Elaborate Program Arranged for Tomorrow Night's Production in the Gym
DANCES TO BE A FEATURE
Mouri Instructor and Disciple of Dr. Goetz Will Appear
An Armenian dance, in native costume, will be one of the features of the k. U. Follies, to be given in Robinson gymnasium tomorrow night at 8:15 for the benefit of the Armenian dance group. Baskets by Miss Cavalery, of the University of Missouri, an instructor in dancing who is especially proficient in the rendition of national folk dances.

The University band will play for the Follies, and the Glee Club will appear in two numbers. Lorenz's gym will be a first-rate series of tumbling stunts, one of which is a true hair-raiser, according to those who have witnessed practice. James Butin, of whistling fame, who was a pioneer in circus circuits, will appear in two solos.
Other dancing numbers, all in costume, by students of Dr. Alice Goetz, promise to be equally interesting. Helen Clark and Beryl Motte will appear in the dance workshop at Nelson, Vivian Bretterson, Dorothy Cole, and Verra Whitcher, will give the Spanish La Paloma in the costume of the Mexican senoritas. The Pierrette Pierrot, by Helen Topping and James McIntosh, will attend a university public, promises to be one of the best attractions on the program.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray's dramatic art class will give a farce, "Feed the Brute," lasting 25 minutes, which according to the promise of the director, will equal in skill of execution the much-dual "The cast" that includes Florence Dunnigan, Harold Lyle, and Ethel Dunnigan.
The date rule is suspended.
Tickets, which cost 25 and 35 cents, are on sale at the office of the registrar, and at the Round Corner drug store down town. Tags sold during enrollment may be reserved at the registrar's office. The sale has been heavy, and the committee expects a packed house.

"All sorts of business," is the way Manager Neal Ireland put it. He has stopped worrying about whether the exchange will succeed or not and has begun to wonder if he will ever get to his classes.
Student Book Exchange sales ran close to the two hundred dollar mark yesterday and business is still increasing. Good books are being sold for about half price and crowds of students are about the window constantly, buying, selling or exchanging texts.
The Exchange is shy on several texts and it is not too late to take up any of the following as many students are waiting for them to come in. "Election" (2016) is a messaging ("Tariff History," Ogen's "Psychology," and Blackman's "Sociology."
There is an over supply of the following books on hand at the Exchange: Fullerton's "Philosophy"; Price's "Sanitation"; Brown and Barnes' English Books; Blaise Atkinson's "English Business" Books; Atkinson's "College Botany" and a number of German, French, and Spanish texts.
Those who have inquiries to make at the Book Exchange may do so by calling 195 Bell. After today the business will slacken somewhat but the manager expects a brisk trade for the remainder of this week.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 1, 1916.
MISS TARBELL HAS TO
CANCEL LAWRENCE SPEECH
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, who was to visit K. U. the first part of this month, has been forced to cancel not only her engagement to speak in Lawrence, but also her whole western tour. This is due to the error in arrangement of her western manager who had booked her for lectures for the same evening in cities over one month, and her western trip would have brought her to Kansas City and Lawrence where she was to address the student body.
FOOTBALL MEN TEACH
IN LAWRENCE H.
Walter Wood, quarterback on the Varsity team for the ast two years, will be athletic instructor for the freshmen boys of the Lawrence high school. He will begin his duties with the present semester.

“HANK” MALOY BACK
D. Henry Maloy, the Daily Kansas cartoonist of three years ago, and whose cartoons have been often reprinted, has returned to Mount Oread to take his master's degree in journalism. His thesis in journalism will deal with the cartoon and the newspaper, "Hank" will again furnish sketches of college life on the K. U. students.
Daily Kansan Cartoonis Will Again Draw Pictures of K. U. Life
Maloy, like the wandering Jew, has pitched his tents in many cities and villages since the June of 1914. Most of his time has been with a chauquaqua circuit as an advertiser and during the latter part of the two years as superintendent of the tent men.
"I didn't mind the advertising," said Henry Maloy, "but I couldn't stand the frequent summer rains. I stayed with the circuit life until I became sick of the rain, which said was caused by storms and went to Milwaukee. I secured a good position there.
"It was making shrapnel shells for the Allies. I was holding down a position of keeping tab of all the shells manufactured and I liked them. One found out where I was through my parents in Eureka, Kanaas."
Maloy went back to the Lyecom circuit for the summer as superintendent of tent men and remained there until the last winter. "Hank" liked cartooning best and for this reason went to Chicago where he hoped to secure a position with one of the metropolitan newspapers. He had several newspapers printed in Chicago that Maloy began to haunt libraries and read "highbrow literature."
"I always refused to read the good literature or even the text books while in school, but since leaving school I have been said maloy." Just at present I'm reading Blackmar's Elements of Sociology.

