READY FOR "FOLLIES"
Elaborate Program Arranged for Tomorrow Night's Production in the Gym
DANCES TO BE A FEATURE
Mouri Instructor and Disciple of Dr. Goetz Will Appear
An Armenian dance, in native costume, will be one of the features of the k. U. Follies, to be given in Robinson gymnasium tomorrow night at 8:15 for the benefit of the Armenian dance group. Baskets by Miss Cavalery, of the University of Missouri, an instructor in dancing who is especially proficient in the rendition of national folk dances. Miss Cavalery will come to Lawrence on May 3rd for her appearance at Columbia brought forth much favorable comment.
The University band will play for the Follies, and the Glee Club will appear in two numbers. Lorenz's gym will be a first-rate series of tumbling stunts, one of which is a true hair-raiser, according to those who have witnessed practice. James Butin, of whistling fame, who was a pioneer in circus circuits, will appear in two solos.
Other dancing numbers, all in costume, by students of Dr. Alice Goetz, promise to be equally interesting. Helen Clark and Beryl Motte will appear in the dance workshop at Nelson, Vivian Bretterson, Dorothy Cole, and Verra Whitcher, will give the Spanish La Paloma in the costume of the Mexican senoritas. The Pierrette Pierrot, by Helen Topping and James McIntosh, will attend a university public, promises to be one of the best attractions on the program.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray's dramatic art class will give a farce, "Feed the Brute," lasting 25 minutes, which according to the promise of the director, will equal in skill of execution the much-dual "The cast" that includes Florence Dunnigan, Harold Lyle, and Ethel Dunnigan.
The date rule is suspended.
Tickets, which cost 25 and 35 cents, are on sale at the office of the registrar, and at the Round Corner drug store down town. Tags sold during enrollment may be reserved at the registrar's office. The sale has been heavy, and the committee expects a packed house.
Contributions to the Armenian relief fund reached $328.50 this noon, according to figures given out by Registrar George O. Foster. A total of 77 have contributed, making an average donation of $4.27.
CROWD AT EXCHANGE
MAKES GOOD BUSINESS
Additional contributors are: L. Batty, G. E. Coghill, S. J. Crumbain, P. V. Faragher, W. E. W Hawkins, Anna Leanard, W. E. Osburn, G. E. Utumn, E. Elkman, Eileen Woolf, Amia Stanton, John Sandwull, Olin Templin, Merle Thorpe, H. C. Thurnau, G. N. Watson, and M. T. Sudler.
"All sorts of business," is the way Manager Neal Ireland put it. He has stopped worrying about whether the exchange will succeed or not and has begun to wonder if he will ever get to his classes.
Student Book Exchange sales ran close to the two hundred dollar mark yesterday and business is still increasing. Good books are being sold for about half price and crowds of students are about the window constantly, buying, selling or exchanging texts.
The Exchange is shy on several texts and it is not too late to take up any of the following as many students are waiting for them to come in. "Election" (2016) is a messaging ("Tariff History," Ogen's "Psychology," and Blackman's "Sociology."
There is an over supply of the following books on hand at the Exchange: Fullerton's "Philosophy"; Price's "Sanitation"; Brown and Barnes' English Books; Blaise Atkinson's "English Business" Books; Atkinson's "College Botany" and a number of German, French, and Spanish texts.
Those who have inquiries to make at the Book Exchange may do so by calling 195 Bell. After today the business will slacken somewhat but the manager expects a brisk trade for the remainder of this week.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 1, 1916.
MISS TARBELL HAS TO
CANCEL LAWRENCE SPEECH
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, who was to visit K. U. the first part of this month, has been forced to cancel not only her engagement to speak in Lawrence, but also her whole western tour. This is due to the error in arrangement of her western manager who had booked her for lectures for the same evening in cities over one month, and her western trip would have brought her to Kansas City and Lawrence where she was to address the student body.
FOOTBALL MEN TEACH
IN LAWRENCE H.
Walter Wood, quarterback on the Varsity team for the ast two years, will be athletic instructor for the freshmen boys of the Lawrence high school. He will begin his duties with the present semester.
Wilard Burton, also a member of the football team has a position in the same school. He is manager of athletics, coach of the football team and teacher of the faculty. Burton has two classes each day in elementary algebra.
“HANK” MALOY BACK
D. Henry Maloy, the Daily Kansas cartoonist of three years ago, and whose cartoons have been often reprinted, has returned to Mount Oread to take his master's degree in journalism. His thesis in journalism will deal with the cartoon and the newspaper, "Hank" will again furnish sketches of college life on the K. U. students.
Daily Kansan Cartoonis Will Again Draw Pictures of K. U. Life
Maloy, like the wandering Jew, has pitched his tents in many cities and villages since the June of 1914. Most of his time has been with a chauquaqua circuit as an advertiser and during the latter part of the two years as superintendent of the tent men.
"I didn't mind the advertising," said Henry Maloy, "but I couldn't stand the frequent summer rains. I stayed with the circuit life until I became sick of the rain, which said was caused by storms and went to Milwaukee. I secured a good position there.
"It was making shrapnel shells for the Allies. I was holding down a position of keeping tab of all the shells manufactured and I liked them. One found out where I was through my parents in Eureka, Kanaas."
Maloy went back to the Lyecom circuit for the summer as superintendent of tent men and remained there until the last winter. "Hank" liked cartooning best and for this reason went to Chicago where he hoped to secure a position with one of the metropolitan newspapers. He had several newspapers printed in Chicago that Maloy began to haunt libraries and read "highbrow literature."
"I always refused to read the good literature or even the text books while in school, but since leaving school I have been said maloy." Just at present I'm reading Blackmar's Elements of Sociology.
START FLAG FORECASTS
FROM FRASER TOMORROW
The service of the United States weather forecasts will be inaugurated here tomorrow morning when flags are displayed for the next twenty-four hours will be hoisted from the flag pole on Fraser Hall. The flags have been received and all arrangements for startling the system were made today.
The forecast will be received at the Kansan office about nine o'clock every morning by wire and the flags indicating the predictions hospital staff may man under the supervision of John M. Sha, superintendent of grounds.
A black flag indicates the temperature predictions, if above one of the other flags, warmer temperature is indicated, if below, colder.
A white flag alone indicates fair weather.
a blue flag alone indicates rain or snow
A white flag with a black center indicates a cold wave.
Including the ninety-four who have already registered for the second semester and those who are expected to register today and the rest of the week, Registrar Foster expressed the opinion this morning that the school would probably reach three thousand.
A blue and white flag indicates local rain or snow.
ENROLLMENT OF 3000 IS
PREDICTION OF REGISTRAR
Of the ninety-four who have registered for the second semester seventy-three registered yesterday. This number will be counted for work towards a master's degree, and twenty-seven were transfers from other schools.
The Political Science department at the University of Minnesota will offer a new course next semester, dealing with the present government and politics of Great Britain. The official title of the course will be "Government and Politics of the British Empire".
Dean Kelly Believes Students Should Try to Get Degree in Three Years
FINISH EARLY, HE SAYS PEACE DELEGATE BACK
Dean F. E. Kelly, of the School of Education, addressing the alumni through this month's issue of the Nebraska newsletter indicates the three year college course.
The Summer Session has been extended from nine weeks to ten, allowing students to secure ten credits or exactly one-third of the year's work. In three years' attendance at sum or Sessions one full year of college sort; is eliminated, giving the student a quarter of the year, if a student continues work.
"No longer do we believe that students should wear themselves out physically by the nine months session in college so as to require three months of recuperation. Students should be in school every day in fact, that college course pursued at the expense of the health of the individual is unwise."
Since the first requirement of a proper college education is that the health should be safeguarded throughout the period of attendance and since the years of college life stretch out very trying for many students, particularly those who pursue a professional career after completing the four year college course, it seems that many students are forced to spend nine months out of twelve," writes Dean Kelly. "Why not attend the regular summer session, thus shortening the course by one year?"
"It has never been demonstrated that it is a wise tradition either from a health or from an educational point of view, and certainly it is unwise from an economic point of view to regard the custom of attending school nine months out of twelve, as largely a matter of tradition.
Polytechnic of Kansas City Fell a Victim to Second-String Men
THE SCRUBS WON A GAME
Coach Hamilton took a bunch of scrubs to Kansas City Saturday night for a game with the Polytechnic Institute, where he brought back the long end of a 34 to 15 score. The scrubs showed up in good form and looked as if they would succeed.
Kansas played the Kansas City school on the K. U., court early in the season and the game was a walk away for the Jayhawkers. The regulars had to make up for the seem to have hit a better stride since their Lawrence trip and the scrubs also hit a better gait away from home than they do at home. In fact, Hamilton was pleased with their showing and one of them in Friar's night's battle.
The Juniors started out with a spurt which looked as though they were going to hold the Kansans to a small score. But the spurt did not last long for Kansas ended the first half 14 to 10. After that the goals of Kansans and the Kansasians assisted the score beyond reach of the Techs. This gave the Kansans a score of 21 points in the last half compared with the 5 Techs points.
Four seniors in the department of journalism will go to Coffeyville next week to cover the convention of the Southeast Kansas Teachers' Association, which meets February 3 at the North Carolina State University in the Kansas City and Topoca papers and probably by the Iola, Chanute, Parsons and Pittsburgh papers.
JOURNALISM SENIORS TO COVER TEACHERS' MEETING
The seniors in journalism made a trip of a similar nature to Topeka in November, and wrote the news stories. They are members of the Stute Teachers' convention.
Name Play Winner Good
"The winner of the prize drama contest announced the last of this week" said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, chairman of the committee this morning. "The committee will finish reading and considering the nine plays which were sumbited this week and the winner will be made known the first of next week at the latest."
The officers of the association meet peacefully 3,000 visitors and have arranged a program with many notated speakers. Some of the speakers will address the state will be Keller, Prof. Angelo Scott, of the University of Oklahoma, Prof. M. V.O'Shea, of the University of Wisconsin, and Prof. S. H. Clark, of Chicago. Several men from the state institutions are also on the program.

Utah State college has a new science building, a modern three-story brick fireproof structure erected at a cost of ?60,000. The first floor will serve as a home for physics, the second for chemistry and the third for the bacteriology department.
Kenneth Pringle Returned Yesterday from Trip to European Non-Biligere Capitalts
Kenneth Pringle, the Henry Forde delegate to Europe from the University of Kansas, arrived in Lawrence last night and says that his trip to Europe has been like taking a whole month of existence out of his life so far as American current history is concerned. He is the first boss as to be present status of the affairs in the United States.
"I feel g'lad to get back again to my native land," said Kenneth Pringle this morning. "I have certainly gained much in instruction and do not at all regret taking the time of from my school work to go with Henry Ford to attempt some arrangements whereby peace might be brought to the war world, whereby a widespread settlement of international disputes might be had."
Pringle does not feel in the least that the expedition has been a failure as the delegates did not expect to accomplish all that has been contributed to them. The effort has resulted in the organization of a more permanent organization of one of the non-warring countries of Europe and America. The Ford delegates had hoped to secure recognition from the United States Government to make the after-meetings official and thus to secure recognition from the governments of Europe. The delegates have selected at last the Quebec and working on plans which Pringle expects will result in something more definite.
"As to the trip through Europe," said Pringle, "it was most enjoyable and exciting. We were on the move all the time. On the way over on the Oscar-winning show three times each day. We had a number of reporters with us and many of them made efforts to secure sensational news for their newspapers, and it was thus that many of the insignificant differences of opinions were written up in his this country as serious disputes.
"The students of Europe treat us royally. Everywhere we were met and entertained with banquets and public meetings. During the week's stop in the public meetings were permitted by the police. The German consul at Copenhagen arranged our pass ports through Germany and there was little or no trouble from the trip in which we were not allowed to touch German soil during travel across the Empire to Holland."
On the trip home from Europe the ship was stopped by a submarine at Deal, but few of the passengers saw the U-boat. The ship was neld for a day at Deal and the officers were taken off the latter place all mail was taken on by the British officers and personal letters were also taken from the passengers, unless they opened their mail for the inspection of the officin's. The officer's censorship has closed down so that very little news goes through.
"All the news from this land," said Pringle, "was over a month old and we received the late news only through interpreters. Most everything happened in Japan since leaving is news to me even though it is late."
After touching at Saint John for coal the Noordam Steamship, on which the thirty-one students were returning to the United States, came to New York and from here Pringle came direct to Lawrence that he might arrive in time to enroll for the second semester of school.
MEN OF PROMINENCE AT STATE Y. M. CONVENTION
men of national prominence in Y. M. C. A. work from New York, Chicago, and other cities will address the State Convention of Young Men's Christian City, Kansas, February 3 to 6. Among them are: Dr. Alan A. Stocklede of Toledo, Ohio; Harry L. Heinzeman of Chicago; and Dr. Goe. J. Fisher, Dr. John Brown, Arthur N. Johnson, and J. M. Clinton, all of New York.

Those who have signed are: Ewart Plank, W. D. Stainhaur, Charles Fowler, William Griffith, J. B. Dall, R. R. Smith, Walter Wood, and Otis Burns.

HEALTH SERVICE ISSUES
PAMPHLET FOR STUDENTS
The University Health Service has been established for the purpose of safeguarding the health of the students. To accomplish this, its activities are carried on along three general lines; education through lectures, publications and courses; supervision to the student's environment both on and off the campus, and personal examination and advice.
a 'students' health bulletin in pamphlet form, published by the University of Kansas Health School to the students yesterday at enrollment.
The booklet contains general information regarding the hospital and dispensary, rules for University sanitation, list of health officers, for rooming and boarding houses, and healthy hints.
STUDENTS COASTING ON GOLF LINKS
Opportunities for coating on the campus were made use of yesterday to while away the time until hard work and study began again. Nor was the activity confined to coating, for there were several men out with skis last night until about midnight. Evidently the students who like to coast have a more wholesome fear of the activities of the police department than those who were out to the court or in school. They said today that they had received thus far no complaints of students coating on the streets.
Several parties were out with sleds on the point of the Hifl north of North Administration building and North both yesterday afternoon and last night.

A long life may not be good enough
long enough — Poor Richard's Almine.
THE FOLLIES ARRIVE
Even in the ordinary town of three thousand inhabitants, a home talent performance always excites the highest interest. So it is that in this University community of ours with 3,000 or more inhabitants—with the undoubted talent that is always present in an institution of this standing,—the K. U. Follies are attracting the
—the K. U, Follies are attracting the highest interest.
The best of the talent in the University is on the program, and the rare opportunity of hearing it all on one evening will prove one of the biggest drawing cards that has been offered at the University this year.
The program is to consist of singing, instrumental music, whistling, dancing and many surprise attractions. Even a press agent would have to force his vocabulary to the utmost to find enough words to describe adequately the brilliant array of talent that will be on the program tomorrow night.
Not the least of the attractions of the evening will be the satisfaction of knowing where the gate receipts go. No worthier cause could be desired than the helping of the Armenians, that nation that has suffered most of all of the innocent bystanders caught in the warring maclstrom. This is the whole purpose of the entertainment and every student who passes in his little mite may well feel that he has done an act that he will be thankful for.
When an evening's entertainment of the caliber of that offered tomorrow night, with the added opportunity of helping in an unusually just cause, is presented to the students of the University of Kansas, they never turn it down.
CLASSICS COMPROMISE
Teachers of the Classics have been forced to accept a compromise, says Meyer Cohn in the current issue of the New Republic. Under the old classical standard, says the author, the undergraduate was given a smattering of the ancient Greek, which he was supposed to absorb, and, becoming interested, to continue after he had finished his literal third-rate translations. But instead of wondering what the fate of Penelope was, or what happened in Homer's Odyssey the student wearily throws aside his Greek book for a more interesting story written in the English as soon as his course is finished.
How much more natural it is for the gleaner after Greek philosophy, Greek history, Greek literature, to take a free translation, done by a master of the English language. With no Greek abitives, no subjunctives, no unrecognizable idioms, the student really enjoys Chapman's Homer, or the Odyssey. Where before he spent weary hours deciphering the
journeys of Homer at thirty lines an hour he may now get the sutle beauties of a really good translation. The Greek drama, in the translation, may be read and appreciated. An acquaintance with Aristophanes, with Sophocles, with Oedipus, with Euripides may be bad without the heart-rending caused by an attempt at a free and easy understanding of the original Greek.
Not that the study of the Greek need be neglected, but by the study of the Classical in the translation, the student is able to obtain a real understanding of the general tendency of the original, without losing its smoothness and ease, in a maze of mystifying rules of syntax and grammar.
FIRESIDE CRITICS
Ever since the University of Kansas was founded it has been the object of argument and discussion. Every land its characters who still live in the period of their youth and cannot understand why things are not run as they were a half century or so ago. Kansas is no exception.
When in Perkins's drug store Smith's barber shop and Brown's general store and post office they gather to criticize present day conditions, the University is not forgotten.
The University, being a state institution, run on state funds, is open to public criticism. That is a good thing as long as such criticism is constructive and when the people who make it are prepared to talk on the subject with intelligence.
It is a sad thing that the unthinking as well as the thinking people may criticize this institution. The "fire side" critics are the ones that do the harm. People who have never visited the school, know nothing of the work it is doing, think of it only as a place where young people gather to spend money and learn to dance and drink tea and who imagine that they are paying many more dollars in taxes because the University exists, insist on being heard. They are the ones who, through their ignorance, are hindering the best interest of an institution that has done more for the state than any other one thing.
Critics ask in loud voices why the institution does not educate a greater number of students and it is these same critics that are instrumental in cutting down the appropriations for the school to such an extent that they are inadequate to provide for the education and comfort of the small per cent of students who are here. Still people ask, "why does not the University have a larger enrollment?" Rather incongruous is it not?
THE THRILL OF THE POTATO
"The proof that I am able to do anything so worth while as to raise a potato never fails to thrill me." The statement doesn't sound like Ida M. Tarbell, business investigator and journalist, but she said it and moreover, she does this same "raising of a potato" and gets the thrill on a little farm in Connecticut, and has done it for years.
The farm, she says, she bought for a plaything and now uses it as a substitute for summer resorts with interesting and enjoyable results. She owns a horse, some chickens and even a cow. She makes preserves and jelly with as much skill and apparent joy as she writes her illuminating articles on what she has observed of business conditions. Her results in farming are as happy as her happy conclusion concerning business, that "any industry or commercial undertaking can be a real success only when it pays dividends in dollars and cents and in personal satisfaction and human happiness." In short, she likes the farm, likes its restfulness, likes its work and its rewards, likes to get back to the soil.
And we like her the better when we know this purely human side of "one of the foremost journalists of the day." We like her the better because such knowledge brings us together on common ground.
Hudson Maxim, the millionaire inventor and manufacturer of manitions, sends out another statement that he is not in agreement with Mr. Maxim, let it be understood, is in the business of sending out statements concerning the defenselessness of America, merely for the good of his own sake, that has nothing to gain himself, oh no.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be strenued an elderder of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
The pitiful fact concerned with preparation by the United States, is that just such men as Hudson Maxim reap the benefits. The United States has the brains, the capacity to build and equip as great an army as the French or any savvy courser in the world, by spending the same amount of money.
Instead, we put as much money into our "pitiful little army" as Maxim calls it, as Germany does into hers. What have we in comparison? Who is to blame? Who is as manipulative patriotic and wished to help the country it would hardly seem so bad, but instead they bleed the government.
The steel manufacturers are for a big navy, and they are for it strong; It will mean a market for their steel plate after the present war is over. The manufacturers of powder, of guns, of shoes, of the necessities of war, of population and of the United States, for they must have a market after the present war is over, and the war orders have been filled.

MONTANA BAND MAY ADOPT
PRACTICE SYSTEM USED HERI
At the University of Montana efforts are being made to secure gym credit for the members of the band in order to stimulate an interest in the band and to swell the attendance at the practices which has been dwindling under the come-as-youplease system. They have only to look to K. U. for an example of what such a step would mean.
Here the members of the first band are excused from gym entirely and members of the second band take gym but once a week and receive full credit. In order to secure this credit, the players must have a certain percentage of attendance at the practices during the year.
and the result is that K. U. has a band that it can well be proud of. Some fifty players formed "Ke" on field during football season and raised "Hook" and "Crissman and the Blue" above the cheering of the crowd.

CORA G. LEWIS WOULD
ELIMINATE RAGTIME MUSIC
Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley,
Kansas, a member of the state board
of administration, advocates a strict
censorship of moving picture music
just like that applied to the films.
Mrs. Lewis in explaining the plan before the Women's Improvement Club said, "More censors would mean more expense but if they were the right kind of censors, the attendance and picture theaters would be larger and would not object because they would be getting something in return.
"How can we expect fathers and mothers, especially the fathers, to become interested in music?" quiesed Mrs. Lewis, "when they hear the average ragtime, they will not listen to argument that their children should be taught good music in grade school; they should start the children in the subject of music just we do in reading, writing and arithmetic."
Mrs. Lewis expects to place the censorship proposition before the legislature.
BEHIND THE SCREEN
The Little Dark Lady Tells How the Movies Get Your Dime —And Why
It may cost two thousand dollars or it may cost a million or any amount between—that film which you see for a dime. It all depends on how many automobiles must be demolished, how much money will be spent to build buildings must be bled up—just to amuse you, and perhaps to make you shed a tear surreptitiously, if you haven't learned to say, "It's only a picture"; or to make you checkle with attention at the clever thwarting of the villain; or to long to rescue the victim—
But, don't be sentimental! "It's only a picture." At least, that's what the Little Dark Lady says about it; and she adds, "The cost of the production of a film depends on somewhat on how much your favorite star may denote. We often shine it while to shine in any particular production. The place of the staging of the play also has a bearing on the cost. Some of the films are made in Jamaica, some in California, some in Australia. All places. California scenery makes good backgrounds; and most of our films come from California."
THE LITTLE DARK LADY TALKS So the Little Dark Lady, who is really Mrs. Ware, wife of L. L. Ware, owned a room in the theatre, story of the films and the theatre between such interruptions as, "How many, please?"—complaints from the pianist that the curtain had fallen down, leaving his luminous cranium exposed to the gaze of the unkind publisher, charlie "here today?"—and the clack, back of the change, as it was defly taken from the holder and passed out.
"Last May," continued Ware, Mrs. as she hung up the telephone receiver, "our theatre was destroyed by fire. We rebuilt during the summer, and opened again in August—Yes, the show is five cents for children, in the afternoon. Two?" Thank you!" the decorations, Mr. Ware and I made several trips to Kansas City, and visited the picture show theaters to get an idea for the decorations and the colors. We finally adapted for our use, the color scheme of the Royal; and after simplifying and eliminating the more pretentious features, worked out our decorations. But we have air brush work in the decorations on our walls. When the work is finer than the work in the Royal, the green and tan and brown and the simple, pleasing designs, are all very harmonious, and I think we have a right to be proud of the result."
WHAT MAKES A GOOD PICTURE " prior to our acquiring the house, some two years ago," continued Mrs. Ware, "it was a valuable show; but was not well patronized because people were not well suited for the class of entertainment that the Pictures have been a much greater success, from a financial standpoint, and from the standpoint of satisfying the people." -Yes the people picture today. No, not any humor." -But you old lady with bright eyes didn't care for the 'war picture' with 'no humor,' so turned away.
"We have tried to bring to our people," went on the Little Dark Lady, "the things we believe will please them. We select our films with three stories in view: We demand a good story; we demand a good picture; and we believe that in a real commodity that the people are glad and willing to pay for if, we can give them the pictures that will please them. If they don't like a picture, they are disgusted, partly because of the mis-spent, but more because of the fact that they have wasted in looking at something that has failed to satisfy them.
We get our films from ten different film exchanges, which, all together, release about thirty productions a week. This gives us a large number to select from. If we don't select a movie, we don't ditions, it's our own fault; whereas, if we were on a circuit, we would have to take just what was sent us, and we might receive tragedy on a day set to immediately feature movies, or vice versa. Yes, we must recording our own films to being on a circuit. It enables us to plan our shows."
FEELING THE AUDIENCE'S PULSE "So you have regular days for certain kinds of pictures?" she was asked.
"Yes. -You see, we try to keep Thursday night for something in the nature of a classic; for even though we have the day before, we're rather tired with their week's end and they come down seeking relaxation—groups of the women and of men who are able to see something pretty good—and Saturday we reserve for humor."
"What governs you in chasing these rights?" asked the reporter.
"Well, different classes of people come on different days and their fingers get dirty. We keep our finger on the pulse of every body and thus we learn what they want."
"Does humor draw the largest crowds?" ventured the reporter.
Mrs. Ware shook her head. "Neither extreme humor nor extreme

WILL PLAY WASHINGTON
St. Louisans Have a Good Team And Expect a Victory Here This Week
Washington University of St. Louis comes to Lawrence this week to play a couple of games with Hamilton's hopefuls on Friday and Saturday nights. All Kansas people know about Washington is that they have a better team than usual and they expect to take a game or two from Kansas on this trip for the first time in a few years.
In spite of these two hard games at the last of the week the Jawahiers are going to have a mighty easy time of it this week. The staging of the team must be done in mage tonight and tomorrow night and up to the present time no provision has been made for practice on any court. However, goal shooting will be practiced at the regular time. But practice will be held on Thursday at 7 p.m., with a night so the regulars may be in good shape for the games after all.
No line-up would even be guessed at by Hamilton for the game Friday night. The Polytech game showed up the scrubs very favorably in Hamilton's eyes and he may run some of them into the game. This will depend on the score of the first half and the showings of the team this week.
Practices last week were heavy in spite of the quizzes and the prospects are brighter than they were before. The WKSS team with prowess easy for the Kansans on the K. U. court and Hamilton hopes to get the advantage of the Pikers on these two games. Scrimmage against the Pikers then made up most of the practices.

THE MOVIE STARS SANG TOGETHER
Returning again to the conversation, the Little Dark Lady discussed favorites. "Theta Bara, I believe is too dark," she said. Ethel Barrymore is wonderfully well liked and so is Marguerite Clark, but we find that, as a rule, the stars of the stage are not so successful as the regular film stars, because much of the charm and personality of the cast is lost. This and this is of course lost when they play for the 'movies.'
tragedy; rather a happy medium, which" but the end of the sentence was forever lost in a series of interruptions. "Maybe we were war picture today...Maybe the little boy wouldn't like to see it...There's lots of shooting."
"Beauty is indispensable to the film star; and because Marguerite Clark has beauty, she is one of the stage actors who made a real success as a 'movie' star.

Good Showing in Tryouts Yesterday for Normal Meet Prospects Rosier
Some neat little races were staged yesterday afternoon in the first tryout for the track team this year and the prospects for a good team seem to take a roster form. Regular tryouts for the Normal meet were held events and the results it all were fairly satisfactory to the coaches.
The sprinters made a fairly good showing but not equal to that of the runners on the upstairs track. Nine sprinters worked on the boards on the basketball floor and made the thirty yard dash in good time. Davidson, a new man for the Varsity squad, shuffled up well on the draft from all-comers. Cress and Grutzmacher ran Davidson a close race for the first honors. Grutzmacher made his letter in the bread jump last year, but since this event does not come in the indoor meet, he is trying to land a different jowil until the outdoor season starts. If he keeps up the pace he set yesterday day into doubleday, a great deal at job. Other men making good showings in the sprints were Wood, Elmore, Reber, Moss, Yekum and Noel.
The quarter mile brought out the condition of the relay team that will have to face the Normals. Rodkey, as usual, had little trouble in winning this event although he tied the record in doing it. He will doublet be the mainstay on Hamilton's quartet again this year. Campbell, a novice, has been coming out strong of late and looks good for a berth on the relay squad. Pike, Elliott and position will get the other two relay positions unless O'Leary comes out with a good showing. In that case competition will be a little keener and a faster relay squad may be seen as a result.
MILERS SHOW UP WELL
The mile run brought out four good milers for Hamilton's squad, Grady, Sproull, Herriott and Howland were the bright spots in this race which was won by Sproull in the best mile time that has been made this year. But his victory was only by inches as Grady followed close on the right side of the finish and a but won at the finish. Herriott and Howland finished two to four seconds later in good shape.
The high jump and shot put were not contested very hard and no great showings were made. Captain Jake Tinker will be the one in the weights although neither one is showing his usual mid-season form this early in the game, Treweke won the high jump with Miller a close second. But these men as well would win the high jump if they had a better class of work to figure strongly in points of a meet.
HILTON OUT FOR TRACK
The enrolling of Willard Hilton for the second semester makes things look better for the dashes. Hilton showed up the upprocessor last year in the last masseum he first year man. He was not in school the first semester and for a while feared he would not be for the second but he surprised the "boys" by dropping in last night. He is eligible for Valley competition this spring.
On account of the stage and seats for the "K. U. Follies" being in place this afternoon the tryouts scheduled for Thursday afternoon. These events are the two hurdle races and the pole vault. There are likely to be some surprises in these two events if you know someone else is a good show to get away good.
Tomorrow afternoon the half mile and the two mile will be the main attractions. Many of the distance men who competed Monday at the 2014 U.S. Olympic and the fast competition is likely to cause some records to fall.
Coach Hamilton was fairly well pleased with the first day's tryouts but he wants more men out for the other two days. Enrolling doubleless made it difficult for some of the runners but Hamilton hopes to see a larger crowd out for the remainder of the tryouts.

STORMING THE WORLD
The train crawled along the racks and crowd surged around the rear platform. The University people present gave a "rock-chalk."
Perhaps it was "intellectual curiosity" which caused 4,500 people to assemble at the Santa Fe station this morning while the President of the United States was in town for exactly three minutes and forty-five seconds.
Mrs. Wilson stepped to the edge of the car's observation platform and smiled at the crowd. They cheered, and she waved back. Then the president himself came to the rail. Again the crowd cheered.
"Speech! Speech!" was the cry of the crowd.
The president leaned out over the railing.
NUMBER 85.
"You all know," he began, "what I came to say."
A cloud of steam rose from the air brakes below the floor of the platform. It rolled upward in front of the president, obscuring the crowd's
"Louder! Everybody keep quiet!" came from the crowd.
The steam continued to roll up from the brakes.
The crowd laughed.
"Don't think that this steam is hot air from the party," the president said.
"At any rate, I thank you all for come down here to greet me."
A spattering of cheers broke out. Suddenly the president crieled "How's the world?"
Some eight hundred loyal Jay-
hawkers assured him it was never
better. Somebody in the crowd called
the Hawks and told them to join
Senator Harris stood near the
platform. He crossed over and shook
hands with her. The Haskell Indian
cadets who stood at attention by the
trees pointed out at rest before them
"I don't need to talk to you people you're all prepared out here."
The crowd was silent.
"How's the thermometer this morning?" inquired the president as the train began to move. A chorus of answers, mingled with "good-bye" foated upward to him, and he took off his hat to the crowd as the train trod the trail. The thong responded with cheers and much wangling of hats.
WAS LARGE CROWD
The crowd that greeted the President and Mrs. Wilson was easily the largest local crowd in the history of Lawrence. Football crowds at Missouri and Nebraska games have been larger but never more enthusiastic than the four thousand who braved a cold temperature, and stood many minutes behind the snow to glimpse of the first man and woman of the land.
A class in general athletics for Harvard freshmen who are not candidates for any 1919 teams is being started. The class is intended to give an opportunity for exercise and development to men who are not out for any organized team. There is no expense attached to membership and the very best of coaching is afforded the members.
Kansan Corrects Statement
At eight o'clock—over an hour before the Presidential Special was scheduled to arrive—the multitude began pouring towards the Mecca—and the rush came between eight-thirty and nine, and the tardy ones who waited until the last minute—remembering the delay in other Presidential trains to the observation platform from which the Presidential party made its bow to Lawrence. - Hundreds who had waited from the first at the west end of the station got only a fleeting visit. Mr. Wilson as the train pulled out.
Kansan Corrects Statement

UNION'S SLATE CLEAN
Debt
The Student Union now has a clean slate. The debt of $102.05 was paid off this morning by the Student Council. Checks were mailed out by the secretary-treasurer, to down-town firm the Ballet Theater, and the last of the old Union indebtedness.
The following men were settled with:
Ecke Furniture Co., $5.054;
Griffin Ice Co., $4.22; Graeber Bros.
(constant, $0.85); J. W.
rump, $10.00.
DEBT LONG-STANDING
The Student Union debt dates back to last February when the doors were closed by creditors. U. S. G. Plank and J. R. Porter filed, fined an attachment suit for $240 against the furniture which had been stored in the basement of Fraser the night the Union was closed. The furniture had been turned over to Prof. William A. Reeves of the Alumni Association who held a mortgage on the property for $500.
Various means were resorted to by the Student Council to raise money to pay the debt. Dances were given, movies "were rented for two evenings.
Finally an agreement was reached with Mr. Plank, who discharged the suit and settled for $100. One hundred dollars was paid down and the Council agreed to each note for $5.00 agreeing to pay in thirty days.
RAISE MONEY WITH DANCES
The proceeds of dances and "movies" had reduced the debt to $102.05 when the present Student Council took up the task. The Council took up $18.00 of the football smoker, $18.00 on dances, cleared $22.00 on the last matinee dance. This, with the small balance on hand, was sufficient to clear up the last of the Student Union debt.
RAISE MONEY WITH DANCES
Investigation disclosed that this amount had been deposited in the savings department as the first endowment of the Student Union by Burton F. Sears, secretary-treasurer of the student governement body, June 9, 1911. The amounts received from amounts to $22.17 which was applied to the Student Council treasury and leaves the organization in a good financial condition and prospering.
The good fortune of the Student Council did not stop with the liquidation of this indebtedness, however. A group of people from People's State Bank, called up Prof. L. N. Flint and asked if the Student Union was still running and why there had been no call for a deposit that had been left there five years ago.

DIGHT E. E.S LAND JOBS
Will Begin Work in June at
Schemectady, N. Y.
Eight K.U. electrical engineers will find-places with the General Electric company, at Schenectady, N. Y., the largest electrical supply company in the United States, when they graduate next June, according to a letter just received by Prof. C. A. Shaad, of the School of Engineering, from the University of Montana Educational Committee" of the big concern. Last year the General Electric used but one K. U. man; two years ago, none at all.
"This shows how business is improving," said Professor Shaad this morning. "It shows that the electrical industry is expanding steadily and rapidly," correspondent Shaad. "It is one of the most encouragible bits of news I have had for a long time. Just think of it: fourteen men will graduate from our department next June; of these, more than already have jobs provided for them!"
The K. U. men will be put to work in the General Electric's mammoth manufacturing plant at Scheentachy in which over 14,000 men are employed. The air space alone covers fifty acres. The worker turns out more electrical supplies than any other concern in the United States, according to Professor Shaad.

The Mu Phi Epsilon sorority held an initiation Monday at the following pledges: Donty Bell, Helen Weed, Lois Risinger, Mirrum Merritt, Alta Smith, Margaret White and Eliseen Van Allen. After the initiation light refreshments were served. The new members then entertained with musical and dramatic numbers and a short farce.
Every year the company takes from three to four hundred graduates from the engineering schools of the United States into the plant, and promotes them to responsible positions as opportunity leaders. From two to four positions have been held.

TO COAST ON CAMPUS
hea Fromisses to Build Bridge Over Ravine so Students Can Slide on Hill
Prospects for a better place to coast on the campus loomed up big today when John M. Shea, superintendent of Harford County declared that he would be willing build a bridge across the ravine just north of the Hill if Coach Hamilton would give his permission to remove the fence surrounding Hampton field.
"I am willing to cooperate with Mr. Shea in any way that I can," said Coach Hamilton when the plan was explained to him today. "I shall raise no objection to the plan, on the contrary, will be glad to cooperate."
The proposed plan, if carried out, would mean a longer place to construe the campus and north of the Administration Building and across the ravine at the bottom.
Those who have been coasting on the campus up to the present time have been compelled to stop short at the foot of the hill for fear, of running into the ditch. With the ditch bridged wide enough to coast over the fence about Hamilton field removed this danger would be eliminated.
A danger sign has been posted at the southwest corner of Hamilton field warning coasters not to go into one dangerous place.
HAVINGHURST WINS IN ORATORICAL CONTEST
Clarendon Havinghurst, junior College, carried off first honors in the local context to determine who should represent Kansas in the State Contest for the 2016 Kansas State Peace Oratorical Association, which meets in Topeka on March 17. Among the five orations given at the tryout last Friday Havens was voted first by a committee composed of Chancellor Strong, F. R. Hamilton of the Extension Division, J. R. Holmes of the Farmers' and Life Insurance Co. of Lawrence, P. A. MacMurray, and Prof. H. Till.
STUDENTS ARE IgNORED
Thirteen colleges from over the state have held local contests to determine final contestants for the conference chosen as the best by these local polls. Topeka where a committee of three will choose from the thirteen six showing the best thought and composition. The six successful orations proceed before the meeting of the Association on St. Patrick's Day at Topeka.

University Senate Refuses Action on Two Undergraduate Dance Petitions
SOLONS REMAIN SILENT
K. U. Law-givers Have Nothing to Say—Rule Stands
THE WOMEN'S PLAN
We recommend that this resolution, together with the one passed by the University Senate, with the request that they be acted upon.
THE MEN'S PLAN
for the Senate.
We all respect committee or men's student organizations to treat them as members to the rules for closing rule, as being the wishes of governing rule, as being the wishes of organizational. All dances are with the exception of Saturday night close at twelve. There shall be no War. We remember that this resolution is meant for us.
We respectfully recommend that that you arrive on Friday at noon of hours of舞会 be allowed to read a book or watch TV on Friday night and at an o'clock on Saturday before the withclock, with the exceptions noted in the agenda.
Further, that if your body does not care to make the recommended change, the students be permitted to vote on the question.
Finally, that' the opinion of a similar conference of women students be ascertained and given *This rule allows formal parties*
*[This rule allows formal parties to last till two o'clock.—Ed.]*
The University Senate ignored two petitions from undergraduates regarding the closing hour of dances at its meeting yesterday afternoon. Nor will students be given a chance to vote on the question as they asked. One petition, presented by the men, asked that the closing hour be extended from midnight on Friday to one, and that formals be permitted to attend. Another petition asked that all dances be made to end at one, with no exceptions, except those on Saturday, which would of course close at twelve.
The rule, as it existed before the Senate met, and still exists, specifies that all dancing parties close at 12 o'clock, except the Junior Prom, the Sophomore Hop, the Law Scrim, and the Basketball Scrim, in organization, which shall close at two.
A SILENT SENATE
It was passed December 7, after a rinority report had been presented by Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of workmanagement made by other members of the Students' Interests Committee. It was also passed in violation of student sentiment, ascertained at a meeting called for that purpose; the recommendations in the majority report agreed with what the students asked.
Following the passage of this rule, a meeting of representatives of student organizations was called by Mrs. Lester. Following the vote on the rule, 40 voted overwhelming dissatisfaction with it, and voted to petition change. A similar meeting of women, called later, concurred in voting to approve the plan for the Senate's consideration.
Dissatisfaction with the rule resulted from the method of its passage, as much as in its content, and from the manner signified for compelling earlier closing.
When the petitions were read in Senate meeting yesterday, the faculty Solons maintained complete silence, until other business was taken up.
Chancellor Frank Strong was not present.
French Lecturer Coming
Mme. E. Guerin, a French lecturer will appear before the French Club February 17. The subject of the lecture is the French costumes of the aid is given in French with the aid lantern slides. Mme. Guerin will use the French costumes of Louis Fourteenth's time and explanations of the lecture will be given in Eng-
NEW LAWS GOVERNING
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS
The Chancellor's office is in receipt of a new code of laws governing the examinations for Rhodes Scholars. A few changes have been made in the course of the election of the future Rhodes Scholars who will enter Oxford College England. Instead of the examinations being held every three years they will be held in another institution and to make this system work out in Kansas next year.
Heretofore a student could hold but one scholarship but it is now possible for one student to serve as a graduate or, until or when he is twenty-five years old. If a candidate happens to fail in one examination he can compete the next year for the scholarship but it does not state where he received his education.
The Kanzane have pledged Sherwin Winkler's junior in the College, whose home is in Houston.

COME ON ALONG
"The date rule is off." Isn't that enough reason to make you want to go to the K. U. Follies tonight? If not, then remember the big vaudeville in Robinson Gymnasium is to raise money for a worthy cause.
Although there is poverty, want and sorrow in Armenia, there will be a sprightly, joyous, musical, comical entertainment held here tonight for the relief of these woeful conditions in European life.
Rarely does such a versatile and interesting program come to the University of Kansas combined with such a worthy cause.
If you were unable to get your tickets reserved at the Round Corner Drug Store, get them at the door. Your money will count for just as much.
IT'S A SHAME, BUT—
"Course number blankety blank, in the department of blank, is closed." boomed the announcer, through his big megaphone, which made him heard even above the noise of a K. U. enrollment, and the student who had been working for six solid hours to get a tentative course made out looked over her card to find that she must begin all over again since she had been unable to enroll before the classes had been filled.
To many students the closing of courses is a serious misfortune and a cause for grief, but a careful consideration of the ways of conducting a great University will make it apparent that there is no remedy for the difficulty. No professor can conduct a class of more than twenty, except in purely lecture courses, with any degree of success, and if the number is less than that the students will get more from the course, because the professor can give them personal attention.
It is manifestly impossible for any faculty man to get a personal knowledge of each student in a class of forty or fifty, and in many courses it is equally impossible for the student to get a thorough knowledge of the work unless he is given some personal attention. Hence let us have patience with the poor faculty people —closed courses are closed, after all, only for our own good.
LOOK WHO'S HERE!
They are all back again, Jinks and Jayhawk and Faculty man and even little Binki-dinki-saurus
No, they are not members of the Follies troupe. But they are all members of the University and the sparklers of the Daily Kansan.
After taking an active part in University life for several years they up and departed from our midst last year.
But they are all "back in our midst"
now, and on the job, ready to tickle the freshmen into fits and make even old, staid members of the faculty chortle with glee.
Welcome home, Jinks and Faeuty Man and Jayhawk and Rinki-dinki-saurus!
AT LAST
So we are to have a white way. A really great white way, with eight large milky lights on each side of the street from the bridge to the Court House. Fine! Fine!
But listen! Half of these lights are to burn all night. Just think of it.
No more will we lose our way as we go to the Post Office to mail that letter she is expecting the next morning. We admit it is all rank extravagance, but it is fine.
THANK YOU, KIND SIRS.
"What do you say to the kind gentleman?"
Everyone remembers the kindly promptings that fond parents used to give when "the kind gentleman" had just presented their pride and joy with a bright new penny.
The Student Council has given the student body a book exchange, which bids fair to be the precursor of a real cooperative book store some day. What is the student body to say?
"Thank you!"
The "thank you" will make the Student Council feel good, but the student body cannot stop at that. Whether or not the exchange becomes a real good to the students depends entirely on whether they give it generous support.
The exchange is operating under efficient management, and the interest already shown is encouraging. The number of Oreadites who have patronized the infant industry proves that it has come to stay.
Again we say, "thank you" and promise our support.
The announcement that one must have "three vacant inches on one's dome," before one can make the newly organized bald-headed frat, isn't quite right, according to a pessimistic K. professor who says there won't be enough students in this school to make a chapter. He suggests that the rule ought to be changed to ten vacant inches in the student's cranium. A big chapter at Kansas would result.
"The Huskers to Const."—Head line.
No objections, but there are loyal Kansens who hope that when the Huskers meet the Jayhawker football team next fall, they will find some "hard sledding."
Every day people are becoming more and more greedy, thinking only of themselves. And yet there are a few unselfish souls such as those whom we feel sure went to meet Pres. Wilson only that he might see them.
Up there in Montreal, Canada, at McGill University they do not believe in weather. Why, they even put the weather report under the head: "Probabilities."
It's nice over head these days but there are not very many people going that way.

FOUND IN A BOOK
The philosophical life was a spider's web—filmy threads of theory spun out of the inner consciousness—it touched the world only at certain chosen points of attachment. There was nothing firm, nothing substantia in it. You could look through it like a veil and see the real world lying behind. But the theist could see only the web which he had spun Knowing did not come by speculating theorizing. Knowing came by seeing Vision was the only real knowledge To see the world, the whole world as it really is, to look behind the scenes to read human life like a book, that was the glorious thing—most satisfying, divine—Henry Van Dyke.

From a chapter in an autobiography of S. S. McClure dealing with Knox College and his work there:
"PRACTICAL" EDUCATION
"A word about the college curriculum. Four-fifths of the students at Knox then took the old-fashioned classical course, in which Greek was obligatory. The next month she sounded preparation that a young man can have, and I felt feel that Greek was the most important of my studies. During the years that he reads and studies Greek a boy gets certain standards that he must meet after he has forgotten grammar and vocabulary.

glorified his entry.
"I enjoyed Greek and mathematics more than any other subjects I took at college, and Homer more than anything else we read in Greek. After I began Homer, I used always to give four hours to the preparation of the next day's lesson, 'my best study hour' too. Occasionally, I looked forward to those hours all day. I went so far as to write out a vocabulary of the first book of Homer, giving, with the help of Liddell and Scott and Curtius' Etymological Dictionary, the Latin, German, and English equivalent of each word. This exercise made the succeeding books easy reading. About Homer's Whitney's 'book on Language' and the Study of Language" and Trench's book "On Words," or a kind of new to me.
"Of college life in the sense in which it is now used, there was then none at Knox. There were no fraternities, no organized athletics, no student dances, no national club. All the students were earnest and most of them had had a hard time getting there. A boy's standing among the other boys depended entirely upon his scholarship, and every one like him did not take only three college studies at a time, and we had three one hour recitations a day. There was no sense of drive or hurry. On the contrary one felt that Knox college was a place set apart for boys to grow strong and confident. One felt no pull in the world there but a kind of monastic calm. In seven years I scarcely read a newspaper."
Columbia has established a School of Business which is to be organized on the same plane as the Schools of Law, Medicine, Engineering, etc. The course will lead to an appropr- tion for business and will be decided upon. Men and women will be admitted to the School on equal terms. Entrance will require two years of college work and completion of the course will require three years. Instruction in accounting, finance, business administration, transportation, real estate and insurance, foreign trade, secretarial work, the work of consular and diplomatic officers and other forms of public service, will be given. This is an exemplification of a statement made by the dean of the University is to serve the whole people, and constitutes its justification, if one considers a justification, necessary. Education is so general that teaching and similar professions can no longer use the output of the colleague formerly held and its management is a science. Reports showing the large number of business ventures which meet with failure are an eloquent plea for the necessity of recognizing the fact that it requires knowledge, training, and breadth of training and manpower to business of any magnitude with success. The apprentice system is too slow for modern methods and hardly appla- vable to big business, nor broadening enough in its results to compass the requirements that must form the foundation for a successful business.
I AM NOT AFRAID OF WORK! and want something to do to enable me to go to school, this semester. Although I am a skilled artisan, carrying a card in a national union, I will wash windows, do housework, dig a hole, and cook so that we are arranged so that I have from 12:30 to 5 o'clock open, and all day Saturday. Drop a card to E. H. care of the Kansan, or call K. U. 25.

RAISE $25.00 ON MEMORIAI
"Twenty-five cents, please," was the cry of nine members of the sophomore memorial committee during enrollment yesterday.
Sophomores Collect From Class mates While Enrolling
Hugh T. McGiness, chairman of the committee, said this morning that he was pleased with the amount collected in the few hours. "I also feel it is now," he went on, "that we can make the $50 which had hoped to go."
Twenty-five dollars was collected and it is believed by the committee members that they failed to collect from at least fifty per cent because the sophomores forgot to bring their money with them.
The members of the committee were Charlotte Kreek, who proved the wizard of the nine by collecting from city sophomores, Winona Yeomans, Linda Anderson, F. L. Feierabend, Lind Anderson, F. L. Feierabend, Fred Pausch, and Marion Joseph.

J. D. Bowersock Recalls Years When Politics Was King in "Bleeding Kansas"
"Few of you younger men will recall the old Bowersock Opera House, as it was known, and few of you, can know the importance of such a hall to the life of the early community," said Mr. J. D. Bowersock, when asked by a Kansan reporter for a story of the old opera house.

SIMON R. WHITE Bell Phone 191
Will exchange for farms
"To begin historically, the old building which stood in the place now occupied by the theater, was built for a meat market with a 'hall' above by Samuel Edwin Poole in 1869. The hall, known as Liberty Hall, was very popular for political and social gatherings; and because it was on the secrerity it soon won over its out one-competition team. It was situated on the third floor of the building just south of the Eldridge House.
"The old Liberty hall probably saw some stirring times," said the reporter
In 1882 I bought the old building, and added two, more stories, remodeling the whole for use as an opera house. In 1906, the copy of the opera house was used for a post office until the new federal building was finished in 1906. After the Lawrence Journal made its home on the ground floor, the building was dog- troyed by fire in 1911.
SAW STIRRING TIME
Mr. Bowersock's eyes flashed, and he bound forward in his chair. "Stirling," is the word, "he said with a vigor, but the words were few more interesting spots in Lawrence. In the formative days of Kansas, it was the scene of many a blazing war and feeling and blazed up with a curry of eration of Kansans have seen little of.
It was here that Anna Dickinson uttered those fiery ambition speeches that incited him to fight for the cause of the war. He would have spoken also spoke here; and Horace Goss had when he came to the bloody land of Kansas. General Sickles, who recently died in New York, talked in the Civil War. The poor general lived in his own good, but then he was a man of spirit and 'mental ability and had carried himself well during the war. He remember that when he became president still causing him trouble, and he covered his address sitting in his chair.
Robert J. Burdette lectured in the old hall, and John J. Ingalls made a political speech there. So did F. C. Pumroy or "Old Beans," whom theigrant Aid Society had sent out in 1852 to unite them in "Dry 60," later Dudley C. Haines launched his political career in that historic room. Then there were scores of other political meetings, at which there was no leader of note, but in which the Kansas men and women argued for great political issues, which likened most of those who debated them so earnestly, have died long since.
"But the existence of Liberty Hall had its lighter side. The men and women of that day could turn from the political verities and enjoy life in an easier fashion on occasion. The Hall was a social as well as a political center. Many a theatrical star, moreover, received there a measure of the inspiration and the training that steered him to success. The Opera House was Faye Templeton and company in the days when the Gilbert and Sullivan operas were at the height of a popularity that has never since waned.
THEATRICAL CELEBRITIES CAME
"Joe Howard started here, ann Nash Walker, Hale Hamilton, Frank Wade and Eva Brown. One does not fear so much about them since the adverts have been well up in the theatrical world. We were pretty proud of the list of stars who had played here; Lotta at one time at the head of the list; James Abbott, Louis James—many others and it was a great thing for Lawrence.
"Faye Templeton, a striking brunette, small and attractive." Here Mr. Bowersock's blue eyes twinkled. "She is still living," he added. "Rather fat, and way over forty. She glistr gloria mundi,——
"There were many University productions, too,-dramatic club plays, senior class plays, and plays by the various fraternities; but we still have these latter. They are not the same, though.
HEADQUARTERS FOR FRATTS
"The fratts used to make the opera house their headquarters; before they had their own, with matrons and other businessmen, fraternities had rooms in the building—the Betas, Sigma Chis; Phi Delta, Phi Gams, and one other that I can't recall making a lease for the Phi Gam room with "Billy" Morgan who was later lieutenant-governor.
offices in the building when he was general attorney for the new Union Pacific Railroad. The late Judge Barker also had rooms there.
"The late Judge Usher, who was Lincoln's secretary of interior, had
THE NEW ORDER IS BETTER
"The they will never cease to tug at the heart-strings of those of us who had a part in it. We are all content to know that you can take the place of the old for us, it is nevertheless better and more complete. So wargs the world away—if it is ever to get anywhere."
"But all these things have no part in lot of this generation." They are part.
THE NEW ORDER IS BETTER
"This is enough for one time, isn't it?"
And with a smile, Mr. Bowersock turned away to take up the thread of his big business again.
MONTH OF MEETINGS
Y. W. C. A. Will Celebrate Dur ing February the Founding of Association
Plans are being made by the Y. W.
C. A. of the University to keep February
as a month of commemoration and
celebration of the fifth anniversary
of the founding of the national Y. W.
C. A. The Haskell and the high
school associations will be asked to
join in the meetings.
The first of a large series of events planned for the month will be a banquet held in the gymnasium, to which all members will be invited to other events will be held at intervals during the day. One Sunday will be given over to talks on the work of the Y. W. C. A. by the pastors of churches throughout the state. A jubilee will be held at the Congregational church March 1. This commemoration and celebration will be conducted throughout the entire state.
The Y. W. State C. A. was founded at the Illinois State Normal School by Lydia Brown. The group of young people who met for prayer and Bible Study grew so large that the meetings were in private rooms as had been the case. The following year the organization was named the Young Women's Christian Association, and a constitution was modeled after that of the organization. The organization grew rapidly in the 1930s of its existence and now has 721 student organizations with a membership of 65,129.
The Y. W. C. A. is not confined to college organizations, nor to the United States. Many foreign countries are allied with that of this country.
WORMS READY FOR SPRING
Canker Insects Have Started to Ascend Trees For Leaves
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology, has noticed that within the last few warm days the canker worms that caused so much damage to the elm trees of Lawrence are again becoming active. Prof. Van advises that immediate steps be taken to prevent the ascent of the trees by the spider-like damselflies who are the ones that do the damage best method of doing this is to wrap the trees with cotton batting, being careful to fill in the cracks in the bark. Over this should be put a cover of tough tar paper, firmly tied with wire. This should in turn be covered with some sticky substance, as tar, or the "Tanglefoot made especially for this insect." The surface should be renewed every few days in order to keep the surface from becoming hard and affording a foot-hold for the insects that try to climb past it.
Professor Hunter has held several telephone conversations with Professor Dean of the Agricultural College and they have agreed that it is necessary to warn be sent out at once, if a preventive campaign is to be effected.
The insects will have finished their upward course on the trees by the first week in February, if the present warm weather keeps up, and unless the trees are looked after immediately the insects will have spread to all the branches in a few days.
The board of visitors of the University of Virginia has adopted a resolution recommending the establishment of a "college for white women," co-ordinate with the College of the University of Virginia, wherein men courses of instruction equal, though similarly the same as those given in the college of the state university for men."

WANT REFORMS MADE
Students at Baker University have made several suggestions to their faculty which K. U. undergraduates might send in to the honorable Senate moderators. The resolutions were adopted at chauel last week, they read as follows;
Baker Students Suggest Change in Exam System and Condemn Cribbing
We the students of Baker University, promise the faculty that we will be more consistent in our daily work, will be honest in all our class work, and our best to create a sentiment against all forms of cheating and cribbing.
But we believe that the only way to insure the success of this resolution is by the cooperation of faculty and students. Therefore, we ask that the faculty accept 'the following suggestions;
1. That the emphasis in grading be placed on daily work,
2. That an examination be given each month or periodically.
4. That the examination cover on12 important work emphasized in class (for the elimination of catch questions).
3. That the so-called final examination is merely the 'last period' examinations.
5. That a certain percentage of the semester grade be based upon daily work, and a certain percentage on examinations. (Proportion to be 2-3 on daily work and 1-3 on examinations.)
6. That the system of reporting time units in all departments be abolished.
7. That the quality of work in an departments be investigated and that each course in these departments be assigned a class at the beginning of each semester.
A committee of three was appointed to meet with the faculty to present, and

PRINGLE TALKS OF TRIP
Not a Pacifist But is Impressed by German Organization—Belgians Need Clothing
Kenneth Pringle, the returned Henry Ford delegate and president of the K. U. International Club Polly, was deeply impressed while abroad with the thorough organization of the German society and the no opinion as to his belief as to the outcome of the present war, but he feels that he has gained a great deal of helpful information concerning the European conditions from his conversations with officers and private soldiers from both the English and the German armies.
It was while on the closed train crossing German from Warmemunde to Bentheim that the K. U. delegate had been retired from active service on the French front and had won an iron cross for bravery. The officer talked freely in English with the delegates, who had been given the whole range of duties and were able to alight while passing through Germany. At one station the delegates passed a troop train carrying soldiers to the front and at another army station passing the border all of the delegate were transferred to a Dutch train.
The refuges that escaped into Holland and Denmark have been well cared for by the two governments, said Pringle. In both countries many rich Belgians are living at the hotels waiting until the close of the war. On board the Noordam coming to America, Belgian relief Commission who said that the Commission was now caring for six million people of the invaded kingdom and that there was plenty of food on hand, but the need of sufficient warm clothing was very urgent. "I was deeply impressed," said Krije van den Heuvel of the return trip, "by what was told me by Doctor Webster, an American who had been a court dentist in Berlin for the past nineteen years and was returning with his wife to America on our ship. He expressed the belief that the German government was prepared to deal from feeling the want of food. The German chemists have discovered means of making synthetic rubber and petroleum. Doctor Webster said that the taking over of the food supply was merely the installing of the German system of eliminating useless waste. Broth and milk are both unintentionally part of the government officials."
Doctor Webster said that all the supply of milk was turned over to the officials by the producers and then checked out by the people. The checking out of milk was so regulated by the age that the youngest children had first rights to the supply and the older children did not. Doctor Webster said that never as yet had been unable to secure all the milk that he desired.
BABIES COME FIRST
Pringle, who has spent the past six weeks constantly with other American students on the peace cruise, is not impressed by the question of preparedness. He says that he is not altogether in sympathy with the President's policy of more
preparedness. He points to the example of the warring powers which were prepared nations. Pringle feels that a nation that is not backed with a large army and navy will hesitate to declare war and will make greater efforts to settle the international disputes peaceably. He says that from 1945 until the end of World War II President Wilson entirely within his rights in urging this nation to lay plans for stronger defense, and that the Germans were generally of the opinion that Woodrow Wilson was playing his country into the hands of the Allied powers. Pringle says that he does not expect to win the K. U. International Polity Club over to the Peace propaganda, but rather to continue its study of both preparedness and commitment as a means toward world peace.
Pringle also became acquainted with George Edwards, who was a moving camera camera man from Tampa. He worked there and was in the employ of "Con" Squires.
Among the college delegates to Europe Pringle met Miss Nellie Reader of Wellesley, who is a native of Hays, Kansas.
U. S. SHOULD PROTECT
Federal Action Only Solution to Flood Problem, According to Prof. H. A. Rice
"The fifteen million dollars lost in Kansas last year during the flood season cannot be blamed to the state government", said H. A. Rice, professor Civil Engineering at the University, who returned this week from a meeting of the National Drainage Congress at Cairo, Ill. "The state can take no action in the matter of building dikes along the Kaw river. The reservoirs, but would mean three times as much loss in Missouri and the states south of St. Louis along the banks of the Mississippi.
SOONERS WANT A MEET
"With dikes along the Kaw in Kansas and no protection by Missouri along the Missouri river, the lower districts there would be flooded and water would flow a swift current coming down from the Kaw. And, even should Missouri and Kansas go together, build dikes along both rivers, the land along the Mississippi below the mouth of the Missouri would be subject to greater danger and move less than in Kansas and Missouri combined.
NEED FEDERAL ACTION
"The only solution of this drainage and environmental protection legislation, is through national legislation. A bill known in the house as the Clark bill and in the senate as the Williams bill, whereby the money from the sale of certain lands is to go toward drainage and flood protection, has been endorsed by the National Drainage Congress and people in this part of the country themselves the loss they suffer about once every five years, should take enough interest in the matter to inform their congressmen of their wishes. It is a matter of no little concern that a hundred million dollars' worth of property are lost in flooding because there is no protection from high water. The cost of constructing a system of dikes along the
Bennie Owen Would Meet K. U in Outdoor Track—Other Sport News
NEED FEDERAL ACTION
Bennie Owen, coach of Sooner athletics, is very anxious to get a track meet with Kansas in the spring on the outdoor track. He did not ask for any particular date but insisted that he would like to have it on the 08ka-14 team. The timeout time no steps have been taken to close a deal with the Sooners.
In the first place the Kansas track schedule is crowded to capacity on the outdoor as well as the indoor track. A hard meet is scheduled for every week-end from April 22 to June 3. This leaves little time for a track meet and it would be difficult that meet could be arranged for would be on April 29. But Hamilton has set aside that date for the annual inter-class meet. The Penn Games in Philadelphia will be held on the same date and if Kansas sends a relay team to that meet the interclass affair will have to be postponed for a week or two. In either event the Oklahoma meet would be in conflict with present plans.
The financial consideration involved in such a meet is also worrying Hamilton. Whether the meet is held here or in Oklahoma it would not draw a crowd large enough to pay expenses of the visiting team. This would cause a drain of nearly three hundred dollars on the treasury for the meet cannot figure how it would be worth three hundred dollars.
The offer has not been accepted or refused yet and probably will not be or some time. In case anything comes up that will make conditions favorable Hamilton will be glad to meet the Sooners.
The Jayhawkers leave next week for their only eastern trip this year. The boys will arrive in Columbia Wednesday for a couple of games with the Hawks and Thursday nights. Then they will journey to St. Louis for games with Washington Friday and Saturday. This series will practically decide whether not Kansas has a chance at anything except last place in the Conference.
In other years Washington has always proved easy for the Jayhawkers except on the St. Louis court. A mysterious something seems to help the Pikers when they are at home for in football and basketball they hold up well in small-season games, Washington does best Missouri in football last fall on the St. Louis gridiron but they never did that at Columbia.
Basketball practice last night consisted of goalshooting and passing. Only half of the court could be used because of the "K. U. Follies" stage being in place. But the goup got a chance to play and they possibly they can be better able to find the goal in the games this week than they have in the past weeks.
The hurdle tryouts for the Normal meet had to be postponed until Thursday because of this same stage. These were to have been held yesterday. This will give the obstacle jumps a better chance to get in shape but they will not have a chance to use the sprinting boards on the main floor.
Track practice yesterday consisted of a short workout for the distance men. Resting from the tryouts on Monday, the men would be toiminat ed to the track to do final for the final distance tryouts this afternoon. The half mile and two mile tryouts will be held this afternoon. A rehearsal for the K. U. Fellies attained by the team members and the railing near the stage was thickly settled with track men.

NUMBER 86.
K. U. Vaudeville Receipts Total $135 for National Armenian Relief Fund
AUDIENCE WAS PLEASED
Although the great "K. U. Follies" held last night in Robinson Gymnastium was not such a financial success as the War Relief committee had hoped for, it was a great success from every other standpoint. The audience which numbered only about 400 felt well repaid. The money received when added to the plaques already contributed to will swell the Relief Fund to nearly $100. The receipts from the vaudeville amounted to about $135. Out of this a few small bills will have to be naid.
Pete Carver, Miss Caverley, who came from the University of Missouri to appear as headliner on the program last evening, gained much applause and commendation for her Armenian dance. Helen Miller, Piette Pierre and Pierrot performed so successfully that they barely satisfied the audience with one encore. Since their appearance at the May Fete last spring they have been great favourites. Polly Sargent Clark and Metamalf also proved popular, and called forth a great deal of applause.
pay.
The money that has been pledged to the relief fund has reached a total of $349. Many more of the faculty have promised contributions which will be paid soon. This money will be sent to the Armenian Relief Fund in New York City. All those who have not yet contributed should see Prof. H. A. Millis immediately. There is still plenty of time, and no one should hold back because it is late in the day. The committee will test every nerve up to the last minute to increase the fund as much as possible.

