K. U. FIVE TO TANGLE WITH AGGIES TONIGHT
Squad of Seven Went to Man hattan Today for Two Games
Coach Hamilton and seven basketball men left. Lawrence just before noon today for Manhattan where he is the first of a series of two rams tonight.
The Jayhawkers have the Agries outweighed and outclassed and Coach Hamilton does not except to have any trouble in winning both games. The fact that Cole and Kaiser could not take the trip because of quizzes will not weaken the Jayhawk strength in Coach Hamilton's opinion.
The following men will bear the brunt of the burden in tonight's contest: Sproull, Sorensen, Weaver, Folks, Appel, Wood, Oaklin. Appel will stay on the sidelines to be used in case of emergency at
The team will return to Lawrence Saturday morning.
TO OFFER MISSION COURSES
Christian Associations Outline Study of Bible for Semester
Courses in mission study are being outlined by the mission committees of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A.

Y. W. C. A. DISCUSSES
K. U. HONOR SENTIMENT
Miss Emily Swick led the W. Y. C. A.'s open discussion meeting Tuesday, at which the topic *Women in Special attention was given to the matter of honor sentiment in the approaching quizzes and*, instead of sermonizing the absent faculty, the girls very much question from the students standpoint.
Miss Swick read the report of last year's committee recommending the promulgation of honor sentiment, rather than the adoption of an honor system. Florence Cook closed the meeting with a violin solo.

McCLUGGAGE READS PAPER
BEFORE BAR ASSOCIATION
Robert T. McCluggage, a senior Law, read a paper before the Kansas State Bar Association at a meeting in Topeka yesterday; work was on "Recent Developments in the Law of Unfair Competition."
Says Sport Part of School
"Competitive sports are a part of every civilized society," said Prof. C. L. Brewer, in a speech at the Y. M. C. A. recently. "Christianity, citizenship, and competitive sports go hand in band the world over. It is indeed hard to find one of these that the other two do not follow."
The Eligibility Committee will meet Friday, instead of Monday as heretofore.
BANDAGERS MAY BECOME NURSES, SAYS DR. GOETZ
"Our quiz in bandaging is coming along very well," says Dr. Alice L. Goetz, head of the women's physical training department. "We may even develop some nurses or doctors like it so much better than I had expected they would. Some of the bandages are queer, though. Occasionally have to ask the girls what they are doing, 'Bandaging,' they say, what is supposed to be for them, 'I am badaud. I don't know, it is just a bandage.'"
Next semester the advanced class in physical training will take archeery and hockey. Just at present the class is practicing fencing, and is developing some quite successful duels.
DEFIES ALL COMERS,
WHATEVER WEIGHT
Size No Scare to These
Big scales, little scales and medium sized scales, scales that will weigh anything from a fleck of dust to a load of hay may be found in the department of weights and measures in the basement of Fraser Hall.
One delicate little balance will weigh the four hundredth part of a grain. This is a finely constructed scale, with sharp knife edges of chisel agate. It is mounted on a base of black onyx. This scale is exactly similar to the scale used in the Bureau of Standards at Washington for weighing al-NSW.
Another beautiful instrument is a slightly larger one built by Paul Zumer, of Hamburg, long known as the world's master in constructing balances. It is a magnificently constructed instrument and shows the loving care of a master workman. This scale can detect an error of one hundredth of a gram in weights up to fifty pounds.
Another interesting scale is a larger brass one mounted on a somewhat ponderous stamped with the American eagle. Such scales as these were presented to every state in 1883. The scale is somewhat out of date but it kept for its historic value.
DEPARTMENT OF BILOGY
OFFERS- BILOGY COURSE
A new course, known as Animal Biology, will be offered to the students next semester. This is the first class of its kind to be placed in the University schedule. Prof. Bennett M. Allen will have charge of it. The subject will cover the general principles of biology as shown among animals. Such things as the diet and the peaks of the life history of the book work and of the whale, and the different animals used for food, will be discussed. The exhibits of the Museum will furnish subjects for the lectures.
The course is numbered 60 and is open only to juniors and seniors who have not taken zoology I and zoology 70.
STEAM ROLLER POLITICS

