UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XII.
HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS COME FOR TOURNAMENT
NUMBER 119.
Many Teams Will Arrive This Afternoon—Garden City First to Get in
SHOULD NOTIFY HAMILTON
Last year it was Lawrence. This year they gave them Kansas City, Kas, champions of the First District. So Mackville withdrew this morning leaving only forty-nine teams entered in the eighth annual basketball tournament which starts tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Oksklaoon, a late entry, will take Mackville's place on the quintet from the metropolis.
Manager Wants Coaches of Teams to Telephone Him Concerning Lodging Arrangements
To the Garden City boys goes the honor of being the first team to arrive for the tournament. The Westerners, under the protecting eye of Coach Duncan, the track captain arrived at 6:43 this morning. They are staying at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. The coaches of two other team will visit Sigma Alpha Epsilon this morning in advance of their players to get all arrangements settled. The Yates Center team will arrive on the Ottawa branch Santa Fe train at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The team will get in on Santa Fe No. 6 from the west at 5:40 today.
A serious problem is confronting the Athletic Association and particularly Manager W. O. Hamilton because the coaches and managers of some of the high schools have made their own arrangements about how to deal with the athletic association cares, for it relieves them of considerable work and worry but Coach Hamilton is now in a quandry as to what teams are making their own arrangements and which ones are expecting them. So if they are writing them, Coaches have written saying when they will arrive so it is practically impossible to know how many more teams the association will have to handle. As a result Mr. Hamilton is asking that all teams who have not written him to notify him as soon as they arrive telling where they are

EUROPEAN MASSES ARE OPPOSED TO THE WAR
NO PLACE IN SUN BY FIGHT
Force Does Not Bring Supremacy
Says Peace Worker Who Cites
Turkey and United States
"People in Europe had to be forced into fighting," said Dr. John Mez of the University of Pudilderbue at a club with international ties. Club at the Phi Gam house last night.
"There is no racial differences prompting this war, as far as the men fighting are concerned. British races and Latin races have been enemies seven centuries and now join in alliance. This war came from something more than a race battle, and a lack of civilization and a direct result of arguments.
"The masses of Germany, England, Russia and France want peace right now. Paris had large public meetings of workingmen demanding peace. In Berlin I saw 50,000 men congregate in the public park as a protest against the war being conducted by German countries. Chambers of commerce from German cities have sent petitions to the Reichstag demanding peace."
"You can't settle anything by force. After this war will come reasoning and then agreement. The fighting itself settles the dispute, it stands to the way of settlement."
Doctor Mex finds that the idea of settling disputes by force is fallacious.
In his speech in chapel yesterday afternoon, Doctor Mez asserted that war was not the path leading to national supremacy.
War Not Path to Supremacy
"Every nation wants a place in the sun," he said, "but war is the work way to get that place. If wars are secret of success, then Turkey which has had more wars than any other nation, ought to be the strongest, and the United States, with its little list of five wars ought to be the weakest
"The only reason men want wars is to make themselves safe from other nations. The present European war did not spring from any grave causes. It is the direct result of an armed peace.
HALF OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BREAK LAW
"You can't establish peace by armament. The United States and Canada have 3,800 miles of frontier with out a single fortification of any kind on the border and peace has prevailed. But Europe, with heavy fortifications over its boundary, plunges into war on the slightest provocation.
MekEEVER PLEASED BY
CHILD-WELFARE MEET
"The Child-Welfare Institute has been a remarkable success in every way this year and beyond expectations. There have been over a hundred representatives in the meetings, and the interest shown by everyone has been overwhelming." The meetings have been better than ever before," said Prof. W. A. McKeever at the close of this morning's meeting.
The regular weekly meeting of the Mechanical Engineers' Society will be held tonight at 7 o'clock at the home of A. P. H. Shu, 1122 Ohio street, Cincinnati, where the engineer will give a magazine report and Forrest Jones, senior Engineer, will talk on the subject of "Crude Oil Transportation." The Mechanicals will discuss plans and arrangements for the annual Engineers' Day, April 23.
Mechanicals Meet
The Institute will close with this afternoon's meeting.
The Sachems, the honorary senior society, appointed a committee last month to establish a student council on the proposed change in government. They also appointed a committee to arrange stunts for commencement week. The commencement committee is composed of Leon Schwartz (center), Ralph Sproull and William Morrow.
The Christian Endover Society of the Pressbyterian church will give an egg social at the church tomorrow. Presbyterian students are invited.

