NEW MEDIC PLANS?
School Has Special Meeting to Consider and Discuss Separate Constitution
FAVOR PROPOSED ACTION
Several Instructors at Rosedale
Get No Pay
A separate constitution, conforming in all requirements to that of the University, was the subject of the special meeting of the Medical School in Chancellor Strong's office late yesterday afternoon. It was found that the present constitution as adopted by the University was not large enough to meet the proposed Medicine. Although no action was taken on the matter the proposed new plan was regarded favorably by all who were present.
The chief argument for this suggested constitution is that the School of Medicine is divided into two distinct branches—the school here and that at Rosedale. Several of the information provided in getting paid for their work and the plan embraces a petition to place only salaried men there.
SUGGEST HEALTH OFFICER SCHOOL A one year school for Health officers was suggested by Samuel J. Crumbine, Dean of the school at Rosedale, but no action was taken on this matter. The school plans to submit a plan submitted to Chancellor Strong, is in co-operation with the State Board of Health.
SUGGEST HEALTH OFFICER SCHOOL
It offers a year's instruction in eleven months, of such a practical nature as to train candidates in a most acceptable way for the degree of diploma of public health, so that they may act as trained health officers for city, county or state. Water and sewage problems in Lawrence, with numerous tests and experiments, will be answered by an exhaustive study of ground water supplies will come next, followed by practice in purifying streams and rivers.
During October the subject of pure food and drugs will be taken up and a complete report will be made up at the Health Council to take into account hygiene, the study of contagious diseases and their prevention is another phase of the work that is to be done.
POLYTECHNICS TO GET CREDIT
As a final test of his ability the student will be required to do work in the office of the Secretary of the State Board of Health in Topeka. He will act as assistant in reviewing and solving complex problems relating to public health and well-reviewing and solving complex problems related to public health topics; he must be able to write press notices or reports on public health topics, and give illustrated lectures. This work will be concluded by a thesis covering some phase of the public health work accomplished during the year. Completion in such a course will enable students, who pass a satisfactory grade to present themselves for an exam, that the usual commencement period.
Students coming to the University from the Kansas City Polytechnic Institute will hereafter receive credit for courses offered here and sophomore years in the Institute provided the work corresponds to the course offered here. This ruling was made at the meeting of the University Senate yesterday after noon.

