LAW STUDENTS REALIZE THAT THE SNAP COURSES ARE GONE
SOME RECENT EVENTS IN BLACK AND WHITE
SHIPMENT OF SMART DOUGS ARRIVES FROM K.C. FOR EXPERIMENT
NEBRASKA GETS SEHE ABOUT SOMETHING
ENGINEERS PUT IT OVER THE LAWS IN SNOWBALL RIGHT
PHYSICS CLOCK HAS RIVAL IN WHISTLE
HIGHSCHOOL DAY
University Time Markers Are in the Grip of Spring Fever
STUDENTS AWAIT THE SINGAI
But Classes Still Are Dismissed in Old Haphazard Way—No Change
In Sight.
Have the "tooty-toots" gone o a strike?
Ever since the story came out that the "too-toot-wo" would be on the job for the dismissal of classes, the students have listened eagerly about five minutes before time for each class to take notes, to take notes, inharmonious though they are.
It was understood that the action of the University Council in regard to the whistle was to take effect at once, before the regime of marathon classes still continues.
An investigation committee has been trying to ascertain why the whistle does not blow, but their efforts have been to no avail.
Dean Templin refuses to speak on the subject, but hints that something very definite may be known in a few days.
Edward E. Brown, secretary, states that the only reason he knows for the inactivity of the whistle, is that he has heard it. Brown should blow, and hence it has not blown.
A bulletin from the Chancellor's office states that no definite time was set for the beginning of the great occasion, and that several minor details have yet to be settled before the whistle can toot.
Registerar Geo. O. Foster says that he believes that the official tooter has gone on a strike, because of his increased duties. He said that it would require an extra man to do the work, and that he does not have time to blow the whistle three seconds once every hour.
But at any rate it still remains that the tooter does not toot, and it is feared that it will be forced to take a position along with the Physics Clock, unless it arouses itself from its present comatose condition.
EVER EAT GROUND ALMONDS?
Dean Sayre Says They Are Delicious And Are Easy to Grow.
"Ground almonds are very choice nuts of fine flavor, resembling the cocoa nut or almond, and those who have tested them prefer them to the genuine almond. Meat is snow white with a brown thin skin. Easy to grow and yields 200 to 300 nuts in a single hill. To be planted in the spring about the same time as corn or potatoes and by fall the nuts are ready to harvest."
The following is a description of the "ground nuts" according to the catalog-which advertises them:
Speaking of them, Dean Sayre said. "The almond is really a fruit which is closely related to the peach. These specimens which we have received resemble the almond somewhat in taste, but they must undoubtedly be a form of root otuber. They are a small plant and drug through their constituents."
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, received some curious samples yesterday of what are called ground almonds.

CHEMISTS MAKE MERRY
K. C. Section of American Chemical Society Met Here Saturday
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society held a meeting Saturday afternoon in the Chemistry building.
Addresses were given by Dr. J.H Schlundt, acting head of the department of Chemistry at the University of Missouri, and Prof. H. L. Miller, of the Kansas City , Kansas high school.
Dr. Schlundt spoke on "The Teaching of Chemistry" which was a personal narrative, and later in the session, gave an illustrated lecture on the "Investigation of the Radio-active properties of the Yellow Bottom Oil" and "The subject of Prof. Miller's address was Teach 'Instructions, not Facts'."
Following the program, a dinner was given at the Eldridge house for the guests.
"SELF RESPECT IS NOT CONCEIT""--DR. KING
Reverence for Personalities'
Was the Theme at
Bible Institute.
President Henry King delivered the first of the series of lectures which he will give this week in the Bible Institute yesterday in Fraser hall. He took as his subject "Reverence for Personalities."
Speaking at some length of the present trend of modern ideas toward specialization, Dr. King stated that there ought to be just as earnest endeavor by the individual to have a personality all his own as there is to invent something that is different from anything that has gone before.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, will leave tonight for Chicago to attend the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, which meets at the Auditorium Hotel, March 20-23.
"Combined with the respect that every person has for God and all things that are sacred," he said, "there should be just as much respect for self. Self respect is not conceit. It is the true appreciation of the self.
Emphasizing the old idea that every one must stand on his own merits, that is it after all the man himself makes the success or failure, Dr. King concluded his address with an appeal to the young people to cultivate a personal pride, to attempt to discover themselves, and above all to try to imitate the best that there is in others.
Fifty-five high schools and academies in Kansas will make application for accreditation. There is also one Kansas college making application for affiliated relations with this association.
Professor Johnson is a member of the board of high school inspectors.

WHO THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER IN BLACK?
Promised Unsuspecting Student Information of Vital Importance
SOPHOMORE LURED OFF CAMPUS
But Just as Blow Is About to Fall,
to Come.
He Flees as From The Wrath
"Come to the Eldridge House at 7 o'clock tonight. I have something of vital interest to you. It is of such importance that I cannot even whisper it to you here."
Such was the mysterious message delivered to a well-known sophomore yesterday after chapel by a well-dressed dark-complexioned stranger. He took the student aside and into it in the room-to make the shroud sensation.
The student went.
He was taken to a well-furnished room and seated in a deep leather chair. The stranger pulled down the blinds, and offered the student a cigar from a heavily monogrammed Russia case. Then dragging the remaining chair in front of him, he leaned over, touching his guest on the arm, said in low, apprehensive tones;
"I have looked up your record at the University. I find it is A one. My professors give you the highest recommendations. There is one thing that you need to make you highly successful. You need to meet the outside world. I am prepared to give you opportunity not only to get this training but to make at least $350 a month on the argain.
REGENTS ELECTED A NEW CHANCELLOR
"Here is a record of what students did last year—"
But the sophomore had fled. Yes,it was a book-agent.