Statute Regarding Defacement of Buildings Would Catch K. U. if Enforced
PROF. E. HAWORTH PROTESTS
Objects to Marking Chairs—Thinks Students Ought to Take Care of Property
That a rigorous crusade against the defaulency of University buildings and property should be started, is the opinion of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, state geologist, and other members of the faculty. According to Professor Haworth, one-half of the student body would be liable to arrest and fine if the law regarding the defacing of buildings was strictly enforced. In the case of the matter the problem is a task for the upperclassmen to solve by setting examples for the new men that come here each year.
Penel marks and knife carvings on the chairs in all the buildings, initials, most prominent on the front of Fraser Hall, and the manner in which specimens in the Museum have been defaced or a skeleton of the crises were in school now and of those who have gone before. Another instance is the mass of calcite from the Joplin mine valued by Professor Haworth at one hundred dollars, which used to stand uncovered in the exhibit room in Haworth Hall. Being of soft composition, their initials on it and to prevent its further defacement, it was encased at a cost of twenty-five dollars.
Even Profs Do It
"The students, I feel safe in asserting," said professor Haworth, today, "serach up their chairs and throw ink on the floor unconsciously. Students who are not only the students are not the only ones gully of this misdemeanor. I have often noticed, at faculty meetings, members of that body sit in their chairs and without thinking what they are going to scratch on the a-arm of their chairs."
Prof. Goldwin Goldamith, of the department of architectural engineering, shares the same opinion and ranks the students who defaces the building with a caress level with the careless ones who litter up the campus with trash. "It all centers around the question of fair play," said the architect. "The students of the University have by their predecessors and have no right in the world to mark up the buildings or destroy the property for their successors." In Professor Goldamith's opinion the practice of marking buildings as a matter of carelessness of habit which can be either formed or broken in college. "In substantiating his point, he cited the faculty members who unconsciously mark up the chairs as a use of a habitat formed in their college days.
Many other state schools have strict enforcement of all laws on this matter. By a faculty ruling at the Michigan School of Education, a judge can order an ink on the floor of any building in finden a certain amount. Any student whose name is found written any place on the campus is expelled from school unless he proves to the judge that he has done so. This then works with success there.
Can't Mark at Michigan
Ray Folks, alternate guard with Kaiser on this year's Missouri Valley championship K. U. basketball team, was selected Tuesday night to lead the 1914 squad at a meeting held at Coach Hamilton's home.
FOLKS SELECTED TO LEAD JAYHAWK FIVE
Basketball K's were awarded to the following seven Varsity men: Captain Dunnme, Sproull, Weaver, Sorensen, Appel, Folks, and Kaiser. The latter three men will be the only 1915 regulars to return to school next year.

FARCE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Members of Cast are Working Hard for Junior Sketch
Rehearsing for a play is a great deal of fun as well as a great deal of work; and just at present the memoirs we have read are experiencing a strong dose of both. With the Junior Prom only sixteen days away, every opportunity for rehearsal is being taken advantage of, which means three times a week for practice.
The lines of "A Letter of Introduction" are clever, and as the cast has the play committed, rehearsals now are devoted solely to polishing them. The play will have about thirty-five minutes. There are six people in the cast.
BIG SISTERS WILL CARE FOR H.S. GIRLS
Plan to Work in Groups With Visiting Basketball
Teams
Now is the time for every Big Sister to come to the aid of her captain and incidentally to the aid of Doctor Goetz. Starting at 1 o'clock today and from then on as long as there is a visiting high school girl in Lawrence the Big Sisters are needed to help care for them.
The plan as Doctor Goetz has worked out is like this. The girls will work in groups under some one captain. Their business will be to keep some certain team under supervision all the time. This means they must go with them to their meals, down town for a lunch or dinner at the high school girls may want to go; so they won't think they are strangers in a strange place.
At night the Big Sisters will help them find amusement—and insist on the 10:30 rule—and can stay with the gym. If they want to have lots of fun.
These groups will work in relays and each girl who is willing to help out should sign up the hours in which she can be depended upon to care for some of the visitors. If there are any who have not signed up as yet and want to help they should notify their captain or Doctor Goetz.
COMEDY IN DRAMATIC PLAY
"The Man From Home" has humor
situation to Present April 14
"Comedy plus" is the way a press agent would characterize the plot and dialogue of "The Man From Home," the Dramatic Club play to be presented at the Bowersock on April 14. A mixture of quaint storytelling with numerous "situations" combine to make the story a most charming one.
The plot is concerned with the adventures of an American heiress in foreign lands, among various and sundry sisters for her hand. Then the "Man from Paris" appears. There is a peculiarly funny scene at one point, when a nobleman says that he might marry the heroine for $750,000.
"Seven-hundred-fifty thousand dollars for that?" inquires the man from home. "What do they charge for a real man over here?"
And thus the sturdy American lawyer shows up the fine flower of Europe to his lady-love, until she and her three-fourth of a million are safely carried from the clutches of the foreign suitors.
