THEY SMOKE NO MORE
Students Who Have Used Tobacco for Years Start Fight on Lady Nicotine
HAVE ELECTED OFFICERS
They had smoked for years. They had found the habit a bother, an expense, and an unhealthful practice. One of them mentioned that he was tired of it, another said that he also was tired of it. It developed that several of them were tired of it. That other group consisted of a mother, together, and formulated an organization. It is called the K. U. Anti-Cigarette Society.
Norman Greer Will Head the New Organization
The society as first organized consisted entirely of veteran smokers, who are going to give up the practice completely, but thinking there might be others who wished only not to smoke so much, they have organized against the cigarette in particular; some were: president, Norman Greer; vice-president, Ralph Chapman; secretary and treasurer, John A. Traver.
A meeting of the society will be held Monday, April 3, at 7:30 in room 110 Fraser. Prof. W. A. McKeeew will make an address to the meeting and as many other students as wish to become members of the organization may do so. Previous smoking is not to be a prerequisite.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 28.1916.
K. U. MEN FAIL MENTAL TEST FOR TWELVE YEAR OLDs
Are all of the men that room at the city Y. M. mental defecties? That the above is possible, one may judge that they are not able to pass the test that a normal twelve year old boy should be able to pass. The test, which is one of the Binet tests, originated by the French psychiatrist Charles de la Pointe in parts of repeating a short sentence after having heard it once. The sentence is, “In the street there is a pretty little dog. He has curly hair, short legs, and a long tail.”
The only explanation of the inability of the men to pass the test was the fact that they were all looking for the "sell," and when the sentence was brought out in good faith they failed to get the point altogether.
LAST PARTY OF YEAR

This promises to be a "Hum Dingo," as the name of the force will serve for sleeves for some and intend pull it off in great style. The name of the force has not yet been decided upon, but what's in a name anyway? James A. Butin, champion whistler of the force, will give a few numbers which will make you sit up and take notice.
TO SHOW SLIDES OF ESTES
HORSE SLIES OF ESTES
The last number in this series will be an exhibition of natural color pictures of the Rocky Mountain National Park, better knows as Estes Park. These slides will be shown by Frank W. Byerly, who is making a tour of the colleges in Kansas. These stereopian slides but they are those which bring out the natural colors of rocks, trees, and flowers.
Two of the prominent men of the state, William Allen White and A. A Hyle, president of the Mentholatum company at Wichita have spoken only of Mr. Byerley and his pictures. Mr. Byerley, with holding this proposition, I want every person as possible in the Kansas colleges to see these pictures of the beauties of Estes Park. As an entertainment of art, they are beyond comparison." Mr. White says, "I am glad Byerley is coming to Kansas, I think he is really interested in art pieces. I can help in any way to publish his pictures in the state, let me know and you can depend on me to do all you ask."
VANT A SUMMER JOB?
Are you looking for a good job for his summer?
If you are call at the office of Prof W.H. Johnson of the School of Education
A call for five or six students to do summer work has been received by Professor Johnson, but was not disclosed by Professor Johnson but the call came from Topaka and the work will be congenial with real experience; the work will be in the state of Kansas.
Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education spoke to the members of Pi Gamma Sigma at their regular meeting on Thursday, March 23, 4:30 p.m. He urged the young women to help create a broader spirit of pro-choice work. He many young women, according to Dean Kelly, look forward to teaching as their life work and never consider that they may be called upon to change their chosen course for some other path. Professor Kelly believes that, although preparing for teaching they must assume the professional attitude toward them in young woman should learn to look upon all life as a profession and to assume this attitude no matter what she may be called to do.

