Sophomores Think That the Elec tive System Is Unkind.
ARE NOT SATISFIED.
"Gee! that's a long line; I've just waited hours," said a sophomore girl yesterday, who sat on a table in Snow hall, dangling her feet as she waited for her turn at getting an O. K. on her card. Almost a roomfull of sophomores were taking turns at pleading with their advisors in order to secure a strictly elective course which appealed to them. Most of them were heard to remark, as they left, "This course doesn't suit me at all."
A Case of Diphtheria.
Geo. F. Beezeley, a junior in the Law School from Girard, Kan., was taken siek Sunday morning at the Pi Upsilon house.

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

The January meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society was held in the new Y. M. C. A. building, at Kansas City, Mo., Saturday. The evening was devoted to the discussion of the food laws from all standpoints. Mr. Rudolph Hirsel and others spoke for the jobbers Professor Jackson and Dr. Crumbine represented the state. Mr. A. V. H. Mory, head of the United States food and drug inspection laboratory at Kansas City, presented the federal department's views. Dr. Walter M. Cross, city chemist of Kansas City, Mo., took the city's side. The meeting was a very successful one and well attended.
According to the custom, the February meeting should be held in Lawrence. It has, however, been decided to hold it in Kansas City. Mr. Curtis, head of the U. S. assay laboratory in Kansas City, and formerly city chemist of New York, will talk on his work, and Dr. Cross will describe a system he has discovered for disposing of city sewage at a large profit. The meeting should be one of considerable interest to all chemical and mining engineers, and it is planned to arrange a trip through the city and government laboratories for all of them who wish to go.
NUMBER 44
CONSULTED WITH HUNTER
Wyandotte County Fruit Growers Visit University Professor.
Gerald Holsinger of Rosedale, Marshall Chandler of Argentine, and George H. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo.,prominent fruit growers and nursery men of Wyandotte county, were in Lawrence Friday afternoon by appointment, to consult with Prof. S. J. Hunter about horticultural conditions in their communities.
Mr. Holsinger was a student in the University of Kansas about 1888, after which he took the course in the naval academy at Anapolis, Md. In the latter line of activity he made several trips around the world, but is now engaged in the fruit business in Wyandotte county.
The finance committee of the University Y. M. C. A. held a "feed" at Vic's Friday evening. Under the leadership of Ralph Cole, chairman of the committee, and J. F. Gilliland, treasurer of the association, the men discussed financial plans for the year. There were nineteen commiteeem present.
Faculty Ladies' Tea.
The ladies of the faculty will give a tea Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock in the classical museum. All young women students and wives of students are cordially invited.
Financiers Had a Feed.
THE RESERVES TOOK SECOND
PIKEWAY LADS NO MATCH FOR HAMILTON'S PETS.
First Game Was 46 to 7 and the Last One Was 34 to 13.
Last night's basket-ball game was a tame affair in spite of the fact that not a regular of the Varsity squad was sent in by Coach Hamilton. The score was 34 to 13 in favor of Hamilton's reserves.
Though the game was not much as basket ball it was amusing from the spectator's point of view. As the dramatic critic would say, it furnished many amusing situations. The men on both teams spent almost as much time sitting on the floor as they did standing on it. The boxing exhibitions were classy and had Dr. Naismith's coming boxing champs witnessed the bouts they would have obtained some useful points.
Credit must be given the locals, however, as they did nobly for their first appearance. Van der Vries accepted his chances for goals well and the guarding of Larson kept down the visitors' score.
The Washington team was greatly weakened by the absence of Etlinger, their big center.
To say that the game Saturday evening was a farce would be putting it mildly indeed. The Pikeway boys were in a class by themselves and that class was just thirty-nine points lower than that of Hamilton's Huskies. The final count was 46 to 7.
