Honor System Accepted By Men of University; Want Senate Approva
NUMBER 67.
Advocate Student Board to Pass on Cases of Cheating
Men and Women Members
Men Meeting Also Nominated Men to Fill Vacancies On Council
The men of the University of Kansas accepted the honor system in their meeting in Fraser Hall Tuesday afternoon and drew up a resolution which will be handed to the University Senate designating the way the honor system will work. The men are in favor of the honor system as it is a top toward student government and we men think the cheaters will act with discretion in crooking when they know all of their fellows are against cheating. The resolution as drawn up and approved by the men is:
Resolved: That the honor system be adopted in all schools of the University of Kansas, such a system to eliminate all supervision of examinations by instructors or agents other than the students themselves, who may report any cheating, copying, or unfair practice to the joint board. Said board to consist of five junior or seniors elected from the men's student body, and four women from the women's student body. Said elections to be held in the sprgm, one representative from the law, pharmacy, and engineering schools, and three from the College, provided a case of a vacancy, the Men's Student Council shall appoint. The Men's joint board shall have excluding jurisdiction over all cases under the honor system, and may use such disciplinary measures as it deems fit, provided that in case of expulsion from the school is ordered, said order shall be subject to review by the Men's Student Council, whose decision shall be final in cases affecting men students.
The women of the University who called a meeting some time ago to discuss the question have accepted the men's plan and want four women representatives on the joint board. The system was debated by the men and finally passed. The men believed that there will be less cheating under the system and that the persons who do the cheating will be found out and dealt with fairly and immediately. Any violation of the honor system may be reported to this joint committee which will take the matter up.
The reason for designating five men, and only four women for members of the board, as given by the men" was that the women of the University have already appointed four members of a committee, and it was felt advisable to have an odd number of persons or the board.
The men held an election to fill out the student council and athletic board
Nurses Should Apply To Doctor Clark for Pay
Nurses and volunteer nurses who served during the influenza epidemic in the S. A. T. C. hospital barracks may get pay for their work by applying to Dr. A. W. Clark, 929 Massachusetts Street, who was chairman of the Nursing Relief Commission. Those pay must give their names and time they worked to Doctor Clark or the Red Cross by February 1.
It is hoped that the Federal Government will pay these women at the rate of $500 a month and $150 a day for subsistence, the pay received by those who served at Haskell Institute.
Doctor Clark has names of twenty-seven women who served in the S. A. T. C. hospital barracks, but not their addresses nor the time they served. Most started on October 11, 1918.
Only Sixteen Students To Try Out for Debate
Henry Shinn, coach and manager of the inter-university debate between Missouri and Kansas, reports that the number of names handed in to him for try-out Thursday is exceedingly small. At present there are only 16 names, but the team has been turned in, and the coach believes that there should be at least twenty-five. Try-outs will be in the Little Theater Thursday.
Moths and Butterflies Flutter About Spooner
Night time truly was never made for study, especially in Spooner Library, during the wonderful premature spring weather that Jupiter is bestowing upon the creatures on the earth now. Only the real moths of the University are attracted by the brilliant lights of Spooner now.
Don't be mistaken. Others go, others besides the moths, but they tarry not long among the learned volumes that the noble ancestors of the University have bestowed upon this generation to cultivate the young Kansas minds. They go, yes. They sit, to be sure, and they have not the attitude of those that intend to stay long. Every time the outside door opens and a young gallant appears, the butterflies flutter simultaneously. The books which they are supposedly reading sometimes upside down, hold no more interest for them. They all watch enthusily to see who the lucky woman is going to be. As the couple walk happily out of the educated atmosphere, they all sight, and watch expectantly for their admirer to appear.
By 9:30 clock the last bit beep. To
withdraw them, you can find more lively
withdraw dates.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 29, 1919.
"Doctoring By Mail Is New Course Given By Extension Division
"Home Health and Home Nursing" is Subject of Correspondence Class
Waiting for a doctor to come twenty-five miles and then to have him come in drunk is only one of the many startling experiences that are being told to Dr. Florence Brown Sherbon by Kansas mothers who are taking a new correspondence course in "Home Health and Home Nursing" offered by the University of Kansas.
