AND THERE WE ARE
NUMBER 87.
University Senate Divided Between Petition of Men and That of Women
THEREON THEY HANG
Meeting is Proposed of Men and Women to Settle Difficulty
That the University Senate in its meeting Tuesday night did not ignore the wishes of the students in regard to the dance question, is the assertion of several of the Senate members yesterday. The reason given for the silence of the senate is that the members were at a loss for an answer to the students, and so remained quiet.
Tt divided opinion of the men and women puzzled the senate. Professor Hodder who has greatly interested in the mid-night rule explained the feeling of the senate this morning.
"The students handed us two separate resolutions and asked us to vote upon them. The women ask for a one o'clock rule, the men for one o'clock rule with formal parties excepted. Now how are we to know what the student body wanted? We could not accept it, so we be fair to the women. On the other hand, the women cannot be considered alone. So there we are. If the students will agree on what they want, the senate will be only too glad to act with them. But as the matter stands, there seems to be nothing new to continue, with dances closing at twelve until the students agree on what they want. My advice, and the advise of most of the senate, is for the student body to get together, come to a definite understanding, and then they will very gladly set upon the resolution they offer us and will very probably give them what they ask."
Women's Rule Popular
According to members of the faculty, the women's rule would have been adopted by the senate had it not been accompanied by the men's rule. Should the students ask for a general one o'clock closing rule, the senate probably would have approved it. The rule is offered by the men, asking for a one o'clock rule with a two o'clock closing for formals, did not gain favor with the senate, as it is in direct opposition to the rule as passed by the senate.
It is probable that there will be a general meeting of men and women where an agreement will be made, followed by listen and consider any opinion that comes from the student body as a whole. It objects, however, to being asked decide between the mens and women's resolutions as they now stand.
SHOWING. TO BIG CROWDS
"Battle Cry of Peace" Played the Same as in Kansas City
The Varsity Theatre, which is exhibiting the Hudson Maxim "Battle Cry of Peace" for the last time tonight, is doing all possible to reproduce the play as it was given at the Willis Wood theatre in Kansas City. L. J. Scott, who was a student in the Law School in 1911, has been working on the local manure putting on the moving picture production.
The Girls' Glee Club from the Lawrence High School has been singing patriotic songs during the evening and R. E. Gaffney, a member of the Kanza fraternity sings "America, I Love You." A special orchestra also plays during the showing of the pictures.
Mr. Scott says that several scenes not shown at the Willis Wood Theatre because of the strong features are being shown in Lawrence.
Lawrence is the first Kansas town permitted to have the pictures. The pictures have been showing to large crowds each night.
Recommended For Masters Degree
At a meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School Saturday, the following candidates were recommended for the degree of the Master of Arts: Remington Kellegg, Alvin P. Cummins and J. C. Anderson, Mr. Kolkage received his M.A. degree of University last year. Mr. Cummis did his undergraduate work at Southwestern College, and Mr. Anderson in Union College, Nebraska.
These recommendations await the final action of the Board of Adminis-
The Committee also elected two fellows to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of W. H. Foster and Mary E. Parker, but these will not be published, until after appointment by the Board of Administration.
BE IN FRIDAY
SENIOR PICTURES MUST
BE IN FRIDAY
According to Ross Busenbark, manager of the Annual, all seniors must have their pictures in by February 5. A few have not come in for special time for these people to have their sittings before the closing date.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 4, 1916
SENIOR PICTURES MUST
"The importance of these pictures can hardly be overestimated," statec Busenbark, "either from the standpoint of the book or the individual. The pleasures which will come from looking over the Jayhawker in after years depend upon the pictures to a great extent."
LID IS COMING DOWN
All Parties Must Report to Mrs. Brown 3 Days Ahead
Article II. Section I. All dancing parties must be properly chaperoned and the names of the chaperones given to the student interest student interests not later than three days before the party.
The lid is going to come down—and tight down tight. The days of leniency are past. Hereafter, the above rule, which requires the sanction of Mrs. Brown at least three days before any party will be given, will be complied with or the dilatory ones must suffer the consequences.
Though is was not generally known at the time, K. U. society came very near to be deprived of what he would have wanted when he was given at Ecke's Hall last Friday night. The failure of Ed Tanner, chairman of the student council's social committee, to schedule the dance three days ahead of time as usual easily have warranted Mrs. Brown in refusing to sanction the affair. Mrs. Brown permitted the舞 to be given, however, and contented herself with this time, with calling attention of the delishers to their neglect.