ATHLETES HONEST ON FIELD

That athletics develops honesty, is the belief of Miss Gertrude Moulton of the University of Illinois, because a properly trained athlete will not
From a psychological point of view a habit once formed is hard to break. A habit for honesty formed on the basis of repeated actions will enter into the class room, and on through the athlete's life. Often times an athlete who has been found to cheat in his school career, has been refused work by some firms because they believe such men have not been properly trained to do the honest thing.
The candidates were asked to stand up and let their classmates look at them, and then the voting followed.
Gym credits for tennis playing is a new feature of the athletic department at Leland Stanford University. Each match counts for a make-up in gym cuts. The instructors feel that the sport should be encouraged and that this method is the surest way to make it popular.
Mechanical and Electrical Societies Will Hold Own Day in About a Month
ALREADY PREPARING FOR ENGINEERING MEETINGS
Preparations are already being made for the annual meeting of the student branches of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. These annual meetings are not to be attended by Engineers, which is held every year, and largely given over to the notorious Engineers' parade and to athletic contests.
"We intend to make these annual meetings a valuable day for the engineering student," said Dean P. F. Walker this week. "The regular program upon which prominent engineers from all over the country will occupy a part will make up the morning and afternoon sessions." Prof. Walter Reinhardt,ruchtrust, of Columbia University, had been obtained as one of the principal speakers for the meeting of the A. S. M. E.
The evening session will be given over to a banquet for students and alumni members of the society.
A definite date has not been set as
the date of the first meeting of
February, or the first of March.

Many circulars have been sent out to superintendents of schools in various cities and Prof. W. A. McKeever, who is in charge of the work has received many return cards stating that students expect to attend the Institute.
Three classes of persons will attend the Institute. They are: play and recreation leaders, members of boards of education and members of parent-teacher associations and mothers' clubs.
The program at the present time consists of a course of six lectures on "Play and Recreation" by Dr. Henry S.

A large bulletin has been compiled by Professor McKeever and has been sent to the state printer. When it is returned it will be sent to heads of the welfare clubs of the state and to presidents of boards of education. The bulletin contains complete information regarding the Institute.
The senior engineers of the University of Texas have decided to dress in a characteristic costume of blue shirts and khaki trousers. Tuesdays and Fridays have been chosen as the days to wear the garb.
Not to be out done, the women of the class have decided to distinguish themselves from their sister seniors by wearing blue shirt waists and chaki skirts.

CAST OF DRAMATIC CLUB
PLAY GIVEN OUT TOMORROW
Players for Staging of "The Man From Home" to be Selected Finally Today
will be announced tomorrow.
So says Prof. Arthur MacMurray, curate of the Royal College of Physicians, he, if anybody, ought to know. For the past two weeks ten people have been appearing daily before the Dramatic Club executive committee in an effort to secure places in the cast, and the results are at last determined. In question there are five members in the only thing we can be considered.
"The cast of 'The Man From Home' will be announced tomorrow."
WOULD REMIT TUITION TO PROF. DYCHE'S CHILDREN
"The first play given by the new Dramatic Club is going to go down in K. U. history," predicts Professor Mac Murray. "Our cast is all that could be desired; the people fit the parts as if they were created for them. By careful preparation, ample rehearsal, and capable stage management we are going to present a crackerjack play." The production will be given at the Bowersock during the latter part of March.
Senator Shouse Introduces Bill Into Legislature to Have University Return Fees
A bill authorizing the University of Kansas to remit all tuition, matriculation, and other fees to the children of the late Prof. L. D. Lyche was introduced into the legislature yesterday afternoon by Senator Jouett Shouse, chairman of the ways and means committee.
Lewis L. Dyche, sophomore College and Ruth O. Dyche, junior College, are the only children of Professor Dyche who are in school now.
VEGETARIANS SAY THAT MEAT-EATERS ARE FIENDS
Vegetarians have proved conclusively, to their own satisfaction, that meat-eaters, like drug fiends, have less endurance and are less effective. The authors have not established whether silentless trainers of athletes and athletic teams have never paid much attention to this argument. The above is the context of an article in the January Agriculturist by H, H. Lark on "The Dietetic Value of Meat."
Mr. Mitchell continues by showing that from twenty-five to thirty per cent of the average American's food bill is spent for meat. Americans have avoided a one-sided diet, such as the rice-eating people of the Orient, the potato eating people of Ireland and the corn-eating people of India. As a result we are better nourished as compared with other races.
The author shows the statement that meat-eaters are more susceptible to colds and rheumatism to be pure fiction, while the relation between diet and disease is stilloborese. The American seems to thrive on a mixed diet, containing a variety of animal and vegetable products in which neither meat or vegetables predominate to any great extent.
COMMITTEE ON HIGH SCHOOL
RELATIONS MEET AT K. U.
The committee on high school relations convened this morning in Prof. W. H. Johnson's office, and will be at work for at least two days classifying the high schools in the state. Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, W. H. Andrews, of the Kansas State Agricultural College, W. H. Carruthers of Emporia, W. H. O'Neill of the Hays Normal School, W. E. Ringle of the Pittsburgh Manual Training School and W. G. Binnewies of Fairmount College, compose the committee. It is probable that a representative from the state Board of Education will attend the conference meeting.
Since the first of August the employment bureau of the University of Minnesota has found that more people have handled more had there been more requests.

