Don't eat too many ice cream sodas or things like that. Associate with young people and continually draw from their fountain of youth. Don't worry if you haven't your lesson. Flunk gracefully and blame it on the teacher, or have the teacher, has pets and are not fair. These are not beauty hints by fair Lilian Russell, but merely a few rules on keeping young which Undee takes very seriously as a reporter on the sly the other day. Uncle Jimmy has reached the ripe age of seventy-three and still has a deep love for the veins than the average freshie. During a "feast" recently in Green Hall Uncle Jimmy let the cat out of his dog and his wife for remaining a single public place. "I'm just naturally one of those healthy beings," mused K. U.'s Grand Old Man. "I've only been sick once, and that was last summer. That I never want to be sick again. I never take any violent exercise and I think that is one reason why I feel so fine. I tried to swim once and went to bed. That ended my aquatic career." Then came the quartet of health rules. W. S.G.A.

AMES COULDN'T TOUCH CRAIG AND LOSES 5 TO 2 McCarty's Men Take First Conference Game by Good Pitching BOTH TEAMS MADE NINE HITS Aggies Made Two Bobbles but Jay hawkers got Through With Clean Slate The inability of the Ames Aggies to bunch their hits off Craig, cost the Iowans their first Missouri Valley Conference game yesterday with McCarty's Jayhawkers on McCoack Field. Although both teams made field. Also, a Kansas made rent use of their's with its resulting score of Kansas. 5, Ames. 2 Although slick for more blows, Craig really pitched a better game than in his initial performance against the Chinks last week. His control was perfect not a man being flirted with by a teammate, the long walk back to the bench, after gazing at three elusive strikes. Okey for Ames also pitched an O. K game but the two errors by his teammates came at critical times, resulting in three of the Crimson and Blue runs, which were enough to win. Both teams two counterwere a result of clean sweat splaying by Delongy's batters. Bangham's Boot Made a Run The first Kansas run came!; the opening inning when "Rabbit" Wood walked, and was sacrificed to sc. and Wandel, DeLongy hit safely to left but the blow was too short to bring Wood in. The midgut scored however when Bangham booted Lindsay's bounder. Wood also started the K. U. score in the third when he led off with a Texas leaguer to left. Wandel and Chinney both singled, the latter's hit bringing in Wood. DeLongyza's sacrifice飞 score Wandel but Chinney was nipped going to third. Lindsay ended the agony by a long fly. In the eighth, *nailed* by the old "tide of Craig's assistants determined to give him a safe lead and went out and got two more runs. Lindsay opened with a double. King was safe on Firkin's double and both scored on Webel's under right. Ames not an additional man in the ninth on a single and double.

Ross or Merrill, the two star pitchers of the visitors, are slated to pitch the second game this afternoon, which will be called at 4 o'clock. Edmondson the "umpf" for yesterday's game was formerly a Washington American player. According to Ames players who wouldn't know it. MISSOURI WINS OVER KANSAS IN DEBATING The grandstand crowd started a cushion bombardment of "Doc" Burch's new spring hat in the ninth iming. The fire was so heavy that Doc had to adjourn to a more sheltered position outside the stand. Notes The attendance for the game while good didn't quite equal the crowd at best.