Y.W. AGED 50. BANQUETS
Five Decades Toasted b
Costumed Speakers—
350 Present
The attainment of the half-century mark by the Y. W. C. A. was celebrated by 350 K. U. women Tuesday night with a banquet in the Robinson gymnasium which marks the beginning of college life. A month in the University of Kansas.
A striking feature of the evening was the toasting of each of the five decades in the career of Y. W. C. A. by speakers costumed to represent the periods with which they respectively dealt. The principal event of each decade, with regard to the national organization, and with regard to K. U. in particular were recounted in the book that made every woman present proud that she was identified with the society that has made such a record.
Miss Vanetta Hosford represented the first decade, 1866-76, dressed in the style of that day. She told the inspiring story of Y. W. beginnings and when she met Mrs. H. Brown, Mrs. W. H. Brown was ready to carry the story forward to 1886.
Miss Kate Riggs, an instructor in the Lawrence high school was costumed in her commencement gown between 1886 and 1896, the times between 1886 and 1896.
Miss Emily Smith, telling of 1896-1906 and Miss Nellie Kennedy, representing the last decade brought by World War II. The future was taken then in charge by Nelle Ellie Evans, a student in Lawrence high school. She told of the future plans and hope of the assemblage at this time, attaining for the years to come.
The decorations consisted of flowers on each table, and two large dolls, one dressed in the colonial style and the other in the fashion of today. A large birthday cake with fifty candles occurred the center of the table.
There were 350 present, including members, friends and faculty members who are interested in the association's work.
The banquet was not a money-making affair. Miss Anne Gitties, secretary of the association, said today she no profit derived from the banquet.
K, N. G. IN ACTIVE SERVICE IN TOPEKA
The combined company, made up from "M" company of the Hill and "H" of the town, returned from Topeka last evening, where the men were on duty during the war there. The men under the command of Captain S. G. Clarke, of "H", and 1st Lieut. E. M. Briggs of "M" saw some fairly active work, according to some of the men in the force. The hill was the largest and richest that Topeka has ever seen on a similar occasion.
Orders were given that as soon as the seats of the Auditorium, where the President was to speak, filled the crowd was to be turned back. So eager was the crowd, however, that their banners had been held their bayonets to keep the doorway clear. Their manner of handling this work was complimented both by the colonel of the regiment and by the secret service men of the president's office. It is the president said that the men were better equipped and trained than any body of militia that he had seen.
The Y. M. C. A. of Lafayette College is conducting a campaign to raise 71,500 for the annual expenses of the organization. Up to the present year there has always been a financial basis. The Steiner, of the local branch, hopes to put the association on a sound financial basis.
Professor Nevin to Recite "Poia"
for University Club
February 9
TO GIVE INDIAN OPERA MEET POSTPONED A DAY
The University has arranged a musical evening, to be held at the club next Monday evening, February 7. The program will consist of an illustrated recital by Prof. Arthur Nevin, of his Indian opera "Pois." The recital will begin at eight-thirty. This will be one of three arrangements arranged by the entertainment committee of the University Club
Mr. Nevin will explain the theme of "Poia," and will illustrate on the piano some of the principal parts of the opern. The material for the latter was gathered by the composer during the summers of 1903-04 when he lived with the Blackfoot Indians, whose reservations is stulted in the northwestern corner of Alberta, extending some thirty miles north of the boundary line into Alberta, Canada, including a part of the eastern slope of the east over the prairies for forty miles.
After the completion of the opera, Mr. Nevin's first engagement to lecture on the work was at the White House, in April, 1907, at the request of the president. At the close of the lecture a reception was given by the President.
IVED WITH INDIANS
LIVED WITH INDians
In constant association with the Indian of this tribe living, herding and trawling one point to another with them in their restless life, joining with them in their singing, and at last being allowed to participate in ceremonies of the most religious character, Mr. Nevin was able to learn the entire story of their prophet, Poia, who had journeyed to the court of their god, the Sun, and returned to his people to teach the doctrine of sun-worship. It was the composer's constant and close observation of the people that gave him the opportunity to study their lore and to find the many melodic Indian themes which he used as motives in his opera.
OPERA PRODUCED IN GERMANY Shortly afterward the author went to Germany, to attempt to have the work accepted for production. The Royal Opera of Berlin examined and accepted the opera in the latter part of 1909 and the final performance in the third, 1910. There was a great amount of hostile sentiment displayed over the Opera taking the work of an unknown American. Richard Strauss had but shortly returned to Berlin from a rather unfortunate tour in America, and had voiced his idea of our country as but a a "sewer of art". This opinion of Strauss added much weight to the hostile sentiment in Berlin towards a foreign work, and against the opera at its first performance. However, the work went on and remained during two weeks the offering of the Royal Opera.
This recital of "Pola" is one of a series of evenings that have been arranged at the University Club by the entertainment committee and other members of the club. During the present University year the following guests have been entertained in the theater, Norman Angell, publicist and lecturer on war and peace; Frank H. Storms, representative of Babson's financial expert and investment forecaster; Frank Speaight, Dickens reader, of London, England; Hamilton Holt, editor of the "Independent"; Bynner, poet and playwright; Vernon Kellogg, of the American relief commission for Belgium. Last week a smoker was given for the visiting officials of the United States bureau of mines and the forest products laboratory, who were holding a meeting in Lawrence
As a result of the Sunday campaign at Amherst 300 students have entered Bible classes which are held weekly. Every undergraduate will be given an opportunity to lead or join these classes. "Life at Its Best" is the book on which the course is based .
The committee plans to continue these entertainments during the rest of the university year. Arrangements have been completed for a smoker next month, after the next week's university lunchtime course, at which the guests will be Mr. Joseph Zeelner, Sr., and his sons, Joseph, Jr., and Amandus, of the Zeoliner String Quartette, of Brussels, Belgium. Arrangements may also be secured several other speakers at the club in the near future.
The Amherst Freshmen succeeded very cleverly in having their banquet uninterrupted by the Sophomores. Marching out of a hygienic class in a restaurant, they attended the special event for Worcester where the dinner and celebration was held.
The Normal-K. U. meet which was to have been held Monday night, Feb. 7, has been postponed one night. The new date will be Tuesday, Feb. 8. We'll be training again, and we'll train planning plans but will give them a little more time to get in shape. The change was in response to a request from Coach Hargiss asking for the postponement. Because of a conflict between coaches could not come on Monday night.
Normals Will Meet K. U. Tracksers Tuesday Night—Tryouts Satisfactory
The crowd that attends the first track meet will see for themselves that the reports of a good team which have been issuing from the gym, are true. Tryouts of the last few days have proved to the few who have witnessed them, that the trackers are in good shape for the initial run, and that feats must never run. Each day brings out a new burst of speed. The mile and quarter were the feature races on Monday but the half mile and the two mile yesterday were attractions of unusual interest.
The two mile was an easy victory for Grady, the veteran distance man on Hamilton's squad. He has been showing unusual form this spring and has yet to see the man in school who can beat him in the distances. His record of only one defeat for last season will probably fall if he continues in the same stride he has started this year. But he will have to face the same man, Teeter, in the Aggie meet February 21, who took first from him on Monday. He last spring. However, Grady took first from Teester on McCook Field last spring in one of the most sensational finishes of the season.
Stateler finished a close second to Grady in the two mile in yesterday's trysts. The two men fought for the lead on all of the thirty-six laps and it was only the last two that Grady pulled away from Stateler. Groene and Howland ran in good form all the way but were never able to take the lead from Grady and Stateler. All of them went very far, the distance in good time and any two of them should place against he Teachers.
The half mile was an unusual race but ended with a safe victory for Rodkey, the crack middle distance man Rodkey led out as if he was running a hundred yard and seemed never to be able to finish the entire distance and finished 3 seconds ahead of Elliot who took a hard-earned second. Elliott ran a grace all the way and nosed into second place by leading Sproull eight inches in the race but the pair set up where in the race but the pair set up where Rodkey seemed to get the best of them.
The final events on the tryouts for the Normal meet will be staged this afternoon. The pole vault and the hammer throw will be yet to be staged. These will prove interesting as many new men are after places in these departments.
STACKS OPEN AT NIGHT
Old Excuses of "No Books" No Longer Available to Students
No longer will students be able to go to their classes with the excuse that reference books were locked in the stack, for Miss Carrie Watson has now thrown them open for the use of students as long as the library is open.
There was recently made complaint because the stacks were not open during quiz week; but because of the lack of funds with which to pay for additional equipment, she had to aid the students. The stacks were opened Monday without previous announcement; and when an attendant in the library was questioned as to where the funds came from, the answer was that it was supposed that the student had the financial funds for help through the efforts of Miss Watson. fff fff
The stacks will be opened hereafter until the library closes at ten o'clock. However no books can be checked out of the library after 6 o'clock.
The following rules govern the use of the stack;
When neither catalog nor librarian can furnish necessary information, juniors and seniors may consult books in the stacks.
On entering the stacks, the student must leave all books, except his note box.
If any book is taken from the stack even for a few minutes, the fact must be known.
As the stack room is not large enough to accommodate readers, the students are requested to do their reading elsewhere.
The penalty for violation of any of these rules will be the forfeiture of the property.

"K. U. GETTING ITS STRIDE IN BASKETBALL"—HAMILTON
"The basketball team is going to play a different brand of game from now on," said Manager W. O. Hamilton Wednesday evening, "The team has struck its stride and we expect them to be coming games. The team really just "blew up" before the contest with Ames owing to stage fright and to the fact that almost every man on the team was new. For a little time the members of the team were almost convinced that they couldn't but now they have found out that they really can put up a good fight.
"Tuesday evening they played all around the second string men in a way that showed they have regained their position and that they are contest with Ames. Of course we can't say that we will win every game from now on, but the indications are that Kansas will not be lower than Iowa, place on the Missouri Vocal Conference League when the final games of the season are played."
VISITOR GETS RECITAL
Fine Arts Students Will Honor Wellesley Dean of Music
A complimentary recital for Hamilton MacDougall, Dean of Music at Wellesley College, will be given by the students of the School of Fine Arts at Fraser Hall, Thursday evening February 3, at 8:15. Professor MacDougall is visiting the larger western colleges to study their methods of teaching music. He is expected to interest high school students for music and in the extension work now being done by this University.
Mr. MacDougall, when interviewed at the University Club, where he is the guest of the Fine Arts faculty, said:
"I came to the University of Kansas first because it is the most typical of the western universities. Music as an educational study is a comparatively new thing and the western colleges, which are more modern eastern colleges, have led the way in the installing of schools of music, Business and professional men and all men in general have looked upon music as the expression of the emotions, but this theory is going the way of President Wilson's "too proud to fight." I shall visit Ann Arbor, Michigan, Northwestern and Illinois before I return. The man usually uses in my crusade for music in the eastern colleges, and in the articles which I shall write frequently for musical journals."
"When Professor MacDougall wrote us of his trip," Dean Skilton remarked, "gave as his reason for coming the fact that he thought the West to be very much in advance of the East in many respects. Neither high school credit for music nor extension work in music has been used to any extent in the eastern colleges. Professor MacDougall will probably give more charge than his study of the workings of these systems."

MEETING WAS SUCCESS
Representatives of U. S. Bureau of Mines Pleased With Conference
INITIATED COOPERATION
Harmonized the Flotation Work of American Research Workers
The conference of metalurgists and mining engineers which was held at the University of Kansas last Friday and Saturday was very successful and accomplished more in the way of cooperation between men engaged in research work for the improvement of metalurgical equipment according to D. M. A. Lyon of the United States Bureau of Mines at Salt Lake City, Utah.
No permanent organization was effected at this first meeting. A permanent organization will be formed next September at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, zona. The meeting just held was merely a forerunner of an organization to be effected at that time.
The Saturday morning session was taken up with the reading and discussion of two papers, one by Dean Minor Roberts, of the College of Mines, University of Washington at Seattle on Proposed Research on Flotation," and the other by Mr. George Belchich of the University of Texas on Theorem 1 of Flotation."Mr. Belchich explained the principles of flotation upon which this machine for eliminating waste in lead and zinc ores, is based.
The afternoon session was taken up with the reading and discussion of papers from professors of metallurgy and mining approving the idea of the meeting and wishing success to the venture.
The representatives from the United States Bureau of Mines were D. A. Lyons and O. C. Ralston of Salt Lake and C. A. Wright of Joplin, Missouri. Those representing schools of mines were Dr. A. L. McRae and Professor Clayton of Rocky Mountain College of Missouri; R. C. Palmer of the United States Forest. Product Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
The representatives from the University of Kansas were Profs. Geo. Belchic, Roy Neal, Harry Van Velde, Terrie E. H. S. Bailey, H. C. Allen, G. W. Stratton, W. H. Twenhofel and A. H. Sluss.

SENIOR WOMEN TO MIX
Will Have Taffey Pull and Hear Miss Winston Talk
The first senior women's mixer of the year is to be held next Wednesday evening, February 9, at 7:45 o'clock. It is to be an informal entertainment, with taffy pulling as the chief amusement of the evening. The expenses are to be met by a moderate donation amounts by each senior girl attending.
Folowing the taffy pull Miss Alice Winston of the English Department is to talk to the girls upon the "Col- lory" which she has landed on "Vocational Work for Women".
Although this is the first mixer to be given this year it is not to be the last, according to Miss Clarene-Gana Daine, chairman of the senior women's mixer committee. The others are now up to meet upon, but the important thing now is to secure a record attendance at the initial smoker of the season.

THE BILLS ALL PAID
For the first time in the history of the Student Council that organization boasts today of clear books and a margin on the credit side of the council ledger. For several years, an indebtedness has met the incoming councils at the beginning of each semester, and, as a legacy to those that followed, the outgoing members shunted it from their shoulders after repeated failures to liquidate it.
Back somewhere in the memory of the present seniors, a Student Union was attempted, which, after a short life, died leaving a total indebtedness of eighty dollars. This student council ghoe to assume the incumbence as had a former body and this morning the unrealized hopes of many former students were made real.
Since the council is not in debt for anything else this year, the chances are that the council will go out in June with clear books and a balance.
The Student Council, in spite of much adverse criticism this year, has been able to contend with and solve one problem which former councils with a greater prestige among the students but with a less active sense of duty allowed to rest too easily on their shoulders.

Does the fact that twenty-seven of the ninety-four registrations for the second semester are from other schools mean anything to you? It should.
It means that there were a number of students enrolled in other schools, who saw the light and decided to come to the University of Kansas. We who are enrolled here at the University and have been from the time we were graduated from our respective high schools, do not realize the high rating old K.U has among the colleges of the country. "A propist is without honor in his own country" applies
with a great deal of force to our alma mater.
The fact that of the ninety-four registrations for the second semester, twenty-seven were transfers from other schools, should make us who are plodding along and continually complaining about our poor school sit up and rub our eyes.

The department of industrial journalism at the Kansas State Agricultural colleges has shown the largest margin of growth of any department of the college. Last year, the college enrolled for the entire journalism course. This year more than two hundred are taking one or more courses.
It was one of the best things I got from my education as an engineer: of which, however, as a way of life, I wish to speak with sympathy. It takes a man into the open air, and gives him the courage to marry harbours, which is the richest form of idling; it carries him to wild islands; it gives him a taste of the genial dangers of the sea; it supplies him with dexterities to exercise; it makes demands upon his ingenuity; it will go far to cure him of any taste (if he would learn) to swim in cities. And when it has done so, it carries him back and shuts him in an office! From roaring skerry and the wet wart of the tossing boat, he passes to the stool and desk; and with a memoryful of ships, and seas, he shines Pharos, he must apply his long-sighted eyes to the pretty nieces of drawing, or measuring his inaccurate mind with several pages of consecutive figures.

MAKE THE BEST OF IT
A merry heart, a merry laugh,
A face with lots of sun in it.
A merry tongue, a merry chaff
Then learn to leave behind you care.
A foot but walks abreast of it.
Dont be a victim to despair.
And life has no more last in it.
Well, there are fewer clouds to burst.
So why not make the best of it?
If trouble comes—and troubles will-
When others make a guest of it
Keep on a smiling face and still
And if the worst comes to the worst
Here's to the University Daily Kansan, may it continue its present policies, and may its future years be as worthy of mention as its past.
The present enrollment of the Harvard regiment is 1060, including 137 non-commissioned officers.
And if the world comes to life
And life has no more zest in it—
But always make the best of it.

CAMPUS OPINION
Mr. Hancock, for many years a writer on the New York Sun is known to many University students since his visit here two years ago.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Every man or woman who has ever attended the University of Kansas cannot help but be struck by the absence of school songs. There are very few songs that have taken such a hold of the students that they have lasted from year to year. The Crimson and the Blue is the only song that has been officially published K. U. Song, "Stand Up and Cheer" is a good song, but for some reason, it is not as popular as t might be.
The University Daily Kansas is a real college newspaper. It portrays in an interesting style the life of the students at Lawrence, Kansas. Its news is well written, copy carefully edited, departmental copy written with a definite purpose. The jokes, although full of humor, are clean and wholesome. The editorials are written with real objects.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good with but names will not be published without the writer's consent
At Iowa State, the condition has been much the same as here at Kansas. So an alumunus has offered a twenty-five dollar prize for the best football song. It would be a great gift to the University of Kansas if some old grad would do the same for us. We have the talent to originate a good song. When the need is a strong one, the need is an interest to make it be accepted. We should have a song or a number of songs that will live in the hearts of all K. U. We should have songs that will be sung with the same spirit and loyalty twenty years from now that they are today; songs that will grip the hearts of the old grads, and set them to singing with the same spirit and loyalty twenty years in their own freshman days. Singing will soften people and bring them together as no other thing will. We need a song or two that will fire the students on the Hill with a loyalty for Kansas, and will bring the tears to the eyes of old men and women twenty years from now.
WE BLUSH
The following extract taken from the Daily Oklahomaan concerning our birthday number makes us feel good. "I want to parson our ecrism in reprinting it."
"Please excuse our immodesty; you see it's our birthday number," says a cartoon on the front page of the January 20, issue of the University Daily Kansan, one of the livestreams of the Mississippi river. This issue, carrying a large number of cats and cartoons, portrays the growth of a student publication in the University of Kansas since the establishment of the "Observer of Nature" in 1874, after the foundation of the university.
Musical.
In addition to the regular daily news from Mt. Oread, this issue contains stories giving the location and background of the authors of different Kansan student publications. Many of them are now in responsible editorial positions on papers not only in the Jayhawk state but all over the United States.
Scattered throughout the eight pages are stories dealing with the various phases of the growth and development of the different papers, including besides the "Observer of Nature," the "Kansas College," the "Utah University," the "Kansas Review," the "Times," and finally the "University Daily Kansan," which was established in 1912.
The University Daily Kansan claims the credit for many reform campaigns and improvements on Mt. Orend and other places. It was, according to one article appearing in this issue, the first student publication to rule out the carrying of cigarette advertisements in its columns. Another artistry project involved 16 students enrolled in the Department of Journalism is given actual newspaper experience by the Kansan editors.

American Ass'n of College Profs Explains Demand for More Academic Freedom
HOUK'S
When the American association or professors was formed a year or two ago, comment was made upon the exclusion from its membership of university presidents. The significance of this exclusion port, just published, of the committee on academic freedom and academic tenure. This is a subject on which the position of the professors is necessarily different from, and at least somewhat inferior to that of the president, who in most universities is the connecting link between the faculty and the trustees. Thus he has a footing in either camp, and for the unconstrained discussion of questions relating to the rights of professors and abilities of the teaching body it is simpler to eliminate the presidents.

In a tangle on the basketball floor Friday night, Howard Laslett received a serious injury which has been caused him considerable pain. An x-ray of the shoulder shows that two bones were pulled apart in a peculiar manner. This in itself should not cause much trouble but from the intense pain connected with the injury the physician fears that
something else is wrong. His condition has been improving and that he will be able to resume school work soon.

GRIGG'S
HOW THEY SMOKE
If you're feeling blue some night, and the fellows have gone off and left you to brood on your troubles with the "most unreasonable prof." just like that in the old days, you won't be there fifteen minutes before one of the men you most wanted to see will come along; or it is more than possible that the dear professor himself will be cooperating with him, or perhaps but just go and see for yourself.
Long after a K. U. man has deserted his class room theory for the actual practice of life, he retains memories of Griggs's. No K. U. man's edukiess of Griggs. So far as he is concerned, so far as the extra curriculum part of it is concerned, at any rate.
Few of the students who put a polish on their academic training at Grigg's, know the history of that popular institution. It really started in 1895, as the cigar store of F. D. Brooks, Mr. Brooks sold out to John Harding, his clerk. Harding ran the store for a time under the name of "The Sign of the Turk," the title being derived from the large wooden Turk which stood in front of the store. He then managed to charge himself. In 1907 Mr. Ober sold to J. R. Grigas, and a new era for the business was started.
THE LAWS STARTED '1
When Mr. Grigsgs bought the place it was a hard-won hang-out for the festive Laws. The steps of Green Hall weren't in operation then, and the Laws simply had to have some place to congregate and discuss weighty class-room topics. Much of the conversation was fact that Harding continued to manage the place,—for Uncle Jimmy's boys were strong for him.
THE LAWS STARTED IT
THE ENGINEERS KEPT IT UP
In 1910 Mr. Griggs moved from the room now occupied by Ecke's Flower Shop, into the present situation, one door south. He considerably enlarged the space of the office, a line of magazines. About this time the Engineers began to frequent the place, being perhaps, forced to admit that what was good enough for a Law was good enough for them.
THE ENGINEERS KEP' IT UP
AND NOW WE'RE ALL DOING IT
In August 1910, A. L. Griggs, the present proprietor, came to Lawrence from St. Joseph, Mo., to take charge of the establishment. He immediately began to enlarge the activities of the store, paying special attention to the periodical business.
Mr. Griggs has evolved several business theories that have worked well in practice since he assumed the management of the store.
"Don't have any vacant wall space, and don't have the aisles too large," he says, "people will not come in if the place looks bare.
"be original, if you can, and don't have, have just an ordinary line of goods."
"Get people to talk about your window displays, but don't fix your window so that the goods inside the store shows from the street."
On these principles he has built up one of the most popular stores in town. His magazine has grown enormously, until he supplies more than twice as many periodicals as the newspaper, and has created a complete line of smoker's articles, and is constantly striving after the newest and most original.
While Mr. Griggs is a firm believer in advertising, he says his most efficient ads are distributed by word of mouth, by students who have visited his place and liked the treatment they received. The best ads are worthless if they aren't backed by an effective delivery of the goods.
At present there is no more popular resort in Lawrence than 827 Massachusetts. The smoking room is usually well filled, and many a football victory has been hashed over, and rewon there. Perhaps attendance dwindles a little before quitters, but the team's allure for the official post-mortem, turns the "cold grey dawn of the morning after" into a wake that is one of the rewards of those melancholy days when they come—and go.

Expenses at the University of Kansas are neither extremely high or extremely low as compared with those of other universities. Expenses at the University of Oregon are as low as $225 a year but the lowest estimate at Columbia is about $700 a year.
"START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT"
SAY THRIFT DAY ADVISORS
Today is Thrift Day for the whole American nation. It is the day designated by the American Bankers' Association as an opportunity time to start saving money. The plan was originated this year by a Philadelphia bank organized in the United States, the first one to be chartered under the national bank system and it was announced the earliest to make savings-bank and trust company fields.
While statistics show that the American nation heads the list for wealth, they also show that America is far down the line when it comes to saving wealth. Thrift Day has not been instituted for personal benefits alone; it has a national significance, also. The more people in the United States hands, the more she will be able to loan to other nations. This alone is of sufficient importance to encourage savings.
Certain days have been set aside for Mothers' Day, Flag Day, Children's Day, and today, February 3, has been added as Thrift Day. In Lahore, in late lance, for the past week, big Thrift Day placards have been displayed.
K. U. STUDENTS WILL HEAR Y. M. SPEAKERS
The second biennial meeting of the state convention of the Young Mens' Christian Association will be held February 3 to 6 in Kansas City, Kansas. Many of the leading Y. M. A. men in the University will attend.
Dr. Allen A. Stockade, known as the "Pitching Parson," will give five talks. Dr. Geo J. Fisher, international secretary; Dr. John Brown, another international secretary, and Arthur Cotton, of the international high school department, will speak before the whole convention. Harry Heinzmann, who recently returned from three months on the flying line with his wife, will speak and Goodheart, superintendent of the Sunshine Rescue Mission, of Denver will tell of his rise from a "down and outer."
The following men will go from K. U.; Benjamin Bultzer, Rex Miller, L. A. Walworth, Ed Todd, Harry Harlan, Lester Evans, Oscar Brown, E. F. Price, Ewart Plank, F. W. Grammp, Cecil Haugen, W. D. Steinhauer, Chas. Sloan, John Calene, and Hugo Wedell.

Dustin Farnum in Paramount Pictures
PARAMOUNT Pictures were the first to feature stage stars in motion pictures. They were purposely planned to set a new quality standard in motion pictures — high above the blood- and thunder type of the nickelodeon days and the mediocre "movie" shows which sprang up like toadstools.
And Paramount Pictures have succeeded in changing the character of programs presented by thousands of the better class of theatres throughout the country.
Following closely the efforts of the Paramount Corporation to furnish better pictures came the announcement that the Bowersock Theatre, a playhouse offering practically every convenience and pleasure of an up-to-date house, would devote their dark nights to Paramount pictures.

VOLUME XIII.
AND THERE WE ARE
NUMBER 87.
University Senate Divided Between Petition of Men and That of Women
THEREON THEY HANG
Meeting is Proposed of Men and Women to Settle Difficulty
That the University Senate in its meeting Tuesday night did not ignore the wishes of the students in regard to the dance question, is the assertion of several of the Senate members yesterday. The reason given for the silence of the senate is that the members were at a loss for an answer to the students, and so remained quiet.
Tt divided opinion of the men and women puzzled the senate. Professor Hodder who has greatly interested in the mid-night rule explained the feeling of the senate this morning.
"The students handed us two separate resolutions and asked us to vote upon them. The women ask for a one o'clock rule, the men for one o'clock rule with formal parties excepted. Now how are we to know what the student body wanted? We could not accept it, so we be fair to the women. On the other hand, the women cannot be considered alone. So there we are. If the students will agree on what they want, the senate will be only too glad to act with them. But as the matter stands, there seems to be nothing new to continue, with dances closing at twelve until the students agree on what they want. My advice, and the advise of most of the senate, is for the student body to get together, come to a definite understanding, and then they will very gladly set upon the resolution they offer us and will very probably give them what they ask."
Women's Rule Popular
According to members of the faculty, the women's rule would have been adopted by the senate had it not been accompanied by the men's rule. Should the students ask for a general one o'clock closing rule, the senate probably would have approved it. The rule is offered by the men, asking for a one o'clock rule with a two o'clock closing for formals, did not gain favor with the senate, as it is in direct opposition to the rule as passed by the senate.
It is probable that there will be a general meeting of men and women where an agreement will be made, followed by listen and consider any opinion that comes from the student body as a whole. It objects, however, to being asked decide between the mens and women's resolutions as they now stand.
SHOWING. TO BIG CROWDS
"Battle Cry of Peace" Played the Same as in Kansas City
The Varsity Theatre, which is exhibiting the Hudson Maxim "Battle Cry of Peace" for the last time tonight, is doing all possible to reproduce the play as it was given at the Willis Wood theatre in Kansas City. L. J. Scott, who was a student in the Law School in 1911, has been working on the local manure putting on the moving picture production.
The Girls' Glee Club from the Lawrence High School has been singing patriotic songs during the evening and R. E. Gaffney, a member of the Kanza fraternity sings "America, I Love You." A special orchestra also plays during the showing of the pictures.
Mr. Scott says that several scenes not shown at the Willis Wood Theatre because of the strong features are being shown in Lawrence.
Lawrence is the first Kansas town permitted to have the pictures. The pictures have been showing to large crowds each night.
Recommended For Masters Degree
At a meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School Saturday, the following candidates were recommended for the degree of the Master of Arts: Remington Kellegg, Alvin P. Cummins and J. C. Anderson, Mr. Kolkage received his M.A. degree of University last year. Mr. Cummis did his undergraduate work at Southwestern College, and Mr. Anderson in Union College, Nebraska.
These recommendations await the final action of the Board of Adminis-
The Committee also elected two fellows to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of W. H. Foster and Mary E. Parker, but these will not be published, until after appointment by the Board of Administration.
BE IN FRIDAY
SENIOR PICTURES MUST
BE IN FRIDAY
According to Ross Busenbark, manager of the Annual, all seniors must have their pictures in by February 5. A few have not come in for special time for these people to have their sittings before the closing date.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 4, 1916
SENIOR PICTURES MUST
"The importance of these pictures can hardly be overestimated," statec Busenbark, "either from the standpoint of the book or the individual. The pleasures which will come from looking over the Jayhawker in after years depend upon the pictures to a great extent."
LID IS COMING DOWN
All Parties Must Report to Mrs. Brown 3 Days Ahead
Article II. Section I. All dancing parties must be properly chaperoned and the names of the chaperones given to the student interest student interests not later than three days before the party.
The lid is going to come down—and tight down tight. The days of leniency are past. Hereafter, the above rule, which requires the sanction of Mrs. Brown at least three days before any party will be given, will be complied with or the dilatory ones must suffer the consequences.
Though is was not generally known at the time, K. U. society came very near to be deprived of what he would have wanted when he was given at Ecke's Hall last Friday night. The failure of Ed Tanner, chairman of the student council's social committee, to schedule the dance three days ahead of time as usual easily have warranted Mrs. Brown in refusing to sanction the affair. Mrs. Brown permitted the舞 to be given, however, and contented herself with this time, with calling attention of the delishers to their neglect.
Since the issuance of the student directories, Mrs. Brown has been lenient with the organizations because part of the rule governing the admission to these directories. But the official announcement is given now that the rule will be strictly applied in the future. Since the Daily Kansan is the official organ of the University the present notice is issued to all students this time on no one will be excused because of ignorance of the law. However, Mrs. Brown will supplement this announcement with a leaflet containing all the rules. This leaflet was sent to the president of all organizations as soon as practicable.
Mrs. Brown also cautions all students from arranging for dances with young performers.
"The regulations require that all dances must be scheduled with me three days ahead of the date on which the dance is to be given," she said. "The dancer has been mistakenly interpreted to mean the 'third day' before the dance; instead of 'three days' before. Hereafter, I want it understood that the 'three days' interpretation is the correct one, and the one which will be used. "That is," she continued, "if the舞 is to be given on Friday night, it must be scheduled with not more than two dancers if the affair is to be given Saturday night, it must be scheduled not later than Wednesday."
"As a means of complying with the ruling with the least possible trouble, I suggest that after an organization giving a dance has rented the hall for a certain date, they immediately schedule the dance with me before other arrangements are made."
Grades To Be Given Out Monday
At eight-thirty Monday morning,
students will be lined up at the
Registrar's office, anxiously awaiting
the answer, how many or how many threes they got in last
semester's work.
Then with a smile, Mrs. Brow,
took the opportunity to give the re-
porter a little instruction in arith-
metric. "An easy way to compute
the time limit," she said, "is to sub-
tract three from the date on which
the program will run." That data
be the last day on which a dancer
may be scheduled.
"All the grades will be in by Monday," said Miss Emily Swick this morning. "Some are in now, but no student wants to stand in line for half an hour or more and get only one grade."
"We shall adhere stricly to this ruling in the future, and I shall have to make an object lesson of the next failure to comply with it.
Albert Randolph, president of the senior class, is confined to his room this week with an attack of tonsillitis. He is unable to attend classes next week.
Grades To Be Given Out Monday
WASHINGTON ON DECK ONLY DATES ADMITTED
Pickers Will Fight Hard to Get Jawhawk Feathers to Carry Home
Tired from two strenuous games with the Agries, the Washington University basketball five arrived in Lawrence this morning for two games and tomorrow. The games at Manhattan were decided defeats for the Pikers and they want to win one or two from Kansas to make their trip at least partly successful. What will not be determined until tonight.
The first game against the Aggeri resulted in a 45 to 13 victory for the Merner men. This was a much larger score than either—of the Aggeri-K. U. games. Thus by comparative figures Kansas has the edge over Houston, and ended with a closer score that the first, 36 to 17. The second was much faster that the game of Wednesday night and showed the Washington team-work to better advantage. The Pikers do not show enough speed to give Kansas cause for worry; and if the Jayhawkers are going in the pace Hamilton believes, they should have trouble in coping a couple from the St. Louis, Arkansas, or the St. Louis, Arkansas, men starched who played the best against Kansas two weeks ago. Busick showed up especially well for the visitors.
Games May Be Close
Considering these things alone the game between the two teams one of the Kansas team plays as it did early in the season. Hamilton says, however, that the men have learned how to play basketball since their school began. Agnieszka and that the Kansas playing will not be careless and ragged, as it was two weeks ago. The whole team seems to have "found" themselves, and are showing a much more athletic side of basketball and essentially of team work.
No indications of a change in the line-up would be given by the coaches yesterday. They said that they do not know who will start the game tonight or tomorrow, but that they did not get several new men will get into the battle before it was over. The showing of the scrubs against the Polytechnic School of Kansas City Saturday night was pleasing to the scrum mayHaiti and some of the scrubs can a shot at the Pikers tonight.
Dpe for Missouri Games
These two games will furnish the best line on Missouri that the Kansas rosters will be able to get before the team leaves for Columbia Wednesday.
Missouri defeated the Washington five in two games on the Louisius roster rather large scores. The probabilities so far favor a strong game between Missouri and Kansas; but if the Crimson and Blue five can hit their stride in these games, Kansas will also have a chance to figure in the dope with the Tigers.
Hamilton MacDougall Pleased With Recital Rendered in His Honor
FINE ARTS ARE PRAISED
There was more glee club and chorus musique than usual, a fact that added great interest to the program. The solos were all well rendered and the orchestra was appreciated by the audience. The chorus closed the program with the Priest's March from 'Athalie' by Mendelson. Considering the fact that the chorus had only one rehearsal they did very well last night. The chorus was due to the many operas performed on the program than any other one thing.
The complimentary recital given last night by the School of Fine Arts for Hamilton MacDougall was conceded the best recital of the year in unusual large crowd present and was viewed very highly by Mr MacDougall.
THIRD MERCHANT'S SHORT
COURSE BEGINS MONDAY
Hamilton MacDougal is dean of Music at Wellesley College, and is visiting the larger western colleges to study their methods of teaching music. Mr. McDougal said that he came to the University of Kansas first because it was the most typical of the western colleges. He thinks the most respectful college of the many respects, as neither high school credit for music, nor extension work in music has been used to any extent in the eastern schools.
The third Merchants' Short Course held at the University under the direction of the extension department begins next Monday. Over 300 merchant students attended last summer's attendance, and is predicted for this year by F. R. Hamilton, director of the University Extension Department.
Students Without Escorts May Not be Admitted to Girls' Basket Ball Tournament
If the probable plans of Manager W. O. Hamilton are carried out more man will not be permitted to witness the girls' basketball series that is to be played at the University March 17 game. The audiences are to be very select.
"Mere man" is to apply to all enthusiasts of the basketball sport that have not the passport of a woman escort. During the past tournaments criticism has been brought upon the directors of the tournament for permitting mixed audiences to withes the girls' games.
Coach Hamilton is planning on taking the girls' tournament from Robinson Gymnasium to one of the down courts, which are the Manual or City Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Both of these courts afford small space for audiences and will at the same time afford reasons for perseverance in the audience to appear around the court.
Because of the large number of high school teams that expect to enter the spring basketball tournament, Manager Hamilton found it necessary to make other arrangements for some of the teams and the plan of taking the girls' teams out of the gymnasium entirely will probably be arrived at.
Dean Does Not Favor Resolutions Minimizing Importance of Final Exams
BAKER STUDENTS WRONG
Dean Olin Templin of the college does not look with favor upon the resolutions which the students of Baker University have submitted to their faculty to aid them in their resolve to create a sentiment for entire abolishment of all forms of cheating and cheating in examinations.
The suggestions made to the faculty emphasised the importance of daily work, and the making of a series of periodical examinations. They further included recommendations that catch questions should be eliminated, that daily work should be performed with one third towards the term grade.
"As I understand this," said Dean Templem, "it is a request by the students that the faculty meet them half way on the proposition in order to help make them honest. I do not believe that the honor system ought to be coupled with any such changes by the faculty.
"As for the suggestions they virtually ask that all of the real tests be abolished. It is natural for us all to want to avoid the real tests in life and I even find that that is the case with myself, and as regards the so-called catch questions I was asked in the middle of think questions that I could answer were the catch questions. I suppose that it is the same way with others and I would not favor doing away with such tests. When a student gets out in the world he will find that he has these trials coming up on every hand and there is no reason why he should not have a few here in school. The sentiment of honor to try to succeed right, but it should not be made identical with the suggestions as made in these resolutions."
"The rest room for women in Fraser Hall is over-crowded, over-heated, poorly lighted and poorly ventilated," said Dr. Ida A. Hydle of the departing hospital. "We present aorter today. "It is obvious that this condition should be remedied, and that the ventilation in particular should receive attention. The last time I visited, all three children crowded into that small space. It was intolerably hot and close."
When Chancellor Strong was seen later and asked to comment on Dr. Hyde's statement, he pointed out that the same condition, previews in most of the buildings. "The condition existing in the rest room is no longer in use in other buildings on the campus" with the exec of the Administration - Building home of the University buildings have a modern ventilating system."
VENTILATION OF WOMEN'S
REST ROOM WRETCHED
"The best place for the young ladies to get fresh air," said Dean Templemi with a smile, "is out of doors. There is nothing that could rest them more comfortable than an sun and Kansas wind. We have plenty of both, and just now the coasting and slating are unexcelled. Yes, I feel sure that that would be the best position for us to work on our of our young women who find poor ventilation bad for them."
There's always a plain tale to be gleaned from the Law building.
DATE RULE OFF TUESDAY
FOR VARSITY THEATRE
The mid-week date rule will be suspended Tuesday February 8 for the play "Double Trouble" to be the play that "Hamlet" benefits the benefit of the Student Council.
The council has completed the payment of the old Student Union debit at the sacrifice of the balance in the treasury and has secured the Variity for next Tuesday in an effort to start a new bank account.
Leland Thompson, president of the council, hints that the money will be used for a very good purpose in the near future. A portion of the afternoon receipts at the Varsity will also go to the council.
CAN ENROLL SATURDAY
Faculty Advisers Will Wait Upon Late Students and Arrange Their Classes
Students in the College who failed to enroll at the regular time on Monday or who desire to make changes in their courses will be given a chance to arrange their work Saturday between classes. Other times will be considered. That is the edict from the Dean's office.
According to the ruling of the Board of Administration a fee of one dollar will be assessed all who give their consent to those who must change their courses of study. Dean Templin said this morning that no changes in courses would be considered unless absolutely necessary. Students may no longer report with the signed cards to the Dean's office for enrollment.
The following members of the faculty will be in their offices Saturday between 9 and 12 o'clock to advise students.

NEW FRENCH INSTRUCTOR
Peter Applebloom Comes to University of Kansas as Assistant Professor
It is Peter Applebloom, if you wish to speak to him in English or Peter Applebloom if you are one of his countrymen, but under no consideration must you get your German balled up and call the new French instructor Mr. Apple Tree. Mr. Applebloom has just been elected to supercede I. L. Lillehie, who had resigned as instructor in the dorm room where he was doing department center Chicago University. Professor Applebloom has been graduate work in the college during the past semester.
Mr. Applebloom is a large, broad shouldered man of about 35 years of age. He has a most pleasing personality and intelligence. He says that the more he speaks English the harder he finds the "th" combination. The new French instructor to whom the students have been taught has an unusually interesting career.
For eight years he was an officer in the Dutch navy and during this time traveled extensively spending three years in the Indies. The last three years while in the Navy he devoted to study and teaching. He then left the navy and studied in Berlin, and later went to Paris where he studied law. His foregoing coming to the United States, he was instructor in the Westport high school, Kansas City, Mo., before coming to the University.
Many people who have followed the Kansas City Star are already familiar with this man through the series of feature stories published about the adventures of Peter Applebloom.
Wants Book Case for Rest Room
Dr. Ida A. Hyde of the department of Physiology says that she some books she is holding on recreation which is willing to teach Women's Rest Room in Frascon as soon as a book case can be obtained to put them in. It is the hope of those in charge that others who have books on physical education will see an away will place them there, for the room is always crowded and plenty of good reading matter would be very much appreciated by the women who use the rooms. "I wish it were easier for someone to take up the matter of a book-case for this purpose."

CAN COAST ON LINKS
Manager Hamilton and Superintendent Shea Prepare a Slide for K. U. Enthusiasts
BIG TOBOGGAN NEXT YEAR
Are Planning a Cement Slide to be Flooded for Coasters
"Coasting for everybody minus the risk," said Coach W. O. Hamilton this morning. "Mr. Shea and I went out to work carefully yesterday and instead of moving the fence as was first proposed found there is a much better way, which will mean a longer time and reduce the risks nine per cent.
"A bridge twelve feet wide will be put across the ditch south of the tennis courts. This will mean that the bobs starting from the highest point on the hill will have a straight run until the end of the court is degrees will be held at this point and then the sled can continue down Alabama to the river if going fast enough."
Red lights will burn at night on each side of the bridge. The man in control of the bob should steer between them. A red light will also be placed on the post at the end of the court showing the turn.
"Next year there is a plan on foot to build cement runways which can be flooded" said Coach Hamilton. "It is to be a real toboggan course for children and the plan goes through. This will help them go for western colleges, if it is established. They have toboggan runs in the east and there is no reason why we cannot have one here. Toboganning is a sport every one can enjoy, but than any tonic and is strenuous exercise. We have a physical exercise. I intend to do all I can to forward the establishment of this slide and make it a success."
EXCHANGE PAYING OUT
College Students Are Using Student Council Plan to Save Money on Books
The book exchange as carried on by Neil Ireland for the Men's Student Council is proving a success both for the Council and for the convenience it renders the students. Beginning with the exchange from the book of books began, a committee hand has been made upon those in charge of the stalls in Fraser for books.
During the first day the exchange took in about $175 and Wednesday $100. By noon today the exchange had done about thirty dollars worth of business. The calls have come almost exclusively from College students. The calls have come from the medic, engineering and law academies but books have not been brought in by these students so that the demand can be satisfied.
The exchange will begin to pay out money for books sold tomorrow afternoon and continue Saturday between 9 and 12:15 in the morning and 1:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. Books will also be sold Monday.
A number of classics which will not be used until later in the semester have been brought in but not sold. The students would be able to save money by learning from their instructors what classics in English, French, German or needed later and buy them while the exchange is in operation.
Those books which are receiving a late demand but are not on the exchange.
Beard's American Government, Parker and Haswell's Law, Dunker' History and Theory of Banking, Blackman's Sociology, Vauss German Opinion's Psychology, Opperman's Planta, Pinker's Modern Banking.
Now that the Owls are assured that there will be no ground-hog prints they have called a meeting for Sunday afternoon. The janitors, faculty, men and women students might well expect a few boots from the one that "knows all, sees all, and boots all."
Swede Nelson, who played backhole on this year's football team, has left school and will return to his home in Russell.

To change one's habits smacks of death.—Por.
CLEAN ATHLETICS
The Daily Nebraskan in a recent editorial thanks those who were instrumental in bringing to light the facts concerning Guy Chamberlain's ineligibility. The paper is to be congratulated on the stand that it has taken for clean athletics. Winning teams are of course pleasant things to have around at certain times of the year, but if the way that the athletics are run is not above suspicion, the winning team loses a great amount of prestige.
We will miss seeing the Nebraska wonder performing again next year, but we heartily agree with the sentiments of the Nebraskan in insisting for clean athletics.
A PAUSE FOR BREATH
With examinations over and the new term slipping right along we can take time for some reflective thought on the new semester that is stretching before us. The flunks that we have earned have been given us, and the conditions that were dropped from the faculty airship have hit some of us. The ones and the twos that you like to send home have been sent. You can tell by this time whether it is snaps or grinds that you have chosen for the new term's work.
For a lot of us it is the home stretch, and the world is already reaching out its hand to grasp our shoulder and show us that a quiz or two and a hard course are the least of the troubles we are to meet. So, with the world liking its lips and waiting for us, let us make the best of the time left us. Is it not a good time right now to start a little surprise gift for the folks at home of a straight line of ones? Let us start right now making every minute count while we work and while we play, for after all, we can go to college but once.
DON'T SHOOT!
Don't grab for your gun! It isn't a new animal at all; it is just one of the males of the genus homo in his new Futurist costume prescribed by the International Custom Cutters' Association.
It might be a good idea, however, to get out your dark glasses, because if the style gains any great popularity we may all be blinded in a short time. Suppressed desires are going to burst upon us in a great torrent when the small opening is made, and man will blossom forth in the gala array of which he has been deprived for so many years.
As a savage he took the greatest delight in feathers and paint; then, when they were denied him, he added ruffles and powder to his costume. And finally that enjoyment was taken away, and he was reduced to conventional black and white, midnight blue and dusty brown.
The reaction is coming, however; the tailors all say so. Henceforth we may expect that the male of the species will be more brilliant than the female. A cubist painting will look pale compared with the costumes that the Custom Cutters of America are planning.
So if you see something on two legs with a purple coat, yellow trousers and a red sash, a green feather in its powdered hair and ruffles at its sleeves, do not act at all disconcerted or alarmed, it will be only one of the sterner sex in his up-to-date war paint.
ABORTIVE EFFORTS
Particularly at this time of the year are "abortive educational efforts" witnessed, writes the editor of the Dial in a recent issue of that publication.
He calls the efforts of college faculties "abortive" when they fail to direct the entering student towards some goal in the course of his study, and upon this failure he bases his demand for a solution of the problem of thinning the ranks at the end of the semesters. That something in the way of a remedy has been attempted is evidenced by the action of several of the larger institutions.
"Instruction in the meaning and purpose of college study and college life will be given all the members of the entering class at Brown University next year and it may be that an armrest and sympathetic word at the outset will help to kindle the young collegian's zeal and stiffen his backbone so that he will be in less danger if educational shipwreck."
Harvard answers by freshmen dormitories. Princeton attempts to cure the evil by preceptors.
Small numbers in classes, permitting a closer mutual understanding between the instructor and student, and a more personal contact among the faculties and student bodies,' is another recommended remedy.
Whatever is the answer to this need, the Dial is right in pointing out that an answer must be made.

Pabulum for the Highbrow
Why is education, and so if what?, one is almost prompted to ask this extremely sensible question after observing the attitude of some persons toward their examinations. One can infer from it that a fresher after handing in your tablet, sorrowfully telling him how hard the examination was, how miserably you did, and under what trying circumstances you were forced to take its eye trouble, headache, nervous tension, instruction from studying too much, etc.?
WHY AND WHAT
If you have written a poor paper, the professor is usually of sufficient intelligence to discover that fact himself without your kindly advice. No examination is purposefully made difficult; the instructor bases it upon what every one is supposed to know. That is, most instructors do of course offer a few exceptions. In most cases it is merely a confession of lack of preparation to complain about the severity of an examination.
exand. And, then the excuses. It is really a comic situation to hear some of the pathetic tales that are told. Most members of the faculty are human; the penitent usually forgets that small detail.
Is that the real spirit of education, to try to squirm through a back passage instead of manfully walking out the front door? It is a selfish attitude to hunt excuses for failure. Education is meant to train us to see ourselves as well as to observe others.
Yes, one is prompted to ask: "Why is education, and if so, what?—Ohio State Lantern.
Indiana University evidently had the same trouble that the University of Kansas is having in the matter of misclassification. We have in a checking system at their library. The following cleverly written article from the Indiana Student shows in a humorous manner the workings of the new
"SAME HERE"
"Down in the Library cloak-room, where they check your hat, coat and umbrella, so that the thieves won't get them when you leave the trailing final exams, the checks are neat white squares of cardboard, bearing the imprint of the University seal. The important part about them, though, or the important thing is that there is a paper clip dangling at one corner of the check.
The new check system went into effect Saturday afternoon and the usual large Saturday afternoon crowd of readers made the first test of the new warm-up room. The warm-up room was well tagged, for most of the men found it convenient to hang the tags in the region of their upper coat pockets. The scene might have been taken for a Hospital tag day, or an Epworth League convention where they tag who have been to punch wafers.
There were those, too, that put the checks in their pockets and got them all crumpled; but there was one brilliant student who put the tag neither on until he had drawn three books from the counter; then he paper-clipped the check to the front pare of one of them, tucked it neatly inside out of the way, and proceeded to study and look about the books. He took the books on the counter, the check still nearly enfolded in one of them. He thought of it only when he found his way to the cloak-room barred. He rushed back, but the books were ahead. He took the clock-rear of course. He didn't remember the particular one containing the check, so it took three fresh library slips to bring the book back. The check was eagerly clutched by the accountant and noted that the next time he would hang the check on his watch chain."

An Industrialous Student Comes to Want in a Far Country—He Ciphers
This is the story of an industrious student—like many students of both present and past—who was low, very low in cash, and was in need of a job, a side job to do. Like other students he liked a change of shirts at least once a week, and enjoyed a "dime-movie" or a "coke" probably once during the month. And like many industrious students went a hunting for some lucrative position.
In this district a landlady lived and she desired, some deserving lad of higher learning. Opportunity knocked at the door, but her students studied and heir him himself.
With application blank in hand the moneyless student knocked once at the portal of "Many Smiles." With chosen words he explained his mission to the desiring landlady, and in silent obedience he listened to the verbal outline of his prospective duties. Whatever the duties, he reasoned they ought to secure the change of shirts the once the week.

Morning prayers next week will be under the direction of Rev. F. V. Testerman, whose general subject will be "Salt". He will discuss salt, nails, and salt in society, salt in nation or politics, and salt in individual life.
"Morning prayers have been well attended the last few days considering the extreme cold weather," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, this morning, when asked about their success. "A number of loyal students still face the cold blasts, and it is to their credit that they do. On a whole, the attendance last semester was good, the average being seventy-six."

Expect to Put up Hard Fight at Indoor Track Meet Tuesday
Emporia, Kansas, February 3—Tryouts for the Normal-K. U. indoor track meet, which will be held in Lawrence next Tuesday, are being held this week at the Normal. The Emporia team's kind ever participated in the Normal athletics and much interest is being shown in the outcome of the meet.
Tuesday
The Normal track men have been practicing regularly since the Christmas holiday, but until this week have not done any hard work. The signing of the contract for the KU U , meet with Mr. Hawkers is working his men hard every night to be prepared to give the Jayhawkers a close meet.
Coach Hargiss expects his men to show up best in the sprints, and is relying on the Normal tracksters to take several firsts in the dashes. Galbraith and Harris are both fast men on the cinder track, but have never taken part in an indoor meet. Sharp, who is pushing himself, is expected to be showing in the weight events. Sharp has been pushing the shot around the 40-foot mark at practice, and it is believed he can easily increase the distance one foot or more in the tryouts. The Normal track team has been weakened in the distance events by the loss of Weber, the crack two-miler. Weber is threatened with pneumonia and will be unable to take part in the meet. Portwood, Bursch and Robinette are competing in the crack team last year, will have charge of the distance events for the Teachers.
Lockman who equaled the state record in high hurdles last year, has improved this year and will be a valuable man for the Normal in this event, in Monday's meet. Troyau in the game held Georgetown, King, Stites and Raymond are entered for the tryouts which will be held Thursday.
H. A. Rice, Professor of Engineering, will install a chapter of the Theta Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, at Rolla School of Mines, this week. He will also give an address to the Engineering Society there on the subject of the "Manufacture of Portland Cement."

Volume of Custom Exceeds Most Sanguine Hopes of Promoters
"Don't crowd, gentlemen. We will get to you all in just a few minutes. —Yes, we have just one more copy of that American Government. The price is marked in the front. —Sorry, but we are out of Societies. —Yes, we charge only 10 per cent for all sales. —Now who is next?"
Thus it has gone all the past week at the University's new book exchange. Neil Ireland and Chancey Hunter have been kept hopping from one end of the stall to the other, with a level below which satisfy the impatient crowds that clamored at the window for the cast-off text-books.
Judging from the volume of business transacted through the big window of Prof. W. H. Johnson's office during the past week, K. U. feels well satisfied with the work he has done in his Student Council. The project has met with a success beyond the expectations of its promoters. According to the figures furnished by the manager of the exchange and his assistants, $400 had been taken in by Thursday night, and prospects were so good Friday that the $200 mark would reach the $500 mark by Saturday night.
TOOK IN $175 ONE DAY
Twenty and Wednesday were the busy days. Three men were scarcely able to keep up with the crowds on those rush days. Wednesday's receipts were $175. This was the banner day. Students from the College were the best patrons of the exchange, although a large number of engineering texts and medical works were handled during the week. In the opinion of the men in charge this was due, partly because the dead people kept most of their old books, and partly because the exchange has not advertised itself so well to those departments.
Speaking of the success of the exchange and its prospects, Chaucey Hunter, who has been helping Manager Ireland handle the business, said. "We feel very gratified at the success of our venture, and believe that the exchange will eventually work itself into a cooperative book." He added that he books as well old ones when the business gets well started and the faculty stands back of the proposition with some real assistance.
W. C. Alford, a sophomore in the College, has left for his home in Hazelton and will not be in school this semester.
The exchange will close for the semester Monday or Tuesday, so that all students who have planned to purchase books or collect for books sold, will have to complete their business at once. The ex-ample is an and number of Spanish, Latin, French, German, and Greek readers and classics, which will be used in a few weeks by the different language departments. If students who know that they will need these texts would purchase them at once, they would be able to save money, and at the end they could wind up the business without turning back so many insoluble books
"At present we are hampered by the inconvenience of our quarters, and by the lack of a systematic plan for handling the books, but we intend to improve the service as soon as business allows. We have also agreed to number We have of the slowness with which the students took hold of the new idea. They were slow to bring in their books."
SENIOR WOMENS' MIXER

WILL SHOW KANSAS ART
Paintings by Prof, Griffith and Other Jayhawkers in Coming Display
Prof. W. A. Griffith, head of the department of drawing and painting at the University of Kansas, and five K. U. graduates, Lucile Brown, Wilma Arnette, Adie Underwood, Fern Eddie, and Gladys Nelson, will have pictures in the art exhibit on February 21 and last in floor of the Administration Building beginning February 21 and lasting two weeks.
Forty Kansas painters will be rep resented. There will also be twelve paintings from the National Gallery at Washington on exhibition. Among these, the most noted are the "Canaan," "Moonrise" and which Professor Griffith has insured for $5000, "Carnease Enfantine"—by Mary Cassatt, "Moonrise in Hills" by Ben Foster, and "Sunlight and Passing Storms" by Paul Dougherty. A new painting entitled "Dawn" by Professor Griffith has recently finished will be a feature of the exhibit of unusual interest to Kansans. He got his idea for this picture while attending a lecture on cowboy ballads, given last year at the University by Mr. Lomax of the University of Texas.
SHOW FAMOUS PAINTINGS
SHOW FAMOUS PAINTINGS
The exhibit has been shown at the University of Missouri and Nebraska. It is now at the Kansas Agricultural College, from which place it comes to K. U. The paintings will be sent from Lawrence to Emporil, and thence to Champaign, III.
Well known Kansas artists who have paintings, in the exhibit are Birger Sandzen, of Lindsburg, George M. Stone, of Topeka, Miss Coppedge, of Topeca, and Miss Elizabeth Sprague, of Wichita.
Eastern artists who are repres ented are William M. Chase, Kenyor Fox, Elliott Dingerfield, Mary Cassatt, Paul Dougherty, Ben Foster, Henry T. Ranger, D. W Tryon, Horatio Walker, Frederick J Waugh, J. Alden Wier, and Irving Wiles.
The W. S. G. A. has declared the date rule off for Tuesday, in favor of the Student Council benefit which will be given at the Varsity Treate The film is "Double Trouble," with Douglas Furner playing the lead.
The Student Council has paid off all of the debts which were left to them by last year's council and this took practically all of the money at benefit of this benefit is to secure money to accomplish some constructive work.
Because of the track meet the first show in the evening will not begin until 8:15 which will give every one an opportunity. The second show will start at 9:30.
The faculty committee on student living in the University of Oregon has estimated the expense account for a student batching at the University for one year to be $225. Living expenses are estimated for forty weeks at $100, clothing at $50, and fees and incidentals at $75.
Prof. Carl Preyer went to Independence and Parsons, Kansan, today where he will give recitals tonight and tomorrow night.
Gives Two Recitals
PROFESSOR NEVIN WILL
READ OPERA AT CLUB
The illustrated recital of the Indian opera "Poia," by Poif. Arthur Nevin, will be given at the University Club this evening. The recital will begin promptly at 8:30. Mr. Nevin, the composer of the opera, will sketch the theme of the libretto, interspersing it with other poems taken from the music of the opera.
After the recital refreshments will be served. This will be one of the evenings arranged during the year by the Student-mental committee of the University Club.
Take Vitazone—Be Well
Chemistry Laboratory Brings to Lighta Panacea That Will Cure Anything From a Toe-Ashe to a Retro-Active Liver
"Here is one of the latest", said Prof. G, N. Watson of the State Drug Laboratory as he handed a bottle to a Kansan cub.
The bottle was about the four-councise size and was partially filled with a browniish liquid which from its appearance might have been rain water from a roof of new shingles, the label pronounced it to be Vitzane, a cure for indigestion, constipation, bowel disorder, rheumatism, liver, heart failure, stomach stones, fresh cuts, sores, catarrh, ceamprosma, impaired blood and general disabilities. Internal dose. Half a teaspoonful in a half glass of water.
"Here is a little historical sketch," said Professor Watson as he handed the cub a small pamphlet which read like a fairy tale. In this pamphlet were testimonials praising highly the success of the process and a description of the process by which that wonderful cure-all is manufactured.
From the analysis made in the drug library it was found to be a 1.5 per cent solution of forrous sulphate which was about $70\%$ and about two per cent of free sulphuric acid. The retail price is fifty cents; the value of the ingredients is too small to estimate directly, but both so solution is sold," said Professor Watson.
"Vitazone is the pure liquid extract of mineral earth, made by leaching the mineral earth with water. The Vitazone earth is found in the Tombigbee river hills of southwestern Alabama. The earth is removed from the soil by the sap until it oxidizes, then placed in hoppers and percolated with pure water. The "drip" is Vitazone. It is the strongest natural liquid known, being of such strength it will burn the skin when applied at its strongest. It is one of the most powerful antiseptics and germicides known. It contains alcohol, added distillate and other chemical elements found in the water from which it is taken, and these are held suspended in pure water."
The 589 undergraduate students, who were employed last year through the Harvard Students' Employment Bureau, added $30,000 to their incomes. This amount shows a decrease of about 17% each year. This deficit is due to the faculty ruling, which abolished tutoring during the college term.
A statue of Era Cornell is to be erected at Ithaca during the coming celebration in honor of the founding of Cornell University.

ATTACK WAR FILM
Lawrence Ministers Denounce From Pulpit "Battle Cry of Peace" Pictures
Two Lawrence ministers, the Rev. Noble S. Elderkin of the Congregational Church and the Rev. O. C. Brown of the Baptist church, took as the theme for their sermons Sunday night the "Battle Cry of Peace." Both agreed that the moving pictures had been shown before the Lawrence people.
"The pictures should have been condemned," Mr. Eldikerin said, "because they were to the extreme of being a form of stupid, and of making only advocates of preparedness gentlemen. The producers acted on the assumption that war is fought now as it was in the past, and we must conquest of the feminine, and of brute lust. He directly charged that the pictures were fostered and backed by munction makers and that the films had an influence of the Fox Film Producing Company.
Mr. Elderin explained that he, like hundreds of other Lawrence people, had paid his fifty cents to see the pictures, and had acquired a number of ideas through the attempt of the militarists to arouse enthusiasm for further preparedness. He said that so long as he was prepared to favor of preparedness that he felt it his duty to do justice to the cause which he considered in the right.
OPPOSED TO T. R.
"These pictures," said Mr. Elderskin, "had the approval of the militarist; of such a man as the Theodore Roosevelt. I consider him the strongest advocate of preparedness that the world has, unless it be the Kaiser."
The pictures, with a slight change of setting could be shown in foreign countries to arouse the same antagonism against us. If no certain enemy was meant in the picture, then we might be warned that enemy might be England. Follow out that argument, the United States would of necessity need to amply forly herself against England along the Canadian boundary.
PRICE OF PEACE
“There are two ways of having peace according to most views,” concluded Mr. Elderkin, “and they are by the machine gun, aeroplane and submarine method, or else by the present method used in regard to our agreement with the United States of the Canadian boundary. I consider the method of playing fair to be the most just and the most effective. War is had at any price. The pacifist wishes to pay the full price. Milli- millimeters is merely a lull of inactivity. The preacher’s aim is good will, kindness, mutual regard and justice.”

SILENTLY ONE BY ONE
STUDES GET GRADES
A long restless line of college students, engineers and even the usually uninterested laws waited in front of the Registrar's window today for the results of last semester's work or play. Between classes the line sometimes grew unusually long and became too far for their grades, waited patiently.
Registrar Foster stated this morning that the giving out of grade would continue until all the students were satisfied but he added that this did not necessarily mean satisfied with grades.

Biggest Enrollment Expected For Week's Short Courses
Five hundred merchants for the Short Course this week is the conservative estimate of the enrollment for all five days, made by F. R. Hamilton, of the extension division who is in charge of the course.
At 11 o'clock this morning 106 merchants had reported to the registration office in Room 117, Fraser Hall, for a group of teachers who shown the smallest enrollment of any half-day in the course. A number of special cars are expected from the larger towns over the state, and with the Lawrence merchants, who will attend the classes, the prophesised that the classes will be crowded to capacity every day.
Work started at eight o'clock this morning with a class in card writing under the direction of F. J. Weeks of Joplin, Missouri. Mr. Weeks is connected with the Modern Trunk Faculty of Joplin, superintending the sign painting to his reputation as a commercial sign painter, he has become well known as an instructor in sign painting, and those who took the work under him last year vouch for his ability along this particular line. Mr. Weeks will be in the Engineering Building on the eighth hours out of every day during the week from 8 until 12 in the morning and from 1 until 5 in the afternoon.
SKILTON GIVES RECITAL
At 9 o'clock this morning Professor Skilton gave an organ recital in Fraser Chapel. Only about thirty merchants were present on account of the early start, barely started, but before the program was finished a good crowd had gathered.
"In a small town the merchant is better informed as to the integrity and financial status of the individuals composing it than any single person. In his work he gives him a great deal of power for good, and he is looked up to when sound and practical advice is needed." The speaker explained the benefit of improvements especially before retirement. His age, and he gave a good deal of practical information and advice concerning the right kind of paving and the supervision of the work by the townpeople themselves. He also helped them themselves and the growing interest that is being taken in them.
Otto Buerhmann of Chicago, instructor in salesmanship for the Carson Pirelli Scott Dry Goods Co., and the Hub stores of that city, this morning gave the first of a series of six lectures on salesmanship which he over during the week. The lecture the manager gave "How to Buy Profitably." It was given before a crowd of more than a hundred merchants.
J. B. MARCELLUS SPEAKS
J. B. Marcellus, of the Universal Cement Company of Kansas City, spoke to the merchants at 10:30 in the lecture room at the Engineering Building on "The Merchant and Public Improvement."
MANY ROUND TABLES
In speaking of the work of the University Extension Division in bringing the influence of the University to others than the younger student, I am reminded of the influence of the modern successful educational institution extends far beyond the prescribed work of the old colleges. Our colleges are now striving to improve the quality of human endeavor. They are seeking the betterment of all classes and conditions from a thoroughly practical point of view, thus including the medium designated as Extension Work that thousands never enrolled as students."
Mr. Marcellus showed the position of importance held in the average community, but especially the rural community, by the average meritorious to what extent he can wield a power or good or evil among his customers.
At eleven-thirty in the Engineering Building the plans for the various "round tables" were discussed by their respective chairmen. The round tables meet each day at four-thirty and there will be an open discussion of the following lines of attention at their respective meeting places: department chairs, ware, clothiers, furniture, shoes, auto supplies, general merchandise, groceries, druggists, clerks, secretaries.
At 5 and 7 o'clock this evening moving pictures will be 'shown in Fraser Hall. In the evening a

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1916.
A solitary man is either a brute or an angel. —Ital.
HAIL. THE MILLENIUM!
The stacks are to be open at night!
The millennium, long since due,
seems to have arrived. Henceforth
the physics clock may run; the legislature may give the University enough money to finish the Administration Building; the faculty may grant a College Day; the professors may cease holding classes overtime;
the directories may be out before spring and may even be correctly printed; and students may never flunk again—
The stacks are to be open at night!
Aside from the fact that it is regarded by some as a certain harbinger of the millennium—and furthermore, speaking seriously—the news that the stacks are to be kept open at night comes as mighty cheering news to Mr. Average Student. Nearly every one has been annoyed in times past because the stacks were not open after six o'clock.
Many students, representing a purposeful minority, have their outside work—that of providing daily bread and butter—so arranged that it has been $x$ absolutely impossible for them to do extensive reading that necessitated getting material from the stacks. To these students, the new system comes as a godsend.
Other students, who have been stirred by a restless desire to do reading on things not prescribed in their courses, have been hindered by the arbitrary rules of the library, which by this act have been in a measure mitigated.
And, again, it will prove a boon to the students who have the time during the afternoon but who would prefer spending a few stray moments in the evening delving in the hidden secrets of the stacks.
Students read little enough as it is, and any effort by the authorities to increase the amount, should be appreciated. The students who will use the stacks at night from necessity, from preference or by chance, thank Miss Carrie Watson for this latest sign of her sympathy with their interests.
AGE—FIFTY YEARS
A lusty, kicking youngster, with wide open eyes staring at the strange new world, was born fifty years ago. As years went by the child grew stronger, until today there is in place of a helpless infant, someone strong and useful to the world.
So it was with the Young Women's Christian Association. When first born into the world fifty years ago it was weak, but has grown with the years to be strong, full of life, always working for the good of young women.
At the banquet Tuesday night, University women celebrated the birthday of the organization, and congratulated each other on the success and good work that had been done by the
Association—and congratulations are in order from the entire student body. The Y. W. C. A. in the fifty years of its life has supported and carried out innumerable ideas that were of great help to women in religious and social life.
May the Young Women's Christian Association continue its good work! May it have many more birthdays, each marking the milestone of a 'year's good work.
Congratulations!
The nerve of some people! Why, some of those basketball teams have the presumption to come up to K. U. where the inventor of the game stays, and demonstrate how it should be played.
THE DEVIL AND THE SEA
THE DEVIL AND THE SEA
On with the dance closing question!
The University Senate is blaming the student organizations; the men and the women petitioners are blaming each other, with both of them combining to hurl invectives at the Senate.
The Senate while giving an evasive answer to all petitioners, murmurs under its breath, "there's more to this dance closing question, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy classes." The women who have petitioned the Senate ask for one hour of closing and the men are asking for another. And both are getting angry because neither suggestion is acted upon.
Far be it from us to unduly laud the merits of the University Senate, for they have always been wont to turn down our College Day schemes, our grading systems, etc., but in this case, they are acting in the right. Until the students organizations unite in their proposals as to the closing hour, the Senate has nothing to do but wait.
Axiom for sliding down Adams Street; Modesty is the best policy.
LET'S PULL TAFFY
The senior women have announced that they are going to have a real mixer, soon with taffy pulling and the good feeling of friendship that goes with such an evening. The best part of the announcement however, is that this first mixer is not to be the last one.
Seniors are beginning to realize that their time is growing short. Friendships are made in the University that last for a lifetime, and any entertainment that tends to make new friendships and cement old ones, is worthy of the highest commendation.
The men in the senior class, while as taffy pull might not appeal to them a great deal, could find considerable enjoyment in a good rousing smoker.
When will it be?
Properly speaking:—A. K. U. Eng-
lish professor.
"Some men mean by college spirit something finer than lawlessness, dissipation, and rowdyism. They mean the loyalty of an institution which makes a student guard its good name by being manly and courteous in conduct at all times and in all places. They mean the sense of responsibility which aids a student in forming habits of temperance and industry. They mean that eagerness to make a grateful use of his opportunities which leads a student to keep his own body fit, his mind alert and thoughts pure. By college spirit some men mean this and far more; they mean that loyalty to a college which rivets a man to the severest tasks of scholarship, through which he gains intellectual power and enthusiasm, without which no graduate is an entire credit to any college; and finally they mean that vision of an ideal life beyond commencement which shows a man that only through the rigid subordination of transient and trivial experiences can he hope to become the only great victory a university ever wins—a trained, devoted, and inspired alumnus, working for the welfare of nankind."—The Atlantic Monthly.
COLLEGE SPIRIT
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Advisers, the students' mental physicians, who administer courses destined to shape the college career of our students, to which they may go for intimate confidences regarding their work and instruction. in their hands alone, lies the fate of every student, for often words of cheer and encouragement during an academic crisis may weaken us with the pressure to forgive him to come out of the fray unsaddicted.

THE BUSINESS OF GREEK
Years ago when the good old-fashioned names of John, Charlie, Ezekiel and Silas were in vogue, there was no particular difficulty in distinguishing the sex by the name of John. It wasn't unnounced that John would take dinner at the home that night, it didn't fuss father one bit. He knew that John was only a man and that it would be perfectly permissible for him to welcome the guest without his collar. But the other hand, his loving offspring informed him that Myrtle was to be their guest, father at once began to throw fits all over the room. That meant that his hair must be smoothened with an oily clean and neat, his shoes polished and his necklace at the proper angle.