CLARK ACCEPTS OFFER
Manager Hamilton Receives Formal Acceptance of New Assistant Coach
KNOWS ZUPPKE'S SYSTEM
Turned Down Several Offers to Come to Kansas
The negotiations for an assistant football coach for the Jayhawker squad were closed last night when George C. Clark of the University of Illinois formally accepted the position. The job was offered Clark some time ago but no definite answer had been received from him until last night.
Followers of football who have watched Clark's record with the Illinois team have only words of praise for him. And the local fans are alright. We don't know the team which Olcott and Clark will be out next fall or, if conditions are not right then, the year after that. Every one knows the reputation of Coach Beau Olcott on the gridiron and now George Clark comes with an enviable two piece we will make a great pair for the Missouri Valley teams to look out for.
Three years of football under Zuppke, the great Illinois football mentor, is training that will prepare any man for a coaching position. And at every turn he has helped to develop the system of the great coach and will be ready to put that system in use here. Although he and Coach Olcott have never worked together, each other has been by reputation and both are pleased that they will be working together on one team.
Clark has been in touch with Manager Hamilton for the past week and all the details of the contract have been straightened out. His wire last month was not approved, but signed contract. He will take up his work at K. U. September 1.
Numerous offers were received by Clark this spring for coaching positions next fall but the Kansas one apperception was modest. The team was—modesty prevents us from stating but it might be said that Coach Olcott and Manager Hamilton looked forward to a visit. Mr. Clark will visit the University some time this spring to see the Kansas队 in spring practice, get acquainted with the members of last year's squad and discuss plans for next year. But he will remain in Illinois until the end of the school year.
HONOR UNCLE JIMMY
Laws to Banquet Next Tuesday Night—Justice Mason and Senator Troutman to Speak
Justice Henry F. Mason of the Kansas Supreme Court and James A. Troutman, state senator from Shawnee county and newly appointed memphis will be the out-of-town speakers at the annual Law School banquet which will be held next Tuesday night at the Eldridge hotel on the eve of the seventy-fourth birthday of "Uncle Jim Green," dean of the School of Law.
It will be the twelfth annual celebration for the law students. The festivities will be continued the next year with an improvised holiday. Because of the national Senate last year prohibiting a holiday by the different schools of the University, the laws will take the responsibility themselves of cutting their ties on Wednesday in order that Uncle Jimmy day may be observed properly.
Lester Hannawal, of Jewell, was in Lawrence from Friday to Monday visiting the Jewell men here. Mr. Hanawal has just begun a course at Manhattan and is of course partial to that school, but he said that he liked K. U. very well. Jewell has a large number of men in the Uni- tion and has more than done her share of appearances at students to the short courses of the two sta- schools.
Other speakers will be Chancellor Frank Strong, himself a lawyer, Dean Green, and W. L. Burdick of the law Written of Wellington will be treated. The subject of Justice Mason's address will be "The Case System."
Pete Small, a student in the Agricultural College at Manhattan, visited Edith Banks Saturday and Sunday and attended the Sigma Kappa dance given by the freshmen at Ecke's Hall, Saturday night.
Practically the whole student body of the School of Law, in addition to the four members and a number of Lawrence attorneys, will attend the banquet at the Eldridge.
K. E., M. Boddington, of Kansas City, Kan., manager of the affairs, today would be John D. ReVine of Cherry, vale for the seniors, Alton Gumbiner of Lawrence for the middle class and Guy of Wakefield, for the juniors.

Miss Cora Mel Patten, lecturer and literary interpreter from Chicago, will read Percy Mackaye's play "Tomorrow" in Fraser Chapel Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. The faculty commenced her reading with Miss Patten, whose career as a reader began in 1899. Since that time she has taught with pronounced success in public, private and professional schools. In 1889 she established the Marden School of Music and Expressions, which was instituted as one of the strongest schools in the country. In 1911 she created the Junior Department of the Drama League of America, an uplift movement seeking to provide wholesome entertainment for the young. Under her leadership the settlements and playgrounds of Chicago became organized into drama clubs and placed under competent teachers.
The play "Tomorrow" stresses the idea that since man is the mastersower of the earth, the nature of man determines the sowing and harvest problems, such as labor and capital, conservation, temperance,—exist primarily in the nature of human beings. Human nature thus becomes, according to the playwright, the prime factor—a constructive future for the ace.