Tragedy of Last November Repeated in Jungletown Last Night MONROE DOCTRINE SUBJECT Affirmative Upheld for K, U. by Car son, Joseph, and Wedell—Lost by 2 to 1 Vote Columbia, Mo., April 22—After an hour and a half of live argument on a live question the Missouri University debating team won by a two to one decision over the men from the University of Kansas last night in the Big Ten conference here. The Jayhawks spoke on the affirmative and the Tigers on the negative of the following question: Resolved: "That the United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine." In their logical argument the Kansas team appeared superior to their opponents but clever retorts by the Missourians kept the audience in good mood and won great favor with the judges. Kansas' Argument Cale Carson opened the argument for Kansas by showing that the Monroe Doctrine has changed from one of self defense to one of aggression and domination. Also that it very indefinite to inconsistent application. Don Joseph, who was the leader for the American brought out the point that the Monroe Doctrine placed the United States in a disadvantageous position as policemen of this hemisphere and was liable to involve us in war. His second point was that the holding of this policy had caused our South American trade to suffer. That the army and navy and not the doctrine policy protects the United States and plans of the military be dead subordinate over the points addressed by Hugo Wedell, the last speaker for Kansas. Missouri's Argument The constructive argument of the Mouri team team followed three main points That the South American Republics were weak and needed protection; for the sake of our sister South American republics in their perilous condition and for our own safety we should maintain the Monarchical authority in the hostility between the U. S. and the Republics. Albert Thornton, P. H. Arthars, and C. K. Lutes were the Tiger speakers. Mr. Lutes, who closed the argument for his team spoke extemporaneously and was considered highly by the judges. President Hill of the University presided and a crowd of more than 200 attended. There was great rejoicing when the decision was announced as this is the first time in three years that the locals have won. Entertained K. U. Men After the debate the visitors were guests at a banquet. Each member of the Kansas team, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, who accompanied the men from Lawrence, and the judges, N. H. Bostick, secretary of the St. Louis College, Rodger Baskell, of the St. Louis College, Haskell, of the Kansas City Star, made short talks. President Hill took the visitors to the train in his automobile. The Jayhawkers said before they left that they had had the time of their lives and that for hospitality their University was the only place. PROF, WILCOX DOES "AEROPLANE" DANCE The next meeting of the Greek Symposium will be at Prof. M. W. Sterling's home at 1129 Louisiana street, on May 6. The last meeting of the club which was held at Prof. A. M. Wielox's home was one of the clubs that has been enjoyed that has been held this year. A book entitled Teddysee which is a satire on Theodore Roosevelt was read and compared to Homer's Odyssey. The Teddysee is written in the same form and metre as the Odyssey and is a story of Roosevelt's wanderings in South America and of his trips. The book includes a dance gave by a exhibition of a dance which he called the "Aeroplane." Plan New Teachers Course A teachers training course will be opened to freshmen and sophomores if the motion made by Dean Arnin Olin at the College faculty meeting Tuesday is favorably reported upon by the administrative committee. This course would make sophomores eligible for teaching positions. Mu Phis Pledge Mu Phil Epilion announces the picking of Mary Linn Junior Fine Art. MUST PEEK TO SEE ENGINEERS' PARADE College Gets no Hour off “And so you want an hour off to tomorrow to see the Engineers’ parliament.” Dean Arvin S. Olin overheard a reporter ask Miss Moodie, the chancellor of the college, to students in the College were going to get to see the Engineers put on their annual stunt tomorrow. The dean ordered the engineers to school days and continued his musing. "When you were little kids in the public schools and a circus came to town the teacher dismissed you a litter street or to the village square to watch the elephants and the calliope go by. Now here comes another sort of a circus and you are all clamoring for them we will not let you out; what then?" "If you don't let us out, don't you think we will all peek anyway?" ventured. "Well, well, I guess you are right," laughed Dean Olin. "And since you are just kids grown tall I guess they ought to let you see the show." But there is no authorized hour holiday for College students tomorrow; if they see the parade they will "just have to peek." TO HAVE FLOWER CHECK STAND FOR SOPH HOP Second-Year Class Plans Strictly Informal Event Friday Night Special decorations, new party gowns, white trousers, and light suits are receiving the attention of the sophomores and others who are going to the Hop Friday evening, April 30. The curtain for the farce will go up at 7 o'clock and the dancing will begin at 8:39 until 2 o'clock. "We are going to have a check stand where flowers will be deposited until after the dance," said Lawry. "I will be in this morning." "In talking over the plans of the Hop with the manager, George Yeokum, I find that he is determined that the affair shall be initiated and free from flowers and cabs." The spirit of informality has even been extended to dress, according to Manager Yeekum. Not only white trousers and dark coats will be in evidence but palm beaches and even grey blue serge suits will be prominent. Lawrence Miller expresses his belief that the modification in costume will make the Hop attractive to other classes in the University besides the second year men and women. For this reason an invitation has been extended to all students who have the necessary "two-fifty." After the force the entire evening will not be given over to the usual dancing. Several surprises have been booked for the latter part of the evening in the way of fun dances. One or two features are being kept secret. The couple will left for Kansas City this morning to make necessary arrangements. The students taking part in the farce are Henry J. McCurdy, Alton Gumbiner, Dora Lockett, Helen Clark, and Itasca Hillman. They Want College Day Following are the names of students who have pledged themselves to take part in the activities of College if it is granted by the University. Francis H.

