PROF. HAWORTH TRIES TO STOP U. S. REPORT
Thinks Conclusions of Geological Survey are Wrong and Injurious to Kansas
MIGHT CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Experts Say Substratum Granite but University Geologists Thinks it is Only Hard Form of Sandstone
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, of the department of geology and state geologist, is trying to defer the publication of an article in the *United States Geological Survey* by assigning the Kansas oil fields which if published will be very detrimental to the prospects of striking oil and gas in north central Kansas and result in the probabilities of military attacks on property owners in that portion of the state he thinks.
Two wells were recently put down near Zendaele in Wabausee County, and a stratum of hard substance thought to be granite, was struck at a distance of 40 miles. The drilling was continued in one well for another hundred feet while the other one was put down three hundred feet through the same hard substance. Should this substance prove to be granite, it would strike oil and gas under the hopes of striking oil and gas in that territory. The mass of the area lies in Morris, Geary, Wabausee and Pottawattamie counties. After a short investigation the geological survey concluded that no grabitite, and a member prepared an article for publication. Upon hearing of this, Professor Haworth immediately wrote to Washington in an effort to defer publication until further notice and an effort is now being made to harborize the opinions of the geologists.
May be Quartzite
In Professor Haworth's opinion the hard stratum, which has been struck is only a sandstone of very compact nature and in the technical term a quartzite, similar in character to the quartzite formations at Sioux Falls, South Dakota and will not affect the prospects or oil or gas.
Professor Haworth thinks the opinion formed by the Washington geologists is erroneous and will, if published, result in the virtual condemnation of hundreds of thousands of acres in the north central part of the state, which are likely to become first class oil and gas land.
Should he be unable to stop the publication of this paper it will so intimidate oil and gas men that they will not isk any answers on the northern territory for many years. Professor Haworth thinks.
HAMILTON HAS MADE NO
RECOMMENDATIONS YET
Investigation Might Save Millions Should he succeed in deferring its publication until a thorough investigation has been made it will probably result in the saving of many millions of dollars to the government, many of whom have already leased large tracts of land to oil and gas companies.
"I have made no recommendation about the coaching situation to the Board of Administration as yet." declared O. Handley, "I will work on it as today. "Whether I shall do so during the two days the board meets here, I have not decided."
Nothing was said this morning about the football coaching situation at the meeting of the Board of Administration, according to E. T. Hackney, principal in residence. It is reserved for lawrence today and tomorrow at a regular session.
Inter-fraternity Schedule Ready
The Inter-fraternity league begins its schedule April 7. Forty games are scheduled among the five teams composing the league. Members include the following fraternities: Phi Beta Pi, medical; Sigma Psi Sigma, local; Pi Upsilon; chemical; Alpha Chi Sigma, chemical; Alpha Delta law, law.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Kansan Board will give over the paper tomorrow to the department of journalism and to the students in the newspaper courses. The regular members of the staff will take a vacation. Students in the various departments rather than all the news, head the stories and make up the paper. The editorial page will be the handiwork of advanced students in journalism.

Charles II Didn't Like to be Fooled
Representative McGinnis, who introduced the anti-fake complexion bill into the legislature, hasn't anything on Charles II.
Beau Charley, peeved at finding that the moonlight complexion of one of his fair damals wasn't the real thing, ordered Parliament to pass a bill providing "that all women of whatsoever age, rank, profession or degree whether virgin, maid or widow shall from after the passage of this act, impose upon or betray into matrimony any of his manners; possess cosmetics, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stains, hoops, high heels shoes or bolsterse hips shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against witchcraft, and marriage upon conviction shall be null and void."
SACHEMS BOOST SENIOR CLASS MEMORIAL PLAN
Honor Society Approves Stone Bulletin as Gift to
University
Approval of a bulletin board for the senior memorial by the Sachems seni or society for men, was announced in 1915. In that year, president of the Class of 1915,
Agitation for a permanent stone bulletin board has been active for some time. A week ago it was on the court floor of the University at the union of the Fraser and Law School walks south of the Museum, at the point now occupied by a campus light. This had to be abandoned, but it would be impossible to move the lamp post.
Present plans specify a large stone bulletin board to be placed just north of the first site, back of the mail box in the same relative position as the small bulletin board now at that point.
K. U. Society Wins Debate
The championship of the debating societies of the University was won by the K. U. Debating Society over the University Debating Society in their annual contest Friday night.

They uphold the honor of Arlene Armstrongs "That the state of Kansas should loan money to prospective farm owners . on land security."
The University Debating Society was represented by Kenneth Lott, Roy Davidson and Rex Moody. The judges, J. R Homey and R. D'Leary, rendered a two to one decision in favor of the affirmative.

