NO MORE SMOKING ON CAMPUS,—COUNCIL
Strict Enforcement of Rules Determined at Meeting Last Night
DO AWAY WITH EXPOSITION
Decided That Biennial University Af fair Distracts Too Much from School Work
A motion providing for a strict enforcement of the rule prohibiting smoking of any kind on the steps of and approaches to University buildings, and cigarette smoking on the campus, as well as a rigid enforcement of all disciplinary rules, was the most important action of the Student Council in its first meeting of the year last night.
In accordance with the views of the Chancellor that the University Exposition when given every two years, distracts too much from the work of the University, the Council voted to drop the exposition for this year.
The Council further provided for punishment in cases of violation of the rule by fixing the penalty, of a public reprimand for the first offense and suspension from the University for three days for the second offense.
It also voted to bond pantatoriums, list the names of those carrying bonds in the Kansan, and placed the work in the hands of a committee which will be announced at the next meeting.
Two vacancies in the Council, caused by the failure of Phil Miller and Walter Rockwell to return to school will be filled at the next regular meeting. Both vacancies are in the College. Petitions from the candidates for the position will be sent to the seat of the Council before Tuesday of next week at which time the Council will elect. Any student in the College is eligible.
A change in the manner of electing the cheer leader was also made by the Council. Hitherto the election has been by standing vote in front of Green Hall and has resulted in nearly every case in which a cheer leader voted presents. At the close of Friday's chapel all candidates for cheer leader will be given a trist, all those in attendance will be given tickets as they enter on which they can write their preference. These will be deposited in ballot boxes in charge of members of the Council in the general elections being made to have the cheer leader elected on the general ballot in the future, but due to the length of time before the next election it was not possible in this case.

COFFEE
ROASTING INJURES
Dean Sayre Thinks That the Harmful Ingredients in Coffee Comes in Roasting Green Berry
The roasting process, and not coffee itself, is accounted injurious to the average drinker of coffee, according to Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy, who recently read a paper on the subject before the American Pharmaceutical Association in the late 1970s to system of testing coffee by the United States government was shown to be ineffective.
Coffee has received unjust condemnation, continues the Dean. All cereals would, if treated in the same manner, be found to contain properties just as harmful. By a correction of the roasting evil it is hoped that the use of coffee substitutes may be eliminated.

SUGGESTS A K. U. FACTORY SOPHOMORES NAME MILLER
The Board of Administration is trying to meet the situation. Last year the Board made it possible for all students to be placed on the University pay roll, doing janitor work and other jobs. This year the number of students doing such work will be practically the same.
"More students are wanting work this year than ever before, and there are fewer jobs for them," says Mr. Hoffman. "Already 284 applications have been made and but 64 have been given steady employment. Odd jobs are numerous but this isn't the kind of work that insures a man getting through a term of school. Several students left the University this week because no steady employment could be found for them."

Eighty-seven more freshmen are enrolled in the algebra classes this year than ever before, according to the figures of the mathematics department. This increase caused three new sections to be formed, further division being prohibited by lack of room.
"This increase is gratifying to the department," said Prof. J. N. Van der Vries this morning. "It shows that the students are awakening to the importance of mathematics in their college work."

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
WRITE MANY LETTERS
Although Lawrence is ninth in population among the fifty cities of Kansas it stands in fourth place in respect to postal receipts. Possibly this may be explained by the fact that college students are most profiling with letters to the home folk in the quest of "a little spending money."

ASSOCIATIONS PLANS FOR BIBLE CLASSES
Y. M. and Y. W. Will Work With City Churches for Courses
A graded school for the study of the Bible and religious subjects is the aim sought by the ministers of the various town churches and the heads of the two christian associations and committee for organizing such a school.
The campaign is the result of the demand from students for courses in religious branches under competent instructors. Plans call for a cooperative campaign among the churches in which a committee composed of members from each church will visit every student on the Hill, acquaint him with the work, and endeavor to enroll him in one of the courses. The committee consists of Rev. F; W. Ainsley, Dr. Stanton Olinger, and Dr. A. Braden, assisted by Miss Anne Gittins and Co Hoffman,atee of the College by the addition of Rev. N. S. Elderkin the pastor of the Congregational church, and one representative from another church not yet named.
The courses will be specially adapted to young people and will be graded, text books being used. Similar Bible study campaigns are being conducted in universities of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, and Washburn and Manhattan.

Medical Dean Makes Favorable Report to Board of Administration
RAINS CLOGGED THE INTAKES
Mud Caused Roiley Condition in Pipes—According to Analyses of State Water Survey
That the students of the University will have no more trouble with the city water is the opinion expressed in the report sent to the Board of Administration by Dean S. J. Crumbine, after consultations by the State Water Survey. The report follows: At our Monday morning conference of the department, including divisions of this department, including Professor Haskins, our engineer, and Professor Young, director of the water laboratories, the question of the water supply at Lawrence was very thoroughly gone into.
Professor Young presented the last two analyses of the Lawrence water which showed it to be in very good condition. It has been determined that the recent heavy rains have filled the river intake of the water plant full of mud, and that there is now no water seaking through the valve.
Professor Young also report, that my request to secure samples from the various water galleries to determine whether or not either or all of these galleries were connected with the river, has been carried out, the analyses of which collected samples showed that there was no such connection. The basins are full, and the ground water levels have risen considerably since the continued wet weather.
Both Professor Young and Haskins believe that we will have no further difficulty until next summer, or until it becomes necessary by reason of a large fire to open up the valves in the river. The wells and infiltration galleries are now getting sufficient water to control an ordinary fire. This, together with the recent analyses of the water, lead me to make the statement which I believe should be given publicity by your board. I am also water is a present safe. As an additional measure of safety, however, we have insisted that the Water Company continue to use the hydrochlorite treatment, which they have been doing for the past two weeks.
I believe, therefore, that with these assurances, the people of the state may feel reasonably secure in knowing that the students at the University will receive a wholesome supply of water this winter, and I would request that your board make such announcement.
I shall make it my business during the coming year to see that the order of the State Board of Health on the Lawrence Water Company is strictly obeyed, and will take such measures as seem to be necessary to guard the health of the citizens of Lawrence and the students at the University.
GOLF CLUB MUCH ALIVE
Members Decide to Take One Week in Which To Learn of Interest in Sport
The Oread Golf Club did not expire last night at all. The motion to disband failed, and was followed by one which carried, to give the club one week in which to learn how much alive it is. That is to learn if the members were interested enough to keep up the links. If the students and faculty wish to maintain the course action will be taken on the matter at the meeting of the club next Tuesday night.
Any students who wish to enter the club and help keep up the links may do so by paying the usual fee of two dollars.
An attempt will be made to have the
