INSPECTS UNIVERSITY
NUMBER 96.
Senator J. D. Joseph, Representing Legislature, With Board, Visits K. U.
IS FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
J. D. Joseph, a member of the state committee on economy and efficiency created by the last legislature, inspected the University today, in company with the Board of Administration and Chancellor Frank Strong Mr. Joseph is senator from Butler county.
Legislator Likes The Way The Institution Is Operated
"I am pleased with the way in which the University is operated," said Senator Joseph. "We realize that if any change or reform is to be made, we must have a number of the faculty, since they are on the ground all the time. Our purpose is to bring about, if possible, greater co-operation, and a closer relationship between the people who own the institutions, and those who pay the bills.
"Our activities include all branches of the state institutions and administrations--yesterday I visited the treasurer's office in Topeka.
"We are not trying to see if we can get along on less money so much as we are to see if we can't get more for our money, as we now operate.
"Personally, I fought for a larger appropriation for the University last year. I do not believe in curtailing the work of faculty members, I am in favor of eliminating some of the detail work, if any is to be eliminated, and putting more emphasis on fundamentals; I certainly am in favor of expanding the specialized work in any way."
Tomorrow Senator Joseph, accompanied by Dr. Axell of Newton and Dr. Jacob Block of Kansas City will visit Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosedale and make note of the needs of that branch of the University.

Registrar George O. Foster thinks the new plan a good one and hopes it will succeed.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Anyone who does not believe that winter finally has left us certainly did not see the cardinal and red-headed woodpecker on Indiana street yester-
day, looking over the ground with a view toward spring house cleaning.
A cup of coffee and three bottles of cream,—although it sounds as if it would be very nourishing, how many ever thought of it seriously for a steamy morning diet? Strange as it may seem, you realize that tutures the daily breakfast of a University professor at the Oread Cafe every morning.

The poets of Mt. Oread can rave over a new sign of spring which is even more noticeable and sooner effected than any of the other aspects of nature that announce the coming of the balmy days. The Laws are again decorating the steps and walks and hallways with tall, bell-shaped some busy student is crowded out into the mud he is reminded that Spring has sprung.

The inability of their men to repeat is making it hard for Coaches Hamilton and Patterson to pick the squad which will represent the University in the indoor meet this year. But few teams have played in more than one event, and as the Valley ruling limits the teams to sixteen men, the situation is a bit serious just at the present time.

ARRANGE FOR PARTY
Committees Meet and Make Plans for Second All-University Affair
Plans of a general nature for the second annual All-University Party, which will be given Saturday evening, February 26 in Robinson Gymnasium were worked out at a meeting of the arrangements and decoration committees yesterday afternoon in the office of Eustace Brown, adviser of women.
At 8:30, immediately following the Fine Arts program, the grand march will occur. Contrary to the usual custom at University social affairs the students and faculty members and the faculty members will be the guests. The receiving line will be composed of the presidents of the different schools, Mrs. Eustace Brown, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, members of the Board of Administration.
The program will start at 7:30 and the first hour of the evening will be turned over to a musical program which is being prepared by the School. The second half will be the faculty of that school as well as students will take part in this feature.
This opportunity will be taken to introduce Dean and Mrs. F. J. Kelly of the School of Education and Dean and Mrs. Harold L. Butter of the School of Education, both faculty and faculty and so they, too, will be included in the receiving line.
The presidents and secretaries of the four classes will compose the floor committee. The duties of this committee will be to direct guests to the different points of interest and to give introductions.
Following the reception and grand march a minuet dance by fifty students will be given.

“An evening of fun and entertainment for every student in the University, is what I want this party to be,” said Mrs. Brown this morning. “I hope it will be even a greater success than last year's party.”
Mrs. Brown wishes to emphasize that this party is not to be a costume affair. Only the students taking part in the minuet will be in costume.
NEW COMMITTEE AT WORK
Only Three Months Left For Collection of Senior Duds
With the close of the school year a little over three months away the senior memorial committee will again attempt to get into action and try to leave with the University some suitable gift. C. A. Randolph, president of the senior class, appointed Harold A. Mack to take the chairmanship of the committee and complete the collection of the dues of the university on behalf of the class. The vacancy on the committee was made by the withdrawal of J. M. Johnson, at the close of the fall semester.
The memorial committee has collected from the class this year about two hundred dollars. President Randolph says that during the memorial campaign started in the sophomore year twenty-nine dollars was collected. One dollar is being as many of the class members who has been arrived at yet as to what kind of a memorial is to be left by the class.

