Not as a Tail to Pennsylvania's Kite.
However, Butte Kansas Troops.
No Kansas University battalion will be organized to make up a part of the Pennsylvania "college gentlemen's" regiment as outlined in the issue of last week by Dr. Woolrud. The council so decided at a hurried meeting Monday. Bright and early morning morning Coach Woolrud's lieutenants were at work on the hill, circulating among the boys and painting in glowing words the advantage that the "college gentleman" of this University would derive by uniting with the troops of the University of Pennsylvania of which institution as every reader of the Kansas City Star knows, Dr. Wryle G. Woodruff is "formerly of" So great was the enthusiasm of this belligerent "college gentleman" doctor that he called a mass meeting for Monday noon without even thinking of consulting the Chancellor. The council, however, hearing of these extensive preparations, called the mass meeting off and promptly squelched the plan to make K. U. the tail to the University of Pennsylvania's kite.
Nor to tell the truth, had the plan met with much favor with the students. There were many men hot to volunteer, especially as lieutenants, but they could not see why Kansas should enroll as Pennsylvanians any more than as Missourians or New Yorkers. Nor could they see the beauties of the 'college gentleman' plan nor the direct bearing of geneological questions upon the war with Spain.
This does not mean that Kansas University students are not patriotic. It does not mean either that the war fever has not yet struck the 'Varsity.' It merely means that Kansans suit our boys very well as comrades and Colonel Fred Funston as commanding officer. The same morning that the Woodruff regiment was to have been organized, George Rising, Ralph McKinnie and Dick Rodgers began canvassing for volunteers for a company of 'Varsity students for one of the Kansas regiments, preferably Funston's.
Monday afternoon these three boys, encouraged by the number who wanted to go, went to Topeka to see Funston and the governor. They came back Tuesday afternoon tall of encouragement and on Wednesday morning the active work of getting the boys together began. By noon forty names had been placed upon the roll.
These forty met Monday noon and
elected George Rising, captain; R. G. McKinnie, first lieutenant; Dick Rodgers, second lieutenant; Sam Peters, first sergeant; Will Myers, second sergeant; Ed Irwin, third sergeant; Arthur McComb, fourth sergeant. Preparations for immediate and frequent drills were made.
That night Mr. Rising again went to Topeka, this time with Chancellor Snow and Regent Clark, who were both heartily in favor of the plan.
Upon the return of the Chancellor the next morning it was announced from his office that a company of volunteers had been authorized to be made up from the students of the Normal and Agricultural colleges and 'Varsity, the number from each college to be proportional to the number of male students in each.
The turn affairs have taken have very much chagrined our own embryo volunteers. There is no doubt that a full company could be raised here in the 'Varsity' and the boys feel that such being the case, this institution is entitled to a full company. They cannot see any more reason for making our volunteers one detail of a company to be composed otherwise of students from the state's other colleges, than for making it a detail of any other company. Unless the boys can go together then, some are in favor of not going at all. Others are anxious to go anyway. The company will not be wholly recruited for the next eight or ten days and those wishing to join forces with the pedagogues and farmers should hand their names in within that period
As told elsewhere in this issue Juniors and Seniors of 21 years of age enlisting will be given credit for a full year's work
Two More Volumes Kansas Geologica Survey.
The third and fourth volumes of the University[Geological Survey of Kansas are very near completion. Dr. Williston's volume is already in press. It treats of the vertebrate paleontology of the state. It will be the most complete work upon the extinct reptilian monsters yet published.
Sydney Prentice has been at work upon the plates to accompany the volume; the originals of which are to be found only in the museum of the University of Kansas.
The other volume, which will be known as the third, is by Prof. Haworth. It will concern the coal deposits of Kansas and cover all the coal of Kansas. Every possible phase of the subject will be treated. The coal found was treated to an extraordinary number of physical and chemical tests and the whole work will be as elaborate and extensive as it can be made.