"This woman is the mother of two children under 2 years old," said Doctor Sherbon. "Her experience emphasizes the need of more physicians in Kansas, especially for practice among farmers, and a need of better education of Kansas women generally on health subjects. Many women write me that their families are without necessary medical attention because roads are so bad physicians cannot read a doctor, the woman's husband had had 2 crop failures in the last two years. Perhaps they couldn't have afforded to call another doctor if one had been available."
Doctor Sherbon's correspondence in "home doctoring" is one of the most individual and 'bipopt enteric division has ever attempted.
"It is my purpose," said Doctor Sherbon, "to get enough information from the people needing help that I may visualize their individual cases. It is not difficult then to send the proper lessons and to give suggestions. I don't expect people to study this course. All that is required is that they read it. I find a good personal letter to some farmer's wife will give the desired stimulus for study. "No one has dropped the lessons after taking them up and my children are un题获幼稚. So far, I have calls for help from people living in town. The great bulbs of the letters come from women living in the country, but it is my plan to make the course as valuable and helpful to women in the small towns and even the cities."
Doctor Sherbon's course is open to all residents of Kansas on application to the University extension division, Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to being a graduate nurse and an M. D., Doctor Sherbon is the mother of twins.
All members of Aboku will meet at Brick's at 9 o'clock Wednesday night. Please take notice the hour before leaving from 7:30 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
Announcements
Jayhawker Board meeting at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the old Kansan office.

French Soldier-Historian Will Speak February
Monsieur Andre Fribourg Wil
Give Annual Alliance Fran-
caise Lecture
M. Andre Fribourg, French historian, journalist and soldier in the first days of the war, will give the annual French lecture of the departant of Romance languages, February 21. His subject will be, "La Jeunesse intellectuelle française et la guerre." Monsieur Fribourg is professor of history and geography in the College Chantal, the College Sainte-Barbe, and the upper school of the Paris Chamire de Commerce. He has written particularly of the French Revolution and of economic geography. He has received three prizes from the Academic Franceise.
He enlisted in a French infantry regiment August 2, 1914, and fought until September, 1915, when he was discharged for wounds received in action in advance of the front line trenches. His works since that time have dealt with the Alsace-Lorraine question.
The one book which took the 1918 Academic prize is "Creio, Histoire d'un soldat." He is now lecturing for the Alliance Francaise.
Smiley, Former Student,
Wounded in Argonne
"Artillery Support Could Not Keep Up With Infantry."
He Said
Stanton L. Smiley of Co. M, which is composed entirely of students of the University of Kansas, returned to his home at Wilder, Kansas, Monday. Smiley was wounded in the Battle of the Argoine Forest.
When asked his opinion regarding the support, or lack of artillery support given his division in the Argonne fighting, Smiley said: "There was plenty of artillery support, when the started out, but the infantry went so fast is was impossible for the artillery to keep up."
Mr. Smiley spoke of seeing William Studer, a former student in the University, coming back from the front, bleeding from a shrapnel wound in his side. Smiley was a student in the college in 1915-16 and 1916-17 until Co. M. left for Fort Sill. He will not be back in school this year.
Former Men of S. A. T. C.
Neglect Hospital Dues
Probably many of the students, especially former members of the S. A. T. C, are unacquainted with the privileges which the University Hospital and Infirmary offer them.
Very few, if any, of the S. A. T. C. students have paid their hospital fee. Although the hospital will turn away no student who desires attention, yet it would please them if these students paid their fee of two dollars for the remaining part of the year.
The student who pays his hospital fee of $1 per quarter can at any time get medicine free at the hospital. Physicians hold regular office hours there, and ordinary prescriptions will at any time be filled. If the student is suddenly taken seriously ill and is unable to appear at the hospital a physician will take care of him if he is so ill he needs to go to a hospital, the University Hospital will take care of him at the nominal price of one dollar a day.
The Commerce Club held an informal meeting of the old members last night at the Sigma Nu house. At the election of officers during the meeting Louis Potuck was chosen president; Daniel Cromwell was vice president; Dwight Smith, secretary and treasurer. The club will meet next week at the Sigma Chi house.
