student social affairs was amended to read:
Formal dances may be held until 1 a.m., according to the action of the University Senate Tuesday.
STYLE IS FOR EARLY CLOSING
"Dancing parties may be given only on Friday and Saturday nights and on nights immediately preceding a school holiday. They must close at 12 p. m., except that all-University parties, parties by individual schools, the Junior Promenade, the Sophomore Hop, and one formal dance of each established student organization may continue until 1 a.m. Refreshments may not be served after the closing hours named."
STYLE IS FOR EARLY CLOSING Dr. Albert Corbin, adviser of women, in commenting on the new ruling said that the University is hardly keeping abreast of the times in extending the hour until 1 a.m. The tendency in other universities is toward early closing hours of all parties. Many students, however, feel that the hour should be extended, and if they are willing to open parties somewhat earlier, at 8 o'clock instead of 9 o'clock, the closing hour fixed would satisfy even those who wish to return to pre-war conditions, it was pointed out. The University of Indiana has made a rule closing all parties at 12. In Oregon the students themselves have taken the initiative and have recommended to the faculty that parties begin at 8 and close at 12 o'clock.
Senate Rule II concerning chaeras for dancing parties was amended to apply to any student or group of students as well as to organizations. Emphasis was placed on the second part of the rule, which forbids attendance at public dances by any student of the University.
Rule IV which regulates the cost of dances was referred to a committee composed of the Student Interests Committee and the Auditing Committee.
The rule regarding management of Varsity dances was referred to the Student Interests Committee and they were given power to act.