Since the issuance of the student directories, Mrs. Brown has been lenient with the organizations because part of the rule governing the admission to these directories. But the official announcement is given now that the rule will be strictly applied in the future. Since the Daily Kansan is the official organ of the University the present notice is issued to all students this time on no one will be excused because of ignorance of the law. However, Mrs. Brown will supplement this announcement with a leaflet containing all the rules. This leaflet was sent to the president of all organizations as soon as practicable.
Mrs. Brown also cautions all students from arranging for dances with young performers.
"The regulations require that all dances must be scheduled with me three days ahead of the date on which the dance is to be given," she said. "The dancer has been mistakenly interpreted to mean the 'third day' before the dance; instead of 'three days' before. Hereafter, I want it understood that the 'three days' interpretation is the correct one, and the one which will be used. "That is," she continued, "if the舞 is to be given on Friday night, it must be scheduled with not more than two dancers if the affair is to be given Saturday night, it must be scheduled not later than Wednesday."
"As a means of complying with the ruling with the least possible trouble, I suggest that after an organization giving a dance has rented the hall for a certain date, they immediately schedule the dance with me before other arrangements are made."
Grades To Be Given Out Monday
At eight-thirty Monday morning,
students will be lined up at the
Registrar's office, anxiously awaiting
the answer, how many or how many threes they got in last
semester's work.
Then with a smile, Mrs. Brow,
took the opportunity to give the re-
porter a little instruction in arith-
metric. "An easy way to compute
the time limit," she said, "is to sub-
tract three from the date on which
the program will run." That data
be the last day on which a dancer
may be scheduled.
"All the grades will be in by Monday," said Miss Emily Swick this morning. "Some are in now, but no student wants to stand in line for half an hour or more and get only one grade."
"We shall adhere stricly to this ruling in the future, and I shall have to make an object lesson of the next failure to comply with it.
Albert Randolph, president of the senior class, is confined to his room this week with an attack of tonsillitis. He is unable to attend classes next week.
Grades To Be Given Out Monday
WASHINGTON ON DECK ONLY DATES ADMITTED
Pickers Will Fight Hard to Get Jawhawk Feathers to Carry Home
Tired from two strenuous games with the Agries, the Washington University basketball five arrived in Lawrence this morning for two games and tomorrow. The games at Manhattan were decided defeats for the Pikers and they want to win one or two from Kansas to make their trip at least partly successful. What will not be determined until tonight.
The first game against the Aggeri resulted in a 45 to 13 victory for the Merner men. This was a much larger score than either—of the Aggeri-K. U. games. Thus by comparative figures Kansas has the edge over Houston, and ended with a closer score that the first, 36 to 17. The second was much faster that the game of Wednesday night and showed the Washington team-work to better advantage. The Pikers do not show enough speed to give Kansas cause for worry; and if the Jayhawkers are going in the pace Hamilton believes, they should have trouble in coping a couple from the St. Louis, Arkansas, or the St. Louis, Arkansas, men starched who played the best against Kansas two weeks ago. Busick showed up especially well for the visitors.
Games May Be Close
Considering these things alone the game between the two teams one of the Kansas team plays as it did early in the season. Hamilton says, however, that the men have learned how to play basketball since their school began. Agnieszka and that the Kansas playing will not be careless and ragged, as it was two weeks ago. The whole team seems to have "found" themselves, and are showing a much more athletic side of basketball and essentially of team work.
No indications of a change in the line-up would be given by the coaches yesterday. They said that they do not know who will start the game tonight or tomorrow, but that they did not get several new men will get into the battle before it was over. The showing of the scrubs against the Polytechnic School of Kansas City Saturday night was pleasing to the scrum mayHaiti and some of the scrubs can a shot at the Pikers tonight.
Dpe for Missouri Games
These two games will furnish the best line on Missouri that the Kansas rosters will be able to get before the team leaves for Columbia Wednesday.
Missouri defeated the Washington five in two games on the Louisius roster rather large scores. The probabilities so far favor a strong game between Missouri and Kansas; but if the Crimson and Blue five can hit their stride in these games, Kansas will also have a chance to figure in the dope with the Tigers.
Hamilton MacDougall Pleased With Recital Rendered in His Honor
FINE ARTS ARE PRAISED
There was more glee club and chorus musique than usual, a fact that added great interest to the program. The solos were all well rendered and the orchestra was appreciated by the audience. The chorus closed the program with the Priest's March from 'Athalie' by Mendelson. Considering the fact that the chorus had only one rehearsal they did very well last night. The chorus was due to the many operas performed on the program than any other one thing.
The complimentary recital given last night by the School of Fine Arts for Hamilton MacDougall was conceded the best recital of the year in unusual large crowd present and was viewed very highly by Mr MacDougall.