Armenian-Jewish Relief Campaign Lagging Here
Kansas is Asked to Raise $600,
000 of $100,000,000 That
is Needed.
Names for the new student directory are being gathered today and tomorrow by the Men's Student Council of the University. Blanks have been placed in several of the buildings, and are being filled in by the students. Here is a sample blank filled:
How to Fill Out Directory Information Blank
The Armenian-Jewish Relief drive has not met with success up to the present time in the State of Kansas. Of the $10,000,000 Kansas is asked, $600,000. To date Kansas has not failed in a single drive but if this drive is successful the people will have to get behind the campaign and give more liberally than they have up to date, according to authorities.
The purpose of this drive is even more important than that of previous drives in that the money goes directly to these Armenians who are dying by the thousands. The University is not carrying on a campaign for the country, but is now conjunction with the city. Up to date the drive in the city is far behind and the people act very indifferent as to the result.
Kansas has asked for an extension of time to raise the required amount. Only a few towns have subscribed their quota.
Stiff Practice Puts Jayhawkers In Trim To Meet Tiger Team
Freshmen Players Give Promise For Future Basket Ball
Teams
Concn Hamilton put his Jayhawker five through a stiff 40-minute scrimmage with the freshman team Friday night in preparation for the important series with Missouri Friday and Saturday on the home court. The Varsity, although handicapped by the 20-point lead given to the yearlings, easily won the game and showed improvement in their floor work exhibited in the Baker game. Most of the wild passing was eliminated, although the forwards missed several easy chances to score.
After another hard scrimmage to-night, the team will take it easy Thursday and be ready for the Tiger invasion Friday night. Every man is in good condition and will be ready to battle the Missourians to the finish. Missouri is coming here with a clean slate, having won five games this year, including four regularly scheduled Valley games.
Coach Hamilton worked his men in several combinations against the freshmen Tuesday night and each player had a chance to show what he could do. The lineup at the beginning of the scrimmage was: Lonborg and Harms, forward; Matthews, center and Mason and Bunn, guard. Bunn played guard about half the time last year and may be used in that position against the Tigers, as Miller, Lonborg and Harms could take care of the forward positions. Bennett got into the game in the last half and put up his usual hard exhibition. Bennett plays running guard and if he is in form against Missouri as he was in the first Ames games, Kansas' chances of winning will be increased a great deal.

The freshmen put up a stiff resistance against the varsity in the early part of the scrimmage and showed promise of developing into a combination that will be hard to beat before the season is over. Coach Bond is putting the yearling candidates, about fifteen in number, through signal and passing practice every night and has several men who will prove valuable additions to the varsity next year, providing they return to school. Scoop Olson, star Lawrence high school center of last year, is playing

Eaters and What They Eat Subject of Study
The average student or other customer goes into the cafeteria, takes a tray, glances at the bulletin board and then has his tray filled with anything that looks good to him. The only guides that he knows or follows are monochrom and his postcard book. It knows not even common smeal in eating.
Scientists have figured out this business of eating and the home economics students of the University and also the dietitians can spot you the minute you enter the cafeteria, and decide right away what you should order. Of course, you don't order what they think you should, because when you are hungry you don't care to be a scientific specimen. What you want is food. But anyway you have provided the student with material for a lecture next time class meets.
Don't think you can sneak into an eating place without some of these students watching, and wishing that they could warn you.
"A certain woman on the Hill who always goes around as if she carried the weight of the universe and the University upon her shoulders came into the cafeteria the other noon and

Plain Tales From the Hill
ANOTHER EVIL OF THE S. A. T. C.
ANOTHER EVOL. OF THE S. A. T. C.
The men are back in office again
here at K.U. Heensens, Yes! Couldn't
you tell it? Haven't you noticed how
spick and span every thing is? At
the Kanan队 office, we now have a man
in the office, but he isn't the Chief.
The first thing these new office
holders did when they came into
their new offices was to have a regular
old-fashioned cleaning day.