But It Was at a Meeting Just Forty-Seven Years
PLANNED TO OPEN UNIVERSITY
Ago
Had About $5,000 in Sight and Ex
pected The Citizens of Lawrence
to Furnish Rooms.
The present meeting of the Board of Regents is being held on the forty-seventh anniversary of the first meeting of the Board of Regents appointed for the University.
"The first meeting was held in the council chamber of the city of Lawrence March 20, 1865," said a historically inclined member of the faculty this morning, "and only seven of the fourteen members were present. They elected a Chancellor, Rev.R.W. Oliver, rector of the Episcopal church of Lawrence. They also elected a librarian from their own membership."
At this meeting the Board decided to open the University—at least a preparatory department—as soon as the Lawrence should furnish suitable rooms.
Then as now, the financial question was the prevailing one in the minds of the members of the Board. The first Board had difficulty in getting together $5,000 to start the institution that now represents an investment of $2,000,000 and requires half a million dollars a year to maintain it.

RESTRICT GIRLS' ATHLETICS
Barnard College Forbide Participation in More Than One Sport
The Athletic Association of Barnard has just decided that any student who goes out for one of the major sports, which consist of hockey, basket-ball, and baseball, may be permitted to play on only one team during a season.
This is done to prevent the best athletes among the young women from getting the best places on more than one team, thus keeping their less fortunate college mates from taking a prominent part in athletics.

MRS. PARK, SUFFRAGIST,
PATS CUB ON THE BACK
University Needs a Suffrage Organization Among the Men, She Says
"What the University of Kansas needs is a suffrage organization among the men," said Mrs. Maud Woods Park, after her speech in chapel this morning. I have been told that a Mr. Baer, who I believe is connected with the Daily Kansan, is just the man to start this movement, as he is one of the few men who are members of the active working organization at the present time. The organization for both men and women is a fine thing in its way, but I think that more interest would be shown among the men if they had a separate organization."
When asked if she did not think it unfair to compare the spread of education among women in the past century to the present growing demand for the ballot, in view of the fact that the ballot carried with it no educational qualifications, Mrs. Park said that she did not regard as highly as she formerly did, the idea of a restricted ballot.
"When I first came out of college," said Mrs. Park, "I held academic tenets in regard to an educational qualification for voters, but I have now dismissed the idea, as democratic. Besides the very thing that the women are demanding is absolute equality, and we base our claims on the fact that our government is for all kinds of people alike.
"I believe that more interest will be shown by the women in national elections than they show now in city elections in Kansas. One who has worked with me hand can never tell how well she will like her new sewing machine."
PRESIDENT KING WILL
CONDUCT A ROUND TABLE
This meeting will take place of the regular Thursday evening meeting for the week. After the round table there will be an election of officers.
President King will conduct a round table nest Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. meeting. He will answer, from his own experience, questions touching on the religious life of college men. All men are welcome to this meeting and anyone present will be free to ask questions.
SHE TALKED STRAIGHT INTO MEN'S HEARTS
Mrs. Maude Wood Park Told Some Things About Equal Suffrage
MEN WERE GOOD LISTENERS
Under Our Present System of Government by the People, Half of Them are Forgotten," She Said
"The movement for equal suffrage is the result of two modern ideas," said Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the Intercollegiate Equal Suffrage League, in chapel this morning. "First, 'government by the people'; and secondly, the new ideal of women which differs so widely from the old and antiquated notion."
Mrs. Park said that in our present system of government by the people, half of them are forgotten, and maintained that women should share the right to govern with the men as they now share educational, property, and industrial rights. She showed that legislative bodies pass laws relating to morals, child labor, pure food and like questions in which the women are interested as much as most men are interested in tariff or banking laws.
"If our nation, or any of the states, would adopt new constitutions this year I have no doubt but that our rights would be recognized; and it is only because we have to do what was done before ideals of liberty were established that the movement has not already accomplished more than it has."
The speaker traced the growth of equal suffrage in America, showing that where one state adopted the plan, that state's neighbors soon took up the same policy. "This is good evidence that the system is a success."
"Women should not view the matter in a personal light, saying that they oppose the movement because they have no personal desire to vote. We should rather consider the localities where the women do want to vote, and where they can undoubtedly accomplish much good by doing so. Decide the matter on its merits." Mrs. Park declared with emphasis.
In closing, the speaker made an appeal to the men present to vote for the Kansas amendment which will be adopted or rejected next November. "Consider the matter in the light of justice and fair play. Give to Kansas women the full rights of citizenship."
Club Chose Representatives
At a meeting of the Good Government Club which was held last week a communication was read from the Intercollegiate Civic League asking that the club send a representative to the meeting of the league which will be held in New York in April. It was decided to appoint Jerome Beatty and E. A. Slosson, both alumni of the club, as the delegates from the society.
The meeting was held at the Phi Delta Theta house.