THIRD MERCHANT'S SHORT
COURSE BEGINS MONDAY
Hamilton MacDougal is dean of Music at Wellesley College, and is visiting the larger western colleges to study their methods of teaching music. Mr. McDougal said that he came to the University of Kansas first because it was the most typical of the western colleges. He thinks the most respectful college of the many respects, as neither high school credit for music, nor extension work in music has been used to any extent in the eastern schools.
The third Merchants' Short Course held at the University under the direction of the extension department begins next Monday. Over 300 merchant students attended last summer's attendance, and is predicted for this year by F. R. Hamilton, director of the University Extension Department.
Students Without Escorts May Not be Admitted to Girls' Basket Ball Tournament
If the probable plans of Manager W. O. Hamilton are carried out more man will not be permitted to witness the girls' basketball series that is to be played at the University March 17 game. The audiences are to be very select.
"Mere man" is to apply to all enthusiasts of the basketball sport that have not the passport of a woman escort. During the past tournaments criticism has been brought upon the directors of the tournament for permitting mixed audiences to withes the girls' games.
Coach Hamilton is planning on taking the girls' tournament from Robinson Gymnasium to one of the down courts, which are the Manual or City Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Both of these courts afford small space for audiences and will at the same time afford reasons for perseverance in the audience to appear around the court.
Because of the large number of high school teams that expect to enter the spring basketball tournament, Manager Hamilton found it necessary to make other arrangements for some of the teams and the plan of taking the girls' teams out of the gymnasium entirely will probably be arrived at.
Dean Does Not Favor Resolutions Minimizing Importance of Final Exams
BAKER STUDENTS WRONG
Dean Olin Templin of the college does not look with favor upon the resolutions which the students of Baker University have submitted to their faculty to aid them in their resolve to create a sentiment for entire abolishment of all forms of cheating and cheating in examinations.
The suggestions made to the faculty emphasised the importance of daily work, and the making of a series of periodical examinations. They further included recommendations that catch questions should be eliminated, that daily work should be performed with one third towards the term grade.
"As I understand this," said Dean Templem, "it is a request by the students that the faculty meet them half way on the proposition in order to help make them honest. I do not believe that the honor system ought to be coupled with any such changes by the faculty.
"As for the suggestions they virtually ask that all of the real tests be abolished. It is natural for us all to want to avoid the real tests in life and I even find that that is the case with myself, and as regards the so-called catch questions I was asked in the middle of think questions that I could answer were the catch questions. I suppose that it is the same way with others and I would not favor doing away with such tests. When a student gets out in the world he will find that he has these trials coming up on every hand and there is no reason why he should not have a few here in school. The sentiment of honor to try to succeed right, but it should not be made identical with the suggestions as made in these resolutions."
"The rest room for women in Fraser Hall is over-crowded, over-heated, poorly lighted and poorly ventilated," said Dr. Ida A. Hydle of the departing hospital. "We present aorter today. "It is obvious that this condition should be remedied, and that the ventilation in particular should receive attention. The last time I visited, all three children crowded into that small space. It was intolerably hot and close."
When Chancellor Strong was seen later and asked to comment on Dr. Hyde's statement, he pointed out that the same condition, previews in most of the buildings. "The condition existing in the rest room is no longer in use in other buildings on the campus" with the exec of the Administration - Building home of the University buildings have a modern ventilating system."
VENTILATION OF WOMEN'S
REST ROOM WRETCHED
"The best place for the young ladies to get fresh air," said Dean Templemi with a smile, "is out of doors. There is nothing that could rest them more comfortable than an sun and Kansas wind. We have plenty of both, and just now the coasting and slating are unexcelled. Yes, I feel sure that that would be the best position for us to work on our of our young women who find poor ventilation bad for them."
There's always a plain tale to be gleaned from the Law building.
DATE RULE OFF TUESDAY
FOR VARSITY THEATRE
The mid-week date rule will be suspended Tuesday February 8 for the play "Double Trouble" to be the play that "Hamlet" benefits the benefit of the Student Council.
The council has completed the payment of the old Student Union debit at the sacrifice of the balance in the treasury and has secured the Variity for next Tuesday in an effort to start a new bank account.
Leland Thompson, president of the council, hints that the money will be used for a very good purpose in the near future. A portion of the afternoon receipts at the Varsity will also go to the council.
CAN ENROLL SATURDAY
Faculty Advisers Will Wait Upon Late Students and Arrange Their Classes
Students in the College who failed to enroll at the regular time on Monday or who desire to make changes in their courses will be given a chance to arrange their work Saturday between classes. Other times will be considered. That is the edict from the Dean's office.
