Naismith Passes Out Pep Packages to Prospective Players
"Tighten up men, and pull together for the Twilight League. You can't expect to do anything without being enthusiastic over it." Such is the language that Dr. James Naismith is using in handing out individual pep packages to the summer students interested in twirling th ebail.
Dr. Naimish said yesterday evening that he was disappointed to see so few out for the practice game Saturday afternoon. "Still," he declared, "I will never play again." I have to hold the players at their places and do all the running myself."
Fourteen players have signed up as interested in the team: Evans, Farall, Maig, Studer, Thomas, Baysinger, Hite, Silleur, Lawellin, Huxman, Tibbetts, Nelson, Glikeson, and Sprout. The positions chosen by these men will fill all places on the team, the duplications are mainly infield teams.
"I am sure there will be more enthusiasm after the men get together the first time," said Dr. Naismith yesshier. "We're going to have will have the best team of the league, for the material is certainly on the Hill this summer."
TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION PROPOSES PENSION LAW
Kansas teachers will not have to wait many more years until they can get pensions. The State Teachers' Association has a committee investigating the situation in Kansas. John F. Bender, superintendent of the Pittsburg schools, is chairman of the committee and will propose a pension law at the annual meeting in Topeka next November.
The movement for teachers pensions is growing throughout the country, according to the latest reports of the Carnegie Foundation of Teaching. Since the last report, twelve states—Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington have considered establishing state pensions for public school teachers. Eight states have succeeded in the establishment of such systems, while in four—Connecticut, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Washington—the proposed systems failed to carry.
DUTCH IGNORED HERE
Only One Professor in United States Teaches Their Language
Courses in the study of the Dutch language should be established in the universities of America, according to the statement of Mr. Peter Applebloom, instructor in Romance languages.
"At the present time," says Mr. Applebloom, "there is only one professor in the United States who gives regular courses in the Dutch language. Mr. von Noppen gives such courses in Columbia University and besides this regular work he lectures before several of the eastern universities. Mr. von Noppen has been sent over to the United States by the government of the Netherlands for the express purpose of giving people here a better understanding of the language of a country which, according to Benjamin Franklin, has been our example in all things. One of Mr. von Noppen's pupils, Mr. Hamilton Vreeland, has written a life of the great Dutch lawyer, Grotius, which has attracted wide attention.
Mr. Applebloom says further, "It is a gratifying fact to notice that the United States is realizing the necessity of studying languages more and more, and the humiliating experiences of Americans traveling abroad, caused by the fact that they understand only one language, are becoming less frequent." He believes also that the present war has shown the great need for the more extensive study of languages, because of the inability of the Europeans to see each other's view point.
Some of the reasons advocated by Mr. Applebloom why Dutch should be studied more in America is the fact that Holland has produced more lawyers, painters, poets, statesmen, and admirals than any other country in the world. A study of a country so rich in all of these things, according to Mr. Applebloom, should not be ignored in the curriculum of any university which wishes to be complete in the courses which it has to offer.
C. B. Watkins, c'19, who left the College last winter to accept a position as principal of a ward school in Tulsa, Okla., is back to attend the college. He will hold the same position next year at an increased salary.

LAW BUILDING DOOMED
Eighth Wonder of the World;
a Tipsy Green
Hall
Green Hall, often called the Law Building, is not doomed to sink into oblivion but it is doomed to slide into oblivion. There is no doubt but what K. U. will son have the eighth wonder of the world, another leaning tower of Pisa, if the earth on the north side of the dignified Greciadie continues to slip away at the rate it has for the past year.
Is the Law Building sliding and sinking almost to inanity beneath the burden of quibbles and conceits and the shortage of appropriations from the legislature? No. Nature only is responsible and she has made the vehement asservation that the building must slide away, not because she is disgusted with the stories about the School of Law, that have flown around 'fast and false' but because her duty is to level the earth's surface.
Nature is working steadily and swiftly and it looks as if by the time Kansas has a woman for governor, Green Hall will have ceased to be, and no longer will the passages of highest poetic and dramatic art of Prof. Forsyth are accessible in class classes alternate with the unimpressive display of the verbal juggery of Blackstone in Uncle Jimmy Green's Real Property class.
THEY PAID IN FULL, BUT-
Dean Kelly sent out the following announcement to the members of the Summer Session faculty this morning:
June 21. 1916.
Enroll in Your Class Or Get Out
Says Dean Kelly
To Members of the Faculty of the Summer Session
The zeal and good spirit manifested by the Summer Session students are a tribute to the excellence of the work which they are getting in your classes. Your further co-operation is sought in connection with the following:
(1) The persons named below have paid their registration fees but have not enrolled for class work;
Marie Beeson
Marie Beeson
C. C. Kebi
Mattie Lewis
H. Brady Magers
W. R. Oechsli
W. R. B.Uls
From this and from reports that other students are attending classes without having even paid the fee, it appears that certain members of the faculty must be admitting persons into their classes without class cards. Will you please note that no one, whether he is expecting credit in the course or not, should be allowed in the class without a class card indicating his enrolment for the course. Charges of unfairness are inevitable unless this rule is enforced without exception.
(2) It seems well to remind everyone at this time that the class hour on Wednesday, July 19, is the time for final examinations in all courses offered in the first 6-weeks' term, and that Wednesday, August 16, is the examination day for all courses offered during the four-weeks' term. Concluding the work earlier than these dates cannot be permitted.
(3) Weekly convocation will be held each Friday morning at 11:15 for the remainder of the session. All class hours will be shortened proportionately, making the dismissal whistles as follows:
7:30 to 9:00 o'clock classes will dismiss at 8:40.
9:00 to 10:30 o'clock classes will dismiss at 9:55.
8:00 to 9:00 o'clock classes will dismiss at 8:40.
10:30 to 12:00 o'clock classes will dismiss at 11:10.
9:00 to 10:00 o clock classes
will dismiss at 9:30.
10:00 to 11:00 o clock classes
11:00 to 12:00 o'clock classes will dismiss at 11:10.
Please announce these hours to your classes Thursday, June 22, so as to avoid confusion in the Friday program. This week the exercises will be in charge of the Chancellor, and Mr. Coburn of the Coburn Players will address the students.
9:00 to 10:00 o'clock classes will dismiss at 9:30.
Very truly yours,
F. J. KELLY,
Director of the S. S.
Roy Gibson, one of the Summer Session students, has gone to Winfield to join his company which leaves for Ft. Rt. Thursley.
Miss Ann Gittens, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. went to Kansas City yesterday and had an unlooked for experience. The Kansas City troops were leaving for the front and excitement ran high.
"The sight of the long lines marching as the band played "Dixie" gave me a feeling I never had before," said Miss Gittens. "All morning the troops paraded the streets—nor were there only soldiers in the ranks—I saw weeping wives marching with their husbands and once I saw an aged father marching with his uniformed son.
FEELINGS HIGH IN K. C.

"It was inexpressibly sad to see the farewells at the station. The one joyous note was from the band, which never ceased its stirring message, but it no longer thrilled the boys. As they kissed their mothers and sweethearts good-bye, they heard the stronger cry of her mother, who ceased and as the train pulled out of the station it left behind a grief-stricken, thoughtful crowd.

Directories in Bibelot Size
Pocket-size Student Directories is the plan which Registrar Foster has in mind for the popular reference book next year. The little book will have a durable binding, and will be free.
The small size directory has been adopted in some other Universities and has proved advantageous in that its size permits its being easily carried and its compact form makes the information easier to find. It will also lessen the number of calls for information made at the Registrar's office.