Dean Kelly Believes Students Should Try to Get Degree in Three Years
FINISH EARLY, HE SAYS PEACE DELEGATE BACK
Dean F. E. Kelly, of the School of Education, addressing the alumni through this month's issue of the Nebraska newsletter indicates the three year college course.
The Summer Session has been extended from nine weeks to ten, allowing students to secure ten credits or exactly one-third of the year's work. In three years' attendance at sum or Sessions one full year of college sort; is eliminated, giving the student a quarter of the year, if a student continues work.
"No longer do we believe that students should wear themselves out physically by the nine months session in college so as to require three months of recuperation. Students should be in school every day in fact, that college course pursued at the expense of the health of the individual is unwise."
Since the first requirement of a proper college education is that the health should be safeguarded throughout the period of attendance and since the years of college life stretch out very trying for many students, particularly those who pursue a professional career after completing the four year college course, it seems that many students are forced to spend nine months out of twelve," writes Dean Kelly. "Why not attend the regular summer session, thus shortening the course by one year?"
"It has never been demonstrated that it is a wise tradition either from a health or from an educational point of view, and certainly it is unwise from an economic point of view to regard the custom of attending school nine months out of twelve, as largely a matter of tradition.
Polytechnic of Kansas City Fell a Victim to Second-String Men
THE SCRUBS WON A GAME
Coach Hamilton took a bunch of scrubs to Kansas City Saturday night for a game with the Polytechnic Institute, where he brought back the long end of a 34 to 15 score. The scrubs showed up in good form and looked as if they would succeed.
Kansas played the Kansas City school on the K. U., court early in the season and the game was a walk away for the Jayhawkers. The regulars had to make up for the seem to have hit a better stride since their Lawrence trip and the scrubs also hit a better gait away from home than they do at home. In fact, Hamilton was pleased with their showing and one of them in Friar's night's battle.
The Juniors started out with a spurt which looked as though they were going to hold the Kansans to a small score. But the spurt did not last long for Kansas ended the first half 14 to 10. After that the goals of Kansans and the Kansasians assisted the score beyond reach of the Techs. This gave the Kansans a score of 21 points in the last half compared with the 5 Techs points.
Four seniors in the department of journalism will go to Coffeyville next week to cover the convention of the Southeast Kansas Teachers' Association, which meets February 3 at the North Carolina State University in the Kansas City and Topoca papers and probably by the Iola, Chanute, Parsons and Pittsburgh papers.

Kenneth Pringle Returned Yesterday from Trip to European Non-Biligere Capitalts
Kenneth Pringle, the Henry Forde delegate to Europe from the University of Kansas, arrived in Lawrence last night and says that his trip to Europe has been like taking a whole month of existence out of his life so far as American current history is concerned. He is the first boss as to be present status of the affairs in the United States.
"I feel g'lad to get back again to my native land," said Kenneth Pringle this morning. "I have certainly gained much in instruction and do not at all regret taking the time of from my school work to go with Henry Ford to attempt some arrangements whereby peace might be brought to the war world, whereby a widespread settlement of international disputes might be had."
Pringle does not feel in the least that the expedition has been a failure as the delegates did not expect to accomplish all that has been contributed to them. The effort has resulted in the organization of a more permanent organization of one of the non-warring countries of Europe and America. The Ford delegates had hoped to secure recognition from the United States Government to make the after-meetings official and thus to secure recognition from the governments of Europe. The delegates have selected at last the Quebec and working on plans which Pringle expects will result in something more definite.
"As to the trip through Europe," said Pringle, "it was most enjoyable and exciting. We were on the move all the time. On the way over on the Oscar-winning show three times each day. We had a number of reporters with us and many of them made efforts to secure sensational news for their newspapers, and it was thus that many of the insignificant differences of opinions were written up in his this country as serious disputes.
"The students of Europe treat us royally. Everywhere we were met and entertained with banquets and public meetings. During the week's stop in the public meetings were permitted by the police. The German consul at Copenhagen arranged our pass ports through Germany and there was little or no trouble from the trip in which we were not allowed to touch German soil during travel across the Empire to Holland."
On the trip home from Europe the ship was stopped by a submarine at Deal, but few of the passengers saw the U-boat. The ship was neld for a day at Deal and the officers were taken off the latter place all mail was taken on by the British officers and personal letters were also taken from the passengers, unless they opened their mail for the inspection of the officin's. The officer's censorship has closed down so that very little news goes through.
"All the news from this land," said Pringle, "was over a month old and we received the late news only through interpreters. Most everything happened in Japan since leaving is news to me even though it is late."
After touching at Saint John for coal the Noordam Steamship, on which the thirty-one students were returning to the United States, came to New York and from here Pringle came direct to Lawrence that he might arrive in time to enroll for the second semester of school.

HEALTH SERVICE ISSUES
PAMPHLET FOR STUDENTS

The booklet contains general information regarding the hospital and dispensary, rules for University sanitation, list of health officers, for rooming and boarding houses, and healthy hints.
STUDENTS COASTING ON GOLF LINKS
Opportunities for coating on the campus were made use of yesterday to while away the time until hard work and study began again. Nor was the activity confined to coating, for there were several men out with skis last night until about midnight. Evidently the students who like to coast have a more wholesome fear of the activities of the police department than those who were out to the court or in school. They said today that they had received thus far no complaints of students coating on the streets.
Several parties were out with sleds on the point of the Hifl north of North Administration building and North both yesterday afternoon and last night.