But now things are so different.
The modern daughter announces that Frances and Marion will arrive in their new racecar at 4:15, father immediately prepares to meet two charming young sportswomen. Instead, what happens? Daughter introduces him to two "molly coddles."
Again mother rushes frantically into father's den to tell him that she has just had a 'phone call from daughter saying that she is bringing Billy Smith home to lunch. Father demands to know whether Billy Smith is a boy, girl, man, woman or child. Mother judges Fohl his connection to the nightlight a boy. Father's joy knows no bounds. He can greet Billy in his den with a good old smelly pipe in his mouth.
But Behold! when daughter ushers in a vision of loveliness, eyes aglow and hair acuire- and introductory to the sand-and father proceeds therewith to wilt.
DANCING
There are 52,400 bound volumes of books and magazines in the library of the Kansas State Agricultural college.
That a student's line of activity after getting out of college is not necessarily bounded by proxie law, medicine, or business, is shown by a California graduate's taking up the business of an interpretive dancer and scoring a decided success within six months after graduation. The following from the Daily Californian gives the whole story:
2696
P. F.
To rise in six months from the part of an amateur interpretive dancer in the Greek Theatre to the position of dancing partner with the world famous Pavilion has been the monumental fortune of H. J. Stowits 75
While in college, Stowitz studied commerce, graduating last May with his bachelor's degree.
A few days ago, Stowitt's big opportunity came. Pavlova had inadvertently another famous Russian ballet to witness her last New York appearance, and she was famously "Adagio" from Faust, Voiline, met with an accident which kept him from appearing. Stowitts was chosen to take his place, and with only two hours' practice, he filled the part of the missing star, Pavlova, in her recalled with his partner, the "incomparable Pavlova."
The story of Stowits' leap into prominence is short and sudden, but his rise was due as much to his own consistent efforts as to good fortune. He was also the first Greek Theatre he advised him to secure a vaudeville engagement to gain stage confidence. Stowits did this, and was so successful that he became Russian ballet when he met her again in Chicago a short while after.

Historian Will Take Position In Minnesota University Next Year
PROF. BECKER RESIGNS HOLDS FOURTH PLACE
Carl Becker, professor of European history and a noted historian, has accepted a position at the University of Minnesota, his resignation to take effect at the end of the school year. It is also expected that the negie pension caused his action, although he will receive a smaller salary than he is getting here.
Professor Becker came to the University of Kansas in 1902 as an assistant professor, and was promoted to a full professorship in 1908. Although European History is his field, he has written several authoritative works on American history. His best known books are "The Politics of the Federal Republic" and "Political Power in America" and "History of Kansas." He is also one of the authors of the American Historical Review and is a constant contributor to it.
Professor Becker was born at Lincoln, Iowa, in 1873. He is a graduate of Cornell, University of Wisconsin, and Columbia. Before coming to Kansas he was instructor in history at Pennsylvania and Dartmouth.

Kansas Basketball Five Defeats Washington University Team By Large Scores
Kansas now holds fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference League, since her victories of last week over Washington quintet at St. Louis. The count was 30 to 16 PRI night and 43 to 13 Saturday night.
With Kansas playing Missouri, Wednesday and Thursday, and the Kansas Aggies tackling Nebraska, Friday and Saturday, this week is expected to be the crucial one of this year's Conference championship race. The teams will play in Valley schools with an ever victorious record of six games won. If the Aggies can but break even with the Huskers in Lincoln this week, the Manhattan five will have ac lean road to championship until the two games with Missouri late this month in Manhattan. A good line on the Tigers will be a big factor in Kansas-Missouri series. A. K. U. victory will practically eliminate the Tigers, the Aggies having defeated Kansas by a good margin in two games.

BIGGER THIS YEAR
The enrollment in the short course this year is expected to exceed that of last year by almost two hundred. The course this year is scheduled for a full week, and its popularity is proved by the fact that the enrollment cards show students not only from all over the state of Kansas, but from Oklahoma, Missouri and even Texas.
On the first day of the course last year by three o'clock in the afternoon 37 merchants had enrolled. If the experiences of the past two years repeat themselves there will be over seven hundred merchants here, for experience has shown that each half day for the first three days of the course, enrollment, and this year the course will continue for five days. The total enrollment last year was 311, while year before last the total reached only 267.
The extension department has gone to a great deal of trouble in finding accommodations for the visitors, but rooms have been found at the University. The date all of those who have not made other arrangements. The ladies of the Christian Church are serving a noon meal at Myer's Hall so that the merchants will have plenty of time to sit down and their lectures promptly at 1:30.

PRODUCE AT A LOSS
That 50 per cent of the merchants of the United States handle produce at a loss and that a minority of these merchants lose more than the net profit of the resulting merchandise from the University Extension Division in his address this afternoon in Marvin Hall on "How to Handle Produce."
Sources of loss were enumerated as: inferior quality of produce for which full price is paid; express charges and shipping expenses; additional labor and labor required to value produce; errors in computing value of produce.
To lack of knowledge of the expense of handling produce and of the net receipts of sales was assigned the cost for the merchants' losses on produce.
As a means of overcoming these unnecessary losses. Mr. Ingham suggested the keeping of a separate account of produce transactions which would show the merchant at any time exactly whether it was making his business suitable forms for keeping this separate record were shown.
A knowledge of the cost of handling produce was emphasized and the cooperation of the merchants in each town was suggested as a means of establishing standards of buying produce.
MERCHANTS SHOULD MAKE TEXTILE TESTS—MISS ALLEN
Merchants may do a great service to their customers by making textile tests, according to the statement of Miss Hazel K. Allen, of the domestic rubber company, that these afternoon in Fraser on "Practical Tests for Textile Fabrics."
"Buyers today have no way of determining the purity of the goods they buy and goods are often sold for wool or silk. But we sell them with cotton or linen," said Miss Allen.
She explained the burning tests for the different fabrics and distinguished between the feel and tear of wool, silk, cotton and linen goods.
By the aid of charts the simplest chemical tests of boiling for determining cotton and by applying nitric acid as a test for wool clothing. The most useful of the results of these tests on goods sold for linens and on flannel and cotton goods.
Many of the numerous retail merchant seems to speak two English languages: one in their talk with a customer over the counter, simple straightforward selling talk; and the other in their ads, the extravagant, bombastic. The trouble is pencil shyness. A little practice will cure it. It isn't necessary that when a man begins to write he should stop being natural. This and 56 other axioms of ad-writing were handed to the retailers attending the merchants' week courses at the N Flint institute in advertising in the department of journalism.
"Have you ever seriously considered hiring mutes as salesmen? Then don't run a store store or write letters to potential customers, Mr. Flint. "Some retail retailers,"

Thirty Jayhawker Speedsters Line Up Tonight in Gym Against Normals
BRIGHT SEASON FOR K. U
The 1916 K. U. track season will be officially started tonight at 7:30 in Robinson Gymnasium when the Jaya-hawk tracer speedsters line up with the Kansas Normals from Emporia, in the initial meet of the year.
With the best early season prospects in recent years, Kansas expect to make a clean sweep tonight. Crimson and Blue athletes are expected to take firsts in every event on the program with the possible exception of a conservative estimate of the school's points to Kansas and the remaining thirty of the possible eighty to the Teacher athletes.
At least six new K. U. athletics will make their debut tonight and if this sextette does half as well as they have in practice, the crowd will have little chance to kick. In the hurdles two of the newcomers, Winn and Tiffany, will be seen along with the veteran Elliott. In the awkward hawker entries in the sprints will be Davidson and Hilton, also recruits. Both men are expected to do big things before the season ends. Hilton is a brother of Kirk Hilton, Varsity spinner and K man for the past three seasons, while "Davy" comes from St. Louis where his suit has its stamp on so many other good men in K. U. athletics.
SIX NEW MEN ON DECK
Although of no value from a championship standpoint, tonight's meet will be an important one to Coach Hamilton's team for it will give William Patterson what the men who have been showing so well in practice, can do in actual competition. Not being a Conference affair, the number of entries will not be restricted to the usual sixteen in an indoor dual meet and Hamilton expects to give at least thirty matches a chance to show their ability.
In the quarter and relay will appear "Humpy" Campbell, former Topeka high school star, whose time has been little behind that of Rodley's. "Dick" Treweks will handle the high jump with Miller, and the last of the six, Evan Groone, will race with Graft, Statiele, and Howland in the two mile.

PRACTICE ON DANCES FOR ALL-UNIVERSITY PART
The first practice of the Minuet, one of the special features of the All-University Colonial Party, will be held in Robinson Gymnasium, in charge of Dr. Alice Goetz. Though the minuet was given last year in the Colonial Party, the repetition will be repeated with variations which will be introduced.
Besides the Minuet, an hour's program will be given by the School of Fine Arts at the party, which is scheduled for the 26th of this month in Robinson Gymnasium. The reception will follow this part of the program, which will be concluded by the social dancing.
The floor manager of the evening is Chancey Hunter. He is to be assisted by Arthur Nigg and Forest Miller. The committee for this party will be appointed and published at a later date.

TEACHERS TO ENROLL IN
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Students who desire to enter in upon the profession of teaching will be instructed in the use of the university bureau for that purpose at a meeting to be held in the Snow Hall lecture room at 4:30 Friday. At that time the enrollment in the employment bureau will begin.
The service of this bureau is free Glasco, and E. S. Price. seniors, who will this year take their bachelor degrees in the School of Education. This meeting is an annual institution for the benefit of those who are to receive their teacher's certificate.
CO-EDS ARRANGE GAMES
Freshman and Sophomore Women Announce Schedule for Basketball Contests
The women's basketball schedule for freshman and sophomore teams has been definitely arranged, and several games are to be played this month. Games with the Polytechnic Institution at Kansas City, the Lawrence high school, and the preliminary and final games between freshman and sophomore teams have been scheduled.
Tuesday evening at 7:15, the freshman team will cross swords with the Lawrence high school girls in the Manual Training Gymnasium at the campus. "All women are cordially invited to attend this game," said Miss Hazel Pratt. "The girls, who have been practicing for the last three months, are in good shape and I look for a good team." Lawrence high school Tuesday evening.
The freshmen women have been faithful followers of the cause. While most of the students are laughing and chatting in their different clubs, the usual noon silence in the Robinson Gym has been broken by shrill whistles, the tramping of many feet, and an occasional thump of a basketball. For the past several weeks, the noon hour has been the only time when the freshmen team could all mediate and not find the floor covered with cobwebs, or the terrific formation of track warfare, they have been eating their lunches in the gym and devoting this hour to basketball practice.
The first intercollegiate basketball game ever played by University women is scheduled for February, the day of the women's team meeting when the sophomore team meets the Kansas City Polytechnic women. An admission of ten cents will be charged, which will go to make up the cost of the Women's Athletic Association.
The preliminary games between the four teams of freshmen and sophomores are scheduled for Saturday, February the 19th, at 2 o'clock in the Robinson Gymnasium. The final will be on Saturday the 23rd, just preceding the banquet to be given at this time by the Women's Athletic Association.
NUMBER OF NEW STUDENTS
PASSES HUNDRED MARI
New registrations this semester totaled 115, according to the latest figures from Registrar G. O. Foster, and total up to 2921 for this year.
"The new registrations th' semester have not been as numerous as we had expected," Mr. Foster said this morning.
Of the new registrations, the college leads in number with seventy. Next in order are the engineers with seventeen, the graduate school and the fine arts with ten each. Seven new pharmacies and a solitary new registration in the school of medi- student to the school students transferred from one school to another at the close of last semester.
No accurate count has been made of the new students as to classes, because many of them offered advanced credit from other institutions which was allowed provisionally, pending investigation. This makes many uncertain as to what class they really belong in.

ETCHINGS ON EXHIBITION TALK TO HELEN KELLER
Works of Famous Artists May be Seen in Ad. Building
Nearly two hundred etchings are on exhibition in Room 304 Administration now and will be until Saturday February 12. This exhibit will be open every day except Sunday from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning and-from 1:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon, free to everyone.
Many of the etchings are by such artists as John W. Cotton, London, Sears Gallagher, Otto J. Schneider and Bertha E. Jaques, and all are for sale at the price marked on each picture.
A pamphlet "Concerning Etchings" by Bertha E. Jaques, giving a complete, concise description of how etchings, dry-points, and mezzotints are made will be procurable for a small consideration. The process of producing an etching is as follows:
A polished copper plate is first covered with a thin coat of wax, which is then blackened by the smoke of a wax taper. The artist draws his design with a steel needle cutting lines through the wax covering. The plate is then sub-embedded in some acid which will attack and eat the copper wherever it has been laid bare by the artist's needle. The longer the acid acts the wider and deeper the lines become, the more ink they will hold and the blacker they will show when printed. Hence, when the lines that are to show in the picture as the edge of an engraving are enough, the plate is removed from the acid and these are filled up with varnish which the acid will not touch. The plate is again bitter; additional lines are again 'stopped out'; and the process is repeated until there are several sets of lines broken into depths. After this, the wax is removed, the plate is cleaned, and it is printed in the same manner as any copper engraving.
The staff of the 1916 Jayhawker may be writing one of the best annuals ever published at K. U., but there is a rumor being spread abroad that it doesn't practice what it preaches.
RUMOR LEAKS OUT ON
THE JAYHAWKER STAFF
For some months the business manager of the book, one Ross Busenbark by name, has been urging upon the student body the great necessity of their having pictures for the book taken at once. Seniori, Juniors, sophmores and all organizations have been repeatedly asked to the persistent photographers. Owing to the persistence which the manager kept after the matter, nearly all Jayhawker pictures have been taken.
However, according to E. M.
Johnson, there will be no more delay.
The members of the staff will step
in at Squires' studio Wednesday
noon.
And then the book can go to press
—maybe?
The Jayhawker board hasn't been photographed yet!

Journalists Listen to Woman Who Is Deaf
The advanced students in Journalism who reported the Southeast Kansas Teachers' association at Coffeyville last Thursday and Friday, reaped something more than practice they talked with Miss Helen Keller.
Miss Keller took the regular four-year course at Radliffe college and received her degree. Mrs. Mary, who had taught her from early childhood, sat by her side during lectures and translated them into language. She also read the reference books into Miss Keller's hand.
During examinations, Miss Keller worked alone. A blind teacher was always sent for by the Radcliffe schoolian in front of her into the raised-point system.
liked economics and philosophy best." Keller said. "Do you like them?"
The visitors did.
"I think they fit one for life. No education is true education unless it teaches men that happiness is rooted in the happiness of all. I don't like mathematics," she added, "I was taught to be cheerful and she laughed at her short-coming. One of the visitors confessed having taken the subject.
"You have my sympathy;" said Miss Keller.
The reporters told her that quizzes had just been held.
"I hope they went off well, and I can sympathize with you again."
Miss Keller expressed great fondness for Dickens and for DeMorgan, but she was unable to name the novel which inspired her. She likes Tolstoy for his views.
Miss Keller talked directly to her visitors. Her secretary spelled the questions into her hand and she repeated them aloud. Miss Keller, it must be remembered, has never heard the sounds of the words she speaks. Her accent is necessarily understood; she can easily be understood. But it has a strong, guttural tendency, but it has no hard to understand than that of a foreigner who talks brokenly. She says that it does not tire her in the least to talk although she appears to be talking with great effort.

NEW EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
TO AID NEEDY STUDENTS
An employment bureau is to be established by the department of education within the University in order to assist teachers recently graduated from the University to teach internationally trained themselves and to aid undergraduate to choose fields of work in which there is the greatest demand. The new department is an outgrowth of the bureau of appointments and the department of education of the University, which have in the past acted as a medium between schools of the state and teachers.
By this new plan a student will file an application stating the sort of position that he desires. He will be given expert advice concerning the courses best adapted to this sort of work and from time to time a course may be offered to employees available for various kinds of employment will be sent out to employers of the state. Another part of the new bureau's activities will be the providing, as far as possible, of summer work for students who are making their way through school, learning in the city or for work is more or less experimental, positions that will provide experience in their lines.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, director of the university's bureau of appointments, will have charge of the new bureau.

Prof. A. L. Owen, of the department of Romance Languages was unable to meet his classes yesterday because he was summoned by the district court to serve as interpreter in the trial of Cliff Jordan, a negro accused of the murder of Feliciano Guitiertez, a Mexican track laborer.
The work of interpreting is a difficult one, because the creed of the Mexicans is that if the injured person gets well, he can settle the difficulty of hearing while he is alone or other person is still inside of the game. The Mexicans also have a deep distrust of the courts and almost invariably refuse to talk whenever they are questioned about their case. They exact processes of the court. Prof. C. J.

New Arrivals Swell Attendance on Second Day To Equal of Last Year's Total

Majority Plan to Attend Complete Course of Lectures
Merchants coming in today to attend the Merchants' Short Course swelled the already large enrollment almost to the mark of the total enrollment last year. Merchants came yesterday from Missouri and Oklahoma, and presentatives from towns in Nebraska and Iowa attended at Mr. Hamilton's office at 117 Presser. Registered on the list are at least one lawyer, a public accountant and a number of travelling salesmen. Outside of Lawrence, which will be represented on the lists by more than twenty-five merchants, Salina seems have sent the most representatives. Elaine has already registered from there, and there are a number more expected today and tomorrow.
WILL STAY WHOLE WEEK
A larger percentage of the merchants than usual have signified their intentions of staying in Lawrence throughout the entire course. It has been the case often, especially with those merchants who live in the vicinity of Lawrence, to come down for a day or two or even for one lecture, and to return without staying and mixing with the other merchants and gathering some of their ideas at the dawn and in the discussions which follow even during this course this year will last two days longer than in previous years, more merchants are planning to attend all the sessions than last year.
A number of the towns have sent the secretaries of the Commercial Clubs so that all the merchants in their home towns may participate in the ideas shared by those who attend Meetings for the discussions of the sessions and the information of otherwise scattered bits of information will follow the trips of the Commercial Club secretaries to the Short Course.
HAMILTON IS BUSY
F. R. Hamilton, of the extension division who has charge of all the meetings, is the busy man of the Hill. He attends every session and introductory meetings and shares of the guests, and stands are sponsible for all the work in the office. Outside of all that, and working to see that all the visitors and the speakers are cared for and on deck at the proper time, and seeing that the speaker starts off in the right manner, Mr. Hamilton has nothing to do.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1916
A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
One of the questions that is scheduled to come up before the present session of Congress is the proposal to establish a national university. The idea is not new, a bill having been introduced to that effect at the last session of Congress. It has every chance for careful consideration and will be one of the live topics of consideration for national educators this year.
The plan was proposed by Representative Fess, who is also president of Antioch College, Ohio. As discussed in an editorial recently in the Indianapolis News, it has for its purpose, the establishment in Washington of an institution known as the National University of the United States to promote the advancement of natural science and of the liberal arts and fine arts by original research; and to provide for the higher instruction of men and women for posts of responsibility in the public service of state or nation. It will work in conjunction with the federal government, agricultural colleges and state universities.
There seems to be some doubt as to the constitutionality of such an act, although some of the leading justices of the country have been quoted as holding the opinion that Congress could legally pass such an act.
The exact work of such an institution has not been given extensive publicity, but the scope of a national university would be limitless. After the war is over, the German universities may have lost much of their prestige. The United States will be the logical country to carry on the wonderful educational ideas that have been thought heretofore to be the direct province of Germany. Such an institution as the national university might easily be, would do a great deal toward making the United States the leading educational country of the world.

E. W. H.
The Daily Kansan has many friends among the faculty members, and Prof. Carl Becker of the history department is one of the best of them. He has always taken a lively interest in the doings of the paper and has frequently sent in communications on timely subjects, all, of them written by professors and peculiar to Professor Becker. The following article comes from him:
ON SOCIETIES
At the Convocation next Friday there will be announced the names of the nine young women who, since their election last May, have constituted the active members of The Society. They are honored with the Society's honor society; and although it is one of the influential societies in the University, there are many students who have doubtless never heard of it, or, having heard of it, have forgotten it. But if you know about them, ever, for the Torch is not only a secret society but a society devoted to an object which can be attained only on condition that the names of the members remain concealed during the greater part of the year. It might be as an indication for promoting good causes in organized manner.
This is certainly an age of organizations, an age of machinery, from the social as well as from the mechanical point of view. That organization goes on without saying, for there are many things that can be effectively done only through systematic cooperative effort. Yet there are some things that can be better done in other ways. For example, a Society for the Manufacture and Diffusion of Delicious and Malicious Scandal works to raise awareness which it existed. A member of such a society would at once be suspect; no one would believe anything he might say about any one else. Now this, in general, is the defect of all organized parties and societies, that its members are likely to be judged in terms of the chairman, the committee, the parate, rather than individual, motives are attributed to them. If a newspaper, let us say, denounces President Wilson's Mexican policy, the argument may seem plausible until you learn that the editor is the chairman of the committee. Or perhaps a student, at election time, shows himself unaccountably friendly to you, and incidentally dilates on the excellent qualities of a certain candidate for office. Who is that fellow? you ask Oh, he is an Alpha Delta. That places him. It is the same with good causes as with bad. A young woman exhibits strong indignation against the practice of late parties or cheating in examinations; but if it transpires that she is President of the Y. W. C. A. you shrug your shoulders. The course of being identified with a society is that one's conduct is apt to be judged, not on its merits, but in terms of the known interests or the obvious bias of the society. The individual
becomes submerged in the organization.
How fine it would be, then, if every student would, on his own initiative and apart from any party or class or society, set himself to work disinterestedly, without regard to their worth while in the University. It was precisely to effect this end, in part at least, that in 1912 a group of senior girls formed themselves into the society called The Torch. It was to be a society, without any organized interests to serve; not so much a society as simply a group of girls, prominent in the affairs of the University, and recognized leaders among the women of the university, without any interest to work individually, on their own hook, for those that knew were obviously to be desired. For this reason the society as an organization had to be kept in the back ground, had to be a kind of self-denying organization; and the students must know that the names of the members should not be generally known.
It is not for the purpose of calling attention to the society of The Torch that these remarks are printed, but to point out that each student should know all of the purpose which gave rise to the Torch,—might well assume a sense of personal responsibility for the promotion of good causes. And therefore let every student remember about the Torch to remember only the purpose which inspires it.
The Torch consists, so far as the active society is concerned, of nine girls, elected each May by the retiring members and a committee of the faculty. At least seventy hours of school attendance is required activity for leadership, and the disposition to take an active part in what are called Student Affairs, are the qualifications for membership. The charter members of The Torch were Lucie March, Isabel Thomas, Grace Wilkie, Burlurd Burckell, Nell Martindale, Mace Rossman, Gale Gossett, and Nelle Helen Burckell. The office of president was held by Lucie March, Emily Zwick, Marie Sealy, and Marie Heedrick. In all matters of vital import to the University the members of the society have taken an active individual interest; but they have devoted themselves more particularly, perhaps, to the promotion of a proper attitude towards matters as honesty in examinations, the subordination of social functions and amusement to the more fundamental work of the college, the observance of social regulations, and in general to the inculcation of the spirit of loyalty to the University and its abiding interests. And during the period when accomplished by the members of the society, in a quiet way, along all of these lines,
HOW TO TELL STORIES
In any kind of a voting contest to find the greatest bore, the one who tries to tell stories and never fails to make the story uninteresting by his failure to use the simple rules, would run far ahead of the entire field.
In an attempt to educate these story tellers, the Kansas State College interviews one of its professors. The article follows:
It is an art to be able to tell an anecdote or a humorous story well, according to Dr. J. K. Macarthur, as professor of the English language.
"The point of some stories depends upon a central word, phrase or sentence. The teller should always pause a second before speaking the word, emphasize it, and pause a second after the expression.
"The last sentence often contains the point of the story and many story tellers let this important part slide, as did the man who was loading a bacon packet when he joined the 12 o'clock whistle blew, and with the same disastrous effect.
"Most people are inclined to tell a story too rapidly and much of the effect is lost. Tell a story deliberately and have it well in mind, so there need be no hesitation and the story will be smooth and finished.
The University of Pennsylvania baseball team may take a trip to Honolulu in the summer with favor by the athletic authorities of that institution.
"Good story tellers never laugh at their own stories. They are as the professional comedians who are the most melancholy people in the world, both on and off the stage. It is the nature of the humorist to be the contrast between what he seems to be and what he really is.
Regents at the University of Oregon Regents have authorized the erection of a $40,000 building for the School of Education and the Law Department.
"All good story tellers begin with ease and deliberation—never forgetting to articulate strongly. Then when they get to the point of the story it stands out clean and plain." —Collegian.

You can't shave against the "grain" and that's what you try to do every time you use a safety razor. The safety razor is alright, but you're not a barber and you can't shave with one without running the risk of
SKIN ERUPTIONS AND INGROWN HAIRS
You're in a hurry to get there after postponing that shave all day, or the light is poor, or the blade is dull, or the lather is cold—you know there's always something wrong when you start to shave yourself. You get it done somehow and hurry out into the cold. The next day your face is sore. That's the result of hasty shaving against the grain. You can't shave any other way with a safety razor.
Getting shaved at Houk's is more economical, more satisfactory, and easier on the skin. If you are having this experience with a safety razor, come to us, today. We treat your skin.

Before one of the largest crowds that ever attended any social function of the University Club, Prof. Arthur Nevin gave his illustrated recital of his Indian opera, "Poia," at the club house last night.
Weaver's
Date Rule is Off Tonight For Council Benefit Show at Varsity
Professor Nevin sketched the story of the opera, and illustrated it by singing selections from the opera. Many of these songs are without words, being exact representations of the chants of the Blackfoot Indians, but some have English words written for them. Mr. Nevin lived for two years among the Blackfoot people in Montana, and so skilled their music and gathered material from which he composed the opera. "Poia" ranks high among the modern operas and has even been accepted by the Roya' Opera in Berlin.
The story of the opera concerns the Indian prophet, Poetia, who in his wanderings had visited the Sun-god, and who later was sent to the sun-worship. It was only by constant and intimate association with this tribe of Indians during the two years that Mr. Nevin was able to gain their trust and confidence about their religion and their music.
The recital was one of a series of ladies' evenings arranged by the committee on entertainment for the year. Refreshments were served.

McGowan to Present Southeast Campus Entrance
Mr. M. W. Gowan has given the city a forty-foot roadway which will provide the campus with a southeast approach, the absence of which has been a source of vexation to the University people for many years. The city commissioners met this morning and accepted the grant.
Although no definite time has been set to begin the work on this approach it is probable that at least a good sidewalk to the campus will soon be built. Besides making an appropriate entrance for the siders the new roadway when completed will do much to beautify the campus.

Ancient Superstition Failed To Save Two Victims of Mad Dog
Eleven persons were bitten by a mad dog in Olizet, Kans., last week. Nine went to the University Hospital at Rosedale, and were cured by the stitches. Ten more two applied the time-honored "madstone" and died from hydrophobia.
Gradually Kansans are finding out that the "madstone" is an unreliable remedy. Its widely-heralded curative powers are only those which a ball of packed hair possesses; in fact, the mad stone is hair which cows lick from their sides and which becomes knotted in a ball in their stomachs. Medical experts say there is no more healing power in a "madstone" than in so much hair from any other animal annually. It is also used in claws with that other superstition that a horsehair left in a puddle of water will become a snake.
In the last year, 130 cases of hydrophobia have been treated at the University Hospital. In private hospitals, these pasture treatments cost one hundred dollars each, but they are administered freely by the university of Kansas to citizens of Kansas. This treatment of 130 cases saved people of the state thirteen thousand dollars last year—and the total appropriation given to the hospital was only twelve thousand dollars.

The other day a University student went into a drug store to buy a hot chocolate. Displayed in the glass case underneath the table were combs, brushes and other articles which would take away a person's appetite. Add to that the fact that the chocolate was watery and you have—well, to say the least, a lost customer.
If that man had been an advertiser in the Daily Kansan, this thing would not have happened. The owner of that store doesn't know how much he has lost through that little indiscretion. If you ask the students who advertise in the Daily Kansan receive suggestions from students in advertising about the little things in their business that count. They don't know it, but once every day a day some member of the advertisers in the store "tipping" around and looking out for the welfare of every advertiser.

Handling of meat from the stock pen to the cook was shown to the grocers and butchers at the short course of training pictures. It was the first time that the new projection machine which the University extension division has purchased has been put to use, was only installed yesterday morning.
The first reel of the pictures showed a general view of the Chicago packing plant of Sulzberger & Sons. Processes involving the meat for market were shown
The ly-products, wool, oeo, hair for upholstering, sheep pelts, and strings for musical instruments and tennis rackets were illustrated and the treatment of each shown down to the packing and shipping stage.
SERVICE IS WATCHWORD OF MARSHAL FIELD & CO.
Service in merchandising—that is the one point that has enabled Marshall Field and Company to build up its trade to the proportion that it possessed. That led D. Heller of Chicago, advertising manager of that firm, told the merchants last night in Fraser Hall. M. Heller showed several reels of motion pictures to illustrate what his company in the manufacture of cotton goods.
The series of pictures that was shown constituted a complete history of a piece of cotton cloth from the picking of the cotton to the finished gin from the field through the gin and mill where it is made into yarn and dyed to the mill where the cloth is woven were shown in great detail. Mr. Heller also showed several garments before the movie-lecture started.
The first part of the evening's program consisted of two selections by the University glee club, which won much aplause.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking gave a recitation "Old Ace" by Fred Emerson Brooks. Professor MacMurray told how Mr. Brooks came to write the poem. The second recitation was a dialect poem by the same author, entitled "Dut Goat Vor Nootings he read the second poem he read a parody in Norse dialect on "The Courtship of Miles Standish." The parody was arranged by William F. Kirk.

"I have purchased considerable mail-order merchandise and placed it in my store for comparison," he said. "I have tried to be fair, not alone with my customers, but with the mail-order houses as well, and I have been able to have been in the grocery line, yet 1 am convinced that the mail order houses are giving splendid values for the money. It is not my belief that mail-order competition can ever be met by the merchant taking the position of mail-order goods are inferior nor by any other such talk to knock."
"Instead of expecting that the farmer must trade in the town regardless of what you are charging him for his merchandise or what service you are rendering, try and consider that you have a duty to perform in community building by keeping in line with the law. You must make that town a good place in which to trade by first bringing your store and its policy up to standard."
Myrle Irene Mitchell Presents The
Carlo Grand Opera Co.
Mr. Cowley thinks that the credit system, or lack of it, among small town merchants is detrimental. He advocates putting retail business on as nearly a completely cash basis as possible. He also told the merchant how the mail-order shipments in his town were checked up by a trade map of the cities which were most frequently ordered from the mail-order concerns, it was found that by the cooperation of the jobbers, the mail-order prices could almost invariably be met. Customers were offered a forfeit of one dollar in case their merchant could not duplicate any order made up from the mail order price list maintaining, of course, the reservations of the big business. Mr. Cowley believes that buy his customers' produce at market prices allowing only a sufficient margin to enable him to get the goods to market.

First comes the personalities of the men upon whom you must depend for success. To be useful in building a good organization they should have驾龄, experience or technical knowledge of the particular field, skill, tact, energy, grit, honesty, judgement and good health, Professor Gilman said.
"Study the mail-order situation in your town," he advised the merchant. "Avail yourself of the help that is awaiting you from your jobber and manufacturer, know your trade and know what to feel the need are trying to work for their interests. Fight for the mail-order business out in the open."
"Your associates should be sociable, self-possessed, confident, courageous, courageous, generous, optimistic, buoyant, open-hearted," he explained.
He took all the questions which are likely to arise in the mind of a man about to enter into a financial deal, pointing out the dangers and risks to his position on which he have a clear understanding before closing a deal.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 9, 1916.
Manager Says Prospects For Store Are Good
That the University Book Exchange was a success is amply proved by the volume of business done during the past week and a half. Neil Ireland, the promoter and manager of the new venture, closed up the exchange yesterday and will only open for a few weeks before Christmas Friday to pay out the last of the money on book sales and to return the few unsold copies not yet called for.
The total amount of money taken at the Book Exchange desk at Professor Johnson's window in Fraser Hall was $162.56. The total number of volumes returned was 798,417 volume. There were 300 books left on the Exchange unsold which have been returned to their owners. These were mostly French, German, and English classics which were not in use. There were 57 books returned to the total number of books handled was 770.

own exchange, buying and selling new and old books. One pharmacy text was listed but not sold. Only a few medical books were listed, but the demand for them was large. The same case is in regard to engineering texts.
WOMEN BEST BUYERS
Dean F. W. Blackmar called early at the exchange desk and inquired whether any sociology texts had been brought in and when told not, he appeared to be greatly pleased. He said that it went to show that his students who did not sell their texts were thoroughly interested in the course.
Neil Ireland, who has been largely responsible for the installation of the exchange, said that the women of the University took much more readily to use the text and fact that the men far outnumber the women enrolled. Several members of the faculty took advantage of the exchange to buy and sell texts. Prof. E. H. Sargent, a management listed a philosophy which was easily sold. Prof. W. H. Johnson, in whose office the exchange was conducted, bought and sold several volumes. Prof. C. G. Dumpl and Prof. Doughttt also used the exchange.
The Book Exchange will without doubt be opened again in the spring to take in books to be sold to summer students. The students may list their books in the spring and if not sold at that time the exchange will hold them over without further charge until fall and thus the individual student storage rent.
PLAN FOR CO-OP STORE
"In the exchange as we ran it here we had nothing to lose. The expenses amounted to only two dollars. I saw the exchange as it was worked at Emporium and desired to see it given a trial at the University. Because we put it in, however, the council authorized the committee to collaborate with the Universities of Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, California, Oregon, and the Kansas State Agricultural College. Material was also secured through
"We hope to give the students next year a co-operative book store where they can not only exchange old books but also buy new ones and stationery," said Neil Ireland in telling of his plans for the future success of the ex-campaign. He adds that the system similar to that used at the University of Wisconsin. There the co-operative store is maintained and students buy shares at two dollars; dividends are declared each semester. Students holding shares in the store must pay $150 per cent per cent above the cost price all others at ten per cent above.
Arnold Nordstrom, who had a larger
collection of informational books,
exchanged in the university.
The exchange was under the direction of the committee from the Men's Student Council composed of Nell Ireland, Jeremy and, in addition, Balletzer, T. W. also expressed itself willing to cooperate with the Book Exchange committee in helping to make the exchange a success. Ten per cent was deducted from all sales of books as the Student Council's fund. Three per cent of the profits will go to the manager of the exchange. No charge was made for unsold books.

The February All-University assembly will occur Friday at 10:30. All classes will be dismissed for the hour. The 10:30 classes will meet from 11:30 to 12 o'clock and the 11:30 classes from 12 o'clock to 12:30.
NUMBER 90.
Frank Strong, Chancellor.
"Essentials of Success!" will be the subject of the address to be delivered by Governor E. W. Major of Missouri to the University public Friday morning in Fraser Chapel at 10:30, according to a telegram received yesterday evening by Chancellor Strong.
All 10:30 classes will be dismissed for the Missouri's speech and the phonocall urges all the students to attend class on Friday. Major is a man of wide experience in the business and educational world and comes to the University to address the students on this subject at request of the University authorities.
Friday is the time set for the February general assembly and Governor Major was scheduled to give the address. The whole hour devoted to the Missouri's lecture and no chapel services will be held.
If So, the Hall of Fame Awaits You, Says Dean Templin
"If there is any student who wants the everlasting gratitude of as hard working officials of the University, and a place in the Hall of Fame, now his chance," said Dean Oil Tempter, an alumni and former porter. "All he will have to do it to invent a plan for simplifying the enrollment methods and relieving the congestion that so sorely ties our patients to our care. It was the result of the Dean's being asked how he had enjoyed the enrollment process this year and what could have been done to make it easier. "Don't you think a prize might be offered to induce people to have some constructive idea on the subject?" he asked.
KNOW A WAY TO ENROLL?
“Well,” he said with a slight increase of the usual twinkle in his eye, “i should hardly go so far as to say that you need it. We might afford a laurel wreath.”
Many plans have been tried to relieve conditions when students were enrolling, especially at the beginning of the school year yet there has not been much success.
Several amusing incidents occurred during the first week of school this semester. A student went to the office and taught the course in Law. When told that he should have gone to Dean Blackmar, who is in charge of the Graduate School, he remarked "Why, that's about that. How do you get there?"
The Rifle Club, an organization for University men, has been reorganized and will begin target practice with the aim of developing ammunition is furnished free of charge by the government and the rifles may be had at cost. Membership is open to all University men who have been present there twenty members.
The case of the absent minded professor of tradition was brought out when one of the instructors in the College came to inquire anxiously where his classes met for that day. Mr. Fraser, in the hall of Fraser, whereupon he smiled faintly and observed that "he had forgotten all about that schedule."
Rifle Club Reorganized
The target practice will be under the supervision of range officers and will be held, at Six Corners, six miles north of town, where the K. N. G, hold their practices. The officers for the present year are: president, G. M. Walling; vice-president, J. C. Clevinger; secretary and treasurer, Frank Coffey; range officer, J. A. McKone.
TEAM GOES TO MIZZOU
Hamilton's Hopefuls Will Play Tigers and Pikers This Week on Foreign Courts
In spite of the dissastrous early season basketball games it was a cheerful bunch of goal shooters that left with Coach Hamilton for Columbia this morning. A squad of ten men was taken for the four games to be played in the finals, and he has high hopes that we will bring home least three out of four of the games.
Manuscript
A new forward has been taken from the scrubs and will also start with the Varsity tonight. This man is Kauer, a freshman player last year. He has been in a number of games this year but until lately has not been showing up very good. His goal shooting ability recommended him for the berth.
Missouri University will be the Kansas opponents tonight and tomorrow night in Rothwell gym and the games will be watched all over the Valley because of their relation to the championship tangle. Besides, they will have three Tigers themselves because Kansas has only lost two games to the Missourians since the two schools began basketball relations. In other words, the Missouri Tigers have won a total of two games out of forty-eight from the Hawkeyes. Teny-eight games have been played by the startened coaching the Jayhawkers and out of that number the Tigers have won only one game.
A couple of return games with the Washington five will be played in St. Louis Friday and Saturday nights. These should result in victories for the Kansas five. The St. Louis court was just as successful as thenasmen men and it would not be surprising if the Pikers held the Hawkers to a small score.
Although not showing particularly good ball in the Washington games, the team seems to have hit a new stride. The men are playing with new life and have discovered the same brand of pep which has given Kansas championship in the past years. With the help of some other players, Jayhawkers will end in some other place besides the last berth. After using a large number of men in most all the early games Hamilton believes now that he has found a combination that will make things a little more interesting for the Missourians and the Kansas Aggies. Bonnie Reber is the man the coaches are looking to for the game. The weight of Reber along with his basketball ability has won him a place on the squad and he and Nelson are slated to start tonight's battle.
The line-up for tonight as announced by Coach Hamilton before he left this morning will be: Gibben and Kauder, forwards; Captain Cole, center; Reber and Nelson, guards. Besides these nine five others were taken from the field with all ability to take the game before they get back from Missouri. Appel, Miller, Pattinson, Kennedy and Uhrlaub are the others that took the trip.
DR. CORBIN PLANS SERIES OF GATHERINGS FOR WOME
Progressive entertainment is being given by Dr. Alberta Corbin, associate professor of German, for all the women students in the disfair rooming which she is president. The rooming-housing has for several years been divided into districts, each of which comprises a certain territory. Each district has its own organization, the purpose of which it to create a rooming house among the women for one set of rules and regulations applicable to all.
Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6, D.Corbin held a tea for one house chwenn in her district. She intends to entertain each house at a time. She wants the women better acquainted with the women students in her neighborhood. Regular business meetings of one hour are held immediately after supper on certain week nights, in which time various problems are discussed.
"Without dormitories," said Dr. Corbin, "I do not believe we can get the hearty cooperation of the women unless we have our districts well organized." I would like to see more interest taken in these organizations."
To Give Several 1-Act Plays
The twenty-four members of the dramatic art class are working hard preparing for their first play, "A String of Poems" which they will next text. Tuesday through Green Hall. They expect to give several 1-act plays. The public is invited to attend these performances.

K. U. DEFEATS NORMALS
First place in every event except the pole vault, with eight seconds made it possible for the Jayhawker to reach the 100-meter K. U. indoor track athletics last night in the opening meet of the 1916 season held in Robinson Gymnasium with the Kansas State Normals from Emma Linden Stadium score stood 744. Normals 11.
Hamilton's Track Athletes Take Opening Meet of Season With Score of 74 to 11
The Teachers' squad commanded by Coach "Bill" Hargiss, was late in arriving and their tardy arrival seemed to have a bad effect from the very start. Not until the shot -put, the fourth event on the program, did the team make it work, when Shaun White beat out Dick Small the second Kansas entry and took second place, Captain Rebeer taking first easily. In the low hurdles, Stites added three more points to the Emporials' score with another second. The final Normal's counter did not come until the very last of the meet when it left the field to play against places by the K U. squad. But Campbell and Pattinson, the two Crimson and Blue entries in the pole vault, both went down at ten feet-six, leaving Van Patten to score the lone first place of the Normals. But Coach Hamilton's proteges got sweet revenge in the next and last event, the relay, for the Kansas quartet of players from North Carolina, Humpy Campbell, and Cyclone Rodkey, merely lapped the Emporians twice while running up the time of 3 minutes, 47, and 2-5 seconds, which according to Assistant Coach Patterson is a new relay record for the indoor track in Robinson Gymnasium.

NEW MEDICAL COURSES
OFFERED AT ROSDALE
Practical work in physical diagnoses, minor surgery and bandaging is now offered to the incoming class in the School of Medicine at Rosedale, which has a history since the installation of the new dispensary. It has never before been offered to students before the junior year. The history of medicine, a course found in all European schools, but in only about six of the leading schools in the United States, can be hazardous. Last year twenty-six students came to Rosedale, while this year but sixteen were transferred. They are: P. E. Beknap, L. L. Bressette, F. B.Campbell, R. C. Culter, L. B. Gloege, H. E. Henderson, T. L. Howen, W. H. Nelson, W. R. Oechs, E. C. Padgett, O. Sundwall, H. N. Thien, E. L. Whitney, O. V. Miner and H. O. Hewens
At the last meeting of the Mining Journal Club at Professor Terrill's, the time of meeting was changed back to Wednesday at 4:30. George Belchiche read a report on "Flotation" from the recent convention held here.

RELIEF FUND NEAR $500
Small Amount Needed to Round Up Sum Raised For Armenians
Only about twenty-five dollars remains to be raised to bring the Armenian relief fund to $500. An itemized account of the fund, compiled this morning by Prof. H. A. Mills, chairman of the sub-committee, is as follows:
Total gross receipts from K. U.
"Follies" $122.69
Total pledges $372.50
Total cash on hand $195.19
The estimated cost of collecting this amount is about $20, though a complete itemized account of the bills against the committee could not be obtained this morning. Subtracting this from the cash on hand, exactly $24.81 remains to be raised to the fund to an even $500.
"We hope to get the amount with the next few days," said Press执业
BANDS PROTECT TREES
Entomology Department Experimenting Against Worm
Much curiosity has been aroused recently as to the purpose of those black strips of tar-paper which adorned the campus, for instance, trees on the campus. Many persons rightly suspected that they were placed there as protection against some kind of worms, but they failed to notice them, and themselves would stop the invaders.
The bands are being placed on the trees by the entomology department as an experiment to determine their efficacy against the ravages of the destructive spring canker worm, *Borisotoma floridanum*. The foliage. Under the bands a strip of cotton is placed firmly against the bark to prevent the worms from crawling under the paper, while on the outer surface of the paper a thin, sticky line of tanglefoot mixture prevents progress of the worms over the paper. The sticky tanglefoot is composed of equal parts resin and linseed oil.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the entomology department, has been experimenting for some time with various types of tree bands, and the present work is one of the most successful. A similar band manufactured in the East is now on the market in Lawrence. The type being used by the entomology department is found to be as serviceable as that on the market, although the application tool is proving to be a sticky job for Prof. Hunter's trained bug-chasers.
REARRANGEMENT MADE IN OFFICES IN FRASER HALI

AND STILL THEY COME
Nearly Four Hundred Merchants Go To School on Mount Oread
MEETINGS ARE CROWDED
Three Hundred Attend Many of The More Popular Lectures
At noon today more than three aundred merchants had registered at Mr. Hamilton's office, and it is definitely known that between fifty and seventy-five who have been attending the classes are not enrolled. The rest of those merchant who wrote to the Extension department signifying their intention of coming to the course, and having done that did not think that it was necessary to enroll upon arriving in Lawrence. Every effort should be made to give every attendant enrolled in the office at Room 117, Fraser Hall.
Every meeting and discussion has been crowded for the last few days, some of the meetings having as many as three hundred listeners. The business was accounted for by sign painting, store records, salesmanship, window trimming and advertising have grown from day to day, and reports among the business seem to show satisfaction as to the results of the course.
The results of the round tables have brought out many new points arising from the experiences of the merchants from over the state, and various round tables report a growing interest in that work each day.
BUEHRMANN'S LECTURES POPULAR
Mr. Buehrmann, of Chicago, ends his series of lectures on Salesmanship this afternoon. They have been largely attended and his audiences seem to get something out of his discussions. The courses in salesmanship will be taken up tomorrow by Paul H. Nystrom of New York University, and the merchants last year. Mr. Buehrmann spoke this morning to three hundred merchants at nine-thirty on "How to Bring New Trade."
Of special interest to the store proprietor was the lecture given by M. E. Garrison in Fraser Chapel this morning at eleven-thirty. Mr. E. Garrison wrote all of this subject, and his ideas were for the most part new to the retailer who has been buying his goods from a “salesman” and not a firm in the past years. Mr. Harrison advocated a closer touch between wholesaler and retailer in order to interests of both parties concerned as well as to the customer at large. At one-thirty Mr. Ingham gave a discussion by means of charts of keeping separate records of purchases and sales by months through which the managers included the methods of mark-ups and the approximate perpetual inventory. He also explained a system of checks for credit accounts and the methods of keeping track of department and individual sales at all
"There is but one way to be assured of new trade, and that is to be everlastingly at it," he said. "A one day's spurt will not insure new stock." The store must be making new friends every day and holding them."
PROF. THORPE DISCUSSES
MAIL ORDER METHODS
Pointing out that the towns of Kansas are decreasing in population and that one cause, and perhaps the main reason, was the prevalent distrust existing between the town and country. Professor Merle Thorpe of the University of Kansas, addressing the matters of the short course here today, said:
"Outside business, commonly known as mail order houses, sees its opportunity is making stronger and stronger bids for this rural trade. The mail order houses are growing at a tremendous rate, some estimate that they get fifty per cent of the country towns' legitimate trade. One Chicago concern reported last week an increase in mail order houses by year's business, taking away $125,-000,000 from country merchants in 1915.
"How to compete with these out of state businesses? Not by appealing to the loyalty of the farmers to trade at local markets, but by home paperat the request of local merchants are the mail order man's best advertising. The only hope of successful competition is to adopt the selling methods of the big concerns."
Mr. Thorpe outlined the methods employed by the big companies in getting and holding this business, showing that they were "investing" from two to four per cent of their gross sales to get new business. This is

RUSKIN ON WAR
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1916
The slugard's guide; loth to go to bed and loth to rise—Watts.
In all the "throwing about of brains" on the subject of preparedness, it is a relief and at the same time somewhat of a shock to fall back on John Ruskin, the arch-disciple of the fine arts and good living. His views on the question of arts and war are surprising—and interesting.
"No great art ever rose on earth but among a nation of soldiers" is the premise from which he reasons. He goes on to say that "All the pure and noble arts of peace are founded on war."
From the lips of the great dreamer of the nineteenth century, whose works on the arts were—and are yet, authorities, these words have a strange intonation. That he was sincere in uttering them is not to be doubted.
When Ruskin begins to talk on the arts he invariably swings around to the idea of the close intimacy between the life and art of a nation. "When I tell you that war is the foundation of all the arts, I mean also that it is the foundation of all the nigh virtues and faculties of men. The common notion that peace and the virtue of civil life flourished together I found to be utterly unenable. We talk of peace and learning, of peace and plenty, of peace and civilization; but I found that these are not the words that the Muse of History coupled together; that on her lips the words were peace and sensuality, peace and selfishness, peace and death."
He concludes in a manner that is interesting, even if not altogether convincing.
"I found in brief that all great nations learned their truth of word and strength of thought in war; that they were nourished in war and wasted in peace; taught by war and deceived by peace; trained by war and betrayed by peace; in a word, that they were born in war and expired in peace."
Add current humor: The enrolling system is to be changed again next year.
QUITE A FEW GIFTS
The thanks and appreciation which the public has shown Mrs. Isaac L. Rice for her million dollar hospital donation brings to our attention the fact that very little has been said regarding the liberal prizes and rewards offered to students each year by citizens over the state and in Lawrence especially.
$755.00 is given to worthy students each year by people of Lawrence and graduates of the University. $500. is given for prize essays, and that much more is available as a loan fund to those who are most deserving. $7,750 is given each year in fellowships. Besides these rewards there is a freshmen scholarship of one hundred dollars for the best German student.
Recently Mrs. J. B. Watkins offered a prize to the most deserving girl working her way through the University. We would like to ask who knows of a better way to spend money than to help a girl or boy get an education? It is these little boosts given each year by generous alumni or interested citizens of the state that help pull many students through school.
If the leaders of the country who are so busy denouncing the hyphens, include in their list, the mothers-in-laws, they'll find plenty of backing.
WE'RE ALL LOYAL
There are many loyal students at the University, and K. U. should be glad of the good spirit shown.
Fussers were told to take notice of the Student Council benefit—and the students did take notice last night. In fact, so many were loyal to the University that they attended the track meet, went to the Benefit picture show, treated their dates—and there's no telling how late they stayed after the show. The date rule was off!
However, it is good to see loyalty of any kind to the University, and support of every student activity.
ANOTHER BIRTHDAY
No one would ever suspect by looking over the current issue of the Harvard Lampoon that it was forty years old. It is a most sprightly and lively youngster of forty years—the funniest and most cleverly written of all the college comics.
When it was started back in the seventies, it was "conceived in wilt and dedicated to the principle that all men are created humorous." To this principle it has been true for forty years—and the college papers of the country all join in wishing them m. h. r. o. t. d.

THE QUESTION BOX
This department did not pretend to know what to do in response to the best of its ability. It requested that the boss assign some supervisors. Don't ask about color maps, historical dates that you can easily find and those concerning the viral problems of the company. Don't ask about the experience concerning the viral problems of the experts in this department.
I'o the Question Editor:
I am a freshman from a small town.
There is a girl in one of my classes who
is her first year in college. She see her only in class, and then not to speak to her. What shall I do?
My Dear Jim:
Jim B.
Your problem is one that is troubling many. Since you do not see the girl outside of class, it is obvious that you will be forced to make your date in class. The following receipt is one of the most successful: Go early to class and wait around until "she" comes, then take a seat by her.
Say, "I beg your pardon, Miss Blank, but I used to know a girl named Blank, and I wondered if you could be a relative of hers. She was the most popular girl in the town, perhaps; she was the one thought that maybe you were cousins?"
That will flatter her and break the ice. Don't be bashful when you sit down, but be bold, so she will see that all the other girls know what your intention is, as well as she does. After a little talk about popular girls, you can then proceed to the date. You must say:
“There’s a hummer of a play at the Bowersock Friday night, and Blank Blank is going to take the leading part (be surge to mention a popular song) in her in the play.” Reminds me so much of you. Wouldn’t you like to go?”
If you are unable to get a seat in
clothing, we can help you. and I will tell you of another way.
Cigarette stains may be removed from the fingers by amputation another good way is to stop smoking cigarettes.
Be sure to interpace college slang in your talk, so she will think you are
Corns may be prevented by wearing shoes which fit properly, but we don't know where you can buy those shoes.
Sleeping in the open air is good for the complexion. If your landlord refuses to put a sleeping porch then you will have to sleep outdoors. Then you will have a sleep outdoors.
Walking will give you ruddy cheeks. And if you'll try walking past the saloons instead of into them you will avoid having a ruddy nose. To make yourself attractive to others cultivate a cheerful disposition. Think of other people's troubles instead of your own.
If you are too stunt console yourself with the thought that while your figure may not be beautiful it at least that you can afford to eat regularly.
Although it has been apparent at the University of Kansas for many years that our professors are really human, it is with surprise that we read that other universities are waking up also. The following from the book by Washington Daily proves that they have human professors there too:
Now that examination and semester grades have been given out, there is a wide divergence of opinion as to the character of members of the faculty. This is measured by the number of A and Egrades their students receive.
Anyone who contemplates registering in a certain subject is informed that the instructor is either a "prince" or a "crab." One young man advises Professor Flunkum because "he only gave me a D, and most of the class got above C;" another student, who has received a B grade, declares the professor is a "good scout"; and he gives me a C, which is just lovely—he gave me an A."
HUMAN PROFESSORS
Despite the fact that California is much closer to the Oriental countries than eastern universities, only 191 of 4,222 foreign students in 275 American universities and technical schools are registered in California institutions, according to a report issued by the Bureau of Education. Fifty-one-room dormitories for Guiana and Siberia being the only ones without students in American schools. New York leads in the number of foreign students.
Those who associate more or less with members of the faculty learn that they differ little from ordinary folk, and that there are some who worked in various capacities before they began to teach.
The only estimate most students have of their professors is based almost entirely on classroom experience. You don't need to know anything except a notebook or a grade. They usually leave at the end of the hour with the impression that the lecturer is somewhat inhuman, so they study and teach a particular subject.
Labor Day will be set aside at the University of California for the construction of a path leading from the campus to the Big C (elevation 850 feet). The path will be 2000 feet in length and 4 feet in width and will be the complete route for the project. 1912. A large number of alumni are taking active interest in the project.
The professors, for example, cannot be expected to assent to the view that it is for the president, as for the superintendent of a factory, to "hire and fire." Some presidents have devised strategies for professors who are incompetent lot of specialists who do not want to be bothered with questions of discipline and are best satisfied when controlled by an energetic and efficient administrator. This is rather a frustration objected by the American professors who prepare this report. They agree that discipline is necessary, and that if it is not to be administered from outside the outside the professors must assume the task: "They have the power to disregard the disposition, to do so." The obligation will doubtless, therefore, seem to many an unwelcome and burdensome one, and for its proper discharge members of the profession will perhaps need to address them at present possess it, the capacity for impersonal judgment in such cases, and for judicial severity when the occasion requires it."
Yet the responsibility is one that cannot be evaded if there is to be a decision. That freedom as the committee correctly丢置s, is not, as it sometimes loosely supposed, the "absolute freedom of thought, of thought, of inquiry, of discussion and of teaching of the academic profession to professors who respect manners in academies and uphold them; but no profession can command respect if its standards are imposed and upheld from outside. If the question is whether a professor is a man of science or merely a quack, it is objectionable; when outsiders intervene, their intervention can never be exempt from the suspicion that it is dictated by other motives than zeal for the
"HIRE AND FIRE"
The recent action of the University of Pennsylvania, inspired by the Nearing case, in providing security to a member of a client's team by which an accused member of the faculty is to be tried by his peers before the trustees act, furnishes a copy of the complaint and more force and actuality to this report. Springfield Republican.
The honor system has been the chief plank in the platform of the University of Oklahoma for the last month. That much sentiment against cheating has been aroused is shown by the fact that a large number of students are involution, taking a stand against cheating in the final examinations.

BUREAU HELPS FIND JOBS
Large Demand for K. U. Graduates to Fill Positions
"This new employment bureau about which there has been so much talk is nothing more or less than the one which has been here under my supervision for the last twelve years," said Prof. W. H. Johnson, director of the University bureau of appointments yesterday. "We are most concerned with other colleges who ask us to help them in securing positions. We are not anxious to place those students who wish to work only a year or two. Those men who desire a permanent position are the ones the businessmen are after. If he is willing to work his way up, there are plenty of opportunities for a fellow who is not afraid of starting in at the bottom for a small salary."
Professor Johnson said that nearly every day he receives letters from firms all through the West, asking for materials. One firm from Chicago took seven K. U., graduates, all of whom are now making good. Nearly a third of the one hundred and fifty or two letters received were placed each year are K. U. men.
The main object of this bureau is to help students to determine what they want to take up for their life work, and place them in a position to succeed. They learn ambitions. Professor Johnson hopes soon to install a more complete filing and reference system, whereby he can tell at a glance what places to recommend to the graduate looking for a job. On the other hand, he wants students just what the character and ability of his prospective employee are.

Henry Maloy reports that he now has begun the reading of "high brow" literature, but there is one fraternity on the Hill which ought to have helped in keeping for the holding of first honors in the reading of the so named literature. Even the quizzes gave way before the thirst of classic literature. The work of Guy de Maupassant held first place and of Guy de Maupassant held first place on fraternity's reading shelf.
It has been a question among one set of K. U. students as to why their professor wears an old slouch hat and not a button-down shirt at his home. To rival the professor one student who comes from a "high brow" Missouri home not only wears a similar hat, but also the most unremarkable one. The distinguished short-stemmed cob pipe.

Three freshmen wandered unwarned into the lower regions of the Museum yesterday where some fifty students in anatomy were at work in the dissecting room. As the three students were moving along the "Rue Morgue" a general murmuring arose among the ranks of the anatomy students. Quitely, one by one, the fifty filed out of the room and into the hall. Presently one of the embryo medics reappeared with a "long-Tom" and informed the three students that the Toms" were waiting in the hall and on the stairway.

Sophomores to Meet K. C. Polytechnic In First Intercollegiate Basketball Game
The first basketball game ever played by K. U. women against another college is scheduled for Thursday evening at 7:15 when the Kansas City Polytechnic women meet the Oklahoma team in Robinson gymnasium.
"I have coached many basketball teams," commented Miss Hazel Pratt, "but I have never had as fast a bunch as these sophomore women. They are certainly skillful and in all probability they will be great players." If the women here want to see a live game of girls' basketball now is their chance.
"The floor will not be divided in three sections, as is frequently the case, but according to the newer ruling the court will be separated in halves with the centers running all over the field. This tends to make game quicker and more skillful, and others think, much more interesting.
"Every K. U., woman, especially those belonging to the Women's Athletic Association, should turn out to this event to encourage our own squad and to show courtesy to the visiting team.
"The time, 7:15, will give the stuious ample time to prepare their lessons after the game. The admission fee of ten cents will go to make up the first fund of the "women" group. The game will certainly be exciting if the Polytechnic women show up in as good form as I expect the sophomores to show."
CANKER WORM CHECKED
Weather and Wrapping of Trees Will Prevent Work of Insects
The ascent of the canker worm up the elm trees has been checked by the cold weather and sheet of the past wek. Now is the best time to do Prof. S. J. Huntler, for the wrapping of all trees, especially elms.
Workmen have begun to wrap the trees on the campus and the department of entomology hopes that the residents of the city will take the same precautions as it is the only way of overcoming this pest.
The canker-worm is possibly the only insect that has been affected by the heavy coating of ice which now covers everything. The reason for this is that the worm comes above the ground to lay its eggs about this time each year and in so doing many may have been destroyed.
"We cannot tell exactly to what extent they have been affected," said Prof. J. S. Hunter. "It is not likely that the insects have been killed, because they are impervious to the cold unless the change of temperature be sudden. Practically all the insects now in the ground are so damaged that no harm them unless they are too suddenly frozen or are thawed out too rapidly in the spring. So far the trees have not been injured."

George Strothers Seriously Wounded In Leg When Shotgun Exploded
George B. Strothers, of Kansas City, a senior lawyer, for the last three consecutive years a football "KM" man, was shot in the thigh of his left leg yesterday afternoon when a shogun caught in a doorway through which he was passing, and accidentally ploped himself on the floor at the campus of Prof. H. W. Humble, west of the campus, where Mr. and Mrs. Strothers are living.
Mrs. Strothers sent word immediately to the University Hospital, and while an automobile was coming for him, he heard about a fire fifteen minutes to prevent loss of blood.
Strothers had been out in the back yard shooting at a rabbit. Coming into the house, the gun caught in the door, fell, and exploded. The charge hit him in the fleshiest part of his leg, and while it tore away about five pounds of flesh, fortunately did not shatter the bone.
University doctors said that Strothers would be confined to bed for a con-
sidereal time, but would very probably recover full use of his leg. He reated easily last night. His father, Sam Strothers, is in town.

AND STILL THEY COME
done by a persistent dissemination of information and a creation of latent desires and demands for articles in stock.
(Continued from page 1)
"Where the outside competitor spends three and four dollars of his hundred dollars in sales to get more sales, the local man is spending five cents. The small retailer must forget the fallacy that everybody knows him and knows what he has to sell. Everybody knows that Montgomery Ward is in Chicago and Kansas City on a train from town, from a pin to a thrashing machine, but that fact does not prevent this firm from spending twenty to fifty thousand dollars a week, reminding people of these facts.
"Merchants in my town say 'January is a bad month, it has always been a bad month, therefore, you have to win while the outside competitor is doubling and trebling his efforts to keep up his sales. The mail order must turn over his goods not five days before the year, or he will go out of business."
Mr. Thorpe said that probably the retail grocer was hardest hit by the mail order man, yet by a survey made by the Harvard Business Research last year of five hundred retail grocers the averaging amount spent for advertising was one-tenth of one per cent. The lowest man on the list spent one-hundredth of one per cent, highest one and six-tenths per cent.
"Suppose a town should hire a first-class man to promote local trade. The first thing that man would ask for would be some way of getting the man to work at least and child of the trade district at least once a week and oftener if possible. In looking about for such a medium that would be at once economical and serviceable mostof us would be surprised to find such a medium already waiting and to carry the message to Garcia.
"And it follows," added Mr. Thorpe, "that the man who spent one one-hundredth of one per cent turned his stock three times a year; that he spent one and six-tenths per cent turned his stock twenty-six times a yer."
After pointing out methods of bringing a better understanding between town and country, Mr. Thorpe said:
"It is the old home paper. If it isn't what it ought to be in your estimation, you business it better. Cooperate with the editor who is in charge of your public utility and make it easier for him to fulfill his purpose. His purpose is to work diligently and unfix the community to unify the community's interest, in an effort to keep down dissension between classes, in an effort to arouse and stimulate people in the life of the community school, its social media and its social life.
"The old home paper can bring town and country together with your support and cooperation, and at the end of it can bring buyer and seller together."
"Why not capitalize this community asset?"
"The mail order houses would spend $100,000 a year in the old
home papers of Kansas, if the editors would of the paper.
PROF. GILMAN TELLS OF
SALE LAW IN BUSINESS
It is not so important that a merchant know the law as it is to know when to consult a lawyer, Prof. Stephen W. Gilman, of the University of Wisconsin, said in his lecture on the "Law of Sales" this morning to the 500 Kansas merchants attending the Short Course.
"There is a distinction between an absolute sale where ownership passes even though the price is not paid and a conditional sale where ownership is not to pass until the happening of some event.
"In every agreement there must legally be an offer and an acceptance. Even in cases where no words are used there are various forms of implied promises applied in connection with other transactions in retail merchandising."
He also brought out the distinction between a sale and a contract.
"The sale of goods is an agreement whereby the seller transfers ownership in property to the buyer, whereas whereby the seller agrees to transfer the ownership and property. In the first case the risk of destruction by fire or other contingency is upon the one who buys, whereas in the second case that risk is borne by the one who has not yet transferred the legal
SCIENCE IN BUSINESS
GROWS MORE IMPORTANT
"Business is becoming more and more a matter of science," said E. L. McClure, of Kansas City, in a talk before the merchants yesterday. The subject of the lecture was "We're doing it better" and Clure emphasized the fact that cooperation is the first word in all business which should be printed in italics.
"Profit's are growing less and expenses more, so that it is a matter of no little concern to the retailer how he is going to handle his problem of credit, or to take care of it a time when a merchant bought but two main bills a year and ran no chance of not being able to dispose of his wares at a good profit, but of late years, styles in everything change so rapidly that the turn over of capital has become a very important feature. It also changes the total, if half of what he considers his is in the hands of the persons who trade at his store."
Mr. McClure concluded his talk by drawing an analogy between the nation's expectant attitude as regards preparedness and the retailer's struggle to arrive at a solution whereby all parties concerned will be *satisfied* and safe. He said that, as "preparedness" is the watchword in our country at this time, so must the retailer apply the same principles to his business; thus he must or readjustment of affairs by keeping his capital in shape to readily liquidate itself.
BUEHRMANN TELLS OF THE VALUE OF DISPLAY
Otto Buehrmann of Chicago and dressed the largest crowd of mechanics yet gathered this morning at nine-thirty in the Engineering Building. He appears on his desk as Relating to the Profitable Display of Merchandise."
"The display is the silent salesman for the store," said Mr. Buehrmann, "and every display should be arranged with the idea of the greatest convenience and the greatest convenience of the customer. Every store should not only have judicious displays, but it should be well ventilated and well lighted, and kept clean above all!" The description of the merchant for the reputation of his store and its appearance he laid stress upon the morals of the sales force. "Every store should have an absolutely strict cash system eliminating all possible limitations for the clerks to stoop to dishonesty."
How to move overstock was the subje-
tive of a talk by Otto Buehmann this
afterword.
BUEHRMANN TELLS HOW
TO MOVE OVERSTOCK
"When a merchant finds that he is not selling some article in his stock, the thing to do," says Mr. Buehmann, "is not to worry about it but to tell them that your merchant has spent a lifetime of energy in merely accumulating a stock of goods. It is no wonder so many merchants fail when they fail to keep their stocks fresh and sealed because they become less prominent and the small special sales at more frequent intervals are taking their place."
The course in card writing supervised by F. G. Weeks of Joplin, Missouri is proving to be one of the most popular in the whole curriculum. It opens every morning at eight o'clock and with an hour off at noon, runs until midnight. At most every hour of the day a visitor to Room 208 Engineering Building will find every desk in that drawing room occupied and more waiting to take the
places of those who leave from time to time.
The courses in accounting in Fraser Hall which are being given from eight until ten o'clock every morning by Prof. A. C. Hodge of the University have also proved popular. A large class is studying the elements of accounting while a number of the visitors are taking the more advanced courses, and the forms used in the Accounting work taught in the regular University classes are at the disposal of the Accounting classes.
It is expected that the enrollment of the last two days of the course will tally equal that of the first three. A great many have expressed their interest in taking the course for days especially to hear Paul H. Nyctrom of New York City who will deliver five lectures on Thursday and Friday at the most popular of the whole course.
The organ recitals by Dean Skilton at 9 o'clock every morning have been a good attraction. While the audience has been so polished, an appreciative and an attentive one.
Over twenty women are enrolled for work in the short course this year. For the most part they are clerks and heads of departments of the stores in the larger towns over the state. From the looks of the meetings there must be as many more not enrolled in the courses.
The Merchants' and Farmers' Association of Lawrence is attending to the tagging of the visiting merchants, as well as addressing statistics in Fraser Hall writing the names and addresses of the visitors on two big white stripes across a big blue button. These buttons have long become a familiar sight on the hill.
The Merchants' and Farmers' Association entertained the officers of various business associations from over the state at luncheon yesterday noon. The merchandise were made by Kansas Merchants and some of the visiting speakers.
That the merchants are taking an unusual interest in the work of the short course is shown by the enthusiasm of the merchant-students. After every lecture there invariably follows a class discussion, where the students' attentive points are brought out in this way. This interest evidenced by the merchants is encouraging to the department in charge.
The merchants of Lawrence will entertain the visiting merchants tonight at the F. A. U. Hall with a mixe. The program for the evening is "The First Time" from the famous刊物 "The First Time" given by Professor MacMurray's class in dramatic art, and a concert by Dean and Mrs. Harold L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts at the University of H. Wildey will address the men on "Mail Order Problems."
The first floor of Fraser was crowded last night to hear Prof. Stephen W. Gilman of the University of Wisconsin speak on "The Factors of Business Management." and Chas. Hale, a professor of Economics at Chicago who continued his lecture on the evolution of cotton from the field to the finished product.
The University orchestra opened the session with a short concert which was well received. The following was the program: March Millette, Schubert; Overture LaTosca, Willard; A Night in June, K. L. King.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MERCHANTS' WEEK ENDS
Successful Week's Work Draws To a Close With 500 In Attendance
MR. HAMILTON IS PLEASED
Extension Director Says Work Has Fulfilled Hopes
"I am satisfied with the results of the merchants' short course this year, and from all reports I have heard the merchants themselves are equally so," said Abe of the division, who has had charge of the various meetings.
"The actual enrollment has exceeded that of last year by almost 150, the speakers have been better, we have had a greater diversity of courses, and the course lasted a week this year, stead of three weeks." The course is most noticeable which points to the success of the course is the large number of merchants who have spent the entire week attending the classes and lectures.
"an innovation this year that has proved one of the biggest assets to the course is the series of noon luncheons that has been handled by the ladies of the Christian church in Myers Hall. The ladies chairmen have given advice and the proximity of the dining hall gave the merchants plenty of time at noon to have impromptu meetings at the dinner table. Some of the best speeches were given here and profitable ideas not upon upon in the space, but brought to light by the little talks after lunchcase in Myers Hall.
Another feature that was universally enjoyed was the daily picture show in Fraser Hall. The pictures of the various industries over the country were both interesting and instructive, and many fashionable pieces were heard on the merchants. Pictures shown of the processes of making shoes, carpets, silverware, ladies suits, and of canning fruits and the handling of meats.
MUSIC PLEASED
"The merchants were highly pleased with the musical and dramatic numbers given by the students and professors of the University. The various musical organizations represented and we had a good time with them, and they made it bick with the visitors.
"I would place the actual attendance of the course considerably above the five hundred mark, for a great many attended the meetings who did not register at my office. I would like to have the registration of the assistant who attended a single class so as to keep him informed as to future developments."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 11, 1916
NUMBER 92
Mr. Hamilton said that probably the most of the speeches would be printed and available for distribution, but that the magnitude of the course this year—some times as many as three meetings going on each week—would make short hand sketches of all the proceedings prohibitive. The more important speeces were turned in in manuscript form, however, and probably a number of these will be printed. A number of grocers have circulated asking silk-screened copies of their speech Factors in the High Cost of Living" be put into circular form together with reproductions of the charts used in explaining the lecture.
CARDWRITING INTERESTED MANY
About fifty per cent of the visiting merchants have been placed in rooms by the registration office. The available rooms that were reported by Mr. Hamilton before the beginning of the week were in great demand, especially those nearest the University. A number of the fraternity houses opened their doors and visited merchants with a large number were handled in this way. A large number of the rest stayed with "the kid" who is going to school here.
The course in cardwriting has been probably the most consistently popular of all the regular courses offered, Mr. F. G. Weeks, of Joplin, Missouri, who is superintending the work, reports that he has had a class of thirty-six who have reported religion every day of four weeks for two hours or more, which almost twice as many others have been more or less regular students. Many of the merchants have shown real progress in the week's work.
LEARNED ABOUT WINDOW TRIMMING
The daily courses in window trimming have been good drawing cards. One merchant from many miles away was heard to remark that one single lesson in window trimming yesterday afternoon was worth all of his expenses for the week, not taking into consideration the other benefits of the course.
The window trimming demonstrations have been held every afternoon at 3:30 in the basement of Green Kall.
The courses in elementary and advanced accounting have drawn their proportionate number, many mechanics taking advantage of their books on their books on a system of definite accounting. Mr.H.C. Ingham and Mr.A.T. Hodge of
the university have been conducting these courses.
Mr. Otto Buehrmann, who made a series of six speeches the first of the week, proved one of the best speakers on the program. His subjects, which centered about store management and salesman messages to the merchant, and every illustration was made applicable to the small town merchant.
The lectures of Paul H. Nystrom, the head of a large Auto Supply Co., of New York City, ended the week's business with a win a place in the business thoughts of the Kansas merchants last year when he made a number of addresses at the short course, and his lectures the year before, that focused on better presenting than before. Mr. Nystrom is an aggressive and impressive speaker, and this, coupled with the ideas he has to give to the small merchants in their own language, has made him a major every audience before which Mr. Nystrom speaks.
The merchant alone has not been the only one to take advantage of the speakers here for the short course. There are merchants, clerks, lawyers, doctors, real estate agents, teachers and students enrolling in schools in Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Idaho, and New Mexico.