Crabbe Carl Becker, professor of European history, has written a book, "The Beginnings of the 'American People,' which will be out sometime this month. The book is being published by the Houghton-Mifflin Co., Boston. UNIVERSITY MAY CREDIT BIBLE STUDY ON DEGREE Work in Bible History and Literature to Count Toward A. B. Under Proposed Plan MINOR PROBLEMS YET IN WAY But Student Pastors are Hopeful of Result—Plan Successful at Other Schools They Say Credit for work in Bible classes is under discussion in the administrative committee of the College faculty. The proposition was submitted in the faculty meeting this week. The com-mission return it to the faculty for decision later. Student Pastors Would Teach "For the first time there is active effort for credited Bible classes," said Secretary Conrad Hoffmann of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers been suggested before, but this is the first time that a real campaign has been started. The student pastors, teachers and students from all he'd behead, have been preparing the arrangement which was submitted. "The plan is to have the student pastors conduct classes in Bible history and literature, to meet in Myers hall or Westminster Hall, the pastor of the college, at A.B. degree," Mr. Hoffmann continued. "They would be two or three hour classes, and would be conducted just like any other classes in the University. The work would be really as such as other literary and historical classes, particularly for English students would be a valuable part of the course. "There are several major problems to be settled, of course. Myers Hall is really a denominational building, and that might be made a point of objection. And the pastors are not universally located as a University instructor. There are a great many who are prejudiced against the introduction of subjects that appear religious. But in New York they are introducing Biblical training into the public schools, and the fact that it is legitimate and beneficial is beginning to be realized in New York. It would give credit to the classes would dignify religious study, and would encourage the students to take it up, as well as inducing more thorough work," he concluded. PUT SLIDES ON CIRCUITS Lantern Seenes Will go From Place to Place Next Year The extension division has adopted a plan whereby lantern slides will be banded by means of circuits instead of glass, and all directly from headquarters here. On account of the increased demand for the slides some scheme for increasing the range of circulation is necessary. So on September 1, 1915, each of fifty schools will receive a set of slides and when one school finishes these slides the photo of the student sent to on another school in the town it has not been decided whether there will be one or two circuits but in all probability there will be two. Supplementary sets of slides will be kept at the extension division here so that in case there is $n$ demand for more than the circuit can furnish, slides may be sent from the University direct. Letters explaining the working of the system and a bulletin giving names of all available slaves have been published in this school in the state and now all they have to do is to apply for entrance to one of the circuits and they will receive a certificate and a lecture on the fifty subjects each week, beginning next school year. MORE Y. M. MEN WILL GO TO ESTES PARK The Kansas College Young Men's Christian Associations are planning to send to the Rocky Mountain Student Conference at Estes Park in Colorado to meet the history of the conference. Kansas has always had the largest delegation of the states in the conference and expect to take the banner this year. They are planning for a speeck instead of the special car for the trip. The states that are in the conference are Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, and Oklahoma. The states that are not in the conference are Kansas delegates is $37.50 for fare, board and registration fees.
