Eight K. U. Students Attend State Religious Conferences at Emporia
Ed. Todd, President of University Y. M., Presided at Student Volunteer Meetings
More than 250 college and university students from Kansas educational institutions attended the two religious conferences at Emporia Saturday and Sunday of last week. The other were from the University of Kansas.
The two conferences, the State Volunteer Conference and the State Bible Institute, planned for more concentrated religious work among students of Kansas institutions. Ed, Todd, president of the University Y. M. C. school, met the meeting of the State Volunteer Conference or which he is president.
The Bible Institute planned discussion classes in schools of the state regarding the social teachings of Jesus. This action comes as a direct result of the recent Northfield, Mass., conference in which it was found that the religious relation of the student to his life was more developed than the social relation. The purpose of the Bible classes will be to develop this social side.
Hugo Wedell, Katherine Duffield,
Ed. Todd, Mary Brownlee, John Calane
and Alfred Graves were among
those from Lawrence.
Make Gas From Wood
Says O. F. Stafford,'10
Means of Helping Solve Fuel Problem in North-
SUBSTITUTES WASTE WOOD FOR COAL
Orin F. Stafford, a University graduate, has discovered that gas in marketable quantities can be made by utilizing waste wood, according to reports received by his friends in the faculty here. Stafford is head of the department of chemistry in the University of Oregon and it is hoped that his experiments may help to solve the fuel problem throughout the north-west.
ACTIVITIES WASTE WOOD FOR COAL Because of the scarcity of coal, Professor Stafford believed, that if wood could be substituted so as to produce gas at the same cost it should be made to do. His experiments show that it can be done because of the cheapness of waste wood in the northwest.
According to the test made by Stufford, eight cubic feet of gas with a heating value of 480 British thermal units per cubic foot may be obtained from one cubic food of dry fir wood. The cost of generating the gas is very low after the apparatus has been installed, since waste wood is very cheap.
WAS AN HONOR MAN HERE
WAS AN HONOR MAN HERE
In view of the present scarcity of oil and coal Professor Stafford believes if wood could be substituted so as to produce gas even at the save figure it would be advisable to do so.
Mr. Stafford, who was graduated here in 1910, was recommended to the University of Oregon by Professors E. H. S. Bailey and H. P. Cady. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
K. U. Receives Gift From P. I.
Four volumes of the first census of the Philippine Islands have been sent to the chemistry department for the University Library, by W. G. Margathan, chief accountant for the Bureau of Education, Philippine Islands. The volumes are illustrated. Mr. Margathan was graduated from the University in 1916.
Architecture Course Will Show War Ruins
Slides illustrating the many ancient buildings in Italy, France, Belgium and Germany which have been destroyed in the present war will be the main feature of the new course in History of Architecture given by Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith this semester. Although the course is in the department of architectural engineering college credit will be given.
These views according to Professor Goldsmith, will make the student familiar with the buildings so frequently referred to in the news of the day, and will make clear how hopeless it is to expect their reconstruction showing the reason for the deep indignation of civilized nations aroused by the destruction by the Huns of some of the most wonderful of the world's architectural possessions.
Laws Will Share Library
This semester the sociology students will be given additional library room by being allowed to study in the Law Library. Prof. D. G. Paterson and Prof. W. M. Duffus have secured permission from Dean James Green to place one case of reference books there for the convenience of sociology students.

Captain Vantine starred for the Manhattan team in both games. Clark's free throwing was also a feature. George Hinds, who shot seven field goals on Wednesday, was held to one lone goal in the last game. Bunn, Miller and Matthews showed up much better in the second game.
The Jayhawkers slumped in the first game but came back strong in the second game and played the Aggies off their feet. It was a real battle from the opening whistle to the crack of the final gun, with the Jayhawkers leading by a few points most of the way. The game was one of the hardest fought ever played on Robinson court and Referee Quigley called twenty-eight fouls as compared with five in the first contest.
December was a record breaking month in the number of enrollments received in the University Extension system. There were also significant effects of the war on the University.
The slides and films furnished by the Extension Division are more than ever in demand. European pictures of Russia and Belgium have been in constant use since the opening of the school year. Orders for this service are placed by the various high schools in Arpil and May for the following year. Almost 75 per cent of the slides are maintained in regular circuits.
