High school debating societies, women's clubs, parent-teacher associations, and individuals, are constantly sending to the University extension division for assistance in the preparation of the college course.

The public speaking branch of the extension division has charge of this work, but has a dearth of material with which to furnish the information requested. Students are asked to save their old magazines for the department. Clippings are made of articles dealing with the material desired, and sent out in the form of package libraries.

BUT NINE LEGISLATORS ARE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
One Senator and Eight Representatives Were Graduated From Institution on Mount Oread
Insufficient appropriations for the support of the state University may be explained by the fact that so few of the members of the state legislature are graduates of the University. Only one state senator for 1915 is a K. U. alumnus, Walter E. Wilson, '93, of Washington county.
In the lower house the proportion of the University graduates is slightly larger. Out of the one hundred and twenty-five representatives eight have received degrees from K. U. They are: Thomas M. Van Cleave, '08, of Wyandotte county; Sherman Elliot, '01, of Douglas county; Arnott R. Lamb, '08, of Montgomery county; Cassius J. Johnson, '08, of Osage county; John M. Johnson, '95, of Brown county; Alva L. Wilmoth, '90, of Cloud county; Isaac N. Williams, '10, of Sedwick county; Walter A Layton, '09, of Osborne county.

INDIANIANS SANCTION
MAXIEX AND HALVES
No, genteel reader, these are not favorite brands of whiskey, for liquor is already sanctioned in Indiana. Neither are they Indian students fresh from the reservation. They are merely the names of new dances which it has been deemed advisable to allow the students to "trot."
Add to these the Hestitation, and you have the "Big Four" of the present season. Indians and Indianians may now participate in all the revelry if they come under any of these names.
To offset this unwanted dissipation, however, it has been decided that men may not smoke on the campus. Anybody who borrows a lighted cigar onto the campus.
Four Feat Houses Damaged

Of these, sixteen of the men were veterans of the American Civil War, held in old North College, the present exile of the Fine Arts students.
Mr. Cone says that in those days students went to school "for business," and were prepared when they went to class. If they were not, the instructor soon learned it. Most of the students were older than those of the present day, and were more earnest in their pursuit of an education.
Mr. Cone entered the Union army at the age of 16. He celebrated his 69th birthday Saturday, and is hale and hearty, without a grey hair on his head. Mr. Cone is always the pupil of and is often to be found around the Student Union, which is next-door to his home, enjoying a game of cribbage.

"The man who does not take a little time each day to sit side by side with the infinite, to stand face to face with his God, lacks power and preparedness to
"We are so busy, occupied with the objective side of life," he said, "that we lose sight of the subjective. We are so busy with the outside world. We lose sight of the subjective. We lose sight of the fact that there is such a thing as stipulative character."
BUGS GET COOL PLACE,
IN FACT, VERY COOLEST
The one cool place in the University will be in the Museum, or more explicitly in the temperature-recording refrigerator on the* second floor. Prof. S. J. Hunter state economist, has been an expert company, of Leavenworth, a device for ascertaining the effect of temperature on insect life.
An insect put in the refrigerator is taken out from time to time to learn when it dies, and stored on a revolving drum. The range of temperatures that the ammonia coils will give is from normal to 10 below. A machine in the basement manufactures the ammonia in a chamber in summer is easily obtained. Professor Hunter says the plant here is the only one he knows of like it.

Prof. Erasmus Haworth has been in Sabehia for 25 days, during which he supply systems. Sabehia appealed to the Chancellor for help and he in turn sent Professor Haworth there. Sabehia gets its water from wells alone, and on account of the several last dry summers, the supply in the town is in danger of having its water source cut off. Professor Haworth will go there again to help the city solve its difficulty.

Greenlees, et al, Get 41-36 Score on Dunmire's Men in Game Last Night
SCRUBS DEFEAT VARSITY IN PRACTICE CONTEST
Bully Greenlee, Bill Weidlein, and Dutry Urhiah ably assisted by two freshmen, Wilson and Frish, succeeded in accomplishing something last night which is the dream of many Missouri Valley coaches.
The three former Jayhawkers and their allies succeeded in landing the long end of a 41-36 score after an eight-minute stop with Captain Dunnire's men.
The game from the start was a thriller neither aggregation being able to get more than a two point lead. The scrubs being familiar with the Jayhawk plan of attack succeeded in breaking up many plays which worked without a flurry against Ames.
The score was so close that Coach Hamilton let his proteges play nearly twenty minutes overtime and Greenlee and company did the rest.
