SET MEMORIAL LIMIT
Seniors Have Until April 16 to Take Part in Gift to University
NUMBER 118
MACK WOULD POOL FUNDS
Chairman of Committee Wants Classes to Get Together
It takes time to decide on the proper
thing for a class memorial and to get it
into place.
Especially is this true of the clas of 1916.
Thus the senior memorial committee has fixed April 6 as the last day upon which you will be given an opportunity to contribute to the grand old class of '16. Upon that day the fund collecting campaign will definitely close. This is done in order to give the committee a chance to put their plans into effect and to avoid the rush and complications of commencement week.
ALL MAY SUGGEST A GIFT
The memorial committee, under the supervision of its chairman Harold Mack, sent out on March 14 a circular appeal to every senior who had not paid up to that date. It also inaugurated an entirely new method of approaching the students for money, and the college would have responded on a card. If he responds nobly when asked for his beggarly pittance he is duly credited with this honorable action. If perchance he should attempt to evade his duty this fact goes down on record against him. Any suggestions as to the nature of the memorial are also placed on these cards; no one should believe in the close of the campaign the attitude of the senior class, whether adverse or favorable, may be exactly determined.
"This is not a begging contest, says Mack. "There will be no narging nor repeated requests for money. You either do your duty or you don't. That's the idea in a nut shell. The decision rests entirely with you. A list of those refusing to support the memorial will make a Sour Owl in itself. It may be an unpleasant surprise to the public to find that those seniors who have been prominent on the Hill in politics, athletics, or social life are often the least ready to make recompense for value received."
COULD RAISE $1,000 BY POOLING
Mack advocates the pooling of the funds for the next four years. The money collected this year should be put out on interest in the hands of a trustee. At the end of this time, the contributions of the four present classes should amount to at least one thousand dollars. This amount would justify a really worth while remuneration. He says that the bank and says that a fitting recognition would be given to each class at the memorial services of 1919.
Nellie Kennedy has charge of the cards for the girls, Jerry Stillwell for the School of Engineering and Bob Smith for the School of Law.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Capper to be Guests of Honor at Sooh Hop
GOVERNOR IS COMING AFTER THE WAR--WHAT?
"GLAD TO VISIT K. U."
First Official Visit Since Election
- Students to Meet Him
Shaking hands with Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capler will be one of the pleasures afforded guests at the Soph Hop, according to a letter from the governor received Thursday by Don Davis, manager of the Hop. It is Mr. Capper's first official visit to the University since his election.
Davis wrote to Governor Capper on March 13, asking the chief executive to attend the party. His letter follows:
Dear Governor:
I know this is the thirteenth of the
letter, I'm going to write this
letter below.
Down here at the University we're going to have a big informal party called the "Soph Hop." It's to occur on April 28.
Now, you may not know it, but at every Junior Prom and other big party given at K. U, during the last three years, it's been advertised that the governor and his wife would be the guests of honor.
On behalf of the sophomore class, and in turn, the entire University, I take pleasure in inviting you to the Hop; more than that, I want to urge you seriously to come—you and Mrs. Capper.
So far as I am able to recollect he's never been on deck.
Why,hang it, governor, we haven't seen you at the University since that day last year—a year ago—when you bump a公屏 speech on the steps of Green Hall.
Whadda you say to steppin' K. U. ward on April 28? Chancy and all of us will be tickled to death to greet you.
Yours.
The governor's reply, received by
Sunday reads thus:
Dear Mr. Brennan,
Dear Mr.
Don Davis.
I was pleased to receive your letter of March 13 inviting Mrs. Capper and me to the "Soph Hop" on April 28. It is true, as you say, that we have been unable to get down to the other parties at K. U. during the past year, but it so happened that they engaged in several engagements in other parts of the city and it was impossible for me to be there. I regretted this very much.
Charles Lyons, 17, Law, has withdrawn from school because of illness.
But I find that April 28 is open am
I have put down the "Soph Hop" in
my engagement book. I do not be

With best wishes, I am,
Very respectfully,

Wants Foreign Policies Announced
G. From Cambridge University comes G. Lowes Dickinson, Eqsn., to speak to University of Kansas students Wednesday at Fraser Hall, on a subject that is engaging thinking men everywhere, "International Reconstruction After the War." He comes under the auspices of International Polity Chaps.
Professor Dickinson offers a constructive plan which, like the peace doctrine of Hamilton Holt, has for its foundation international law laid down, not by the group of men who made the present war, but by the populace under the rule of civil war, he believes, would be increased in proportion as the issues of foreign policy should be known and controlled by public opinion.

