IS COLLEGE TO HAVE ITS HOLIDAY LIKE OTHERS?
Waits on Faculty While Laws and Engineers Celebrate With Vacation
MAKING ARRANGEMENTS NOW
Whether a holiday will be allowed for the College to hold its first real College Day is to be decided by the University Senate. The plans for the day's program have been hanging fire since the first of the year, until announcement is made that the holiday will be granted.
Ogden Jones Plans Baseball Game Between Students and Faculty and Picnic Lunch
The arrangements for the day's entertainment, which have been worked out by Ogden Jones, president of the College, are still in the process. Mr. Jones should in rapid order, as soon as final decision is given by the faculty.
Plan All Day Picnic
An all-day picnic affair is the idea, with a baseball game between faculty and undergraduates in the morning. Either at noon or in the evening, a big basket dinner will form one of the big features of the day. A dance in the evening will conclude the celebration.
Numerous inquiries that have been made from reasonable indications that a lively interest is being taken in the question as to whether the Senate will allow a cessation from the daily grind. Only the consent of the governing body remains to make it a success.
The failure of the holiday to be granted last year was due to the lack of interest on the part of the state and themselves defeated the proposition.
NEW Y. W. HOME NEXT YEAR Plan to Move in Apartment House Now Being Built
The University, Y. W. C. A. will have a new home next year. In the apartment house now being erected at the corner of Oread Avenue and Twelfth street they will occupy a suite of rooms where parties and receptions may be held. A comfortable reading room will be fitted up and rooms for the use of guests will be provided. Miss Anne Gittins, the secretary of the Y. W. C. A., will have her office in the apartment.
The association had planned to have a house where women students might room, but that idea was given up. As usual, the committee approved list of rooming house for girls, but will furnish no rooms in their own apartment.
LAWS HONOR UNCLE JIMMY
Hold Banquet in Honor of Dean Green's Birthday
One hundred and ten students will assemble at the Eldridge House tonight to do honor to Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law.
The banquet will begin at 8 o'clock.
A three-piece string orchestra, with Sweede Wilson as the featured performer, furnish music during the courses.
Following the banquet, Judge Sue Porter, of the supreme court; Judge Charles W. Smith, executive and pardon clerk to Governor Capper; and the Hon. Robert W. Blair, general attorney for the Union Pacific railway, will speak. Representatives of the classes in the school of Law are also slated for show talks Uncle Jimmy, in whose honor the judge is be held, will be called upon for a speech. It may not be on the program—but the Laws will insist on hearing from the man they honor.
No classes will be held in the School of Law tomorrow.
MISS WHITE GOES TO NORMAL NOT AG. SCHOOL
The Daily Kansan erred in its story last night to the effect that Miss Marion B. White had been elected dean of women at the Michigan State Normal school, and that she has been elected at the Michigan State Normal school.
Also the initials of Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, were made S. J. Johnson confining him with authority. W. H. Johnson, of the department of English.

W. C. Magathan has resigned his position in the office of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey and will leave immediately for the Philippine Islands where he will become associated with the United States. He passed the examination last spring. He will remain abroad for two years.

PHI BETA PI TAKES LEAD
Friedrich—L. A. Winsor,
Medics Win in Opening of Inter-Fra-
ternity League
In the first game of the Inter-
Fraternity league schedule, Phi Beta
Pi trounced Sigma Phi Sigma 7 to 5.
The game was well played and was a pitcher's battle between Poirier and "Doc" Miner, the latter winning out after a batting rally by his teammates.
Hamilton Field was the scene of the conflict and Russ Cowgill was the "referee." The Sigma Phis got up after the knock-out and swore revenge at t' next meeting of the teams.
Pi Uplison and Alpha Chi Sigma will battle for the chance to tie with the Medics for the lead today at 4 o'clock at the same field.
The women of the School of Fine Arts are voting on the proposed amendments to the W. S. G. A. constitution today in North College. The number of persons who have voted is more than 100 less than the number required to pass the amendments.
WOMEN ARE VOTING

If the women who vote at North College today are insufficient to satisfy the requirement the belleding continue in Fraser Hall tomorrow.

