Hangen Announces List Of 63 Senior Students For Class Committees
Thirteen Chairmen Named In Appointments of Senior President
NUMBER 64.
Alumni Committee Created
Double Checks to Be Placed On Finance Accounts By Auditors
Herman Hangen, president of the senior class, announced the senior class committees this morning. Thirteen committees composed of sixty-three members make up his list of deputies. A new committee, an alumni committee, is added to the usual list.
"This is standing committee and will remain active after the graduation of the class," said Hangen. "Its purpose is to look after the interests of students after graduation. Class sessions will be taken care of by this committee."
"The work of the finance committee has been increased to include the auditing of all the accounts of the class in which money is involved. In the past there have been claims of graft in senior committees. This year uniform receipts will be given for all money taken in, and these receipts will be checked carefully by the finance committee as well as the Registrar, and the results made public. Dances, smokes, or any other pay entertainments will be double checked by selling and taking tickets. In these ways we hope to eliminate all chance of craft."

Men's Student Council Will Publish Directory If Chancellor Approves
Plan to Give Students Three Days to Register Names and Addresses
GEO. O. Foster, registrar, thought that the plan as presented by the Student Council was a good one, but said that the Chancellor had to grant permission to the Council for the publication of the book.
"A student directory will be published this year if the Men's Student Council can obtain permission to publish it," Herschel Washington, resident of the Council said today. At the meeting of the Men's Student Council Wednesday night it was decided that the president confer with the Registrar and the Chancellor on the matter.
The plan outlined by the Men's Student Council is to have three days of registration in which all of the students of the University will have adequate time to give their names, addresses, telephone numbers, and home addresses. The lists as they are in the registrar's office, are incomplete and indefinite, and the three days of registration will give the University history, with only the names of the students now in school. Also the addresses are practically a definite thing, and this would make the book accurate.
"The Council does not plan to make money on the directory. It only realizes the necessity for such a book. This directory could be published for a nominal sum, sold at a moderate price, and give them access to everything they ever concerned in catalogue invaluable," said Mr Washington.
Hereschal Washington, was unable to obtain an audience with the Chancellor today, and no action can be taken until the Chancellor is seen regarding the matter.
Afternoon Dances Given
By Students Forbidden
Come Under Senate Ruling Prohibiting Attendance at Public Dance
Students of the University cannot attend the Saturday afternoon dances at F. A. U. Hall that are thrown open to the public, according to a decision of the Committee on Student Interests.

Moved and carried that the public dances, termed "Tea Dances," given at F. A. U. Hall on Saturday afternoons he be considered as coming under section 11, rule 2 of the Senate rules on Student Social Affairs, Section 11, rule 2 of the Senate rules on Student Social Affairs, Section 11, a quarter session of the University no student or group of students may give or attend a dancing party in Lawrence, which is thrown open to the public indiscriminately at a fixed price."

"The School of Engineering is growing steadily as the men return from camps and cantonments," said Dean George C. Shaad, today. "Men discharged from the army will be enrolled every day until February 3. After that time it would not be worth while for them to begin the work which by that time will have covered almost two quarters' work."

Popularity Contest Closes Today With 800 Jayhawkers Sold
Will Announce Winners at Popu-
larity Ball In
March
Nearly 800 "Jayhawkers" have been sold by the women who have been selling books on the campus and the two managers of the 1919 Peace Book. The large sale of books is due to the Popularity Contest which will close today said Marvin Harms, editor of the Annual. Eight girls will be chosen by popular vote from the list of fourteen candidates.
"This is the first time in many years that no graft has entered into the choosing of the 'Jayhawer Beauties'," said Lynn Hershey, business manager of the 1919 Annual. "With the personal casting of the ballot by the voter in a regular election ballot box, which is locked and will not be opened until the votes are counted by the managers and Prof. L. N. Flint, there can be no possible graft or staffing of the ballot box."
With the closing of the sales campaign, the managers will devote their time to the publication of the book, Mr. Harms, editor, said, "The inability of managers to secure adequate class list has made it very difficult to reach the students by mail, advising them of their dues, the time pictures should be in, and other information that the students has been through personal work and the columns of the Kansas.
"It is imperative that when the gloss prints are turned in at the 'Jayhawk' office, that they be accompanied by an 'honor' slip, which can be obtained at the office, and also any other printed matter to go with the gloss. The final date for all glosses to be turned in has been set as early as Monday after deadline, and no more prints will be accepted after that date.
"We admit that the Jayhawker has been delayed, but for reasons which would delay the publication of any year book. Every one who wishes his picture in the Annual, is urged to return by order to prevent any further delays."
"The winners in the Popularity Contest will not be announced until the Popularity Ball which will be given some time in March," said Lynn Hershey, today.
Go To Church Campaign Calls Students to Service
"The pastors of the various churches in Lawrence were pleased to notice the marked increase in the attendance
"There are a great many church members among the students of the University who have not yet made the acquaintance of their home church in Lawrence. Every pastor in the city describes to meet all the members of his denomination among the students and asks them if their diplwelcome is extended to those students, who profess no church affiliations." Mr. Parker said today.
Mr. Parker advises every student to make it a point to attend at least one service next Sunday. "This will be a start," he said, "and if you go once you will go again."