According to the ruling of the Board of Administration a fee of one dollar will be assessed all who give their consent to those who must change their courses of study. Dean Templin said this morning that no changes in courses would be considered unless absolutely necessary. Students may no longer report with the signed cards to the Dean's office for enrollment.
The following members of the faculty will be in their offices Saturday between 9 and 12 o'clock to advise students.

NEW FRENCH INSTRUCTOR
Peter Applebloom Comes to University of Kansas as Assistant Professor
It is Peter Applebloom, if you wish to speak to him in English or Peter Applebloom if you are one of his countrymen, but under no consideration must you get your German balled up and call the new French instructor Mr. Apple Tree. Mr. Applebloom has just been elected to supercede I. L. Lillehie, who had resigned as instructor in the dorm room where he was doing department center Chicago University. Professor Applebloom has been graduate work in the college during the past semester.
Mr. Applebloom is a large, broad shouldered man of about 35 years of age. He has a most pleasing personality and intelligence. He says that the more he speaks English the harder he finds the "th" combination. The new French instructor to whom the students have been taught has an unusually interesting career.
For eight years he was an officer in the Dutch navy and during this time traveled extensively spending three years in the Indies. The last three years while in the Navy he devoted to study and teaching. He then left the navy and studied in Berlin, and later went to Paris where he studied law. His foregoing coming to the United States, he was instructor in the Westport high school, Kansas City, Mo., before coming to the University.
Many people who have followed the Kansas City Star are already familiar with this man through the series of feature stories published about the adventures of Peter Applebloom.
Wants Book Case for Rest Room
Dr. Ida A. Hyde of the department of Physiology says that she some books she is holding on recreation which is willing to teach Women's Rest Room in Frascon as soon as a book case can be obtained to put them in. It is the hope of those in charge that others who have books on physical education will see an away will place them there, for the room is always crowded and plenty of good reading matter would be very much appreciated by the women who use the rooms. "I wish it were easier for someone to take up the matter of a book-case for this purpose."

CAN COAST ON LINKS
Manager Hamilton and Superintendent Shea Prepare a Slide for K. U. Enthusiasts
BIG TOBOGGAN NEXT YEAR
Are Planning a Cement Slide to be Flooded for Coasters
"Coasting for everybody minus the risk," said Coach W. O. Hamilton this morning. "Mr. Shea and I went out to work carefully yesterday and instead of moving the fence as was first proposed found there is a much better way, which will mean a longer time and reduce the risks nine per cent.
"A bridge twelve feet wide will be put across the ditch south of the tennis courts. This will mean that the bobs starting from the highest point on the hill will have a straight run until the end of the court is degrees will be held at this point and then the sled can continue down Alabama to the river if going fast enough."
Red lights will burn at night on each side of the bridge. The man in control of the bob should steer between them. A red light will also be placed on the post at the end of the court showing the turn.
"Next year there is a plan on foot to build cement runways which can be flooded" said Coach Hamilton. "It is to be a real toboggan course for children and the plan goes through. This will help them go for western colleges, if it is established. They have toboggan runs in the east and there is no reason why we cannot have one here. Toboganning is a sport every one can enjoy, but than any tonic and is strenuous exercise. We have a physical exercise. I intend to do all I can to forward the establishment of this slide and make it a success."
EXCHANGE PAYING OUT
College Students Are Using Student Council Plan to Save Money on Books
The book exchange as carried on by Neil Ireland for the Men's Student Council is proving a success both for the Council and for the convenience it renders the students. Beginning with the exchange from the book of books began, a committee hand has been made upon those in charge of the stalls in Fraser for books.
During the first day the exchange took in about $175 and Wednesday $100. By noon today the exchange had done about thirty dollars worth of business. The calls have come almost exclusively from College students. The calls have come from the medic, engineering and law academies but books have not been brought in by these students so that the demand can be satisfied.
The exchange will begin to pay out money for books sold tomorrow afternoon and continue Saturday between 9 and 12:15 in the morning and 1:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. Books will also be sold Monday.
A number of classics which will not be used until later in the semester have been brought in but not sold. The students would be able to save money by learning from their instructors what classics in English, French, German or needed later and buy them while the exchange is in operation.
Those books which are receiving a late demand but are not on the exchange.
Beard's American Government, Parker and Haswell's Law, Dunker' History and Theory of Banking, Blackman's Sociology, Vauss German Opinion's Psychology, Opperman's Planta, Pinker's Modern Banking.
Now that the Owls are assured that there will be no ground-hog prints they have called a meeting for Sunday afternoon. The janitors, faculty, men and women students might well expect a few boots from the one that "knows all, sees all, and boots all."