Some More "Woman Stuff"
Send the Daily Kansan home.
NUMBER 129
Margaret Carr, who is taking kindergarten work at the Kansas State Normal, spent yesterday with Laurel Cory, '16 Education. Miss Carr is a former student of the University. She will spend the remainder of the semester's vacation at her home in Leavenworth.
Two representatives are chosen from each class at the class elections to be held Monday, April 10. All petitions for class representatives must be written in black with the names of twenty-five of the members of the class which the candidate represents and twenty-five upper classmen.
THIRTEEN GO AFTER LEWIS.PRIZE MONEY
Thirteen outlines, the largest number ever handed in for the Hattie Lewis prize essay, were turned in Monday by prospective competitors for the prize when the time for submitting the plans was up.
"This is more than have ever sent in any previous year," said Prof. R. O. L'Oleary, chairman of the committee. "One year we had ten essays but the number has never run over that."
It is merely the plans of the essays, that are handed in at this time. The essays are not due for several weeks yet.
LAWS ARE ON A STRIKE
"Are you an honest man?" asked Uncle Jimmy, when inquiry was made regarding the size of his class this morning. "Well, then I'll be honest with you. None were expected, absolutely none, but here comes one and I am going to keep him after the whistle blows.
"Only one candidate has come out for each office of the W. S. G. A." said Maureen McKernan, this morning, in regard to the election which is to be held tomorrow, Thursday 6, in Fraser. He will be held as an observance of formality.
A brooding, heavy, portentous silence reigned between classes around Green Hall this morning. The usually obedient and doole disciples of Blackstone were actually disbeeying a Senate ruling. Overcome with the weariness before, the Laws slumbered profoundly through the morning whistles.
WOMEN PASS UP W. S. G. A.
CANDIDACIES FOR STUDIES
Faculty Came to Class But Had No Students
The candidates who have petitioned are: Mona Clara Huffman, president; Myrtle Crose, vice-president, from the Fine Arts department; and Elizabeth Staley, professor of Business College; Hazel Carson, secretary; and Katherine Reding, treasurer.
Yes, the faculty were at their desks. Heavy heartfelt disappointment was absent from their faces. "It isn't true." Dr. W. L. Burdick told his students yesterday, "that we expect you to meet classes Wednesday. We don't." And likewise other faculty members voiced their sentiments.
"If the Senate had voted to make us wear calf kilts," said a Law student this morning, "we would have been arrested. But since the Senate members are ever the defendants in a felony, they can successfully interpose a defense of insanity, citing as absolute proof the exaggeration displayed by them on this occasion."
GLEE CLUB IS ACTIVE TWO MORE CAN ENTER
Annual Spring Concert Will be Given April 13 in Fraser Hall
The Annual Spring concert of the University Glee Club will be given a week from tomorrow in Fraser Hall, announcement of Paul Saultter, manager.
"The club is working out a good repertoire of songs, and will be able to give a cracking good concert," says Sautter. "We are not expecting collections we have before, and will have a brand new collection to offer."
"The program will be made up of quartet, solo and ensemble numbers by the entire club. Although no freak numbers will be found on the program, a well balanced array of semi-class- and popular stuff will be given. The fows are hard at work and will give a good account of themselves."
The club has been asked to sing the second verse of "Crimson and the Gold" at the Trans-Continental Remium of the K. U. Alumni Saturday evening. A New York quartet, made up of K. U. alumni will sing the first verse, a San Francisco quartet the bird.
BLUSH I GENTLEMEN-
YOU CAN'T HELP IT
Some of That Old Time Stuff
Some of That Old Time Stuff
Two members of the Y. M. Financial Committee were principals in a hair-raising escape one night last week, while they were out on a still hunt for money. They stopped at a house in the 1300 block on Kentucky street, where they thought that one of their prospective victims lived.
"This is the house where he lives at, I think," said the freshman, "but it will know positively when I see the stairway."
They rather cautiously entered the house. The stairway seemed to add to the assurance of the freshie. Quietly they climbed the stairs.
The intruders fled with a precipitation that was perhaps more effectual.
A houseful of girls can laugh audibly and the ears of the two Y. M. representatives burned as the owners hot footed it up the street.
Forthwith they entered. Two scandalized young women looked up.
One of the displays in the museum that is least known to the average student is the assortment of gun and blasting powders that is in the mining museum in Haworth Hall. There are something like a hundred samples of different kinds and makes. Included in the display also are samples of various raw materials that are used in the manufacture of explosives.
"This is his room," said the freshi with certainty.
H. V. Caldwell, '15 College, visited this week at the Alpha Cipher Sigma house. He is now employed by the Central Scientific Company, of Chi-town, which sells chemical apparatus to the chemistry departments of state universities.
Miss Doris Anderson, of Omaha, Nebraska, who was a student in the university last year, is visiting at the Shiloh Baptist School. Son says she misses school this year.

Hash House league baseball games will begin this week, it was decided at a meeting of team representatives in the office of the Daily Kansan last night.
Ten teams are at present members of the league, and two more are desired to make the maximum of twelve. Applications for membership should be made at once to John Gleisser, Home or Bell telephone 297, as petitions will be considered in the order of their receipt.

Present members of the league are:
First division, Walling, Star, Nemo,
Draper, and Grady; second division,
Stoic, Oreac, Dunakin, Midway, and
Garret. Each team will play every other team in its division, and a series
between the division pennt-winners will settle the championship.
NEW MEMBERS ELECTED
W. M. Glaser, Roy Graham, Milton Baker and Riley McGregor were elected members of the commission last night, and John Gleissner was reelected chairman. The Commission is drawing up a set of rules to govern the operation of the league, which will be submitted to a general vote of the team. The games this week will be played without a tie, without ratification, owing to the inadvisibility of holding another general meeting this week.
Games will be played on the two Hamilton fields as much as practicable. The reduced membership makes this possible, and it is expected that players will attend Woodland will not be needed. Last year the league had twenty-four members, and suffered from the fact that there were too few diamonds to be run off properly. This caused the membership to stump this spring.
Charles P. Woodbury, better known to Lawrence and K. U. people as Tod, a former football star, has turned his energies to another field since leaving K. U. Westchester he was elected to the Missouri State Council on the Republican ticket.

