In former years the Jaywalk has been a one o'clock party with good music and good dancing and was always the first party given in Robinson Gymnasium after the close of the basketball season.
The date is set for March 10 with special announcement to be made later.

Management Reports a Sale of 130 During This Semester's Enrollment
During enrollment days the number of subscriptions for 1922 Jayhawkers sold was 130 reports the Jayhawkers management. Since en-
scription of the subscriptions have been taken at the Jayhawker office room 110 Fraser.
"We are well pleased with the way subscriptions came rolling in during enrollment," said Carp Gavin, editor, of the American Public Health planning to keep the good work up.
Every Senior who had not bought his book by February 1 was mailed a personal letter from the Jayhawk management on that day. Final decision of that senior will also be made before the closing date, February 20.
people in the fall are under the impression that they can come around any time after the Jayhawkers are out and purchase the books, but they will find themselves out of luck, because we can't be ordering a whole lot of extra books and running the risk of having them left on our hands," said Elmer Inseb, business manager, this morning. "Every person who wants a 1922 Jayhawk can subscribe for one afternoon in the room, Room 110 Fraser the deal for subscriptions being February 18."
Just three days before the deadline on subscriptions, comes another deadline, February 15, the day when all individual and organization glasses must be in. The 22 management states that it is forced to set this date as the deadline for new subscriptions because any copy sent in after that date will be charged for overtime.

Wet Water Deluges To Zero-hour Grinds
The inmates of Snow Hall are now experiencing the sensations which follow a deluge. On Monday of quiz week while those students who had two months of back work were striving valiantly to make it up in two hours, the water pipes just above the library elected to burst, nearly drowning the poor students to say nothing of the fainting librarian. She regained her compose at one and sent out an S. O. S. The roaring of the water was so great as it rose higher and higher the librarian could "melt" away the pressure "that came across the wire, and冒 in a state of semi-paralysis. Suddenly the deluge ceased. The water had been turned off.
Snow Hall is once more the quiet place it had always been, where people study bugs and cut up plants and animals at their leisure. The water pipes are fixed and the debris cleared away.

Sacred College Chooses ar Italian to Succeed Pope Benedict
ELECTED ON 7TH BALLOT
New Pope is One of Newest Cardinals But is Well
Known
Rome, Feb. 6—Cardinal Ratti was today elected Pope on the seventh ballot of the sacred college. He accepted the office and will assume the name of Pius XI.
The smoke signal from the Vatican was white this morning, and it was later announced to the large crowd which had gathered to await news of the election, that Ratti, an Italian, had been elected.
Ratti's election as not a surprise, although he is one of the newest cardinals, having been created in 1921. After the successful ballot, the secretary of the conclave and the priest proceeded with the robing of the new cardinal. A white robe was put upon Ratti and a secretary of the conference presented to him the white cap which designated him the supreme poiff.
Thus attinued, the new pope retired to the chapel and ascended the throne which had been prepared. The first homage was paid to the pope by the cardinals in order. Cardinal Gaspari who had retained temporary papal authority required to approach the throne to give to Pope Plus the ring of St. Peter.
The head of the cardinal deacon appeared before the throng outside the Vatican which had crowded forward to receive the paupital blessings, and announced the fact that a new pope had been elected.
Following this announcement there was further ceremony to be gone through in the Sistine chapel and later, according to custom, in one of the chapels of St. Peter. The coronation of Pope Pius XI will constitute the last definitive ceremony of all. The precise date is not known as well as the place where it will be held will be designated by the pope himself.
Pope Pius XI is expected to continue the policy of reconciliation with the Italian government and the Gasparri party, which stood for reaproachment between the Quirinal and the Vatican.
Cardinal Ratti in his sixty-fifth year, although he is an Italian, he is better known in Poland where he has been panel representative for sev. months and was consecrated a bishop at Warsaw. The new pope was born at Milan in 1857.
KENT ADDRESSSES TEACHERS
K. U. Dean Attended Franklin County Association
Dean R. A. Kent of the School of Education spent Saturday in Ottawa attending the Franklin County Teachers' Association there.
In the morning he addressed the high school section talking on "The Value of Intelligence Tests." In talking on this subject he stated that the use of these tests had emphasized need of recognizing individual differ-ences in subject matter and method of instruction to such needs in high school.
In his address to all the teachers in the afternoon on "Inequalities in American Educational Opportunities" he brought out four main points; first, that of physical inequalities; second, lack of school children to get learner-academic experience; third, handicap of the school; fourth, school organization; and fourth, the disadvantage of the graded school over the rural school.
New Policy for "Hell Week?"
Fraternities and sororites of the University of Kansas have evidently adopted a new policy in regard to display of "Hell" on the campus. Previously, it has been a custom to carry fraternity baskets but this year relatively few cases have been observed outside the respective chapter houses.
No grade may be obtained from the Dean's Office until three weeks from this date—February 27. Grades received by the student's homes after that time.
Henry Bennett, e21, and George Chandler, e21, of Topeka, attended the Pi Kappa Alpha initiation Sunday.
Floyd Hockenhull, c21, of Topeka,
spent the week end with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hockenhull.
Gifted Violinist Puzzles
Awhile Over Composition
To receive a manuscript written for the violin from a well-known composer which is all discord and altogether unintelligible was the unique experience of Alfred Pochon, second violinist of the Flonzaal Quartet. The composition was from Prof. C. S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts, University of Kansas, and was dedicated to Bennett. Puzzled, Mr. Monckton tried success in to play the piece so that it would be more musical. But the theme seemed to stand out in singularly detached phrases.
Not until he met the other members of the quartet did the mystery unsolve. It developed that Professor Shilton had sent the separate parts of a complete figure to each of the four players, all four played together proved to be a most charming fugue, composed especially for them.

No credit is given for this work.
The class will meet four hours a week,
and be used for demonstration
and the training for creative work in manipulation.