PICTURE STOLEN FROM UNIVERSITY NOT FOUND
No Information Yet Concerning Painting Taken From Art Collection
No clue has been discovered to the disappearance of the water color picture from the Administration Building. The loss was discovered by A. Griffith after his return from a university's absence from the University.
Professor Griffith does not know when the picture was stolen. Neither does he know why it was taken. The picture, a water color by Walter Schultz, is in Alexander Street. It was named "The Walled Town of Buo-Suada."
"It was one of the best drawings in the collection at the University," said Professor Griffith this morning, "and the person who took it evidently was a good judge of art. However, he was a man of integrity and thief, he would doubtless have taken other valuable pictures. Probably someone took a fancy to it."
Professor Griffith has offered a reward of $10 for information leading to the recovery of the picture. If it is not claimed, he will have no claim. The loss as the collection is loaned to him for exhibition at the University.
The picture was torn out of its frame, which was hidden behind a door. Two fasteners which held the frame in place were found on the floor beneath the place where the picture was hung.
The sophomore memorial committee will meet Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, Fraser Hall, Room 118. The class anticipates a large memorial fund as forty dollars has been collected already this year and no fund was carried over from last year. Oscar Brownlee, a graduate student, will collect 28 cents from every member of the class before the year is over.
SOPHOMORE MEMORIAL
FUND GROWING FAST
No plans have been made for the purchase of the memorial, as a growing fund is expected which is impossible to estimate at present.
The Pan-Hellenic baseball game scheduled for yesterday between Kappa Sigma and Beta Theta Pi has been postponed until next week.
Game Postponed
Typhoid inoculation will be given tomorrow afternoon from 1:30 to 5:30 o'clock in the basement of the Dyche Museum Building.
Inoculate Tomorrow
Arranging Tickets and Dates in Fraser; Making Jap Garden of Gym
THESE ARE BUSY DAYS FOR PROM PROMOTERS
Concerned with making the final arrangements for the Junior Prom, the busiest men in school today were the chaps behind the ticket desk in Fraser Hall and the squad of twelve decorators working frantically in Robinson Gymnasium. It was the task of the ticket men to see that everyone was dated up properly and that there is no confusion in regard to where they are wrestling with the equally important problem of converting Robinson Gymnasium into a reproduction of a Japanese flower garden.
According to a statement made this morning by Alex Creighton, co-manager of the Prom, over six hundred people will attend. This includes almost a hundred faculty members, perhaps fifty alumni, and some four hundred and fifty students. A long desk is needed for each desk this morning patiently waiting for a chance to secure the little pink and blue cards of admission.
Over in the Gym, Tony James, chairman of the decoration committee, stood in the center of the immense playing floor and shaded directions to a squad of eleven workmen, who were building huge crates of decorations imported from Japan City especially for the Prom. Japanese lanterns and umbrellas scattered about combined to produce an effect of chaos; but by this time tomorrow order will reign, and the gaudily colored papers will have assumed their places in the decorative scheme. This morning, however, Gym was overloaded with masses of bamboo pergolas, green dragons, and flowers and fans. In preparation for the dance, the Gym floor has undergone repairs and will be in better condition tomorrow night than ever before. Those people who have experienced difficulty in dancing upon its rough surface will be pleasantly surprised when they discover how smooth it is.
WINFIELD MINISTER IN
MORNING PRAYERS NEXT
Prof. U, G. Mitchell's subject for his chapel talk tomorrow morning is to be "The Basis of Fellowship." It will conform with the general subject for the week which is "Tendencies of Present Day Christianity."
Rev. William B. Lampe, of the First Fresheryian church in Winfield, will have charge of morning prayers next week.