PLAY TO FULL HOUSE
Passing Show With Its Sixty Girls and Stunts Scores
"Capacity house" tells the story of the "Passing Show" given under the auspices of the W. S. G. A. last night in Robinson Gymnasium, but the story is not complete without adding that it was pronounced by every person who attended a clever evening's entertainment.
Hit
Practically every seat on the main floor and in the balcony of the gymnasium was taken before the show started. The big hit of the evening scored in the grand "Whirlwind Chorus" by the group of this chapiteau was "The Girl on the Music Cover," sung by Marie Buchannan and illustrated by six girls who made up from illustrations on the Saturday evening Post, and through holes in a magazine, smiled out of the top of that magazine, smiled out of the audience in true magazine fashion.
The separate stintes comprising the Pi Phi Orchestra, the Chi Omega "Toys featuring six girls as wax dolls, the Kappa by Ada Dykes, the "Sextette from Africa" by the Westminster girls, the Kappa farce, "When Julius Sees had a feature dance by Heeler Topping all brought forth bursts or applause.
BAND TO GET GOLD PINS
Members of First Organization Receive Gym Credit Also
J. C. McCanles, director of the University band, says that the members who have an average of 85 per cent attendance and work this year will receive an honor.
The First K. U. Band took part in fifty-three concerts last year and were honored with several long trips to football games, free of charge. Their expenses were paid out of the K. U. Band Fund.
It has been the custom in the past to give K pins to those who turn out regularly for practice and play well in the concerts. McCanles intends that the same custom shall be foliated year, as he promised the band boy at the beginning of the school year a honorary letter for their services.
The members of the First K. U. Rand also get credit for gym work and they have received credit for gym work up until this year, but that custom has ceased.
Salome Langmade, '18 College, left Saturday for St. Francis, where she will spend two weeks doing court reporting.
SENATOR ATTACKS K. U.
Lambertson Advocates Further Application of "Economy" Method on State
DETAILS TO LEGISLATURE
We Have Society Bug; Too Many German Instructors and too Much Graduate Work
More detailed reports of the investigation of this committee will be presented before the next legislature. This commission was created for the purpose of getting some definite statistics on the standing of the educational and penal institutions of the state.
Too much society, too many instructors in the department of German and too much attention paid to the graduate work at the cost of weakening the undergraduate courses are some faults of the University, mentioned by Senate. W. P. Lambertson, of the state效应，经济 committee, created by the last legislature, in a report filed with Goterner Arthur Copper yesterday.
"Senator Lambertson's statements were intelligent, made in good faith and well worth considering. Perhaps they are worth investigating."
"The University has no cause to complain about the opinions expressed by Senator Lambertson," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning, "We welcome the visits and criticism of such men and wish that more would come, look over the University and comment on it.
IT'S THE SAME ELSEWHERE
"About the same, well. Well, it causes us lots of trouble. But it is something that is in evidence everywhere and while we wish that we did not have it so badly there seems to be no way of escaping it. We are no longer in a respect than the other universities of this kind in this part of the country."
Chancellor Strong expressed the opinion that the report of the efficiency committee will carry considerable weight with the next legislature.
The University was also mentioned in the list of institutions in line for a cut of from two to twelve "superfluous" employees.
Chancellor Strong Reviews the Early History of Law School
The School of Law banqueted at the Eldridge hotel last night, celebrating Uncle Jimmy's seventy-fourth birthday.

Whitten, toast-master, commented on the occasion and announced the first speaker of the evening, Chancellor Frank Strong told of the early history of the University, the establishing of the School of Law and showed the importance of that institution in connection with the University as a whole.
The three student speakers gave talks that spoke well for their future in the forum. John DeVine, representing the seniors covered the subject, "Senator Lore." Alton Gumbiner of the "middlers" put poetry, prose and "hep" to his speech, "Be That As Iep" by Francis A. Guy of the juniors was shorted in his handling of his topic, "Stop, Look and Listen."
Judge Henry F. Mason of the Kansas Supreme Court discussed the Case System to the evident satisfaction of the students. One of the most brilliant speeches of the evening was that on November 24 and the state" by Senator James A. Burtman Dr. William A. Burdick spoke on "The Inaccessible Goal."
Uncle Jimmy, was the last speaker. He modestly replied to the praise that had been heaped upon him and delighted every listener with his account of the first days of the School if Law.
