RAISE $25.00 ON MEMORIAI
"Twenty-five cents, please," was the cry of nine members of the sophomore memorial committee during enrollment yesterday.
Sophomores Collect From Class mates While Enrolling
Hugh T. McGiness, chairman of the committee, said this morning that he was pleased with the amount collected in the few hours. "I also feel it is now," he went on, "that we can make the $50 which had hoped to go."
Twenty-five dollars was collected and it is believed by the committee members that they failed to collect from at least fifty per cent because the sophomores forgot to bring their money with them.
The members of the committee were Charlotte Kreek, who proved the wizard of the nine by collecting from city sophomores, Winona Yeomans, Linda Anderson, F. L. Feierabend, Lind Anderson, F. L. Feierabend, Fred Pausch, and Marion Joseph.

J. D. Bowersock Recalls Years When Politics Was King in "Bleeding Kansas"
"Few of you younger men will recall the old Bowersock Opera House, as it was known, and few of you, can know the importance of such a hall to the life of the early community," said Mr. J. D. Bowersock, when asked by a Kansan reporter for a story of the old opera house.

"To begin historically, the old building which stood in the place now occupied by the theater, was built for a meat market with a 'hall' above by Samuel Edwin Poole in 1869. The hall, known as Liberty Hall, was very popular for political and social gatherings; and because it was on the secrerity it soon won over its out one-competition team. It was situated on the third floor of the building just south of the Eldridge House.
"The old Liberty hall probably saw some stirring times," said the reporter
In 1882 I bought the old building, and added two, more stories, remodeling the whole for use as an opera house. In 1906, the copy of the opera house was used for a post office until the new federal building was finished in 1906. After the Lawrence Journal made its home on the ground floor, the building was dog- troyed by fire in 1911.
SAW STIRRING TIME
Mr. Bowersock's eyes flashed, and he bound forward in his chair. "Stirling," is the word, "he said with a vigor, but the words were few more interesting spots in Lawrence. In the formative days of Kansas, it was the scene of many a blazing war and feeling and blazed up with a curry of eration of Kansans have seen little of.
It was here that Anna Dickinson uttered those fiery ambition speeches that incited him to fight for the cause of the war. He would have spoken also spoke here; and Horace Goss had when he came to the bloody land of Kansas. General Sickles, who recently died in New York, talked in the Civil War. The poor general lived in his own good, but then he was a man of spirit and 'mental ability and had carried himself well during the war. He remember that when he became president still causing him trouble, and he covered his address sitting in his chair.
Robert J. Burdette lectured in the old hall, and John J. Ingalls made a political speech there. So did F. C. Pumroy or "Old Beans," whom theigrant Aid Society had sent out in 1852 to unite them in "Dry 60," later Dudley C. Haines launched his political career in that historic room. Then there were scores of other political meetings, at which there was no leader of note, but in which the Kansas men and women argued for great political issues, which likened most of those who debated them so earnestly, have died long since.
"But the existence of Liberty Hall had its lighter side. The men and women of that day could turn from the political verities and enjoy life in an easier fashion on occasion. The Hall was a social as well as a political center. Many a theatrical star, moreover, received there a measure of the inspiration and the training that steered him to success. The Opera House was Faye Templeton and company in the days when the Gilbert and Sullivan operas were at the height of a popularity that has never since waned.
THEATRICAL CELEBRITIES CAME
"Joe Howard started here, ann Nash Walker, Hale Hamilton, Frank Wade and Eva Brown. One does not fear so much about them since the adverts have been well up in the theatrical world. We were pretty proud of the list of stars who had played here; Lotta at one time at the head of the list; James Abbott, Louis James—many others and it was a great thing for Lawrence.
"Faye Templeton, a striking brunette, small and attractive." Here Mr. Bowersock's blue eyes twinkled. "She is still living," he added. "Rather fat, and way over forty. She glistr gloria mundi,——
"There were many University productions, too,-dramatic club plays, senior class plays, and plays by the various fraternities; but we still have these latter. They are not the same, though.
HEADQUARTERS FOR FRATTS
"The fratts used to make the opera house their headquarters; before they had their own, with matrons and other businessmen, fraternities had rooms in the building—the Betas, Sigma Chis; Phi Delta, Phi Gams, and one other that I can't recall making a lease for the Phi Gam room with "Billy" Morgan who was later lieutenant-governor.
offices in the building when he was general attorney for the new Union Pacific Railroad. The late Judge Barker also had rooms there.
"The late Judge Usher, who was Lincoln's secretary of interior, had
