EIGHT MANUSCRIPTS IN
Fifty Dollar Prize Play Will be Announced Next Week
Eight complete manuscript *plays* have been submitted to Prof. Arthur MacMurray, chairman of the Play Contest Committee, to compete for the $60 prize which will be awarded by any University student. Out of the twelve who entered the contest, the following have handed in their manuscripts: Marjorie A. A. Rickard, Arthur A. A. Names, Bob Patrick, Elizabeth A. E. Pulleo, Josephine Elizabeth A. Sullivan, Josephine艾尔兰 and Donald Davis.
"The showing made by the students in the contest," said Prof. MacMurray, "is far better than the committee in charge had expected." The competition is exceedingly good and the competition for the prize will be spirited.
"Another year it is hoped that there will be a better prize to offer. This is the first time that any contest like this has been held but the play writing contest will become an annual affair. At present, however, attention is centered upon the report that the committee will soon turn in. They are now hard at work looking over the papers; but it will probably be a week or more before any decisions are made."
College Pranks vs. Vandalism
Much of the enduring loyalty clings about the memories of such cheerful events. A college president once said that the most important institution came from men who remembered their college fun and the "idlesse" of these happy days long after time had blotted out the more serious impressions of the classroom. There is however a third institution overlooked by collegians as well as by their friends of the outside world, between college fun and fundamental decency and good order. When this line is crossed, all the authority of the faculty and, if necessary, the faculty members is brought to bear upon the offender. There should be no daily with undergraduate law breakers, no special exemptions for students. The reprehensible and even criminal acts committed by students are involved not simply dishonesty but ruthless destruction of property and menace to life, call for orwer punishment than seemingly they receive. Is it not one of the functions of collegiate training to preserve property and visual connection?
President Emeritus James B. Angell of the University of Michigan tells the story of a professor who, wishing to illustrate a point in his lecture by a harmless experiment with an animal, asked one day, "Will some student bring me morrow morning to may show my experiment?" The next day every one of the forty students entered the lecture room with a cat under his arm. Mechanical laws seem never to baffle the collegian in his search for gaisy. At the college campus cause one to cease to wonder at the mechanical triumphs of the Egyptians. At one college which the writer visited, the stilyt was disturbed by half a hundred students who were on wagon back and forth on an upperyst of a college dormitory, to which place they had succeeded in hoisting it. This occurred at midnight, and was accomplished for the specific purpose of the faculty and three hundred students who were supposed to be sleeping on the floor below.
Few things are more needed in American life today than the strengthening of respect for lawful authority. Is it time we look to the colleges for leadership in this direction?—Christian Science Monitor.

ANOTHER HONOR SOCIETY
"Representative Students" from all Schools Organize a New Fraternity
K. U. has a new honor society, "The Knights of the Golden K." "U" is its name, and the society was organized yesterday morning. "To defend right, to oppose wrong, and to promote a better feeling of fellowship among the recognized leaders in student activities" is the object of the organization, and it is celebrated every year yesterday morning. The "Knights" will differ from all other honor societies at the University in that its membership is composed of representatives from all the classes in the University. This membership, in the active chapter, is to be limited at all times to thirty. Twenty-five men, including four baseball players, the Hill and captains, the four major athletic teams, are charter members of the organization. Their names will be made uncle tomorrow.
A constitution was adopted, and officers were elected at the meeting yesterday. E. M. Johnson is president of the union, vice-president; Alex Creighton is secretary; and Bryan Davis is treasurer. At the next meeting of the society, to be held at the Sigma Nu house on February 3, the active work of the organization will be undertaken. The union will meet once a month there after.
An organization such as the "Knights" has long been talked of as being a desirable thing for the University. According to the founders of the new university, a biasedive organization, content to meet for social purposes only, but will endeavor to be an active force in University affairs. They will act as a sort of buffer between the student body on one hand and the teacher, and will endeavor to assist both bodies in adjusting their relations.

Our Annual Bid For Clemency
SEEKS TRACK OPPONENT
Refusal of K. C. A. C. to Meet K. U. Leaving Hole in Hamilton's Schedule
Now the report comes, that there will be no dual indoor meet with the K. C, A, C, this year. Dr. J, A. Reilly gave a negative answer to Hamilton's appeal for a practice meet to be held in New York City, where he met the new term and now the coach will have to look elsewhere for an opponent for the Jaghawkers cinder artists. Just who will be chosen to open the meeting will be determined as soon as possible.
Reilly insisted that he would like to meet Hamilton's men at that time but that he did not have a full team on hand now and could not get one for one single meet this early in the year.
Meanwhile the Kansas track squad will be training, for the indoor inter-class meet which will be held the see-through week of the second semester. The Aggie dual meet at Manhattan will be the next ding on the program. Then the two meets in Convention Hall will be followed by the trackers only a short time to get in good shape for the Aggie meet which will be a hard one this year.
Coaches Hamilton and Patterson will have about as much veteran material to work with as the other coaches of the Valley. There are veterans returning for almost every event and in two other events.
A large number of first year men are keeping in shape this year so that they will lose out for next year. All these men are worth while will be taken to Kansas City for the K. C. A. C. invitation meet in the middle of February. They will be entered unattached in this and individual work only will count.
A PSALM OF ANALYTICS
Freshman Engineer, discovered at midnight; solloquises: "w"
"Tell me not in complex numbers,
Algebra is but a dream!
Fairly simple.
I'll go."
all my thoughts like clotted cream.
X is real, y elusive!
Is the origin its pole?
But, I fear I'll grow abusive,
Are parts greater than the whole?
Not on luscious Economics
May I pasture my sad goat;
Not on journalism's comics
Man is but an asymptote;
For my grief is wild and plangent
'Oer a half hyperbole):
Let me guide along your tangent-
Show me what you really are!
Like a fool I sit here stewing
On one lost re-ordinate;
Heaven alone knows what I'm doing.
Seeking some lone x's mate.
Seorning fountains pedagogic
From a deeper well I drink;
But it tastes as paregoric
Might to Darwin's Missing Link.
Social science theoretic
Filled me up with human dust;
Give my soul a strong emetic—
I must find that y or bust.
Through my brain the letters battle,
Spelling syllables that vex;
In my cranium two peas rattle—
Pallety y and shriveled x.
Certain pasteboard slips remind me
I must go away from here,
And, departing, leave behind me
Strings of E's and one sad tear
Strings of Es! Perhaps another Freshman with a fishy eye May behold in them some other University y"—University of Washington Daily

The course has been arranged to suit the particular needs of the retailers of the state, as expressed in their letters to the chairman of the program committee and the best features of last year, including Paul H. Nystrom, are scheduled again for this year's course.
"The week will be full of good things for the owner and clerks of every store in Kansas," said Mr. Hamilton, this mornings. "Special problems arise in the problems daily confronting the man behind the counter and round tables will be held every afternoon for those engaged in a particular business. We expect a larger attendance. The course is twenty-five per cent longer and one hundred per cent better than last year."

Lornez Believes In Gym Work Prof. H, A. Lorenz, physical director, has this to say about persons and newspapers agitating military training as a substitute for physical training. "Those persons advocating a change from physical training to military drill are talking through their hats. I believe in military training in some respects, but of what good is such training to a person if he hasn't built up a good physique?"
Publication of fraternity and sorority scholarship rankings is taboo at Defauw as a result of faculty action on the question. The faculty by a small majority, expresses the view that grades are detrimental to the best interests of the college and that the practice should be abandoned.