Council Candidates Nominated
Daily Kansan Board Elects New Members
At the meeting of the University Daily Kansan Board yesterday afternoon, Luther Hangen was elected as in-office-in-chief to succeed Helen Peffer. Harold Hall was elected news editor, Mary Samson, as Plain Tales editor, Emily Ferris, society editor, Marjorie Roby as exchange editor, and Charles Harmon as sport editor. Martin Harris was elected a member of the board.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Some of our professors speak a language that even the roughest of our rough politicians could not find fault with—if we but knew it.
The Thayer collection is being carefully guarded these days. Every night the professors take great pains to lock up the Fine Arts building so that no picture will be stolen. Last night however, five live specimens were locked up with the inanimate art exhibits. These members of the art class had stayed late and the professors on leaving locked both doors of the Fine Arts part of the Ad building. One of the women called up Professor Cahil and told him to please come up and let them out or bring some food for the caged animals. What Professor Cahil said cannot be repeated even in this column. But suffice it to say that he mentioned the infernal regions in his first reply to the startled art student at the phone.
Overheard in the Library:
Oh, well! he is right. The night the time.
Overheard in the Library:
"Say, Ray, what day is February 1?"
"Why, don't you know? February is Saturday night."
In a French class yesterday one of the recently liberated S. A. T. C. men translated the French word meaning "a midnight revel" as "reveille." Perhaps a peculiar association of ideas had something to do with this translation.
The Chi Omegas are advocating the enforcement of quiet hour rules for men's houses. After an evening spent according to Miss Corbin's rules and advice for women (almost), they are kept awake until one o'clock every night by the stringed quartet and the aspiring soloists in the Pi K. A. house.
Traitor! Propaganda! Pro-German!
A certain professor on this hill has
been receiving cards like this through
the mail:
"Herzlichen Gluckroumsch z u m
Zahre. Zabre."
On looking on the back of the card however, he found the name of Lieut. John C. Madden, a former student in the University, who is now with the 355th Infantry in Gaarburg, Germany, and who is sending his Christmas Greetings in the only language that he can.
"Yes! Honestly, Haley himself will be there. Really he is coming for sure this time. Now, if he isn't there this time, I'll feed you all."
Do you notice that now when the W. S. G. A. advertises that they are going to give a Haley party that they say it this way:
If Haley doesn't show up there will be some poor W. S. G. A. members who will be out of luck.
A Certain Spanish instructor was very much annoyed at the giggling of Dorothea Engle and Edwinna Peckham. He sweeted at them furiously but to no avail Finally he fairly screamed at them: "Now if you two can't quit laughing, get right out of here and take the door with you."
Here is another one on a professor
We hate to do this but—
A certain sorority on the hill has been causing a lot of unnecessary worry to two or three other sororities. This one organization happened to install a new chapter in some far away school. Now all the other rival sisters are wondering who their new pledge is and if it is still worth while to keep up their rushing of a certain girl.
W. A. A. To Give Sweaters
The Women's Athletic Association is planning to give sweaters to University women proficient in athletics this year for the first time in the history of the organization. Probably the sweaters will be given to women who win circles in athletic work. The proceeds of the W. A. A. dances, which have been given to the Red Cross, will be used to buy sweaters.

Train For Emergency Is Military Advice Given By Gen'l Wood
Commandant of Camp Funston Addresses University Convocation
"Next War" To Be Expected
Rhetoric Not Adequate Weapon Against Passions of Another Nation
"To keep the smallest number of men in uniform as a standing army, but to have the largest number thoroughly trained to be ready when the country calls," is the way Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood expressed his idea about keeping young men seated before a joint session of both houses of the legislature Wednesday.
The subject of the General's speech to be given at Robinson Gymnasium today is "The University and the War." It is expected he will talk on much the same theme as delivered to the Kansas legislators. General Wood said the United States should be prepared for future wars, and expressed firmly his opinion that there would be a "next war," "No one wants war," he continued. "The more a soldier sees of it the more desirous he is that there be no more war. The prediction that there will be no more wars is as old as time, but war is like a pestilence. It comes unwares and the most democratic method for a nation like ours is to be prepared. You cannot massage away by fide rhetoric the passions of nations whose methods and morals are entirely different than our own."
General Wood referred to the "fine league of nations already existing between England, France and America — not written in ink but in the blood"
This is the third time General Wood has consented to speak at the University, but he was unavailably delayed each of the other times.