Miss Charles Speaks
VOTING OF BONDS FIRST STEP TO WATER REMEDY
Mrs. F. B. McColloch Says Stand Long Strain and Win New Plant Would not in Final Round of High Mean More Taxes School Meet
"Lawrence water at present is bad, and should be remedied at once," declared Mrs. F. B. McColloch, president of the Federation of Women's Clubs of Lawrence, this morning. "Even if the water supply were pure at the present time, it would take five years to clean out the pipes enough to make the water drinkable. I know one man who had his water supply shut off for a day in order to have some plumbing done and found the almost filled with sediment through which the water could hardly pass. Lawrence water is especially bad in summer, when the supply is low.
"Voting $350,000 bonds for a new water plant is the first step to be taken. There is an idea abroad that this bond issue would mean increased taxes, but it is not so. The money would be paid by归属于 from the new water plants itself, without taxation. The building of a new works would not preclude the possibility of buying the old plant."

Appoint Committees to Handle Events on annual Day April 23
Committees composed of a member from each of the six departments in the School of Engineering have been appointed by N. W Brown, president of the School, to work out the plans and make arrangements for the annual Engineers' Day Friday, April 23. The Engineers' sixteenth Annual Gymnasium, the Robinson Gymnasium, "tuesday night", April 22 and an Engineers' dance in the Gym the following night will close the annual celebration.
The day will be conducted in a similar manner as past ones. The parade will be given in the morning between the different departments will make up the day's progress. Three inning baseball games, tugs of war, a track meet, an interclass and an interclass relay will be the athletic stunts.
Cups will be offered to the winners of the baseball championship, the tug of war, the track meet, the inter-class re'lay, the inter-department relay and the individual star. Besides the cup, will be awarded to individual winners.
Besides the students appointed on the rules and regulations committee, three faculty members will probably be chosen to assist in drawing up a set of rules that will eliminate all chance for dispute on decisions and the way the athletic events are conducted.
The committees appointed are Parade marshalls, G. C. Harding Erroll Welch, Arthur Lawrence, W. L. Gibson.

after a run of 15 games.
The superior weight of the heavy Iola hights enabled them to keep up under the strain of two days hard playing under which the lighter Newton team went to pieces. The Blue and Gold glove that gave them out and after the first ten minutes played on nothing but pure nerve. Jones the midgut forward on the Newton quintet played through the entire tournament although threatened with pneumonia. He insisted on being in the lineup for championship game. Saturday night although having a temperature of 101.
The victory of iola gives that school their first K. U. tournament cup. Lawrence high last year's finals are imprinted in the semi-finals by Newton.

Notes of the Tournament
Bv Bud Ritter
The looks of the girls drew more spectators to the games than the number of the players.
Some of the high school yells 'were a little too long or involved for the few rooters who accompanied some of the guys, or got lost before they finished them.
Rosedale sprang a surprise in the first half of their game with Arkansas City but couldn't last.
The score in the girls' games is kept low by their inability to throw with one hand like the boys. Arkansas girls and the only girl who did it naturally.
A girls' game would be much more interesting for the spectators if the rules were changed to permit the players more liberty in going from one part of the floor to the other as the boys do.
Helen Pfleger of Eudora is about as lively as any member of her team, in spite of her handicap
The Colby girls fell in love with the thrilling Slisters detailed to watch over them.
The girls from Kiowa county get the palm for loyalty to the team; many have been sewed on the back of their blouses and on the sleeves of their street conts.
The Chanute center was responsible for many of the scores of her team; she was by far the best jumper on the floor.
Sterling showed perhaps the best teamwork of the tournament until they were worn out. Their tall center, Ivy Plinket, usually tossed the ball where she wanted it, and with two or three passes they had the goal.
The styles of hairdressing affected by the girls ranged from the pigtails of the Eudora maidens to the boys' caps of the Ellsworth team and the bandanas of the Oskaloosa girls.
DO YOU LIKE TO SEE CARTOONS?
Best Work is Being Shown at K. U.
Online paintings in oil there is something distinctly human about these pen and ink drawings by famous artists and cartoonists now on display in the Administration Building. There are styles to satisfy each individual taste of the artist in cartoons of Chapin and Williams to the exquisite little scenic sketches of Walter Hale done in black and white sepia.
James Montgomery Flagg, W. Morgan, Gibson and Zerger are represented. There are humorous pen drawings of the fanciful, faintful decorative ink sketches of Fambin, quaint works of Clara Elsene Beck done for Collier's Weekly, and masterful charcoal drawings by Robert O. to illustrate "The Inward Empire."
The variety in style and subject of the works of Lozz is remarkable. They range from drawings to ink drawings to days to mathematical portraits of modern society.
Whether you understand the fine points of these works or not, you will enjoy the humanness of them. If you sympathize with the pathos and joy, the humor and the little life, you learn these little pictures of life as famous artists see it.
Among the one hundred fifty other favorites of magazine and newspaper popularity are Chapin of the St. Louis Post; Harper of the Chicago Post; Will Crawford, C. P. Peters and Ewers of Puck; Townsend of Everybody's; Morgan of Colliers; Guger of the Century; and Guger of the Century and J. C. Coll of the Sunday Supplement.
The exhibit began Thursday and will continue for three weeks. It will begin on Monday, February 25 at 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. clock daily except Sunday. No admission is charged.
JAPANESE EFFECT AT PROM
Decorations Carry Out Scheme of Picturesque in Mikado's Land
One of the busiest men in school these days is the chap behind the table in Fraser Hall check stand who is dealing out Junior Prom tickets to the students. Every morning, from 11:20 until 12:30 o'clock a representative is there to hand out the pasteboards.
Originality, uniqueness, and "that slightly different air" are to be the keynotes of the Junior Prom decorations, according to a statement made this morning by Manager Alex. Creighton. For the first time in the history of the annual society event, perhaps more important is in the decorations—a departure from the conventional which will no doubt meet with universal approval.
A quaint Japanese note is to be the predominant strain in the decorative scheme, and lights, vines, lattice work, hangings, and artificial flowers will be used to convert the Gym into the land of the Mikado.
Tony James, captain of next year's football team, is chairman of the decoration committee, and will have a large squad of pigskin heavens out to clothe the Gym in its Japanese garments.
Haley's ten piece orchestra from Kansas City is to furnish the music. The Prom will begin at 7 o'clock with a warm, brightly lit arrangement on the lower floor of the Gym. Following this will come the舞, with refreshments during intermission. According to a special announcement, all allowed to continue until 2 o'clock.
Kellogg Gets Job
Arthur R. Kellogg, a graduate student in biological science, has received an appointment from Washington as scientific assistant to the department of agriculture. He will begin his duties June 1.
Bloomers of all colors were seen, but the blue seemed to be the favorite. In descending order the popular colors are—blue blood black, maroon, brown.
The afternoon sunlight in the Gym bothered the players a great deal.
Nina Stanford of Bonner made one of the prettiest shots for a goal of the whole tournament in the game with Hill City.
When the Lyndon team came on the floor someone in the gallery began to give them a cheer. One of the little Lyndon girls looked up to see who it was with a trusting clung and said to the girl beside her, "Oh, I'm so glad there's someone to root for us. It must be Ross Busenbark.
Red was by far the favorite color of the tournament. Hair ribbons, ties and clothes of red gave a gay appearance to the games.
TO VOTE ON PROPOSED COUNCIL AMENDMENTS
Women Cast Ballots Tomorrow From 8 to 4 o'Clock
WOULD MAKE TWO CHANGES
W. S. G. A. Measures Provide for General Election About April 1 and Plurality Approval
The women of the University will vote tomorrow, from 8 to 4 o'clock on the Faser check stand on the two floors of the building, the constitution of the W. S. G. A.
The first amendment is a proposed change in the time of election of the officers of the W. S. G. A. The first amendment allows the election from the first week in May to some time between the middle of March and the first of April. The second change is in the number of votes required for an amendment into effect. It is desired to make a plurality of votes sufficient to adopt an amendment, rather than the present requirement of two thirds of the number of votes of the women in the University.
Dorothea Hackbusch in stating her reasons for desiring the passage of the amendment, says: "The Women's Student Government Convention metts the last of April, at some college of the middle west and the new president of the local organization (the university) that she may use to her administration, the ideas she gets from the meeting. The second amendment, is almost an absolute necessity for it is very nearly impossible to get two-thirds of the total enrollment of the women in school to vote at any election. For that reason, the proposed change will pass. The proposed change will meet with the sentiment of the women of the University who are really interested."

This plant grows wild in western Kansas and it usually runs a dead heat with the cockle burr to see which can spread the fastest. It doesn't need the weed or menting with the weed to see if it has a commercial value.
To Choose Soph Farce
"Something absolutely new in the farce line," is the promise of Don Burnett, director of the sophomore BMST course at Splendid 30 as a part of the Sobem Hop.
