SHEA PLANS CONCRETE COURSE FOR COASTERS
A concrete coasting course so fixed that it could be flooded when necessary is the proposition that Supt. J. M. Shea will present at the next meeting of the Board of Administration here.
Superintendent Will Propose Sliding Place to Board of Administration
He says that the course could be built south of the campus beginning some *mere* near the Gymnasium and extending down the slope to the bottom of the campus. He said cold weather is all that is necessary to have good coating.
Appoint New Graduate
Newbridge, Lawrence,
and of the class of 1913, who is doing graduate work in entomology, has been appointed Graduate Editor of the 1915 Jayhawker in place of Miss Emily Berger who could not take the position because of other work. All graduate students should have a spring should communicate with Mr. Brown relative to their pictures and space for the Annual.
This would afford a longer and better place than the one suggested north of the Administration building.
A bulletin on child welfare has been compiled by Prof. W. A. McKeever, who has charge of that work, and it will be placed in the hands of the State Printer within the next few days. As soon as it is returned copies will be sent to every civic organization and school in the state.

the first of the new series of all-Uni-

Henderson, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and the March meeting by John R. Mott, or some prominent man in Lawrence Mott campaign then in progress.
These three convocations already planned will be in the nature of an experiment, and unless an attendance of 1,000 students can be obtained, the plan' will probably be given up.
RAYMOND ROBBINS IS COMING
Cincinnati Social Worker to be here During Mott Meetings
The Mott campaign will open on March 2 and continue through March 8, instead of beginning on March 5, as has been announced. The change in date is caused by the information just received that Raymond Robbins, the Chicago religious and charitable men, will come to Lawrence on March 2 to stay through the entire campaign. John R. Mott will arrive on March 5.
The following religious workers have notified the local committee of their intention to be present and assist in the campaign: Ted Mercer of New York City, A. J. Elliott, H. L. Heinzman, and John L. Childs, international coordinator of the YMCA. M. A. G. Lord of Kansas City, John E. Manley, state Y. M. C. A. secretary, L. K. Hall, state high school secretary, F. L. Pierce, state county secretary, H. H. Griffon, state college secretary, W. W. McLane, secretary of the YMCA at Manhattan, the Morgan of Manhattan and A. A. Hyde of Wichita. Arthur Capper has assured the University Y. M. of his attendance if the session of the legislature is over at that time.

SAYS FACULTY MISCONCEIVEL
Prof. W. M. Sterling Explains Powers and Limitations of Senate
Prof. M. W. Sterling of the department of Greek finds the newspapers too ready to put the blame of any unfavorable event in school on the wrong party. "That article in the Oread that reproaches the faculty for not improving the walk behind the Library is typical of the common concept of the faculty." Proof of Sterling, "The Kansas City Star also printed articles that would show the faculty as opposed to athletics.
"The faculty as a faculty does nothing in the way of general administration. The papers should learn the faculty is not concerned with the things involved in the way of any meeting of the faculty for the last twenty years would disclose no reference to funds, money for improvements, roads, walks or anything to do with improvements on the buildings and grounds, for as it is not our business, we are only individually that we can express our wants to the highest authority in the University, if we would suggest any improvement, and then it might and might not be acted upon. We only exercise moral influence individually, coming to our own personal privilege.
"The University Senate, made up of full professors and Deans, has the power to give any material aid in student matters, while the faculty at large has not. This definite aim at the faculty is not fair; we couldn't order a walk put behind the Library and expect to have it done."
Prof. E, H. S. Bailey, of the Food Chemistry Laboratories, has received from the American Hominy Company of Minneapolis, a collection of corn, course and fine grits, corn meal, corn oil made with ginger, corn oil made with gern cake corn hulls and corn oil. The collection will be added to the Drugs Museum.

MENINGITIS MAYCLAIM VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
Physicians See Evidences and Fear Brain Concussion for McIntyre
The physical condition of Emery J. McIntyre, who was seriously injured in a coasting accident on Indiana street last Thursday, is much improved today. The physician at the Jones Hospital noted that one best test, physically, he has been at any time since he was injured.
However, according to the physician in attendance the patient's mental condition is much worse than yesterday and probably the worst it has been since Friday. There is gradually coming on the condition the doctors feared from the start; namely, that the concussion of the brain might come in for serious consideration. The evidence of meningitis is more pronounced today than heretofore.

MUSEUM NEEDS SPECIMENS
Animals That People Throw Away
Museum Can Always Use
Every day hundreds of specimens valuable to science are being thrown away by sportsmen, trappers and farmers because they do not know what to do with them. Sportsmen shoot rabbits and kill them, have no use for them, throw them away. Trappers also get animals in their traps which are of no value as furs and have no value commercially. These too are usually thrown away. Farmers store animals and if they think of the state museum at all they believe that it has plenty more like whatever they have.
Any bird, bat, animal, snake or reptile is always acceptable to the Museum according to C. D. Bunker, Assistant Curator, and it will always be of some use. He says "if you can't bring or send it to the Museum why leave it with your name and address and where it was killed at some place by K U. It be called for." The sender will receive proper credit on the label for collecting the specimen.
At the present time the Museum authorities are particularly desirous of obtaining a few specimens of weasels.
SCHOOL WILL TEST CORN
OIL FOR CULINARY USE
A pint of corn oil that the School of Pharmacy sent some time ago to the Proctor & Gamble Soap Company has been returned to the department here after being hydrogenated. In its olly state the product resembles a heavy brown oil and in the hydrocarbon mixture it forms beeswax. In odor and form it resembles cocoa butter, and melts near the melting point of beeswax.
"The better quality of the oil makes a very good salad dressing," said Dean L. E. Sayre, "and we will now test it for its highest culinary uses; frying quinoa and other substitutes." Dr. Sayre uses corn oil in his home and finds it has a very appetizing odor and flavor.

UNION OPERATED AT LOSS OF $25 A WEEK
Institution Has Income of
$20.00 and Expense
of $45.00
The Student Union has at present an income of $20 per week and an expense of $45, according to an estimate made by the Student Council at its meeting last night. This means that prior to this event in operation it operated a weekly loss of $25, and that $990 must be raised for the Union before the end of the year.
Just now, however, all that must be raised is $200. This must be given the creditors of the Union within two weeks to raise $200 for the students of each school of the University to the Council representatives from that school to be personally solicited during the next few days. This would hopes to raise the money in this way.
The Union now has 227 members, seventy-five have paid dues in full, fifty-four half, and $250 in pledges is outstanding. If these members who have promised to pay and will pay within the time limit are done so, the list of the pledges paid will be published in the Daily Kansas from day to day.
The future estimate of the weekly expenses of the Union are as fol-
Manager $12.50
Rent 15.00
Gas, etc. 9.50
Laundry .50
Incidentals 1.00
Papers, etc. 2.00
$45.00
Estimated Total
Thus the Union will cost $990 for operation the rest of the year. Of this amount $440 is furnished by income. But the Union owes $440. This makes $990 to be raised before the end of the year. Of this amount $200 must be raised in the next two weeks.
