MANY SEE ART EXHIBIT
More Than 500 People Have Al ready Taken in Pictures in Ad. Building
GRIFFITH TALKS DAILY
More than 500 people have already attended the art exhibit on the third floor of the Administration Buildings, according to a statement made by Prof. W. A. Griffith this morning, and the students of the University and townpeople are showing greater interest in the work than ever before. Professor Griffith will lecture every day at 4:30 o'clock on the various pictures in the exhibit and will explain Morris and the histories of the artists.
K. U. Painter Will Lecture on Work at 4:30
Perhaps one of the most popular pictures is the painting of "Still Life-Striped Bass." by William M. Chase, a picture which received much attention last year. This painting pictures two striped bass lying in a plate behind which is a large glass bowl. The reflection in this bowl alone is subject enough for several hours of study. The image which attracts much attention and which the average person is the reflected by the average person is the reflected by the artist as he stands before his easel in his studio.
"STILL-LIFE"A FAVORITE
Mary Cassat's painting "Carres enfantine" ("The Baby's Kiss"), a picture of a mother, little daughter, and baby girl, is highly admired by some artists. It also works art, while the average person is inclined to slight it for landscapes.
K. U. ARTIST ATTRACTS ATTENTION
"Git Along Little Doggies," by Prof. W. A. Griffith comes in for its share of attention. This picture represents in suggestive outline a sheepled on the plains with his dogs and horse guarding the sheep during the dusk when they appear up all the mind of the average person all that he has ever read in novels or experienced in life of the mutual devotion of man and animal in the West.
GYM MEET WITH NORMALS
Another painting which arouses sympathy in the lover of human nature is "Stairlight Starbright," by Gladys Nelson, a K. U. artist. This picture a girl gazing at the first starlight window brings to mind rhythmic wish that everyone learned as a child. This picture recalls to one the many wishes whispered beneath the clear summer's sky of his childhood days. How fantastical and visually stimulating are these pictures. And how the child builds up glittering aircastes around them!
Jayhawker Athletes to Tumble and Wrestle With Teachers
K. U. is to have one more chance to get revenge on the Normals for having defeated the basketball team, but this time it is to be through the medium of a gym meet to be held at Emporia on March 17. Besides the regular work on apparatus, wrestling play an important part in the contest.
Two wrestlers are to be entered by each institution. In order to get the best material all of the men in the University who have any inclination in that line are wanted to try out at next Thursday afternoon, March 2.
The men, who have been practicing tumbling and apparatus work are: Nick Fast, Walter Wood, Kenneth Bell, Arthur Wickstrom, Bernard Jensen, Lewis Foster, Roy Graham, and Lindsay Dyche.
The joint affair is held at the suggestion of the Normals and is the first of its kind for Kansas. The Normals have already held two such meets this year with the Oklahoma A. and M. School of Stillwater, one at the former place and the other at Emporia. With the help of these teachers, Emporia Teachers are expected to make a fine showing when they meet the teams from Lawrence.
Gym meets are another step in the direction of making athletics general for all the students in college and they seem to be growing in favor. H. A. Lorenz, gym instructor, goes to篮球队 to play against them a week later and this week to refer a meet between the University of Oklahoma and the A. and M. School.

HAS SHE BID YOU?
Five Hundred Women Want Escorts For Leap Year Banquet-Dance
Two hundred tickets for the Banquet and Leap Year dance of the Women's Athletic Association at the gymnasium Saturday evening, March 11, have been sold and three hundred more are being printed. This is to be one of the big events of the year. It will rank on a par with the Junior Prom, the Sophomore Hop and the All-University Colonial Party.
"The whole gymnasium \ will be turned over to the women that evening," and Dr. Alice Goetz this morning in a presentation on the more congenitality and good-fellowship among the women of the University, and I don't want the girls there to dance at the evening's dances at 9 o'clock when the leap year dance begins."
The program in the banquet room will start at 6 o'clock sharp. There will be after dinner pop pals by Marjorie Hires, Missouri Valley tennis champion; Bertha Kitchle, member of the University of Wisconsin hockey team; Alexandra Carra, Ira Harold Butler and others. Feature dances will be given by the advanced aesthetic dancing class and various stunts of a humorous nature. The championship freshman and sophomore basketball game will be played at this time and the silver loving cup competition suited to the winning team, and numerals awarded to the individual players.