They brought their dust rags from home, swiped a broom and dust pan from a poor defenseless janitor and went to work. Yes, you see they simply can't forget that training they got in S.A.T.A.T. training gives them to distraction and they cannot work until they get the furniture polish.
Time was when they used to be very annoyed by the orderliness of one or two women members of the board, but now they take all the statistics and valuable information that has been compiled by the women in their absence and after inspecting it, it can they disarrange it into orderly piles so that no one could possibly find it. We welcome them back.
"How Mary had a little lamb I'll tell you in a trice Because it was a meatless day And Mary had the price."
This type of plain tale will appear now and then for the next few weeks so be expecting it. The Kansan has absolutely quit all rough stuff so that there will be something left for the Editors of the Sour Owl and other scandal-mongers to print.
That class in architecture certainly develop some original ideas. One girl when asked to draw a plan for a home, drew one long room with a trap door underneath marked rubish. Who said girls weren't good at evening aid saving devices.
In letters written to the Kansan giving advice to students as to their future occupations in life, one of the requirements stressed in a letter from the Bacteriology department: "Ability to work with people, especially in emergency situations" bacteriologists if this was the only requirement. However later on in the letter is says: "Keep you head and be sure of yourself."
Ambitious Reporter: Oh, the Law school has passed something again. I'm not sure whether it is about Holder or P physical Training but it is something rash like that.
A couple of men called at one of the sorority houses Sunday night. They happened to stand just in front of some long glass doors, and they stood there all of two minutes before ringing the bell. The girls seemed to be all crazy to dance but the housemother was gone and they didn't like to disobey house rules while she was gone, so each girl was swaying this way and that all by herself, displaying new and unheard of steps and graceful, and little and big kicks, under the supposition that dancing by yourself doesn't count. At last Scott Johnson got up all his power and rang the door-bell, but he said it was a mighty hard thing to do.
Ask Kansas to Enroll In Woman's Land Army For Summer Service
Department of Labor Believes Women Will Have to Help Relieve Labor Shortage
Director of Units Spoke
Will Go to Topeka to Ask State Co-operation in Organizing For Work
Kansas may be the next state to enroll in the Woman's Land Army, the purpose of which is to relieve labor shortage, if the plans of Dr. Ida H. Ogrivile, professor of geology at Barnard College, and director of the several hundred units now established in the country, are carried out. Doctor Ogrivile addressed the members of the Y. W. C. A. and the Women's Forum, Tuesday, in Fraser Chapel, she spoke last night at a meeting of the Department of Doctor Ogrivile will present her plans for the establishment of a land army unit in Kansas. The extension of this organization is urged by the Department of Labor at Washington.
Twenty-one states enlisted in the Woman's Land Army in 1918, and placed 20,000 trained women on farms to relieve the labor shortage last year. In view of the fact that a large army of occupation must be maintained in Europe, the Department of Labor at Washington believes the farm labor shortage will be acute this year unless some provision is made to fill the places left vacant by the men. The army overseas will not be returned in time to take part in the planting and harvesting of crops.
Twenty million tons of food must be produced this year, according to the Department of Labor, and trained laborers must be at hand to produce it. Therefore, the Department urges the Women's Land Army to continue its work this year, at least until the food crisis is past.
The Woman's Land Army began its work in a small way in 1917. Seventy-five women, including Barnard College women as well as working girls from the city, were trained in farm work at Bedford N. Y., and were sent out to relieve labor shortages in the city's vicinity. Every phase of farm work, from pitching hay to picking apples, was taught at the Bedford unit.
The organization in 1918 was extended to include other of the Northeastern states and the movement across the country to the Pacific Coast.
Doctor Ogilvie believes that agriculture is a new field which has been opened to women by the war. In every instance where the women were given the preliminary training they received from members of the members of the Woman's Land Army were recruited from indoor office work.

Explanation
The second deck on head on page four of the Kansan for January 27 somehow got transferred from an article concerning the Senior play. The head reads: "In spite of adverse circumstances several manuscripts have been submitted." This applies to the Senior play contest and not to the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize essay contest.
Credits toward graduation from all specified kinds of military service will be granted by all the departments of the Ohio State University.
