COUNCIL IS AROUSED OVER UNION AFFAIRS
Will Try to Collect Enough Money to Keep Men's House Open
The Student Council is now thoroughly aroused over the appalling situation of the Student Union financial affairs and is making an effort this week to get enough pledges paid to the Union to insure its opening after Christmas. The Union is now $994.74 in debt, but two months ago, after payment of debts, will allow the house to reopen after the holidays. The Council will try to get this much money this week.
Following is a list as complete as was possible to obtain today. The names of the other payees will be published from day to day providing the Council collectors can be located, said in full.

GRADUATE OF K. U. HEADS CHURCH IN FATHER'S PLACE
Frederick Smith, Succeeds Joseph Smith, as Head of Church of Latter Day Saints
Frederick J. Smith, a graduate of the University School of Law and College, was sustained yesterday as the temporary head of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints, and will assume the work of his father, Joseph Smith, who died last week.
This action was taken at a meeting of the twelve apostles, the highest ruling body in the church, following the wish of the elder Smith.
MAN IS KNOWN BY WORDS HE UTTERS
"Thy Speech Betrayeth Thee," was the topic of the talk given by Mrs. Lucy B. Johnston at morning prayers in Fraser chapel this morning. This is the second of a series of seremonies on the general subject "Life" to be given at chapel this week.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 15. 1914
"Give careful thought to the choice of your vocabulary," concluded Mrs. Johnston. "There is nothing which you can say more than the texture of your speech.
Mrs. Johnston is at home to all students in Dean Tempelin's office in Fraser, during her stay at the University.
Mrs. Johnston urges the careful selection of companions, books and especially of words. The habits of speech are persistent and they are a sure indication of the character of the individual, she says.
"Them and Now," will be the topic of the talk tomorrow morning.
STUDENTS DRINK 300
GALLONS WATER DAILY
Students in the University drink 300 gallons of distilled water daily. The University keeps a supply in all the principal buildings on the campus, and those students who do not forget to carry their individual drinking cups take advantage of the fact.
Botanists Experiment
"The supply will be maintained just as long as the water company continues to supply us with this half solid stuff," said Superintendent J. M. Shea this morning. The water costs the University three cents per gallon in addition to the extra work for the employees.
Prof. C. A. Shull of the department of botany began a new experiment Monday to measure the surface force with which soils hold water. A motor, a speed reducer, and a rotator have been installed for the experiment. The measurements are being made in soils containing very small amounts of water below the wilting coefficient where no accurate measurements are at present available. This problem is of particular interest to dry farming regions. The cocklebur seek is being used in the experiment.

INTER-CLASS BOOTERS IN FINAL TOMORROW
Freshmen and Juniors to Scramble on McCook for Class Championship
Tomorrow afternoon's battle between the freshmen and juniors for the inter-class football championship will start promptly, at 3:30 o'clock.
Manager W. O. Hamilton said this morning that not only would the playing field itself be cleared of snow but that several sections of the bleachers will be put in shape for the spectators.
With the ground clear of snow the roots can expect a good game since both teams are doped about equal. The freshmen defeated the sophomores in Saturday's elimination game, 6-0, while the juniors handed a similar defeat to Detwiler's senior eleven.
McCarty will referee the game. Jay Bond will ampire and Bill Weidlein will act as head linesman. The players of the winning team will be given numeral sweaters and a big feed.
OREAD MAGAZINE APPEARID
Had a Bright Yellow Cover Than Lauds the Chancellor
The first issue of the Orend Magazine with E. J. McIntyre as circulation manager, appeared this morning in bright yellow covers designed perhaps to hint at the character of the contents. Its purpose, as announced on the first page, is to set forth real K. U. opinion. Leading up to such work with k. w. topics as the Advisor of Women, Professor Thorpe's conquest of the city stakes, the Student Union, the public Mind column, faculty, freshmen, and frats concluding with a little dig at K. U.'s taste in music.
W. W. Swingle, who tells a story of how anecdotes caused a war, and how Perguson, (otherwise Pugr) contribute to real, honest-to-granda allegory.
Jokes and verse are scattered through the pages with a generous hand, and most of the illustrations are Hank Maloy's own.
DYKSTRA WILL TEACH AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

X-RAY TUBES LOOK AT HEARTS OF ATHLETES
Owing to the nearness of vacation he meeting of the Cercle Francais or tomorrow has been postponed until after vacation.
Daily requests for the new Municipal magazine, are being received by the Municipal Reference Bureau of the extension division. According to C. H. Talbot, who is head of that bureau, more than 1,100 copies of the newspaper were sent out to city officials last week and it is probable that the circulation of the paper will be swelled to 1,200 by the time the second issue is published. The date of the second issue has not been announced.
Magazine Going Well
The new X-ray tubes of the University have located one fracture and shown that another injury of which they were not certain was a fracture, says Dr. Naismith. The hearts of a football and a track man were examined and showed up wonderfully. Doctor Naismith now wants to test the heart of a basketball man since that game is said to be the hardest one on the heart. By use of these X-ray tubes the heart is so clearly revealed that a whole class can see it.