Those desiring to enter either the inter-sorority, inter-class or all University tennis tournament in the United States have an opportunity to sign up with partners.
At 9 o'clock the doors will be opened to the especially invited guests of the women, who will give expression to their devotion by dancing the remainder of the evening.
Tickets, including card of invitation for escort, may be obtained from all government agencies and department Government Association and at the women's gymnasium. Get your ticket immediately and invite your guests of the women on this occasion.
The professors in the different departments of the University differ on the question as to whether the seni- ters should receive a thesis before graduation. Most of the instructors in the School of Engineering hold that a thesis should be required of seniors, while the majority of the College are not of this opinion.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
ON FOURTH YEAR THEISM
Prof. L. L. Steimley, instructor in mathematics, in the College does not believe that the seniors should be compelled to hand in a thesis. He says: "A thesis should not be required of seniors; no one should be compelled but of it is not in proportion to the amount of time spent in its preparation."
Prof. Richard L. Grider, instructor in mining engineering, says: "A man never knows how little he knows until he tries to put it down on paper. He is confident that he gives him a chance to try his hand at the line. he has chosen. On account of the different texts used and the different way writers of texts see things, the student should do no work to find out things for himself."
Please be sure the carrier has missed you because he is fined 25c for your call.
Prof. Steinley believes that the students should have the right to choose whether they should prepare in thesis or not.
If you miss your paper, phone the Western Union (4521 Bell) between 7 and 8 o'clock.
CLOSES JUBILEE MONTH E.E.'S HOLD CONFERENCE
Y, W, C, A. Ends Celebration o Fiftieth Anniversary With Big Joint Meeting
Haskell and Lawrence High School Women to Assist
REV. FRANK SMITH TALKS HAVE BANQUET TONIGHT
The Jubilee Month of the Y. W. C.
A closes tonight at 8:00 o'clock,
when Rev. Frank Smith of the First
Congregational church will attend the
point meeting of the local associations at the Plymouth Congregational church. This meeting is being held in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Association.
"We are very anxious to have every woman in the University attend this meeting," said Miss Anne Gittins, secretary of the Association, "We are hoping to have it the biggest meeting of the year. I think we would be going to. Be sure to be there on time because the doors close at 8:00 o'clock.
Haskell students and the Lawrence high school girls are assisting the University women in making the evening successful. Mrs. Frank Strong, the presiding officer, will give a short talk on Grace H. Dodge, the former president of the National Association.
Fifty years ago this month the first Y, W. C. A. was organized at Boston, Massachusetts. There are now 979 local associations—city, town, student, and county—which compose the National organization in the United States. Student association work was begun in 1873 at the University of Illinois and county work began eleven years later in Johnson County, Iowa. The university is a associated unit of the World Organization which is composed of women of thirty nations and which has 785,000 members.
In 1906, the National Board, which is composed of over forty members, was organized to supervise the work of the local associations of the United States. Miss Grace H. Dodge was the first president of the Board and held that office until her death, December, 1915.
WORK OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
The officers of the University Y W, C. A, are: Stella Simmons, president of the first cabinet: Vanetta Hosford, president of the second cabinet; Mae Miller, secretary; and Grace Bell, treasurer.
Blanche Lorimer has had charge of the social service work. A story telling hour has been made possible for the youngsters of Lawrence by the work of this committee and that this feature is popular is evidenced by the fact that a large number of children are taught Bible classes at Haskell on Tuesday nights of each week. Leah Jennerson is chairman of the Haskell work. Mission Study classes have been provided by the missionary com-munities of Dains, Lauella Corry has had charge of the big sister movement this year. Other members of the cabinets are: Ruth Plowman, Mary Browne, Neva Ritter, Helen Davson, Elia Hawkins, Joseph Jaque, Lynn McNutt, Janice Mullen, Lyn McNutt, Blanche Mullen, W. S. G. A. representative and Anne Gittens, general secretary.