MOVIE BUG NOW
Miss Lynn Yields to Real Shows
Miss Lynn Yields to Reel Shows
Discovered: A woman who has just seen a movie for the first time
is overcome with excitement.
Miss Margaret Lynn of the department of English and noted among Kansas authors attended her first motion picture show last week. Perhaps it is unpolitical to say her name in this context, but that implies that there are to be other attendances. But you never can tell. The bug is most tenacious and loses its hold only after a great struggle. Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith had the permission Miss Lynn and he says that she weighed properly pressed.
GRADING HAMILTON FIELD
FOR BASEBALL DIAMOND
Grading on Hamilton Field the last three days is rapidly turning it into a regulation size baseball diamond. The ditch just west of the field and the low ground between it and McCook are being cleared and leveled off. Tile arrived this morning for the ditch and the task will probably be completed by tomorrow noon according to W. O. Hamilton.
This improvement will permit the backstep to be moved west fifty or sixty feet and the ground south of the field is being leveled and the outfield of the new diamond will extend fifty or sixty feet south of the old boundary, making the field considerably larger.
Anent the Point System
That the students really want to vote on the point system is shown by the following form from a number submitted:
W. H. Dodds: "If the students want to decide on the point system they should be allowed to do so."
Hal Coffman: "By all means, let the students have an expression on the point system by it directly to them or by the appointment of a committee to discuss it with the student and to report it to the Student Council."
Lefty Sproul: "I do not see what business the Student Council has in putting the point system off on the ballot, and allowing them to vote on the proposition."
E. G. Kaufman: "The adoption of the point system would be a matter for the company."
Bill Weaver: "In my opinion the paint system is of enough importance to warrant a review."
G. M. Lamar: "I question very much whether the Student Council has the power to adopt the point system without a referendum vote of the men students of the University." Herbert Howland: "The point
Herbert Howland: "The point system should be put before the stu-
Owen W. Maloney: "it is the right of the student body to take the point system." Howard Adams: "The student body has the right to say whether they want to adopt the point system and could be voted on by the student body."
R. R. Radar: "The students should be a vote on the point system before a game."
Allen Sterling: "The point system is a fine thing, and it is such an important part of the body brought before the whole body of the men students of the University."
J. L. Sellers: "If the point system is brought before the students, they will take more interest in it, and the outcome will be more satisfice
E. F. Schooley: "The Student Council has not showed itself to be competent to pass on anything as the adoption of the point system."
TOPEKA GAME CALLED OFF
TOUFLER GAME CALED OFF
Valley Rule Forbids Play Profes
sional Teams—Trying Wm. Jewell
The two games which were scheduled for the K. U., baseball nine with the Topeka League team Monday and Tuesday have been called off because of a conflicting rule of the Missouri Valley Conference, that prohibits any games with a player reached this morning when Coach Gay Lowman, of the Kansas State Agricultural College, entered a protest.
This is not a new ruling but one that has never been strictly observed by the members of the conference. Coach Hamilton immediately called off the game upon hearing of the prosecution and reminded the William Jewell team here for the opening of the season Monday.
If Coach Hamilton is unable to get another game scheduled for that date the opening of this year's season will be Thursday April 15, when the Chinese team comes for two games on a tour of the States.
HASH HOUSE LEAGUERS PLAY BALL TOMORROW
Opening Games of Season to be Fought Out This. Week End
FANS WILL BE THERE ALSO
Every Live Boarding House Rooter is coming Out to Work for His Team Tomorrow and Saturday
it has been advisable to change the place of playing the two games scheduled for tomorrow as follows: Daniels vs. Hamilton to Hamilton east, at 4; Hope Midway, to Hamilton west, at 4.
Additional announcements of importance will appear in this column tomorrow evening, rel. to the Kid's games. Watch for them.
For a month several hundred men at the University have been planning for the Hash House League season. They have brought out old worn out mites, saved from their grade school days and practiced daily. Some have new, up-to-date gloves, but most of the men will go out to play with equipment more cherished than mites. But that enthusiasm from playing with all their enthusiasm. Some will muff, and "pull bones," and catch "butterfingered" and "fan-out," but it'll be real—fun real.
And those who are not fortunate enough to "make the team" will be on the coaching lines and they'll laugh when the other side muffs the ball and they'll cheer when their players swat a two-bagger.
This Week's Games
Two games will be played tomorrow:
Daniels vs. Y. M. C. A. at 4 on Hamilton east; Hope vs. Midway at 4 on Hamilton west.
On Saturday the following games will be played: Co-op vs. Ulrich, Hamilton west, at 2; Martin vs. Neal, Hamilton east, at 8:30; Hamilton west, at 12; Wesley vs. K. K. North, at 2; at Dad's Club vs. Custer, Hamilton east, at 2; at 1328. O. S. Stevenson, Hamilton east, at 4; Franklin vs. Lee's, Hamilton west, at 2; College Campus vs. Dunkin Cooper, North College, North 2, at 8:30; Track Training Table vs. Moody, Hamilton west, at 4.
At the meeting of team representatives last week a schedule was adopted, which appears elsewhere in the paper. Abbreviations like "He" and "He for the east diamond on Hamilton Field, just south of McCook; 'H"w for the west diamond on the same field; "N"1 for the east diamond on the field north of McCook; and "N"2 for the field south of McCook. The figure in the lower right hand corner of each square is the hour set for the game.
The League adopted an official ball, securing reduced rates by ordering in large quantities. One ball will be available for each game, the winning team being allowed to keep it.
Minor alterations have been made in the rules, requiring any baseball K man, Varsity player, or professional to play an outfield position; and imposing a penalty of forfeiture of games on any club team. The corrected rule is any ballplayer in order to induce him to play. The corrected rules are printed below.
