FAVOR PREPAREDNESS
Students Vote for the Establishment of Courses in Military Science
Science
ONLY 300 BALLOTS CAS'
K. U. Public Inclined to Disregard Question Asked
The preparedness campaign which the International Polity Club has conducted to determine student sentiments on armament for the United States has left the Club in doubt as to opinion of the students. Only three hundred ballots were cast. A heavy vote was received in military science in American universities, substantial increase in armament for the United States, and the administrative program for increasing
The result of the questions follows:
1. Do you favor compulsory mili-
lary education? Do the students in
American universities
For; Men, 120; women, 7. Tota vote, 127.
Against: Men, 136; women, 17

Against: Men, 75; women, 11. Total vote, 86.
3. Do you favor compulsory military training for the students in American schools below the universities?
Kenneth Pringle, president of the Polity Club, said this morning that the campaign had been carried on that the club might learn the sentiment of the student body, that the club might learn whether the students were considering the question of the college if the students were not considering the question that it might be brought to their attention.
Against: Men, 150; women, 16. Total vote, 166.

4. Do you favor a substantial increase in armament for the United States.
5. Are you in favor of the administration's program for increasing our funding?
Against: Men, 67; women, 12; Total vote, 79.
"I think," said Pringle, "that the result of the vote on the preparedness question shows either that the students have not considered the question and have no opinion on the matter, or else, the students are indifferent and did not give their opinion on the question."

Hopes to Establish Efficiency In Handling Appropriations
Senator W. P. Lambertson of Fairview, chairman of the State Economy and Efficiency Committee, and Secretary of Agriculture, was created by the last legislature for the purpose of investigating conditions and needs of the different state governments, and to enact the next legislature as a result of their investigations.
The committee aims to establish a comprehensive, recognized system or the handling of the affairs or our state institutions", said Senator Bob Dole. The budget which will include all the departments of our institutions. As it is now we have a score of different budgets which make a cumberton method of handling the appropriate and tend to waste and inefficiency.
"The second main point of our program, will be an effort to concentrate and correlate the work of the "different departments in our schools." The larger appropriations or smaller appropriations than the educational institutions are now getting was the opinion expressed by Senator Lambertson. The program will be aided by the committee in the next legislature.
Senator Lambertson has visited practically all of the educational, penal and charitable institutions in the state since his appointment on January 30, 2014, days at the University looking into its needs and points of efficiency.

That there is no possible chance for America to get into war with Germany from the point of view of either side, was the keynote of the speech delivered by Father Ziegentz Monday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Hall by Father Ziegentz of Gohram, Kansas. Father Ziegentz, who was a German, but is now a naturalized American citizen, has a possible point over which the interests of Germany and America could clash so as to bring about war. If America did go to war, he said that it would not be like any other interests would be much more likely to clash because of their holdings on the map. That the three million Germans in America would be the first to answer the call to arms against the other point strongly emphasized by Father Ziegentz.

All arrangements have been completed for the second All-University party and according to Mrs. Eustace Brown, she will surpass his stature as far as entertainment, music and entertainment are concerned.
"It is now up to the students to make the affair a success by coming Saturday night," she said this morning.
The University shops have been working all week on the decorations which will transform the Gymnasium into an old colonial ball-room. The committee on decorations will begin work Friday morning.
Red, white and blue are the colors which will predominate in the scheme. Flags and colored lights will be used in abundance. At each location the hat will be an illuminated picture of George and Martha Washington.
"While the decorations are alone, the same general line as those used last year, they will be much prettier time, I believe," said Mrs. Brown.
The entertainment will start promptly at 7:30. The School of Fine Arts will give a program the first part of the evening.
The next feature will be the minute dance performed by fifty students representing the different organizations and classes on the Hill. The former custom has been followed in having half fraternity and half non-fraternity students each. The pattern that has been practiced for about three weeks under the direction of Dr. Alice Goetz.

She large, dark room boldly, walked cautiously down the center aisle and spying a vacant seat on the end of a row, slid quickly into it. In a quarter of an hour the first shower was over and the mirror to her hat said meekly, "I beg pardon. Miss, but may I have my hat?"

TANGLE WITH NORMALS
Bill Hargiss Has Strong Aggregation and Hopes to Down Jayhawk
KANSAS TEAM CRIPPLED
Captain Cole and Kauder Out of
Game With Injuries
The crippled Jayhawker basket tossers will meet the Emporia Normals in Robinson gym tonight for the first time in several years. Although the Normals have a good team Coach Hamilton is not looking for much trouble in nabbing a victory. How-ever, they did not make up a percentage of their games this year and come tonight with that same id spirit, "Beat Kansas."
Two of the Kansas regulars will be on the side lines tonight. Cole injured a hand before the last Aggie series and has not been able to get into the game. He is also probably that he will not get in tonight but will be saved for the Missouri series which starts Monday night. Kauder, the latest "find at" against the Cardinals, is wounded hand in practice Monday night and will not be able to play until the Missouri series and possibly not then. No bones were broken in his left arm after the slightly causing a bad wound that will take some little time to heal.
The remainder of the squad is in good shape and will be ready to uphold the crimson and blue against the Teachers. Bill Hargiss has seen Kansas win a lot, but this time his men will be able to show Kansas a good game. He also admits that this is the best chance he has had for a number of years and maybe the last one he will have soon, so he is pointing his men to this game. He has not as good a team to work with as he has had in other years.
The game tonight sees the end of the season approaching. The two-game series with Missouri in Lawrence, Monday and Tuesday nights, will end the season. These two games will also have an important bearing on the Missouri Valley Championship and the Kansas Agile games in Manhattan Friday and Saturday nights. The original schedule called for the Aggie games to be played on Wednesday and Thursday and the games in Lawrence Friday and Saturday but this conflict with Mrs. Brown's party in the gym and the later dates were made. The teams will meet the men of Van Ghent because they will have a nice rest over Sunday after the hard Aggie games.
At the present time Nebraska claims the Valley title but Missouri is contesting the claim. Neither school has lost a Conference game and since they do not meet, the title is likely to remain contested. However, should the Kansas Aggies or K. U. defeat the Tigers the title will go to the Cowboys. The team favors a two game victory for the Manhattanists and even Coach Hamilton has high hopes for one victory over the Tigers.
The line-up for tonight will be: Gibbens and Kennedy, forwards; Uhrlaub, center; Nelson and Reber, guards.
The Phi Chi honorary medical externally announces the pledging of her service.