QUILL CLUB GETS HONOR
Receives Invitation to Compete in National Prose Contest
The Quill Club has received an invitation to enter into a national prosecution contest with the Sigma Epsilon fraternity, according to a statement made yesterday by Lucile Hildinger, president of the club.
Each member of the Quill Club will contribute to a preliminary contest here, which will close on March 15th. The final winner will contest will be compete in the national contest. The final winner will receive membership in the fraternity, if it is a man; if the fortunate one is a woman; will receive a prize of a scarab ring.
It is a great honor to be asked to take part in this contest, because each chapter of Sigma Epsilon, which is a national writing fraternity, has the privilege of inviting but one literary contests limiting the number of the contestants.
The Quill Club received its invita-
tion to the Kandolph Macon chap-
ter, Sigma Gamma Epsilon.
The Quill Club held a reception last night in Fraser Hall, Room 110, for the eleven new members who will be the new regular business meeting. Thursday night.
The newly elected members are:
Eleanor Wolfe, Gladys Henry, Jane Weaver, Jean Kirkendal, Bertha Smith, Leah Jennerson, Barbara Able, E. M. Johnson, Laura Stewart, Gall Hall, and Bess Murphy.
The plan for the senior class memorial which was started last year when a fund of about two hundred dollars was raised has been delayed because no one had found to be a member of the committee in the place of J. M. Johnson.
Randolph, president of the senior class, expects to appoint the chairman within a few days. Nothing is more important in memorial but the committee expects to raise at least two hundred dollars in addition to the amount it now has.
After a short business session, two exceptionally good stories were read by Gail Hall and Caroline McNutt. Three new members, Willard Day, Bessie Wilhite., and J. E. Stillwell were elected.
Chancellor Frank Strong's attempt to fight off an attack of the grip failed yesterday when he was confined to his bed. His condition shows little change today but he hopes to be able to attend to his work by the first of next week. He has not been at his office since Tuesday.

Public Learns Names of Sever Senior Women Who Worked For K. U
THE TORCH ANNOUNCES KANSAS LOST ANOTHER
The members of The Torch, the senior woman secret honor society, for the past year, were announced to the University public this morning at the concoction by Dean J. W. Green, of the School of Law.
The members for the past year have been: Alice Coors, Las Vegas, N. M.; Luela Cory, Lansing; Florence Hale, Lawrence; Vanetta Hosford, Lawrence; Josephine Jaqun, St. Francis Nellie Kennedy, Hutchison; Naomi Simpson, Topcka and Stella Simmons, Lawrence.
These nine women were elected a year ago by the members preceding them and were chosen because of their leadership. These nine women class scholarship alone. The Torch is secret society because the members feel that a great deal more good can be accomplished by a hidden organization than members are known to the public.
The women announced this morning have since their election last year, been connected with practically all of the students at K. U. The have been boasters of the Big Sister movement and leaders in the W. Y. C. A. and W. S. G. Also there were members of the members in class activities, dramatics and all student movements.
The Torch was organized by the senior women of the class of 1912 and announced as its object the promotion of responsibility in the University life.
Students Can Use New Entrance to Campus Next Year
WILL GO ON SIDEWALK
After a struggle covering six years, the University is to have a south approach, and the residents of the University Place Addition are to have a new way to the street. The new street was started by the board of regents, when William Allen White was a member of that board. Mr. White at one time made a personal effort to get the road through. Later an effort was made by the present Governor of Control, but without results.
Through the generosity of S. W. Gowans who gives the land to the city for the new road, and the unceasing efforts of E. O. Sherwood, organizer of the South Side Improvement League, this much needed and long sought improvement becomes a reality.
The land belonging to Mr. Gowans lies between the University Campus and the southwest addition to the city. Students who room in this part of town must either use a footpath which crosses this strip and land it, or choose to use the private driveway of Mr. J. B. Watkins and then go down Indiana street to their rooms. At certain times of the year these paths are almost impassable. Mr. Sherwood was appointed as a delegate to see if something could be done with the reward for his efforts an offer by Mr. Gowans to give sufficient land to make the proposed roadway.
The Sachems, the senior honorary society for men, initiated the following men into their organization last night at the Alpha Tau house: Dick Burton, Frank Baldwin, Andy Groff, Leland Thompson and Claude Wandel, Oss LeKing, who recently lost his Kung Fu training, had been taken in at a previous time and was to have been initiated with these new members.
All these men are identified with University interests, this being a requisite for membership in the Sachems, whose work promotes a spirit of fellowship and a close acquaintancehip among all the men of the University.
The grant of land brings the proposed boulevard that is to encircle the Hill one step nearer realization. When this boulevard is completed it will one more beauty apet to Lawrence and the University to boast of.
The road, according to contract, is to be continued from Indiana Street west on the present traveled county road to a point near the street railway, hence upon the University Ground, as they may decide.
SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY
INITIATES NEW MEMBERS
John M. Shea said this morning that the University could do nothing with the road, however, until after the hurricane. For such purposes has been exhausted.
The work on the road is to be done by the city up to the edge of the campus, and the rest of the expense is to be borne by the University.

Tigers Outplayed Hamilton's Five and Won Second Game 12 to 20
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 10–Kansas dropped the second and last game of the series tonight by the decisive score of 42 to 20. The game was Missouri all the way in spite of the close score in the first game. The Kansans were completely out played and out guessed by the Tigers.
Missouri got the start on Hamilton's men in the early part of the game and when the first half ended Kansas had only scored one field goal. Meanwhile the Tigers had run up a score of twenty-five. This ended the half 25 to 5. The Tiger forward made it to the basket at almost will and a change of Jayhawker quards failed to stop the on-rush.
Kansas came back in the second half with a spurt but the sprint was a short one. After eight points had been drawn, a good some good work and the Hawkers' onrush was stopped. From that time on the Tigers again had their own way in the scoring. In the last part of the game Missouri used an entirely new team.
Kansas left immediately after the game for St. Louis where they will start a two game series with the Boston University five tomorrow night.
Williams was again the star of the Missourians and led his team in the scoring while on the Kansas side Kauder got the most field goals.

EDUCATION THE BASE
15 Foundation of Superstructure of Success, Says Governor Major
NEEDS MEN WHO KNOW
World Continually Seeks Them
—Few Men Are Masters
Education, honesty, ambition, courage and proficiency in some one line were the cardinal principles of success mentioned by Governor E. Joseph Benton in his address to the University public this morning on "Essentials of Success."
"Education is the foundation of the superstructure of success," said Governor Major, "and no state or nation can ever hope to rise above the education and development of the individual. The world is continually seeking the educated man to be a leader, a protector of honesty. His honesty must be of an aggressive nature, on which his associates can depend."
The governor, in speaking of ambition, likened a trained honest man, lacking in ambition, to a great engine standing idle for lack of motive power. "Motive power in the shape of initiative made Mr. Obama more necessary to success. Without it we are as useless as the idle engine."
That courage to dare to attempt big things all through life are essential was emphasized in the address.
FREE ARE MASTERS
"The world is full of men of medicine capability in industry and lines but there are few men who are masters," continued the governor, "Be an artist in your line. If you are a window trimmer be the best in town and your success will take care of itself. Whatever you attempt, excel in that thing. Choose your line, hang your star high, stick to your goals, be a governor. Governor Major is the first governor of Missouri that has ever addressed the Jayhawker public. He is a native born Missouri and a product of the "log cabin" period in native born governor of that state. The Missouri has his talent being strongly talked of by the Democratic party as candidate for vice-president in the next election. He has served as state senator of Missouri and preceding his election as chief executive he was attorney-general. It was while in this capacity the he won recompense by successfully prosecuting the illegal corporations and trusts.
The practices for the Minut, which is to be one of the features of the All-University Party will be held every afternoon at 4:30 in the Gymnasium.
MINUET DANCERS HOLD
PRACTICES ON WEDNESDAY
Every organization is privileged to have a representative in this feature. Those representing organizations are urged to be present at the next practice. Any others who desire to take part in the Minuet may do so, provided they report at the meeting next week. The cost of the course will be the rental of the costume, which at most will not exceed $2.50.
"We wish that everyone who would like to take part in the Minuet would put in an appearance at the next prac- tition," Hunter, floor manager for the Colonial Party. "The only expense in connection with this part of the program will be the cost of the costume." This expense as light as possible."
The following committees have been appointed: general arrangements, chairman, Chauney Hunter, Arthur Nigge, and Forrest Miller; program directors, John S. Adams and Ada Dykes, and Itasa Hilsman; decoration, chairman, Eugene Wolin, Olin Darby, Ennus Whitehead, Alice Rice, Lorma Miller, Isabel Searels, and Mary Rogers, faculty, chairman, Ames Rogers, Harry Morgan, and Zechla Hammer.
Tryouts for the Aggie meet will be held in the gym Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons at 4 o'clock.

THE SELF-MADE LINCOLN
In that time of our country's development when strong, untiring hands were needed most at the helm of the government. Fate through the hands of a divided Republican party, pushed forth the man, whose birthday the busy world will stop to celebrate tomorrow.
Abraham Lincoln was a self-made man. Among all the other sterling qualities that this greatest of Americans possessed, this characteristic presents the most interesting aspect to university students.
Everyone who has read the life of Lincoln remembers the conscious thrill of admiration with which he read of the sturdy lad walking miles after a book, when the hard day's work was done, to be read in the long hours of the night in his poorly-roofed loft by the weak light of a candle.
How different from the student of the present day! He now has a well-equipped library, with books for the various courses on definite shelves, and everything arranged to give the most convenience possible. A large variety of books on every conceivable subject is provided, so that the fullest information can be obtained on any given subject.
The busy and commercially inclined world remembers and reverses the memory of the great man, Lincoln, who walked the weary miles for a book to read, by the flickering light of the candle, while the student with all his opportunities—
Yet the student of today passes by opportunities for which Abraham Lincoln would have given his chance of the Presidency.
DISSERTATION ON ETCHINGS
Etchings are not highbrow, as many people seem to think. The art of etching, in fact, may be considered one of the homeliest, since it may be done with a steel stiletto, beeswax from the laundry, and an ordinary clothes wringer for printing.
The art of etching is very old. A copper plate is rubbed bright, then covered with a thin coat of wax. With a sharp pointed etching needle the design or picture desired is traced upon the plate. The plate is then placed in an acid bath. If it is desired that the lines shall be light, the plate does not remain in the acid very long; if some of the lines are to be light, and others are to be dark, the plate is removed, the light lines painted over with varnish, and the plate put back in the bath in order that the other lines may be eaten deeper.
When the eating process is entirely finished the wax is removed from the plate, and ink is washed over the whole plate. Two kinds of etchings may now be made. By rubbing the ink from the plate only in part, different degrees of light and shadow may be secured, but if the tone
qualities have been secured by the light and heavy etched lines, the plate may be wiped entirely clean of ink. Damp paper is then placed over the plate, passed through a press, and the etching is made.
Colored etchings are made simply through the use of various colored nails. Of this class of work there are several good examples in the display of etchings in the Administration Building. Among the finest etchings in the exhibition are several by Schneider. The man or woman who desires to be really cultured cannot afford to miss them. One, a winter scene, is an excellent example of tone quality secured through partially removing the ink. Through this means the sky is shown much grayer than he snow covered ground.
If you don't know anything about etchings, now is a fine time to find out. The exhibition is on the third floor of the Administration Building.
A NATIONAL PRECEDENT
The Supreme Court is continuing its exercise in establishing precedents the latest being what is in some quarters regarded as virtual confiscation of private property.
The verdict of the district court against the Danbury, Connecticut, hatters who went out on a strike recently has been upheld by the supreme jurists and as a result the homes of 140 hatters were confiscated. The foreclosure was made to allow an aggrieved firm to collect a judgment of $252,000 against the union. The judgment was rendered under the Sherman Anti-Trust law for triplicate damages.
That means that one-third of the $252,000 compensates the aggrieved firm. The other two-thirds is confiscation.
Contributions made by the American Federation of Labor on January 27 to the dispossessed hatters amounted to $350,000. In the establishment of such a precedent by the Supreme Court there is likely to be less danger to the members of labor organizations than to some of their opponents.

Those nights of wonder
Christian people are just awaking to their responsibilities and opportunities in the matter of recreational activities. The old ascetic attitude of self-repression in religion is being replaced by the joyous duty and privilege of self-expressions. Sports and games are no longer regarded as constraints, desires, but rather as a divinely appointed means of cultivating a vigorous body, a nimble mind and a cheery, robust character —Independent.

GROWTH OF UNIVERSITIES
Bodies of clay—but our souls cannot
die.
The greatest gain during the past year has been in California (2875), which is in a large part due to the number of teachers who were drawn from other regions for attractions of the summer session, the exposition and the conventions.
In college undergraduates California leads with 129 women and 2023 men, followed by Harvard with 2516 women and 2023 women (Radcliffe)-Irdependent.
Now, as I hold you here Slowly I wonder—
Do you remember, dear? . . . Neither

What has happened to the campaign launched by the Kansan a month ago for stopping classes on time when the whistle blows? For a while after the announcement of zeal and energy in seeing that the rule laid down by the Chancellor was obeyed. Now, for some unknown reason nothing more has been done to protect the professors continue to abuse the confidence that has been placed in them.
Having made a flying start, and with victory almost within your grasp you have let it sit and the campaign has fallen flat. Let's start and finish on time and not according to the whim of our instructors.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
EVERYTHING CORRECT BUT
THE FACTS
CAMPUS OPINION
Communication must be signed as evidenced of good faith but it will not be published.
It is a novel sensation to the editor of The Maroon, in scanning other college papers, to discover news accredited to his journal, which is as authoritative as he is by noted athletes are to their "authors." In The Colgate Madisonensis, for instance, we glimpse an item concerning the University, to the effect that "co-eds at Chicago have gone on a strike because they are not authorized," in same side of the room with the male students in certain lecture courses."
The universities of the United States have grown so rapidly in recent years that few people keep track of them. The statistics of attendance as annually published in *Science Alive* as well as the order of the leading institutions does not change much from year to year. The registration figures up to November 1, 1915, are quite remarkable in that they show to what extent the young men and women of America are sorties enrolled for regular work, including the summer session, number high among the thousands. Omitting the summer session the leading universities of the list are: Columbia, Michigan, Harvard, 5853; Michigan, 5977; New York, 5858; Michigan, 5821; Illinois, 5511; Harvard, 5435.
Talented writers of fiction, however, are limited neither to The Red Book nor to Colgate; for, in the Daily Nebraska of a recent date, we read a story—labelled as an excerpt from the Maroon—which rilieves that the author, Marc Hauen's immortal adventures. This feature has all the imaginative glamour of an authentic write-up in a Hearst paper. It depicts the thrilling escapes of "Clara Pause, 18," (incidentally, no student by such a name ever graced the campus), who, notwithstanding the chill of Christmas, went on to study at the bank into the ice waters of Lake Michigan. This, if we are to believe The Nebraskan, is one of Chicago's favorite winter sports.

SUMMER SCHOOL POPULAR
Many High School Teachers Expect to Attend Ten Weeks Session
A great number of high school teachers will attend the ten weeks summer session to obtain their high degree in education. A new law that goes into effect September 1916, according to Dean F. J. Kelly, director of the summer session. Many of the departments offer courses different from those of last summer in order that those who took work then may obtain additional work in
"In addition to having a large number of the strongest members of the regular faculty for the summer session," said Dean Kelly, "five men who have served in five fields of education have been secured: Mr. William T. Bawden, Ph. D., specialist in industrial educating in the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C.; Lewis W. Raver, specialist in book health administration; Supt H. B. Wilson, author of the forthcoming book on motivating children's study; George Melcher, director of research in Kansas City Public Schools; G. M. Gwinning special student in problems of ratios and promoting teachers.
"Five hundred and seventy-six students were enrolled in summer school last year, and with the additional four weeks, which enables the student to do a third of a year's work in a summer, we have all the more reason to expect an attendance even better than that of last year."
INCREASED ENROLLMENT

Quill Club To Elect Tonight
Read "Katherine Bush" in March Cosmopolitan, at Carroll's..Adv.
This is a tale of advertising that paid:
Sixteen years ago there was in Lawrence a jewelry store kept by a man named Rowe. A clerk named Jack had always, between owner and there, was one matter on which they disagreed: The owner didn't believe in the power of advertising; his clerk did. One day it was announced that Mr. Rowe would be the clerk. There was nothing unusual about that — it frequently occurs.
In this case, however, the clerk proved to be more enterprising as a business man than his employer had been. At the time when the clerk took over the store, it occupied two small show-cases in the front of Wiedeman's ice cream parlor. Immediately, he began advertising—and immediately began to reap results. His trade grew and his business prospered.
JEWELRY CROWDS OUT SHOES
EVERY CROWS OFF SHOES
In 1960, they after years账包 the stock—they账包 that his business needed more room. So he made a deal with a shop shoe owner, and the two rented a much larger building in the next block south on Massachusetts street. At that time, he had half of the building and the shoe shop the other. Gustafson advertised and the鞋 man didn't. Gradually, the jewelry cases doubled in number, encroached on the territory, and finally the jeweler pushed the shoes out of the building altogether.
Then the shoe man woke up; and after moving into another building, he, too, started sending "ads" to the printers. In the meantime, Weidemann's, through an application of the psychology of print to the mind of the reading public, developed from a cream parlor into a "confectionery," through the same method, grew into a "booty," and the young clerk's jewelry store became the home of "Gustafson, the College Jeweler."
QUALITY FOR QUALITY FOLK
In 1912, Gustaffason installed new fixtures in his store and it became as we know it today. It is recognized as one of the best 21st state. The beauty of its displays is an asset, but not its greatest. There is quality there, also; and service, and a reputation for square dealing. Gustaffason believes sincerely that "quality goods for quality folk" is an attitude onto which to run a store; and the tries to live up to the motto.
Go into the shop of "The College Jeweler" to but a cut glass bowl. One it isn't shown a cheap affair which usually consists of lamps and for which he asks eight. A genuine Libbey bowel, is worth at cost six dollars, is set on the counter—and priced, very likely, at eight dollars—which is no more than a fair profit.
That is the principle upon which Gustafson does his business; Goods of quality, many sales, reasonable profits.
That is why Gustafson never complains of dull business. With a jewelry stock that in size and quality is far above that of the average store owner, he has an optical department in the hands of Mr. Gustafson himself, who has had expert training in two eastern optical colleges and years of actual experience in the profession; and with a force of watchmakers who are trained to perform the shop of "The College Jeweler" rightfully deserves the tributes paid it.
The volume of business transacted yearly proves the statement which hangs over the owner's desk: "Every week there's U.SYD day. That's why we are here."
The students who have contributed clothing for the destitute in Belgium and northern France have responded liberally according to the statement made by Miss Edith Snow, head of the committee.

TRYOUTS NEXT WEEK
Coach Hamilton Will Give New Trackmen a Chance to Make The Team
Although well satisfied with the showing of his men against the Normals Tuesday night, Coach Hamilton has announced that he will hold a series of tryouts next week for the Aggie track meet, which comes on Monday, February 21. Any new men who could not get out earlier in the game will still get chance to team the team that will take the trip to Manhattan.
I tryouts will be held over the first three days of the week as they were for the Normal meet. This will give a large number of men a chance to repeat in several events. The distance men especially want to try out in at least two events and this will give them an opportunity to do so.
The team looked good against the Normals Tuesday night. However, the size of the score indicates the weakness of the Teachers as well as the strength of the Kansas men, most all of the events Kansas won with ease, and especially was this true in the distances. The mile run was the only distance event in which the Jayhawker runners did not lead their man by at least one lap. In this the Kansas milers all the way, and almost beat them out at the finish.
But there are many weak spots in the Kansas lineup yet, which will have to be strengthened before the team journeys to Manhattan for the meet with Merner's men. The pole vault especially will be worked up, and Hamilton will try to find a man to fill this gap. Campbell, last year's star, is taking medicine in Rose盐ale, and he will be on bed for all the matches and especially practice this year. He entered the Normal met but the lack of practice and the great form of Van Patten were too great odds against him.
The shot put is another Kansas weak point but the showing of Dick Small as Reber's teammate was very encouraging to the coaches. These two will probably work in this event against the Aggies. The low hurdles in Tuesday made the Normals placed in Tuesday's meet but Kansas has good hardling material which has to be coached into first-class shape.
The appearance of a strong relay team makes things look rosy for the season. For the past few years the Tiger meet has always gone to the relegation zone this year, it will result in one of the fastest races of the season.
The tryouts for the different events will be held on the following days:

MAKES WRITING TESTS
Professor Nutt Uses Machine to Investigate Teaching
In order to obtain data on the value of the various methods of writing and of teaching writing, Dean F. M. Freeman, of the University of Chicago, who is conducting an extensive survey of the schools, of Grand Rapids, Michigan for the Grand Rapids Book Company of Education, and H. W. Nutt, of Great Training School, to come to Grand Rapids for the next week with the writing machine that he has recently completed.
Professor Nutt has worked this machine out from his own inventions and it is regarded as an important step in the testing of writing methods by some of the educational journals that have looked it up. Gauges time and amount of each type that is written. It does this by means of an electric vibrator and a high arm lever, which is attached to the hand. Tests will be made of several children of the model age of each grade, and of some subnormal children in order to determine the developments that come with changes in age and grade. Professor Nutt is also possible that a new method of teaching writing will be evolved. Professor Nutt has data secured in Winfield, Topela, and Kansas City, Kansas and this, combined with that obtained in Grand Rapids, and in Mattoo, Illinois, where he will stop teaching at Grand Rapids, will enable him to judge definitively of the comparative merits of the present systems of teaching writing in the public schools.

Sophomore Women Take First Intercollegiate Game Easily
WIN FROM POLYTECHNIC
A game as fast and snappy as any ever staged by the men was played last night at the gymnasium between the sophomore women's team and the Polytechnic team from Kansas City. The final score was 12 to 27 for Kansas. Joyce Brown did the star when she played against the 27 points. Dorothy Queenfeld replaced Sara Trant in the second half and made five goals. Miss Trant was removed from the game when it was seen that the Kansas City girls were an easy match, and Miss Queenfeld was put in to add a form of the playing of the Kansas women was beautiful, and reminded the audience of the playing of men, in its speed and smoothness.
Time was called for 'Kansas City several times, on account of muddy ties, and when one young lady became excited and then hysterical. Lucy Richards played a fast and unmusing game. Though she had no friends she also worked effective work in diverting the attention of the Kansas City women, who were unused to Miss Richard's style of playing.
The lineup was as follows: Kansas

ARE AFTER THE FACTS
Chapel Committee Send Out Questionaire to Feel Religious Pulse of Students
DO YOU WANT RELIGION?
Or Do You Want Religion—For The Other Man?
Do you want a daily, religious chapel service that will get you out of your house and give dawn and give you an ample space to show just what your religion is worth?
Or are you strong for religion—for the other fellow?
Or would you do away with daily religious service altogether?
Where do you stand, anyway?
The chapel committee has taken the warpaint. It is out for facts. When it comes back it is going to have a lot of them. It is sending out to all students in the University the following letter and questionnaire:
February 14, 1916.
To Students of the University.
You are willing, of course, to give at least ten minutes of your time for the good of the University—five minutes to read this letter and five minutes to mark your reentry and drop it into a University (not a U. S.) mail box.
Last year an eight o'clock chape service was established as a public recognition of religion in the life of University and as an agency for develop students and faculty. No record was made of the attendance last year and so we have no definite bsis for comparison with the attendance during the semester just closed. An accurate estimate of the last semester and the average attendance was seventy-four. In planning its work for the present semester the Committee desires very much to find out if the attendance last semester represents a number of students and faculty who responded upon to support a seryt-
The Committee has tried to keep the services up to a high standard. All of the leaders have been able men and some of them have been men of exceptional ability. Through the Kansan and by posted notices, publicity in newspapers regarding leaders and subjects. That is how to maintain a simple religious service without "special features" or "special" advertising.
Do you believe that such a service ought to be maintained? If so, are you able to do your part toward supporting it or are you opposed to such a service? These are questions regarding which it is important that we know your attitude. Do you not give us the desired information, you enclosed card and MAIL IT NOW?
Very truly yours,
THE CHAPEL COMMITTEE,

"We want the facts," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the committee, in discussing the matter today, and we hope the students will be able to find information. We want to know how many believe in such a service to the extent of supporting it, how many believe in it theoretically only and how many believe in it openly indifferent or opposed, when the question is put clearly before them.
A RELIGIOUS SERVICE
"Although our committee is called the 'Chapel Committee' and the 'Morning Prayers' is currently referred to as 'Morning Chapel', it is, of course, not the same as our old-time 'Chapel' which we know in many ways a crowded house) and not the same as the 'Chapel' at many other institutions. In such 'Chapel' services
religion generally occupies but a fraction of the time. Our 'Morning Prayers' is solely and entirely a religious service.
TAKES STAMINA
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1916.
"We knew, when this service was established, that it would not appeal to all students, and that it would require some stamina to get out to a daybreak service when the thermometer dropped below zero. But with these considerations, the attendance she large as we had hoped for, and some of the committee think that many of the students have not been reached by the methods of publicity heretofore employed. In order to remove all of this respect and to secure accurate information to which to base our plans for the remainder of the year, we are sending this letter to every student.
REPLIES CONFIDENTIAL
"The information obtained is meant for the use of the committee only but possibly some of the general results may be given out. We hope that each student will sign the reply in the book and sign it on the numbered so that we can identify replies and determine whose cards, if any, fail to return."
Plain Tales from the Hill
Mr. W. W. Lyon of Augusta, visited his sons, Dandridge and Garrett, who are freshmen in the College, Thursday. Mr. Lyon was well pleased with the University and said that he had no idea that the school was as large as it is. He is engaged in playing horses to ship to Europe. He would think that Kansas is at least a second to Kentucky, if they spent a little time looking over the fine stock of the state.
Glenn Swagger, who reads Latin every morning before breakfast as a diversion, says he knows of no better way to do it than the day right. He rises at half past six, and spends an hour reading either Horace, or Virgil.
Oapl Holmes, a senior in the College, is confined to her home at 1042 Tennessee with a well-developed case of la gripe.
Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary mining fraternity, announces the pledging of Elmer W. Smith, sophomore Engineer, of Norton.
Joyce Brown, College '18, spent the week end with her parents, who live on a farm near Olathe.
Leonard Holben and Lester Dick freshmen Pharmics who are taking chemistry, have fitted up a private laboratory in their room at 1017 Indiana with a complete set of chemicals and apparatus used in chemistry 1. They intend to gain in time and convenience by not having to climb the Hill when they want to put in extra time.
Elmer Smith, has returned to continue his studies on the heliophysicist's left school in October, having on his account of business.
Leonard Holben, a freshman Engineer last fall, who was forced to leave school on account of sickness just before Christmas is now enrolled as a Pharmic. Pharmacy was Holben's first choice; he was simply giving Engineering a try. While at home he persuaded his cousin, Lester Dick, to try K. U. Dick is now a Pharmic, too.
Certain animals are immune to certain diseases, according to F. H. Billings, Professor of Bacteriology. The only animal other than man which will take the measles is the monkey, wich the Professor says, might be considered another proof as to our ancestry.
Warren B. Hanson of Wolf's Book Store, attended several sessions of the Merchants' Short Course. Mr. Hanson recently won a prize for window decorting, offered by the Carter Ink company, but says that he can still learn something about the subject.
The Pi Gamma Sigma sorority entertained Saturday night for the faculty of the department of education and the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity.
Morris Jones, a member of the 11:30 freshman gym class, had serious difficulty in breathing for a minute or two Wednesday when he was hit by a "medicine" ball. H. A. Lorenzo applied respiration methods, and Jones was all right in a few minutes.
H. M. Cowan, a graduate of the College in 1911, and a member of the Delta Tau fraternity, was here visiting the Merchants' Short Course. Mr. Cowan taught the secretary of the Merchants' Association of Abilene. "I enjoyed the week immensely," he said. "The round table with the secretaries certainly very valuable for us." Cowan left Saturday to attend the autumn sale show in Kansas City.
LAWRENCE GETS PLAY
Forbes-Robertson Won't Go To Kansas City Because He Has Already Been There
HIS LAST AMERICAN TOUR
American Theater Will Lose a Great Man and a Great Actor
the reason why Sir Johnson Forbes-Robertson is coming to Lawrence instead of Kansas City on February 15, is that he has played in Kansas City already. Like Shakeson, he will appear only once as the rule to play only once in a place. Although he will appear in Topeka and St Joseph, Lawrence is the only town in this part of the country that the Humet." The other towns will see "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" or "The Light That Failed."
Ordinarily when a great artist is to be seen, Lawrence people pay railroad fare to Kansas City; but in this case a large number of Kansas City people are doing their ordering early at the Bowersock. Miss Barbara Wheater, a pianist and artist, of Kansas City, is bringing up a class of art students to see him. An entire class in English literature is coming down from Washburn. A great many of the near-by high schools will have students here also. Mr Sherman Wiggins, of the local school, says that, "the day after tickets are all gone." The sale has been very rapid," he said, "as the public is quick to take advantage of an opportunity like this."
When Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson appears on the stage of the Bowersock as Hamlet, Kansas will see him for the last time—and in his greatest and most famous role. A recent article in the *Bellman* says that Forbes-Robertson offers enormous scope, but for a reason and acting. It has great variety. It passes from grave to gay and then back again. It is popular now, and was very popular in Shakespeare's time, partly because of the references the various topics of the day, but larger than those of humanity at large in one person. Any thinks at all of life thinks he has in himself a certain amount of Hamlet."
It was during his farewell season in London while playing the role that Forbes-Robertson was knighted. On that last night long after the curtain had fallen, and the actor had made a speech, the applause ran on and on all along in the gallery started "Auld Leng." The Forbes-Robertson is now making his farewell tour of America and at the close of the season will retire to his home and his painting—for he is an artist as well as an actor.
WRESTLED AND MADE LOVE
His first visit to America was in 1885 when he led a leading man for Mary Anderson, then the artistic stage. With her he was seen as Pipquion, Romeo, Orlando, Ingoman, and Claude Melnotte. Of his Orlando the critic of the New York World wrote: "The Orlando of Mr. Forbes-Robertson was much the best of several roles. To a most intelligent reading of the novel, it is an advantage of a singularly graceful and athletic figure, and it is saying a great record to that wrestling was quite as good as his love-making."
PLAYERS WHO WERE IN A NIGHT
Players whose names go back to that event night in 1851 John Hare produced Pineiro "The Profilogue" will recall the sensational success Forbes-Robertson achieved in that play. He won in a single night a plate win, rank of English actors and he woke up the most talked of man of the day. From that time on Forbes-Robertson became a prominent figure on the English stage. With Hare he appealed to his fans with Bountiful "Diplomacy," "Castle," Buckingham in "Henry VIII," as Lancelot in "King Arthur," and with Mrs. Patrick Campbell in "Michael the Lost Angel," "For the Crown," "The School for Scandal," and in "Magda" and "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
In the spring of 1897 Forbes-Robertson made his first appearances as Othello and Hamlet. The latter ran in the London Lyceum Theater for one season, and has been his greatest success and one of the glories of the English stage.
ANOTHER POP CONCERT
WON FAME IN A NIGHT
In 1902 he produced Kipling's "The Light That Failed" and appeared for the first time in America in Hamlet for The Times of Vienna. In 1908 he undertook the Papez play of *Third Floor Back*, hardly expecting it to be a success. It ran for three years and is at the present included in the Library of Congress's "Hamlet" and "The Light That Failed."

GUMBINER WINS PRIZE
Is Awarded $50 In Dramatic Club Play Contest—Names is Second
JUDGES COULDN'T AGREE
Award Committee Had Hard Time Choosing Best Play
"Copying the Grape's," by Alton Gumbiner, a middle Law, won the $50 prize offered by the Dramatic Club for the best student play. The play was written and adapted to Arthur A. Names, a special in the College, for "Jimmy Jayhawk"
The Play Conetst Committee has had considerable trouble deciding on the winner, the members of the committee disagreeing on whether it should be awarded to Alton Gumbiner or Arthur Names. Several meetings were held but the committee could not reach a decision until Saturday morning, when after two and one-half hours was decided by a majority vote to give the first prize to Mr. Gumbiner and second prize to Mr. Names.
The judges were: Prof. Arthur MacMurray, Prof. H. T. Hill, Prof. William Wattles, Prof. Willard Wattles, James McNaught, Don Bannett and Dorothy McKown.
"Copying the Grapes," is a farce comedy of college life, full of good local material, with an insight into the material. The plot given briefly is as follows:
A COLLEGE FARCE
A young man who has lost his money on the Nebraska game, writes home for money. His father refuses to send it, so hearing the dramatic club is offering a $50 prize and decides to try for it, although he has never written a play. It is then 11 p.m. and the contest closes at 8 the next morning. He must write all records come to see him, one of whom proves that he heart stopping for an hour to see him on her way to Kansas City.
While they are talking, a burglar appears, takes their jewelry, and keeps them there for some time, then proceeds to smoke the best cigars, the police finally arrive, and instead of taking the burglar, decide to take the jewelery themselves. The student has been busy writing all these lines as they happen, finishes the play by noon, and plays the contest committee, thus defeating the purpose of his rival, who has planned the burglary. The play ends with his being awarded the prize, and writing his sweetheart that he will present at Christmas. It is divided into a prologue, two acts and an epilogue.

MRS. BROWN NOW HAS A
LIST OF 26 CHAPERONES
As a result of invitations sent out by Mrs. Eustace Brown, Adviser of Women, soliciting the wives of the faculty members who would act as chaperones for University dances and social affairs, a list of twentysix is on file in Mrs. Brown's office in Fraser Hall.
These women gladly volunteered to chaperone dances, according to Mrs. Brown, and the matter of securing a chaperone for parties will be simpler from now on. The parties giving the dance invite the chaperones and may find the authorized list at Mrs. Brown's office.
The matter of giving three days notice before the date a dance is scheduled to occur is causing no trouble whatever and Mrs. Brown says that the only difficulty had been in a misunderstanding of the rule. The difficulty of securing a chaperone at a late hour was assigned as the main reason for requiring the three day announcement.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on paper, so that the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to teach them the ability to the students of the University.

The soul of a choleric man sits at ea by the Fireside.—New Testament.
THE "SHAME OF KANSAS"
It is with sincere regret that the University of Kansas allows Prof. Carl Becker to leave the institution. He is one of the keenest men in the faculty in all lines of activity. His place will be hard to fill, even if the leading men of the country are candidates.
By his scholarly treatises on historical subjects,he has attracted attention over the whole United States. His essay on "Kansas" has been widely-quoted and is of especial interest to Kansans.
The authorities at the University have been feeling for a long time that sooner or later some of the larger schools would let their desire for Professor Becker's services become so strong that there would be no holding him here.
It will be with the greatest reluctance that it lets him go—if, indeed, the Board of Administration finally decides to accept his resignation. If there is any inducement that could be held forth that would keep him at the University of Kansas, the Board ought by all means to take steps to offer it to him.
The conditions that bring about the University's inability to hold such men might be termed the "shame of Kansas."
The University of Kansas has been noted for the many great men that have from time to time been associated on its faculty, and Professor Becker is one of them. He has done as much as any other one man to make the name of Kansas respected among the universities of the country. His services are too valuable to lose.
If Professor Becker does leave, the University will sustain a loss from which it will be hard to recover.

NOT ONLY CULTURE
The one big, significant fact that has struck the average Kansas through the press reports of the Merchants' Week that has just closed is the dollars and cents benefit that the University is offering the business men of Kansas.
To try to put a specific value on the general benefits that the University of Kansas offers the state through the spread of culture, would be comparable to an effort to place a market value on the air we breathe.
But when the University brings the big men of the country together at one time for the express benefit of the merchants of the state, the value of the institution becomes more real to them.
The Merchants' Week is just one of the many activities of the University that have for their purpose direct aid
to the people of Kansas. And in this way many are brought to see that there is another important side to the University other than the cultural.
"The Haul of Fame"—Sheridan's Ride.
LOOK OUT. MISSOURI
The pleasant little track meet that was held last week with the Emporia Normalms caused the students of the University to allow their thoughts to stray forward to that memorable date in March when the annual Missouri-Kansas speed-fest is held. Within the memory of man, there has been just once that the speed of the Jayhawkers was of sufficient lasting quality to outdo the Tigers, in in-door meets.
But the broad smile that Coach Hamilton is wearing these days causes the thinking student to pause—and wonder. The one question is whether there is sufficient material to turn out the quality of track team that is necessary to duplicate the performance of 1913. If the material is there, Coach Hamilton will bring it out.
We are none too prone to toss out bouquets, but it is a recorded fact that whenever there is sufficient material, W. O. Hamilton, carelessly called William Omar, turns out a championship aggregation. And when there is not, he still manages to make things decidedly interesting for any opponent.
So it is with unusual interest that the students of the University of Kansas await the fatal (for Missouri) day in March.
Our idea of a poor job would be to cut up paper for the snow storm at a cabaret dance.

The Roosevelts have sailed to visit the scenes of the Spanish-American battles, leaving America temporarily unprepared.
The problem of increasing farm products to keep pace with the growing population is dependent upon having plenty of farmers. Both factors are closely related to education; the teachers teach people how to do their work, but they don't dust their lives, their community as well as their personal affairs. Mr. Leake would put into the educational program all the latest devices for making life more attractive in the rural areas. The needed reforms to regenerate agriculture are well presented, and several examples have been pointed out to show that practical results may really be attained—Independent.

Modern up-to-the-minute essays as published in the "New Republic" will be studied this semester by the Rhetoric II class of Prof. Percy Ellis. Essay reading is a part of Rhetoric I; two essays of having his students read old time classics, Professor Shoste decided on essays on modern subjects.

THE FRAT'S PLACE
Fraternity life and the existence of fraternities are justifiable only when the members realize that the special privileges which they enjoy make them more likely to be a citizen in a very special way. To the extent that the fraternity man (or woman) responds to the demands made upon him as a member of university life, he is therefore true to his fraternity and himself. Fraternity life has many beautiful things in connection with it, the friendships, the associations and all that goes to increase man's happiness with these. Fraternity is not with man. These are its privileges.
"K. U, 15, please," calls a student yesterday afternoon.
"Thank you. Good bye," says the student.
But at the beginning the pledge should know that the fraternity is not the most essential thing in a college life, it is a delightful incident, but at the same time it is incidental. The fraternity has its own sense of its widest sense. The problem is to keep the fraternity activity within its proper sphere. Give it that part of your time and orchery which it has a right to expect of you. Keep the fraternity within its own chapter house; maintain relationships with you. Remember that your university comes first, in all things. Give yourself no added glory because you have been one of the chosen; you have yet to prove yourself in every way. Lead the broadest fraternal life that you possibly can. And last and last will be your life. And that the one best fraternity after all is that comradeship and brotherhood which is every man's debt to his fellow on earth.-Minnesota Daily.
IT PAYS TO EXERCISE
Some die trying; more try dying.
"English department," answers someone with a pleasant feminine voice.
"May I speak to Miss Gardner?" asks the student.
"I am awful sorry but she has just come," home comes from the English department.
At this time, just at the start of the second semester, there is a splendid opportunity for many students to take advantage of the benefits offered by exercising in the gymnasium. There are many different sports, and probably go through their entire university course without even getting on the gym floor in a track suit and then at graduation they wonder why they feel sluggish and as if they are unfit. You will learn that you might require some physical endurance. With five months more to develop the muscles and to get good red blood coursing through the veins why is it that so many men never go near the gym or get out into the country and walk? It is not because it is an unwritten law with many students that enough exercise is obtained going back and forth to class. They rise in the morning, walk a block or so to class and return at noon or in evening without having walked more than one mile. You are again at the study table until the "wey" hours, then go to bed with a wonder expressed why they do not sleep. The college student is known everywhere by his effort to become a successful athlete, sometimes when the weather is a bit biting. Then, if ever, is just the time to get into action. You do not have to be on the athletic teams to use the gym and if you get out just a couple of hours each week studying will become more interesting. From now on let this be your slogan, "IT PAYS TO EXERCISE"—Purdue Exponent.

The executive officers of the International Polity Club at the University are Kenneth Pringle, Glendon Alvine, George Strong, and W. Ralph Ellis. C. A. Dykstra, and D. L. Patterson are members from the faculty.
JAYHAWKER STRONG
FOR ARTISTIC COLORING
Dr. Corbin Asks That Kansas Give Cultured, Sheltered Home to University Girls
"Although there will be plenty of color in this year's annual Jayhawker," says E. M. Johnson, the editor, "it will all be high class art work, and loud coloring will be omitted. The prevailing tint throughout the book will be light blue and all decorations will be light tints of grey and green, thus giving the annual a delicate color throughout."
Each section of the Jayhawner will have for its initial page a colored poster of four shades. These posters will introduce the various departments including those devoted to athletics, fraternities, sororities and many other conventional divisions of a college annual.
The front section of the 1916 Jayhawker including the frontispiece, title-page and the table of contents, will be printed in three colors. The contents has been missing from the Jayhawker for the past few years.
"HOUSE K. U. WOMEN"
The cover will be of first class sheep-skin and the color will be a deep green. Kansas colors will feature the first eight pages.

THE STATE CAN AFFORD IT
Lawrence, Kansas, February 14.—Many University of Kansas women cannot pass their college years in the atmosphere of a cultured home because the University has no dormitories. Her mentions advanced by Dr. Alain Corbin, of the department of German, in a plea for women's dormitories, which she made before the Kansas Conference of Women, at their annual meeting on January 28, shortly after she been elected president of that body.
Kansas Conference of Women
Discusses Educational Problems
KANSAS YALES SHORE
"A compromise on the conditions at KU, with those of Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota makes it very clear that the University of Kansas falls far short of their standard. I regret that this true. There is no excuse for such a condition in a state where the university has the richest in the Union. The state is prosperous; it wants for nothing; and yet its leaves its University where it was twenty-five years ago. And this means that while others forge ahead, our relative rank among the great cities of the country, diminishes.
Dr. Corbin said in substance: "When I first came to the University of Kansas, there were so few women students that they could all find compartmentalized housing in their homes instead of in miscellaneous boarding houses. The number of women now in the University is so large that better accommodations are needed."
KANSAS FALLS SHORT
"I am a native of Kansas. As such, I claim the right to criticize Kansas, Patriotic Kansans have a bad habit of saying and believing Kansas is, in all respects, the best state in the Union, and that our university and our schools are superior to those of other states. This creates a wrong sentiment and prevents normal development. To give a concrete example of this over-suggestion, Mr. W. H. L. Moore of the Kansas State Normal at Emporia, has recently completed a careful survey of all the high schools of the state. In this survey, a certain Blank county was rated as follows:
CLAIMS RIGHT TO CRITICIZE
Persistence of high school attendance—28th.
Preparation of teachers—25th.
Salaries of supervisors—33rd.
Salaries of teachers—50th.
Breadth of curriculum—78th.
Number of children in attendance- 1st place.
This simply means that the large attendance reduces what little efficiency the schools of Blank County have in enrolling students and have a large enrollment combined with a minimum of efficiency. Their first place in enrollment gives them the last place in public service. One reason is that they are totally headed an article with big, black half-inch letters, "Ranks Close to Top". This was a gross misinterpretation of facts. We must look at these numbers to see if we intend to accomplish results.
"I feel sure that a dormitory at K.
U. would eat, wholesome scoli stam-
fing."
in cliques and above all, would create a democratic feeling," concluded Dr.
CONFERENCE FOR REFORM
CONFERENCE FOR REFORM
The Kansas Conference of Women, which is composed of presidents and past president of the Kansas state organizations of women, has for its purpose the undertaking of some welfare work for public benefit. It is the practice of this society to undertake not more than two lines of work at the same time. The society goes about its business by first creating public sentiment in sympathy with the proposed reform, and then it tries to get appropriation bills through the legislature. This society has turned its attention to the establishment of a hall of residence for women at K. U.
COMPOSED OF MANY SOCIETIES State organizations such as the StateFederation of Clubs, Daughters of the American Revolution, Kansas Deans of Women's College, Deans of Women of Kansas Colleges, Association of Collegiate Alumni and Daughters of Founders and Patriots belong to this conference. Miss Corbin has been a member of this society. ever since she held the position of president of the Kansas Dinner Club, a state organization for Kansas teachers.
"The time for action has come," added Dr. Corbin. "The sentiment has been created; we must get the appropriation bills through; we must have the women's hall of residence at K. U., because we need it; we can't afford it when other universities are progressing and leaving us in the distance."

Under the guidance of the local Y. M. C. A. Miss Mary H. West recently appealed to the Court to produce for her balm for a broken heart, which would not be appeased for any less than $10,000, although she admitted she might, if persuaded hard enough, be induced to get better. As Ms. Jerusalem Perkins she produced a copious amount of perfumed notes as evidence against Professor "Curly" Vaughn, the steward-hearted, indifferent defendant—a practiced trifer with women's hearts.

The long promised indoor football practice is to start at last. This morning coach "Beau" Olecott issued an announcement calling all men on the Varsity squad during the past season and all candidates for next week's game. The team meets Monday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium for the initial workout.
The winter practice will last for several weeks said Coach Olcott this morning and is being started purely in order to ensure that the men have acquired since the close of the season. For the first few days little will be done probably by sitting on the bench during the door track and to do some wrestling. Later the coach intends to have the

JAYHAWKS LOSE OUT HOLD BEAUTY CONTEST
Kansans Get Only One of Four Games in Missouri Last Week
The Kansas basketball five returned to Lawrence yesterday after a rather disastrous trip. In spite of the favrable advance dope Kansas failed to produce results and lost three out of four games with the two Missouri schools. The Tigers feasted on Jayhawker meat on Wednesday and Thursday at the capitol stadium for departure from Hamilton's men, while the Washington five found the sledding a little harder on Friday and Saturday nights.
The result of the trip is that Kansas goes farther down in the championship race and Missouri noses to win. But this season, Kansas undefeated until they face Merner's Kansas Aggies next week. But these games will not decide the Valley title. In fact, that mere formality was decided Friday and Saturday nights after three days of close games from the Aggies. Previous to this Nebraska had won the northern division title and since these games with the Aggies the title remains with the northern school perennial. Notre Dame each game only by a one point margin.
But in regard to the happenings at Washington, little could be learned. Kansas took the first game with a 30 to 23 score while the second game was over. That win gives Kansas the advantage of three out of four games from Washington.
The Jayhawkers apparently got over-confident for the second game, because they played in the worst form and the best out of them. They showed up the best for Kansas as he has in all the games this season. Reber was also one of the bright lights of the game, but the Washington force had to get around to get around the Jayhawkers guards.
The Kansas five will put the finishing touches to the practices for the season this week. Coach Hamilton will take his men to Manhattan Thursday for the two return games and another trip for the Kansas five. Two games with Missouri in Lawrence next week will end the season.

HOW YOU SELECT THEM
A Vote for Every Penny
rere every penny you invest in the purchase of a Jayhawker before March 3, you will be given one vote in the Vanity Fair Contest. Thus if you buy a two dollar book you may cast 200 votes, or if you pay twenty-five cents down on a book you may cast 25 votes. In order that every student may have a 1916 Jayhawker the price has been reduced to a minimum. However, this necessitates that a payment of not less than twenty-five cents be made on each book ordered. The same system that was used last year will again be used this year, namely: that no more books will be printed than have been ordered. Jayhawkers will be of three prices:
CLOTH                                                                 82
LEATHER (of the same quality as in the $5.00 de luxe
editions of last year)                                                   83
DE LUXE                                                                 85
This Is How You Vote
When you order your book you will be given a card on which will be recorded the number of votes to which you are entitled, which will depend upon the amount that you pay down. You will fill out this card for which ever candidate you wish to cast your votes. It must then be deposited in the contest box in the Jayhawker office in the basement of the Journalism Building. Seniors who have paid their dues may secure a ticket for voting upon application at the Jayhawker office. The keys to the ballot box will be held by Professors Merle Thorpe and W. W. Davis who will also act as tellers. The progress of the contest will be published in the Kansan on the two following Mondays, and the final results will be made known upon the appearance of the Jayhawker.
Every Day
1:20 to 4:00
There will be ten winners in the contest. The two highest will be given a full page each. The other eight will have a half page each. Professional designers and artists will arrange and decorate the six panels of this 1916 Jayhawker feature. Every winner will appear in two different poses, while the two highest will appear in either three or four different poses. These six pages will form the first division of the Vanity Fair Section. The other two divisions will be Women's Athletics and Women's Special Occasions. A part of the latter division will be a two page pictorial review of the May Fete. The athletic division will be given a treatment similar to the handling of the general athletic section.

The thirteenth annual convention of Kansas high schools and academies will be held here March 17-18. This convention since it will be held the fourth time, the event is expected to attract by far the greatest enrollment of its history.
In addition to four or five hundred high school superintendents who will make up the membership of the convention, some of the greatest educator leaders in the country. One of the most noted of these is L. D. Coffman, Dean of the School of Education of the University of Minnesota. Mr. Coffman will make an address on, "The Scientific Movement in Education," Jesse B. Davis president of the Association, which will talk on "Vocational Guidelines, a Function of Public Schools."
Other speakers from outside the state will take up the subjects of economics, practical English and the adaptation of school work to the needs of students. In addition they will be discussed in the way in which they affect the high school instructor. In addition to these lectures on big problems confronting the high school table there will be numerous round table discussions which will be less formal.
A typewriting contest will also be held during this session which will be open to any high school student in grades 9-12 department of any state high school.

3.000, SLOGAN FOR 'T
Enrollment Must Be Increased By 70 To Reach High Water Mark
"Three thousand enrollment next
fall," is the motto now in the office
of the school district.
The final figures, including this se
mester's new students, total 2930.
Approximately 125 students enrolled for
work this semester which boosted the
enrollment within seventy of the 3000
mark.
If the enrollment increases next far as rapidly as it has for the past few years the mark set by Registrar Forer will be a very conservative one.
Over 2000 students are now engaged in residence study at the University of California, where they rolled these take the correspondence work or enrolled in the summer school.
FUN GUARANTEED FOR ALI
Every Student at All-University Party, Mrs. Brown's Wish
A party at which there will be something to entertain everyone. This is what Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, plans to accomplish in the annual All-University party which will be given in the gym February 26.
The people who do not like to dance will be entertained by the minute and musical program; for the student who likes to come "just to see you" is welcome, and they can be a reception; for those who like to dance there will be good music.
"I want the students to realize that this is their party and I would like to see every student in the unit participate," he said, speaking of the party this morning.

Chaucey Hunter, chairman of the committee on general plans, has made arrangements with a firm in Kansas City to furnish the costumes for the men at a cost of $2.40 an hour, less than the cost first announced.
"Iam not a pacifist, philosophical or otherwise," said Professor Davis, "but I am thoroughly in sympathy with the work being done by the Polity Clubs, for I believe they are rationalizing in their efforts to make better sentiment between nations which will hold to eliminate unnecessary wars."

Prof. C. A. Shuil, of the botany department, has received notice of the shipment of a water thermostat that was ordered from New York a few weeks ago. The price for this water used for experimental purposes at a constant temperature. If the temperature varies a thousandth of a degree above or below the point at which the machine will automatically regulate the heat.
The machine is expected to arrive the last of the week, and will permit certain experiments to be carried on which have been delayed for years because of the absence of such an instrument.
The students of the University of Kansas who are somewhat "peeved" at the end of the semester because they cannot get their grades may find some consolation in the fact that in other school grades are much slower in being given them. In addition, the Ohio State Lantern the students of the University of Ohio will not be able to obtain their grades before the first of March.

LAWS RUN BOOK EXCHANGE FOR THEIR OWN SCHOOL
The student book exchange which was established in the College this year did not blaze a trail for this kind of student benefit in the University. The books supplied to the students in a similar manner for many years. Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the Law School, can't recall just when the system was started, but local book stores have never heard law he says. This is due to the frequent charges made in the books used.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UC Berkeley to go further than merely printing the text on paper. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to understand the university's students of the University.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
Much is heard, of late, of University state-service work. The University helps the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer; it takes education to the people through the extension department. Indirectly it serves the state by raising the intellectual status of the people.
In spite of all this the university is missing an opportunity to be of vital service to the people.
A university is supposed to give not only intellectual but ethical and moral training. We overemphasize the former; we neglect the latter. Why not have spiritual or religious training in the University?
Other nations say we lack national ideals, we lack spiritual impulse; it is a common indictment that we are a nation without a soul. If it be true that our finer national attributes are fading as we pay obesience to the dollar sign, what institution, what force other than the university have we to counteract this deterioration?
The pulpit? Men trained in theological seminaries seldom see the many sided issues of the day, and less seldom hold the attention of hard headed politicians.
Public officials? But our public men are drawn largely from the universities and if they have no ideals in college surely public life does not tend to foster them.
Journalists and authors? They too receive the brilliancy intellectual and materialistic college training.
Meanwhile any spiritual impulse the student has received has been hapazard, a mere by-product of some accredited course. Any ideals he may have formulated he hides under a coat of cynicism of reserve that helps him little and the world less.
Then he goes out in the world and does one of two things usually, either promptly forgets or still hides his ideals.
And then the world accuses us, as Henry Osborn Taylor says, of lacking vital motive power sufficient to lift us into something higher than a digestive and nutritive organism.
Yet the university, the public service advocate, will not acknowledge the value of religious teaching in the curriculum!
About the nerve of Pi! Couldn't one call it "Pi crust?"
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE"

Figure:
the appearance of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson tonight in "Hamlet" is an occasion that will be remembered for a long time by the drama-lovers of Lawrence. Not often does a town the size of Lawrence have the opportunity of seeing the greatest living Shakespearean.
That the students and townpeople appreciate this fact is shown by the enormous seat sale that has preceded the performance. A full house will greet the actor's "To be or not to be."
The secret of the popularity of "Hamlet" lies in the fact that the play, as no other, shows human beings what they really are. "We are all Hamlets" is the way that one critic puts it. The universal weakness of human-kind, that of indecision, is there displayed to the best advantage by the master dramatist of them all.
It is well that the people of Lawrence and the students are going to 'his play, because—
It's an unweeded garden that goes to seed."

HEAR "VOX POPULI"
Although every boy is a potential candidate for the presidency of the United States—a la Irving Bacheller—it must be admitted that there are some who have better chances than others.
The odds are seventeen to none, with college students taking the long end of the money.
And figures don't lie, even if an eastern newspaper statistician did compile them.
Only one person out of 750 goes to college, but seventeen of the twenty-seven presidents have once called for "86" and even may have had to wear freshmen caps. The vice-presidency—the political graveyard—has been turned with nineteen out of twenty-seven occupants by the colleges of the land.
In the Hall of Fame, half of the thirty-four were once compelled to stand in line all day for registration and enrollment, for the remedying of which evil, Dean Templin has promised another place—so the percentage is likely to be higher soon.
In Congress, the excellencies of college politics have been completely demonstrated. From the ranks of the hand-shaking, wire-pulling, pie-distributing, sleuth-footers, sixty-one of the ninety-three senators have been picked, and 272 out of the 395 Congressmen.
On the Supreme Court Bench, the colleges bat one thousand, every judge being a college graduate.
And yet, there are people who think that a college education doesn't pay!

Many hundreds of students are sentenced to the daily dullness of conversation at a boarding house or dormitory, lacking the pacefulness of conventionality; struggling derer the burden of assignments, with no time for the out-of-doors, no time to turn over treasured volumes, no time to discuss things out no time to live. Help them.

But if there are too many lowbrows ir college, so there are too many highbrows. One highbrow is one too many, if for no other reason than because it makes a breeder of lowbrows. Nothing makes a highbrow living with a highbrow. And perhaps it works the other way round, also; but since becoming a highbrow is the more conscious reaction of the two, it should be the mose easily controlled that, whether in college or out university, lowbrows halfway and abolish forever the need of frontal measurement.
—New York Tribune.
Mountain heights and canyon fastnesses have discovered their wonders to my eyes. I have slept beneath the pines in the unbroken forests of the Appalachian Mountains, the Indian in southern lands; and stood beneath the rose-hued dome of a Kansas sunset, with no tree nor hill top to break the line of my horizon. I felt felt the heat of the desert on my cheek; and the salt spray of the ocean, as I stood at the steamer's prow. I have gone alone into strange lands, people, hearing unknown tongues; and strangers guarded my loneliness.
To the Daily Kansan:
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
CAMPUS OPINION
On a day, I chose a name for myself. Freely translated, it means Inspiration. From that day, with my sympathy, I have turned many from the sorrows and shame of yesterday to faces toward the dawn of Tomorrow.
A Free Lance. 1916.
Yet these were not my Great Adventures. For I have experienced the great association, where a fine and a bustling city stands, the presence of men and women, where each spoke freely the high thoughts that should come to him, where each respected the thoughts of his neighbor, willing to life the level of daily endeavor.
I have turned the hearts of some from bitter cynicism to most revient faith, and set the mark of peace upon their brows.
It is only too evident that most of us have been classifying our brothers with a lack of particularity amounting almost to looseness. We have been taught to avoid roughness, and we have been confusing social with intellectual opprobrium. If Dr. Jordan's codification of these epithets be accepted, the low-brow need suffer under no social constraints (and "practical," while the highbrow is "practical enough." In other words, the lowbrow he is who is given to the purely objective and concrete view of things. He has a fondness for the female form in hand; he prefers football to philosophy, the market place to the library.
I have forsworn the society of friends to hold the hand of a dying woman, whose eyes were closing upon scenes in a land of exile, where neither kindred nor lifelong companion brought comfort to her last hours.
These were my Great Adventures. For I believe the Great Adventures are not those to be found for from the earth, they are rather a part of our daily lives and in most of all, in our associations and in the realm of our thoughts.
We all know what a highbrow is, but there seems to be some divergence of view regarding the lowbrow. Dr. David Starr Jordan has just explained how it can only one degree removed from a round face, this will seem rather more confusing than enlightening, since many of us have accustomed to using the two terms, roughneck and lowbrow, interchangeably. The good doctor even refers to a large class of undergraduate, roughnecks, we know, never go to college, they scorn the very suggestion with an absurd contempt.

Freshmen to Try New Plan in Collecting Class Assessment
That the freshman class would start within a few days the first collections of memorials to him was the state memorial Tom. Tom president, this foreword. Pringle has gone into the office of president since the opening of "Swede" Axline from school.
The new president says the class is going to avoid a heavy assessment in the last year by collecting a small amount on the memorial fund each year. The fund will be banked in the name of the class at the end of each quarter. The fund will out standing bills at present and the purpose of this year's officers is to leave a sum in the class treasury for next year.
The freshman class this year has shown itself particularly alive and
The work of collecting the money will be under the direction of president Tom Pringle, Alfred Bennett, chairman of the memorial fund committee and Eugene Martin, chairman of the finance committee. These persons will appoint a number of assistants to the College and the College and hope to have the matter of collections well taken care of by the date of March 10.

Dean Sayre takes issue with the statement of M. E. Jaffa, professor of nutrition at the University of California, that he murmurs of an individual being told Jaffa even goes so far as to say that a chocolate eclair produces an esthetic feeling in the individual, causes him to aspire to be better, while a cowork and beans might cause a boy to want to gamble or commit some crime.
"The man must have had a flight of imagination," said Dean Sayre, "when he made such a rash statement. Anyone can tell from his own mother or not his morals are thus affectionate and not deprived of some persons, we call them idiosyncratic, are peculiarly sensitive to certain foods. For instance, I once knew a fellow who could not bear to even ride past a field of buckwheat because of the smell of it caused an irritation in my eyes. I don't believe that it changed his attitude toward the ten commandments."

Mme. Guerin is now on a tour of America and has been brought here by the department of Romance language in France, so one can attend the lecture tomorrow afternoon even though they are unable to understand French because the ex-ambassador there, Mme. Guerin in imperialisation makes an interesting entertainment to anyone.

No one is permitted to receive inheritances of large fortunes in the future if a law is enacted which was written by Debating Society meeting Thursday night in Room 110 Fraser Hall. The question for discussion was Resolved: That it should be made unlawful to give any estate worth $1,000,000 as an inheritance, the balance of any estate to go to the national government. After a very heated argument a vote was taken, the ruling being unanimously for the affirmative.
Those taking part in the debate were; Kenneth H. Lott and E. E. Young, affirmative; and E. J. Goppert and John P. Finn, negative. It was decided that at all meetings hereafter the meeting would be held over to parliamentary drill. The next meeting will be held Thursday evening, February 17th.

Engineers Survey Network of Underground Tunnels—Little Coal Under Surface
Few of those who come and go on Mt. Oread realize that beneath the campus there is a network of tunnels with an aggregate length of about 4500 feet. Professor Terrill states that the opportunity for mine surveys which these tunnels afford is the best he as ever seen close to a university.
There is a difference of elevation of about fifty feet in the different parts of these passageways, and many of them are high enough to walk through erect. A careful survey of the tunnels was started Thursday of examination week, and will be carried forward by junior and seniors in class, and the work being done by men picked from nine who had experience in the coal mine at Lansing during the Christmas holidays.
SURVEY IS MUCH NEEDED
The mine surveying to be done here is of exceptional interest, because of the fact that John M. Sheet, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is in great need of an accurate survey. The present map of the grounds does not show the accurately and does not show the respective elevations at all. The coal mine at Lansing, 720 feet beneath the surface, is so level that the men gained no experience there in carrying elevations. Here, no level will be used, but the elevations will be carried along very accurately with a transit. The survey will also offer opportunities of using ropes to climb steep angles, and the little shaft between the mining building and the gymnasium will offer a little experience in shaft plumbing.
A MIGHTY HOT PLACE
These tunnels contain all of the steam plants from the power plant to each of the buildings on the campus. At this time of the year they are so hot that the squads can only work one or two hours at a time. After this turkish bath they were washed in the ammonia. A week ago Saturday H.E. Fairchild had many of the symptoms of sunstroke from remaining too long in one of the tunnels, and on the first trip Professor Terrill received some steam from some small, unprotected pipes encountered in one place.
A letter just received from C. M. Young, associate editor of the Coal Age, and formerly professor of mining at K. U., calls attention to the fact that there is a small seam of coal beneath the University campus which it might be possible to reach with a shaft or slope in case the mining department wanted to go into mining business on a large scale. A man who could be seen in the street south of the Watkins residence. It is understood that a well put down at Haskell Institute also struck coal.
WORK WILL BE DONE MIMIDIATELY
The survey of tunnels beneath the campus will be carried ahead as rapid and possible access to the heat from the steam pipes at this time of the year. It is expected that most of those who went to Lansing will return for one or two week-end each to complete the work before summer. The state mine inspector is asking for a map of the state from the campus, and now working on one for him. H. N. Stryker is completing the map made by H. E. Crum and George Sammons early in January.

NOW COMES GYM MEET LAWYERS NEED SPANISH
K. U., the Aggies, and the Normals Will Fight For Honors
A triangular meet of gym teams will be held between the University of Kansas, the Agnies, and the Normals, at Emporia March 17. Competition will be held in the following events: parallel bar, high bar, side horse and tumbling. Each competitor select three combinations of exercises, use a pair of gloves, and approach to apparatus, difficulty of combination, muscular control and form of execution and dismount from apparatus.
The first intercollegiate gym meet in this section of the country was held at Stillwater, Okla., between the Kansas State Normals and the Kentucky College, resulting in a victory for the latter by a score of 25 to 15. This meet was a success in every respect, and from the interest shown in the event it is best pretended that the testors will become a recognized sport in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Some very promising material for such a sport is to be found at K. U. Jenson and Graham are excellent in work on the high bar, while Lewis Foster, freshman quarterback, is working with K. U. Jenson's gymnast. Walter Wood is capable of doing very neat work in this form of sport. As a tumbler and wrestler, "Jick" Fast is as strong as he is on the gridiron. Other men just as promising are John Cary, Kenneth Bell, C. E. Spencer, and Art Wylstraw. Practice for the team is held on Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30.
John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University, has definitely stated that he will not construct a bridge across the golf links this year and that the coating enthusiasts might take the safer course with their bobs instead of trying to make a quick turn to avoid the ditch and the fence about Hamilton Field.
A wrestling tournament, it is hoped,
will be scheduled for the same evening
as the gym meet. Men weighing between
135 and 190 pounds who have
had previous experience in wrestling
are urged to report to H. A. Lorenz.
The night school gymnasium class for all women of the faculty, wives connected with the University, is still open to new members. The class will continue until the hour until 8:30 is spent in regular gymnasium work. The half hour from 8:30 to 9:00 is devoted to folk dances. Instead of the gymnasium work or dancing the women may swim during the class beginning soon becoming quite expert in this sport, which they thoroughly enjoy. The class will continue to meet until the first of May.

One Cannot Handle Crimein Practice Without It, Says Professor
Spanish for lawyers practicing in this section of the country has become almost a necessity, according to Prof. A. L. Owen of the department of Rochester, where he has been called upon five times within the last twelve months to act as interpreter for Mexicans on trial, and several times to interpret preliminary examinations. Spanish, he says, is the language a lawyer can take outside of Latin.
"Among all modern languages," said Professor Owens, "in a lawyer's practice Spanish is the most preferable. If a student intends to practice Spanish he must be born in western state, he ought to know Spanish. He can not possibly handle criminal practice without it. A little over a year ago then he went to Mexico living here in Lawrence. In Kansas City there are several thousand, while there are several Kansas towns that are largely composed of Mexicans and English."
In a Spanish class taught by Professor Owen in the manual training building of the Lawrence high school every week, two of his most interested students are practicing lawyers—J. S. Amick, county attorney and a K. U. graduate, and C. E. Lindsey, judge of the probate court. All take a very keen interest in the law, seven members of the faculty are taking Professor Owen's weekly course. They are Prof. William M. Duffus, Prof. L. B. McCarty, Dr. Alice L. Goetz, Miss Nellie M. Stevens, and Miss Elsa Bradley.
Coach McCarty wants all candidates for the positions of pitcher and catcher to report at the gymnasium from 1:30 to 3:30 Thursday, Feb. 17.

BEGIN AGGIE TRYOUTS
Coach Hamilton Pleased With Strong Showing Made by First Division Candidates
The first part of the tryouts for the Aggie track meet were held yesterday, and Coach Hamilton said fairly good time was made in all events and Coach Hamilton will have every reason in the world to expect a team squad in Manhattan Monday night.
In the distances the Kansas men are showing wonderful speed this year. Every man whom Hamilton is counting on seems to be in first-class shape, and from a few colds, and the rest of them, he wears the same uniform in men tin-top shape for the Argies.
The first event on the tryout program proved the most interesting race of the afternoon. This had to be run in one and only four men could跑入 a one-kilometer saw Rodkey, Elliott, O'Leary and Campbell on their marks and the crowd looked for one of the prettiest races of the year. They were not disinterested when they met when O'Leary defeated Rodkey by a foot. Campbell and Elliott fought the other two all the way and the last man finished only one second behind him as time withk won the second in good time in kickoff, Dillon, freshman, right on his heels.
Practically the same men will toe the mark tomorrow for the half mile and the classy race will be repeated in the nine lap distance. It is probable, also, that Herriot, and Sproull will also tryout in this event.
The mile race was also an interesting race from the spectators' point of view. A fast race was run and this race made the rivalry among the contestants more intense. Herriott had no trouble in winning the race while Sprout after fighting hard was only able to finish fifteen yards behind. Grady and Howland entered the race but they were saving up for the mile tryout which comes tomorrow.
The sprints in the Aggie meet will probably see the same men on the mark as were sent against the Normals last week. The tryouts brought out no new men and the same ones will race after the grapes.
After the remainder of the tryouts tomorrow the men will only have light workouts until Monday. No hard races will be run and "warming up" each afternoon will be the workout. But the coaches will have a hard "workout" when they try to pick sixen matches against me. A Conference ruling limits the number of men in an indoor dual meet to sixteen. Thus, when ten events and a relay have to be run some close figuring is necessary.
Can it be that University students in the department of history have really turned "highbrows," or that they are merely up to the time honored custom of trying to make a good impression upon their instructors by a few well placed recitations at the library, but not so much as to be exemplars of the history librarians reports that the students are making such a run upon the books of his department since the beginning of the semester that he has been thoroughly disappointed in thinking that he would be able to do some undisturbed study and then be rewarded with an sarcastic say that the students are equally distributed among the classes under Professors Becker, Dykstra, Davis, and Patterson.

HAMLET BEHIND SCENES
Great Tragedian Puffs on Cigarette While Fair Ophelia Weeps
WHEN POLONIUS COMES TO
Kicks up Foot When Reporter Stumbles Over His Dead Body
"Hamlet" is funny—from the wines.
And grave-diggers didn't furnish all of the comedy either. There was the stage manager. Likewise the fat媽 who laid out Ophelia on the stage, who bore him stumbled as he came off from his promenade under the green light. And forget not those lady players, of Lawrence vintage, who toil in the Under Laundry by day and play princesses on such occasions as last night.
DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE
DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE
Seeing a play from the wings is not at all experience of the wights, from the other side footlights. To the audience, everything which is seen takes on glamor with the influence of suggestion, lighting effect, and the phenomena of crowd psychology. But to see the same thing while you are leaning up against a rough brick wall, with your hands in your pockets, hat, and overcoat on, behind you is seen when you are walking through which are sprawned unshaven seen shifters, where "sups" stand ill at case in misfit uniforms, where ladies-in-waiting gossip with the queen who wears a pasteboard crown or laugh with a character who was killed and dragged off stage a minute before, and the ghost is having, as if they were in the midst of this and at the same time see Hamlet struggling with Fate is to laugh, if you aren't used to it.
Let us look at Hamlet. He sneaks out of his room and stalks on the stage while the supers crowd around the wings to peek out at him or at the audience. His soliloquy was wonderful—those parts which could be heard above the chatter, between Onelia and her future mother-in-law. Polonius also has quite a case, with one of theQUEST attendants. That is possible possibility for Polonius was a queer old duck, but he did have e lot to say to the actress, and his accent was more youthful than it was on the stage.
HAMLET IS INDIFFERENT
Back to Hamlet again. This character is one of Shakespeare's greatest creations critics say. He is introspective, inclined to subtle analysis. Sir Johnston is a true Hamlet. While Ophelia is out in front scattering flowers and tears to the memory of Hamlet the reader has to smoke or smoke smoking a cigarette—just a plain Faidima—and kicking about the money in the acting business.
"We don't get paid enough," he complains. You newspaper man or he complains. You reporter thinking of certain callers now residing in box office. But then Sir Johnston was pleasant about it and wasn't trying to be iron-
That closet scene with the queen was a hard one for Hamlet. It required two cough-drops, while one was sufficient for ordinary scenes. But it was nearly as hard on Polonius, for he had to wait in the dark room waiting for the end of the scene. But he was fortunate, in that he could shift his legs occasionally without being seen and get an easier position. It was a rather dangerous position, however, for two or three stage hands stumbled over him as they moved around. He seized the occasion, when a reporter passed unwarrily near his dead body, to put up his foot in an effort to trip up the intruder.
H. ATHOL DIGS A GRAVE
Behind the drops, Ophelia was being embalmed. She watched the process in a hand mirror and put on an extra dab of powder herself just before the mummy took the hold. The procession was forced to make a hurried formation because of the delay of one of the altar boys who couldn't find the cross, which she had to carry at the head of the procession. But everyone got on even though one of the bearers appeared as he went up the steps.
The church-yard scene was well done but the audience little realized what pride was sacrificed by H. Aitol Ford, the first-grave digger, who had to rub dirt on his hands just before the curtain went up. His rustic wardrobe was bad enough he said, but his realization that the dreadful rame. But then a scene shifter called him Sam after he cane off, so it might not be so bad after all.
At the end of the fourth act things were going pretty well. The stage manager was in good humor and smiled once at least. He even棠 connected with the table on after Ophelia's grave had been carried off. But he did have one real scare. Hamlet roomed on one side of the stage and the manager did a demonstration of his signature. He signalled for the curtain to go up. It went. Hamlet was to enter with
Horatio. But he was nowhere in sight. The stage manager went through some very real uneasiness when the star failed to appear. He even started back to see what the trouble was, but Hamlet and Horatio hurried on and the audience thought it was part of the business.

NEW SPECIMEN OF FISH
CAUGHT IN KAW RIVER
The American barbot, a fish that is rarely found in this part of the country, has been recently caught in the Kansas River, and is now in a bottle in the Museum. Mr. C. D. Bunker, custodian of the Museum, purchased the fish from Alfred Jella, a fisherman. So far as can be found, this is one of the few fish ever been caught in this part of the country. The American barbot is said by Mr. Bunker to be found from New England throughout the Great Lakes to the Yukon. It reaches the length of usually two or three feet, although specimens six feet long have been caught since the dawn of food in the United States, but rises much in esteem farther north. The liver and roe are said to be delicious. In Siberia its skin is used instead of glass for windows.

"CHOCOLATE MALTED" MORE POPULAR THAN "HAM AN"
Alpha Chi Omega announces the pledging of Eugenia McNaughten, freshman College.
"Make mime ham and eggs." "Hurry up that order of wheat cakes." "Glimpse another malted cheese. No, it's hungry mug storming at the doors for something to eat but simply a few of the cries you hear if you chance to drop in at Brickens's just outside. That is sounded for an eight-thirty class.
"There is not much call for real hearty breakfasts," said Mr. Bricken Thursday afternoon, "the fellows are the ones who got time for a regular meal. We sell a lot of soda, though, more than you would expect. I suppose the reason for that is because the men cook in a hurry and make their classes."
Strange as it may seem the largest of these frosty mornings is for malicious cats who piping hot meal. An average of more than thirty cooling drinks are dispensed each morning, and the cats often offer solid food are in the minority.

Constitution of W. A. A. Will
State Requirements
TO AWARD "K" TO WOMEN
The constitution of the Women's Athletic Association has been compiled by the executive board of this organization, sent to the printer, and will send its copies to each of the members. In this pamphlet are stated the number of points required for the different letters and numerals, and the trophies and medals to be awarded to the inter-class and inter-count contests.
The award of merit which the average woman athlete can gain, consists of a large square topped letter A, placed across it. For each activity in which a member takes part, in floor work or in some sport, a maximum, medium or minimum number of points is given to count toward the award of merit; so a woman needs not be an amateur but a professional of athletics in order to gain this letter of honor. The points necessary to gain the different class numerals will count in the winning of this letter A. The highest honor, an emblem K can be won only when a player in some intercollegiate game.
This organization was started in the early part of last December, when some 250 women signed petitions for a women's Athletic Association at K. U., an enthusiastic meeting held and this association formed. At this time Miriam Jones was elected president, Joyce Brown, secretary, and Kathryn Pratt these officials together with Dr. Goetz, Miss Gladys Elliot, and Miss Hazel Pratt were declared the executive board.
The fact that the position of sports director, filled by Miss Pratt, was instituted for the first time, last fall brought a new team to the nation best shown this year in the different sports. The basketball women have already played several games and have scheduled several more. A swimming meet is being planned for next week, and a basketball team will be organized in the next few weeks. Effective and efficient hockey teams, largely composed of upper-class women and coached by Dr. Goetze, have been played all winter in various country squads have been in action.
"Although over 200 women have, through their signing of the petitions for an athletic association the right to charter membership, less than 100 of them have taken out tickets and sent Brown, secretary of the organization. "We are anxious that all women get their tickets so we will know definitely how many will be admitted to the banquet given by the association so they can not tickets cannot and a member needs not take an active part in athletics. The only thing required is her loyal support.
Hayden R. Hunter, of Bucklin, has finished the course in civil engineering and was fortunate enough to land a job with the Frisco railroad as a surveyor. Hunter received his pass Fri- reed from the University of Springfield, Mo., until February 28th. He says he is going out now to try to realize something out of all this knowledge he has been storing up for the past four years. When asked if he intended to wear an engineer's shirt, Hunter said he did not expect to have to work with College men or Laws, so why shouldn't he?

A class in education will be organized at Topeka Wednesday night by Prof. H. W. Nutt, of the School of Computer Science, at the University Extension Division.
The class will be composed of teachers and playground workers who are interested in child study and child psychology.
No attempt will be made by the Extension Division to establish more out of town classes this year because classes organized now will not be able to complete their course by the end of the year.
SCRIBES TO ORGANIZ
Students of Journalism to Form Unit to Promote Interests of the Department
The department of journalism, which considers itself as much of a unit as any other department or school on the Hill, has decided to order that the department be held Thursday night, February 24 has been set for the first meeting, which will be held in the Kansan office. At this meeting there will be an election of new officers in the journalism department with the exception of those who have just enrolled in Newspaper I urged to come. It has been suggested that the officers be a president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary—one i man and the other a woman.
The purpose of the organization is two-fold. First, the social purpose by which the students of the department may become better acquainted and more comfortable with unison to the advantage of the paper and the department. Second, the purpose of promoting the department in every way possible. Through organization journalists will be able to help promote all festivities and University affairs.
The students are very enthusiastic over this plan, and the professors of the department are none the less so. "I'll back the proposition if I have to do it with money," said Professor Thorpe.
DR. McKEEVER LECTURES
ON 'THE NEW HUMANISM'
Dr. William A. McKeever lectured upon "The New Humanism" before an audience of 150 in Myers Hall Thursday evening.
This address was the first of a series of three by Dr. McKeever, which will be given under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. The next number will be given away by Feb. 7, 1957, o'clock in Myers Hall. His theme will be "Is Science Blasting Away the Rock of Ages?"
By way of preface the speaker compared the new humanism to the humanistic movement that brought intellectual freedom to Europe after the rule of the human mind by religious dogmatism. The purpose of this new humanism is to create a world in which humanity can live more harmoniously. To accomplish this goal, philosophies which have ruled the past must be discarded, independence and competition, ideas ruling bygone days, must yield to cooperation and service, the master spirits of tomorrow.
PROFESSORS DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR RESEARCH WORK
In speaking of the new laboratories which are about to be built at Columbia, Mo., for carrying on national industrial engineering research. Prof. H. A. Rice says he thinks it hardly matters where he will take any part at all in the work.
The government is aiding the research through universities to which it gives financial assistance, and is allowing $15,000 a year to each school for the support of this work. When asked how the University of Arizona offers research both Professor Rice and Prof. C. A. Johnson said that the K. U. laboratories have excellent equipment, but that the instructors are so busy that it would be impossible for them to aid. Further, that the laboratories are all in use by researchers and they appropriate for new equipment, materials and salaries would have to be made.
A few students working on their theses, and a few of the instructors, do a little research work, the results of which are frequently published; but no extensive work has as yet been done.
SHE CAME FROM RUSSIA
The Women's Glee Club is hard as work on the cantata, "The Spanish Gypsies," which will be given some time in April. Dr. Alice Goetz is training those who are to take part in the concert, and Ms. Miss Edna Davis is in charge of the vocal work. About thirty will be in the choruses. The principal characters will be as follows: Spanish—Lola, Dora Lockett; Inez, Merle Cunningham; Spanish-Gypsies—Zerilina, Edna Davis; Esermelan, Jane Parmenter.
Mary Antin, Who Speaks Here Tomorrow, Immigrated to U. S.
S AN AUTHOR OF NOTE
books and Magazine Articles Are Well-known
From a poor ignorant, Russian girl to one of America's most prominent women is the story of the life of Mary Antin, who will lecture to afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Chapel in "They Who Knock at Our Gates."
Mary Antin was born in Polotzk, Russia, in 1881, the daughter of Jewish parents. Her father was poor, and when Mary was ten years old he came to America with the aid of the Polish immigrant Society. Three letters from his childhood held Boston. In the public schools of Boston Miss Antin received her first training. The circumstances of the family improved but little.
In 1899, when she was eighteen years old and only six years after her advent to America she wrote and published her first book, "From Polotok to Boston." Because of the uninterrupted life the book came into existence it created much comment among educators and found a ready sale. From the profits of this book and her other writings she was enabled to continue teaching English in Latin school and later at the Teachers College of Columbia University.
While studying at Columbia University she was married to Amadeus W. Graham, a professor there, but she continued her studies for two years after their marriage and has always written and lectured under her maiden name.
Because of her own experiences and struggles as an immigrant to this country Miss Antin's chief慰劳er is here. She has immigration problem and she has make a study of the question ever since growing to womanhood. In her work for the betterment of the immigrants and her attempts to out of them she has become a famous character,
A SOCIAL WORKER TOO
Besides her study of the immigration problem her name is associated with the leaders in the social and industrial work of this country. She has the advantage of being able to speak English, foreigner as well as the American. Her efforts to secure an education have been uniring and she has seized every opportunity this country has opened to her. Not being satisfied with the public schools and colleges alone she attended night schools, social tutoring school and then spent her spare time reading in libraries.
In 1912 "The Promised Land" her most famous book was published. This book is a result of her study of English literature and her international fame. For a number of years she has been appearing on the lecture platform and has a large list of subjects on immigrant and social questions. One of her most famous lectures is the one which she will deliver here tomorrow, "The Why Knock at Our Gates." Mary Antin is a contributor to magazine newspapers and magazines in this country, the "Atlantic Monthly," the "Outlook," and the "American Magazine." Her work has been printed and commented upon in practically all of the papers of this country.
Mary Antin is spending the week in art school, co-engaged in literary work, when she

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the city, but go further than merely printing the news from the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help students, in all, to justify the students of the University.

The study of vain things is laborious idleness—Fr.
FOR AN EDUCATION
Everyone involuntarily respects the man who tries to make his way through the University even under ordinary circumstances. But when a man as earnest as the one who has been advertising in the Daily Kansan attempts such a difficult task, it attracts attention far and wide. Many of the college papers have called attention to him.
But the significant fact is that the metropolitan papers over the country have found here a situation worthy of notice. The Christian science Monitor in a recent issue says regarding it:
It is not infrequently charged by those who think the public is assessed too highly for free education, that many men and women who attend state universities are seekingily in refutation of this is an advertisement in the Kansas University paper, saying: 'I am not afraid of work, and want something to do to enable me to go to school this semester. I will wash windows, do housework, and carry a card in a national union. I will wash windows, do housework, dig ditches—in fact, do anything. My hours are arranged so I have from 12:30 to 5 o'clock open, and daily Saturday's. No state should allow a woman to wear a ward fitting a man of this stamp for hfs rightful place in the world.
Kansas should be proud that there are men of such worth-while quality in the University. And Kansas should not begrudge anything it might do toward giving this man and the three thousand others the best of chances.
But next year about this time, the same old story will be retold at the session of the legislature. The appropriations will become the biennial football for the politicians to kick about, and the spectacle of a University graduate for politic's sake pleading for the "pruning" of the appropriation will again sadden the hearts of all true lovers of "Old K. U."
CLASSICAL—BUT ENJOYABLE
When the usher has handed you a program and you get settled in your seat at the Pop concert Thursday night, if you will shut, your eyes to everything but the program, you can easily imagine yourself at one of the high priced concerts in the Eastern cities.
The program is of the highest order, but not too classical to be easily understood. Mrs. Herman Olcott who has sung with high class organizations in the East will be one of the promising attractions. Professor Carl Preyer, who has been a favorite ever since he came to the University, will make his first public appearance since his return from California. This alone should bring a large crowd. Professor Downing is well known to all since he has sung to us several times already this year.
A glance at the names of the participants in the concert and appreciation of the variety in the program will be sufficient to convince every student of his need for the pop concert tomorrow night.
Wiedemann's or "Wiede's," known by more than 30,000 K. U. students has changed hands. To think of never seeing the kind-faced old German behind the desk again is disheartening to many a loyal patron of the famous confectionery. For more than two generations, students have feasted and feted in the quaint old-fashioned place and tasted of the sweets that are famed from the Missouri to the Rockies.
WIEDE'S
Older students will retell the story of their escapades, which ended by a treat to the gang. The tales of courtships, started and ended, disastrously or otherwise, will be rehashed by the romanceers in many a hamlet within our state, as the news of the passing of "Wiede's" goes about.
No definite plans have yet been made for a commemoration of the University's first half century of life and the second semester is now well under way. To prepare commemoration exercises that will be worthy of the occasion will require at least several months of careful work and a great deal of planning.
A CELEBRATION
It would seem that if anything is to be done the time is fast drawing near when the plans were made public and work begun upon them. Of course we will not let the opportunity for a semi-centennial anniversary celebration pass by.
The Kansan favors quick action on this matter.
WHO GETS LAUREL WREATH
THO GITS LAUREL WREATH Everlasting gratitude of the faculty, a place in the Hall of Fame and possibly a laurel wreath are some of the things that have been promised any student who can give a good tip on a better enrollment system.
Nearly every student has at least one idea and many have a plan in mind which they feel ought to work. Is it not the duty of these students to share these ideas? It is certain that the task of devising a better system of enrolling is not an unsurpassable one and it seems that with enough good suggestions offered by students the plan might be improved.
There is no reason to believe that the Dean of the College is not in earnest in his desire for information from the student standpoint on a more feasible plan of enrolling.
Seniors who will never again be compelled to endure the tortures of our present system may not feel called upon to offer any panacea but the juniors who are well familiar with conditions would be doing a very good deed for their fellow students as well as for themselves if they would now come forward.
Following the lead of certain Cabinet officials we may expect the President of the Men's Student Council to resign because the University Senate refused to accept his views on the 12 Clock closing rule for dances.
The farmers tell us that the wheat has not been smothered by the sleet as was at first feared. The students who spend their summer sliding up and down pitch-fork handles will be the victims of that death.
Perhaps you've discovered that a stinging comic valentine will help settle an old grudge but if you haven't "broken up" by February 14, it takes a dozenoses.
A certain school in the east has asked students to give up some blood for transfusion purposes. It is some consolation to know that we are not the only ones getting bled.
Former Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge seems to have more than one Bryanesque tendency. He has started a series of platform lectures at Princeton.

Sounding brass and tinkling cymbol,
He that made me sealed my ears,
And the pomp of gorgeous noise,
The whispering, the thundered empty round and past me,
Shattered, lost for evermore,
Ancient gold of pride and passion,
Wrecked like treasure on a shore.
But I saw her cheek and forehead
Change, at as a spoken word,
An opened heart, an open mouth,
Like a lily to the Lord.
Naught is lost, but all transmuted,
"Ears are sealed, yet eyes have seen;
Saw her smiles (O soul, be worthy!)
'Saw her tears (G heart),

Once upon a time a fellow came to college to study. They used to do it in those older days. He did not wear an Arrow claw, nor look like one of them in a clothing company's advertisement, and so he remains unorganized.
Francis Campbell, of LaCygnie, a sophomore Engineer last year, has returned to college.
Finally, he was graduated at the head of his class, still friendless. The most popular of his class-mates was named Fred, a senior who told him good-bye. The forest follow in the class—as the girls said—came to bid him farewell, speaking to him for the first time. (But them, too, were quite wrong and that so was all right.) Well, Jill, we were came to him and said: "So long, old top; look me up some time."

He studied hard. He went nowhere, and no girl spoke to him. They try to get him at all, and they said he was "impossible." They said he had a stand-in with his professors. He did. All good students do. He could talk out of sense, so none of the fair coords were on him. Oh, he was distinctly out of it!
He made many A's. He rarely ever made anything else, but he cared nothing for a grade. He wanted a friend or two. "Well, why didn't he teach me? No, it was easy to do that, when you are hashtful and sensitive? Yes, it is—not! But you do not have to be hashtful and sensitive, if you do not care to be, do you? No, not, no, unless you're there, there's no one to tell you any better.

Once every so often a man at the University of Kansas rises above tide level of professorial ability and becomes known in places far from home. When he is usually loses him. Many times it is simply a question of salary, again he goes where pension foundations prevail, or perhaps to a place of better coordination and cooperation. But whatever the cause, another name is given to him as big men who were "once" at Kansas. Perhaps some day the people of Kansas will be bigger than their legislators of the past and present, and will pay educators according to their education standards. Teaching conditions will prevail; perhaps even other things will transpire until bootiful Kansas, proud of its rank in so many fruitful fields, will not be ashamed to look at its education. Such a day will come. But Carl Becker is at already lost to Kansas.
CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good conduct, and published without the writer's consent.
But is the person who mutilates his desk with the glorious fact that he is a member of Alpha Phalpa, or that he had the honor to be graduated from H. E. S, in 1914, or that he is from Javilley, a college man? From his class, but what he is still obsessed by the juvenile ideas of his primary grades.
Back in the school days period of our existence we never passed judgment upon our new Barlow until we had carved our initials upon the desk and put them in the furniture in the schoolroom. If we were particularly fortunate, we carved another set of initials along with ours, and put a heart about them both. We were all young, and were all young. Some of us are still in the "dear old golden-rule days." We don't hide behind our geographies now when we leave our monuments to posterity on the desks. We are coloured and women and need have no fear.

WANTS FEDERAL MILITIA
Uncle Sam Should Pay Bills, In Opinion of Captain
Jones
"I favor a federalized militia," said Captain Jones when interviews this morning. "I want K. N. G. to be supported by federal instead of by state government. As it is now, the national guards receive a very meagre remuneration from the state. This is not even sufficient to warrant a regular attendance at the drills." Mr. Jones believes that if the militia were paid by the national government, he would at least receive a nominal sum. This would result in a larger and more efficient militia.
At the present time, only the expenses of the summer field training are paid by the national government. The budget for the expenses of the National Guards a constitutional amendment will have to be passed for the present law states that national guards can carry out any military force only in time of foreign invasion.
"Representative Hay, of the military affairs of the House, has proposed a bill *to* this effect and it is meeting with approval," said Captain Jones. "It is what we ought to have. The main difficulty with the present system is that it is not *that* it will continue." "The peeding bill passes all national guards in the states will be trained by regular military officers, which ought to increase the efficiency of the militia."
The student book exchange which was established in the College this year did not blaze a trail for this kind of student benefit in the University, as text books have been supplied to the law students in a similar manner for many years. Uncle Jimmy Green, Dean of the Law School, started, but local book steward system was started, never booked law books. He says this is due to the frequent changes made in the books used.
Each year the faculty of the Law School grants a "book privilege" to two senior laws who might benefit by it. These agents buy direct from the publishers and sell to the law students, being reimbursed for their work by the profits which are made on the sales.
Raymond Rice, of the firm of Means & Rice, attorneys, of Lawrence, has appeared on the Hill once more in the capacity of a professor. He is teaching Prof. W. E. Higgins' classes during his absence on account of sickness. It was Mr. Rice, during the two preceding years, taught Professor Higgins' classes while he was away on leave of absence.
This year D. M. Stiles and C. A. Reed are acting as agents and their place of business is Room 201 Green Hall. Competition from individuals to be handed out for second hand law books to be handled this year for the first time.
BEST TREES TO PLANT
Botanist at K. U. Names Varieties Adapted to Kansas Conditions
"What kind of tree shall I plant this year?"
That is the question many home owners are asking just now. Prof. W. C. Stevens, botanist at the University of Kansas, has selected a few of the most highly grown species which he finds best adapted to Kansas conditions.
"For purposes of tree planting, Kansas may be divided into sections, with a north and south line running through Hutchinson separating them," Professor Stevens said today. "The principal basis of the fallfall is the principal basis of the given condition and only trees suited to the given condition should be planted."
East of Hutchinson there is heavier rainfall than in the western part of the state. For this territory, the shrubs are all around shade树, Professor Steven Tennant tough enough to withstand the Kansas winds, fairly rapid in growth and provides excellent shade. Oaks also are good, especially the red, burr, and the yellow oaks are even better than the red oaks because they are of slower growth. Hard maple is an excellent tree and the hackberry can be cultivated successively. The white or sort maple is too brittle and the golden-green winds. Its branches break too easily. Dangerous to passersby. Elm is a good species but the parasites are unusually bad on it. The other varieties inhabit, with insect enemies of so many species that can be relied upon for Stevens says satisfaction. Professor Stevens says.
"West of Hutchinson the climate is dry and the ground water deeper, requiring a different type of tree," he continued. "The hackberry and green ash which also thrive in eastern Kansas, are dependable trees and have no honey loot. Russian mulberry and honey loot. Russian mulberry though they suffer from slime flux. Care must also be taken to get the staminate or made trees as they do not bear the fruit which makes the ovulate fruit so undesirable. The ovulate fruit is beautiful tree but it is so brittle that it becomes dangerous as a street tree, its branches snapping under the weight of snow or sleet or in a wind storm.
"These trees just named are principally for street shade. For yard and parks Austrian and Scotch pines, red cedar, and Chinese arbor vitae are excellent varieties. Under no conditions should cataplas be planted. They are flat, and are too brittle to withstand rain or climate. Cottonwood may be planted tennessee. Cottonwood growing trees are reaching maturity, but they should be cut down before they crowd the permanent trees."
FIGHT NEW KANSAS PEST
Cotton Rats Attack Crops; K. U.
Hunting Remedy
As a result Kansas farmers have been complaining of the depredations of the rats which have such habits as eating corn in the shock and nibbling sweet potatoes' left in the ground.
A pest which preys on the crops of Southeastern Kansas farmers has been found by the K. U. Biological Survey. It is the "cotton rat," so named because of the great destruction it has for years caused in cotton fields of the south. The investigators working under the direction of Curpentz say that during the past two or three weeks thousands of the little pests have immigrated over the Oklahoma line into Kansas. The newcomers propagate rapidly.
Simultaneously with the arrival of the cotton rats the Biological Survey report showed that auburn marsh hawks, hitherto rare in Kansas, have appeared, and are existing by eating the cotton rats. In spite of the fact that rats continue to increase rapidly.
Now, the University, through its Biological Survey, is undertaking to study methods which will cause the destruction of this new pest. The cotton rats are smaller than the common house rats.
Bernard Morley of the 3135 Pasco, Kansas City, Mo., prefers Kansas to Missouri. He entered M. U. the state where he says he was not satisfied, so he builts a new pasco ashes. He was graduated from the Central high school, Kansas City, last spring. Morely is not a com­ mentor to K. U. people having won the tennis tournaments in last year's annual high school ment. He is also a football player, but according to Missouri valley ruling, which requires one year's Varsity competition will be eligible for Varsity competition until the spring semester next year.

Publishers and advertisers as well as business of advertised articles will be interested in outcome of the test case on the recent issue of advertising law which the county attorney of Harvey county has filed against two dentists who have been advertising in Newton, Kansas, that they would furnish "whale-bone" teeth. They believe that there is no such thing as a "whale-bone tooth" and is basing his prosecution on that ground.
Fake Ad. Law to Court
The fraudulent advertising law which was passed last winter by the legislature has never come before the supreme court for a test, and it is clear that this would have thought that this suit will detain the validity and meaning of the law.
PROFS ARE OVER WORKED
Bond of Sympathy Between Students and Faculty at Last Discovered
Nine hours a day for professors as well as those engaged in manual labor may be the next great movement to be capitated, if returns on the amount of pay the average professor puts in is any less. Ten and a fifth hours a day—that is the average, as compiled from answers to queries sent out to the Professors in various state schools, Lee Harrison, secretary to the board of directors. The only relief that theprofessor can obtain is that the figures are for a basis of five days a week whereas the ordinary laborer toils on Saturday also, and that the plan of not working on Saturday does not hold up the cost. The might otherwise be the case. The bank may check comhit only once a month.
the average professor at K. U., however, works fewer hours than a brother prof at the Agricultural College or at the State Normal.
Even outside of the ten hours a day in actual school work, the professor puts in nearly three hours a week in civic work outside of the institution in which he is employed. The exact figures are 143 hours a year. For the University Professors of law, the average is much higher than hourly wage. Manhattan instruction follows with a yearly total of 172 hours each. Emporia Normal men follow with 146 and after them the Pittsburgh Normal faculty with 110 hours a year. Faculty members of the Hays Normal do the least civic work their average being 108 hours a year.
The figures show that the Normal faculties of Hays, Pittsburg and Emporia average eleven hours a day of class work. The Agricultural College faculty averages ten and four fifths hours a day.
The figures were obtained by sensing out circulars to all members of the various faculties, containing questions to be answered, such as: number of hours a week spent in student organizations, professional reading papers and theses, cherished for the school, work with student organizations, professional reading and extension work. Also there were questions in respect to number hours spent in outside professional training and examination and enrollment and insistly the time spent in preparing the student's pet horror—final quizzes

CORNELL FIRE HITS K. U.
Loss in Laboratories at Ithaca Affects Supply of Chemicals
The fire which destroyed Morse Hall, the chemical laboratory at Cornell University, Sunday, will have a direct effect upon the laboratories at the University of Kansas in the opinion that if Ibaca is estimated at $300,000.
Practically the only article of value that was saved from the burning building was $1000 worth of radium. The building is a total wreck and the student body, with the exception of students in the School of Law of whom chemistry is not required, will be able to work without until laboratories are fitted up. Only the law students escape chemistry at Cornell.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, director of the University laboratories, said, "The loss of the building and supplies at Cornell will be keenly felt at this time when chemicals and equipment are extremely hard to buy. K. U. should further research in the lab. Morrison for it was largely after the model of this building that our Chemistry Building was constructed in 1900."
WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS
When plans for the building here were still in the making, Professor Bailey made a trip to the east to see what the eastern schools had in the way of laboratories. He saw enough at Cornell to recommend Morse Hall and another to attend the course. Professor Bailey also pointed out that, while Cornell will receive a small amount of insurance for its loss, should a similar misfortune befall Kansas, not a tent of insurance would be obtained because of the stand of the state in refusing to insure its own buildings. But the teachers them as the property of corporations which are supposed to be able to stand the loss.

University Professors Differ as to Meaning of Issue Now Before Congress
Wise doctors, often disagree; so do professors at the University of Kansas when it comes to the definition of preparedness. Since Noth Webster failed to see the advent of President Woodrow Wilson and his administrative preparedness campaign, no recourse can be taken by the way of the dictionary. A company of a few of the elected members of the United States allows: a vague word meaning preparedness against war; a useless word when used in the military sense; a word to be left to the military officers, and a word not to be approved of when used in a halfway sense.
L. S. K. Boughly
"It is the American principle, 'Millions for defense but not a cent for tribute,'" was the hurried statement of Dr. Burdick of the Law School when asked for his definition of preparedness. "I absolutely agree with President Wilson in advocating a large navy," he continued. "People are perfectly unconscious of condition which constitutes it. A state I am a great advocate of peace—but it should be had by armament." Dr. Burdick added that he was thoroughly in favor of Persident Wilson's scheme of military preparedness which he interpreted as preparedness against foreign aggression, which will permit foreign states to have in hand policy that can be backed up at any time by an adequate army and navy.
NO DANGER SAYS TEMPLIN
"I believe it perfectly useless to believe because war will be a practical immeasure," said Dean Templin, when quizzed regarding his attitude toward preparedness. He backed his first statement up by adding that he would not use the administration's ability to keep out of the European war. "After the present war foreign powers would be crushed as to render themselves harmless, but," the Dean added, "the country is frightened and ready to stand at the rear of a cannon."
IS FOR PREPAREDNESS
Prof. W. W. Davis, who was made close student of the university, pressing national problems, made the following statement regarding military preparedness. "Personally I believe that the general staff of the regular army are to be trusted to administer wisely and honestly concerning the extent of the increase necessary. I believe that the president should coincide with public opinion and political necessity. In regard to President Wilson's plan for military preparedness," said Professor Davis, "you have nothing definite if his speeches stand for his legislative authority and adequate preparedness and favors strengthening the navy in such a fashion that it will be strong enough to resist that of any power desiring to attack our policies or attempt an invasion of our country. This is the reason that million billion parents indirectly advocate the building of a navy stronger than the navy of any other nation today.
policy. We should continue our plans along more normal lines. As far as settling disputes by the worn out hand of war are concerned, I am a pacifist."
"President Wilson has stated very clearly that he is in favor of a considerable increase in the numbers of the regular army, and that he be given more authority to form citizen reserve army. The staff believes that a reserve army of more than a million should be organized and trained, and also at least 20,000 additional information I have just received from General Leonard Wood, who further stated the Military Committee of the House had taken this resolution under serious consideration and would probably report favorably."
OFF FOR AGGIE GAME
**DYKSTRA GIVES DEFINITION**
"Preparedness means to me," said Prof. C. A. Dykstra, the marshal-in-fact, who was the economic, and all other forces for the purpose of defending ourselves from an enemy or to enforce a national policy or, for some people would say, for the purpose of taking the offensive, think it not enough, or not enough. Professor Dykstra continued, "to jump up and tell all the world, we are preparing for them is not very good
Basketball Five Leaves Tomorrow With Hamilton for Return Game With Aggies
The midday basketball five will leave tomorrow morning with Coach Hamilton for Manhattan where they will play a couple of return games with the Agneta tomorrow which the Agneta returned which went to Missouri last week will take the trip.
It is not with a great deal of hope that Hamilton's men are going to Manhattan. After the two rather disastrous games in Lawrence early in the season there is little chance for the Kansans to win both games from neither team. The other teams will not meet the Valley title to any extent other than to increase the Aggries' hopes in case the Latter should win both battles.
Nebraska took a couple of games from the Aggies last week and by that step they won the Valley title for 1916. The championship of the southern division remains to be decided. Missouri invades Kansas terribly next week and the two games with the Aggies will settle that dispute.
But the Kansan Aggies will find that Cole's aggregation is going at a better pace this week than they were when the Aggies appeared in Robinson gym. Hamilton has tried several combinations since that time and it is interesting to see how he faced Missouri will face the Aggies for the first game tomorrow night. The team has had only one bad night since the new combination has been tried and that was the second night in St. Louis. Every man on the squad seemed to be off that night and the jinx was the ruler. But with the new combination, they should play in, a couple of close games may be looked for.
This will be the last trip of the season for the basketball men. Next week will see the end of the year's work when Missouri comes for a couple of games with the Kansans. The Tigers have the edge on Hammond and could be battles in Columbia look for at least one Kansas victory in Lawrence.
No definite lineup could be announced this early in the week but the same combination will be used. This is Gibbens and Kaunder, forwards; Cole, center; Reber and Nelson, guards.

NUMBER 96.
Senator J. D. Joseph, Representing Legislature, With Board, Visits K. U.
IS FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
J. D. Joseph, a member of the state committee on economy and efficiency created by the last legislature, inspected the University today, in company with the Board of Administration and Chancellor Frank Strong Mr. Joseph is senator from Butler county.
Legislator Likes The Way The Institution Is Operated
"I am pleased with the way in which the University is operated," said Senator Joseph. "We realize that if any change or reform is to be made, we must have a number of the faculty, since they are on the ground all the time. Our purpose is to bring about, if possible, greater co-operation, and a closer relationship between the people who own the institutions, and those who pay the bills.
"Our activities include all branches of the state institutions and administrations--yesterday I visited the treasurer's office in Topeka.
"We are not trying to see if we can get along on less money so much as we are to see if we can't get more for our money, as we now operate.
"Personally, I fought for a larger appropriation for the University last year. I do not believe in curtailing the work of faculty members, I am in favor of eliminating some of the detail work, if any is to be eliminated, and putting more emphasis on fundamentals; I certainly am in favor of expanding the specialized work in any way."
Tomorrow Senator Joseph, accompanied by Dr. Axell of Newton and Dr. Jacob Block of Kansas City will visit Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosedale and make note of the needs of that branch of the University.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 17, 1916.
A fifty per cent increase in salary Drew, C. B. Drake of the department of Romance languages away from the University. At the beginning of this semester Professor Drake accepted a position, as teacher of French and Spanish in the of the St. Lorenzo schools and left at once for his new work.
A salary of $1460 a year with a yearly increase of $100 until the year 1918 is the proposition which Professor Drake accepted with the Missouri school. He was receiving $1000 a year here. He taught both French and Spanish and had been with the University since the fall of 1914.

UNIVERSITY PAY CHECKS
WILL COME EARLIER NOW
Hereafter the pay rolls of the University will close on the 15th of each month, instead of the 17th as has been perviously the case. This change was brought about through the ruling of State Auditor W. E. Davis, of Topeka. The new feature of the University's compensation of the University' employers will now receive their salary check the first of each month.
Registrar George O. Foster thinks the new plan a good one and hopes it will succeed.

ARRANGE FOR PARTY
Committees Meet and Make Plans for Second All-University Affair
Plans of a general nature for the second annual All-University Party, which will be given Saturday evening, February 26 in Robinson Gymnasium were worked out at a meeting of the arrangements and decoration committees yesterday afternoon in the office of Eustace Brown, adviser of women.
At 8:30, immediately following the Fine Arts program, the grand march will occur. Contrary to the usual custom at University social affairs the students and faculty members and the faculty members will be the guests. The receiving line will be composed of the presidents of the different schools, Mrs. Eustace Brown, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, members of the Board of Administration.
The program will start at 7:30 and the first hour of the evening will be turned over to a musical program which is being prepared by the School. The second half will be the faculty of that school as well as students will take part in this feature.
This opportunity will be taken to introduce Dean and Mrs. F. J. Kelly of the School of Education and Dean and Mrs. Harold L. Butter of the School of Education, both faculty and faculty and so they, too, will be included in the receiving line.
The presidents and secretaries of the four classes will compose the floor committee. The duties of this committee will be to direct guests to the different points of interest and to give introductions.
Following the reception and grand march a minuet dance by fifty students will be given. The participants in this feature will be equally divided between the Greek and non-Greek students and as many organizations as possible will participate for the minuet have been held every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium and more practices will be held next week.
The colonial idea of decorations will be worked out, but on a different scheme from the one used last year. The committee in charge of this is working out the details of the plan now. Colonial gardens and old fashions will where pumice will be served will make up part of the decorations.
After the formal affairs the remainder of the evening will be turned over to general entertainment. A session, in which every one, added to take part, will be the feature of the latter part of the evening's program.
“An evening of fun and entertainment for every student in the University, is what I want this party to be,” said Mrs. Brown this morning. “I hope it will be even a greater success than last year's party.”
Mrs. Brown wishes to emphasize that this party is not to be a costume affair. Only the students taking part in the minuet will be in costume.
NEW COMMITTEE AT WORK
Only Three Months Left For Collection of Senior Duds
With the close of the school year a little over three months away the senior memorial committee will again attempt to get into action and try to leave with the University some suitable gift. C. A. Randolph, president of the senior class, appointed Harold A. Mack to take the chairmanship of the committee and complete the collection of the dues of the university on behalf of the class. The vacancy on the committee was made by the withdrawal of J. M. Johnson, at the close of the fall semester.
The memorial committee has collected from the class this year about two hundred dollars. President Randolph says that during the memorial campaign started in the sophomore year twenty-nine dollars was collected. One dollar is being as many of the class members who has been arrived at yet as to what kind of a memorial is to be left by the class.

TRACKMEN SHOW CLASS
Will Make Aggies Show Big Lot of Speed For a
Victory
The Aggies are going to have to show a big lot of speed. Monday night in Manhattan if they take the indoor track meet from the Kansas men. For if Hamilton's tracksters can show the speed they put up around 100, that last hurdle the tryouts Kansas ought to have little trouble in winning.
The main part of the tryouts had been run on Monday and Tuesday. The half mile and two mile were the only events left for the Wednesday program and the results of these were very pleasing to the coaches. In fact, the closeness of the races made the crowd take notice.
Rodkey, as usual, won the half mile tryouts. He ran in great form and made good time in his event. But Fiske, a third year man, was right on Rodkey's heels and gained on the "phenom" on the last lap. His sprint was not started soon enough and Rodkey took the event by a yard. Elliott fought with Fiske all the way, and the hard-to-wait race of the afternoon was between these two men to see who should get second place. Elliott was right on Fiske's heels when he crossed the tane.
Grady, Stateler and Groene put on a classy two mile race. It was not as fast as the same event in the Normal meet but it proved to Hamilton that he had some good two laps of his life before give Teeter the race of his life next week. Groene led the first half of the distance until Stateler took the lead. But, Grady nosed ahead on the last two laps and won by a short margin. Stateler finished a good three laps and was a few yards behind "State."
On account of the ruling that allows only sixteen men to compete in an indoor conference meet, the coaches were unable to announce the lineup for the Aggie affair. Good showings were made in all but the pygmatys but Hollinson has not been able to trim his list down to sixteen yet and for that reason he cannot announce the entries.
Robinson gym is the busiest place on the Hill these afternoons. Football, basketball, track and baseball are played in the gym at the base ball practice is held at 3 and 5 'o'clock, baseball from 1:30 to 3:30 and track practice from 4 to 6 'o'clock. Basketball practice is held at 7 but there is always a bunch of basketball shooting baskets in the afternoon.
If this splendid weather keeps up the gym will not be so crowded. Olcott and McCarty will take their crews out into the open as soon as it is possible. But the traksters will have to say indoors until the Missouri-Kansas meet in Convention Hall.
After numerous reports had reached the K. U. training quarters in regard to Niedorp, Missouri star, the final report comes now that he is in school and will be in good shape for the Missouri-Kansas meet. He was out of school during the first semester and reports had it that he would not return soon but he could not stay away. He had better be in good shape for the Convention Hall meet. A word to the wise should be sufficient.
Quite a few freshmen are getting in shape for the K. C. A. meet Feb. 26. Hamilton has promised to take a number of freshmen to the meet, and some of them unattached in any of the open races. Many of the first year men are using this as an opportunity to get some experience as well as a chance to attend the collection of arts that adorns the K. C. A. % sky that night.
Kansas athletes may not cuss but they sure make a noise when they try to manipulate one of those who have suffered after a hard workout in the gym.
Thursday—Fair tonight and Friday, somewhat cooler tonight.

CIRCULARS INCREASE
CHAPEL, ATTENDANCE
As a result of the distribution of chapel circulars the attendance in chapel increased to over a hundred Tuesday morning and Weekend attendance still will larger increase. The circulars were sent out to find out what the sentiment was among the students regarding chapel service—whether they wanted a service at chapel or whether they would attend, and just what they thought about it. Out of the first 8 returns, 4 were for chapel 5 days out of the week, two were indefinite, 1 was for the first day, 2 was not but is at the present able to. However, the great mass of returns have not yet come in.
BIG PAY FOR MILITIA
Bill in Congress Would Substitute the N. G. for the Continental Army
"Self-supporting men who are enrolled in the University will have a chance to earn a few extra dollars, if the House Prepared Budget, which is now being framed in Congress is passed," said Capt. F. E. Jones of Company M of the Kansas National Guards.
The House Preparedness Bill provides for the taking over of the National Guard by the federal government, and as a result of the change of control the members of the guards will get much higher pay for the drilling that they have heretofore provided. The Drill Corps will about a dollar for each night's drill and the members of higher rank will receive relatively higher pay.
the obvious outcome of this system, which will take the place of a continental arm," explained Captain Jones, "will be the increasing of the militia and the betterment of the army. In effect, the bill will probably be effective July 1. The enlistment into the guards will still be voluntary."
Lieutenant E. M. Briggs, of the University company, thinks that the men who have been almost patriotic enough to join the guards will do so when they are offered pecuniary reimbursement for their time. That is why he feels that army cannot be built on patriotism alone, and, as he puts it, "pay will be the cement in the sand foundation of military organization."
WANTS STUDENT OPINION
A committee to investigate the sentiment regarding a permanent student book exchange was appointed by the university at 11 o'clock. Student Counseling at Fraser, The committee will report at the next meeting when some definite action will be taken in this matter.

GET OFF THE FENCE
It has not been an utter failure. Nor has it been an unqualified suc cess.
That seems to be general consensus of opinion of the students regarding the morning chapel services. The chapel committee knows this, but it wants to know the exact feeling of every student concerning daily devotional exercises.
The average attendance for the morning service has been seventy-four for the first semester of this year. In the main, it is fair to presume that this seventy-four has represented only a very small portion of the student body. Many of this seventy-four are the regular attendants
If the morning chapel service is worth anything at all, it is worth while for more than the comparatively few students that have taken advantage of it. If it has value only for these few, then it should not be classed as a University activity. And, furthermore, if the service reaches only these few, it is safe to suppose that they are not the ones that need such a service.
The chapel committee will find, as others before them have found, that the main body of students will be indifferent to the questionaire. It is even doubtful if half who have received the letters will take the trouble to answer. The cold indifference towards all subjects is the universal criticism that promoters of any idea have to make on the student body.
These facts are just the ones that the chapel committee wants to know, if the great majority of students are indifferent, then they can take steps to change the plan. If a large enough number vote that they are in favor ef the morning chapel plan, then the committee can know that it is filling a vital need.
But the students of the University of Kansas are as intelligent and interested in scholastic things as any other body of students. Let this criticism of indifference receive a death blow on this question.
If you are against the morning chapel, say so.
If you are indifferent, say so.
If you are in favor of it, say so.
If you are in favor of it, say so.
But, for the sake of the committee who has labored so long on this thing.—
SAY SOMETHING.
Looking forward to baseball season we invariably think of those China men.
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT
"Pop" means "popular"—so the Pop Concert given by the Lawrence Choral Union in the Gymnasium tonight will prove popular to the students, for the best musical talent of Lawrence is to perform in this entertainment.
Pop concerts have been successful in Kansas City and other cities of the West. These concerts are for the purpose of popularizing the best in music. No town has a larger proportion of music lovers than Lawrence, and these entertainments should be well attended.
So those who have an appreciation of good music will enjoy it, interpreted by some of the best musical artists of Lawrence, in Robinson Symnasium tonight.
There is more than one way to go down Adams Street on these slushy days. You may slip, slide, walk, or run down; but the easiest way is to fall into a ditch and wash down.
SITE OF A UNIVERSITY
Honour we should and reverence the idealism of those men instrumental in selecting the site of the University of Kansas, for it is a spot that typifies the very things that a university should stand for.
"The site should be a liberal one and a noble one," said Cardinal Newman describing the site of a university. "The University should be approached on all sides by a magnificent park, with fine trees in groups and groves and avenues, with glimpse and views of the fair city. There is rothing surely absurd in the idea, though it would take a round sum to realize it. What has a better claim to the purest and fairest possessions of nature, than the seat of wisdom?"
Yes, the site is a liberal and noble one, thanks to nature and our predecessors, but how about the fine trees, groups and groves and avenues of them?
We, too, might have a campus like Wisconsin, or Stanford, or California, if we would do as they did. What did they do? They went out and made their campus. They dug and they plowed and they planted. Now they have campuses that every student remembers with pride long after he has gone.
We might have such a campus.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith and names will not be published without the writer's consent
Why, if the chapel committee wants a statement of student opinion on the chapel question, does it not give the students the opportunity of saying whether they would attend chapel any more regularly and willingly at some other hour than 8:00?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
I have talked with a great many of the student body and I am firmly convinced that if the old arrangement were reinstituted, by which classes start at eight o'clock and we provide that a large number of the students will attend regularly. It takes a great amount of will power for students to get up voluntarily for a religious service at eight o'clock in the morning—more will power than the majority of the students have, judging from the daily attendance. I attended once this week and counted thirty and five professors. The majority of the students were representatives from some organization which required their attendance. If classes began at eight o'clock students would be impelled to arise earlier, it would not be a case of voluntary action. And that much time would be gained each day, whether students attended chapel or enjoyed the majority of students enjoy a short period of time onenjoys who attend chapel as it is, enjoy it after they get there, but it is the effort of getting there that keeps them away.
AS IT IS WRITTEN
Periodically we hear influential business men complain of the miserable spelling displayed by the high school girls and boys in their employ. Offender than occasionally we find that otherwise capable students in English are put into the suburban schools, where university, because they have failed to unravel the mysteries of English spelling.
But, you ask, why "tion" and "sion"? Again the answer is "the Latin apprehension"; "the Apprehension" comes from the Latin "apprehensus;" "the petition" comes from "petitus". The Latin "conventus" is responsible for "concomprehension" in "comprehension" we can trace to the Latin "comprehensus."
Can't something be done to change the hour?
Are you yourself not often perplexed by the seeming arbitrariness of English words? Has it never bothered you to know why certain jouns end in "tion" and others in "sion" when the pronunciation of their suffixes is identical? Side by side with boy finds "culpable and audible," but rarely does he feel anything but impatience that this should be so.
Senior.
"Ance" in "temperance" "terge" in "consequence," any by what right? By a perfect right, the Latin student answers. English spelling is not as arbitrary as one thinks. A knowledge of Latin and a few general facts may elucidate. Naturally, it must be conceded, there are exceptions to these principles. To be concrete, "ance" is the suffix of (most) English nouns derived from verbs of the first conjugation, whose stem vowel is "a." "Temperance" comes from "temperare," "importance" comes from "importata," while "distance" distinguishes the noun made from the Latin verb "incense," which occurs from "consequi," "innocence" from "insincere." The terrors of "ance" and "encue" are nought to the carefully trained student of Latin.

What Will Check Falling Hair?
Singeing the Ends
Every strand of hair on your head is a tube, an oil duct from the scalp pores. If the ends split and open up, the oil, which is the life of the hair, flows out in excess. The roots die in a few hours and the strands begin to fall.
Closes the split strands and welds together the broken parts. It brings new oil into the roots and besides checking falling hair a SINGE grows new hair, fine and downy at first—but after a week you see you skin hair growing on the single strands of hairs in the scalp. Strands on your coat collar or clings to your clothing, your hair needs a SINGE.

"IN THAT ELDER DAY"
How "Old Round Corner" Started When "Santa Fe" Didn't Mean "Railroad."
"Old Round Corner Drug Store" are the words of the sign which hangs over the entrance of one of the oldest buildings in Lawrence, situated at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets.
Early in 1855 a party of Massachusetts men came west to try their fortunes and settled in Lawrence. Among them was B. W. Woodard, who in the same year put in a stock of drugs in a little one story frame building, typical of all frontier towns, of the settlers who show how the east side of Massachusetts street and near the present location of the Bowersock Theater.
From this little frame building, there was an unobstructed view across the muddy waters of the Kaw to the hills, which at that time were covered with trees, but were later cleared in order to furnish material for the saw mill which civilization brought with it to Lawrence.
REIDSKINS AND TRADERS CAME From beyond these hills used to come the Delaware Indians. These, and the traders and freighters who passed through Lawrence from Westport to Santa Fe, were the best patrons of the little Woodard Drug Store.
As the frontier pushed further west, the business of the store was increased, until it at last became necropolis. The old building was turned into a stock room, and the retail portion of the business was moved into a new place on the west side of the building just south of the Eldridge Hotel.
Here gathered a picturesque mingling of the types that went to the making up of the West of that day. Polished Easterners in search of fortune or adventure or both, Indians, traders and land agency men, soldiers, settlers and laborers, soldiers, military artisans, half-breeds and vagrant Mexicans, all loitered at the old drug store while they awaited the arrival of the stage and mail.
But that spirit of courage and faith which he had retained throughout the years spent in the new country, enabled him to look beyond these evil days and to dream a Lawrence of the law in less than twenty days after Quantum II, Mr. Woodard was again filling prescriptions and conducting business.
There were many reverses for the business man in those early days of Kansas. It was difficult to obtain supplies. Often the settler had little or nothing with which to pay the debts which necessity had forced him to move North and South at war, business became a difficult problem than ever. Then in 1863 came the night of August twenty-first. To every early settler in Lawrence the date of the Quantrell Raid is synonymous with the loss of home, loss of business, or the death of loved ones. Mr. Woodward was not only the first second-of-August, a heap of ashes was all that remained of his property.
THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 21
corrier' was built on Maschuschettas street. About this time Henry Faxon was taken into the firm. Later, because of better railroad facilities, the wholesale department was moved to Kansas City. As the business there grew, a new office was an express agent in Lawrence, became one of the partners and the firm was then known as Woodard, Faxon. Horton Wholesale Co., with headquarters at Kansas City. During this time Mr. Woodward looked after the interest of the Lawrence store; but during his absence the store was manned by Dr. John Moore who was connected with the business for forty years.
Two years later, a substantial, well-built brick building with a "round
OLD STORE CHANGES HANDS
Soon after Mr. Woodard's death,
the store was sold by the heirs to R.
G. Eyth. In September 1915, E. H.
G. H. armor were taken into the
business, and H. G. merely a student at the University,
has now been connected with the store for seven years.
The "Old Round Corner" under the new management, continues to carry on a small wholesale business by supply chain operations. It has a large business in physicians' supplies and prescriptions. It was among one of the first drug stores to take an agency for kodaks, and still does a large business for the Eastman people.
Quality and service is the basis upon which the new management is trying to build up its business. As the customer looks about at the well filled and orderly kept shelves he unconsciously feels that he will receive good quality and excellent service for the money expended.
Constitution of W. A. A. Will State Requirements
TO AWARD "K" TO WOMEN
The constitution of the Women's Athletic Association has been compiled by the executive board of this organization, sent to the printer, and then distributed to each form to each of the members. In this pamphlet are stated the number of points required for the different letters and numerals, and the trophies awarded to be awarded the winners of inter-class and inter-group contests.
The award of merit which the average woman athlete can gain, consists of a large square topped letter of the smaller smallers, K. U. across the middle, M. A. a member takes part, in floor work or in some sport, a maximum, medium or minimum number of points is given to count toward the award of merit; so a woman need not be an athlete with three or four numbers of athletics in order to gain this letter of honor. The points necessary to gain the different class numerals will count in the winning of this letter A. The highest honor, K., can be worn only when the women play in some intercollegiate game.
This organization was started in the early part of last December, when some 250 women signed petitions for a Women's Athletic Association at K. U., an enthusiastic meeting held and this association formed. At this time Miriam Jones was elected president, Joyce Brown, treasurer, while these officials together with Dr. Goetz, Miss Gladys Elliot, and Miss Hazel Pratt were declared the executive board.
The fact that the position of sport director, filled by Miss Pratt, was instituted for the first time, last fall saw an increase in the number shown this year in the different sports. The basketball women have already played several games and have scheduled several more. A swimming meet is being planned for May, when the women will be organized in the next few weeks. Effective and efficient hockey teams, largely composed of upperclass women and coached by Dr. Green, have been played all winter. And even cross-country squads have been in action.
KANSANS HEAR CONCERTS
The faculty of the University of Wisconsin has felt the necessity of warning the students against the interference of Cupid with their studies. A psychology professor has even gone so far as to issue anti-love recipes.
"Although over 200 women have, through their signing of the petitions for an athletic association the right to charter membership, less than 100 have taken out membership tickets. Brown, secretary of the organization: "We are anxious that all women get their tickets so we will know definitely how many will be admitted to the banquet given by the association too. These tickets cost nothing and a minimum fee—an active part in athletics. The only thing required is her loyal support."
10 p.m.
The Graduate Lab will sit at Westminster Hall Friday. evening at eight o'clock for a social evening. According to Olney, president of the Club, there will be entertainment both gastronomica and intellectual.

In most of these concerts he sang fourteen songs though in a number of towns he included a lecture with his program which cut down the number of songs by half. Mrs. Butler, who accompanies her husband with all of his trips, gave readings in most and usually Miss Pearl Emley, pianist, gives two solo numbers.

FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF ENTERPRISE FUNDS MADE
Final appropriations of the student enterprise funds for the year was made at a meeting yesterday of the joint board which controls student activities and the sale of the student enterprise tickets.
The per cent of the proceeds which goes to each of the permanent organizations on the hill is fixed by the articles of agreement drawn up by the board, but each year there is half of one per cent of the funds which examines unappropriated, and has to be divided by action of the board.
The Mandolin Club had one per cent appropriated to it, but because it did not meet the contract it was decided yesterday to forfeit its membership in the half section. This left the club one half member to be distributed. One half of one per cent will go to the Womens' Athletic Association. The remaining one per cent was divided between the Women's Student Government Association and the Men's Student Association and the amount going to the three organizations will be about twenty-five dollars each.

MANY STUDENTS MAKE CHANGES IN COURSES
Records in the office of Registrar G. O. Foster show that not all the students had definitely decided upon transferring to a low when they came here last fall. Thirty-nine students have transferred from one school to another since the beginning of the year. Of this number 60 were at the beginning of last semester.
The large number of transfers to the College would seem to indicate that many have concluded that a general education is desirable before taking more than nine transfers nineteen were to the College, twelve coming from the School of Engineering. Seven students in the School of Fine Arts augmented at the College, while three members of the College decided to study Fine Arts.
The School of Engineering received four new members, three of whom came from the School of Pharmacy and one came from the College. The School of Law got three College students.
Samuel H. Ferguson, of Atchison, who was a sophomore in the College in '14-15, returned Saturday for a short visit. Sam is working in the office of a lumber company in Atchison, but says he will be back among the next fall to try to absorb more knowledge and supporter of his Alma Mater and back regularly to look after her welfare.

Kansas College Advisers Form Conference for Standardization
Lawrence, Kansas February 16.—In order that the deans of women of Kansas College may have a criterion by which to advise and govern the women, Mrs. Eustace H. Brown advisor of Mrs. Brown's organization what will be known as the State Conference of the Deans of Women. This conference will include all the deans of women of the various institutions. Mrs. Brown is planning for a meeting of this body at the University during the early part of April.
"Among the subjects which I wish to bring up," continued Mrs. Brown, "will be the rooming-house problem of house groups, the matter of social and closing hours of social functions and rules governing social organizations. I also want to bring up the subject of creating sentiment among so many so that the rules and regulations will be carried out," she concluded.
"The conference will probably last for several days," said Mrs. Brown, "but I have not yet arranged the whole program. It is necessary," she continued, "that all the deans of the women in the various state institutes work with us to govern government, for we all have practically the same problems to deal with."

University Orchestra Will Present Classical Program
"Decidedly classical" is the phrase Director J. C. McCanles used to characterize the concert of the University Orchestra, which occurs next Thursday, February 24 in Fraser Chapel.
"Haydyn's Surprise Symphony and the selection from the ever popular opera, 'Martha,' are two of the biggest numbers on the program. There will also be duets and solos to feature different instruments."
"Most of the numbers will be of a classical order this time," he said, "and hard enough to give the Orchestra's unity to show what they can do."
This is the annual winter concert of the Orchestra, replacing the regular fall concert which is usually given before Christmas. The Orchestra consists of about 80 whom will be able to participate in the concert. The membership list is in the hands of the eligibility committee now.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
ON VALUE OF LANGUAGES
No, Mr. Lawyer—there is no rest in sight for you! You must take French and German as well as Spanish. Since the statement by Prof. A. L. Owens that law students should take Spanish, other language departments have announced the same thing.
"For a man who is studying law, there is no language which will help him so much as French," said Prof. Peter Applebloom of the French deed school. "In our English terms of law are derived, if not taken as they stand, from the French language. Practically no lawyers who have succeeded and passed on their business have done so without the knowledge of French and German."
"Though there may not be as much practical use in the knowledge of French in this part of the country as in the knowledge of Spanish, the value of it in the deeper study of law can hardly be estimated."
Plans for improvement of the Municipal Water Works at Emporia have been approved and returned to the City Engineer by the Department of Sanitary Engineering. Prof. Haskins who approved the plans, stated that the improvements would amount to more than $150,000.
Mr. Verne Hendry of Kingman has been the guest of C. B. Sykes at the Delta Tau house for several days.
This surely is the age of forgetfulness. When, after a lapse of two weeks, Prof. H. W. Nutt called the roll at the Oread teachers' learning, just about one half of the practice teachers were present.

"College Jeweler" Offers $5.00 Prize for University Student Who Writes Best One
L.S. Beughly
The other night a story in the Kansan told about the success of a man who believed in advertising. His name was—and still is, for that matter—Gustafson and he still believes in the pulling power of advertising that is truthful. Because he hasn't the time and doesn't know all there is about the business, he wins a prize—in the form of five dollars' worth in trade at his store—to the University student who will write the best advertisement for his store.
Being a good sport, Mr. Gustafson is not putting any restrictions on the writer. He doesn't care what department of the store is taken, he doesn't care how large the ad is, he doesn't care what kind of type is needed to sell, he does care for a good, pulling advertisement, and is willing to navi for it.
Professors Merle Thorpe and Leon Flint, of the department of journalism, will pass judgment on the copy submitted and the writer of the ad of their choice will be given a credit slip for $5.00 worth in trade at "Ye Shop of Fine Quality." All copy must be held by the manager of the Daily Kansean before Fabriken. If letters with advertisements are mailed in, "Gustafson Ad Contest" should be written in the lower left-hand corner of the envelope.
"I expect to get copy enough to run me for the rest of the semester out of this," said Mr. Gustafson this morning. "I consider it a good way to get ideas of the students on the things in class, and I want to give them other hand, that five dollars is coming pretty easy for the person who wins. The work will not take more than two hours and I am laying no limitations on subject, display or size. What I want is the copy with the "pull." If I am well and creates interest—which I am sure it will do, will give a few more prizes before school is out."

With the opening of the 1915 K. U. baseball season over two months away, Coach Leon McCarty yesterday afternoon met over twenty-five candidates out for positions on the 1916 nine.
Little attention will be given those out for positions other than battery places, for the first fortress and battery place, for Coach McCarty believing that it is weakness that he will have the greatest trouble in handling. Unlike last season it will not be the pitching situation that will trouble Coach McCarty's department. All of last year's tette of veteran hurriers, Craig, Smee, Foirier, and Moss, are back in school but with both Captain DeKoven and Coach McCarty, it is up to Coach McCarty to get one one to receive their offerings.

Games In Gym Will Clarify Missouri Valley Basketball Situation
The Kansas-Missouri basketball series to be played Monday and Tuesday, February 28 and 29, in Robinson Gymnastium, will probably settle the very muddled question of the 1916 Missouri Valley championship.
The Valley race now lies between Nebraska and the Tigers. Both five have won all their Conference games and are tied for the lead with a percentage of one thousand. The Huskies, Kansas, Kansas Aggies, Ames, and Drake, which Missouri has six wins to its credit over Kansas, Ames, and Washington. The Tiger quintet however will have a great chance to pass the western invasion of Manhattan and Lawerence's games will be played on the trip with the Jayhawkers and Aggies and a quartet of victories will give the Gold and Black the title. However one team of the Kansers' undefeated record and give Nebraskas second Missouri Valley champions this year.
The championship aspect which is given to the Missouri games here is expected to result in the record crowd. The standings of the Valley teams (14) are as follows:
W. L. L. Pct.
Nebraska 8 0 1000
Missouri 8 0 1000
Kansas Aggies 4 2 666
Ames 4 2 375
Kansas 4 8 333
Washington 1 7 133

The Immigrant a Different Person From Common Belief Says Mary Antin
IS NOT A CRIMINAL CLASS
Tells Story of Her Own Life in Slums of Boston
"I hold in my hand the law of this land—the Declaration of Independence. As Rabbi Hiller once said of the essence of Judaism, "What is our law? The law of lowmen. This is the whole law; the rest is commentary," we may say of the fundamental documents of our government. The Declaration is the whole law; the Constitution, the laws or nation are merely commentaries."
With these words Mary Antin began her lecture upon "The They Knock at Our Gates" before an audience that taxed the seating capacity of her classroom, she guard for the essential truths of the Declaration, the death of the idealism which marked the earlier periods of our history, her own rise from the slums of Boston, the true solution for the immigrant problem, and the aims of the National Americanization Composition, her humor, her earnestness, and her simple, oriental style of speech added to the effectiveness of her address.
EQUALITY OF MEN
"The disregard of the fundamental truths of the Declaration of Independence reminds one," said Miss Antin, "of the interpretations placed upon those truths by the slaveholders, who were not all men, but all British subjects who were arrested, the 'self-evident truths', to them, were self-evident lies.
LITTLE CHANGE IN IMMIGRANT
"All men, means all men, everywhere and always. This sentiment, we are told, should be set aside, when economic questions are involved. The law of the equality of all men should be shelved when we consider an item of dollars and cents. Why not shelve them instead? What to steal', when men are starving, if economic considerations are of paramount importance?
"The immigrant is not what he used to be, we are told. Gov. John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay Colony was the first to use that argument. He complained about 'the ragnail of Europe, which we today call the "scum." The Irish were the first to come to the United States and the Germans by the same name. The Germans applied the same title to the Scandanavians. Now we speak of the immigrant from Southern Europe or oppressed Russia as "scum" and say that they are not like the Irish, the Germans, and the Scandanavians, who lived there. One thing one is lead to believe that the only good immigrant is a dead immigrant.
"We judge men by their worst, but God judges them by their best and noblest attributes. Let us bear this truth in the face of injustice in regard to the immigrant. We are told that the immigrant is very criminal, but even these statistics which are cited to condemn him show that the foreign born immigrant commits less crime than the native born American; the foreignborn commits a little more crime than their parents and the second generation commits just as much crime as the native born American, showing that the foreigner has become fully Americanized. This criminality has the foreigner by the ward politician."
OWN LIFE AN EXAMPLE
The rise of her family from Dover street in Boston to Dorchester Heights was graphically and amusingly portrayed. Then the gradual moving away of the older families from Dorchester, because "the neighborhood is now being built" and the truth that in this problem of assimilation "it takes two parties."
"The problem of assimilation involves a mutual relationship. This fact was realized by the National Americanization Committee, whose purposes are set forth in a pamphlet from the United States Institute committee. The fifty-six members of this committee solicit the support of every organization and individual in the work of bringing about a union of many peoples into one nation, with one language, with American interpretation of the American citizen a recognition of foreign-born men and women in the human, social and civic, as well as industrial aspects of our American life. In this work each and every one of you, no matter where you live or what you do, has some use to make a performance. Let remember that God provides for nations, for "He that feareth him and worketh righteousness is acceptable unto Him."

ENGINEERING STUDENTS
FIND PLACES EASILY
If you are ever tempted to doubt that the educated man is going to get ahead in this generation, you should go over to the Engineering Building and see how the big engineering companies are striving for the graduates of the School of Engineering.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 18. 1916.
Prof. G. C. Shaad, head of the electrical engineering department has received letters from a number of the largest electrical companies in the United States, stating their interest in the project and its tentative to get in touch with the year's seniors for positions next year. The most of these will be chosen from the department of electrical engineering, but a few mechanicals will also be interviewed. Positions will probably be offered to the seniors by these companies at the time of their graduation.
Among the men who will be here to look over the seniors are: Ross I. Parker, of the General Electric Co., of Schenectady, N. Y.; J. W. Deitz, of the Western Electric Co., of Chichester; I. Kline of Gas and Electric Co.; and Mr. Beebles of the Westinghouse Electric Co.
Randolph Says Class Representatives Shall Pass on Senior Production
Owing to the uncertainty on the part of Donald Bunett, Manager of the Senior Play, as to the producibility of the play, "Copping the Grapes," by Alton Gumbiner, which won, the prize offered by the Dramatic Club, and in view of the reemphasis of the role members of the Senior Class that the play be produced as the senior play, C. A. Randolph, president of senior class, has appointed the following committee of seniors, who are to examine the play from the point of view of the senior class, and has authorized it to speak for the class as to whether the class wants a play; he is also a committee: John Dykes, Leland Thompson, Helen Jenkins, Guy Waldo, Maureen McKernan, Harlan Hutchings and Alice Coors.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
This action is taken to relieve Burnett of the responsibility in case the play is accepted and should prove a failure or fail to get across, when his personal judgement as to the nature of the play was at the same time to insure the rights of all parties concerned. Burnett has expressed his willingness to have the controversy settled in this way. He says that he will produce the play if the class wants it produced, although he will not accept the responsibility of producing it by presenting the story to success when he is somewhat uncertain in his own mind. He wishes, however, to be entirely fair.
LATIN-AMERICA TO GET
ENGINEERING CATALOG
Latin-America is to be invaded by the School of Engineering! The Engineers' Catalogue is being translated into Spanish for general distribution in South and Central America with the idea of bringing the students of those countries to Kansas to study engineering.
The whole catalogue, including the departments of mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and architectural engineering will be printed in Spanish and sent to South America to advertise the University.
The work is being done under the direction of Associate Professor A. L. Owen of the department of Romance languages and Angel Sevilla, a junior engineer from Dahl, Honduras. The catalogues he prints this spring to be distributed time to advertise for students next fall.
The catalogues will be sent to the United States Consulies and Ambassadors in the various countries and cities where they are located as well as to the graduates of Kansas and other Engineering schools who are located there. The larger and better schools will also be sent to other literatures, from the University.
"There will be some question about the degree granted to the prospective students from the South," said Dean P. F. Walker, "for in those cases Mr. Baker's degree means little more than a fair high school education in this country.
"The question of language requirements is also one that is still under question. The writing and speaking knowledge of the English and at least some elements of some foreign language. It is a problem to acquire all the necessary knowledge of the foreign student, requiring only a year or two of English, and a good general knowledge of Spanish, or to require more English."

Marvinites Will Revel With Song... Eats and Toasts "Thursday Night"
it has been the custom in years past for the Engineers to include their annual banquet in the general festivities of "Engineers' Day." This hardly proved successful, however, because there were always so many people attending each day, so it was decided to hold the banquet at an earlier date.
The Engineers will feast earlier this year than usual.
ENGINEERS TO BANQUET ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
The banquet will hold held at Ecke's on the evening of February 24. About 250 Engineers have signified their intention of being present. The banquet has been one of the big things in the university year for the Enguers, and it was a tradition our students years now, the custom having been established 'way back in the early history of the school by its first Dean, F. O. Marvin.
There will be student speakers faculty speakers, and "Daddy" Haworth and H. A. Rice will tell stories about the Civil engineering School, Dean P. F. Walker will also talk, Prof. C. C. Williams of the civil engineering department will be the toastmaster, students will be announced before the end of the week.
The committee appointed by C. B. Sykes, president of the School of Engineering to make the arrangements for the banquet, consists of Tony James, E. C. Arnold, and Gordon Welch.
ENTERTAIN MARY ANTIN
Special stunts by the electrical engineers, civil engineering stunts by the Civils, and on so down the line, will be features. Every Engineer will bring his song book and harmony will fill the hall.
"The first thing to remember when dealing with celebrities or geniuses is that they are human. Eccentritities of genius are not the result of an abnormal state of brain reactions to extraordinary circumstances. Mary Antin speaking at the Theta Sigma Phi luncheon in her honor.
Theta Sigma Phi Gives Luncheon in Honor of Noted Author
Send the Daily Kansan home
Mary Antin, or Mrs. Amadeus William Grauban, as she is in private life, is a quick, nervous little woman with dark skin and short, curly black hair that bushes around her feet. She is the one around Mary Antin. Her whole attitude is one of emotional tension. She is very slight in build, probably because as she says, "No one who is introspective can ever get fat. Introspective people get thin from searching their own souls. That is why Hamlet must have been thin. He constantly looking within himself."
When Miss Antin understood that it was Miss Margaret Lynn with whom she was sitting she rose to her feet and grasped Ms. Lynn by the shoulders. "Oh," she exclaimed, the blood rushing to her face, "Is this her life?" And I know so much? Oh, I do feel happy now that I cane. I wanted to stay another day in Kansas City, but now I feel that it was worth all to have come here." And when she learned that she was to see Miss Esther Clark later in the day she became greatly enthusiastic once I had no idea that I was to meet two such celebrities in one day.
Those who attended the luncheon for Mary Antin were Virgil Gordon, Lucile Hildinger, Blanche Simons, Kathleen McCoubrie, Marion Lewis, Katherine McNunn, Barbara Gruber, Maureen McKernan, Barbara Bales, Caroline McNutt, Caroline Greer, Miss Margaret Lynn, Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes and Zetha Hammer.
Frank D. Gage, freshman Engineer, left Friday morning for Minn eapolls, where he expects to remain until Monday. He will act as sub-presenter at a dance and motion picture theatre in the absence of the regular man.
"I do not care for reporters," remarked Mary Antin in her perfectly frank way. "Of course I am always courteous to them and simply tell them that I am too tired to talk. I never carry manuscripts of my work because I never write them I believe in talking to people and audiences as I feel it. Then reporters expect me to give them my whole mission in two seconds that later on I will give in an hour. When I am interviewed I want someone to talk to me intelligently upon some subject. I do not like this idea of being pumped. I like to talk to people. I have not had time to write anything, but I am too busy with giving speeches, and must have leisure to think things out."
Four resignations of members of the faculty were accepted at the meeting of the Board of Administration yesterday afternoon. One faculty member was appointed, three fellow- students were awarded and ten degrees granted.
Professor Becker Will Leave In September—Board Grants Degrees and Fellowships
The resignation of Professors C. L. Becker, of the department of history; B. C. Drake and I. L. Lillehei, of the department of Romance languages and Fred R. Hesser, of the department of history, have accepted. Professor Becker's resignation will take effect next September and those of the other men at once. Professor Lillehei resigned to take up work in the University of Chicago and the Board approved the appointment to be a faculty acaney made by Lillehei's resignation.
Professor Drake has accepted a position in a St. Louis high school and Professor Hesser is resigning to enter business in Kansas City.
Hazel Michaels was appointed as fellow in German and DeForest Clearwater Stem School. The fellships were awarded to till canies made by the resignation of Mary Elizabeth Parker and Wm. Justus fellows German and Geology.
Miss Ruth Faris was appointed as librarian in Blake Hall and Miss Sibyl Woodruff was appointed lab-master. The library vacancies made by the reservation of
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was granted to the following students: Fred S. Degen, Minnie Hempel, J. M. Johnson, Elizabeth Lovejoy, N. A. Peck, and Gertrude M. Russell.
The following students were granted the degree of Master of James C. Anderson, A. P. Cummins, A. R. Kellog, and W. H. Carothers.
The board also ruled that the account books of the different student organizations should be audited by the advance students in accounting under the direction of the head of that department.
19-ERS WANT MEMORIAL
Will Collect Ten Cents From Each Member of Class
At a meeting of the freshman memorial committee last night the amount of the memorial dues for each freshman was fixed at ten cents. By making this amount this week, the freshmen will reach practically the entire class.
In order that the business of collecting may be taken care of with the use of only a small amount of time the committee has decided to name two days, probably of next week, for collection days. Alfred Bennett, chairman of the memorial committee, believes this will be sufficient time for reaching each member of the class. He has appointed Dr. Curtis Schultz as Chairman of Engineering and the College and will supply them with a quantity of small rectangular tags that are to serve as receivers.
College: Lucile Hovey, Rose Nworth, Helen Chapman, Helen Nailsmith, Marjorie Castle, Helen Nixon, Margaret Young, Elizabeth Carney, Margaret Fitch, and Ruth Walton, Margaret Olsen, Hugh Hugh Cwik, Cecil Ritter, Hugh Sacher, Tom Pringle, Herbert Jordon, Kenneth Bell, Hershal Washington, William Allen, Harold Sutton, Robert Martin, Warren V. Woody, Eugene Martin, and Clifford Pugh. The list from the School of Engineering is Percy Hurk H., J.-Martin, Peter H., Carl Kerstner Record, Carl Betcher, Kelsey Matthews, Merel Hunt, Alfred Bennett, and Edward Good.
The two days for collection have not been decided on but will probably be announced Monday. The following have been named by the committee to assist with the collections:

WOMEN HAVE ORGANIZED TO
PROMOTE GOOD FELLOWSHIP
The young women students of the University, west of Tennessee and south of Fourteenth street, meet at Knoxville's Kaplan house, in order to elect a chairman for that district. This chairman will meet with the W. S. G. A. once a month. Virginia Lucas was a majority of the thirty women present.
The district organizations have been planned by the W. S. G. A, for the purpose of making the women students of the city better acquaintance with their father and president of the W. S. G. A., said at the meeting last night, "This movement was started by the W. S. G. A. among the girls of the districts, in order to promote a spirit of good citizenship." The districts are in different parts of the city. Any one having a complaint to make regarding room conditions, or failure of either the student or the landlady to carry out the rules of the W. S. G. A. to be able to give all complaints to the W. S. G. A. through the chairman.'
The next meeting will be about the middle of March.
MANY HEAR ARTISTS
Work of Soloists Is Greatly Appreciated by Audience at Pop Concert
A trio of master artists, Mrs. Herriol Olecott, Carl A. Preyer, and William B. Downing, made the third "pop" concert of the Lawrence Choral Union the most successful entertainment the organization has given.
The seating capacity of Robinion Gymnasium was not taxed last night, but the audience was large and appreciative. Mrs. Herman Olott, conjoined with her sister before a Lawrence audience, won a warm place in the hearts of the music lovers. Her songs were well selected and the fine quality of her voice was so compelling that whisperings almost before the applause had ceased after her first song.
The return of Carl A. Preyer was scarcely applauded before he had met they, and after he had slayed the attacker, encore until he returned, when theyettled back in content. He was 'their' Carl Preyer who had resisted them, so they loved to hear him, and probably even better han when he went away.
Professor Downing sang well and well received and the chorus numbers were excellent. To Prof. Arthur kirk was given a credit for the good rook of the chorus.
K. N. G. MAY DEVELOP A
COMPANY OF ENGINEERS
If this change is made, it will mean an increase in the number of enlisted men from sixty-four, the present enlistment, to one hundred and sixty, the addition of one lieutenant to the number of commissioned officers, and an increase of $18,000 in the amount of equipment on hand.
Company "M" of the K. N. G. which, at present, is a company of infantry, may be changed into a corps of engineers. This action may come as a result of agitation by the company or by every branch of the service. Captain Frank Jones of Company M thinks that the proposed change will occur sometime before the close of the present semester in order that the men may be drilled in their new training and summer encampment in August.
The men will be trained in the construction of bridges, the proper laying out of entrenchments, the building of roads, the establishment of supplies of drinking water, and other similar duties.
GRAD SCHOOL HOLDS
ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT
Members of the Graduate School will meet tonight in Robinson Gymnasium at 8 o'clock for the first of a series of social events. Dean and W. B. Blackman and Dr. and Mrs. Stanton Olinger will act as patrons.
Social and folk dancing are on the program and later in the evening there will be a cafeteria luncheon. Each member of the Club will settle his own bill. All graduate students are urged to attend.

THE OWLS TURN RABBIT
"Honorary" Junior Society Prints Paper, But Fails to Circulate It
IT IS A SICKLY SHEET
Contains Nothing of Interest—
Organization Stops Sale
PEANUT JOURNALISM
Although the "Sour Owl," a scurrulous publication issued each year by the Owls, "honorary" junior class society, was printed last night at the office of the Lawrence Gazette, it does not appear on the Hill this morning. It is understood that one of the organizers basked with undue severity was able to bring sufficient pressure to bear to cause suppression.
The issue, now in the possession of Oscar Brownlee, is an excellent example of "peanut journalism." Its attempts at ammonpling are puerile and asinine, and its humor is inane and jarring. The crimes are not the least "lague or spice," but do with graft, and contains nothing but a poorly-worded rechash of the election expose printed recently in the Daily Kansan. The other lead writer's response was the absence of several students, all of whom appeared in other papers previously.
A pseudo-satirical attack on Mrs. Eustache Brown, adviser of women, is poorly phrased, and lacks the punch to get across.
CHANCELLOIR ULTIMATUM HELD
The publication follows, probably with the matim of Chancellor Frank Strong, and omits the salacious and slanderous matter that made its predecessors famous—or rather, infamous. In attestation to this fact, the versity狨es and fallibilities it fails.
Its alleged jokes are ludicrous—not humorous. It is purely an attempt to discredit the ill reputation of former numbers.
Great secrecy surrounded the preparation of copy and the printing. C, S. Hall of the Gazette delivered it last month that a taxicab with an armed guard on the seat beside him. It was to have been sold on the Hill this morning, but the influence of one organization seems to be able to cause a change of plans.
Much of the copy was written by a man who had a senior woman in no way related to him.
NEW RULE SWELLS FUND
fifteen Dollars Netted From Enrollment Fines
Fifteen dollars have been turned into the coffers of Registrar G. O, Foster since the beginning of this semester, as a result of a new ruling made last fall to fine each person who enrolled late, one dollar.
Enrollment has now practically ceased and no more changes from one class to another will be permitted, according to Dean Olin Templin. Enrollment also reports the apal number of early withdrawals from classes.

FOR POLITICAL CLUBS
FOR POLITICAL CLUBS
"Wilson Hat in the Ring."
T, R. May be a Candidate.
"Bryan will oppose Wilson."
These headlines in the daily papers and the general course of events toward the coming elections have aroused the country to a live sense of political responsibility. The unusual conflict and the distinct points at issue both tend to make this the most interesting presidential fight in years.
The students find politics one of the choice topics of conversation at fraternity and boarding house tables and on the street. Organizations similar to those formed three years ago will fill a distinct need among the student body. A Woodrow Wilson Club, or a T. R. club, would be an interesting departure from the ordinary club of the University.
A better understanding of what is going on in the political world and a quickening of interest in such things would certainly result from some such organizations.
Voters are soon to decide whether or not our stomachs are to keep on justing.
OUR U. S. LANGUAGE
It seems that greatness does not come from the speaking of correct English, as some qf the instructors of the department of English appear to think. Why, even the great and noted framers of the Constitution of the United States made mistakes in grammar. Take the preamble of the Constitution, for instance. Does it not say "in order to form a more perfect union"? Our grammars and our honorable instructors tell us that if a thing is "perfect" it cannot be "more perfect."
Cheer up, and remember that even a man who split rails as well as infinitives became president of the United States!
So you see that there is some chance of greatness for even those who blurt out, now and then: "Has went," "has came," "ain't done," "has got," "ain't got no," "ain't up," and many other such "opposed-to-grammatical" expressions.
THE OLD ORDER
Sing the dirge of an old tradition! The happy days of the laws are over. It is simply another case of human work and energy being replaced by the machinery of modern progress. To run in competition is impossible. The old must give way before the new.
Of course the weather flags did not know that they were usurping the time honored position of the students of law. In the old days, before the University of Kansas was honored with government weather flags, the men of the School of Law took upon themselves the task of informing the students of the University as to the
condition of the weather.
If it was warm and spring-like the laws gathered in solid phalanx on the steps; if it was snowy or rainy and cold, not a Law was visible. The old timers of Mt. Orde could even tell the direction of the wind from the eyes of the human weather vanes.
But times have changed. Government flags now wave gaily from the towers of Fraser Hall. From force of habit of the Laws still gather on the steps, but not with the same old spirit. The freshmen, unversed in legal expressions, probably do not even know of the old tradition. They crane their necks and strain their eyes in an attempt to see if it is still stormy or if the weather is bright and fair.
But a few old timers involuntarily gaze over at the Law steps. The Law men are still doggedly interpreting the weather for those who hate to see the old order change.
CAMPUS OPINION
THE GIRLS AT THE CLUB SAID
IT WAS ROTTEN
To The Daily Kansan:
A shining example of our Kansas provincialism was exhibited yesterday at a French lecture given by a distinguished French woman, Madame Gudreau. She is a French beauty, rare in Kansas, of the spoken voice, melodious and fine and firm, would have found pleasure enough had they been unable to understand her pronunciation, but she was speaking. A large audience was still in the chapel, even at the end of the lecture, an audience, the large part of which may not have undergone any good taste to appreciate the sincerity and refinement of a cultivated woman.
As I listened to the life-story of one of the noblest women our sordid world has ever known, Joan of Arc one of the bravest, gentiest, gentlest characters of history, I wondered how much of the young woman of Kafka plies, the ones I speak of are in the minority, but it is a very conspicuous minority. For instance, there was one flaming vision in scarlet with a large window draped draped none too inconsiderately over the front of a room; however, was an example of poor taste and not of bad manners, for the person in question was to be seen rather than to be heard. Behind me, however, a young lady audibly announced that she would study her lesson. The information seemed to interest a number of her neighbors.
INEXCUSABLE RUDENESS
At four different times during the lecture a pause was made during which those who did not wish to stay were at liberty to go, yet throughout the first half hour and more, there was a constant recessional through the midst of some of the finest portions of the course when for instance, Joan had sensed the mission imparted to her and was imploring the divine messenger to find some one to send more worthy. As if there could have been in history another woman so pure and womanly except that mother from similar peasant stock of Him whom the most respectful professor to worship whose one insistent principle, of all others, was that consideration for people.
This incident brings to my mind other thoughts which have been gathering there since my return to my Alma Mater from several years of education. I believe a good half dozen of the men and women of the East, I believe as a native and citizen of this state of Kansas which I have good reason to respect, I may have the right to say a few things about tendencies and actions which I here are opposed to the best interests of the University and of the State.
To begin with, probably nineteenth of the men and women at our campus are the earnest, good-natured, cohesive, compassionate Kansans who give to class-room work in this institution a genuine heartiness and enjoyment that as an in-person student have accepted as more than a return for opportunities of other sorts which I gave up in the East when I returned to my own state. The heart and core of this University, like the heart and core of the State, is sound and clean.
LEARN GOOD MANNERS FROM BEASTS
There is one one-tenth of this student body, which changes largely from year to year so that few of them graduate and by virtue of loud talking, loud dressing, vulgar manners, give our institution a bad name among the citizens of our state, and I do not wonder. The people who constitute this more than conspicuous one-tenth come in part from the small towns and not from the farms where men and women work; they are beasts than they do in towns from human beings. They are people who having some money to spend for the supposed purpose of an education regard the University as some sort of winter resort where one may cultivate the social graces, learn to hold a teacup, and return to the paternal village with sufficient foreign language to travel abroad. You can also or two seasons at our prairie Saratoga are sufficient to equip the moderately ingenuous individual with a Greek letter pin and sufficient material for conversation to last theurefresh life, the preface in all assembles when "When I was at K. U. ..."
The same amount of money spent in a four years' course might result in a large number of a fortune, or the same sum were spent in an entrepreneur man or woman's school, the Kansas Beau Brummels and Lady Mary might return home with a chastened heart, her hardships nor millinery constitute the insignia of citizenship.
CHARGE PARTLY TO PARENTAL FAILURE What can the University do? No, they cannot. In fact, just this is the University's business. Yet, here lies the very danger which menaces us, a danger that should concern every citizen of the University and should be the student of the University. What we have here of social sham, of vapidity, of absurdity, exists because such things exist in the state; only we there are unaware of them. Body the most brilliant, examples of parental failure, for foolish parents are not usually astonished with offspring unlike themselves. But the people of the State who judge us by their brass, do not know our real character.
In the Holyoke College, Smith College, Wellesley College, the women attend classes in plain, inconspicuous clothing, often in some sort of blouse, dresses, skirts or sketches in flat-heeled shoes, climb the Hoods and walk the Berkshire hills. True, I presume it is, that the material in these inconspicuous costumes may not be of the cheapest quality; I am not a critic of the details, but of the encreable. But men attending class attired in all her men attending class attired in a chopping-trip in Kansas City, or an exnurgated edition of Vanity Fair, is uncommon and would arouse as to see one of their number being steered by one all obey by one of our Kansas Lawncolts. It seems to me remarkable that some of our Kansas girls do not develop curvature of the face in the way they are shoved by one elbow over mud paddles and up stairways.
No wonder Coach Olcott told the men of the University what he did at the rally before the Nebraska game and at the football smoker. A few years back in the history of this school one member of our aforesaid Tittle approached in the fall the editor of the Annual. He wanted to know if the Jaybawker would use the usual custom of printing the pictures of "cases." The editor in all gravity assured him that the Jaybawker would not omit that essential feature of a typical Annual. Quite industriously the inquisitor set about to scare himself up a "case." He succeeded. But strange to say, he was on panel snap-shots appeared, he and hisaphne were not among those present.
ACQUIRE THE KLAXON MANNER
In Leland Stanford I am told that the men may wear corduroys and flannel. In the University of Oregon manages to turn out a class of honest-to-god men once a year. I am not praising the Eastern man's college to the unfair disadvantage of the schools of Oregon, but am still speaking in the University of Kansas of the Klaxon-mannerted tenth.
I shall have other remarks to make later in print, if I escape tarring and feathering for these, for nothing is so clarifying to the eyes of the average bombastic, pharisaic, self-sufficient Kansas as a few years in the East of Kansas. You will be sufficient today to the evil thief of. I thank you one and all for your courteous attention, for I have to study my Spanish. I simn myself
I was diverted with none so much as that of the rope dancers who performed upon a slender white foot, and discussed about two feet, and twelve inclusive on this ground. This diversion is practised only by those persons who are candidates for great employment and high favour at court. They are trained from their youth, and are not always of noble birth or liberal education.
In the Eastern men's schools, whatever may be said by moralists of their customs, they print at least no "cases" that might warrant picture prints, of are prohibited in Kansas. Nor is it on record that any man there would be apt to base his judgment of a serious lecture on him down At The Club Said It Was Rotten.

he Kansas City Star claims the neet for the Aggies 44 to 41. He then gives the relay to Kansas claim that too? It counts live points.
It is very interesting to read the opponent's account of the Kansas track team. It gives one the impression that some Kansas dope has taken wings to Manhattan. Or possibly it was related by some one the Kansas. Coaches Hamilton and Patterson will doubtless look in conditions around Kansas. Possibly we 'ave a track team after all.
Missouri will look with a great deal of interest on the results of the Kansas-Aggie meet Monday night. This will be a good time to see what Kansas has in indoor track for it will take every effort of the Kansasans to win the necessary forty-two points before Kane is from tomorrow will be Schulte's only other time to size up the Kansas men. His watch will be mighty busy that night in every race in which a Kansas is entered.
Baseball and football practice received a slight backset yesterday because of the seats being down on the main floor of the gym for the pop concert. Sprinters and hurdlers also got a day of rest. But what they lose one day will be made up the next and the rest of the week will be done doing something besides loafing—and arguing the efficiency and legibility of the U. S. constitution and the present system of government.
Kansas seems to be doomed to a four game loss to the Aggies this year. Three victories have been hard for the team, but may be strung up tonight. The basketball men, however, are going to do their best to down Menner's crew then will support the Cavaliers' latter's invasion on Monday night.
Each Aggie game played seems to give a greater margin to the Merner machine. But it is some machine and one worthy of the Valley title. Van Ghents' Missouri will play with the Merner machine and the Tiger championship hopes will dwindle in a hurry next week.
Jet Parker, '17 College, did not enroll for the second semester's work on account of trouble with his eyes. However, he hopes to be able to return to K. U. next fall. For the present he is working in Scheffer's Drug Store, at Bonner Springs, his home town.

The preliminary basketball games between the two teams of freshmen and two teams of sophomore women, are scheduled for Saturday at two o'clock. The middy dance given by the Y. W. C. A. will follow. This will give the dancers a chance to see the women athletes in action.
Freshmen Teams to Compete With Sophomores Saturday Afternoon in Gym
The games tomorrow will be swift ones. All the players are in good trim and after three months of good coaching and faithful practice they should be able to demonstrate how well they have learned, fact that much stress has been placed on preliminary work, on becoming properly acquainted with short, quick passes, darting runs and with a quick aim that invariably introduces players largely accounts for the quick team work which the players use.
GAME WILL BE INTERESTING
GAME WILL BE INTERESTING
"The freshmen are going to make the team," the coach says. "If they get tomorrow," commented Coach Hazel Pratt, "and the games will certainly be interesting. All women are invited to attend. Since the games start before school, they start the ranks of athletic enthusiasts should be greatly increased by the milddy-dancers. Every woman should be out tomorrow to support her."
The two games will be played both at the same time on the width of the basketball floor. The two whistleblowers, Miss Elliott and Miss Pratt, will interchange positions at the end of the first half each official referrer will be divided in halves according to the University standard, with the centers running all over the field. This tends to quicken the game by eliminating the line fools made when the court is divided in three sections. The two long marks impulsive too should stick over one of the two long white marks imprisoning her on both sides, she is given full range all over the field, although she cannot try-for baskets. The territory of the forwards and guards is more increased, and far more open and effective team work can be used.
The date for the final game between the winners of these preliminaries, be placed in the backdrop before the banquet given by the Women's Athletic Association.
SIX STUDENTS COMPLETE COURSE LAST SEMESTER
Six students have been recommended to the Board of Administration by the Faculty of the College of Engineering. These students completed their course at the end of the last semester and their recommendations for degrees will be passed upon at the meeting of the Board this afternoon.
The following students were recommended for degrees: Fred S. Degen, Minnie Himpel, John M. Johnson, Elizabeth B. Lovejoy, Newton A. Peck, and Gertrude M. Russell.
Bulletins five and six of the School of Engineering which were compiled and approved last fall by the Faculty, have been sent out to the various mining and sanitary engineers over the state.
Bulletin No. 5 has to do with the ground waters of the state, and was compiled by C. A. Haskins, State Sanitary Officer and Pro-Designer for the University Engineering Institute, the University, and C. C. Young of the department of water analysis.
Engineers Publish Bulletins
A Bureau of Public School Service, to be maintained by the School of Education was provided for at the Board of Administration yesterday.
The bureau will be composed of members of the faculty of the School of Education and will be for the purpose of systematizing the efforts of the school to meet the demands of school people over the state for help in their administrative and instruction problems. Also it will furnish a medium through which it can influence other schools one city or county may be made available to every other city or county.
Bulletin N. 6 deals with the coal, gas and oil fuels of the state, and is compiled by Dean P. F. Walker, Mr. Chungstele and Mr. C. M. Young.
The bureau was created at the suggestion of Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education and the plans of the college, but the members will be selected in a short time and the bureau will then begin its work. Dean Kelly has some definite idea for investigations which would be 'before the end of the school year'.

WILD DUCKS DYING BY
THOUSANDS IN KANSAS
After the nickle go where everyone
freshments—to Wiedemann—Ady
"Wild ducks are dying by the thousands in western Kansas," says W. C. Tegmeier, state fish and game warrier, who brought some dead specimens to the laboratory for analysis on a day to see if the cause of this seeming epidemic can be ascertained.
Mr. Tegmeier estimates there are two million ducks lying dead on the plains; they are piled up two and a half thick that one can hardly step. "This strange and unusual occurrence is almost without precedence," he says. "The ducks under no visible provocative display appear sick and put their head under their wing and die standing up, frozen stiff. It is obvious that they are not hungry, because when proper food is available to hasten their unconventional death."
Mr. Tegmeier suggested that perhaps this wholesale dying of wild ducks is caused by the alkali water which they have to drink. As an experiment, some of the ducks which were affected were fed milk and others were fed a tank of pure water, the result that they became better and flew away.
Mr. B. J. Clawson, assistant professor of bacteriology, says that the department has made a post mortem examination and culture, and has found that bacteria are present in the spleen, heart blood, and subcutaneous tissues. The organisms are sterile. These organisms have not been identified yet, and accordingly he was unable to ascertain whether or not they are the cause of the epidemic.
Specimens of these ducks have been sent to Washington, D. C., by Mr. Teggerman, but the transportation was that he brought other specimens here.

K. U. LOSES ROUGH GAME
Suffers Third Basketball Defeat at Hands of the Kansas Aggies
Manhattan, Kansas, February 18. The Jayhawkers received their third defeat of the season this year from the Kansas Aggies when the latter took the long end of a 38 to 23 score here tonight. The game was rough throughout and frequent from the crowd from the crowd during the game. The roughness had a bad effect on the teamwork of both sides.
The first part of the game started out close but toward the last of the first half the Aggies started to leave the Hawkers in the rear and the Jackson in the second half was closer as far as score was concerned but the Jay-hawkers did not have a chance to win. Adams, the forward who starred on the Lawrence court, was out of form and failed to play his usual star game. But our team scored goals from the field. This Aggie has been playing in good form all season but his performance tonight was unusual.
Kauder was the bright light for the Kansas men. He capped five field goals and two free throws during the game while Kennedy was a close second with four goals. Gibbens was off form and failed to get a basket in the few moments in which he was in the game.
This game makes things look cheery for the Missouri series next week and unless something happens the Merner men are going to make Van Ghene's championship hopes look rather sick. Some practice will be required by the Aggies to overcome their erratic goal shooting.

Women teachers in colleges and universities number 52, teachers of music 61 and in other teaching positions. Also, those who are in high schools, there are 481.
Educators of various kinds come in for a close third among the men, there being 409 in all. Of these being 185 in college, 101 superintendents and principals of schools, 121 teachers in secondary schools and ten music teachers. Fourth place is occupied by the doctors, who with their 345 students form the largest group can boast of 295. The list of those can boast of 295. The list of those occupations follows:

Dean Crumbine Arranges Two Months' Course for Medical Training School
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Dean and Professor of Preventive Medicine in the School of Medicine at Rosedale, chairman of the State Board of Health, the chairperson of the University establishing the training school for municipal nurses in Topeka, has arranged an interesting course of lectures on preventive medicine over the months of February and March.
Dr. Crumbine has endeavored to co-operate with the University pro-
grams offered by it for the two coming months will be in charge of the following professors;
Feb. 28—Dr. James Naimish, "Exercises and Rest in Disease," The
Journal of the American Medical Association, "The

This course of lectures was started in November and will continue throughout the spring term. The lectures are held in the capital building under the supervision of the State Board of Health.
Every woman graduate from the University of Kansas must be able to swim. A student may do perfect womens swimming and take care of herself in the water, she is not prepared for life in the eyes of the University and her diploma will be held up until she demonstrates that she can swim across the pool in Robinson gymnasium.
"The value of this requirement is apparent," said Dr. Alice Goetz, director of physical education for women. "Few women who come to the University have had an opportunity to learn to swim and as everyone realizes that it is important to be able to swim the water is the opportunity to learn this valuable art. Women students like it very much. They are glad of the opportunity to learn to swim, and the diploma rule seldom has to be invoked."

Prof. U. G. Mitchell Says Present Plan is Best—Desires Student Opinion
OLD PLAN WAS FAILURE
"I am personally not in favor of changing the chapel hour from what it is now," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the chapel committee when asked his opinion concerning changing the chapel hour back to ten o'clock and beginning classes at the school; with ten o'clock chapel for ten years not to want to try it again. At first ten o'clock chapel was a success, then attendance began to fall off until at last we had no one.
Dean Templem Has Hopes for Success of Present Hour
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 21, 1916
"After that failed, as a last resource, we started the eight o'clock chapel hour. To me it seems the only plausible hour," continued Mr. Warner. "Some faculty favor putting chapel at 4:30, but I do not think we would have a larger attendance at that hour than we have at 8:00. Of course it requires a little energy and backbone to get up to chapel at 8:00. Sometimes excuse for not attending at any hour we could surprise.
"Chapel was then held only two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, and instead of its being a purely religious service, it was a university meeting with only a religious opening, followed by a speech from some lecturer whom we had induced to come. But the success of this did not happen for long time, for students attended at the last, that out of respect for a man we could not ask him to come to make an address.
MAY EXPRESS OPINION
"The teacher had to get student opinion on the subject of chapel said nothing about a change of hour, because we really had not thought seriously of making any change. We wanted student opinion on the matter as it stands now. When we need to make a change of hour, or have any remarks at all that they desire to make, I wish they would make them either on this card or in some form of a communication to us. There are few students here now who were here when the school opened, and the present generation would attend at that hour. I would like to hear expressions upon the subject, but we faculty men who have had experience with chapel all these years are very pleased to change the hour from where it now stands."
BELIEVES IN PRESENT PLAN
In spite of the small attendance at morning prayer service, Dean Tempel taught him. It takes he, he thinks, for a new institution like the daily chapel service, which was started here only last year, to gain a foothold in the life of the average student.
"Although neither the students nor the faculty are at present giving the morning prayers the attention they deserve," said the dean, thinking that he would like to give the service in time. These services are comparatively new here and have not yet had time to win a place in University activities. In other universities that I have visited, such services are much better at attracting students than not be discouraged because a majority of students fail to come. Regardless of this fact, however, I believe there is a place for morning prayers in the religious life of the student who does care to attend. We are going to some open music and in getting out of town speakers and we feel that we deserve some support from the students."
Greeks Will Smoke
One junior on the Hill holds the unusual opinion for a student that one should avail oneself of every opportunity for gaining information and knowledge, even when no disagreeable consequence has been expected to occur. "Do not say, 'What good will it do me?' say, 'What harm will it do me?'' is his advice.

in an effort to get its members together and form a better acquaintance among them, the Graduate Club held an informal mixer Friday evening in Robinson Gymnasium. The group was running in the place of meeting, only about thirty were present, but these lost their dignity in the games that followed. Miss Gladys Elliott gave several folk dances, after which seven of her friends served refreshed sandwiches, pickles, coffee ice cream and cake.
The return of spring has been accomplished by a complaint from some of the Engineering faculty that their classes are bothered by the excessive practice of the art of campury down by Potter's lake.
A business meeting was held at which the graduates voted to continue the practice of combining the general meeting with an informal party. A committee on arrangement sponsored Gladiios Elliott, Andrew Gransted and Anna Baker. The next meeting will be held sometime in March.

Edmund C. Burke, a junior in the School of Engineering, from Lawrence, gave some numbers at the junior smoker with a unique musical instrument Wednesday evening. He calls his invention a loonylin. It is a simple contrivance made with the handle of a worn out broom and wire string. A cigar tool is used to hold the wick of the wire to obtain the pitch and also to serve as a sounding box. A bow similar to that used for a violin produces a wierd but musical tone when in the hands of an artist like Burke.
At 4:30 Thursday, an ice jam formed at the foot of the peers of the bridge above the Bowersock dam. For swilhe it looked dangerous for people to walk on it, which were erected recently. The ice shut off the water from the spillway of the power plant, but not for long as the pressure of the ice and water from up the river soon broke up the jam and it through the peers of the bridge.

TO MEET WEDNESDAY
Journalists Will Organize Day Earlier on Account of Greek Smoker
On account of the Pan-Hellenic smoker, which is scheduled for next Thursday night and which might prevent many of the wearers of the corduroys from attending, the members of the department of journalism have decided to meet Wednesday evening, Feb. 23, to organize the department, instead of Thursday, Feb. 24, viously announced. The gathering will be the journalism building. Operations will begin at 8 o'clock sharp.
As the time for action draws near, interest in the affair is increasing. It becomes increasingly tectically every man and woman in the department has expressed himself or herself as being strong for the idea. All indications point to a peppy meet.
The details relative to the when and
now of the election of officers will be

All-University Party to Have Colonial Mansion Atmosphere
GYM WILL BE A GARDEN
A Colonial garden—that is what you will step into when you attend the All-University party. Soft, amber colored lights will remove the bare, everyday appearance of the gymnasium, and trolled lattices, with a colorful national courtyard that completely change the track and the basketball courts.
The seats around the floor will be kept in the same places as when used for basketball games, but the ugliness of the bare platform will be hidden by a low lattice work. At one end of the floor punch will be placed on the floor by young girls in colonial costume. You will enter the room through a kind of colonial arch.
The running track will be kept open for spectators and there will be the seats around the floor for those who do not care to dance. Before dancing goes there will be a reception for the students. At 7:30the Fine Arts students will give a program on the first floor of the gymnasium.
"We want everyone in the University to come to this party," said Mrs. Eustace Brown. "Last year the University women came without dates if they did not have them and the University men did that, so please that. We do it this year. It is not quite to be expected that everyone in the University will have dates for it. This party is for the whole University, and I want the men and women of the University to come just as they would to a basketball game. No one except those in the Minuet wrestling costume party. And people do not necessarily have to dress in evening costume."
All the work of the party is being done by students. The designs for the programs for the feature being prepared by the Fine Arts students and acuity were made by Don Davis and Robert Mason. The design for the dance programs has been submitted by Mary Stryker.
GOT YOUR PROM DATE YET?
Reporters Take Holiday
Better Get Busy, For Ticket Sale Is Booming
The farce has been done away with this year and dancing will start at eight o'clock. The big feature of the party will be the cabaret performance which will entertain the guests during dinner. Managers Foster and Friend saw acts in Kansas City before they arrived and are satisfied that they will please.
Have you made that date for the business? If not, you had better get busy.
The effort made by the managers to get the junior women to pay up their dues has met with decided success and this will help to make the Prom one in the history of the event. Norman Foster has charge of the decorating.

Summer Session Gets 20 Per Cent Increase Over Last
$25,000 APPROPRIATED
A twenty per cent increase in the budget for the summer school was approved by the Board of Administration yesterday. An approximate appropriation of £25,000 for salaries was agreed to by the Board. This is about $5,000 more than was allowed last year.
Year
The increase was voted for the purpose of extending the scope of the summer session so as to reach more people. Courses will be offered in all departments of the School of Engineering, which there will be provided for. Seventy-one instructors will teach during the first six weeks and fifteen more will be added to the faculty during the last four weeks.
In addition to the salaries voted for the instructors an appropriation was allowed for the purpose of bringing five experts in the problems of school administration here for the summer session.
Wm. T. Bawden, of Washington, D. C. a specialist with the National Bureau of Education; Lewis W. Rapee, of the State College of Pennsylvania, an author of recent text books on school administration; James M. Gwin, of New Orleans, well known for his systems of rating and promoting teachers; Geo. Mulcher, director of the schools of research in the public schools of Kansas City; Supt. H. M. Wilson, author of a forthcoming book on socializing elementary school curriculum will make up the quintet of experts brought here by the School of Education.
"An effort will be made in the summer session this year to reach a greater number of people by means of the increase in courses did. J. Kelly of the School of Education. "A number of new courses are to be offered which have never been given before and particular opportunities remain for the School of Engineering because of the courses offered in every department of that school."
BACK TO CHILDHOOD DAYS
Home Economics Club Leave Dignity Behind—Kids Again
"At eight o'clock right on the dot, come all dressed up as a little toot, to room number two in Fraser Hall, there'll be fun and frolic for one and all." So read the invitation, to which about thirty members of the Home Economics Club responded Saturday evening.
Their friends would scarcely have recognized them, for short skirts, long curls and even pig-tails were out the rage. Even the instructors forged their own styles of being and decked themselves out in the attire of their childhood days.
They played "Drop the Handkerchief!" they had a "peanut hunt;" they sang kid songs; all together, they had a frolicking good time.
When they weared of games, they had refreshments of ice cream served in little cases and wafers in little boxes, all decorated with little flags, not to mention all day suckers so sticky and sweet.
Then, since the hour had come when children should be sound asleep, the party broke up, and the members rejoiced. I should make believe to that of real grown-ups.
An assortment of thirty-four authentic samples of drugs have just been received by Fort. C.M. (M.D.) the chemist of the Pharmacy they came from the department of agriculture and will be used for the purposes of identifying and comparing the qualities of the drugs in the pharmaceutical laboratories.

These samples are of rather rare value Professor Sterling says, as they are absolutely pure and untainted from plants pounded from plants raised by the experts of the department of agriculture on the government farms, where it is pure from the impure drugs by the simple process of comparison.

SECOND MIDDY DANCE
OF YEAR A SUCCESS
About one hundred and fifty girls attended the middy dance given by the W. S. G. A. Saturday afternoon in Robinson Gymnastium. Basket ball preliminaries were held before the dance began. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. The practice of giving middy dances was begun last year, for the purpose of bringing the girls together for better acquaintance and a fun experience. No boys are allowed. This is the second time a middy dance has been given this year.
H. S. TOURNEY ON OREAD
Basket Tossers From Kansas Schools Will Compete at
K. U.
The ninth annual interscholastic basketball tournament, open to all Kansas high schools, will be held in the Robinson Gymnasium, Friday and Saturday, March 17 and 18, in connection with the annual conference of superintendents and principalship organizations of the Kansas state high schools athletic association, will be held at the same time.
The elimination of contestants will be conducted by congressional districts, and the eight winning teams play off the championship series.
Last year forty-five teams actually competed in the tournament, twenty-nine boys' and sixteen girls', representing high school all-around. $929 gate fees was divided among the contestants to be used toward defraying their expenses while at the meet. This year with greatly increased interest from sponsors, the attendance should be much larger with correspondingly larger receipts.
Entries to the meet are invited from all Kansas high schools which maintain *only boys*’ or *girls*’ basketball, either cup or girls’ engraved, will be presented to the winners in the boys' and girls' championships, and in the athletic association championships. The cup runners compete in all three championships.
The program has been changed this year to the extent that the girl's games will possibly be played separate from the boys, and will probably be played in the Lawrence high school gymnasium with spectators limited to women, or women with escorts, or by invitation.
The plan of last year of 10 minute halves without intermission for girls' games will be followed this year in the preliminary games. The semi-finals will be played with 15-minute-halves with the remainder of the finals will be played with 20 minute halves with 10-minute intermissions.
Longer periods for the preliminary games are considered as too much of a strain on the winning team, so they need to play five games in two days.
So large has the tournament grown that the committee can no longer promise free entertainment to the contestants, but they are doing all they can to obtain as much entertainment as possible.
STATE SHOULD OPERATE
MOVIES, SAYS McKEEVER
That the state of Kansas should own and control the "movies" and that by so doing a million dollars in school funds was the substance of a plan advanced by Prof. W. A. McKeever, head of the department of Child Welfare, last night at a joint session of the Y. M. and Y. W. in Hershey.
"The state of Kansas should take over the motion picture business just as it has the publication of text books," said Professor McKeever. The motion pictures today are our greatest asset, and if it is the hands of commercialists, were not in the hands of educators were it belongs.
"Our state censorship has done a most courageous and commendable work, but it is placed by law at the center of our system, five per cent of the films shown in Kansas today are cheap and mediocre productions and about half of them are depictions of some harsh realities and other form of moral despair."
"A state board of educators who had full control and management of motion pictures could, at present prices, clear a million dollars annually for the school fund and thus raise a much needed revenue.
The young women of the W. Y. C. A. will hold their meeting Tuesday afternoon in spite of the fact that Tuesday is a holiday and Tuesdays firefires affair which the women tell what the association has meant to them.

RABBIT 'OWL' APPEARS
Third Year Publication Comes Out In Expurgated Form
EDITED FROM THE OUTSIDE
EDITED FROM OUTSIDE
Members of "Honor" Society Yield To Influence
Pale and wan, an expurgated edition of the "Sour Owl," publication of the junior "honor" society, appeared in its columns; its humor is buffo-searchlight of publicity burns feebly in its columns; its humon is buffo-ory. Its personal attacks are venomous and vitriolic in intent, but lack the wit of some of the hard-hitting characters. Its cynicism is weak and juvenile, and therefore disgusting. Purchasers of the sheet were free in expressing their disappointment.
Following the suppression of the original Owl through the influence of one of the fraternities whose members were struck off, the situation was struck off. The lead story "Honest Confession is Good for the Soul" was toned down, and permitted to run just as its principals desired. The character Susace Brown was likewise changed.
Stories of a night-time meeting of the Owls, a visit to the home of the Chancellor in the early morning, and an attempt to get an injunction have come to light since the original edition was printed. Students active in the move for suppression, failing in other means, persuaded the Owls in their favour that a brief warning would beable for them to sell the paper as it was first written. The one sold this morning, reprinted and revised, is the result.
WOMEN ARE OMITTED
WOMEN ARE OMITTED
The Owl omits mention of the women of the University, but says that a subsequent issue will not follow the same plan.
The Owl, according to its one editorial, "aims to expose practices that are harmful or selfish. ... It has adopted a policy of not mentioning the names of the weaker sex in such a manner," writes Wheeler. The latter part of the editorial reads; "to you outsiders who read the following and thoughtfully comb your beard remarking on the bad atmosphere at the University of Kansas, you who have about the deterioration at the University and turn about and vote against the mill tax and the approverate taxes," he writes. Then comes a denial of the existence of the very evil which the Owl attempts so ineffectually to proclaim.
AGAINST EASTERN STAR?
Fred Rockley, K. U's star track athlete in the middle distance runs, may have the honor of sharing headline honors with Ted Merdith, crack eastern star, in a special half mile race annual K. C. A., C. iour track meet Convention Hall in Kansas City Saturday night.
Rodkey May Compete With Merideth in Convention Hall
Dr. J. A. Reilly, director of the athletic club, has practically secured Meridite as an attraction and is now busy finding a fitting opponent for him. Rodkey's time in the half has been valuable, experimental, and many believe that the Kansas star will be able to give the easterner a great race. As far as comparative records go, Rodkey has made the distance in 1:56 on an outdoor track compared by 1:53 by Meridite. Indoors this season, the Jayhawker has negotiated the 880 yards in 2:04 on the misstored half-mile golf track, but it is not given away, facing the eastern star alone, it is sure that he will be one of the trio of Missouri Valley athletes who will be entered against him.
NOTED LINGUIST TO TELL OF TRAVELS AT VEREIN

KNOCKING AT OUR GATES
KNOCKING AT OUR GATES
A woman, one of the despised races of Russian Jews, stood in crowded Fraser Hall chapel Thursday and told the pitifully brave story of her struggle to become an American. Told the story of her life because it is the story of every immigrant. Some succeed in lifting themselves from the slums. She did. Some do not succeed, but it is more our fault than theirs.
And those who listened to her were ashamed, for she spoke the truth. She pleaded for the immigrant who comes to us not in search of wealth or fame or aggrandizement, but only life. All he asks is liberty to live. His highest aim is to be like the American, he even hopes that some day he will be an American. His national ideals and customs he casts aside as worthless and seeks our ideals and customs.
And the evil consists in what he inhues to us but in what we do to him. Too often he sells his birthright for our mess of pottage. He finds not the land of liberty but the land of outlaws. After we have crushed the life from him, we hold him up in police court as an example of the degeneracy of the immigrant.
Yes, the American will learn a lesson in patriotism from "Those who knock at our gates."
Blindly we fail to accept what the immigrant brings to us. Why has Jane Addams said again and again that the foreigner lives a life of happiness within the slums, that the blue blooded scion of aristocracy never dreamed of? Why does Ris say that the east side Russian Jew will some day break the hold of Tammany? Why but because the poor foreigner possesses the idealism which we lack.
THE FIRST ONE
Spring is in the air, on the campus, in the buildings and in the hearts of the three thousand K.U. students. The past few days indicate its coming and the departure of winter. Days like these are rare in February and come few and far between. Tomorrow may be cold and blustery, but we have sensed the hint of approaching spring.
The campus is still brown and dead, and traces of ice appear on the north sides of the buildings, but the "feel" of the approaching spring is here. Far off, in all directions from Mount Oread, the blue haze along the horizon tells of spring. The constant chatter of the sparrows around the eyes of Fraser; the springy step of the students up the Hill; the bracing air and warm sun; and the hint of growing things—all stir the feeling of renewed life.
WHY IS A TRADITION?
Too often are students heard complaining that the University of Kansas has no traditions. They should consider the reasons why the University has not had the opportunity to
make many traditions.
The University has in many cases been held up in comparison with the older order of educational institutions where many years of experience have gone into developing and cementing the customs and habits of the first, second, and third generations. But the University of Kansas is this year approaching only its fifthtenth anniversary. There are probably no cases where any student's father father attended the institution. The University is only beginning to feel the presence of a large number of students who are attending the same school their fathers did.
However, traditions may be existing on Mount Oread which are not noticeable because of their nearness.
Then again the student body reflects the spirit of the state. For many years the people of Kansas have prided themselves on the fact that they were citizens of a state where many new things have been started. Too often have Kansans been glad to create new movements to vin wide publicity, but too changeable to stick to the ideas already started. It is this same spirit that has so often been reflected among the student body at the University of Kansas.
With a few more generations passing through the University the family pride in the father's father's Alna Mater will be created. In its time the state itself will have felt the presence of college men gone out into public offices inspired with the spirit of state service. With this same ideal reflected back again into the University of Kansas, we should then be on a fair way to have traditions.
THE THREE THOUSAND MARK
Ninty-four new students enrolled in the University at the beginning of the new semester and according to Registrar George O. Foster the enrollment probably will reach the 3000 mark in a short time. That is the mark the school has striven for the past few years and now that we have the 3000 we should be justly proud. Three thousand young men and women, the majority of whom claim Kansas as their native state, all on Mount Oread.
But the question arises whether or not we pay too much attention to the material side, to the exact number of students. The enrollment may add some prestige to K. U. among the other universities, but after all the addition of a hundred new students means that much more crowded conditions. However, we have reached another mile-stone and in the next few years K. U. will pull just as hard for the four-thousand mark.
WANT A "K"?
A "K" for women! Surely the Maloy cartoon represented the true situation about women's rights in the University. Certainly the woman who works hard in athletics should get some recognition of her efforts.
The small gold letter which will be presented to the women who take part in sports will be an emblem of winning honor in some intercollegiate game. Thus the gold "K" will have the same meaning to the women as the "K" sweater of the men.
These two emblems will cause the women of the University to take a greater interest in athletics, and will give them something to strive for, and by livening the spirit, will make a better University of Kansas.
Tessie (in desperation) : Oh, yes,
he has a horse for-
anything* — Prisoner Tiger.
While the "K" is the greatest athletic honor that will be given to the women, a record of merit will be given for active interest in all the different forms of athletics. This reward will be a small gold "A," with "K. U." engraved on it.

Every afternoon there are at least five hundred men students who take a workout in the gym. Football, basketball, track and baseball practices are all part of the gym classes. These five hundred students have to take a bath after their workout. And what facilities are there in the gym for a good bath?
It is not merely the proposition of teaching students; it is with the idea of preparing them for their contact with students, that their education should be directed.
Let me expand. Oh, teach me to breathe
"Dissertation Ph. D.'s," that is what one writer has called the teachers who cut themselves off from every classroom, their classrooms — Ohio State Lantern.
"It is about time that our colleges realized that they are doing - more than teaching boys—that they are not doing this, and if they are not doing this, they are not doing all their work." This came from President Alexander Meikeljohn of Amherst College at the last meeting of the Association of University Professors.
Editor of the Kansan:
breathe Deep of the air where thy great ones
Dr. Meikejohn is right. The professor who is an expert on the point of view has lost the point of view of the present, who is oblivious of everything but that which he sees.
A course should be linked with the present. It should be taught from memory to completion.

Editor of the Kansan:
CAMPUS OPINION
The plan it hit upon for learning student opinion has one weakness. The student who uses the ballot inscribed with the questionnaire can only vote in favor of the candidate is in favor of chapel and willing to support it. The gathering of such information seems rather superfluous. It is sufficiently evident already that the great majority of students do not vote in favor of this year's chapel shows that.
The University chapel committee, in an effort to learn the feeling of the student body in regard to chapel exercises, has sent a questionnaire to the University chapel. The University plan is a good one. The services must be supported by the student body if they are to succeed, and for that reason the student body should be given a chance to express its opinion on the question. So far this year, the University's fault has not been with the program, but rather with the attendance. When a school with an enrollment of nearly three thousand men and women cannot show a chapel attendance of more than seventy-four as an average for their class, the chapel is wrong. The chapel committee is striving to find out what that is.
live;
live; unfoldment, help me to know
all I can feel, and live, and do.
For two years these baths have been in this condition. Whose fault is it? Why can not the junior or someone kneel the dirt out of the pipes, put in some new valves or do whatever fixing needs to be done?
The big question seems to be, what is wrong with chapel and how can the fault be corrected; and on this matter the questionnaire gives the student no opportunity to express himself. That is why they did not draw it up its questionnaire. When a thing has proved itself a failure from lack of support, there is little need of asking people if they are willing to support it. Plainly, they did not support it and under what conditions they would consent to help make the thing a success. If the chapel committee would give the students a chance to suggest changes in the present chapel plans they might have had, they would them in making our University chapel services what they should be.
Dip off the air where my great ones live;

Was business any better last week than the week before; or the week before any better than the one preceding that?
How many absolutely new customers came into your store or shop last week?

"GIVE FULL MEASURE"
That Motto, Plus Organization and Buying Power Explains Success of Kress Stores
Braid straw hats for two or three dollars, did you say? Get them at the Kress store for fifty cents.—Do you pay twenty-five cents for bath towels? The Kress store has real life size ones for ten cents. Fine candy coasts for five cents. Smoky coated hangers, two for five cents; smoked glass spectacles, ten each a pair.
Poor quality? Decidedly no. The Kress stores always place quality before price. Their stock is bought from manufacturers of standard equipment or organization and large scale buying that makes such bargains possible.
The perfect Kress organization is seen in the local store. Goods are displayed on counters conveniently arranged, with broad aisles between Each sales girl has a counter with a cash register. And each customer she will sell you no more. Nearly every counter has a cash register. The Kress stores are the second largest users of cash registers in the world. There are twelve in the Lawn store and some of the biggest stores have over three hundred of them.
All of the 150 Kress stores are under one management, which has headquarters in New York. It is here that all orders for goods from the stores are sent. The managers of stores are trained in the business from the bottom up. They begin by handling boxes in the warehouses.
The makeup of all the stores is essentially the same. There are charts showing where each article shall be placed in the stock room. Counters and fixtures are placed in the same position in every store and they are in that respect as alike as 150 peas. A manager can be called from one store to another to manage of another on the shortest notice, and he hardly knows he has moved.
However, the managers order whatever goods they think the locality will buy; they are not compelled to take whatever the Company sends them. The Company sends out travel representatives who inspect the stores and suggest improvements to the managers.
The buying power of a concern which operates 150 stores is tremendous. For instance, if each store uses fifty dozen of an article in a season, it can afford to buy every item by the Company. The largest factories in the world try to get the Kress orders. Three thousand artificial flower firms showed samples to the Kress Company last spring. Orders were taken from only eight of them.
Goods are ordered direct from manufacturers; not from jobbers. The Company keeps buyers all through Europe, even now during the war. At the beginning of the war the Company bought its own hosiery dye—Goldenrod. Now they can supply superior dye to the makers of Kress hosiery. The Company is the largest importer of laces in the United States.
"The business is one great romance to me," said S. J. Bedsoe, manager of the Lawrence store. "About twenty-seven years ago, S. H. Kress started business with one little store in Memphis, Tennessee. Today his chain of stores extends throughout the South and West. There is romance in that;—One of our buyers in France was married last year." The romance—and there is romance too in the daily work of the business. The work is not killing although there is no loafing to it. Our organization makes the store run itself; I could leave for a week and when I came back the store would be running as well as if I had been here. My office work takes only about two minutes a day. I am sure the worker would have the Company did not want to come back.
"We follow several principles in business practice, which largely account for the growth of the Kress company. We never expect to be successful for very long ways. we expect a cussing for what we do wrong. we say that there is no time like the present; if a thing should be done today, it is done today. Criticism in any department must be constructive; not destructive. If a report is submitted to a department be changed in this store, he must give a reason for the change.
article who refuses to buy on the ground that the quality is poor. He may have other reasons but he never doubts that we are offering him his money's worth, and then some. The people have come to know that anything they get at a Kress store is what it is said to be."
HOW KRESS MAKES GOOD
"It is our efficiency in organization and our great buying power that enable us to give such bargains. Quality always comes first. Nobody ever comes into a Kress store to look at an

WAR AFFECTS STUDENTS
Kansans Feel Effect of War in Increased Price of Paper
It again becomes necessary for students of the University of Kansas to help foot the bill for the war. First it was the Belgians, then the Germans; now it is a rise in the price of paper which students have to meet.
Where the student is affected most in the cost of note paper, that which is used in laboratory work is often more expensive. The price has been boosted much higher but the superintendent of the department of journalism press, has evolved a plan to overcome this disadvantage. He has charge of all it students and arranged to sell it to students at the old price, but with a few sheets less.
The cause of this sudden soaring of such a common article is probably due to the unsettled conditions regarding trade. A large part of the dyes used in the manufacture of paper comes from Germany, and安德森公司 so effective, it is next to impossible to secure the right coloring. This also accounts for the fact that colored paper is higher than white.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The Daily Kansan is paying about twenty-five cents a day more for paper now than at the beginning of the war. Another item is that of printing ink, the cost of which has increased materially, as Germany leads the world in the output of this product.

A new variety of bird has been discovered by the ornithology class, which has been named the pulley bird.

The class focused their glasses. The sulley bird was feathered and he was left there by the engineers who are making the new bridge.

An examination of several hundreds of birds' stomachs captured in the south eastern part of the state has been started by Scott Griesa, an advanced student in the department of entomology at Kansas University, under the direction of Prof. Bennett M. Allen, head of the department. These birds were captured last summer by three students working for the University of Kansas Biological Survey. Students examined the stomachs of birds, reptiles and mammals.
Examination of the stomach is being made for the purpose of determining the economic importance of birds in native active amounts of grain and insects that the birds eat. The statistics that are secured in this manner will form the basis of the state reports that are to be sent out to every county.
Hundreds of high school teachers, principals and superintendents from all parts of the state will meet at the University of Kansas March 17 and 18 to attend the Thirteenth Annual High School Conference.

We need more of it, and more, and again more. We need music that claps an arm over the shoulder of a tired man and swings him into an easier stride; music that surprises the heart of a world in which the world is as dull and shabby as his own neglected shoes; music that says rousing things in a man's own language.
One longs to seize upon some young composer and tell him to put every sunny day and beckoning road he had ever met, into a march that would make people swing ahead to a splendid rhythm. Not a martin March, but a trumpet March, and then into a new, exhilarating sense of mental release and bodily freedom.
Let the phonographs play it and the people hear it on their way to and from work, and other tunes that dance instead of staggering, that do not mistake noisiness for merriment.

Hamilton Takes Twenty Men to Manhattan—Will Enter But Sixteen
The Jayhawker track squad is going up against a real proposition in Manhattan tonight when it meets the first big conference meet of the season. The Aggies have been laying for the Jayhawkers and they expect to repeat the performance Kansas on McClure by a two point margin.
Coaches Hamilton and Patterson took twenty Kansans along with them this morning but they will only get to use sixteen of the items accustomed to a race. This causes the coaches to worry a great deal over the proper choice of men and the line-up will not be determined until the race is called. It is possible that some women will not participate in an event of the Jayhawkers who are repeat in a different race.
There is considerable optimism among the Kansas followers but there is an equal amount among the Agri rooters. The Aggie coach issued a statement last week in which he predicted a 44 to 41 victory for the Agriies and in doing so he even gave the Kansas the relay. Now the going is to win the meet before the replay. Now after a conference of Jawaharluru rooters the dope from Lawrence gives the Kansas men this by a 46 to 39 score.
This figures all the breaks going against Kansas and is taken as a very conservative estimate after weighing that this was not the case of past records. But even the mathematician who figured up the score from the Kansas point of view admits that Kansas with a moderate break of over 20 percent had the thick one mentioned above. The dopsheet which has been figured out by a prominent Jayhawker is as follows:
K.U. Aggie
30 yard dash 3 3
8 foot 8 0
High hurdles 3 5
Low hurdles 3 5
Quarter mile 3 5
Half mile 5 3
Shot put 5 3
Pole vault 5 3
High Jump 3 5
Two mile 3 5
Relay 5 0
The Aggies are given six first, while Kansas claims first in only four events and the relay. But with the meet, the team will be in luck could either side to win.
"I think we will win but the score may be small," was the way Assit
unt-Coach Patterson sized it up before he left with the team this morning. "The men are most all in good shape and if they do what they are capable of doing we will have little trouble. A couple of the men are just getting over the gripe while the charley horse is also in good enough shape to enter. The line-up be decided until each race is called."
Twenty men were taken along and were entered in the following events: 50-yd dash, Davidson, Hilton, Crow

Miss Queenfeel, handling the ball with a sort of careless carefulness, popped in fourteen goals, and Miss Brown's sure hand in eleven field and one foot goals.
Among the freshmen Genevive West and Iril Nelson played a steady and consistent game as guards. The freshmen forces were materially weakened when Marguerite Perkins, in guard, was forced to withdraw because of injuries. Although the freshmen played a losing game throughout, yet they showed fight all the time and made the sophomores work for every point.

POLITY Club Distribute Ballots—Want Sentiments Expressed
Fearing that all students might not have access to a ballprinted in the Daily Kansan, the International Polity Club had printed 2,000 ballprints for voting on the preparedness question, which are now being disbanded as the time for turning in the ballnotes has been extended to Wednesday noon in order that all students will have time to fill out their ballots and drop them in a University mail box. The Polity Club will meet Wednesday night and find out the results of the contest. Kenny People will tell at his meeting the club of his experience on the Ford truck to Europe.

One of our students coming from a western university finds that she must make many changes in her vocabulary, if she is to be understood. Instead of "queening," she goes "dating" with the men. Her cheerery "good boy" becomes "happier" or "hello" or the students will think her undemocratic. She spends all night "bugging" for "quizzes," when formerly she "crammed" for "exes." In
stead of going to the "campus," she goes on the "Hill." Yet she thought she knew the vocabulary of the modern university.

Second Year Basketball Women Won Both Contests Saturday With Large Scores
Fire, pepper, and lightning were all personified Saturday afternoon when the two teams of sophomore women defended the two teams of freshman basketball players by the overwhelming scores of 40 to 9 and 34 to 8. The team played, the defenses with which they handled the ball, the darting runs, quick passes, and the surety of the forwards' aim showed that the game of the sophomores worked like a masy women as by men. The team work was easy; the players lineed and the freshman women were totally unable to solve its mechanism as time after time the ball was tipped to second center or a guard, zipped across to a forward and then slipped easily down through the big iron hoop. The efficient sophomore guarding held the ball tightly only six times in both games did those goal tossers work through this human wall to score.
Both games were played at the same time across the basketball floor. Coach Hazel Pratt and Miss Elliot, who furnished the steam power for both teams, moved positions at the end of the first half, each officiating a part of each game.

ADVISE BUYING PLANT
Engineers Agree That Lawrences Should Purchase Water Works And Add Improvements
HOW PRICE WAS REACHED
Guffer of M. A., Tells How $175,
000 Was Agreed Upon
Any fear that Lawrence, in buying its water works system at the election March 14, would receive the worst end of the bargain, was dispelled by the discussions of Engineering and engineer for the state board of health, E.B. Black, of Black and Worley, municipal engineers of Kansas City, Mo., and Otto Guffer, president of the Merchants' Association, at a public meeting on the water question at the Plymouth Congregational Church last night.
Details concerning possible sources of water supply, appraisals, present condition of the water system, cost of improvements, and other matters were
MERCHANTS SET PRICE
Mr. Gufner, who was a member of the committee of the Merchants' Association which conducted the negotiations with C. F. Street, president of Lawrence Water Company, told how they asked, $75,000, came to be reached.
"The initiative came from the Merchants' .Association after a trip made by the association to California," Mr Guffer said. "We had stopped at a number of cities which owned their water systems and were pleased with what water they used, furnished. On the way back, we began discussing the possibility of buying the Lawrence plant. Shortly afterwards we asked J. H. Mitchell, receiver for the water company, to urge President Street of New York to come out and discuss the proposition with us. He met with the Merchants' committee and a price was recommended to him by his secretary immediately, saying that the stockholders would not consider such a proposition for a moment.
FIGURED 17 PER CENT DEPERSLATION
"The appraisal board consisted of E.B. Black, of Worley and the Kansas City company representing the city, and W. Kiersted, who has long experience in municipal engineering problems at Kansas City, Mo., who was chosen by the other two engineers in the project to agree. This board set the total price of the plant at $231,995.29. Interest during construction and going value were included in this valuation, but goes back to the cent deducted in the appraisal.
"The Merchants eliminated the going value in their consideration and based their price on the actual physical valuation of the plant which was about $176,000. We felt that the price of $175,000 was as much as we could justly afford to pay for the plant and Mr. Street was so informed.
"IN an effort to induce a businessmen to figure the business to each member of the committee personally to try to get a higher recommendation, but he was not listened to. Finally, after returning to New York and discussing the proposition with his directors, Mr. Street wired that the price would be acceptable if the citizens of Lawrence would vote favorably on it, and if the water company would not be required to take such action, then the vote of the campaign preceding the election on the proposal."
Professor Haskins then explained the condition of Lawrence water and said that under no conditions could a better water supply be obtained. He said that no matter where wells were located, there would not be obtained and that therefore the practical thing to do was to use the present source and install an iron removing process and a softening plant. The iron removal process could be installed for $30,000, he said. With this technology Haskins said that the Lawrence supply would be an excellent water for domestic and drinking purposes. In daily tests which have been* made since October 26 in Professor Haskin's laboratories, no disease bearing bacterium have been found. The water is on his own account and his treatment could be made palatable also.
MR. BLACK FAVORS PURCHASE
Mr. Black, as an experienced municipal engineer, gave his expert opinion on the advisability of purchasing a plant under the conditions proposed.
"For the figure of $175,000, Lawrence cannot afford to lose a chance to get control of this important utility," he said. "Lawrence could put $450, but it would not be possible, then not be exceeding the average investment which cities of its size are making in water systems. Out of over two hundred water systems in Kansas, only a dozen are privately owned and operated." He says that plans which has come to my observation in professional work has left no doubt in my mind about the advantages of municipal ownership."
When asked if it was more practice to buy the plant, Mr. Black replies that it is not necessary; the plant is, in some respects, it would be much cheaper to improve it than to install a new system, for there is usually no equipment which can always be used."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 23, 1916.
Several arguments against the pres ent proposal were made but the engineers met all of them with figures 'from their data.
MARVINITES WANT DAY
Ask University Senate to Restore Holiday For Celebration
A petition with more than two hundred signatures attached has been presented to the University Senate by the students of the School of Engineering asking that "Engineering should be restored to the past, be restored to the Engineers."
Last year after the celebrations on Engineers' Day the University had a school holiday to be held only on Saturdays or holidays. The reason was that classes in the entire University were broken up for an
In years past the feature of Engineers' Day was a big parade, which was scheduled to start at ten or ten-thirty, but it rarely ever started before twelve, thus causing overtime. The course was interrupted while the College and Law students waited for the procession.
It has been suggested that some plan might be worked out whereby the parade would be scheduled for and start at noon, so that not more than twenty minutes of class work would be lost. Such a plan would allow the engineers to deal with large degree and still give the Engineers a chance to advertise.
The petition is in the hands of the Chancellor at present awaiting the action of the University Senate at its meeting on March 7.
WOMEN TURN TO HOCKEY
Practice in the Outdoor Sport to Begin Tuesday Afternoon
"Women's hockey teams will take up out door practice now at once," said Dr. Goetz, "we have been fortunate in securing Bertha Kitchell who is taking graduate work in Physics here on the Hill, to coach our hockey teams. Miss Kitchell was on the varsity hockey team at the University of Wisconsin, and was an alum from this sport in California. She will coach the women on Tuesdays at 3:30 and at that time every upperclass woman interested in hockey should be on the field.
"If the hockey field below the gym is too wet the grounds in front of the Fowler Shops will be used. The women can practice among themselves at any time and I hope hockey sticks will be clicked on the field every day. The women intend to play against them should report at once, the seniors to their manager, Ella Hawkins; and the juniors to Mabel Elmore.
"We had planned to make hockey the first intercollegiate sport among the women here but unless this game is practiced very faithfully I am afraid basketball will be the first on our intercollegiate schedule.
Dr. Ward Cook of Boston was on the Hill yesterday visiting old friends. So she his graduation from he has he been doing work in a Boston hospital.
"Although the women can play hockey better in gym suits yet change of costume will not be necessary. The players can come directly to the gym after classes, get one of the official Applebee hockey sticks and a pair of the heavy red or blue wool stockings which distinguish the different teams and impairment we were bully guards, and go down to the hockey field. I hope all the old players and many new ones will be out every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 for regular practice."
Send the Daily Kansan home to the folks.
This sport, which is reserved for upperclass women at the university, was started and coached last fall by Dr. Goetz with the idea in mind of making it the first of intercollege sports in the country. All required are required to make a full team, the upperclass athletes have a good chance, in case of a varsity game, to win the letter "K," the highest emblem of honor awarded by the Women's Athletic Association. Before winter forced the practice of indoor volleyball many of the upperclass women turned out twice a week to wield the hockey stick and join in jolly and active companionship together.

Kansas Track Men Win Over
whelming Victory From
Farmer School
The Kansas track team is the most heartless group of individuals that has been seen for some time around Manhattan. They seem to have no regard for the feelings of others. Which are they? The team took the Aggies to a "good sound wal-oping" in Manhattan Monday night with a score of 66 to 19.
PLACE IN EVERY EVENT
The Aggies for the past week had been claiming the meet by a 44 to 14 score while the Kansans refused to make any boasts other than that the meeting would be close and that Kansans should win. But the Aggies' talk scared the Kansans tracersisters into believing Mr. Maeser made a real track team and the one-sided score resulted from this scared feeling.
Whatever caused the wonderful showing of the Jayhawkers is immaterial. But the showing was there and the large crowd which gathered in the K. S, A. C, gym to see Merner's trackers hand K, U, the same treaters' team and the basketball team was sorely disappointed with the result of the meet.
In every event the Kansas men seemed to be going at their best and as a result the Agries took only two firsts and three seconds in the entire meet. Kansas placed in every event and took both places in five events.
Kansas started the meet off with a first in the 30-yard dash by Davidson. This was the first of the unexpected Kansas points and put Kansas in the top position, but Kansers took the Aggie side when Frizzell took firsts in both hurdle races. The Jayhawkers came back with first and second in the shot put and from that run to the halfway step they took. The distance races annexed the majority of the points for the Kansas.
AGGIE "SURE POINTS" UPSET
the sure points* which the Aggies claim climb in the high jump. Captain Frizzel took second to Treweeke of Kansas in the high jump, and Tector, the star two miler, was defeated over a lap and a quarter by Grady, the Kansas veteran. These two events the greatest upsets of the evening.
The time in the distance events was the most remarkable part of the meet. Several K. U. outdoor records were approached and several new dual quarter, half and mile times were the best that has ever been made on the indoor track by the men of either school. Herrritt and Sproll started the work when they took both places in the final straight-all the way until the final straight-away where Herrritt nosed him out by r foot. O'Leary and Campbell then came in for two places in the quarter mile and showed clean pairs of heels to Hollyroyd, who had been doped to five times the time of 64 flat was unusually good.
UPSET THE AGGIE DOPE COME ALL YE SCRIBES
RODKEY AND GRADY STAR
With this showing the chances for a victory over Missouri in Convention Hall, March 17 looms up strong. The week before, the initial conference meet will cause Schlumberger to a few nights' sleep between now and the annual tangle and, incidentally, it may cause him to lose the big affair. But that is three weeks off and at present the tracksters are preparing for the K.C.A. C, games Saturday night.
The half mile was won by Rodkey in 2:01; with Fiske in second place behind. This is only three-fifths of a second slower than the K. U. record established on the outdoor track by Rodkey two years ago. Then he did the good work with an even ten minute victory over Teeter in the two miles.

Strongly Organized Department of Journalism Will Gain Respect—To Meet Tonight
Have would-be newspaper-men a right to dapple in politics? The scribes of the department of journalism, and there are over one hundred enrolled in this department, will meet tonight in the portorial rooms of the Daily Kansan and settle the question as to the right of news reporters. For instance, least, the promoters of the scribes' union maintain that the University news gatherers have the right of organizing their own department.
For many years the reporters have schemed and written article after article to create student sentiment in favor of the organization of similar groups. The serires point to the well organized Schools of Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Medicine, and the Graduate School.
The promoters of the proposal organization for the tribe of journalists will attempt to have the same for their own department. With the department well organized, they say, there will be one more altar for aspirants to high political office before the voters, and the venders in political plums neglected the publicity department of the student body.
A president, vice-president, treasurer and two secretaries will be chosen at the meeting tonight. A woman secretary is to be elected to take care of interests of the large newspaper department. The meeting will be called in the journalism building at eight o'clock.
A REAL STUDENT PARTY
All-University Affair Next Sat-

There will be a practice of the pannet dance at the Gymnasium on Tuesday evening, starting at 10:30. Every organization in the University, and each class is urged to have an instructor.
The committee in charge of the decorations had a meeting Friday afternoon and worked out the final details for transforming the Gymnasium into a colonial ball room. ___

STATE SOLONS TO TALK
Kansas Legislators Among the Prominent Jayhawkers Coming to Oreand
A number of Friday afternoon lectures on timely and important subjects by prominent Kansans are being arranged by the departments of political science and economics in cooperation.
The first will be given Friday at 4:30 by Senator Harry Macmillan, of Minneapolis. He will talk on this issue and explain the interest just at this time in view of the pending legislation in congress, and the universal interest in it. Senator Macmillan is familiar with the legislative, and will speak with authority.
The following week Senator W. P. Lamberton, of Fairview, a member of the state economy and efficiency commission named by the last legislature, served as State Government in the State Government of Kansas." As one of three members of the economy and efficiency commission, it has been Senator Lamberton's duty to visit various state institutions and assist in construction of schools employed. A report will be presented to the next legislature.
The complete series of lectures will probably number ten or a dozen. The list of speakers will be announced in a few days. The University politics will be invaded although the projects with which benefit of benefiting the students interested particularly in political science, economics, and kindred subjects.
STUDENTS MAKE USE
OF STACKS AT NIGHT
Students have begun to take advantage of the stacks being open at night more in the last week than they did the first week or two that year. The faculty committee which has charged the regulation of the stacks is keeping a record of the use made of them at night in order to see whether or not there is sufficient demand for retention of the practice. Some evenings there is very little use on the stacks; there is considerable. During the past week the number of calls each evening for books from the stacks has averaged about ten. One evening there were but two calls. The majority of calls come between the hours of eight and nine o'clock after
VANT TO GROW TALLER?
GYM WORK WILL DO IT
Statistics prepared by Dr. James Naismith, of the department of physical education, show that the average student gains in height to an appreciable degree while taking his gym classes in school.
The ability of athletic work to make one taller is undoubtedly proved by the long list of records which have been kept at the University, which show that the student will gain from two-tenths to one-half of each in height more than his normal growth while training. The younger the student, the greater the gain in height, the records show.

GIVE GUMBINER'S PLAY
Committee Decides to Use "Copping the Grapes" as Senior Production
TO BEGIN PRACTICE SOON
Manager Announces Tryouts
Next Friday and Saturday
Following an investigation by the special senior committee named by President C. A. Randolph, it has been decided that he senior will present Alton Gumbiner's play, "Copping the Grapes," which won the $50 Dramatic Club prize. Members of the committees, Guy Waldo, Helen Jenkins, Harlan Hutchings, Alice Coors, and Le兰 Thompson.
The special committee was named by Randolph after the senior play manager, Don Burnett, had expressed his doubt as to the advisability of presenting it, disagreeing with the faculty members of the award committee.
Burnett has commenced work, and announced tryouts today for Friday, after the season ended in Hall. The play has fifteen parts, four of them for women. Burnett says there is a chance for excellent work, performances for a big turnout at the tryouts.
The report of the committee follows;
"Your special committee appointed to examine the play which won the Dramatic Club prize, and authorized to speak for the class whether therants the play produced or not, beg leave to submit the following report.
"At our first meeting we met and read the play. At the second meeting we discussed it from all the view points of a senior, remembering that the senior play would be reproduced commencement week before our par-ents, relatives, and friends, taking into account what the play, the objections offered by the senior play manager, and the question of producing the play.
"The play manager's chief objection was that there was a lull and drag in the action in the second act. The committee was favorably impressed with the play as a whole, and voted unanimously to allow Alton Gumbine, for a period of three days, to make certain revisions and alterations, thereby giving more pep to those scenes which the play manager said were lacking in action.
"At the third meeting of the committee we met to consider the play as revised. The play is one which will designate the subject of the characters than the words spoken, but it is the opinion of the committee that the present senior class has the material to put it across. We are not going to doubt be a credit to dramatics at the University of Kansas. Therefore, we, the committee authorized to speak for the class, recommend that Alton Gunn play the character of Jem, which won the prize offered by the K. U. Dramatic Club, be produced as the senior play of the class of 1916."
ROFESSOR SHULL INVENTS
SOIL-TESTING APPARATUS
Chinese puzzles are perfectly free from complexity, in fact they are simple and silly, when you compare them to French puzzles. Professors in the Botany department.
For instance, can you conceive of measuring the force with which a little seed pulls in water? If so, then take these measurements and find out the force with which soil particles hold water. All these things are done to minimize exactness of measurement and practical importance, especially to the people in arid sections of the country.
Professor Shull has devised a little machine to be used in this work which has been very favorably commented upon at Columbia University, as well as the expérience of using it on the machine is run for fifteen days without stopping, by an electric dynamo used with a reducer. Its purpose is to rotate a dozen soils containing different amounts of moisture in which are seeds that have been weighed. The object is to measure the amount of the seeds absorb by bringing them into contact with all of the soils.
This is the first machine from which really accurate results in the measuring of the water-holding power of soils have been obtained.

HACKS
The first time that a hack was ever mentioned in American history was when George Washington took one of the cherry tree. This was one of the most famous hacks in the history of the United States.
There are many famous hacks at the University. The one most dreaded is the hack that a well-known committee takes with the eligibility axe. Students hate this worst of all.
Then there is the hack that one charters when he calls for a cab to take "her" to the theatre. Or there might be the hack that the young man may get if he doesn't call a cab for the fair damsel.
But of all hacks, the worst is the hack-neyed joke that our beloved professors springs. If you don't laugh at it he takes a hack at your grades.
THE CHAPEL QUESTION
Sir Joshua Reynolds says that a room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts. Quite often though the thoughts are inarticulate desires to see the artist, not picture, hung.
THE CHRIST QUESTION
Do you realize that about fourteen hundred and forty hours a week are being wasted in order that an average of seventy students out of three thousand shall attend chapel at 8?
If the chapel hour was changed so that classes might begin at 8, much time would be gained for the whole student body. Formerly classes began at 8 and breakfasts were so timed that students were forced to arise in time to attend such a class or else had to go without breakfast. Now the breakfast hour has been slipped along, students sleep fifteen minutes or half an hour longer in the morning, and every day a half hour of valuable time is wasted.
The health of the student body does not seem to have improved to any great extent by the few additional minutes of sleep. In fact students did not seem great physical wrecks when they arose for 8 o'clock classes.
If chapel were changed to any other hour of the day, it is hardly possible that any fewer could attend than do now. Seventy students of our nearly three thousand seems a mockery. A daily chapel is one of the finest things that this institution has preserved. To dispense with it would be a disgrace to the University, but it does not seem just or right to the life of the school or to the students to keep daily chapel at an hour at which few students seem willing to attend
Chapel at 10 o'clock may not have been successful in the past, but it could scarcely be any less successful than chapel has been at 8 o'clock this year. Even if no more students attended than do now, still a half hour would be saved by forcing students to arise a few minutes earlier each morn
Some of the faculty do not believe that chapel at 10 o'clock would be a success. The Daily Kansan is not sure that it would be any more of a success than it is at present, but the University as a whole would save a great deal of valuable time.
ing for classes. Whether students attended chapel or studied, the fourteen hundred and forty hours would be saved.
If the student body is in favor of changing the chapel hour, the Kansan requests that it make note of the fact upon the chapel cards or through the communication boxes of the Kansan.
And no one has mentioned a Spring Poetry Contest yet?
Lest someone beat me to it I will start the Spring Poetry Contest on the right track with the following:
Spring has came,
The snow has went,
It was not did
By accident.
—Io Speed
As a closing number let us all rise and join in singing "Dearie fetch the ladder, I want to comb the Chancy's hair."
In this Vanity Fair contest what we want is more of the latter and not the former.

A PENNY SAVED—
"Yes," said Mrs. Wud, B. Hibrush to her neighbor, "Robertson was certainly fint in 'Omlet.' And I thought Miss Forbes played the part of 'Orpheum' exceptionally well, too."
Fads are a part of every American's life. The fad may be—neckties or it may be golf. Just now there is a fad to save money, a tendency which seems likely to grow into a habit.
If this high cost of "moving" be not the only poor one in Lawsuits,
When France had to pay a high indemnity after the war of 1870 she did it by teaching her people to save and as a result she became the banker for half of Europe before the present war broke out. A similar change seems to be taking place in the United States. When the war started Wall Street said, "slow up." Capitalists and laborers became frightened and everyone began to talk economy. People preferred to wear out their shoes rather than seem extravagant. "Frivolis" were cut out, and pleasure trips to Europe were postponed indefinitely.
—Lo Speed.
The result of these self denials is obvious. Even the pessimist will acknowledge that the United States is prospering. This, the most extravagant country in the world, is now setting the pace in saving. We are becoming rich. The national banks last year totaled a half million greater savings than in any previous year. Today this country has two billions of gold on hand, which is five times the whole world's annual production. We have loaned a billion dollars to the outside world. It was neither the million dollar war order from Europe nor was it Wall Street that made us the bankers of the world. Our present financial status is the result of the small investor putting his weekly earnings into good securities.
The old adage, "It's not what you make but what you save," has at last been heeded. This step toward self denial is undoubtedly one of the most timely and commendable movements that Americans have ever made. The more the better, as long as it in no way discounts the future. If saving is only a bad, it is to be hoped that it may develop into a habit.

Fluency, accuracy, concreteness and power are the real assets in one's knowledge of English, and, if they have received a good school study to be lightly put aside?
Accuracy in the use of sixty-six per cent of our English words can be gained most surely by the mastery of the Latin root. Are you confused with "continuum" or "effect"? Have you ever been guilty of directing one to "endorse" a document upon its face? Can you distinguish at once between "centripetal" and "centrifugal"—"alumnae" and "alumnae". Try Latin as a remedy.
Have you ever noticed how limited your boy's vocabulary is? How little power he seems to show in selecting English words? Perhaps this is because no study he is taking makes him aware that there are many words not yet covered in English words. If he were a student of Latin he would soon learn to know that "magnus" does not always mean "great," but that he must discriminate in choosing the English word according to the noun modified for example: "Spees magna"—high hope; "silentum magnum"—deep silence; "subsidium magnum"—deep institution; "dolor magnus"—intense pain.
But proficiency in English means more than fluency and accuracy; it means the power to be concrete. Is it not worth while for the politician to use a possessive pronoun "trust"—if he shows opposition—or, as the Latin puts it, "kicks back"? What an interesting adjective "gregarious" is, when applied to the "crowd man," or perhaps you do the same with "herd" or "arius"—belonging to.
With practically its very life dependent upon the prosperity of its alien population, the time has come when New York must take into consideration the fact that the educator in such schools who patronize her evening schools is as important as any work of enlightenment with which she is charged.
The principal fault lies with the Board of Education and men who are in charge of the City's affairs, which were passed by the Board of Education, and sanctioned by the Mayor and City Council, which affected upward of 25,000 school children, a large number of night schools.
Unusual as it may seem New York City has inadequate means of educating its poorer classes. The recent demonstration of five thousand men, women and children, marching through the heart of the city and clamoring for better education has clearly been clearly that the Metropolis has failed to solve the problem of its foreign population.

"How did these beautiful rainbow tints get into the shell of the fresh water clam, buried in the mud at the bottom of our dark river?"
"Stick by your family, boy; forget you have a self, while you do everything for them. Think of your home, boy; write and send, and talk nearer to your thought, the farther you have to travel from it; and rush back to it when you are free. And for your country, boy," and the words rattled in his throat, "and for that flag," and he pointed to the service as she did dream of serving her as she did men, through the service carry you through a thousand terrors. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or abuses, you never look at another flag, never let a night pass but you pray God to allow you to be safe, that behind all these men you have to do with—behind officers, and government, and people even,—there is the Country Herself, your Country, and that you belong to Her as you belong to your own mother; and that belongs to you stand by your mother."—From the "Man Without a Country," by Edward Everett Hale.
And now the Board of Education reduces the appropriations by one million dollars, because it deems it a 'comp-for' the city's best interests."

New York's Evening Schools are of three kinds: elementary, trade and high. According to figures by the Department of the Association of Evening School Alumni, eighty per cent of the night school students are foreign born and attend the institutions primarily to learn the English language.

"I have spent $8.00 advertising in the University Daily Kansan in the last two weeks and know positively, that I have obtained fifteen regular customers for my shop as a result. Fifty cents a new customer sounds good to me. I didn't know anything about writing advertisements, but the Kansan boys have helped me. Every day, the man who writes my ads comes into the shop and talks over the next day's copy with me. That is what I call "ADVERTISING SERVICE." I am making every attempt to have the SERVICE in my shop as efficient as the Kansan's. That is why I am going to hold my new customers."

The 115th meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society was held last Saturday evening at the University Club, 11th Flat Rock Meets, Kansas City, Mo. The member's section of the Kansas City section, which has been organized for a number of years, and which has about 100 members, is restricted to towns as far west as Joplin and to far east as Joplin and St. Joseph.
PROFESSORS READ PAPERS
BEFORE CHEMICAL SOCIETY
The professors from the University who attended were: E. H. S. Wittkater, H. C. Allen, C. F. Neelgao, W. Stratton and Nelson Belchis.
Professor Belchic read a paper on "Flatation," and Professor Allen spoke on "Heat Value of Gas of Mid-Continental Fields."
Grad Students Demand Chem
Among the Grade students' no such term as "Popular Course" is known, for as Dean F. W. Blackmar says, "that carries the idea of a course which teaches the Speak of the courses which are in demand." It may be surprising to learn that the course "most in demand" is Chemistry while English, German, and Sociology come next.
At present there are 125 students in school. The total for the year including Summer School is 260. Twenty new ones enrolled this semester.

The Nation
"It has been the making of my course in modern history."
This is what a professor of history in one of the leading Eastern colleges said of THE NATION. And we receive letters of equally high praise from teachers of English, journalism, argumentation and social science.
Over twenty of the foremost educational institutions in the United States—universities, colleges, and schools—use THE NATION in the teaching of one or more of these five subjects. In each case the selection of THE NATION follows a careful examination and comparison with other periodicals. The decision could surprise no one familiar with THE NATION; for its merits are many and unmistakable. Those most often cited by educators are:
1. its splendid English—clear, beautiful, natural.
2. hire one of its departments may be safely held up to students in the first inscription in claiming that The Nation uses the English language better than any other periodical in the world.
2. As a weekly review of the history of our time it prepares just the right manner and amount the news of the world.
3. It touches upon an extraordinarily wide range of intuitions, with some being sympathetic apprehension to subjects which otherwise do not squarely at national weakness. Americans who can look squarely at national weakness are less likely to over-specialization of interest is a frequent fault.
4. The attention given to social and governmental programs prepares young men and women to be good citizens.
5. The editorial—vigorous, fair, written by men who know what they're writing about—are the best possible foundation for clear thinking and clear talking on the great questions of the day.
These are a few of the good points of THE NATION. They have made it grow steadily in circulation. They have won the allegiance of teachers, seniors and general readers. They have also joined to promote THE NATION in the position it has held for over fifty years—that of

Giant Lizard Lived in Western Kansas When Ocean Covered State
The petrified and broken remains of a native inhabitant of Kansas, twenty million years ago, when this state was covered by the ocean, has recently been discovered near Aurora in Cloud county, Kansas.
The bones of this giant creature are now in the care of H. T. Martin, curator of the paleontology section at the museum at the University. Mr. Martin, who has been a collector of fossils for the past thirty years and is the author of a study of this specimen, has been able to reconstruct it so accurately that an idea of the life-like form of this "duck-like lizard" can be gained. By the size and structure of the vertebrae, and by the size of the big breast bone which resembles that of a bird, the length of the body is estimated to have been 10 feet.
Dr. Roy L. Moodie and Dr. S. W. Williston, formerly of the University of Kansas, but now at the University of Chicago, who are both authorities in paleontology, have examined this specimen and they unanimously agree that the creature is of a species bitherto unknown.
To science, the new species will be known as "Ogmodurus Martini," the first word indicating the genus, and the last word indicating the species to which it belongs. It estimates that his friend "Ogmodurus Martini" lived some 20,000,000 years ago. This statement is based upon the fact that the geological strata of the earth in which petrified bones were formed approximately that far back.
President Expects Many Marvinites to Attend Banquet
TO TAG ALL ENGINEERS
Tickets for the Engineers' banquet which is to be held Thursday evening, at eight-thirty, in Ecke's Hall, are selling fast, and from all indications the biggest crowd ever attending will be on hand to help celebrate that occasion. Tony James, a business executive with a corps of engineering students out selling the tickets for $1.25 each, and they are going fast at that price.
The following list of speakers was given out today by Clifford Sykes, president of the School of Engineering, and it includes local and imported materials.
Chancellor Frank Strong.

P. J. Kealy, manager of the Metropolitan Street Railway, Kansas City,
C. C. Williams will act as toastmaster.
Besides talks by these men there will be a number of speeches by the students in the department, and stunts by the various schools. The committee is planning a number of new and original stunts this year such as electrical, mechanical and civil sciences; and information announcements," said Tony James when asked what the exact nature of these stunts would be, "would be to take away the spice of the stunts when they finally did take place."
Some ill-luck had to result from the Aggie defeat Monday night and it came in the first event on the program when Roy Davidson severely sprained both wrists as he finished the thirty yard dash. The management of the Aggie gym had failed to put up a chance, but his team's "Davy" was coming at a terrific rate of speed he was unable to avoid a collision with the wall.

His arms took most of the shock of the stop and as a result Davidson will be unable to use either arm for some reason. He might have been paranoid and it is expected that he will be back in condition before the Missouri meet. An X-ray of the injury indicates that the neck is injured and that the only cause for the pain was the serious strain of the liga-

Wife of Former Y. M. C. A. Secretary Tells of Her Stay in Germany
A good insight into the life of Conrad Hoffmann, K. U.'s former Y. M. C. A. secretary who is now in Germany with his family doing Association work in the German prison camps, may help to explain last week from Mrs. Hoffmann by Mrs. Charles Kennedy, 1220 Louisiana street.
"I would write a book but the sensor forbids" is written across the corner of the first of the four page letter. It is also implied in the letter that it is useless to try to tell anything of economic conditions in the country because this handicap however, Mrs. Hoffmann is able to tell considerable of interest concerning Mr. Hoffmann's work and the life in the prison camps.
PRISON LIFE NOT PULL
Theatrical troupes, presenting productions with hand painted programs, with athletes and orchestas, are features among some of the best of the camps. All of the musical instruments are made by hand, one prisoner making fourteen violins himself, with a pennon. Athletes are also featured and there are cricket, baseball, football, soccer and gymnastics. The camp almost resemble big schools of adults for there are athletic fields, study classes, Bible classes and almost everything that goes to make up university social life. The Russian camps however are far below the average, the letter states, because of the ignorance of the men and the lack of camp workers who can speak Russian.
LOUISE LEARNS GERMAN
LOUISE LEARNES GERMAN
Shortly after Mrs. Hoffmann's arrival in Berlin, she and Louise her daughter of three, went to visit Mr. Hoffmann's family home. Thuringen, his ancestors have lived for generations. An uncle of Mr. Hoffmann's still lives in the old family home which is quite modern however, now, with its electric lights.
Louise, although only three, can already speak German like a native child, writes Mrs. Hoffmann, and the teacher has forgotten her native language by the time they return to America. All during the six months preceding Mrs. Hoffmann and Louise's arrival in Germany, she could speak English on one child that could speak English.
Missella Walldron, a senior at Washburn, was the guest of Lois Murphy Saturday as Missela Walldron, a senior at Washburn, were former school mates at Washburn.

FAVOR PREPAREDNESS
Students Vote for the Establishment of Courses in Military Science
Science
ONLY 300 BALLOTS CAS'
K. U. Public Inclined to Disregard Question Asked
The preparedness campaign which the International Polity Club has conducted to determine student sentiments on armament for the United States has left the Club in doubt as to opinion of the students. Only three hundred ballots were cast. A heavy vote was received in military science in American universities, substantial increase in armament for the United States, and the administrative program for increasing
The result of the questions follows:
1. Do you favor compulsory mili-
lary education? Do the students in
American universities
For; Men, 120; women, 7. Tota vote, 127.

Against: Men, 75; women, 11. Total vote, 86.
3. Do you favor compulsory military training for the students in American schools below the universities?
Kenneth Pringle, president of the Polity Club, said this morning that the campaign had been carried on that the club might learn the sentiment of the student body, that the club might learn whether the students were considering the question of the college if the students were not considering the question that it might be brought to their attention.

4. Do you favor a substantial increase in armament for the United States.
5. Are you in favor of the administration's program for increasing our funding?
Against: Men, 67; women, 12; Total vote, 79.
"I think," said Pringle, "that the result of the vote on the preparedness question shows either that the students have not considered the question and have no opinion on the matter, or else, the students are indifferent and did not give their opinion on the question."

Chairman of State Economy Committee Investigates Wants of Institution
TO PROPOSE ONE BUDGET
Hopes to Establish Efficiency In Handling Appropriations
Senator W. P. Lambertson of Fairview, chairman of the State Economy and Efficiency Committee, and Secretary of Agriculture, was created by the last legislature for the purpose of investigating conditions and needs of the different state governments, and to enact the next legislature as a result of their investigations.
The committee aims to establish a comprehensive, recognized system or the handling of the affairs or our state institutions", said Senator Bob Dole. The budget which will include all the departments of our institutions. As it is now we have a score of different budgets which make a cumberton method of handling the appropriate and tend to waste and inefficiency.
"The second main point of our program, will be an effort to concentrate and correlate the work of the "different departments in our schools." The larger appropriations or smaller appropriations than the educational institutions are now getting was the opinion expressed by Senator Lambertson. The program will be aided by the committee in the next legislature.
Senator Lambertson has visited practically all of the educational, penal and charitable institutions in the state since his appointment on January 30, 2014, days at the University looking into its needs and points of efficiency.
TO GIVE VARIED PROGRAM
Orchestra Will Offer a Classical and Popular Program Tonight
A program that is not only classical but also popular and varied will be presented to the music lovers of the University this evening at the annual mid-winter concert of the University orchestra.
The features of the program will be the cornet solo by J. C. McCanles, director of the orchestra, and a cornetist of more than local note, and the violinist of more than local note, Holmba and Kathrine Barber, student in the School of Fine Arts.
The program will not begin until after the close of the K. U.-Norman basketball game, and it will be possible to play without missing a part of either.
The orchestra consists of thirty-five pieces. The players have been practicing since the opening of the University in the fall and have attained a high degree of efficiency. While Mr McCalles is reticent about telling the students that they will put on it, it well understood by competent critics that the program will be much better than the ordinary programs of university orchestras.
That there is no possible chance for America to get into war with Germany from the point of view of either side, was the keynote of the speech delivered by Father Ziegentz Monday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Hall by Father Ziegentz of Gohram, Kansas. Father Ziegentz, who was a German, but is now a naturalized American citizen, has a possible point over which the interests of Germany and America could clash so as to bring about war. If America did go to war, he said that it would not be like any other interests would be much more likely to clash because of their holdings on the map. That the three million Germans in America would be the first to answer the call to arms against the other point strongly emphasized by Father Ziegentz.
No War With Teutons
Huntsman Haworth, a graduate student in the department of geology, has withdrawn from the University in order to take up the position of head recordist with the Chanute Record Office which has offices at Chanute and Tulsa, Oklahoma. He will probably be located at Tulsa.

Seniors Would Co-operate With Other Classes in Giving Memorial
5105. 00 NOW COLLECTED
Committee Is Engaged In Gathering Seniors' Dollars
Members of the senior memorial committee are considering the establishment of a fund, to be participated in by other classes, to provide something for the University of unusual merit and lasting benefit.
"The sentiment of the committee is against giving some trivial thing that will be of little value," said the chairman, Harold Mack, this morning. "We will try to get the three other classes to place their money in a fund, which will then be disbursement, with which we can purchase a clock, or chimes, or something like that."
Seniors have paid $105 in dollar assessments. Thirty dollars remains from collections due first three months, and counting company will receive dollars and surgensions;

ALL K. U. WILL DANCE
Arrangements Are Complete for Biggest Party of the Season In Gymnasium
All arrangements have been completed for the second All-University party and according to Mrs. Eustace Brown, she will surpass his stature as far as entertainment, music and entertainment are concerned.
"It is now up to the students to make the affair a success by coming Saturday night," she said this morning.
The University shops have been working all week on the decorations which will transform the Gymnasium into an old colonial ball-room. The committee on decorations will begin work Friday morning.
Red, white and blue are the colors which will predominate in the scheme. Flags and colored lights will be used in abundance. At each location the hat will be an illuminated picture of George and Martha Washington.
"While the decorations are alone, the same general line as those used last year, they will be much prettier time, I believe," said Mrs. Brown.
The entertainment will start promptly at 7:30. The School of Fine Arts will give a program the first part of the evening.
The next feature will be the minute dance performed by fifty students representing the different organizations and classes on the Hill. The former custom has been followed in having half fraternity and half non-fraternity students each. The pattern that has been practiced for about three weeks under the direction of Dr. Alice Goetz.
Her studying was almost finished and she wished to spend a pleasant afternoon. The weather, she thought, was ideal for a picture show, so down to the ground. She large, dark room boldly, walked cautiously down the center aisle and spying a vacant seat on the end of a row, slid quickly into it. In a quarter of an hour the first shower was over and the mirror to her hat said meekly, "I beg pardon. Miss, but may I have my hat?"
After the entertainment there will be a social dance for the remainder of the evening. The music will be furnished by the University orchestra. Punch will be served during the dance.

Of the cards turned in to the committee, practically 150 say that they will support by attending one, two, or three days of their entire hour. About 100 say that they favor chapel and are willing to attend but it is impossible for them to do so. The other day, at a chapel service, fewer days or at some other hour.
An increase in attendance at the morning services has resulted from the distribution of the ballots. Nearly 50% of the 15 present at this morning's service.

Prof. H. W. Nutt of the Oreat Training School has just returned from a trip to Chicago and Mattoon, Illinois, where, with Dean F. M. Freeman of the University of Chicago, he has made some amount of research on the pupils of the schools of both cities using his newly invented writing machine. With the data secured from these tests a comparison will be made of the quality and movement of the writing in the Grand Central system is used, with that of the writing in the Mattoon schools where copy books are used. Also comparisons will be made between the writing of children of different ages. Professor Nutt has, altogether, hired and fifty records from which to formulate his results.
The machine used in getting this data is one of Professor Nutt's own invention and measures the speed, amount, and rythm of writing methods.

TANGLE WITH NORMALS
Bill Hargiss Has Strong Aggregation and Hopes to Down Jayhawk
KANSAS TEAM CRIPPLED
Captain Cole and Kauder Out of
Game With Injuries
The crippled Jayhawker basket tossers will meet the Emporia Normals in Robinson gym tonight for the first time in several years. Although the Normals have a good team Coach Hamilton is not looking for much trouble in nabbing a victory. How-ever, they did not make up a percentage of their games this year and come tonight with that same id spirit, "Beat Kansas."
Two of the Kansas regulars will be on the side lines tonight. Cole injured a hand before the last Aggie series and has not been able to get into the game. He is also probably that he will not get in tonight but will be saved for the Missouri series which starts Monday night. Kauder, the latest "find at" against the Cardinals, is wounded hand in practice Monday night and will not be able to play until the Missouri series and possibly not then. No bones were broken in his left arm after the slightly causing a bad wound that will take some little time to heal.
The remainder of the squad is in good shape and will be ready to uphold the crimson and blue against the Teachers. Bill Hargiss has seen Kansas win a lot, but this time his men will be able to show Kansas a good game. He also admits that this is the best chance he has had for a number of years and maybe the last one he will have soon, so he is pointing his men to this game. He has not as good a team to work with as he has had in other years.
The game tonight sees the end of the season approaching. The two-game series with Missouri in Lawrence, Monday and Tuesday nights, will end the season. These two games will also have an important bearing on the Missouri Valley Championship and the Kansas Agile games in Manhattan Friday and Saturday nights. The original schedule called for the Aggie games to be played on Wednesday and Thursday and the games in Lawrence Friday and Saturday but this conflict with Mrs. Brown's party in the gym and the later dates were made. The teams will meet the men of Van Ghent because they will have a nice rest over Sunday after the hard Aggie games.
At the present time Nebraska claims the Valley title but Missouri is contesting the claim. Neither school has lost a Conference game and since they do not meet, the title is likely to remain contested. However, should the Kansas Aggies or K. U. defeat the Tigers the title will go to the Cowboys. The team favors a two game victory for the Manhattanists and even Coach Hamilton has high hopes for one victory over the Tigers.
The line-up for tonight will be: Gibbens and Kennedy, forwards; Uhrlaub, center; Nelson and Reber, guards.
The Phi Chi honorary medical externally announces the pledging of her service.
Open Check Stand Thursday
The managers of the Junior Prom will open a check stand in Fraser Hall tomorrow, which will be kept open each day between 300 and 400 hours.

There was never a good knife made of bad steel.-Poor Richard's Almanac
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1916
With five of the nine months of the last year gone for the seniors, a great many of them are beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as an organized senior class. There have certainly been few evidences of it this year. No smokers, no mixers and one dance that was none too successful, make up the sum total of the entertainments that have been furnished the seniors this year.
The last year that is spent at the University of Kansas should, if it is possible, be made the best year of the four, so that the impression left in the graduate's mind will be one of sorrow at the thought of leaving such pleasant surroundings. Most of us are busy, but not too busy to take in several more functions this year in a final effort to cement the friendships that have been all too slow in the making.
By "functions" it is not meant elaborate social gatherers but simple, get-together meetings where everyone meets on an equal footing and there is no feeling of restraint. It might take some real thinking to plan for a function of this sort and make it a success, but it is assured within the bounds of possibility.
It is customary for the senior class to go out in one grand blaze of glory at commencement, with all kinds of "doings." Graduating students have often expressed the regret that such affairs have not started sooner because at the very end of their school life, they have just begun to get acquainted with each other.
The senior class has it in its power to remedy this apparent defect by getting busy and getting busy at once.
HOLIER THAN THOU—
With the New York Tribune, David Starr Jordan and other notables over the country engaged in a useless discussion of "what are low-brows" the students of the University of Kansas can settle back in their seats and tell them to go just as far as they like.
Others may be low-brows, but we are not. Every body of students thinks that too, but we have the advantage of all the others in that we have proof that we are not low-brows. It's conclusive proof too, indisputable as what Sherman said war was.
But the proof-
A copy of "Pitching in a Pinch"
written by the world famous twirler,
Christy Mathewson, is in the stacks of
the library and has never been
checked out! And there is Bacon's
"Essays," nearly thumbed to pieces!
We are not low-brows.
NO RAGTIME TONIGHT
If you want to hear "Back Home in Tennessee" or "I Love You The Best of All," stay at home and run the Victrola.
But if you have a latent desire to hear some classical music—not too
classical—played by an orchestra that is right up to par, get out your student ticket and attend the concert given tonight by the University orchestra.
Prof. J. C. (Mac) McCanales has spent the entire winter working with the orchestra to get it into condition to put on a concert that will appeal to the musical appreciation of University students. A large number of students do not care to go to a concert for the purpose of hearing ragtime music that any pianist can pound out by the yard.
But it is a privilege to hear an orchestra of really trained musicians give such a concert as will be given tonight.
What would you rather do—or go fishin'?

RUSSIANISM
Russian music, Russian literature,
Russian color—all are upon us, sweeping over the United States and either improving or at least influencing our own art at every turn. It is the great period of Russian influence.
There is something great, something wierd, something vast and restless about the Russian arts. They cannot be refused recognition, and in recognizing them we must realize that at many turns we are being far surpassed by this great country of feeling and suppressed expression.
The Russian ballet with its accompanying vivid, daring, dazzling color so full of emotional qualities, is taking America by storm. It is all so distinctly a product of a country removed from us in feel and expression. We may hope to imitate it, but because it is not distinctly akin to our own emotions, we can never hope to equal it. The best we car do is to profit by it.
Russian literature has been recognized for some time on this side of the water, but it claims our attention even more at this time because of the sweep of Russianism. In its realism, vivid imagery and clear cut phrasiology it resembles the works of the masters of French literature. Among the recent Russian writers we have Turgenev, Pushkin, Gogoland, Andreyov, all alike in the national characteristics of force and color and brilliancy, all different in personal style.
Among the foremost of the Russian painters of the day is Victor Vanaseet-zov, noted for his brilliant coloring that almost verges onto Futurism, and for his bold conceptions and ideas.
The Russian ballet, coming to Kansas City in the near future, will offer the west the great opportunity of seeing the art that has given rise to such wide discussion. In the near future, also, we may expect to see as results of Russian art, more brilliant colors in wearing apparel, stage effects and decorations of all kinds.
It is the age of Russian influence. There is no resisting it.

Old Noah Webster says that a kiss is a gentle embrace, but goes on, brutally, to say that it may be the hitting of one billiard ball against another. He also says, harshly, that to kiss may mean: "to hit as when one kisses the dust."
Osculant, oscular, osculate, osculation, osculatory, osculating...all these words refer to kisses, kissers, and kissing.
KISSES AND KISSES
Then Noah goes on and remarks more gently, that a kiss may be a piece of cake or a sugarplum. (But—sh-h-y, if you put a small drop of sealing wax beside a seal on a letter it too means a kiss.)
Worse than all this, Noah—not old Noah, father of Ham and; but Noah Webster—says that a "kiss-me-quick" is a small bonnet or a curl. Maybe, maybe!
Maybe, maybe!

ATHLETICS FAILING
The discontinuation of active competition in athletics, in American universities, may soon be a reality. At times, the effect of competitive athletics on the been discussed by medical authorities.
Your publication for yesterday afternoon contains a report of a speech by Prof. McKeever, of the department of child welfare at the University, which he advocates for leadership in bringing picture shows, on the ground that "our greatest educational force" This may or may not be true,-personally I do not believe the movie to be even an active competitor, in matters educational, of the public education, but I have has the professor to believe that "who are running the motion picture business at present are not capable of bringing about the necessary change for better pictures? In the last five years the quality of the film dramas shown in Kansas has increased. And the cost of the pictures are at present the best and most artistic that it is possible to obtain. Competition has brought about this condition and with state ownership competition would cease. The moving picture has made the last decade of any other work exception of that of the manufacture of war munitions—and there is no reason to believe that this development will not continue . The evidence, on the other hand, all points to the fact that it will continue. We have started out to solve the movie problem and it doing it successfully—why need the state interfere?
As to the professor's plea that the state ownership would add a million dollars a year to the educational needs pick the movie show owners for their contribution. Why shouldn't the state take over all the drug stores, or the cigar shops, and operate them at a profit, and apply that profit toward purposes of education and not many men are doing their best to give them better and as long as they continue to do so it seems only fair that we let them alone. Every man has a right to run his own business as long as he keeps within the law, and when he knows he never done anything to deserve being put out of business—as far as I have been able to learn.
It is evident that the college man, who takes an active part in athletics, subjects his system to abnormal strains. He over-exercises and the greatest danger he faces is that of weakening his heart, causing a man's handicap in his life after he is out of work. A medical Society of the state of Pennsylvania, Dr. Robert N. Willson, of Philadelphia, said recently that the vital question involved in competitive athletics is the ultimate result upon the health and lives of the participants. In the past few years, many forty-five years, who achieved fame on the gridiron, or the basketball court, have died and a majority of them at a comparatively early age.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Movie Fan
But if it is scientifically and physically important that we abolish a competition, to guard against weakening the future university student, there is no doubt but that another effective mode of exercise will result.
Dr. Willison stated that he knew of no instance of the recovery from a major infectious disease in an athlete, except in a tynphoid epidemic at a university. He noted that of the undergraduates—probably not then shorn of their resisting forces—had made a successful fight and recovered. The older men, who had excessive participation power by excessive participation athletes, could not扔 off the disease.
CAMPUS OPINION
This is a statement of facts and the facts have made it plain, not only to the scientists, but to the average university student. Too strenuous athletics tends to weaken him for his life work. However, no scientist or physician will prescribe no athletics. Healthy exercise is essential to the university student.

The advice against active competition in athletics has not been directly made. However, the Germans have discontinued it in their universities and schools and it is believed that the German university student will be unable to compete in strenuous athletics, now one of the important sides of student life. Dr. Wilson believes that some day university and college authorities must, of necessity, conclude that no form of athletic event is sane which includes participation in the semiconious state of heart exhaustion at its conclusion.

UNIVERSITY WOMEN WRITE
MORE LETTERS THAN MEI
University women are far ahead of the men when it comes to corresponding with individuals of the opposite sex, if one may judge from the daily pass through the hands of the men. The man has been estimated that from one-fourth to one-third of the women get daily letters from "him," while the number of men who receive them is considerably less. It is difficult to judge how many of the men are consistent in writing the return letters, because so many of them are inclined to work down to the postoffice after night with the letter to "her" and thus depriving the mail carrier of his data.
Monday is the big day in the sending of letters both by men and women, thus pointing to the fact that all seem to regard Sunday as the proper time to write to "her" or "him" as the case may be. Even here the number of letters which the mail carrier gets is not truly indicative of the actual number because of the tenderness of men who take their Sunday evening walk to office in order that they may have the pleasure of seeing their token of remembrance safe in the keeping of the government.
Watching the stream of students Sunday evening from the Eldridge House corner makes an interesting speculation for any one interested and by using the imagination one can see young men and women all in some bite cutting across corners in some little house. To get to the office so that "he" or "she" in Lawrence may get the usual letter in due time.
Thermostat Arrives
A Freas water thermostat was received today at Snow Hall for use in the department of botany. This apparatus, invented some years ago by Dr. Freas of the University of Chicago is a machine for the electro-thermal control of temperature. It consists of a number of lights in a body of water which is protected from outside changes of temperature. When the lights are turned on, the water heats until a certain point is reached, when they are automatically extinguished only to be turned on again when the temperature falls a thousandth of a degree. With this thermostat it is possible to perform an experiment at practically even temperature throughout.
A time-saver in the shape of a cold-slaw cutter has come to the aid of the busy house-wife in the making of marmalade. The usual process of cutting the rind of grapefruit or orange in slender strips by hand is a time-consumer; the idea of running it through a meat grinder and makes an ill-looking piece, but the use of the slaw-cutter has solved the problem. The strips come out, uniform in size, thin as tissue paper, and very little time is consumed in the process.
SCRUBS THE PLATTER
"Make Your Business as Clean As It Looks," Says John Strong
Stuffed birds, mounted in small glass cases, will be furnished free by the University of Kansas to the public for use in nature study work. Accessible men will be printed descriptions of the habits and nature of the bird. The University's collection includes most of the birds living in the state and it provides a foundation to finish these specimens to schools which could not otherwise have them.
"Beware of making clean merely the outside of the platter," is the way John Strong, senior member of Strong Brothers' Grocery, 1021 Massachusetts street, explains that qualification matters in things that go to make up a well-patronized store. Profit for the grocer receives a secondary consideration.
Professor Kester of the Physics department will address the Geology Club at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. The subject subject will be "X-rays and the Study of Crystals." The lecture will be illustrated.

Twenty-five years of active service have served to make Mr. Strong an authority on grocery matters and he is the man who understands" of a grocery's life as few men can.
He is known as a progressive and successful business man. His new store, 117½ by 25 feet, containing approximately a stock valued at $8,000, sees the shifting of about $6,000 worth of business a month.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
"Success is based on understanding and good judgment," said Mr. Strong to a reporter. "Men come to me with no idea of the grocery business and want to know how to begin. To them it is merely the proposition of somebody they argue that everybody has to eat or stand why they shouldn't reap the profit. They forget that half the people never think of the grocer, except to order more groceries. When tell these beginners that the United States did 1913 list the grocers as 94 per cent failures, they retreat in a hurry.
"EVERYBODY EATS; BUT—"
The three great causes of failures are, credit, losses in perishable goods, and inexperience. Limited capital is another drawback to success. Profit in the grocery business is small and the responsibility large.
CASH BUSINESS BROUGHT CASH
CASH BUSINESS BROUGHT CASH
"I know a man in Tapeo who gave me so much credit that he went bankrupt. He financed his business on a cash, no delivery basis, and today he is out of debt and has a nice little balance in the bank. He is rated as a successful business man, but he was driven to it by necessity. Although I extend to keep my losses down to a minimum. They run one-fourth of one percent of the volume of business.
WOULD CHARGE FOR DELIVERY
the cost of delivery is another thing to be considered. I have figured that it could cost 5 per cent of the volume of business delivered deliveries a day. My idea is to do away entirely with free delivery and to charge the customer five cents for each order delivered. This would work to the advantage of both grocer and buyer. For instance: suppose a customer's order runs, I买 of cocoa, 3 lbs. rice, 25c; 1 lb. butter, 35c. We purchased a delivery cut down, I could reduce the cost of 41c; that of rice to 19c, and button to 32c; the cost of delivery to the purchaser would be 5 cents, netting him a saving of seven cents, or 7½ per cent on his investment.
INSTALLING NEW SYSTEM
Mr. Strong, at present, has a credit, bookkeeping system, which he intends to replace with an automatic, bookkeeping register, adding machine and bookkeeping system combined in one. This will eliminate errors that have heretofore crept in and will keep every business transaction before the eye of the grocer at all times.
"There is a great deal in letting the people see your goods," said Mr. Strong, whose windows, with their tempting display of fruit and vegetables, attract a good deal of attention. Mr. A. Martz, a clerk, is responsible for that, the credit for Strong gives him the money interest they have created. They are air-tight and dust proof and the fruit displayed there cannot pick up the dirt that it would if it were hung in the open.
Mr. Strong does not always take his business seriously; occasionally there is a little fun to be gotten out of it. For instance, there is the customer who is always trying to get something for nothing by claiming that it isn't good. That is the humor in the grotesque. It brings a smile to the face of the person to learn of the woman who ordered it, said he was bitter and returned a quarter of a pound. And of the woman who ordered a luscious forty-cent melon, phoned that it was overripe and when the delivery boy asked for it, he found it half eaten and the other in the icebox waiting for supper. Also in the icebox who ordered the can of tomatoes and who ordered can was delivered, the first was found on the stove in the process of preparation for the evening meal.
PAN-HELLENIC SMOKER TO ADVANCE GOOD FELLOWSHIP
"It will be the biggest and best ever," said "Duke" Kennedy, in speaking of the Pan-Hellenic team at F. A. U. Hall Thursday evening.
WHAT MAKES A GROCER LAUGH
HIS TEMPER STAYS SWEET
Such are the trifles to be contended with, but they haven't sourced the disposition to be Strong. He has been a Kansas boy from a memorable year, which ushered him into the life of a farmer. For the first few years he didn't take an active part in the work, but as soon as he became interested, he left the farm for a more lucrative line of business and began to succeed indeed. He began to sense groceries at the fourteen. He says that interest, stimulated by common sense, is a necessary element of success.
A fine lot of stunts have been prepared and the programs are now being printed. On account of the number of fraternities on the Hill, the program has been on the program each year has been adopted. This gives time for a more elaborate entertainment than otherwise. Sigma Chi, Pi Delta Tau, Delta Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Nu are on for stunts.
All fraternity men, "stray" and past Greekes on the hill or in town, are urged to come. The object is to become acquainted and promote better fellowship among the various organizations.

TRACK MEET THIS SPRING
"A real live field meet to be held the latter part of April, will be the spirit of April," Miss Hazel Pratt, sport, directs. "The indoor sports will close up soon, and then all women interested in golf would come out for out-door practice."
The meet will consist of ten or twelve events. Freshmen, sophomores, junior and seniors will compete in sprinting, hardling, throwing, running the high and broad jumps, running the relay and in several novelty events.
The basketball season closes the early part of March and then field practice will commence. The different basketball squads, some of the women now taking floor work, and several upperclass women are interested in making this affair a success.
Vernon H. Frank, a sophomore in the College, who has not been attending classes this week on account of sickness, went to the University of Minnesota where it was announced that he had attacked measles.

ON SOCIETIES (Reprinted by Request
At the Convocation next Friday there will be announced the names of the nine young women who, since their election last May, have constituted the committee. The Chair of the Torch is the Senior girl's honor society; and, although it is one of the influential societies in the University, there are many students who have doubtless never heard of it, or, having heard of it, have formed a band to play with them, however, the Torch is not only a secret society but a society devoted to an object which can be attained only on condition that the names of the members remain concealed during a mighty battle, be defined as an organization for promoting good causes in an unorganized manner.
This is certainly an age of organizations, an age of machinery, from the social as well as from the mechanical point of view. That organization is an excellent thing that way goes with machinery, for there are many opportunities that can be effectively done only through systematic cooperative effort. Yet there are some things that can be better done in other ways. For example, a Society for the Manufacture and Diffusion of Delicious and Malicious Scandal would designate a person who has existed. A member of such a society would at once be suspect; no one would believe anything he might say about any one else. Now this, in general, is the defect of all organized parties and societies, that its members are likely to be judged in terms of the interests of the party or society, parentee or friend, time she himself may be attributed to them. If a newspaper, let us say, denounces President Wilson's Mexican policy the argument may seem plausible until you learn that the editor is the chairman of the Republican county central committee. Or perhaps a student, at election time, shows himself purposely friendly to you, and incidentally dilates on the excellent qualities of a certain candidate for office. Who is that fellow? you askOh, he is an Alpha Delt. That place him. You discount everything he said. It is the same with good cause as with bad. Young people are unlikely indigenies against the practice of late parties or cheating in examinations; but if it transpires that she is President of the Y. W. C. you shrug your shoulders. Or course she has to talk like that. The penalty of being identified with a society is that one's conduct is not to be judged, not on its interest, but in terms of the interests or the obviable binds of the society. The individual becomes submerged in the organization.
How fine it would be, then, if every student would, on his own initiative and apart from any party or class or society, set himself to work directly esthetically in the Department, as best while in the University. It was precisely to effect this end, in part at least, that in 1912 a group of senior girls formed themselves into the society called The Torch. It was to be a society without any object as a society, without any organized interests to serve; not so much a society as simply a group of girls, prominent in the affairs of the *University*, and recognized leaders among the women students, who were to bind themselves to work individually, on their own hook, for those thinks that were obvious in the society. In this reason the society as an organization had to be kept in the back ground, had to be a kind of self-denying organization; and for this reason it was necessary that the names of the members should not be generally known.
The Torch consists, so far as the active society is concerned, of nine girls, elected each May by the retiring members and a committee of the faculty. At least seventy hours credit is given to leadership, proven capacity for leadership, and discussion to take an active part in what are called Student Affairs, are the qualifications for membership. The charter members of the Torch were Lucie March, Isabel Thames, Grace Wilkie, Helen Burdick, Nell Martindale, Mae Rossman, Gale Gossett, and Nelle O'Connor. The office of president has been held by Lucie March, Emily Zwick, Marie Sealy, and Marie Hedrick. In all matters of vital import to the University the members of the society have taken an active individual interest; but they have devoted themselves more particularly, perhaps, to the promotion of a proper attitude towards matters as honesty in examinations, the subordination of social functions and amusement to the more fundamental work of the college, the observance of social regulations, and in general to the inculcation of the spirit of loyalty to the University and its abiding interests. And during the period of the 1960s the accomplished by the members of the society, in a quiet way, along all of these lines.
It is not for the purpose of calling attention to the society of The Torch that these remarks are printed, but to point out what is wrong, I will adopt for himself the purpose which gave rise to The Torch,—might well assume a sense of personal responsibility for the promotion of good causes. And therefore let itself be forced to wear the Torch itself, and remember only the punishment which inspires it.

Jayhawkers Will Compete In Annual Contest—Rodkey to Run Against Merideth
GERMAN VS. ENGLISH
In his latest book, "Oralde Bar Bok," he delivers the English political reformer across one chapter to a communication from a German student of the English form of government, which is of particular interest to all American readers, in that the basic idea of English government is that government in the United States—the belief that sound, crystallized public opinion by the masses, based on comprehensive discussion and thorough research, is the ideal control for government. German government also adheres and shows its inefficiency in the opinion of the expert and a thorough confidence in him by the masses. To prove his point he cites the greater loyalty of the German government to the English form of government inefficiency of the English government's conduct of the struggle.
The case that he makes out for his government is a strong one. He seeks out the vital defects of democratic system and flays its efficiency with pitiless and unanswerable logic. And the worst of it is that he is right. In the present war popular opinion says that it is up to the people of England to show that they are capable of ruling themselves and that it is not necessary to depend on a bureaucracy of highly trained specialists.

After four and a half years of careful investigation, costing about $500,000, a committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce has reported that it is utterly impractical to electrify the steam railroad terminal in that city. Technically it could be done, but financially it is out of the question. The investigation was probably the most exhaustive ever made in the country for a similar project, and it could far the pollution of the air was due to railroad locomotives, and what it would cost to electrify the terminals.
The committee finds that electricity would subtract only 1,291,282 homes and 886 new consumed annually in that city and the cost of the change would be $354 million.

Ireland Submits Plans to Enlarge Future Work of Student Book Exchange
PERMANENT HOME LATER
Board of Administration Asked to Help Further Scheme
The students' book exchange is to have quarters of its own by the end of the semester, if the plans of Neal Ireland and his committee materialize. They are also making plans to enlarge it into a general supply store for permanent building erected especially for the purpose in the future.
As soon as the Student Council passes upon the plans, they will be submitted to the State Board of Administration. They will be asked to provide a suitable place for immediate use at the campus, probably in Fraser Hall.
Following is the draft of plans that is to be presented to the Board:
1. The control of the store shall be vested in a board of directors, which shall consist of the president of the Men's Student Council, and two face-masked officers appointed by the Chancellor (or Senate) The Chancellor shall be member ex-officio.
2. The management of the store shall be vested in a manager, appointed by the board of directors, which manager shall be paid on a commission basis. He shall have full charge of the details of the business and shall provide his own help which consist only of University students.
3. The capital of the store shall be provided through the sale of stock in the store, which stock shall sell at $1. a share. (The capital stock shall be limited to $1000. Any faculty mem- ber of Kansas, and any student of the University of Kansas shall be entitled to purchase stock*in the store.)
5. Only purchases of 25 cents and over will be recorded for a dividend, and the dividends will be declared on the basis of the amount purchased
4. Books shall be sold at the regular market rate, and on May 15th of each year the dividends shall be declared, and the year's profits of the store rebated to the stockholders and the purchasers.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 25, 1916.
6. Rebates will be made to all purchasers of books, at the co-op store but the rate of rebate made to new stock is one half that made to stockholders
Must Register To Vote
7. All profits remaining after a dividend of 15 per cent has been declared, shall be placed in a sinking fund, which shall be for the purpose of creeding a building for a permanent Co-op store.
Students as well as other citizens a lawrence must be registered in order to vote in the coming, municipal election, according to City Attorney Tom Blake this last year and has not changed his residence he need not register again.
Only those students, however, who live in Lawrence or who have declared their permanent residence to be Lawrence can vote in Lawrence. Prof. C. Hall says that one may vote here in state elections and have his ballot sent home.
Don Soxman Improves
Don Soxman, who withdrew from the University last semester on account of a nervous breakdown, is improving slowly. Soxman suffered a severe nervous attack just before the Christmas holidays and has been at his home at 1229 New York street since that time.
FAMOUS EASTERN CIVIL ENGINEER WILL SPEAK
"The Industrial Development of the West," is to be the subject of a popular lecture given by F. H. Newell, head of civil engineering at the University of Chicago, and by E. R. Hall, in Marvin Hall. Mr. Newell was the director of the recent reclamation work, finished in the west under the auspices of the United States Geol. Society, and he will have a large number of slides to illustrate his讲座.
Mr. Newell has made a special study of this question and those who attend the lecture will not only hear many new points about the undeveloped west but an interesting talk by a fine speaker. The lecture will be open to all the University and to the people of Lawrence.
NOTED POET COMING
Seumas MacManus, Journalist Author and Reader to Lecture Monday
TO GIVE IRISH READINGS
"Is the Biggest Speaker of the Year," Hamilton
Seumas MacManus, Irish poet,
journalist and author, will speak in
Fraser chapel Monday afternoon at
4:30 on "Stories of Irish Fairy and
Folk-Lore." He will also give readings
from his own prose and verse.
F. R. Hamilton of the Extension Division has been trying for over a year to secure this noted Irish writer, and only this morning received a telephone call from him that he could be in Lawrence Monday afternoon. Professor Hamilton says that he feels fortunate in securing this speaker at this time and considers Seumas MacManus as one on the Hill this year.
The Irish writer has visited a number of American universities. The Columbia Spectator of Columbia University says of his visit there, "In a series of six lecture-recitals, the spell of his poetry, the enchantment of his prose, his quintet and beautiful tales, he has elicited audiences charmed." The Democratic leader Wisconsin says, "He charmed the University Club dinners with a talk utterly unlike any other literary treat they have ever had."
The latest book to be issued by the Irish author, poet and journalist is "Yourself and the Neighbors." His other books are "In Chimney Corers," "Donegal Fairy Stories," and "The Red Poacher."
Seumas MacManus as a child and youth and young mountain schoolmaster sat at the feet of the Shanacies in bairn turf-fires, and lived the life of the people, till he was saturated to the finger-tips with the Celtic spirit.
MOVIES INVADE SACRED
EDUCATIONAL PRECINCTS
The Chemical Club went to a picture show yesterday afternoon in Fraser Chapel, entitled, "Putting It All Back," which was loaned by the Perth Amboy Chemical Works and although the story was part fictional and somewhat allegorical it gave some facts about the manufacture and uses of formaldehyde.
At this meeting Dr. E. H. S. Bailey delivered an illustrated "enure on the "Agricultural Chemistry" dealing with the modern methods of dealing with smuts by the use of formaldehyde.

Are you going to remain passive and allow every student and faculty member in the University to waste a valuable half-hour every morning next year as they do this?
It all rests with you
I' S U ME WASTED
For ten years morning classes began at 8:00 o'clock; then a half hour was cut off every morning in order that chapel might begin at 8:00 o'clock. The result was that an average of seventy students attended chapel at this time, and the other twenty-eight hundred sleep fifteen minutes later every morning.
The plan of having classes begin at 8:30 o'clock and chapel at 8:00 has not been successful from any standpoint. Chapel at this hour has not reached the students for whose benefit it is intended. The people who attend at 8 o'clock are representatives from organizations who are required to be present and a few religious inclined students who attend for their own pleasure and who would attend at any hour at which chapel were placed.
The price of an 8:00 o'clock chapel has been too great from the standpoint of University incurses to justify its continuation. The price that has been paid is a loss of fourteen hundred hours a week.
But the 8:00 o'clock hour will never attract the average student of the University.
Chapel at any other hour of the day will be as successful as it has been this year at 8:00 o'clock. One hundred and fifty students say that they will attend chapel at 8:00 o'clock—one hundred and fifty students out of nearly three thousand. Would not this many agree to attend at any other hour specified by the committee?
If nothing is to be lost for chapel and everything is to be gained for the University, let us in common sense put classes back to the old hour of 8:00 o'clock.
It is up to you.

Final Plans Are Worked out for Big All-University Party Tomorrow Night
WILL BE FUN FOR ALL
The final practice for the minute has been held and the finishing touches in the transformation of Robinson Gymnasm into a colonial garden are being rapidly finished in readiness for the second annual All-University party, which will start tomorrow night at 7:30.
Annual Affair In Student Hands
—Faculty Will be Guests
The party is free, and it is the hope of Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, that every student and faculty member of the University will attain non-costume affair and there will be entertainment provided for everyone.
Contrary to the usual order the faculty members will be the guests of the evening and the students the hosts and hostesses. The only members of the faculty in the receiving line besides Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Butterbeer will be Dean and Mrs. H. L. Butterbeer of the School of Medicine, Dean and Mrs. F., J. K. Schmidt of the School of Education. This opportunity will be taken to present these new faculty members to the students. The others in the receiving line will be: Mrs. Eustace Brown, Ray West of the School of Medicine, Willa Schmidt of the School of Fine Arts, C. B. Sykes of the School of Engineering, A. D. Hillman of Law, Gene Cook of the School of Education Homer Herriott of the College and representatives of the Graduate School and School of Education.
The Board of Administration was extended an invitation to attend the party but will not be present.
A COLONIAL SETTING
A colonial garden is what the University people will see when they enter the gym tomorrow night through a latticed old-fashioned archway. The rough edges of the crude gymnasmium and old-fashioned treadlences. In our room, you can be an old fashioned well where the thirsty dancers will find ice cold water. In another corner the guests will be served punch by a delegation of female women and so on throughout the morning building will the colonial setting begin.
The affair may rightly be called the "student Party" an everything will be received line, they have designed the programs and decorations, will make and serve the punch, as floor com- and furnish most of the program.
Illuminated pictures of George and Martha Washington will grace each end of the gymnasium and a large ili- decoration flag will be a part of the decoration names. Red, white and blue will be the painted colors of the decorations.
A floor committee composed of the presidents and secretaries of the four classes will assist in directing the guests to the different points of interest, answer any questions that may arise, and introduce the. The following student委员会. C. A. Randolph Joan Juaqua, J. E. Carolen McNutt, Linus Fitzgerald, Ethel Scott, J. T. Pringle, and Rose Haworth.
The following women dressed in colonial costume will serve punch: Hazel Carson, Nellie Kennedy, Luella Cory, Grace Bell, Evelyn Strong, Cora Gault, Emma Wyland, and Stella Simmons.
The entertainment will start at 7:30 with a program by members of the School of Fine Arts. The ar- ture for this part of the schedule are in the theater of Dean H. L. Butter and some pleasing musical numbers are assured.
Following the Fine Arts program the grand march will take place and it will be followed immediately by the minuet. Over thirty students will take part in this classic dance. It was hoped to have every organization on the Hill represented in this afair, with several groups failed to provide their representative. A successful effort was with Alice Goetz and the others in charge, to get an equal number of Greek and non-Greek students in the minuet.
After the minute the remainder of the evening will be devoted to a social dance, in which all who care to, are made to take part. A snappy program of techno music has been arranged and the University orchestra will furnish the music.
The running track in the gym has been arranged for spectators and those who do not care to dance. There will also be an abundance of seating room on the first floor for those not danced.
The east end of the first floor of the gym has been reserved for the open student coat room and the east door to the student's dressing room. The women guests' dressing room in the west end of the building will be the coat room for the women guests. James Naimiths' office will be used for the women's guests' dressing room.

"The good walking ill the blood, sppe on the brow—Sp. but no the sweet on the brow—Sp.
SPEAKING CARELESSLY
"R. L. S." whose philosophy cheered many thousand of his admirers, while his own life was being eaten up by disease, once wisely said that no one should be allowed to use the English language because everybody handled it so miserably. To the reporter who has suffered from people who cannot make themselves understood, his words carry double force.
The Daily Kansan is often accused of being inaccurate, and in many cases, it lays itself open to that criticism, because all the men and women who work on the paper are human. On one of the recent occasions where the Kansan has been harshly criticized, the information that was printed about one of the professors leaving the University, was given to the reporter by a member of the same department in which the professor had been working for many years. It would be the natural presumption that the Kansan's informant knew what he was talking about. Yet the Kansan was in error in the story.
As it was in "Hamlet," even Polonius, garrulous old man that he was, recognized this need, when he said to Laertes: "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice."
It may be a sweeping statement, but most of us are entirely too prone to talk carelessly, and to say too much or too little.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
K U?
There are at present twenty-six hundred students enrolled in the University of Kansas. How many of them know the little commonplace things of interest that they should know about the University's history, and its present status? How many know when the' University was founded, and by whom? How many know the approximate number of Engineering students in the University? Should it not be a part of our education to know something of the life about us, and in which we live for four years?
We little realize our lack of knowledge along such lines until we meet some one who is not familiar with the University. To persons one meets on the train, or in one's home town, or the visitor to Lawrence from out in the state, one can talk but a few minutes without having such questions come up. Then one begins to realize that although he has been studying the various forms of Latin roots, the Darwinian theory, the constellations of the heavenly bodies, the constituents of various chemicals, yet he cannot answer such a simple question as "Who is Dean of the School of Engineering?" or the College, or some other School."
The University of Kansas has a splendid standing for scholarship among the foremost institutions of
learning in the United States. To know something of their future Alma Mater is not an unworthy ambition of the students enrolled in it. It will bring the student into closer touch with the University, will make him think more of his college days, if he can tell, ten years from now, some interesting facts concerning the school as it was when he matriculated.
Let us not, then, in the rush for other knowledge, forget to learn just a little about our school.
THE PREPAREDNESS BALLOT
The pacifists in viewing the result of the International Polity Club campaign to learn student opinion concerning preparedness may still claim that the people of Kansas are not deeply concerned in the question of immediately increased armament. At least, this is true in so far as the students of the University of Kansas are concerned.
It is to be regretted that the students did not take a greater interest in this question which is being given so much attention by the thinking men of the day. As yet there has been no sure way of knowing the sentiment of the people of Kansas either on the question of substantial increase in armament for the United States or as to the attitude of the people in regard to President Wilson's administrative program. It has been repeatedly said of Kansas that her citizens are of the strongly pacific type. Not only is the Governor of the state an ardent advocate of pacifism, but likewise the head of the University of Kansas.
The K. U. Polity Club had hopes of finding out whether the students at the University were of the same mind in regard to the preparedness question as Governor Capper and Chancellor Strong. In this the club has not been successful. They have found out, apparently, that students don't care much one way or the other.
ARE YOU DEMOCRATIC?
University life is what we make it,
what you make it.
If there is any lack of democracy, unity and school spirit, it is your fault. The All-University party last year was an undoubted success, and hether it will be or not this year depends upon you. Last year everyone with an ounce of interest in University life attended. Those who could not dance watched the others, had refreshments and wandered around talking with faculty and student friends. Those who could dance enjoyed themselves with that, as well as with the other features of the evening.
Dates went to it, and those without dates went without them. Numerous crowds of men and women attended in body. The All-University party is not a formal affair to which University women need feel embarrassed for the lack of an escort. It is not quite to be expected that every woman in the University would have a date for it, or that every man will care to make one, but this is no excuse for staying away. The University party is for the whole University body. It is the greatest affair of the year at when you may show your democracy and interest in University life. For the sake of the University do not miss it.
We wonder if every rain at Columbia brings memories of the M. U. vs. K. U. football game as it does to some of us on this side of the line.

REAPING THE WKIRLWIND
The 12:30 whistle was sounded the noon hour and the halls of the University buildings were filling rapidly with hungry students hurrying to dinner. Everyone was talking and the attentive listener was able to pick up many bits of rapid conversation. Two freshmen came out of a class-room, and one remarked to the other: "Gee, but that is going to be a soft course; all we'll have to do is attend class now and then." And behind them followed two women, with worried looks on their faces, who were explaining to each other that they saw no play ahead if they were to pass the course.
These two expressions probably will be verified inversely at the end of the semester. The student, who invariably makes up his mind at the beginning that no work will be necessary, pulls down a "flunk;" but the student, who sees the work ahead, bends to the task and applies himself, usually gets a "I."
LATIN AND THE PROFESSIONS
"College doesn't makeools; it develops them. It doesn't make bright men; it develops them. A fool will turn out a different sort of a fool. college or not, though he'll probably turn out a different sort of a fool. And a good, strong boy will turn out a bright, strong man whether he's worn smooth in the grab-what-you-want-and-eat-standing-with-one-e y e-skinned-for-the-dog school of the streets and stores, or polished up and slicked down in the give-you-order t-o-the-waiter-and-get-a-sixteen-course dinner school of the professors. But while the lack of a college education can't keep No. 1 down, having it boosts No. 2 up." From "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to his Son," by George Horace Lorimer, present editor of the Saturday Evening Post.
That man succeeds best in any profession who has acquired the best habits of work and the keenest ability to think clearly. Latin with an inspiring teacher quickens the habits of observation, develops reasoning power, and makes one exact in his thinking and expression of thought.
And, the warm, lazy spring days are coming.

"The most practical result that can be reached by a course of education is training the mind to think quickly and to draw correct conclusions from the data presented to it by any problem. This should not only be taught by the honest study of the Classics," says William F. Magil, professor of physics of Princeton.
"I say advisedly, and as a result of experience, that I was enabled to attack and solve the problems of engli-
shing by using the discipline of a Latin training."
Secure in your boy the right kind of mental organization and you enable him as a man "to go anywhere and do anything."
A doctor, too, gets on much better if he knows Latin terms, because medica is the word for medicine. This is true of both diseases and remedies. The word "inflammation" for example, means "to be on fire," a "burp-burp" is from Latin "carbo"—a live bean.
Certainly you have noticed when you have gone into a drug store that labels on the bottles on the shelf are largely Greek and Latin? Prescriptions, too, were originally written in Latin, and not in Greek. Surely the physician who does not know Latin learns his technical language only as a jargon.
"I consider Greek and Latin essen- tial to a physician—especially Latin," says John B. Deaver, surgeon, Philo- cphalia.
But further, suppose your boy is to become a lawyer; then Latin will give of experience in the legal record today merely a translation of a Latin document. Even when reading about lawsuits in the paper, you find many legal cases from ancient times met with "habaes corpus," "mandamus," and "quo warrants."
Supposing your boy is planning to adopt engineering as a profession, you will be interested in the statement of expertise Corded, civil engineer of note:
Business men, journalists, ministers, statesmen, and scientists, thousands of the best of these men, testify sincerely to the practical benefits of Latin as an aid to their professions. Will you then, lightly disregard Latin as claiming a legitimate place in the education of your child?
"The law demands exact expression and a course in Latin is unquestionably a means to that end." says J. Sayer, of the Court of Common Pleas, Pittsburg.

PICTURES ROUSE INTEREST
Snapshots of Vanity Fair Competitors Appear on Hill
The appearance of the big show case containing kodak pictures of all but seven of the contestants in the Vanity Fair Contest caused a great increase of interest in the selection of the ten persons who are to occupy the Vanity Fair section of the Jayhawker, according to Ross E. Busenkard.
There will be a daily announcement of the standing of the contestants in the show case for the first three days next week. After that time the standings will be kept secret until the final round where at which time the successful candidates will appear. The contest closes at 6 o'clock, Friday, March 3.
The Jayhawker management says that the contestants at the present time are still very well grouped. There is a difference of only about 5,000 votes between the two extremes. Some of the contestants now standing in front are having their votes hold back in order to make a firing finish.
That votes might be cast with more convenience a ballot box has been installed in the office of the box that is in the Jayhawker office. ...Votes may be cast in either of these places all next week. Ballots to be voted on areaker or officer or from the contestants.
E. M. Johnson announces that an entirely new display feature will make its appearance next week. A task force is set up to the effect that each organization that has paid its dues will receive 1,000 votes if it has taken a single page or 1,500 votes if it has taken two pages. The organizations will decide whose candidate or candidates to cast their votes at their regular meetings.

The Emporia Normal's defeated K U. in basketball last night.
The game was important in several ways besides the 36 to 25 score which the Emporarians roller up, in a play by "BIL" Hoggis, a former assistant to Coach Hamilton, and the honor of being the first—and probably the last—non-Conference basketball team to defeat Kentucky in years. Years Coach Hamilton has been here.
From the start the game looked bad for Kansas, for the visitors took a two point lead on the Holt, Kennedy, Kowalski. The team was opened for the Crimson and Blue. By the middle of the period it looked worse, and by the end of the half it resembled a funeral, the score standing 22 to13 with Kansas on the short
The start of the final half looked fine for Kansas, for Gibbens, Pattinson, and Uhlrubl got budy and narried down to five points. Then the Kansas attack stopped and the Teachers resumed. The second period closed with a total of twelve points for Kansas and half and fourteen for the Emporiums.
As an individual scorer and star, Cross, the Teachers' right forward, gets the prize. A total of ten field goals by the team have peved one's contribution to his team's score. Culter of football fame ran a good second with six.

SUGGESTS MEMORIAL PLAN
Dean Templin Would Spend Money for Beautification
That appropriations for memorials from the graduating classes could be used to better advantage than they are now, if given toward the goal of the college, the belief of Dean Olin Templin of the College. His suggestion is the abolition of annual individual gifts by the senior class, and that the amount raised for this purpose be planted in planting trees and shrubbery.
"I think that if the graduating class could add, say, two hundred or two hundred and fifty dollars each year toward the improvement of a building would be a long step in the right direction," said the Dean yesterday.
"True, the memorials already given have been and always will be appreciated, but if enough money could be obtained we would have a campus that would be one of the best in the country—even better than it is now. If every senior class takes a trip to a museum or perhaps a certain part of the Hill the buildings and sections that now look so barren would be greatly benefited. Take the south slope back of the Gymnasium, for instance. There's a place that would look a whole lot better if some trees were growing
KEEP EVERY PICTURE
You've been saving every one? Perhaps. Get all of your kodak pictures out to night and count them. Try to remember the ones you took and saved from last year's kodakaking; the football games to which you carried a kodak and were so careful to get a snap-shot of; the winter seals of the campus; time-exposures taken in your room. Where are they? You've lost several, the ones you wanted most? Had you kept each picture in $p$

Those pictures you are keeping now in that old stationery box, get them out, and arrange them in one of our memory books.

JOIN THE CHORAL UNION
"We want more people in the Choral Union," said Prof. John N an der Vries "a morning, "there is music that can be read music or even carry a tune."
The Choral Union will practice Tuesday night at 7:30 in the Lawrence high school auditorium. Preparation will begin immediately on Gounod's "The Redemption" to be given as part of the Easter concert Summer School April 15-28 in Robbins Gymnasium. All the Lawrence churches will cooperate with the Choral Union in the Easter services.
"There are about 130 persons in the Choral Union," said Professor Van der Vries, "but we should like more; this is a good practice for those who need to try to sit at the fall. Persons not allowed to sing at home can sing in the Union, and there are no fees or try-outs."

The K, U, women are playing a first class game, and unless the "Polytecks" have something new in basket-
ball ammunition, the K,U women will
only take the long end of the score.
The team which goes to Kansas City has never been defeated. Practically the same women played an ill-tickorous schedule as freshmen, and so far this year they have won by large margins. They work together, for example, in the defender's whistle turns on the power and a center arm tips the ball into a second center clutch which hurls the leather globe through space to a forward receiver; this receiver hoists the ball up in the air and it falls down through a big iron hoop; then the referee's seconds. The women are quick, level headed, and the forwards have an aim that exasperates all opponents.
Since the Polytechnic women demand, for the game tonight, a field divided in three sections, the efficiency of the sophomore work will be lowered. The University women have always used a court separated in balves, with the centers running all over the field. This makes a match better better, by reducing the number of line fouls and giving the players a greater range of activity, than the contest staged for tolight.
"I am very optimistic about the game," commented Coach Hazel Pratt. "Of course it is impossible to know what might develop at the game, but I up to their mark I believe we will get a score satisfactory to us, at any rate." The sophomore lineup for tonight is: Irene Tihen, Thuren Endacott, Katherine Richard, forwards; Dorothy Tucker, Luey Richards, centers.
CITY ENGINEERS TO K. U.
Board Approves of Plan to Open School Here March 13
--are sold exclusively in Law rence by
The merchants and the editors of Kansas will not be the only ones who will come to the University for a week's training under special instructors in the schools, classrooms, and laboratories. We plan to present them at the Board of Engineering has been approved by the Walker of Administration. Invitations will be sent out to all the city engineers, superintendents of water works, public utilities commissions, and managers of municipal plants, to convene at Lawrence for the week beginning March 13.
The speakers for the occasion have not yet been announced, but a number of noted engineering authorities of Kansas and a few from other states as a number of University professors, will lecture before the visitors.
The question of paving and macadamizing of various sorts will be discussed thoroughly, and tests of the various materials used in paving will be tested in the laboratories. These tests will be required for the analysis of water supplies, the testing of limestone and concrete. Special courses in construction work for county and town commissioners will be offered, and the special apparatus for the testing of water and electric meters will be at the disposal of the district.
Special moving picture films have been engaged for the week, showing the mining, finishing and laying of asphalt, and the laying of concrete. These processes are taken up in detail, and the work of laying these two kinds of pavements is shown in the latest and best manner.
Charles A. Pedroda, who finished his course in Pharmacy here in 1966, was back on the hill Monday looking over his old haunts and shaking off the dust of the "old boys" Mr. Pedroda is now located at Hill City, Kansas.
From letters sent, out from the dean's office, the prospective attendance will probably be at least two hundred for the entire week.

Contest to Give Women Chance to Make Up Gym Credit
The first swimming meet ever attempted by University women is being planned, the swimmind in May, and will take place in May. Relays, races, dives and all sorts of stunts will be worked up to make this meet exciting and interest-
"All women wishing to learn new strokes for the swimming meet should turn out while the water is low in the pool for the next four or five weeks," she said. "We are offering an interclass match, is a new thing with the women of the University and I hope all the swimmers will go for it. It is very probable that these same women will work up a regatta to take place." Lake during commencement week.
Ward Gardner, '19 College, received a visit from his father Dr. M. M. Gardner last Thursday and Friday. Dr. Gardner decided to stretch his Topeka business trip to Lawrence and surprise his son.
"All women who wish to remove their gym condition given because of their inability to swim, also have a chance, for the last time this semester, that they are fitted. It is not given for the dog paddle," concluded Miss Pratt. "A woman must have a real stroke which she can use the length of the pool."

MEREDITH WENT DOWN
Olympic Runner Lost Race to Rodkey of K. U.-New Record Set
NUMBER 102.
RELAY TEAM WON TOO
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 28. 1016
Victors By Half a Lap Over
Huskers and Aggies
The defeat of the great and mighty, Ted Meredith, a half lap relay victory over Nebraska and the Kansas Aggies and the victory West Virginia held in the 1000 yard handicap run, are a few of the things the K. U. track squad accomplished at the annual K. C. A. C. indoor meet in Convention Hall in Kansas City Sat.
Of course the three, Rodkey's great feat stands paramount. Winner of the 800 meter run in the 1912 Olympic games at Stockholm, winner of the 440 yard run in the senior national championships at San Francisco, last summer, victor in both the 440 and 880 in the intercollegiate affairs of the Olympic federation of the accomplishments of Meredith. But Saturday night his best was an "also ran" head in the Sunday Star.
MIGHT HAVE BEATEN EBY
As great a showing as Rodkey did make against the Pennsylvanian, many friends of the Jayhawk phenom are now sorry that he did not "run" Eby the winner instead of Meredith. Many who watched the race Saturday night are confident that if Rodkey had stayed back and had been able to have sprinted at the finish and beaten the Chicago Athletic Club runner who passed him on the final lap and won by a scant four yards. But Rodkey says he is satisfied. The four yard margin between him and Eby only represented two-fifths of a second in the playoff shares with Eby in breaking the Convention Hall half-mile record made by Melvin Shepard two years ago.
To return to the relay team which also can advance a considerable claim to distinction, by reason of the new rules against Sunday night. But perhaps the real importance of their work was the second better record established over that of the Tiger quartet. And this minus Rodkey, so Kannan said, is the greatest victory over the Tigers in that St. Patrick's day jubilee. Jack Elliott, Leland Fiske, Humpy Campbell, and Dummy O'Leary composed the record breaking moment added another cut to the trophy room by reason of their performance.
WELSH A COMER
The victory of Welsh, while not affecting Varsity athletics this year, may be hailed as a sign of a coming successor to Rodney in the distances won in spring 1917. Chicago Athletic club, Missouri Varsity, Kansas Aggies, and representatives from numerous other teams participated in U. 18 boy in his 1000 yard victory.
A summary of the events in which Kansas scored, follows:
In addition to the victories scored by the K. U. squad Saturday night, the meet gave many a serious minded Jayhawker track follower a chance to win Missouri in the hurdles, fifty yard dash, shot put, pole vault, and high jump. The Tiger victory in the hurdles and sprints were to be expected from the Rochester-treated Reber in the shot put and of Pittam of football fame who tied Treweeke in the high jump; these were a couple of bad surprises uncovered by "Indian" Schute. It was convincing that a good Reber meet is to be far from any cinch.

IGERS SURE OF GAME PARTY A BIG SUCCESS
Missourians Come to Lawrence After Even Break With Kansas Aggies
JAYHAWKER IS HOPEFUI
Two Games With Missouri End
K. U. Season
Although the Missouri Valley basketball championship wrangle was definitely settled last week in favor of the Cornhuskers, the two game series between Missouri and Kansas which starts tonight in Robinson gym will be one of the most interesting of the reason. The games will most likely be hosting on the local court if the advance dope counts for anything.
The Tigers with Coach Van Ghel arrived in Lawrence yesterday afternoon and spent the evening resting up after the two strenuous games with the Aggies on Friday and Saturday before the game for the Missouri squad played the game of their lives on Saturday night which is shown by the fact that they humbled the Aggies 25 to 10 after defeating defenders seven to eight and 27 to 17. Both games were hard fought and had an important bearing on the Valley title. Missouri needed both games to substantiate her claim against Nebraska in a game beginning because of their two game defeat by the men of Stechm. The Aggies put in their best on Friday night and in a few moments removed all Tiger players from the game, but the game was not as important but the Tigers fought hard and won it.
The Missourians have a great team this year. In fact, they came nearer to winning the Valley title this year in basketball than they ever did in baseball. And that Missouri has ever won two straight games from Kansas in basketball. They will try to make it four straight while they are at it and unless Hamilton's men are going at a usual rate they will probably do so.
The Jayhawkers have had a couple of stiff practices since the Normal defeat Thursday night and the cripples have been allowed to rest up so that they can play. One of his men to be in good shape and finish the season with a rush. Cole and Kaunder will be in the fracas tonight onight and should be able to alip in a few while Van Ghen's men are not watching. Both men have had sprained an arm, but have gettter over the injuries enough to get into the final games.
But then Van Ghen is sure of two victories and has the dope to show that he has right to expect them. Dope does not always win a game so surprises players with an surprise waiting for him after all. The Missourians who came to Lawrence for the games along with Coaches Brewer and Van Ghen are: Weir, Campbell, Shalay, Church, Williams, Bryant, Hydc and Stankowski.
Kansas roots are hoping for at least one victory out of the two games. This will only make one K. U. victory against Alabama, but Kansas can hope for. Coach Hamilton is expecting a victory in at least one game and if he can get enough pep in his mind so that they will fight to the end, Kansas games he will be sure of two victories.
Buckles Edits Botha News
Dale Buckles, a sophomore in the college and now a year student in journalism, has at last come to light through the Botna Valley News. "Buck" went to Macedonia, Iowa, the first week in February to become editor and manager of the News. He said as he was leaving that he would be satisfied if he could manage an editorial page to manage an editorial page. This is in view of his youth and inexperience; but, although Buck may be a little new to the editorial side, he has had a larger amount of experience in back office work, on the Kansan and on the Times-Star in news and in news journalism. More columns of Buck's "nose for news" by its columns of locals.

All-University Festivity attracted Huge and Happy Crowd
GYM WAS TRANSFORMED
Colonial Garden In Place of Usual Drab Interior
"A great success" was the general opinion of the two thousand students and faculty members, who assembled Saturday night in Robinson Gymnasmium to take part in the second annual All-University party.
"I was very much pleased with the way in which things went and think the party was a great success," said Mrs, Eustace Brown.
"The party went off in fine shape and came up to the expectations of the promoters," was the comment of Mr. Baldacci, man of the arrangements committee.
The decorations were generally commended and many pronounced the scheme the best that had ever been. The building was transformed into a room encircled with trellised lakes and the doorway enclosed by a typical colonial approach. Opposite the entrance an old fashioned arbor provided a retreat for the orchestra, where musicians gathered to the guests from a picturesque open well in the east end of the hall. A large electric flag made a brilliant display in the east end of the gym, and the portraits of George and Martha Washington, gazed around by the festive crowd from the west.
A recital by Dean and Mrs. H. L. Butter and Miss Pearl Emley, of the School of Fine Arts constituted the first part of the evening's program and was greeted with hearty appraise that filled the lower floor of the vvm.
The minuet, followed the reception of the guests and the grand march. Thirty-two students took part in the dance, which was heartily commended by the entire audience. The students taking part in this affair had been encouraged to represent representatives of most of the organizations on the hill.
After the minute the remainder of the evening was devoted to a social dance in which two hundred couples wore dresses furnished by the University orchestra.
To the students on the different committees, in whose hands the management of the party rested, Mrs. Brown wishes to give the credit for the success of the evening. It was used as a display of decorations, arrangements and programs being handled exclusively by them.
The following students compose the general arrangements committee: Chancey Hunter, chairman; A. J. Jenkins, chairman; A. J. Meeesmith, jitter; F. J. Jackson chairman, Ada Dykes, Itasca Hilsam; decoration, Jesse Kabler, chairman, Eugene Rolfs, Olin Darby, Ennis Whitehead Alice Rice, Rice Chairman, Mary Stricker; publicity committee, Ames Rogers, chairman, Zetha Hammer, Harry H. Morgan.
James Ackright, sophomore in the college and Field Secretary of the Lawrence Boy Scouts, with headquarters at the City Y. M. C. A., took troop No. 6 to Cameron's Bluff Saturday. The afternoon was spent in active practice, treasured fire-building tests, in which each boy was given two matches, with which he must build his own fire to cook his supper.
The Methodist students are launching a campaign among their 750 members, to raise money for current expenses. A committee is asking each student to contribute one dollar toward the fund for the leasing of Myers Hall, and defraying the expenses of outside speakers. Methodists hope to secure in a year or two a Bible house on the Hill.
The members of the department of home economics are planning to give a play at the state teachers' convention, which meets here March 30. The play is "Prince Caloric and Princess Picta."
Allen Sterling, senior College, has been elected temporary president of the School of Education. He will be the first woman to line at Mrs. Eustace Brown's all University party Saturday, February 26. The school up to this time has had no president and it is to be determined whether it shall have a permanent one.
"If we beat the Aggies, we will beat Missouri," was the opinion of Coach Patterson last week, and since the 66 to 19 victory on Monday night he is even more confident than before. He also has a new training before the Missouri meet," is about all that Coach Hamilton has to say.
An informal dinner will be given tonight at the University Club in honor of Seumus MacManus, the Irish poet and journalist, who is visiting the University this week. After the dinion we will talk about his work and will probably read some of his poems. All members of the club are invited.
Avery Olney In Hospital
Avery Olney, K. U., 15, president of the graduate school, who was operated on for appendicitis last Saturday in Kansas City is reported to be improving. He is a son of Professor Olney, principal of the Lawrence high school.

MOVIES FOR RELAXATION
"They Serve as Silent Drama,
Not as Text-books," Ware
"Moving pictures should not be looked upon as text-books, but as the silent drama," said L. L. Ware, manager of the Varsity, in reply to Prof. W. A. McKeever's attack on the "movies," "People come to the movies for environmental and relaxation," he continued, "and do not want the theaters turned into another classroom. I wouldn't give five cents for this theatre if I had to run educational pictures six times a week. This talk of a million dollars profit is extravagant and comes from one who does not know the world." We have given people the hole on every educational picture I have shown. The people do not want them, and in the end the people are the censors of the movies.
"Speaking of censors, it seems to me that Professor McKeever has flattered the board of censors in one sentence and slammed them in the next. I approve of the board's action, but we share to uphold them. I would most certainly like to see the money they clear turned over to educational uses as Professor McKeever suggests. The board has used its power judiciously and the percentage of cheap and medicine pictures that are very moving picture business has improved wonderfully in the last few years, and most productions are high in price and in moral tone. Take for instance the "Yellow Pass" presents a projected picture presently; cost $730,000 to produce and has only praised as having the highest educational value. In fact, nearly all the dramatized pictures have more or less educational value. Nevertheless," he added, "he wants these theatre for educational pictures I'll sell out and let them rry their luck at it."
Naomi Simpson, senior College, has withdrawn from her class on account of ill health. She has enough work, however, so that her withdrawal will not prevent her graduation with the class of 1916.
ANNUAL EXHIBT OPENS
Will Contain Pictures by Both Kansas and Eastern Artists
NO ADMISSION CHARGED
Display Has Been Insured at Forty Thousand Dollars
"The art exhibit this year is the best we have had in years," said Prof. W. A. Griffith this morning, "and it free to all. I want every one to see it."
The exhibit is now open to visitors in Room 301 Administration Building and will be open to visitors each day for two weeks from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. except on Sundays when it will be open only in the afternoons from 2 to 5 o'clock. The exhibit will not be open, however, Sunday, February 27.
The exhibit is made up of a set of pictures by Kansas artists and picture curation of Arts. Twelve pictures are borrowed from the United States Picture Gallery at Washington, D. C., and belong to the government. They are insured at forty thousand dollars. "Still Life, Striped Bass," a picture by William H. Chase, and one admired motion. The exhibit contains a portrait of Margaret Hill McCarter, the author, other noted artists represented are: Kenyon Cox, Mary Cassat, Henry W. Ranger, and Irving R. Wiler. A catalog of the paintings is being preserved distributed free to the visitors.
About forty of the pictures are by Kansas artists which were collected and added to the exhibit by Professor Griffith, several of which are of his own original work. The local artist, is represented in this collection with five small paintings.
Owing to some delay in the shipment of the pictures from Manhattan, Mr. Griffith expected but all the pictures are here now. Professor Griffith and several assistants will hang the pictures today and have them ready for visitors to see.
The exhibit was shown at Manhattan before being brought to Lawrence and was attended by 2,500, exclusive of "repeaters."
GRADUATES TO LECTURE
School of Engineering Plans
Talks by Alumni
The lectures will all be planned for the coming school year in the summer before the catalogue goes to press, the speakers and their subjects being printed at the end of the list of studies offered as a part of the regular work. The speakers will be chosen from the alumni; if we far as possible, but in case an extra occasion offers itself in a speaker of unusual prominence in some given line, outsiders will be scheduled on the program.
A scheme consisting of a series of lectures given at intervals throughout the year on the more popular engineering subjects, is being planned by the faculty of the school and the *umi* Association.
This year the course will be comprised of a series of five lectures, of which the first will be a lecture by J. S. Worley, a Kansas graduate, who is doing railroad valuation work for the interstate Commerce Commission.
UNIVERSITY CLUB RECEIVES
PICTURES FROM PRINCETON
At the request of the Princeton members of the University faculty, eight pictures of the Princeton campus were given Wednesday to the University Club. Charles W. McAlpin, the alumni secretary of Princeton University, presented the pictures to his former classmate, Mary Louise Beauchamp. The other Princeton members of the faculty are: Professors C, G. Dunlap, G. G. Mitchell, D. C. Croissant, and J. U. Evans.
The pictures include the new Graduate School, the entrance to the University grounds, Nassau street and Cleveland Memorial Tower, the Winged Turtle Hall, the Hall, and the Ferris Thompson Gateway to the athletic field. ThisGateway was erected in memory of Mr. Thompson, a former classmate of 'professor Hopkins'. The various campus groups represented in the University Club will from time to time give pictures representative of heir alma mater.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the then thanly printing new standards in their university hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be ageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to make students familiar with the students of the University.

NO MORE GRINDS
The election of six new members to the Phi Beta Kappa society has been announced, and in the list of names are some of the best known students in school. Twenty years ago this would not have been the case, for it used to be a tradition at the University that the men and women who "made" Phi Beta Kappa were not the men and women who were prominent in school activities. They were usually considered the grinds of school and were looked down on by the "active" students.
The change is a hopeful one in that it answers the attacks of those carping critics who long for the old-fashioned student, who preferred study to pelitis or dancing, and who believed time spent away from his books wasted. Present day Phi Beta Kappas are apt to lead in a lot of things besides grades.

ABSTRACT vs. CONCRETE
Ancient metaphysicists used to argue long and loud about how many angels could sit on the point of a pin at exactly the same instant, or how many souls placed point to point, it would take to reach the moon.
We are advanced beyond any such abstract intellectual fluff. Yes indeed! A concrete example of our modern analytical reasoning is seen in the bridge question, the new bridge which is being built for farmers. Or rather the bridge which the farmers thought would be built for them when they voted the $200,000 bonds. Since the Rock Island Railway has made public its benevolent plan of augmenting freight traffic between Topeka and Kansas City, the farmers feel a bit uncertain about the ultimate purpose of said bridge.
And why should not the railway oe copy a 10 foot strip down the center of the 44 foot bridge? That leaves the farmer a palatial ten foot driveway on either side. Economy of space is the watchword of today. The proverbial economy of space in the can of sardines is mild, the farmers say, compared with the proposed bridge spacing. The farmer even goes so far as to say that a 10 foot driveway is not wide enough for him. But perhaps the farmer doesn't know about the necessary space required in which to handle a team. All the sage ones
of the country know full well that a
Of course farm gates are 12 and 14 feet wide and the farmer considers that scant space, but as has been said, the farmer knows so little about such things.
ten food driveway is wide enough.
Loaded hayracks are 9, 10, 11 and 12 feet wide but then the farmer has no business loading like that. It's too heavy for the horses and besides it is ungainly and inartistic.
Shying horses take up a lot of room but then again if the farmers would give their horses nerve tonic they wouldn't be so nervous and skittish. Any well manned healthy horse ought not mind having an interurban scrape the flies off his ears.
Three horses abreast measure ten feet six inches, swing and swine. Simple matter to settle—let one of the horses walk on the sidewalk. What cause have we for exclusive false pride? Aren't we descended from brute?
Yes, undoubtedly the farmers are mistaken and need enlightenment on the bridge question.
Judging from the number of faculty garages that are going up we are forced to infer that our worthy professors must be getting their twenty-year endowments, or else building chicken coops under false pretenses.

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF TH
NEW.POETRY?
Talking with people in well-ordered ways is prone.
talking with people in well-ordered And talking to them in well-ordered ways or in disordered outbreak may be poetry. But talking with yourself, out on a country road, no houses and no hedges to conceal a listener. Only to talk between the trees and a wind and a linet. Talking with yourself in those long breaths that sing or hum or whistle fullness of the heart. Talking with yourself, The short breaths, Beat of heart, Whether it be of sadness or a hailstack, Mirth or the smell of the sea, A cloud or luck or love, Any of these or none— It's poetry. —Witter Bynner, in the Bellman.

There is an unfailing touch on truth in each of these nine absurd rules. Men long "out of college" picture in industry, but picture the stock uncertainties of almost any college yarn except "Philosophy Four"-itself a Harvard product.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed or evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Editor. Daily Kansan:
8. All college rooms are adorned with pennants.
I trust that the new method of management on the paper is proving satisfactory to all. As a student editor I always opposed any move to take the paper from independent student-trol. It seemed to me that Kanan did not become any less a real student paper this year because of the change.
Your student opinion column continues to be one of the most interesting departments. Several communications asking that "cuss words" in yells be discontinued have my most hearty appeal. As a student no longer a profiler, Carruth's anti-"To Hell with Old Mizzo" idea more than it did. It seems to me that such a reform was undermining the very foundations of student liberty—even though swearing is not one of my worst personal habits. Since my graduation, however, I have heard one the most important politician of the better sort, too—deliver a scathing denunciation of University students as a body; and the K. u. songs and yells were the texts he used for his sermon. Students are fair and reasonable if approached properly. If the Kansan would preside, surely would they not be willing to sacrifice a little "inherent liberty" for the good of the institution?
Yours truly, John C. Madden, 14.
College wit when it strays the campus becomes as thoroughly immature as the collegian himself, comments the Chicago Post. It is artificial and unverifiable. We are outside inside the quadrangle and upon its own soil, it is as confident and accurate as the most mature mind could wish. Thus we find the Harvard Lampoon in the typical story of college life;criply:
The birthday number of the Daily Kansan arrived with all bells on and I have been intending to make a short editorial notice of its advent, in the columns of the Kansan (1) advertising has been so heavy in February, and space in a weekly is so limited, that I have been unable to do until it is too late. The edition was a hummer. After lunch each day I sit down to read three papers, the real K. U. NEWSPaper, the Kansan. I must confess that it doesn't take long for the names of students to grow unfamiliar but an occasional reference to an old grad. a professor, or the lace laminated Student Union makes the few minutes' search worth while. And now—glory
REAL COLLEGE HUMOR
Anybody can write a story about college life. If he has not attended a college, so much the better. His imagination is less trammeled. A few simple rules must be observed, however.
7. College men never study, but spend their time in toasting repose by drinking coffee.
5. An college men call their fathers "pater," and speak of the "honor of the dear old school" in a husky voice.
3. There is always a "Fatty" who is a funny fellow.
4. Any four college men make up a quartet, which can can“s “Merhillee we ro-hull alonng” at any time.
6. All college men address cac other as "old boss."
5. all College men are wooing a girl named Dorothy or Betty, who is
wooing you?
1. All heroes are named Jack,
Stanley, or Dick.
2. All college men wear sweaters always, and smoke short, fat-bowed jeans.

Walter Newell of Kansas City upon whom the Tigers relied to take the championship from Kansas in the spring tennis tournament is the one for whom the sport men mourn most.

Klein was called home on account of the death of his father and Shepherd was so far behind in his studies that he thought that a little caution would be the better part of valor. Consequently he left school for this year and expects to take another full year to offset these losses Bern Neldorp, the star track man and Pierp Morgan, of baseball fame, have returned to fill their old places.

A good insight into things as they will be in 2016, after the feminists have secured their rights, was obtained by the members of the Sigma Phi Sigma fraternity who were entertained at a leap year party at Eagles' Hall Friday, eights.

Fraternities Stage Vaudeville Stunts at Annual Pan-Helenic Smoker
Spice, variety and plenty of humor characterized the program presented by six of the twelve national fraternities at the Panhellenic smoker Thursday night. The cats were unusually good and bad, but they were only a woman, but a good cigar is always a smoke." we verified.
The Sigma Nu's presented a "Twenty Minute Nightmare," minstrel show stunt, which won applause. The Phi Deltas' blackface comedy went off well. The Delta Taus lent variety to the program by presenting an excellent musical number. The Alpha Taus faced Guy Maldo in "Music: Made While Wait." A hair raising tragedy presented by the Pi K.

"GO SOUTH,YOUNG MAN"
That is Advice of Dean P. F.
Walker at Engineers'
Banquet
STUDENTS LIKE WORK
The "Go West Young Man, Go West," of Horace Greeley has been modernized to "Go South Young Man, Go South."
Dean P. F. Walker in his toast, "Engineering in the New United States," given at the sixteenth annual banquet of the K. U. Engineers at Ecke's Hall Thursday evening, predicted the shifting of the center of the world development to the region about the Panama Canal.
The Gamma Phi Beta sorority held initiation Saturday morning at the chapter house for the following; Lucile Nowlin Kansas City, Mo; Evelyn Peek, Westboro, Mo; Janet Parkinson, Forth Smith, Ark.; Marie Nusz, Abilene, Kent, Pleasanton; Olivia Dale, Carthage, Mo., and Olive Reynolds, Holton. A banquet in honor of the new members was held evening at the hutchion Marian Le Seun 920 New Hamshire Street.
Sarah, Rowe, of Lawrence, has pledged Gamma Phi Beta.
Kent Moneypenny, member of the Delta Theta fraternity, and a freshman in the School of Engineering, has probably had more experience than any other freshman in the University. He has done survey work at various places all over the United States and has worked in a canning factory in Alaska for six months. He was going to teach for South America last fall, but while he Nebraska happened to meet his father who suggested that Kent go to school, so he came here, His parents live in Richmond, Virginia, but Kent has not been home for over four years.
Great Demand for Jobs Keeps Employment, Bureau
The Sigma Nu chapter held initiation Saturday night at Westminster for the following: Edward Jones, Luther Wheeler, Page Wagner, Frank Terkel, Herman Engle, Eldon Smith and Allen Frater. Burton Sears, grand historian, of Pentwater, Michigan, was present. Banquet plates were set for forty-nine. Several of the alumni were there.
Busy
"You just bet we have a student employment bureau," said Hugo Wedell, secretary of the University of Illinois, who obtained work for several hundred students already, and we still have room for more. But these jobs are only for the men who mean business, and the fidelity position must not be afraid of work."
Last year the number of men who obtained positions was 476. That they were well repaid for their labor is shown by an average net profit of $114,85, while the total earnings are $84,674. This is rather remarkable in view of the fact that out of this sum they paid for their tuition, clothing and other necessities. Attention is called to the large number of students on the University pay roll alone. Last year there were 200 students it year after the hundred mark.
It is interesting to note the various types of work in which students engage. Of 245 men who reported the type of work they were doing, one finds the following classification: The boarding house claims the largest percentage of 245 being employed in them. Janitors, store clerks, printers, newspaper carriers and laundry men come next, in order named, and are followed by newspaper writers, and laboratory and drug store assistants. Five student preachers, a taxidermist, a nurse, an optician, a machine operator, and an undertaker's assistant are among the unusual types of student workmen.
The University Employment Burau, with its offices in Myers Hall, has played an important part in the promotion of students and student employers. For the last three years it has been under the supervision of the secretary of the Y. M.
AND STILL THEY SPLUTTER
Showers Continue to Scald or Freeze Men in Gymsium
"Wow, this water is colder 'n blazes!"
"Cold! cold! cold!" This thing here
gives me the warmth. If I could get
out, from under it.
"Hurry up, you guys. I got to make a three-thirty class and you two've got the only two showers that will work. You'd dozen fellows out here waiting, too."
"Go try one of the others," came back from the first man.
"Try one of the others!" Haven't I been trying them for over a year and a half now, and did one of them ever work?"
SHEA EXPLAINS
This is just an excerpt from a conversation he'd at any time of any day in the Gym. When the matter was put up to Mr. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, he said to me, "I am not of the department of physical education. If the department makes a complaint to me, I shall fix them, but I have too much work to do to be hunting it up. The showers do never go down." That is why that the feed pipe that was put in at first was not big enough. Then the city water that is used is strong enough to knock the best of apparatus out. There are no mixers on the showers and when they come in, it is a fight between them as to which one will get it. When one of them turns his shirt off, the other is apt to be scalded. I understand that a couple of men have been burned under the hot floor. However, I will fix them if I notified that they need fixing."
**STUDENTS PARTLY TO BLAKE**
Nia Smithson, of the department of physical education at New town and could not be seen about the cause of the trouble. Mr. Stanley, assistant gym director, said that the blame could not be placed on any one person. The showers have never worked satisfactorily and we are laying the blame in a large measure on the students who let the showers run after they are through using them. I have gone down there at six o'clock and turned the showers off long after everyone else was gone. They just did it, and that is all that I know about it."
STUDENTS PARTLY TO BLAME
In any case the showers that showen at all go on spluttering ice-cold or hot.

To Arouse Interest in Sports and Social Life
WOMEN TO HAVE MIXER
For the first time in its history the Women's Athletic Association will give a banquet. Great interest is being shown for the coming event, which will be held in Robinson Gymnastics, March 11. The purpose of the banquet is to promote songs and talks, enthusiasm among the women for games and sports.
After the dinner Marjorie Hires, Missouri Valley Tennis Champion, Bertha Kitchel, Mrs. Olcott and Mrs. Butler will speak.
The girls' freshmen and sophomore basketball teams will then have a game and the winning team will be given Mr. Carroll's trophy cup. Numbers will be given to individual players.
When these things have been disposed of the women will hold a social dance, and luckily, leap year provides the opportunity for the girls to invite their friends. After all, the boys will get in on part of it. The guests will be met at the door at nine o'clock.
The tickets for this event will be on sale Wednesday of this week, in the Gymnasium, in Fraser, and by all District Leaders. Girls, call up your district leader and engage your ticket.

SOPHS PILE UP SCORE SIT IN THE BACK ROW?
Basketball Women Win First Foreign Game in Polytechnic Gym
Amid the despairing yells of feminine Kansas City rooters, Friday night in the Kansas City Polytechc Gym the sophomore basketball women team of the Polytechc team and won their first battle on foreign fields by a score of 26 to 17. The score at end of the first half was 9 to 10 in favor of the K. U. Women. The "sophomore" team in the polytechc half and, becoming more accustomed to a court divided in three sections, began to roll up the score.
Since the game was played on a court divided in 3 sections the sophomore centers, unused to having their accustomed full range, three courts, all fully found it difficult to keep on the right side of the imprisoning white lines. This division of the court made the game somewhat slower and less satisfactory than when the players are given a greater range of activity on a one line court.
Joyce Brown made a total of nineteen points, seven field and five foul goals, for the sophomores. She played with a speed, and a certain aim that exasperated her opponent Irene Tilen. Guards, played steady and consistent game, keeping their opponents from rolling up a dangerous score.
Willamette Tooley, midfear toward, easily starred for the Paly-Bay game. He scored four goals to the seventeen points made by her team.

LAW GRADS SEEK OFFICE
Buzick and Holloway Speak at K. C. Political Meetings
Harmony may exist in the law form of Buzick and Holloway but it is not of a political nature. Upon graduation from the University, Buzick and Webb Holloway, president of the senior class in his last year, formed a law partnership in Kansas City, Kansas. Buzick is now active while Holloway is a Democrat.
Buzick was one of the principal speakers at the Kansas Day Republican meetings at Topeka. He made such a hit that many of his friends and other interested in Kansas City, Kansas are urging him to attend the attorney of Wyandotte, the largest and most populous county in the state.
Not to be outdone by his partner, Holloway made a speech at the Kansas Democratic Club on Monday. He opined that fashion is "the birthday of men," the "Young Men's Party." He urged the Democrats to incorporate in their state platform favoring the passage of a bill that would support of the university and the other state schools.
FISCHER TO EDIT KANSAN
In advocating the measure he said, "14,000 students are now enrolled in the university and the other state colleges, two-thirds of which are from November." He added, "they will exert a tremendous influence over their friends and relatives on this proposition and every one of them favors a mill tax."
Will Be Chief of K. U. Daily for Next Four Weeks
Wilbur Fischer, a senior from La Cygne, has been elected by the Senior Board of the Daily Kansanto act as editor. Zetha Hammer, a senior from Salt Lake, Utah, was elected to serve as news editor. Maurreen McKernan and Charles Sturtevant have been appointed as associate editors. The assistants to Maffei Hammer will be, Mildred Eppard and Miles W. Vaughn. Their term will continue during the coming month.
Lake Care Then—Professors Diagnose Preference of Seats in Class Room
Miles Vaughn, Mildred Eppard,
Raymond A. Fagan and Gleson L.
Swongwer were elected to the Kansan
Board.
Is it that girls and "sissy" boys are the ones who prefer the front row in the class room? Do they choose this place just to make a good impression on their instructors, and if so, do they succeed in this, or are they really sincere in their work, and trying to get as much as possible out of the course? Some half dozen professors have pressed their opinions back on the front row in question, and maybe lowers of the front row are not so unwise in making this choice after all.

BACK ROW DANGEROUS
BACK ROAD JANUARY
Professor Boyd wrote "The back row of my classes is the most dangerous place on the campus. A lecture course is one which demands the closest attention from students, I think, because they have to take notes, think, and listen at the same time. Those sitting in the danger of noise out if they don't pay particularly good attention."
DEVIL SITS IN BACK ROW?
Professor DockerKE, "When I was small and went to church, I was always taught that the devil sat in the back row. However, that may be, I'm not very partisan, where my pals sit, and the room is fairly well filled up. If the room is large and the number of pupils small I like to get them as close to me as possible."
EVEN USED BY FACULTY
Professor Odgen "There seems to be a natural tendency for persons to fill up the back room first. This does not apply particularly to students, for faculty meetings that the back seats are always filled up first. In my classes I seat them alphabetically except at the quiz, sections, where I let them choose their own seats."
Professor Putnam "In my classes the students in the back row tip their chairs against the wall and I warn them not to break the lime. In the middle of the semester I have those in the front part of the room change places with those in the back part of the room, so that all will have the advantage, some time or another, of being close to their teacher."
SWITCH SEATS
"STALLERS" CHOOSE "FRONT"
Professor Stouffer"I~I find that generally the older students' and those more interested in the course pick the front row, but this is not always the case. Ounomily a good "staller" will take a seat in the front and try to 'stall' his way by loud talking. If the room is not too large I am not particular where they sit, otherwise I like them pretty well toward the front."
Engineers To Dance
Plans for the annual dance given by the School of Engineering were discussed informally Thursday night at the Engineers' banquet, preparatory to making definite arrangements for the big event. Art Wickstrum, a junior, is chairman of the舞会 committee. The dance will occur in Robinson Gymnasium, at a date in the near future.
The friends of Olim Deibert, instead of going to the notion counter for necessary articles, usually apply to him. It also makes it easier to bring his room from a horse-shoe nail to a screw-driver and scrape of old iron.

THE MISSOURIANS DID IT
prognostications of Old Doc Dope Proved True in Basketball Game
VICTORS HAD NO TROUBLE
Once Van Ghent's Quintet Got Started KU, couldn't Stop It
For once the expected happened.
Showing great team work and clock-like passing, the Missouri Tigers had little trouble defeating Kansas 41-10 last night in the opening game of the final basketball series of the 1916 season, on the Robinson Gymnasium court.
The season's record crowd, despite the handicap of Monday night, turned out in a vain hope of seeing the fast Tiger machine stopped by Coach Hamilton's five. For three minutes the team win, they lost. Van Ghent quintet get under way, the seven. 24, Kansas 7.
WILLIAMS STARRED
The second half proved even worse the Tigers headed by Williams counting 17 points, while the Kansas five despite the addition of Reber, Washburn, and other reinforcements counted a meager three.
Eight players were used in the Jayhawker lineup by Coach Hamilton, but only three of them broke into the scoring jubilee. Gibbens, Captain of the on-court feature contributed by the Jayhawkers during the forty minutes of agony was Gibben's great football tackle during the second period. It cost the most money in BILBERT to personal foul but the crowd got its money's worth out of it.
and a Kansas City Wesport high school product, goes the honor of contributing twenty-eight of the Old Gold and Black's points. With his fourteen field baskets, Williams was not only the highest individual point scorer of the evening but also for the local team. Also for the president, Ware, also a Kansas City boy, broke into the field goal column and scored five free throws on the seven Kansas fouls.
BETTER GAME TONIGHT
NUMBER 103.
Although defeated by the worst score of the season, in last night's opener, the optimistic among the Jayhawk five's followers are expecting a radical reversal of the Kansas team's form in tonight's second game. The Tizers have been noted this season for being an erotic five play real games. Kansas may not win tonight, but many may believe that the score will be by a five point margin rather than thirty.

HOW SYSTEM WORKS
Professor Mitchell Explains Method of Election to Phi Beta Kappa
The basis on which students are elected to Phi Beta Kappa, who selects them, and the method in selecting them, has always been a puzzle to many students. The following method was given by Prof. U. G. Mitchell who, until recently was secretary of the organization.
In the first place only students who make practically straight I's are eligible. The first semester as a freshman does not count. This one is given the student to get used to the new method of study. At the beginning of the senior year the secretary of the order goes over the lists and takes about one-sixth of the best students. These are arranged in the order of their grades. The faculty members of the delta Kappa delta committee be trained and also select the members, Grades are primarily a prerequisite to election but the faculty members look to the student's future also.
Many students do not know that only ones from the College are eligible to membership or that a person coming here from some other school must take at least forty hours of coursework who come here as seniors ineligible uness they take the required amount of work.

120 Possessors of Sheepskins
Hist, a secret! The dignified Graduate Club will be dignified no more on the evening of March 10. To see them in person, do it will be a dark mystery which can be solved only by the 120 members. Miss Gladys Elliott, Pearl Baker and Andrew Grundstadt come to this meeting which will make this next meeting a social one.
"The purpose of the Graduate Club is to promote the social and intellectual fellowship of its members," said Miss Elliott. "The meeting on March 10 will be a big social mixer and I am excited that we will miss 'the time of his life.' I hope every one will save this date and help make the affair a big success."
"The first social meeting of the year, held February 25th, afforded every one a jolly, good time but the most joyous and most successful. We are not dignified on these occasions nor are we supposed to act very intellectually."

HE TOLD IRISH STORIES
Seumas MacManus Recited Naive Poems and Readings From His Own Work
Miss Caroline Greene will talk before the Twelve O'Clock Sunday School class tea held at Westminster Hall from five to seven tonight. Miss Greene is chair of Charity Association of Kansas City and has charge of the Italian quarter.
Seumas MacManus more than lived up to the Irishman's reputation as a wit and story teller in his lecture given yesterday afternoon on "Stories of Irish Fairy and Folk-lore." The audience, which filled the chapel, was charmed by his quaint and beautiful tales.
This Irist poet, journalist and author told the stories as they have been told to him and his ancestors for the last 2,000 years. His chief amusement as a child, youth and schoolmaster was furnished by the old Schanachies who he said could sit before a turf-fire in some little cottage and tell stories for years and years and never repeat a one.
"Thank God Ireland still believes in the old fairy stories," said Mr. MacManus, "it is the land for story telling and story tellers. The profession of writing thrived in Ireland, and teller ranks third in Irish professions. That there are fairies in Ireland he does not doubt and the story of how they came he told the audience. It was at the time the devil was cast as a monk, Jean clairtin his triptych remained in the struggle that preceded were also punished by the Almighty. He threw them from heaven with the permission to go wherever they wished. For the most place to go in heaven they need Ireland.
Dozens of pretty stories saturated with humor, which are so characteristic of the Irish, were told by Mr. Bacchus. "The Irish man who rests in Moor," a poem of love-making was very popular with the audience. In the Gaelic there are 365 terms of endearment for a girl, "Ireland," says Mr. MacManus, "has a very rich voice that is full of wit which rests the Irish people more clearly than do the stories." Some of the most beautiful are: "God never shuts one door but he opens two," I think very well. "That man who gallon-and-a-half" "It's bad manners to talk about ropes in the house where the father was hanged." "A kind word never broke a tooth." "Many a man's will tongue broke his arm when a woman whose wife is a widow," and a dozen others kept the crowd laughing for an hour.

WANT MORE TEACHERS
Many Kansas Schools Are Demanding University Graduates for Instructors
The demand for teachers for next fall is heavier this year than it has ever been before, judging from the requests that have been pouring into the office of Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education. A large number of calls has been received and more are coming in every day.
At a recent meeting of the students of the School of Education approximately 175 signified their intention of teaching school next year. Of this group, 40 signaled their application with the Board for the Recommendation of Teachers.
"Owing to the delay caused by the investigation of credentials the students intending to teach should make their application to the Board at once," said Professor Johnson. "The students who delay making their application stand a good chance to lose on jobs."

SENIORS MAY LOSE PLAY
Unless '16 Actors Try Out, Production Will go to Outsiders
ISSUE CALL FOR ACTION
Unless Interest is Shown Tradition Will go By the Board
A final call for members of the senior class to support their play, "Copping the Grapes," by Alton Gumbiner, was issued by Manager Don Burnett today and unless at least fifty seniors are present at the trouty in Green Bay, the class may be the first to go down into history as unable to give its own play. "We have had only about twenty people out so far said Manager Burnett, this morning, "and unless a great many more come out tomorrow it may be that the class will not be able to keep up with every senior who has any dramatic talent at all will come to the trouties tomorrow."
The senior play, which has become an institution at the University, has always been given by a cast selected by competition from the members of the senior class. In years gone by the university had a lead in being considered one of the highest honors that any senior can obtain. However the present class seems to lack interest in the event and only twenty people have been out for the places. Since there are fifteen managers and seven of their managers little choice as to who shall get the place and it is probable that they will take it out of the hands of the class unless at least fifty aspirants are out for the places tomorrow.
WHAT THEY SAY
"Just what effect the taking of the play out on the hands of the class would have cannot be told, of course," Burnett said yesterday, "but we will have to do it unless there are more opportunities for us not ready to say who will put on the play if the members of the class do not.
C. A. Randolph, president of the senior class says: "It would be a blot upon the name of the class if we should be unable to give the play. I sincerely hope that every senior who turns out for the tryouts tomorrow."
Robert Smith, senior Law, is of the opinion that every senior should take the matter to heart and see to it that the members of the class come out for it. He declares that he is going to attend at least three new men out, himself.
THEY ALL AGREE
Willis G. Whitten, senior engineer,
says that he would go out himself if
he thought that it would help any and
anyone who is going to the classroom
class ought to put on the play itself.
Louise Imus, a senior in the College, also believes that the play ought to be put on by the class and says that she will do all that she can to see to it that it is put on by the senior class as has been the custom in the past.
While Alice Coors, who had the lead in the dramatic club's play this fall, isn't willing to be quoted in the Kansan, she admitted to a reporter that she thought the play ought to be put on by the class at any cost. "The seniors ought to strive for the honor," she asserted.
Mauren McKernan, senior College,
believes that the class will be sorry
if it fails to put on the play by
coming out for the trousls.
Practically all members of the class are agreed that the cast must be chosen from the ranks of the class and it is probable that the aroused senti-
tion of the desired fifty people for the tryouts in Green Hall tomorrow afternoon.
THE KODAK WILL GET YOU
IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT
Again the "Kodak Section" is to be a big feature of the Jayhawk. it is generally conceded that snapshots are better than pictures, because day activities on and around the campus, portrait a truer and more lasting picture of college life than any number of photographs taken in it, and photographically brushed and groomed can do.
At 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, E. M. Johnson, who is looking after this feature of the annual, wants to meet the members of the Kodak Club, in an outdoor building. Anyone who is interested can belong to this club. At the meeting tomorrow, a definite plan of obtaining pictures, and working up features will be discussed. A number of exhibitors are invited to the Jayhawker of '16 originality and destination over previous annuals, are being worked out.

THOSE SHOWERS AGAIN
Adam and Eve had many adventures that one was that they escaped teething.
THESE SHOWS HAVE
"It isn't my fault." "I wasn't officially notified." "It's up to the other fellow." These are the remarks one hears when he inquires why students are subjected to a stream of boiling hot—or freezing cold—water in Robinson Gymnasium.
Many complaints have been heard from the men students, yet nothing has been done. Many masculine voices have been heard in the gymnasium, exclaiming, "We want water!"
The proper authorities should take note of these "little" things whether officially notified or not.
THAT WATER QUESTION
It would be interesting to know just how many people voted to keep the chapel hour at eight o'clock, in order to avoid eight o'clock classes next semester.
The question as to whether or not it is best for the City of Lawrence to buy the water system at the price of $175,000 is one that many of the voters of the city are asking. Many think that the plant in its present condition is not worth the price in spite of the fact that several competent engineers say that it is. It is a fact that the standpipe, settling basins and some of the machinery of the company is useless for a well improved system, and the company is selling this dead material to the city at a rather high figure.
Others think that the company will sell in a few years at a much lower figure than $175,000. Others doubt this, for very few men are willing to give away their stocks and bonds until it is absolutely necessary. The stock and bonds amount to $240,000.
One thing is certain—the city of Lawrence is not protected from large fires. Under the present system, the company can not throw more than four large streams of water fifty feet high. All who know, agree that this would not control a large fire. Not only this, but a flood such as the one in 1903 or in 1908 would leave the city for weeks without any protection at all, because the pumping plant would be under water and totally crippled. A city with a tax valuation of more than $13,000,000 can not afford to permit such a condition to exist.
Nearly every city in Kansas that has tried to install a competing plant has failed to get the desired results and eventually had to buy out the private company. The Lawrence company is not living up to its part of the franchise, but in order to get action
on it the city has to go through a long term of court. That means time and money.
Something ought to be done at once and, according to the best authority, 'he surest, quickest and cheapest way is for the city to purchase the present company and install a system that will protect the city from dangerous fires.
The predicament of the present senior class, which finds itself near the end of its last year without one-half of its memorial fund collected, should serve as an example to the first and second year classes and the classes that are to come. The senior memorial fund at present consists of about $200 and to buy the sort of gift for the University which the class feels it should, will require at least $400. This means that in approximately two months the class must raise what it should have done in three years, and that the memorial, which has not yet been decided upon, will have to be rushed to completion as soon as the money is raised—if it is raised.
BEGIN MEMORIALS EARLY
The hole in which the class finds itself is another shining example of the inefficiency of University politics. The chairman of the memorial committee last year did not collect a single penny. He got his job because he supported the man who was president of last year's class, and not because he wanted it, or because he was the best fitted in his class to hold the place. In the sophomore year the chairman did slightly better and collected $20. So far this year about $180 have been raised and if the class is to reach the $400 mark which it has set for itself, Chairman Harold Mack will have to step lively in the next few weeks.
The memorial fund should be complete by the end of the first semester and the majority of it should be collected during the first three years of the life of the class. If the chairman of the committee does not work he should be fired and the job given to somebody who will conscientiously do the work.

CAMPUS OPINION
The University of Kansas in her fiftieth year should be striving to take on the appearance of being down customers that she would be glad in the years to come to honor as traditions. Yet we find the holders of the purse strings for many high school girls to the time honored high-school custom of holding a beauty contest.
It's the wise press agent that knows what will arouse the interest of the readers by his notes he pipes through the byways and highways and because he picks upon the popular strings of the vanities of humanity his following is large; and being large he shakes the coffers of his following and grows fat with money. Tell a woman she's beautiful, and she will look twice in her mirror. The managers of the Senior Book are telling the twenty-six "Kansas Beauties" that they are beautiful and that their friends should make every effort to help them be the most beautiful. If the contest is a good thing, why not give every student a chance to determine Orend's most beautiful? If merely a business proposition, extend the contest to cover the handsome man, the student, the hardie, the hardiest working "boy," etc. "Let the work go on."

LITERATURE AND WAR
Scarcely two years have elapsed since the opening of the war in Europe, but in that short time it has had a marked effect on the literature of the world. With the increased calamity to the nations and races, brought on by the war, men of thought are everywhere trying to find out what is wrong with the world and to offer remedies. Many books are appearing that are in a way valuable, even though they are small bits of literature gathered from all phases of the world-strife.
The most noticeable feature of the present day literature is the number of books dealing wholly with war topics, or indirectly connected with them. One cannot glance through an American magazine today without seeing several articles pertaining to the strife. A majority of the new books by American writers deal with phases of the struggle for supremacy among the nations of Europe.
Some of the latest literary works are on "Preparedness," which is at present the big issue in the United States. The hold that these books has taken is emphasized by the fact that out of a list of thirty-two new books, in a recent number of the Independent, ten were on subjects of war. The next greatest number of articles pertained to art and religion, with four each. History and fiction claimed three each and poetry, music, sociology and science, two each. In another list of new books in another American magazine, there were twenty books on war. However, the increase in the number of war books, has not only meant a falling off in the books on other subjects, but also has
decreased the number of new books written in America.
When the European War started, literary critics predicted a slump in European books and an increase in American works. But, according to a review of books made recently by the New York Times, the war has caused r pronounced decrease in the American literary production. During the year of 1914, approximately 12,000 new books appeared in America as compared with 9,700 in 1915, a good per cent of which have been either directly or indirectly connected with war and its side-issues.

PROFESSOR ADISES CITY
TO PUCHASE, WATER PLANT
Professor B. F. Moore of the department of Political Science is in favor of the proposition of the city acquiring the local waterworks plant in order to provide it with discussing the question before the class at 1:30 o'clock, he said, "The city would undoubtedly be securing their money's worth as the amount of purchase price was determined by a fair and impartial board of engineers."
He added, "The water company could not improve the plant if it so desired. The franchise has only eight years to run, expiring in 1924. Because of the shortness of the time and the uncertainty attached to the removal of the franchise no money can be secured by loans or by bonds.
TUESDAY AND FRIDAY ARE

Thursday and Friday of this week will be collection days for the Freshman Memorial Fund. This is according to the decision of the Freshman Memorial Fund Committee which believes the work of collecting should be completed within the two days.
Recently Alfred Bennett, chairman of the committee appointed a number of assistants, who will aid him with mornings, midday and Friday. These persons are applied with Memorial tags and are authorized to make the collections. Chairman Bennett is anxious that every member of the Freshman class sees this week-end. The amount has been fixed at ten cents.

Mr. Bunker says that the English pendants have been imported and propagated in the U.S. and the United country, climate, and unscrupulous hunters have hindered the efforts of the enthusiasts so far.

Polity Club Speaker Would Educate People Against War
To secure anything along peace lines it must be done by enlightened self interests, Arnold B. Hall, professor of International Law at the University of Wisconsin, told the members of the International Polity Club last night at the Pi Upsilon house. "If war would prove to be more costly than the seding and that people would have to realize that other means than war would have to be arrived at to settle international disputes.
"I consider that we will come to the place where we realize that war does not pay, that man is a rational being and being a rational he will be willing a war does not pay," said Professor H. H. H. McCormick in the first era of the pacifist movement. The Christian era had its many pacifists. The second was the humanitarian era. We are now in the scientific era, an era that I consider in by Norman Angell through his famous book, The Great Illusion."
Professor Hall said that the most difficult obstacle the parrisists had to overcome in trying to get the masses to adopt their ideas was the cry of the armatists that one should be "willing to give up everything" named Theodore Roosevelt and Lyman Abbott as the two strongest advocates of the "primitive appeal."
Some effective league of peace should be established, said Professor Hall. He would secure it by leaguing the leading powers together and thus at the same time reduce armament to a point where only the arbitrate international disputes, and establishing a power to force conciliatory means of arbitration.
"It may take another war to bring this question of international peace to fruition," Polly Club speaker said, but if it is not a problem while we have the awful example of the evils of war before us it is because people have not met the problem of the day.
The International Polity Club will have Prof. G. Lowe Dickinson of Cambridge University, as its next speaker, March 22.
SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS
BIGGEST QUAKE OF YEAR
The University seismograph located in Blake Hall recorded an earthquake at 7:35 a.m. on the entire wave lasted for almost two hours. The primary wave started at 2:27:15 and continued until 2:32:35 and began at 2:36:15 and ended at 4:06.
The estimated distance of the disturbance is 2200 miles which places the earthquake in Costa Rica in Central America. The greatest motion of the recording needle was one-fourth inch.
"This disturbance," said Prof. F. E. Kester of the Physics department, "is one of the most interesting recorded this year."

Law Students Object to Elimination of Dittmer in Contest
THEY ARE ALL PEEVISH
The law students object to the elimination of their Vanity Fair candidate Otto H. Dittmer, from the contest by the managers of the Jayhawker.
If the Campus Were Beautified-
They are indignant about it. As they have no women enrolled in the school, they think that they have a right to be represented in the Añual.
Members of the middle Law class held a meeting Monday afternoon under the direction of Tom Mullyon, Here, to be appointed to fight the matter to a finish.
It was decided by those present that a committee be selected to take up the matter with the managers of the Jayhawker. The men who are to serve on the committee are chosen. The Law students even threaten to use litigation, if necessary.
Whether they succeed in persuading the managers of the Annual to let their beautiful candidate remain in the contest still remains to be seen. At this stage, the law taken by the law students will not change Otto Dittmer's firm conviction that the fellows played a good joke upon him.