VARSITY FIVE RUNS UP
LEAD ON THE FRESHMEN
In Practice Game Last Night, Regulars Overcase 20-Point Handi cap and Won, 49 to 34
It took the 1915 Jayhawker regulars just twenty-six minutes to overcome a 20-point handicap lead given the freshmen five in order to make last night's exhibition basketball game interesting. The Tyros, dismayed by the Varsity's rush, hesitated and Dunnmires' men had 49 points to their 34 at the end of the forty minutes of play.
Although strong in the second half, for ten minutes at the beginning of the game it looked as if the Varsity goal tossers were in for a bad drubbing. In the last few minutes they first fired and they got started and continued that good work the second period and put the Tyros on the defensive.
The lineup of last night was
Last night's game offered the last chance to the home folks to see the 1915 machine in action before the opening of the season. The squad had three days and unless a game is scheduled in the meantime will not play their opening game here until January 22 with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Have You Paid?
The success or failure of the Men's Student Union will be determined by Friday. If the students come to its support and provide money, it will be opened after the holidays, otherwise it will not.
The indebtedness of the Union is not that of the Student Council. It's yours and mine, and every other student's. It may be that the condition has come about through the inactivity of the Committee of the Greatness this, even then the shame that comes from the sheriff puts a padlock on the door belongs to us all, and to the University.
No one can depend on the other 1616 men in school to keep the Union operating. Too many are doing that now. It depends on individual support that good campus citizens will support to give. Pay your dose!
WOMEN LOSE BY WORKING
WAY THROUGH UNIVERSITY
"I have never seen a women who worked her way through college who did not either hurt herself physically, sacrifice the social side of her course, or finish without any idea of what she could do. She made to her as a college woman." These words written by Miss Helen Bennett, chairman of the Bureau of occupations for collegiate women, formed a part of the report brought back to the Advisory Board of the Indiana State University by their dedication to the National Self-Government meeting at Northwestern recently.
CHEMISTS INSTALL PLANT FOR SOFTENING WATER
An experimental water-softening plant is now being installed on the third floor of Blake Hall.

BIRD MAN WILL SING FOR K.U. STUDENTS
Dr. Henry Oldys Will Imitate Songsters in Chapel To- [morrow at 4:30
Dr. Henry Oldys, the man who has become famous for his ability to imitate birds and who for many years has been engaged in nature study will give a demonstration of what he has ascertained, through study about the little songsters of Mount Oread. The performance will be given at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in chapel. All classes will teach the students may hear the celebrated birders. Last year Doctor Oldys was the host of the tertainer that appeared in the chapel during the day, according to those who heard him, and this year his subject "Birds and Songs of Birds" is suggestive of a repetition of last year's entertainment.
Doctor Oldys showed students last year that birds have rhythem in their songs and that they do not utter sounds in a haphazard manner but conform with a regulated beat found in the song, would be in line with Doctor Oldys's advice to prove in his lecture Wednesday morning that birds have a system of style the same as people and that each bird tries to outdo the other in producing vari-colored feathers. However, nothing of that kind has been announced by the entertainer. There is no doubt though that he will arise as something that will birds are in the habit of doing which he presses his audience as much as he surprised his hearers last year by proving that birds sang as from hymn books composed by bird composers.
DANCES ARE LESS RISQUE
Kansas Women are Ahead of the Times, Says Mrs, Brown
"There is an improvement in the dances this year over those of last year," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, dean of women. "The young women of K. U. are constantly standing for the best things, and in the way of dancing, the difference is certainly noticeable. The women have put the best dances before others elsewhere had, dances they will continue to keep ahead of us. I have in mind one Catholic priest who has removed the ban on dancing that he had ordered last year, on account of the change in the dance.
"There are three 'dots' that I have given the girls, and these same three were included in the list of 'dots' that the National Dancing Master's Association adopted at its last performance; so among those of Mr. and Mrs. Casilda. They are: Don't put your arms around man's neck so as to allow any bodily contact; don't allow the man to bend you over the floor; and don't dance all evening with the same young man."
ANNUAL PICTURE MUST BE IN BY FEBRUARY 1
All Jayhawker pictures must be in by February 1 in order to assure a space in this year's Annual. Seniors must get their gloss prints into office by January 20 and all juniors and organizations by February 1.
The Annual Board this year is making an endeavor to get the Jayhawker out a month earlier than usual and it is necessary that photographs be turned in as soon as possible.
Immediately after the Christmas rush local photographers expect to give all their attention to the Jayhawker business and students should have little trouble in securing dates for pictures.
