IN MARINE LABORATORY
PROF. BAUMGARTNER TO PACIFIC COAST.
Will Spend Summer Months Teaching at Puget Sound Biological Station.
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner of the department of zoology, has been appointed a member of the teaching staff at the Puget Sound Marine Biological Laboratory. His work there will begin next June It will not in any way conflict with his work at the University as the sessions of the laboratory are held only during the summer months.
The Puget Sound laboratory is at Friday Harbor, where a University expedition went last summer on a collecting trip. Professor Baumgartner was a member of the party and it was at this time that the directors of the laboratory became acquainted with him. The laboratory is supported by the Universities of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming, together with other universities and colleges of the northwest.
It is the plan of the directors to organize the work of the laboratory on somewhat the same plan as that of the marine laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., and make it a center of research work for the middle west and the Pacific coast. Friday Harbor and its vicinity are unusually rich in specimens of marine life.
Professor Baumgartner's work will be to give a course of six weeks in length, but just what work he will offer at the laboratory has not been decided upon.
FOR MINING BUILDING.
Fowler Shops Busy Making the Needed Equipment.
Six new cement top tables with iron pipe foundations are being built by the University at their shops for the mineralogy laboratory in the Mining Engineering building.
These tables will stand about four feet off the ground and will rest upon a framework of two 2 inch pipe. The top will be built of Portland cement the dimensions being four by eight feet. The students of the blowpipe class will use these tables in their blowpipe analysis. Only about eight pupils can use one table, thus ac commodifying about fifty students
Heretofore the students used ordinary tables covered with asbestos pads. These were unsatisfactory, as there was great danger of fire, but the new ones will be absolutely fire proof.
A large cabinet about six feet long and about six feet tall is also being built by the University shops for the library and will have room enough for all of the magazine, papers, and periodicals which the mining department subscribes to.

PIANO PUPIL'S ACCIDENT.
Fell on Ice and Broke Thumb and Forefinger.
Nida Starkweather, a special in the School of Fine Arts, fell on the ice Thursday, as she was returning home from North College, fracturing the thumb and forefinger of her right hand. Her physician said last night that she would be unable to use the hand for several weeks, and her thumb, which suffered the worst fracture, would always give her trouble, especially in piano-playing, which she is studying. Miss Starkweather lives with her parents at 1217 Rhode Island street.
Prof. P. A. Glenn went to Wichita Wednesday to carry out some of the orders that have been given by the Entomological commission in regard to the work of spraying trees in that neighborhood. Under the direction of Prof. S. J. Hunter a detailed inspection of the fruit trees of about eighty square miles has been made in Sedgwick county. The farmers and horticulturists are enthusiastic about the results being obtained.

"But," answered the upper-classman, with a knowing smile, "think how you and Willie can spend that extra hour strolling about the campus on warm spring afternoons when the birds are singing in the trees—" Here she suddenly remembered that her gold tooth was showing and quickly closed her lips.
The Engineering building being as cold as usual, I came over to Fraser hall to thaw out. On strolling near the board where the new spring schedule had recently been put up, I couldn't help pausing to notice two fair co-eds looking at the schedule, one apparently a freshman and the other an upperclassman. Now what do you think I heard them say? Here it is: “Merey,” sighed the little one, feeling her hair to make sure that her rat was still there. “I just have to have an 8 o'clock and Willie hasn't one till 9.”
KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan.
“Oh! that's right, besides I'll have that new spring dress that”—Here I swallowed my chewing tobacco and went back to the Engineering building, disgusted. Do you blame me?
Editor of Kansan:
Sir—Some time ago—about a year, in fact—there was elected at the University an organization known as the Student Council. At the time the Student Council was organized rosy hopes were held out to the trusting student body that the Council might take some part in University afairs and even have some authority in student government.
ENGINEER.
Now another chance to bring about a lasting reform presents itself to the Student Council. For several years there has been an agitation against the system of conducting quizzes. Professors and students are alike opposed to the present clumsy and unjust system. Now if the Student Council really wishes to accomplish something, here's a chance to prove whether it really is a part of the University. only been lying dormant or whether, as has been occasionally suspected, it is merely a home for defeated candidates.
KICKER.
To the Editor of the Kansan :
SENIOR LAW.
Through the columns of the Kansan I wish to "kick" on the fact that the law library is not kept open in the evening. This fact works a hardship on the men working their way through school and must work down town in the afternoon, for it forces them to do all of their library work between 8 and 9 a.m. This crowds the library during the early morning hours and makes it practically impossible to obtain certain books which are always in demand. It seems to me that the law library should be run in the same manner as the general library, so as to give every student a fair chance to do his library reading.
Good Words for "Ysbrand."
From the Lawrence Journal.
It is beginning to dawn even upon our own people that there is a great University up on the hill. Nothing illustrated this more than the play presented at the opera house last night. For the first time in English the play "Ysbrand" by Van Eden, was given and it was given by students of the Kansas State University. The conception of the work was great and the interpretation was along the lines of the author. This play has attracted more attention than anything the University has ever done. It has been advertised all over the United States. It was a mighty advance for the University and showed what can be done in a great school. The Journal wants to compliment the University on the great success that has attended this play. It is what is needed.
