The political bee is again humming over the campus. Petitions have been started on the rounds by students who hope to gain positions on the Men's Student Council, or the offices of the different schools.

The election is to be held on May 3, one week from the time the petitions are turned in. A number of "rumored" candidates have been mentioned, but no one has formally announced his candidacy for any of the positions to be filled, and no petitions have vet been submitted.
At the election on May third, in addition to the president of the student council, there will be elected a vicepresident, secretary-treasurer, seven members from the college, four from the School of Engineering, two from the School of Law, and one each from the College of Pharmacy, and the Graduate School. Also, five student members of the athletic board will be chosen.
The rules of the council provide that each candidate for a student council position must pay a fee of seventy-five cents, and present a petition signed by seventy-five qualified voters.
W. H. Wilson and L. M. Anderson have been appointed a committee to make arrangements for the election W. A. McKinney, M. L. Gear, Ray Heath, L. G. Sparks, and T. O. Terrant are on the eligibility board.

AT OTHER SCHOOLS
Athletics Scored
"Intercollegiate athletics, because they have advertising value, have been allowed to receive disproportionate emphasis as an element of college and university life, in some respects to the detriment of sport that entails the participation of larger numbers of students with teachers, than that of the hired coach, as well as to the detriment of intellectual competitions that appeal more to reason but less to instinct."—Prof. E. C. Hayes, Illinois.
Clock-Watching Women
From a speech by Gertrude Oliver at the University of Washington it seems that the man is not the only one who watches the clock while he works, but that the woman was also invaded that field of endeavor. Says she is not interested. She does not hear the clock strike six. If her work is not finished, she has an everlasting tenacity to stick at her job. She is both honest and sincere, and she possesses a superabundance of accommodation. Honesty and sincerity offer factors to success. This applies to men as well as to women."—Ex.
How Do You Stand?
That the "college slouch" is fac and not fiction, at least at Harvard university, is the conclusive result of the examination of the 746 men of the freshman class of that college. The other 256 are adducted with some form of slouch or other, according to the investigation; three-fifths have no knowledge of how to use their bodies properly or how to stand up straight; and nearly two of every ten have feet held in a horizontal position, impairing their country in time of war. The judging was done on the basis that the weight should be on the balls of the feet, abdomen in, chest up, and chin in, and the men were put into four classes accordingly. Of those four classes, only one first class, ninety in the second class 413 in the third class, and 193 in the fourth class—Daily Cardinal.
Fraternities will receive financial assistance from the college when they desire to build houses on or near the Knox Campus in conformity with the Knox building plan which is now being prepared by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees at their meeting on Monday morning—Knox Student.
Evidently other universities also have their troubles with buildings. Recently 175 square feet of plaster fell from the ceiling of the main hall of the University of Wisconsin. One student was struck by passing at the time was injured in the arm, but otherwise no damage was done—Ex.
VARSITY MAKES READY FOR THE CORNHUSKERS
Victories Over Freshmen and Heavy Slugging Promise a Winning Team
The Jayhawk baseball nine is putting on the finishing touches in preparation for the Nebraska games Wednesday and Thursday, and Captain Smee has confidence that Kansas will win from the Cornhuskers.
The Jayhawker players have been beating Potts's freshmen in the last four or five practice games with one team, two or three, and a couple of Jayhawker victories when they meet with the Cornhuskers on McCook Field. All of the players are in good condition and should be going their best by the middle of the week.
Captain Snee is slugging the ball in his old-time way and has been leading the squad in batting percentages the last week or so. In the practice of the game, under sunday afternoon he made three hits out of four times up. Walter Smith, who caught Poirier for three innings, smashed out two hits, one of which, a three bagger, was only stopped by a serve on the east side of McCook Field.
Connie Poirier, who pitched in the games with the Kansas Normals and St. Marys, is getting more control than his team has fanned five of the heavy freshman batters in the first two innings. Several of the freshman players said Connie has more "stuff on the ball" than the defense worked out against them this season.
The nine has been changed considerably since the first game of the season with the Normals. The lineup which now seems to be the pick of the coach is: Carter, c; Poirier, Craig or Captain Smee, p; Chase, B; Ib; Lundberg, no; Boonefield, p; Press, as Captain Smee, f; Gibbens, cf; Weber, wf.
These players work well together and should develop into the most aggressive slugging nine in the Missouri team. They also played through the Tigers have won all their games so far this season and have shown wonderful, aggressive ball, he believed the Jayhawkers would endear him little trouble in defeating them.
War Relief Fund
