To the Students of the School of Law:
I hereby announce my candidacy as a representative to the Men's Student Council from the Law school.
My platform stands upon a basis working not only for the individual interests, but also for the collective interests of the Law students. Through my experience on the University Daily Kansan and in taking active interest in all University affairs, I feel fully qualified to give a strong unprejudiced representation on the Council.
I hold myself open to the decision of the eligible voters in the School of Law at the polls tomorrow. May 9. (Signed) Russell H. Clark.

I believe in the elimination of all graft and in the square policy of a square deal.

FIRST REAL SHOTS
FIRED LAST NIGHT
Things are Primed For a Live lly Student Council Elec tion Tomorrow
VAN HOUTEN AND COATS TALK
Rival Candidates for Presidency Spea in Myers Hall Before Large Crowd of Students
The first big gun of the commencement of the battle of the Student Council election was fired in Myers Hall last night. There has been a rattle of light musket for the last two weeks; real damage to the front has now the battle is raging in full force.
A large and enthusiastic audience of the representative student body gathered last night for the purpose of bringing up the real gist of the campaign. Ray Soper presided at the meeting and after a short introductory talk called Arch McKinnon, the president of the Student Council, to the floor.
MacKinnon said that it depended on the students as to whether or not they should elect men who were entirely capable of filling their positions and be strictly representative of the student body, or men who only had a selfish interest in the furtherance of their own cause.
The candidates for the presidency of the Council were both present and speeches were called for from them...
Charles M. Coats made the first talk, in which he reiterated and exemplified the platform which he is running on. He said that if he were elected it was his intention to carry out the present policy of the Student Council and to do his best, with the concurrence of the councillors, to eliminate all questions of faith. It is said he believed that the Student Council should be the most far-reaching organization, as well as a body on which the most responsibility rests, of any association of students in the University of Kansas.
The other candidate for the presidency, E. A. Van Houten, made a short sound and able talk to the point that as he was already a member of the Student Council, he was in a good position to continue their present policy and to encourage such would be advantageous to the men on it and the University as a whole.
The whole meeting was a reminder of the old-fashioned days when opposing candidates spoke in turn from the same platform or the back end of the same spring wagon. The meeting was successful and no doubt more interest will be taken in the election this year than ever before.
Rupert Peters, of Kansas City, Mo. will give an illustrated lecture on the Salmon Industry in the Northwest in Snow hall lecture room, Frighy at 2:30.
Several other candidates for membership on the Student Council were present, and gave short talks outlining their plans for making the support of the men present.
Professor C. H. Ashton, of the department of mathematics will entertain for the faculty and graduate students of the department, at his home, Friday evening, May 10.

STUDENT ENTERPRISE ASS'N IS NO MORE
Will Be Controlled in Future by Joint Board Subject to Conditions
RASIE THE PRICE OF TICKETS
The Purpose is To Admit Other Student Organizations And Make The Purchase Compulsory.
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council held last night, the scheme on which the Council has been working for the past year was completed and approved by both Student Councils and the Student Enterprise Association whereby the Associated Student Enterprises reinstalled all its rights and future be controlled by a joint board, subject to an number of conditions.
The board of control will consist of one representative from each enterprise and three members each from the two student councils. The Men's Student Council, however will formulate all of the rules for the government of the associated Student Enterprises and will regulate the admission of new members to the Association and the price of tickets will be regulated by the joint board.
ONE VOTE FOR EACH ENTERPRISE
The voting in this joint board shall be as follows. Each enterprise shall have one vote and the representatives of the Student Councils shall cast one vote for every hundred tickets sold to the members of the student body which they represent.
Among other agreements made are the retention of the present method of apportionment of the funds derived from the sale of the tickets until the transfer to the appointing of the treasurer of the University as custodian of the funds.
The purpose of the Men's Student Council in taking over this enterprise is to admit other student organizations, to raise the price of the tickets and if possible to make their purchase compulsory.
The Associated Student Enterprises was merely a makeshift formed before the Student Council was organized at the University, and all persons concerned in the new plan are very much in favor of it and feel that it will solve all difficulties which have hitherto confronted them. It is at present composed of six organizations, the Glee Club, the Band, Debating Council, Athletic Association, Mandolin club and Orchestra.

