When Finished
The photographic discovery by Clyde Tombaugh, a former Kansas farmer had of the "trans-Netatium" oil and Kansans in the field of science. This sight which has caused so much excitement among wary men may be seen by the astronomers of Kansas in the near future, with the completion of KU's orbit approximately the same size as the one used at the Lowell observatory at Fingstaff, Ariz, by Tombaugh, or be equipped to take photograph
H. F. Balmer, acting head of the astronomy division of the department of physics, not having an assistant, has indicated to make statements as to the relative size, but from the released telescope that he sees, the planet to be about as distinct as a golf ball would look in a large obedient reflector at a distance of seven miles.
The discovery of the planet is the most important since that of Neptune in 1846 and opens up new study areas, including the astronomers as to the regular movement of the planets. The trans-Neptunian or unnamed planet is also known because it is a macritic research to discover the cause of irregularities in the movement of the planet Neptune. These irregularities in movement of Uranus were the first evidence for irregularities in the tone. This planet was calculated by Dr. Perkins Lowell over thirty years ago but it remained the observer's focus until recent years of apprais to confirm his theory.
This ninth major planet of the solar than Uranus. The new planet, actually larger than the earth but on another planet, would need New Horizons to the estimate of Professor Balmer, made from the Lowell report is about four billion miles from the sun.
Husker Rifle Team Wins Missouri Valley Matches
Chicago, March 15—(UPI) If man been inhabitants in alien space planting around at four billion miles away in space, they are barely busy with life. The nitrogen would be a solid and oxygen a dense liquid, such was the concen- sence of opinion among Chicago astronomers. It was pointed out that the newly discovered planet receive its own heat and sunlight as the earth.
The naming of the planet will probably follow that used in the other two discoveries, after some Greek rod.
Results of the matches fired from Feb. 15 to March 8 in the Missouri Valley Ride league have been received by all three Meyers, of the military department.
Four matches were fired and the targets sent to Capt. R. C. Jones at a military base in a U.S. official officer, who checked the scores. Throughout the matches the contest has seemed to be a dull between Nesawani and his finally compiling the most points.
JAYHAWKERS PLACE IN FOUR EVENTS IN ILLINOIS RELAYS
Nobrakna tabulated an exceptionally high score, being 300 points above Kansas who compiled what is considered the greatest team in Lieutenant Myers, the Cornhuskens probably shot one of the highest scores fired this year in the United States.
The final standings are Nebraska 10 points; Missouri, 17; Kansas Agies, 12; Kansas 8; Washington University, 4.
W.S.G.A. Will Try Election All Over Again Tomorrow
Australian Ballot System to be Employed to Carry Out Procedure Carried out
Correctly
At the mass meeting of all the women of the University, held in Fraser University, Mr. Stahl presented a report of W.S.G.A., explained that a serious situation had arise in the election hold last Thursday; that out of 153 voters, only 12 were to be identical, and 12 more ballots with the 112 except for one vote.
These facts were obvious in spite of the fact that there was a long list of candidates for almost every place. The election was wrong, immediately stopped its work of counting, and upon close investigation of the situation found two other ballot boxes that had been consistently for one class office.
Miss Weidman, by way of proving that the action which the council took in calling a re-election was legitimate, road statements from the W.S.G., A. constitution committee to every woman in the University and an article giving the election board the privilege of taking the above measures whenever it was discovered that elec-
tors or the candidates had placed place.
Explain Action of Council
"Liberty," defined Miss Weidman, "is the right which every woman in the University has to vote her own choice. Because she is ordered by her seniority sisters or other members of an alignment in which she might find herself." Miss Weidman also explained that voters must be "promptly tourning. Violators are those who set up a group of candidates which they want in office and instruct all the members of the committee formed to vote for the approved candidates.
Promises Extreme Measures
After having read these statements Miss Weldman emphasized the fact that the constitution had been written in 1789. She said such violations should take place in the future the board would take more extreme measures than were taken
A by law providing a penalty for such offences, and for a court of appeal that the election be tried was presented by the election board to the council at the meeting. G.A. president, "that the election was very poorly conducted and I assure you that the election Monday will be made more public," in a meeting of the election board previous to the mass meeting that in the next week will vote, alone in a booth and that if more than one woman was seen to enter a booth that both ballots worked
Explains Folding of Ballots
Instructions were given at the mass meeting for the folding of the ballots in such a manner that a corner might be clipped without exposing the map to thoseote to those conducting the election.
Because of a regulation under the point system, Marjorie Karatean, a cane skater with the WCA, has withdrawn her name since her decision to the office of 'W.CA-C'
The new election will be held Monday, from 8 a.m., until 5 p.m. in the basement of the central Administration building.