The manuscript for a special volume on the Mineral Resources of Kansas by Prof. Haworth has already been handed to the state printer. 4500 copies are to be run off for use and distribution by the University. The State commission for the Omaha Exposition realizing the great possibilities of this scientific work as advertising the richness of Kansas' mineral resources, has asked for copies for distribution. It is presumed that 15,000 of these extras will be issued for the commission

BASE BALL NOTES.
He was made easy, however, when the hotel man let down the bed, and he tumbled in' to dream peacefully of the victory over Ottawa. In the morning when he arose he was unable to turn up the bed. How should he get at the glass to comb his hair? Here was a serious question. It would not look right for him to go over to breakfast with a shaggy head. Presently a happy idea struck him. Lying down on his back he squirmed under the bed, looked square up into the mirror, and carefully arranged his hirsute growth. All would have gone well had he not forgotten to brush the back of his head and his coat, but he was very hungry, and on hastening over to breakfast the uniformly soiled condition of his posterior parts revealed the whole situation. Carrol and Griggs vouch for the truth of this incident though Edmundson insists the boys have greatly overdrawn it.
A score board placed in front of the grand stand would be a great convenience to the base ball patrons and could be set up at very little expense.
The game today is with the deaf mutes at Olathe. In their game with the varsity last year it will be remembered they qui in the fifth inning to catch a train and be ing ahead, claimed the victory. The mutes defeated Baker in a game played about three weeks ago.
A new player who gets on the ball team usually has a hard time of it, especially if he is a freshman. Here is a joke the boys tell on Bob Edmondson, the new right fielder.
J. W. Gleed Lectures to the Law School.
J. Willis Gleed of Topeka began his course of lectures on Real Property to the Senior Law class this week. This is the first time for several years Mr. Gleed has been able to spare the time from his extensive law practice to give this course.
When in Ottawa Monday the team put at the Centennial. As the house was full, one of the boys was obliged to go to the hotel cottage across the street. This litle to the lot of Bob who did not like being put off alone very well. He had never seen a folding bed such as the cottage was furnished with, and when the proprietor showed him to his room, he looked about the narrow apartment, and with his eyes resting on the large mirror in the face of the bed, he remarked to the landlord rather disgustedly: 'There's only a wash stand and a looking glass in here. Do you expect me to sleep on the floor?

States army in war against Spain will be
granted their diplomas if their work is
at present up to the standard and all juniors

PLANS FOR FOWLER SHOPS ACCEPTED.
At the same meeting of the board of regents the offer of Mr. Fowler came officially before that body. The Regents voted unanimously to accept Mr. Fowler's offer. Plans for the shops were submitted by Root & Silmans of Kansas City, Mo., and were accepted. The same firm of architects were employed to take charge of the entire work. The specifications will be completed in detail so that advertisements for bids may be issued within two weeks. The contracts for the building will be a warded at the regular meeting of the regents June 6, 1898.
The building will be located upon the upper plateau, on the extreme southwest corner of the bill. The building will contain the high-pressure boilers, dynamos and engines deeded by the electrical engineering school, and comprising the electric power of the University. The heating plant will be retained in the old boiler house.
Prof. Marvin will use part of the building for his work in Civil Engineering. The testing machines of that department for instance will be in the new building.
The plans now prepared by Root & Silmans will be submitted to Mr. Fowler for his approval. If they are accepted, the building will be put as now planned.
It has been objected that the presence of a boiler house on the hill will be a nuisance because of the smoke, but it is confidently asserted that the character of the smoke consumers to be used will remedy this.
It was at first feared, too, that the ground on that part of the bill was not suitable for the foundation, but it has been discovered that underneath the clay surface is a bed of solid rocks, offering a good basis for the foundation of the new structure.
WISE COUNSEL.
takes more patriotism to enlist later when the seriousness of war is more apparent than under the first spell of excitement and enthusiasm."
At the conclusion of Mr.Gleed's remarks the audience sang America and dispersed. At the door they were met by guides from the office who furnished every student with a printed copy of the Faculty addressed written by Prof. Marvin and which had been read by the Chancellor.