The session opened this morning at 10:30 with a short talk by Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering, Marshall University, and a trial and Power Department of the Westinghouse Co., spoke first on the program. He told of the increased use of electricity in the oil fields in every process from the drilling to the recharging of a gas plant. Prof. F. H. Sibley of the department of mechanical engineering spoke on "Modern Tendencies in Heat Power Engineering." This lecture on the generation of power was of interest to him, who hear more on the use of the electricity already generated, than of the generation of the power. Professor Sibley also compared the modern tendencies in heat power with those in water
R, E. A, Putnam, a senior electrical, and the last speaker of the morning, read a paper written from original research on "Power Plant Testing."

BULLDOGS BATTLE IN BECKER'S FRONT YARD
Four bulldogs met this morning at eight o'clock in Prof. Carl Becker's front yard, 1444 Indiana Street. The site had evidently been chosen for a battle royal. Two of the combatants were amateurs, names unknown. The other two were old veterans at nighting game, namely, Pi an Scoon.
After brief greetings had been exchanged, the fight was on. Pi made a pass at what remains of Scoop's left car. Scoop side-steped. The tyre and rim were roughly mixed, sending out piercing yelps. The gathering crowd were unable to tell heads from tails. As the growls gradually became less audible, a professor and a student emerged from the fascinated crowd and each grabbed the two high legs in turn. At the end with a large club beat the dogs over the heads until between the three, all four were separated.
SOLONS MEAN BUSINESS
Student Council Considers Book Exchange at Special Meeting
At a special meeting last night, the Men's Student Council discussed all phases of a permanent book exchange. Although no definite action was taken by the Council, a committee was given power to complete the book exchange and to accredit the Board of Administration for the use of a suitable room.
All of the Council members are for the idea and feel that they will have the support of the student body. They expect to handle strictly book store supplies, eliminating the customary side lines. Only student help, on commission, is necessary; they will be on a non-profit basis, the whole idea being that of co-operation. The Council expects to crystallize the plan as soon as the committee is able to furnish a report.
EXPLAINS WEATHER FLAGS
Cut This Out and You'll Know What's Coming

JAYHAWKS COME BACK
Kansas Springs a Surprise on Van Ghent and His Tigers In Last Game of Season
BOTH TEAMS FIGHT HARD
Game Was Characterized by Fine Team Work
And Kansas came back.
and Kansas. The Missouri team which ramped on the Jayhawkers with a thirty-one point margin Monday night were humbled by almost the same Jayhawkers game, but the game was a complete surprise to everyone who had heard the score of the previous night and no one was more surprised than Coach Van Ghent
The Kansas squad started fighting when the first whistle sounded and it was still fighting when the gun went off to end the affair. The crowd was with the squad and never missed an opportunity to show its fight. In that environment the squad had to fight and they fought.
the Kansas had started their fight in Monday night's game instead of waiting until the final game of the season, the record of thirteen years since the third year, the thirteen years that Missouri has played basketball with Kansas the victory Monday night was the first one the Tiger had ever won on the field. Only one other team only the fifth victory for the Tiger out of fifty-one games played. But three of these victories were registered this year which in itself is a new record.
In the first minutes of play Kansas took the lead and was never headed. Missouri was forced to play a defensive game all the time and the wonderful teamwork which played have with the Kansas quarterback. The mighty Williams, who scored 12 field goals in the first game, was covered up and had to be content with two goals. Campbell scored the only other field goal which the Tigers were able to get. But he missed the last part of the last half, but the Jayhawker guards were too much for them also.
Both teams fought hard all the way, but Kansas outclassed her opponents in all departments of the game. During the fight twenty fouls were called on Kansas which gave Wear and Wilkinson a second chance by the free throw route. Only nine fouls were called on Missouri, and Gibbens scored on five of them.
Kansas started with the same line-up which started Monday night. But this line-up did not last long, Harold Lytle, who until last night had not shown up extra well, proved to be the best team in the league. Kansas after three minutes of play and played the game of his life during the remaining thirty-seven minutes. Although making only one field goal, Kansas scored sixteen Kansas points including seven field goals. His teamwork was very good at all.
But it is hard to pick stars among the Kansas men. The crowd was praising every man on the team when the final shot ended the game. Coach John Henson and his white Coaches Van Ghent and Brewer were wondering how it all came about. But it happened and a "feed" at Brick's for both teams was the final event as the curtain went down on the regular season for both schools. The score:
