Washburn Trustees, Faculty,
Alumni Near an Agreement.
Old System of Electing Trus-
tees To Go, 1t Is Reported.
IRON OUT DISBURSEMENTS
Trustees Insist on Naming Fac
ulty Men on Committee.
They Are Not Members of New
Iy Formed Union.

The constitution OF Washburn col
lege, which has been the subject of
criticism in the last four weeks. will
probably be revised in the near future.
The Washburn trustees, members
Of the faculty and the alumni associa-
ton. have met in several conferences
recently, and, except for one or two
minor disa greements. have agreed that
the present method Of administration,
ana election of trustees, should be
changed.
This will mean that Prof. J. z.
kirkpatrick. dismissed from the facuI-
" few weeks age, may have another
opportunity for reinstatement The
new constitution will include articles
which will cover this case.
Troubles Not Over.
But the troubled waters about the
college are still unsoothed The diff
ficulty which now confronts the trus-
tees is the proper way to select q re-
construction committee. The faculty
and the alumni association, IL was de-
cided, should each have two members
IKE number A A GODDARD and c. s
Elliott ars the members from the
board.
II Is said that the trustees appointed
two members OF the faculty on this
committee who were not in accord
with the association OF college pro-
lessons recently orga nized at Wash
burn. The faculty raised an objection
and it is said the trustees. up to date,
have remained firm in their decision.
The faculty association asserts that
the instructors on the committee
should be selected with the full vote
OF the body. instead of appointment at
the hands Of the trustees
Alumni Committeeman.
That disagreement remains to be
patched up before the committee can
get TO work. Another matter, which
IS causing some unrest among former
students and graduates, is the selec-
ton Of two committeeman from the
alumni association. The trustees, IL Is
said, favor having the president OF
the alumni, Dwight Ream, appoint the
members Some Of the alumni say
that the committeeman should be
elected by the association. regular bal
lots being sent out to each member.
Both sides hope to come to an
agreement this week. 1t is qroba BILE
that the new constitution will contsin.
among other articles, the following:
First-The board Of trustees to be
responsible 10 one or more groups of
organizations. such as the alumni as
ISOLATION and the faculty. and that
these organizations be represented on
the board.
Second-That a judicial committee
be chosen to grant a fair and impartial
hearing in all cases OF hiring and dis
charging instructors.
Third-That faculty and student
council be established, with advisory
powers
Fourth-That the faculty have a
share in the administrative duties OF
the college.

at any rate the secretary Lynn H.

Years day at the ~ with its games
and music and refreshments, and the
spirit Of good fellowship, makes 1t an
event worth mentioning. The fact that
many of the costumes seen there were
rather abbreviated at both ends, and
that some of them were decidedly dls-
tinctive as to color, should not bar the
affair. If it were not for the fact that
men were wearing Che costumes cut
low at the top and high at the bottom
as well as those of peculiar SHADES.
the event might be classed as a formal
society function. But considering that

THE WINTER FROCK

The one-piece dress as it has been
popularity known through the spring
and fall seasons suffers no waning Of
popularity through the winter. Its
character, however, is slightly
changed, for the restraint in line and
effect that made the spring and fall
frocks conservative enough for the
street is naturally ignored. The vim
ter frock is covered by a top coat
when in the street, and therefore may
indulge in more individual colors,
styles and fabrics. Simplicity, how
ever is the dominant feature, though
richness of effect is always achieved
Sometimes it may be credited 10 the
fabrics. sometimes to elegant en-
broidery, or sometimes TO an unusual
combination Of colors or fabrics. A
beautiful duvetyn or heavy beaver
satin would he delightful for the in
depreciation of my design today. Any
desired color is suitable, very mod
ish one being an olive drab. Dark
blue is also beginning its drive, while
dark red and beige are good also.
The distinctive feature of this frock
is the line of French buttonholos
bound with braid, which mark the
centre front line, and offer most at
tractive place for little cloth covered
balls to drop through. A wide panef
covers the front of the bodice ana
continues down the skirt turnlhS
