UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CITY MAY HELP BUILD COASTER
Mayor Francisco Says Lawrence Will Cooperate to Get Toboggan Course
ESTIMATED COST IS $500.00
Plans Cement Slide South of Gym Where it Will be Free From Street Traffic
"The city authorities will co-operate in every way with the University in regard to building a toboggan course," said Mayor Francisco, "if it will in any way lessen the danger from coasting."
"The ordinance permits coasting on Indiana street providing there are guards at each crossing, but even with the guards it is a dangerous sport, we would rather not have coasting on the streets at all," said the mayor.
"We are not sure how much money we can give towards the slide, said W. W. Holyfield, city commissioner, "but if those in charge of the slide will draw up their plans for the slide and submit the cost we will decide at the next meeting how much we can give."
Last year there was some talk in regard to the tobogan slide. John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings at the University of Florida, manager of athletics, took up the proposition and even went so far as to look over the grounds in order to find a suitable place to build the slide, and found an account on account of a shortage of funds.
If a coaster is built it probably will be near the Gymnasium, extending past the tennis courts south of the stadium. It will also coast into rigs and autos and will not mar the looks of the campus. The slide probably will be permanent and will be made of cement. It is estimated to cost anywhere near five hundred dollars.
Chancellor Frank Strong says: "I am sure the Board of Administration would be glad to furnish money for the slide if they had funds available, but as we have not enough funds to repair the buildings of the University, I will do anything in regard to financial aid for the slide this year."
John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, believes the best way to get the thing started is for some one to take hold of the proposition and take up subscriptions from the students.
CAN FIND NO CURE FOR NEW-FANGLED DISEASE Case of Pray, Brothers, Pray
"I have now been inoculated, vaccinated, and rendered immune from all the pests of life," remarked a freshman this morning to one of the nurses at the hospital as she was wrapping up his sore arm. "But say, nurse, in this day of prevention, is it possible to inject anything into a fellow to prevent him from flunking the examinations this week?"
The nurse laughed and answered "By the process of study it is oftentimes possible to inject such knowledge into one's head so that he will be immune from all flunking. But it generally takes four hours for insinculation to take." Very seldom have I seen it work in one night."
The "poor butterfly" dropped his head as if he had been shot. The fact is that he was shot by the stunning remark. But he is not alone. The very thought of flunking is causing a great many students to sing the "Home舍妹 Blues," and "A Little Bug Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out" is another melody which now is haunting many students.
The big fireworks began yesterday. Every student will be given the opportunity to prove to his professors and instructors that for the past four and a half months he has not been working "in the dark."
OUTLINES ARE IN DEMAND
Correspondence Study System Helps Outside Students
"May I have another set of those outlines for English History from the Kansas University? I have used all of the other set, and have found them so helpful that I should like to have some more, if possible."
The above letter was written by Miss Lena Maxey, instructor in history in the high school at Beggs, Okla., to the superintendent of the same school who is taking a correspondence study course in English history and Spanish through the Correspondence Study Department of Extension Division, University of Kansas for credit at the University of Kansas. The history outlines referred to are C. C. Crawford's, professor of European history, who conducts the correspondence work in English history. "This," said Professor Crawford, "illustrates my idea of what the department of corres-
pendence is for. It is primarily to help teachers and outside students to so better work, rather than to help them with our own institution make up a "flunk."
BY THE WAY—
Vanity vs. Comfort
Gamma Phi Beta Fathers' Day
Ribbon hats, brightly colored suits, and other spring vanities that rushed in with enrollment day have been relegated to the closet shelf to give place to discarded tams, sweaters, and heavy coats. Now there is a reason for this other than that of personal comfort. How would a beet-red nose and ear lobes harmonize with a gold, burgundy, or peacock blue hat?
February 17 is "Fathers' Day" for the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Dinner for the members' fathers at the chapel afternoon is the program for the day.

OWLS PLAN TWO MORE EDITIONS
Discussions of plans for the next Sour Owl and the appointment of a committee for conference with the University public bureau in issuing a book of information about K. U. were the things which junior college Owls can, junior honor society for men, at the Kappa Sigma house last night.
Junior Society Investigate Possibility of Publishing Information About K. U.
Following the publication of the Sour Owl in magazine form last November, the periodical has been placed under the supervision of a board of five members of the society who will edit and publish the remaining two issues of the year. The next number will appear on March 16, and the last, on May 4. The following men are members of the Board of Managers David, Dick Tweeke, Walter Havekort, Warren Wrenles, and Harry Morgan. They invite contributions from any student in the University.
Dorman O'Leary, Horace Chandler, and Harry Morgan were appointed on a committee to investigate the possibilities of publishing a book of information about the University. The book is issue 748 of the distributed with school students who come here for basketball tournaments, debates and track meets.
A resolution was also adopted recommending that all juniors place their pictures in the Junior Section of the 1917 Jayhawk.