THE NEW ORDER IS BETTER
"The they will never cease to tug at the heart-strings of those of us who had a part in it. We are all content to know that you can take the place of the old for us, it is nevertheless better and more complete. So wargs the world away—if it is ever to get anywhere."
"But all these things have no part in lot of this generation." They are part.
THE NEW ORDER IS BETTER
"This is enough for one time, isn't it?"
And with a smile, Mr. Bowersock turned away to take up the thread of his big business again.
MONTH OF MEETINGS
Y. W. C. A. Will Celebrate Dur ing February the Founding of Association
Plans are being made by the Y. W.
C. A. of the University to keep February
as a month of commemoration and
celebration of the fifth anniversary
of the founding of the national Y. W.
C. A. The Haskell and the high
school associations will be asked to
join in the meetings.
The first of a large series of events planned for the month will be a banquet held in the gymnasium, to which all members will be invited to other events will be held at intervals during the day. One Sunday will be given over to talks on the work of the Y. W. C. A. by the pastors of churches throughout the state. A jubilee will be held at the Congregational church March 1. This commemoration and celebration will be conducted throughout the entire state.
The Y. W. State C. A. was founded at the Illinois State Normal School by Lydia Brown. The group of young people who met for prayer and Bible Study grew so large that the meetings were in private rooms as had been the case. The following year the organization was named the Young Women's Christian Association, and a constitution was modeled after that of the organization. The organization grew rapidly in the 1930s of its existence and now has 721 student organizations with a membership of 65,129.
The Y. W. C. A. is not confined to college organizations, nor to the United States. Many foreign countries are allied with that of this country.
WORMS READY FOR SPRING
Canker Insects Have Started to Ascend Trees For Leaves
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology, has noticed that within the last few warm days the canker worms that caused so much damage to the elm trees of Lawrence are again becoming active. Prof. Van advises that immediate steps be taken to prevent the ascent of the trees by the spider-like damselflies who are the ones that do the damage best method of doing this is to wrap the trees with cotton batting, being careful to fill in the cracks in the bark. Over this should be put a cover of tough tar paper, firmly tied with wire. This should in turn be covered with some sticky substance, as tar, or the "Tanglefoot made especially for this insect." The surface should be renewed every few days in order to keep the surface from becoming hard and affording a foot-hold for the insects that try to climb past it.
Professor Hunter has held several telephone conversations with Professor Dean of the Agricultural College and they have agreed that it is necessary to warn be sent out at once, if a preventive campaign is to be effected.
The insects will have finished their upward course on the trees by the first week in February, if the present warm weather keeps up, and unless the trees are looked after immediately the insects will have spread to all the branches in a few days.
The board of visitors of the University of Virginia has adopted a resolution recommending the establishment of a "college for white women," co-ordinate with the College of the University of Virginia, wherein men courses of instruction equal, though similarly the same as those given in the college of the state university for men."
Over half the under-graduate body at Brown has signed a petition asking that basketball be restored as an intercollegiate sport.

Students at Baker University have made several suggestions to their faculty which K. U. undergraduates might send in to the honorable Senate moderators. The resolutions were adopted at chauel last week, they read as follows;
Baker Students Suggest Change in Exam System and Condemn Cribbing
We the students of Baker University, promise the faculty that we will be more consistent in our daily work, will be honest in all our class work, and our best to create a sentiment against all forms of cheating and cribbing.
But we believe that the only way to insure the success of this resolution is by the cooperation of faculty and students. Therefore, we ask that the faculty accept 'the following suggestions;
1. That the emphasis in grading be placed on daily work,
2. That an examination be given each month or periodically.
4. That the examination cover on12 important work emphasized in class (for the elimination of catch questions).
3. That the so-called final examination is merely the 'last period' examinations.
5. That a certain percentage of the semester grade be based upon daily work, and a certain percentage on examinations. (Proportion to be 2-3 on daily work and 1-3 on examinations.)
6. That the system of reporting time units in all departments be abolished.
7. That the quality of work in an departments be investigated and that each course in these departments be assigned a class at the beginning of each semester.
