CARS RUN TOMORROW
Interurban Starts—Will Have Eighteen Trips Per Day On Schedule
72 LINCOLNS, FARE TO K. C.
Additional provision has been made for increasing the traffic on the broad and easy way that leadeth to destruc- ture. It interurban to Kansas City! My Word!
First Car Leaves at 6:20 a. m.— Last One at 12:40 a. m.
Think of it! Eighteen cars a day to Kansas City! By leaving here at 12:40 p. m. you may enjoy the matinee at the Shubert and be home at 6:20 You may leave here at 5:40 p. m., replenish your stock of jokes by an author of the three works at the Century, and be horse asleep at 1:30 a. m.
And the fare—according to the latest reports, it's to be seventy-two cents. For a round trip, that makes one hundred and forty-four Lincolnes. In fact, it costs about three things holds you up for ninety-eight cents, or one hundred and ninety-six cents per round trip. Add to this ten cents for street car fares, and it costs you two hundred and six cents. Thus you take the interurban.
It is now understood that the K. U. Anti-Cigarette League passed several resolutions condemning this Satanic devise, because it makes access too difficult, in Valley of its efforts, the "Kaw Valley Line" starts running tomorrow!
18 CHANCES PER DAY
MORE RIDE FOR YOUR MONEY
Not only is all this true but
for the 144 cents you receive three
hours and forty minutes of ride, while
for the 166 cents you get only two
hours and a half. The Interurban
makes the trip in an hour and fifty
minutes, at a rate of 2 1-4 minutes per
cent, while the steam cars run it in
two hours and four minutes for
only 2-3 of a minute for each cent
invested. What is more valuable than
Time?
WILL CROSS RIVER SOON
The first car will arrive at 6:20 a.m. and leave at 6:40, and cars will run every hour until the 1:40 a.m. m. car, the last one to K. C. There is no room for them in the starting place is over by the U.P. depot; but as soon as the bridge is strong enough to bear up under the cars in addition to the weight of the vehicle, it now carries, you may start from in front of the Bowersock Theatre.
THORPE GETS OFFER
Year
Will Probably Edit "Nation's Business" Next
Prof. Merle Thorpe of the department of journalism has received an attractive offer from the United States Chamber of Commerce to edit their official publication, The Nation's Business, at a salary of approximately twice that which he receives here.
The Chamber of Commerce is planning extensive moves in the development of foreign trade. Mr. Thorpe's work will be largely stimulated by national and state departments which are closely connected, such as the Federal Board of Trade, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the National Banks, Pan-American Bureau, etc. Mr. Thorpe will not be a stranger in Washington as he was in newspaper work there in 1905, 1906, 1907.
Mr. Thorpe is considering this offer favorably as he feels the need of change of work. He has been teaching nine years and summers, and this opening will allow him what will be his year's research work in journalism.
NUMBER 162
Mr. Thorpe plans to return to Washington and New York next Wednesday, and will pass through Lawrence June 20, enroute to California, where he will lecture at the Session of the University of california.

"SUNFLOWER" AGAIN
Willard Wattles' Book of Kansas Poems In Second Edition
Word has been received that "Sunflowers" Willard Wattles' book of Kansas Poems, is to have a second publication. The first edition was published in 1910 by poetry in and out of the state and it is upon recommendation of one of Kansas' best known writers that the book will be published the second time. Mr. Wattles has spent much time on the study of Kansas poetry from the early century days at U. has shown marked ability in the writing of poetry.
MUST MAKE ACCOUNTS
Mr. Wattles taught in the Massachusetts Agriculture College from 1011 to 1914. While in the East, and later, he has had over fifty poems published in the Springfield Republic. Nine of his poems were printed in Harper's Weekly and an equal number in the Smart Set. The American Magazine and the Christian Register also published a number of his verses. He has recently objected to the use of William Allen White, Hary-Kemp, and William H. Carruth to publish a collection of their religious poems with his own. Wattles is most interested in this phase of poetry.
In 1911 Mr. Ward sent to Watties asking him for some of his verse. One of the first of his poems to appear in the Independent was "Child". More than six other poems have appeared since in the Independent.
Mr. Wattles was encouraged by Prof. William H. Carruth, then head of the German department at the University of Kansas, to write poetry while he was a university. That was in 1906; and the year after Mr. Wattles had met Harry Kemp. He was helped in his work by Mr. Kemp. Wattles' first work appeared in the Kansas magazine, "The Prairie," and he had printed the "Prairie Wind."
In 1911, "Songs From the Hill", a collection of poems by Kansas verser writers, was printed in book form. The author of several other writers who have made good since, had selections in this book. William H. Ward, for fifty years editor of the Independent morgans, favorably reviewed this collection.