TO SERENADE OLD K. U.
Senior Women to Sing College Songs on Museum Steps Tonight
K. U. songs, national airs, and popular ragtime songs will be sung tonight by the girls of the senior class on the steps of the museum between hours of 7 and 8. The twanging of music and ukuleles by several of the girls will also add to the evening's unique and unprecedented entertainment.
The appearance of several warm and ideal spring evenings has inspired in the senior girls this novel entertainment. Miss Josephine Jaqua, secretaed to the junior class, has charge of the sing. She is fident that the senior girls' class sings which will be given this spring will create such interest in the K. U. songs and will also serve to bring the senior to the junior class into such closer companionship. This sort of entertainment will become a custom among the senior girls.
The coming monthly conventation, April 8, is to be known as "Students' Day." It will take place at the usual school and will be conducted by the students. Kenneth W. Pringle will speak on "The Ford Peace Expedition."

PHI PSIS ADOPT BABY

Unsettled and bright, Wednesday partly cloudy and cooler.
Local Fraternity Will Supply Funds to Bring Up French War Orphan
PICTURE SHOWS TABOOED
Movie Money Will go to "Little Frencher"
The Phi Psis have adopted a French baby boy, and they are to rally to his cause.
It is important this way.
150,000 FRENCH ORPHANS
It happened this way:
support, at least, until the war is over. Of course, they wont keep him here in Lawrence nor in the United States for that matter, but they have adopted him and will help them. They will choose the family from which the boy shall be taken, and they will give the boy a name that he will carry throughout life. They will keep in touch with the boy—and perhaps, side of the money spent for his regalia—that may spread themselves next Christmas to send the little fellow a treat.
After the present war had been in progress some little time it was discovered that in France the highest mortality was found in the ranks of the young professional men of that country who were just starting out to make their way in the world. The majority of these young men are still unaware that a census of the fatherless babies in France that there were 150,000, all of good families, and with insufficient means of support.
The French government rallied to the support of these babies and allowed them ten cents a day each for a meal. The government could afford, but it was hardy enough to keep the babies in the bare necessities of life. The simple apple did not inclain, and they went Apple Day without the rest they could with the ten cents a day.
ENGLISH BROUGHT THE NEWS
But there were a number of people in England who understood the circumstances, and they came to America to see what the people of this country would do for the country that helped them. They were two English women of means undertook to oversee the work free of charge, and these two have brought ten cents a day to nearly half of the cost of their meals. They are now working in Kassam's area.
Every one who contributes to the support of one of the babies has the privilege of choosing the profession of the family from which the baby is to be taken and of giving the child a name. The foster parent may take care for a girl, and keep track of it until the girl becomes an air of parental responsibility, and the assurance that the ten cents he sends, plus the ten cents allowed by the French Government will keep the baby well fed and in clothes.
WHAT TO NAME HIM?
And so the Phi Pais have adopted a baby. It was only after much discussion that it was decided to take a boy into the fold, and now the fraternity is on the point of internal dissension of the name of the baby. "Pai" they say, the name of the farm, and besides that was the name of their buddget that was stolen last summer. "Phi" sounds French, but does not sound like a name, so that is not in full favor. It is feared the Irishman in the fraternity may band its insist that the baby be given an Irish name such as O'Leary, or Connelly.
There has been some discussion of writing for rushing dates, but no definite steps have been taken in them. Leastwise they are going to begin and end with the author; he may talk some of the other adoptions in his neighborhood into coming this country for an education. The Laws, the Engineers, the Journalists, the Teachers, the Fraternity all are working hard their various schools, and whether the baby shall be chosen from the family of a lawyer, an engineer, a newspaper man is also bringing up considerable heated discussion.
But the Phi Psi isis aren't the first fraternity men who have adopted a "little Frenchier." Four fraternities at Chicago University each voted ten cents a day for the support of a French baby.
