Supervised study was the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Pi Gamma Sigma, educational sorority, Thursday evening. The discussion brought out the methods used in various places for this aiding of backward children. The purpose of the plan is to give such students an difficult day's work, where indi- vidual attention. The usual plan is to have this study period come after the regular day's work, and the enrollment in the classes entirely optional. The idea is proving successful in both grade and high schools.

ORGANIZE SCHOOL SURVEY
Thirty-two Kansas Cities Enrol for School Investigation
Thirty-two of the leading representative cities of the state have written to Dean F. J. Kelley of the School of Education, signifying their intention to co-operate in the continuous school survey which is being started by the Bureau of School Service of the University.
Blanks will be mailed to these cities in a few days. These blanks will be filled out from the statistics and reports of the past school year and returned to the University where a report on the comparative standing of the different schools in the survey can be made.
It is hoped to extend this survey to all the larger schools of Kansas and in this way to standardize the school systems and to put their work on a more uniform basis. The survey will probably extend over a period of three or four years before it is completed.
The following schools have written for blanks: Ottawa, Neodesha, Caney, Abilene, Minneapolis, Arkansas City, Junction City, Clay Center, Emporia, McPheson, Wichita, Osborne, Pratt, Maryville, Kansas City, Senea, Garner, Omaha, Spokane, Winfield, Salina, Hiawatha, Fredonia, Hutchinson, Newton, Manhattan, Anthony, Holton, Fort Hays, Cherryvale, Pittsburg.
SOME ARE FOR SOME
ARE AGAINST NEW FRAT
"I am anxious to see a chapter of Sigma Delta Psi installed at the University," said Dr. Naismith this morning.
"I can see no place for such an organization," Cocham Hamm said, last minute coaches.
Each man supported his belief with sound and logical reasoning, too. Dr. Naismith is of the opinion that the organization is rathef for track athlete than man proficient in other branches of sport, but that', taken as a whole, it takes a good all round athlete to pass the membership test.
"It will create interest in the physical side of our University life and thus have a greet it constructive value," he said. "University physician this morning."
"We have too many fraternities now," said Coach Hamilton, when questioned about the new athletic order, which includes being of be to any value to us if we do get a chapter of Sigma Delta Pi installed. There is enough union, and close enough friends'ips are formed on our campus, but there are others for any other form of organization."
The fact remains, however, that tryouts will be help some time in the near future. Students who favorable a charter will be applied for. The fraternity is strictly honorary in nature, not social. Membership is only gained by passing an examination outlined in their founders, and any other University member is allowed to compete for men membership.

We hate to knock, we hate to swear
And use a cuss word that is stale;

And curse the fate, the class and all

But when the Laws blockade the steps
What else is there to do but rail

GREEKS DATE IS SET
Pan-hellenic Meet to be Held May 10—Dark-Horses Are Expected
Now that track meets are all the rage the fraternities are going to take their annual trial on the enders. The Pan-hellenian track meet has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 10, on McCook Field. The entries closed last night for the Greeks but the eligibility committee of the council must approve the list before the entrants can be announced.
An unsuccessful attempt was made last fall to hold the annual Greek meet. Manager Hamilton had requested the Pan-hellenic council to arrange the meet in the first semester so that he might be able to discover some dormant track material among the students. The conditions. A day was set but at the last minute it had to be postponed until this spring.
The dope for the fall meet favored the Sigma Chis and Phi Psis. But now the dope has changed. Since that time Treweke, Woodbury, small and O'Lceary have competed in Varsity mets and consequently will be vulnerable for the fraternity. With the varsity team fraternity out for the Varsity team it will be hard to pick a winner for Wednesday. This will leave the meet to the work of dark horses. It is possible that some new material can be discovered for the regular track sound even this late in the year.
The fraternity meet will have some features not seen in the intercollegiate meets. Three-legged race, the obstacle race and a few others will be the added attractions. These will not help the Varsity squad to any great extent but it adds to the afternoon fun for the Greeks.

Sunday Blank Cards Among Tickets
Being suspicious of "something for nothing" possibly saved one man from being turned down at the door of the Gym tomorrow. One of the blank cards on which the ticket was placed the pile. When it was given out, the victim discovered the mistake. Calmly exchanging the card for a ticket, the ticket dispenser put the blank back in the pile of tickets and prepared to victimize someone else.
