WOULD USE GOLF LINKS
Students and Faculty Want Old Sport Renewed This Spring
LITTLE EXPENSE TO PLAN
And University Would Bear Hall Cost, Says Sterling
5. . . Would use golf links $ 5 $5 $555
With a splendid golf course to waste right at our very door and with no links open to University students at present—the high fees of the Country club and the distance of the school practically bring students to the lawsuits against the club grounds—students are urging the reopening of the old Oread links for the benefit of University golfers.
The recent organization of the Lawrence Country club and the consequent decadence of the Oread club have left Oread golf enthusiasts without opportunity to enjoy their favorite pastime.
WOULD COST $300
According to estimates by Prof. M W. Sterling, formerly of the Orech club, and Doctor James Naismith, head of the department of physical education, an annual expedition would not more likely suffice to teach the Orech links in excellent condition. No new equipment would be necessary, as the Orech Club's paraphernalia, which is in Professor Sterling's possession, could be used for the building and grounds committee and all the necessary moving machines.
Grounds Superintendent Shea has already been authorized to assume half the expense of keeping the golf grounds in condition, according to Professor Sterling. That leaves only $150 to be raised by the students.
NAISMITH FAVORS PLAN
"I think the reopening of the links is a fine idea," said Doctor Naismith this morning. "You may say that I am strong for the plan. Golf is a splendid sport and should be encouraged. Personally, I do not prefer collegiate activity. Eastern schools have golf teams, why should not Kansas? I shall be glad to do anything in my power to help."
Gardner, Hite, Harsh, Willson,
Clayton Winning Favor
STERED
Professor Sterling was an enthusiastic. "Golf is one of the universal sports," he declared, "and should have a place at K.U. Contrary to an opinion entertained by some, gone an old kid's game. Throughout the year the young men are going into golf with all their might and main. They are rapidly taking the lead. I believe that if given an opportunity they will be an active interest in golf. A students' golf course would be a fine thing, in my opinion."
KANSAN GRADS RISING

Maybe He Lost the Questions
EARLY CHAPEL STAYS
No Hope of Change From 8 to 10:30 o'Clock This Year. Says Mitchell
STUDENTS OPPOSE PLAN
Vote Two to One to Discontinuce Before-breakfast Sessions
That chapel will be continued at 8 o'clock the remainder of this year, and that there is no hope of its ever being changed back to its original conclusion in U. G. Mitchell after noting the results of the students' vote on the question.
The ballot cast has been light, only about 250 votes having been turned in. Of this number fifty agreed to attend chapel at 8 o'clock if continued, and nearly 100 were against chapel at that hour.
"It may be considered as final," said Mr. Mitchell, "that chapel will not be changed back to 10:30 o'clock in any event. There was too much abuse of it at that time. Class meetings and various affairs were worn out, which caused great irritation in the third grade class. I cannot say what will be done next year, but chapel at 8:30 for the remainder of this year is assured."
"I believe that the college Greek letter fraternity is an institution that has come to stay, and that on the whole it is a good one," declares Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of men at the University of Illinois, in the opening page of his new book, "The Fraternity and the College." He is very beginning him, that he thinks are strong for the state bodies to interfere with the fraternity question because he thinks that it is an educational matter that should be left entirely in the hands of the educational institution itself.
DECLARES THAT COLLEGE
PRATERNITES WILL STAY
To the fraternity, the most valuable contribution is this: "It is only through its stance that the humanity will come into the respect that it deserves."
Would Have *Women Go on*
Prof. Frederick G. A., a lawyer of the department of women's education thinks that she would be a good plan for her women's debating team at K. U. "I have known some women's debating teams to do some excellent work," he said this morning to a reporter, "and I see no reason why it would not be possible to organize one among the women here."

OLDEST STUDENTS MOST LIKELY TO GET MEASLES
OLDEST STUDENTS MOST
That the oldest students are the most susceptible to the measles if exposed to it for the first time, is the statement given out by Miss Jessie Reed, superintendent of the University Infirmary.
"There are three cases of messes here now," she said, "but we are not allowed to give the names of those afflicted. It is true that there is an epidemic of them, although I do not think that there is much danger of its spreading We are very careful with all the men and women who come here for treatment, and we make sure that no one learns without having fully recovered."
According to Miss Redd, the freshmen are the least likely to contract the disease, and those who have had it are practically in immune.

H. S. TEAMS TO BATTLE
State Championship Will Be Settled Definitely By Combined Tournaments
BOYS AND GIRLS COMPETE
Four Hundred Players Will Come For Games
The Kansas State High School Athletic Association will hold its annual championship tournament in Robinson Gymnasium March 17 and 18 in connection with the state's intercollege tournament. This combination of basketball tournaments will bring together the best and largest group of basketball teams that has been attending games in Kansas as. Incidentally, the state championship will be settled definitely.
In other years the former tournament was held in Emporia one week before the K. U. tournament. The winner of this seldom won the title on the Robinson court which caused a disputed title for the year. Neither tournament was held as the official one and the chained one would have to play to a final. The combining of these two tournaments will settle the title in the final game of the K. U. Athletic Associations tournament next week.
At the present time only five entries have been received but that is more than had been received at this time last year. The entries do not close until Saturday night and no entry for unity teams will be to enter be in contact with of this week. With eight on a team some four hundred men and women will play in the big affair.
Yes, there are to be women here. Their games are considered as important as, if not more important than, the women's team. These teams actually competed in the tournament as compared with twenty-nine boys teams. This made a grand total of forty-five teams taking part which would constitute less than the total for the previous year.
Iola high school won the boys' division of the tournament last year without much trouble. This year practice games and the advance devo shows that they are wonders. They have a record of games won against Kansas schools in the tournament to fear the Iola sound all others.
The 'girl's' championship went to Chanute last year after being held by Sterling the year before. These two teams won eight games, but the Chanute squad won easily 30 to 17. Both of these teams will enter the tournament this year and the finals will probably be dark "orse" appears.
Loving cups are offered to the winners of the big affair. This year's collection of cups will be the best that has ever been offered. The winner is awarded while the runners-up are awarded a cup only slightly smaller than the first place award. The second place team also gets the hall with which the contestants' buttons are given to each individual and coach entered in the tournament.
Owing to the large number of teams which will come for the big double-bill attraction, Mallard and the million balloon will be the first floor of the gym while the boys will be seen constantly in action on the main basketball floor. The girls' games will be open only to spectators or women with an exit.
The usual plans of roaming students will be partly done away with this year. Manager Hamilton will help every visitor to get the best possible accommodation while he is in Lawrence but he will not guarantee it as he did last week. He will complete list of all the contestants in his office so that any student may find out who is a member of any team in which he is interested.
The games will start early Friday
on morning game. It will
until the next game Sat night.