TRACKMEN SHOW CLASS
Will Make Aggies Show Big Lot of Speed For a
Victory
The Aggies are going to have to show a big lot of speed. Monday night in Manhattan if they take the indoor track meet from the Kansas men. For if Hamilton's tracksters can show the speed they put up around 100, that last hurdle the tryouts Kansas ought to have little trouble in winning.
The main part of the tryouts had been run on Monday and Tuesday. The half mile and two mile were the only events left for the Wednesday program and the results of these were very pleasing to the coaches. In fact, the closeness of the races made the crowd take notice.
Rodkey, as usual, won the half mile tryouts. He ran in great form and made good time in his event. But Fiske, a third year man, was right on Rodkey's heels and gained on the "phenom" on the last lap. His sprint was not started soon enough and Rodkey took the event by a yard. Elliott fought with Fiske all the way, and the hard-to-wait race of the afternoon was between these two men to see who should get second place. Elliott was right on Fiske's heels when he crossed the tane.
Grady, Stateler and Groene put on a classy two mile race. It was not as fast as the same event in the Normal meet but it proved to Hamilton that he had some good two laps of his life before give Teeter the race of his life next week. Groene led the first half of the distance until Stateler took the lead. But, Grady nosed ahead on the last two laps and won by a short margin. Stateler finished a good three laps and was a few yards behind "State."
On account of the ruling that allows only sixteen men to compete in an indoor conference meet, the coaches were unable to announce the lineup for the Aggie affair. Good showings were made in all but the pygmatys but Hollinson has not been able to trim his list down to sixteen yet and for that reason he cannot announce the entries.
Robinson gym is the busiest place on the Hill these afternoons. Football, basketball, track and baseball are played in the gym at the base ball practice is held at 3 and 5 'o'clock, baseball from 1:30 to 3:30 and track practice from 4 to 6 'o'clock. Basketball practice is held at 7 but there is always a bunch of basketball shooting baskets in the afternoon.
If this splendid weather keeps up the gym will not be so crowded. Olcott and McCarty will take their crews out into the open as soon as it is possible. But the traksters will have to say indoors until the Missouri-Kansas meet in Convention Hall.
After numerous reports had reached the K. U. training quarters in regard to Niedorp, Missouri star, the final report comes now that he is in school and will be in good shape for the Missouri-Kansas meet. He was out of school during the first semester and reports had it that he would not return soon but he could not stay away. He had better be in good shape for the Convention Hall meet. A word to the wise should be sufficient.
Quite a few freshmen are getting in shape for the K. C. A. meet Feb. 26. Hamilton has promised to take a number of freshmen to the meet, and some of them unattached in any of the open races. Many of the first year men are using this as an opportunity to get some experience as well as a chance to attend the collection of arts that adorns the K. C. A. % sky that night.
Kansas athletes may not cuss but they sure make a noise when they try to manipulate one of those who have suffered after a hard workout in the gym.
Thursday—Fair tonight and Friday, somewhat cooler tonight.

CIRCULARS INCREASE
CHAPEL, ATTENDANCE
As a result of the distribution of chapel circulars the attendance in chapel increased to over a hundred Tuesday morning and Weekend attendance still will larger increase. The circulars were sent out to find out what the sentiment was among the students regarding chapel service—whether they wanted a service at chapel or whether they would attend, and just what they thought about it. Out of the first 8 returns, 4 were for chapel 5 days out of the week, two were indefinite, 1 was for the first day, 2 was not but is at the present able to. However, the great mass of returns have not yet come in.
BIG PAY FOR MILITIA
Bill in Congress Would Substitute the N. G. for the Continental Army
"Self-supporting men who are enrolled in the University will have a chance to earn a few extra dollars, if the House Prepared Budget, which is now being framed in Congress is passed," said Capt. F. E. Jones of Company M of the Kansas National Guards.
The House Preparedness Bill provides for the taking over of the National Guard by the federal government, and as a result of the change of control the members of the guards will get much higher pay for the drilling that they have heretofore provided. The Drill Corps will about a dollar for each night's drill and the members of higher rank will receive relatively higher pay.
the obvious outcome of this system, which will take the place of a continental arm," explained Captain Jones, "will be the increasing of the militia and the betterment of the army. In effect, the bill will probably be effective July 1. The enlistment into the guards will still be voluntary."
Lieutenant E. M. Briggs, of the University company, thinks that the men who have been almost patriotic enough to join the guards will do so when they are offered pecuniary reimbursement for their time. That is why he feels that army cannot be built on patriotism alone, and, as he puts it, "pay will be the cement in the sand foundation of military organization."
WANTS STUDENT OPINION
A committee to investigate the sentiment regarding a permanent student book exchange was appointed by the university at 11 o'clock. Student Counseling at Fraser, The committee will report at the next meeting when some definite action will be taken in this matter.