In one department, however, they excelled. Their ability to roll the ball about the floor was far above the standard of the locals. It is rumored in places of authority that by mistake the crack five-man bowling team of Washington University was sent here instead of the basket-ball five.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon of the First Congregational church at Topcka, will be at the University next week, spending five days here. During the time he will lecture daily to the students, before the religious organizations of the school and will also speak in chapel.
Sheldon Here Next Week.
The feature of the game was the sprinting of Mr. H. Ashley, referee, who, though matched against such men as Johnson and Martindell, showed unexpected form considering his lack of training. He was tiring fast when Dick Waring, timekeeper, stopped the game.
Fred Wulfekuhler and Edward Fritsche of Leavenworth visited at the Phi Gam house Saturday and Sunday.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Wednesday; moderate temperature.
OKLAHOMA TEAM CHOSEN.
Griffin and Erdman Will Go Against Sooners.
At the final try-out last week for places on the Oklahoma debating team, W. L. Griffin, junior college, and W. A. Erdman, senior college, were chosen to represent this institution against the Sooners. Streeter Blair was chosen alternate. The question for this debate is the postal savings banks and, as in the Colorado debate, Kansas has the negative of this proposition.
According to the system of awards announced some time ago by the Debating council, Mr. Griffin will receive $25 and Mr. Erdman an Imperial dictionary.
FOR DAIRY INSPECTION.
Physiology Classes Will Observe Conditions at Haskell
The classes in physiology will go to Haskell Thursday to inspect and examine the Haskell dairy, which is considered to be the best and most sanitary in the state. The purpose of the trip is to get material for papers on the best way to care for milk and how to protect it from disease germs.
The classes have been doing some excellent practical work. During the term they have had a course of fifteen lectures on the various modern problems of health. They have inspected the plans for ventilation and water supply in several different high schools of the state and have written papers in which the good points have been set forth and corrections for the defects have been suggested.
Is a Successful Speaker.
Dr. Sudler Elected President.
Arthur Brisbane, the editor of the New York Journal, who will speak in chapel tomorrow morning, has the reputation of being a forcible and entertaining public speaker. He has had considerable experience in political campaigns in New York. On one occasion he is said to have made a speech before a hostile gathering of capitalists whom he had been fighting in the Journal, and to have been greeted with hearty applause at the close of his talk, whether he succeeded in bringing his hearers to his point of view or not.
At the last meeting of the Douglas County Medical society, Dr. M.T. Sudler, dean of the Medical School, was elected president, and Drs. Chambers and Smith, also connected with the Medical School, were elected to the positions of secretary and treasurer respectively. This society is solely for scientific purposes and meets every month in Lawrence.
FOUR WANT THE PLACE
WOULD COACH JAYHAWK-ERS NEXT YEAR.
Herrnstein, Shulz, Wasmond, and Levine, All Want to Replace Kennedy.
According to information given out this morning by members of the athletic board, there are four men at present desirous of replacing Bert Kennedy next fall as Jayhawker football coach. As yet no definite action has been taken by the board with regard to selecting a mentor for the Kansas squad next season, but from present indications there seems to be little doubt but that Kennedy will be the man.
Kennedy has done much good work with the team during the past several years and together with Mosse has proved almost invaluable to Kansas University athleties. Nothwithstanding this handleap, the four others are still waiting for the decision.
The question of salary may arise with the hiring of Kennedy. Both he and Mosse have been receiving salaries which do not compare with those given to coach-in institutions of similar standing to Kansas. Kennedy has been receiving $1,200 and Mosse $800 per season. Both men would appreciate a raise and there is some talk that one may be granted. Kennedy at the same time says that he will either coach Kansas during the coming season or will give up the game.
The four other men who are looking forward with anxious faces toward the Kansas mentorship are Herrnstein of Michigan and famous coach of the 1903 and 1904 Haskell team; Schulz, who was a member of the Michigan team four years, being captain in his last season and who has since assisted Coach Yost for a year; Wasmond, quarterback on the Michigan team last year; and Devine, an old Princeton man.