Those Who Handle Student Funds Shall Answer for Them
MAY WITHOLD DEGREES
Board of Administration to Take Definite Steps
"Drastic action on the part of the Board of Administration will be necessary unless the officers of the various organizations who handle student funds make a satisfactory report to the auditing committee of all student colleges." This statement given out by Registrar George O. Foster this morning.
SAY 'WE' will be done.
"What we will do when in regard to the accounts has not been definitely decided, but it is probable that the degrees of those who turn in unsatisfactory accounts, or no accounts at all, will be withdrawn until the definite facts concerning the handling of funds can be found out."
MAY WITHOLD DEGREES
"There is absolutely no excuse for the carelessness in the keeping of the accounts there has been this year. The organizations were all of them who had to get the books and to learn how to keep them, and they were warned through the Kansan columns and by other means that they would be brought to account at the end of the year if the business did not kept in a business like manner.
"While there is not enough evidence to prove crookedness in most cases, and there are so many accounts not written about it that nothing stands. The University of Kansas should aim to give a young man an education in honesty in business, and letting the student accounts go hand-in-hand with the carelessness in handling accounts.
"The accounts of the band, the orchestra, glee clubs, athletic association and the debating council are audited by the state auditor, so there is no chance for the juggling of funds in those organizations.
"The great trouble with students is that they fail to get definite receipts for money spent, and to give receipts for money received. Some accounts come in to us with just two figures on the books—receipts, so much, and expenditures, so much. This is not easy to see, but you must know some drastic steps will have to be taken to secure more careful handling of student funds. The treasurer of any organization should not feel that it is an intimation against his honesty to have his books audited. You may also want them as well as for the safety of others.
"Definite steps will be taken before the meeting of the board next week."

W.S.G.A.MAKES REPORT
Middy Dances and May Fete Help Fill the Coffers
YEAR HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Date Rule Changed to Longer Hours
What is the real significance of the Women's Student Government Association of the University? The aim of the Association is "to foster among women a feeling of mutual responsibility and high regard for liberty and freedom" and to "assure the hearts of living and scholarship and promise loyalty to the University."
Lawrence is divided into thirteen districts. Over each district is a chick-fil-a restaurant or a district. The purpose of the organization is to foster good fellowship among the women and have a means for them. Women may be reached easily and quickly.
Another benefit to the University is the giving of a scholarship to the most worthy women needing assistance. A scholarship is chosen by a scholarship committee composed of faculty members, appointed by the W. S. G.
Middy dances have been given several times during the year, at their expense. These were held to meet the friendly nature and friendship among the women.
The Association sent the president-elect, Mona Clare Huffman, as a delegate to Lincoln, Nebraska, to the conference of Women Student Government Associations of the Middle West, at which fifteen Universities and Colleges were represented.
A change in the date rule was made during the year, by the women of the University upon the suggestion of the Student Council. This date rule which was stricty 10:30 on all Sundays was changed to a dance, was lengthened to 11 on Friday and Saturday and decreased to 10 on Sunday.
The Association is 'composed of women taking an active interest in student life, and other student activities and are required to permit. Every woman, as soon as she enrolls in the University automatically becomes a member. The organization supports the woman, and this money helps to defray the expenses of the organization.
