PAYING ELECTION BETS NO CINCH
Students Wear Saddened Expressions as Result of Democratic Victory
WILSON MEN ARE HAPPY
The Harmless Flirtations With Chance Furnish Amusement for Many
As a result of the election, many students on the Hill have a saddened and chastened expression which seems more eloquently than words to say, "What a fool I was!" They bet on Hughes. As many others wear a smug, complacent countenance that exaggerates satisfaction an expression that can easily be interpreted, "I told you so!" They backed Wilson.
Though as yet no one has been seen trunling another up the Adams street hill in a wheelbarrow or parading Massachusetts街 at midnight with no more protection than a summer suit of pajamas, some other more or less interesting results have been noted.
"WHY SO SAD?"
"Why do you look so glum, Jones?" said one young man to another as the two entered the Administration Building Friday afternoon. "You look as though you had lost your last friend, or your best girl had jilted you."
"It's worse than that, old man. If you were in my predicament, you would look glum, too. You see, I bet my dinner tonight that Hughes would Doggeone, but I sure am hungry!" And Jones drowned on into class.
"Bill is sick of himself today," said a man who was carrying a cane in front of Green Hall. "You see, Bill had five on Wilson, and I was upholding the other side of the argument. Wednesday afternoon and drew the Canes. Now Bill is sore at himself that he didn't stick it out to the bitter end."
Some ten or fifteen students were improving their physical condition and at the same time replenishing the water on the Kaw River bridge Saturday.
"Say, this is a graft," said one student who was aiding the construction company by helping to unload a car
of cement. "All you have to do is to lug these hundred-pound sacks of ground rocks around, and the company pays you two dollars and fifty cents for it. If I am not dead by the end of fifty, that will run me till I get my check from Dad. Gee! politics is as bad as Sherman said war is."
LIFE'S GREATER THAN HEREDITY
Man Not Doomed to Fate of Environment, Doctor Coulter Says
That we are not doomed to the possibilities of our parents but are capable of developing any of an infinite number of possibilities inherited from remote antecedents according to the environment in which we are placed, was the main thesis of the lecture, and that it was Dr. J. M. Coulter of the University of Chicago in Fraser Chapel yesterday afternoon.
The "sunflower seed can produce only a sunflower, but it can produce different kinds of sunflowers varying with conditions and environment. We inherit a multitude of possibilities, and the selection of these will depend, not upon the ones which our parents planted or those that are part of our environment. Thus, it is most important to give the individual stimulating opportunities."
"We have only the possibilities that we have received," said Doctor Coulter, "but every one has more possibilities than he uses. The possibilities are those which are the responses to what happens in which the individual is placed.
Doctor Coulter told also of some of the experiments in plant genetics recently carried on at Chicago. In this field the students of heredity are trying to learn the most fundamental of its principles, principles which apply to biology as well as botany, and will be of the utmost value to science. It is largely through these botanical experiments that the modern ideas in regard to heredity have been developed.

METEOR SHOWER IS DUE TONIGHT
Unusual Spectacle Will Appear Shortly After Midnight
A shower of meteors will occur on Wednesday night, November 15, according to word given out this morning by the department of astronomy. The number of meteors which will be seen from any one point on the earth's surface can not be determined in advance. It may be hundred or more during the night according to Prof. E. B. Stouffer of the department of astronomy.
"The meteors appear to radiate from a single point in the sky," said Professor Stoffer. "This point is in the constellation Leo, the sickle, and it appears to be as bright as the Leonides. As Leo does not rise in the east until about midnight, the shower will be visible only after that time. The greatest showers of mea- ture occur in spring and in those years they looked as if they were coming out of a fountain.
"Ten to twenty million meteors strike into the earth's atmosphere daily," continued Professor Stouffer. "They move at the rate of 10 to 40 miles per second. The meteorite showers are thrown into the scattered remains of a comet, The Leonides are remains of Tempel's comet."
Meteors are falling continually into the earth's atmosphere, but not in such numbers as at the time of a meteoric shower. One which fell at Long Island, Kas., weighed 700 pounds. They generally光亮 brilliantly from the heat of friction, roar like a waterfall and end by fallning on the earth.
"GOOD MANNERS MAKE
THE WOMAN" -MISS HOOPES
"Good Manners" was the subject discussed by Miss Helen R. Hoopes, instructor in English, at the meeting on Saturday in in Myers Hall yesterday afternoon.
"It is the instinctive courtesies that spring from the inside, not the external veneer of fine manner that conceived really good manners," said Miss Hirshall the lovely manners, or manners over the telephone, were also emphasized.
SCIENCE AND TATTING SUCCESSFULLY MIXED Girl Makes Lace at Lecture.
BEAT NEBRASKA!
Evidently one girl was wonderfully impressed by that part of Dr. Coulier's first lecture in which he advocated making science utilitarian. At any rate, she seemed to be successful during Doctor Coulier's second lecture.
The girl came in, sedately seated herself, removed her coat, and then, when the lecturer began his intricate discussion, unceremoniously extracted from her coat pocket a piece of filmsy network and one of those submarine-shaped instruments that some women use in what is called "tatting." Greatly to the amusement and somewhat to the delight of the industrious girl worked unceasingly on that tatting throughout the entire lecture.
Listening to the lecture, tatting rapidly on the lace, and working her jaws at intervals with great gusto on a flameless cord. The patient reasonably well occupied for the hour;
