CAN'T CROSS THE CAMPUS
COLD STOPS WORK ON THE CAR LINE.
Will Be March 1 Before Cars Run Across the Hill Top, Says the Manager.
The students who had fond hopes of riding up to the University on the street cars after the holidays, returned to find their dreams faded. And the manager of the Lawrence car line this morning sentenced the whole student body to walk up and down the hill all the rest of the winter.
"No street cars will run across the University campus before March 1," was the terse statement made by Superintendent Skinner. "This winter weather has tied us up, and we can do nothing until the ground thaws, which will probably be two months from now.
"Yes, we've got a grade built through Marvin grove," he said in answer to a question concerning the work already done, "but it is made of frozen dirt and will sink a couple of feet, or more, as soon as the warm weather comes, so we dare not lay any track on it till then."
3,000 SENIORS.
High Schools of Kansas Will Graduate Big Crowd.
During the holidays, the registrar's office completed a list of all the high school seniors in the state of Kansas. There are about 3,000 names on the list.Copies of the University catalog will be sent to all of these boys and girls as soon as the catalog is published.
Are Working on Catalog.
The University does the handsome thing by the smaller colleges of the state by sending them copies of the list. This saves the high schools the trouble of making a separate list for each college, and at the same time gives the colleges and equal chance with the University to secure the high school graduates as students.
Members of the faculty are working on the new catalog for the year 1909-10. It is expected that all the manuscript will be ready for the printer by February 1. The committee on catalog, of which Professor Olin is chairman, expects the departmental material to be handed to them by January 15.
Sam Forter, whose "educated toe" scored the Kansas victory over Missouri in 1907, visited yesterday at the Beta house. Mr. Forter is engaged at present in engineering work on a big irrig- tion project at Gooding, Idaho.
L. H. Mosser, a sophomore in the College, recently received a prize of $25 from the book company for which he worked last summer, for putting in the greatest number of hours in a certain length of time.
John L. Black, '08, who has been attending the University of Chicago this last fall, returned to Chicago Monday evening, after spending the holidays with his parents in the city.
Norman Gross, a former student in the School of Engineering, is quite sick at his home in Russell.
ATHLETES AWARDED.
Senior Football Men Were Giver Letters of Recognition.
Twenty-one white "V" necked jerseys have been received by the senior class committee and are being awarded to the members of the class who played in at least one full half of the inter-class games.
The jerseys were received from Spalding's and have the numerals "10," in blue on them.
"That reminds me," said a member of the freshman team in 1906, upon seeing one of the new jerseys, "that the athletic board gave twelve of our class permission to wear the "10" numeral at the end of the first year season. It seems to me that the class would have shown a little appreciation for our services had it expended a small portion of that $312.18 profit from last year's dances buying us a few numerals."
So saying, he bit his lip and departed.
WONDERFUL BAEKELITE.
Used for Everything, from Chewing Gum to Frictionless Bearings.
According to Frank Brock, baekelite, a new substance recently patented by Dr. Baekeland, is the coming material for almost everything. It makes better pipestems than amber, better billiard balls than ivory, better electric light insulators than porcelain. Ground with graphite, it makes frictionless bearings that need no oil. Shaped into convenient receptacles, it bids fair to replace the tin can in canning industries. Made into varnish, it gives wood a surface that is not affected by acids or boiling water. Incidentally, Mr. Ralph Srucey, who holds Parke-Davis & Co.'s fellowship, has made the discovery that backelite is an ideal antiseptic chewing gum.
BIG COUNTY BANQUET.
Mr. Brock talked to the Chemical club at the last meeting be fore the holidays.
Sumner County Club Entertained Sixty Guests December 23.
Members of the Sumner County club report that the pleasantest and most successful holiday banquet ever held by the club was held at Wellington December 23. The banquet was given at the home of Miss Zella Mitchell. Sixty guests were present, the number including the members of the club, many Sumner county alumni, and the graduating class of the Sumner county high school Merle Prunty, '09, was toastmaster. Roy Spear is president of the club.

INVESTIGATING RECORDS.
Professor Higgins is chairman of a committee appointed by the State Bar association to investigate the charges against the criminal law procedure in this state.
Professor Higgins Making Study of Criminal Procedure.
Letters have been sent to every district judge and to every county attorney in the state asking their views of the law's delay, while every clerk of the district court has been asked to furnish the statistics of the cases filed and tried in his district.
To a Kansan reporter Professor or Higgins said: "The supreme court of Kansas has paid less attention to technical errors in criminal procedure than any other court in the country. However this must not be taken to mean that the present conditions cannot be improved, as the subject demands careful attention before any statement can be made.
"No reforms can be made except through a committee which has time and opportunity to investigate the conditions existing. A state school can make a great return to the state for the money expended in its support by aid ing an investigation into the criminal law of the state and by formulating such reforms as may be needed."
The University has acted in accord with these suggestions and has furnished Porfessor Higgins with facilities for gathering information and making investigations for the use of the State Bar committee.