The bureau is attempting to centralize information in regard to student musicians and student orchestras desiring employment and is building up a student stenographic service.
Northwestern University adopted the Honor System last week by the vote of 535 to 150. The decision was got through a referendum vote. The student body, which is the faculty, highly ratified the decision of the student body. The faculty permission, however, only applies to the examinations.
SHOULD SMILE THAT WE
BECOME MORE EFFICIENT
"We ought to be as cheerful as we can in order to be as efficient as possible and do as much good as we can to our fellow men," said Dr. James Naismith this morning at morning prayers. Doctor Naismith told of the magic of the armor, the exalted heart. He spoke of the cheerfulness of the men in the trenches in Europe and asked: "How much more cheerful ought we to be?"
"I cannot conceive of Christ as a man of sadness. Children loved Him, and children will not flock to a man who does not smile. Children can make this world better by being cheerful, then it is up to us to cultivate cheerfulness."
NO SMOKING RULE
UNIVERSALLY BROKEN
All Puff When It's 9 Below
"No smoking on the campus."
In apparent violation of this University rule, all K. U. puffed and blew as it hurried about between classes this morning, emitting, huge billowy plumes of smoke. Apparently everybody was smoking—professors, as well as students.
Low necks were decidedly out of fashion this morning, and heavy overcoats were substituted for fimsxy air balmacaus, and football players were their whole stock of sweaters accumulated through seasons of faithful work on the Varsity. Red noses, crimson-tinted ears, and icy fingers were a campus affliction—and the thermometer on the campus registered nine below this morning.
HIGH SCHOOLS MEET HERE NEXT MARCH
Basketball Teams From All Over State to Hold Tournament in Gym
March 26 and 27 have been the dates named for the holding of the annual interscholastic basketball tournament in Robinson Gymnastium. The tournament will begin a year later to determine the winner of the state high school championship.
Judging from the increasing number of entries made each year Manager W. O. Hamilton would not be surprised to see the number of competing teams this year well over the fifty mark. Forty-eight boys' and girls' teams arrived, their backpacks, the high school was the winner of the masculine championship of the state while Arkansas City won the girls' trophy.
As a state meeting of all the principalals and superintendents of the Kansas high schools will be held in Lawrence at the same time the University will visit for at least five hundred high school students and teachers.
This faculty committee of five men, have charge of the tournament: W. O. Hamilton, George O. Foster, and Professors S. Browne and J. N. Van der Vries. The committee is already busy working on the details of the tournament.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS USE ACCOUNT BOOKS
In the past seventeen weeks of school, an average of two officers of student organizations have called at the office of Registrar George Cooper to meet that students account board that the Board of Administration provides.
If the same demand is continued during the remaining weeks of the school year, Secretary James Lardner will find one book awaiting the use of a student organization when he comes to the University about April 29, to audit the books of the students.
Must File Major Blanks
Juniors and seniors in the College must have cards designating their major work made out in time for attaching their resume to the job they will not be enrolled according to information given out at the dean's office this morning.

CHANCE TO GET ARMY GUNS Government Will Furnish Rifles on Recommendation of Governor
Any club of students interested in shooting may now obtain genuine army riffles for practice from the U. S. Government upon the recommendation of a member. All that is necessary to get the guns is to form a club, get the endorsement of the governor, and they will be sent by Uncle Sam. It is not permitted but the members of the club join the K. N. G. or their literary organization.
At present there are two target shooting organizations on the Hill, the Kansas National Guard and the K. U. Rifle Club, both of which practice shooting on the range and in the basement of the gymnasium. Membership in these organizations is open to any student.
The guns to be supplied are the 1908 model Krag, a six-shot magazine gun, .30 caliber, which is no longer used by the regular army, but it is very much like the guns now in use. The army has a large number of these obsolete weapons called believe they is wise to distribute them over the country to help disseminate knowledge of army guns among the people.
