Kansas at Manhattan has 18 to

the team will do the same thing to
Louisville.
Dope this year has already been up set too many times to promise any thing in the way of winning Missouri Valley basketball games.
Aggies Rally Last Half
Ames has shown plenty of opposition the season but have lacked the punch to come through the latter part of the games as strong they started out. Nevertheless, to win them, the team must for them, and again it may not.
The Aggies won last night only after a seven minute rally in the last quarter of the season, we were leading at the half only by one. True, the Aggies showed good form, but even then it was through the ropes. The teamman that they scored so frequently
Ames Has Strong Start
The contest tonight promises to be an evenly matched battle, for two teams of eight players and both teams are short men, and second because these short men are speedy and their methods of driving and pivoting will make it a hard fought.
Staver and King, stars of the Ames quintet, were injured in last night's battle but promise to be in condition to start the game tonight.

Kansas will also be crippled, but will be in better condition than expected when the team returned last week from its Oklahoma invasion.

With this prospect the lineup to night will keep the "pony express" intact with the exception of Thompson. Newland will undoubtedly start in Thompson's place with Schmidt in the first round, Carter, and Jeffrey, and McGurk, guards.
Ilen Is Sick
Coach F. C. Allen was reported sick this morning but it is hoped he will be able to be present at the game.
Dodd, Burton, Henderson, Goell are other players who may see action to night.
The contest will be called at 7:30 p. m.

Drafts for Science Hall to Be Ready This Week

The first draft of the plans for the new science building will be ready for approval this week. Charles B. Robertson, who was a teacher in toured, as quickly as the plans are approved by the board of regents, concludes that the foundation will begin on the new building will be built.

The buildings and grounds department, is preparing to get out the necessary rock which will be furnished the contractors for the new building. It will set months to get out the rock. In the opinion of Mr. Bayles it will probably take an excess of 5,000 cubic yards of work for this work.

Faculty Assists Students to Make Choice of Courses
Lawson Believes Tentative
Programs of Classes
Will Accelerate
Enrollment
"Everyone who expects to be in the University next semester should know his exact schedule before enrollment begins, Paul B. Lawson, assistant director of college, who is in charge of advisory work in the College, said this morning."
For the past two weeks, student advisers, and major advisers have held open hours for all students desiring private consultation. Several notice have appeared in the University Daily Kansan, and 35 poster were distributed throughout the campus, reminding the students of this upper-
Advice Helps Choice
The object of the pre-enrollment consultation is to give the student a chance to talk things over in quiet; give the matter of choosing subjects due consideration; to make out a tentative schedule; and to demolish critic students who say that they need the guidance through the line on enrolment day.
This method of arranging a tentative schedule was first tried last year with the freshman class. Those who tried the plan found it quite successful, so this semester it was arranged for their final exam. The seniors inimini may have this opportunity.
Today is the last chance for students to hold conferences with their advisers. Already 265 seniors have seen their advisers and their final enrollment completed. Other seniors are in the process of through the regular procedure to enroll.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who have prepared tentative schedules, will merely go through the line to have the subjects checked on their enrollment cards. In case some classes are filled, they have already consulted about probable supplementary courses, where the enrollment is thereby hastened.
Dean Lawson said that they were "trying to get away from criticism which has often been made that students do not have adequate opportunity for consultation in the choice of their programs. We urgently desire the co-operation between institutions taking advantage of these pre-employment conferences which we hope to make a regular part of our system if the students show that they want it."
“Perhaps in a year or two no one will be allowed on the enrollment floor who has not already prepared n entative program.”
Vocational Civics to Be Added to High Curriculum
Oread Has New Course
Vocational civics is the name of a new course to be offered to the students of Orend High School. The new course is an addition to the social science department and will be taught by Melvin, supervisor of the department.

Lyon, a well known Amer-ican writer and author of book makes a survey of professions and trades all the way from social work to carpentry. An idea of the nature of the work and prerequisite for professional profession is discussed by the author.
- "This course is being offered for two reasons," Professor Melvin announced. "First, it will serve as a guide to the high school student who chooses his life work. Second, it will enable the student who goes on to college to better select the proper course." Professor Melvin and Dr. J. W. Twente, director of Oread High School, is instrumental in starting the course.
The course is intended primarily for students entering the school the second semester, but any student will be permitted to take it.