DYCHE'S FISH CAR LEFT TOPEKA TODAY
The "Angler" Will Distribute Fish as Far West as Colorado.
Prof. L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden, and his fish car, "Angler," left Topeka this morning at 9:40 o'clock on Rock Island train No. 35, and today and tomorrow will distribute fish along the Rock Island's Colorado line as far west as Colby.
The car is stocked with 12,000 fish of various kinds. A few fish will be dropped at various points to be placed in nearby streams, but most of the fish will be distributed among the farmers along the route. Hundreds of farmers and others who have written to the state hatchery at Pratt during the last winter and spring asking for fish have been notified of the schedule of the fish car for the present trip, and will be on hand at the various stops to get young fish to place in their ponds and streams. Last week the state fish car traveled along the Central Branch to the western part of the state distributing young fish. Next week it will make another trip across the state from east to west, probably along the Missouri Pacific or Union Pacific, and later along the other railroad lines of the state. "We are placing most of our fish this spring with farmers who have ponds which they want to stock," said Professor Dyche. "We are placing a few in the streams, but we have so many requests for fish for ponds and from people who will take care of them that we have not enough fish to stock the streams as we like. We are stocking some of the small streams that have good water supplies, and after we get the additions to our hatchery completed we will be able to stock all the streams of the state."
During the winter and spring all requests for fish which are recyling by the warden are placed on file at the hatchery office at Pratt. Before the spring trips of the f$car$, a postal emissary to each of the farms, notifying him on what date and hour the fish car will be at his nearest railroad station.

ERNEST VAN DYKE, OF CHERRYVALE, DROWNS
Freshman Engineer Attacked by Heart Failure in PotterLake
GEO. BABB RECOVERED BODY
Two and a Half Hour Fight to Save Student's Life Began Immediately But to No Avail.
While crossing Potter Lake for the last time before returning to the gymnasium for his clothing Ernest Van Dyke, a freshman in the School of Engineering from Chevyville, Kansas, became exhausted in the center of the lake and was drowned at a quarter after five yesterday.
The body was recovered and brought to the shore of the lake by George Babb, an instructor in the physical education department, five minutes after the student was seen to pitch forward and sink to the bottom, and artificial respiration was started immediately by Dr. Naismith who took charge of the work in attempting to restore the young man to life when he was brought on the raft to the shore.
At twenty minutes to eight last night, two hours and a quarter after the attempts to restore the man to life were started, the corps of eight physicians were forced to give up their fight. The body was then removed to the undertaking rooms of Lesher and Power Undertaking Company where it was embalmed and placed in a casket this morning. The drowned student's father was notified by telephone last night at seven o'clock and he arrived in Lawrence this morning from Cherryvale at nine-fifty.
A motion was entertained by the physicians who attended the body at Potter Lake last night for a post mortem examination, if the permission of the boy's father could be obtained, but at twelve o'clock this morning, it had been decided that no examination would be made.
The motion for a post mortem examination was entertained owing to peculiar features attendant upon the circumstances of the drowning—features that left a doubt in the study of the physicians as to whether or not death was due to drowning of the broader cause, heart failure.
Van Dyke and his roommate, Harry McKnight, had been in swimming in the lake for some time when they decided to swim to the southern shore where they left their shoes and then return to the gymnasium to dress. McKnight was swimming stronger and pulled ahead of his companion. When about midway of his roommate and saw him back forward and sink, apparently helpless. McKnight himself was exhausted, but he called to other men on the shore for help.
James Malcolmson, heard the cry and started toward Van Dyke. He reached him and started to the surface of the water with the burden, but he was unable to swim to the surface with the heavy body. Malcolmson jumped into a swimmer, but he is of a very slight build weighing only 115 pounds.
After he was forced to let the body go to the bottom he swam ashore. George Babb ordered several of the men to bring the raft to the center of the lake where Van Dyke had gone down and he began diving to recover the body. After the fifth dive he was able to find it and he brought it to the surface, placed it on the raft and took it to the shore. There Dr. Naismith, who had been called from the gymnasium, took charge of the work and started artificial respiration.
In a short time, Mr. Root and Dr. H. T. Jones, Redding, Curran, Chambers, Phillips, and G. W. Jones has been called to the lake and the corps of eight physicians fought to no avail two hours and a quarter for the life of the student. Electrical treatment by storage batteries was applied over the heart and at the spinal column in the hope that the electricity would make a heart reaction, but
