BOARD O.K.'S BUDGET FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 10, 1914.
Also Gives $700 for Work of Extension Division—Light for Cut-off
TOBOGGAN ON GOLF LINKS?
Safe Slide For Coasters Suggested- Work of Students in Prison Mines Approved
The budget for the summer school was approved an appropriation of $700 made for the extension division, Chancellor Frank Strong was directed to meet with Spooner needed light north of Spooner library, a suggestion made for a to-beginning place for the students and the plan for the use of the prison mines by the students approved at the time. The board of Administration here yesterday.
The roster for the summer session faculty carries sixty-two names of which all but one are on the University faculty.
The appropriation made for the extension division comes as a result of the increased work in that department. At the beginning of the year an appropriation of $750 was made but since that time the work of correcting the course was completed. For this reason the money was given. The funds will go to those instructors who do the correcting of the papers.
The action on the library cut-off light is a result of the campaign started by the Daily Kansan. Several accidents have taken place at the "slide" off to Louisiana street during the ice time in winter season because of the lack of light. Nothing definite has been done on the matter but it is thought that some kind of light will be put up soon.
The suggestion for the tobogain place is the outgrowth of the reaction against the accident on Adams street a few weeks ago. The exact location of the place is not fixed but it will likely be on some handy place on the campus, probably north on the golf links. In that place the sport will be entirely on University grounds and reasonably safe.
No action was taken on the arrest of the Student Council or the breaking into of the printing plant Friday night.
The plan of allowing the mining students of the University to work in mines was conceived some time ago by Prof. Erasmus Haworth and Prof. Louis Young, a graduate practice experience with the theoretical work here. Later Dean F. W. Blackmar took it up and obtained permission from the State Board of Correction for the use of the mines by the students. The Board of Administration and the permission of the Board of Correction yesterday.
The meeting was informal, the Chancellor not expecting the Board until later in the month. The members stopped on their way to Topeka. Mrs. Lewis did not stay for the entire session however.
KANSAN CARTOONIST HELPS
ENGINEERS TO ADVERTISE
The engineers do not seem to be worried by the fact that their annual banquet is to be held on Friday, the thirteenth. Two large cartoon posters by Maloy have been placed in the main hall of the Engineering Building. One of them is a bench that is one thing which the Lawrence "bulls" can't stop. The other promises that if you're in jail your eats will be brought to you."
Oscar Dingman, president of the engineers, has appointed H. D. King, D. E. Ackers, and H. W. Baugher to arrange the "eats," and P. K. Dunn to manage the "stunts." The speakers are to be followed by four Kinesner; for the electricals, H. C. Hansen; for the mechanicals, F. B. Devil; for the chemicals, E. J. Baldwin; and for the miners, "Ute" Smith.
OFFICE OF MRS. BROWN
WILL BE READY SOON
The office of the Women's Advisor, Mrs. Eustace Brown, will not be ready for occupancy for two or three weeks and carpenters now working on the Job.
Mrs. R. D. Murdock of Wichita will have charge of the furnishings and decorations, and will have them ready as soon as the carpenters finish. Mrs. Murdock has a considerable reputation as an interior decorator and Mrs. Brown's only regret is that she will not have more room.

UNION GETS 25 NEW SIGNERS
Men Come to Chairman Kennedy and Express Desire to Join—166 Have Paid
The invitation issued by the Student Council to all students to come to the Union building and make an estimate of its value to them has resulted in a gain of some twenty-five members.
Twenty-five men came to Chairman Duke Kennedy and told him that they had decided that they needed the Union and that if he was ready, for their dollar they would pay. In fact, according to Kennedy these students are paying up better than the pledgers.
To date but 166 men have paid the money they signed for. Since the Union committee must have the money within two weeks the students are urged to redeem their pledges as soon as possible.
Several gifts have been made to the Union by down town merchants. The University Book Store gave a picture and Gustafson a clock.
RECRUIT K. N. G'S FROM ENGINEER RANKS
New Requirements for Enlistment in Line With Mathematical Work
That hereafter the University company of Kansas National Guards will be composed of students from the engineering school was the statement made this morning by Superintendent F. E. Jones, of Fowler Shops, who is captain of the present company of National Guards.
"The reason for the proposed change in rules by which this would be brought about is that the routine work of drilling should be correlated with school work," said Mr. Jones. "Now there is no connection between the work done by the infantry company and anything else at the University. A company composed of engineers would be different in its organization, in that it would be a military field company and the outdoor work of surveying or judge duty, and would be similar to the filt work the civil engineers must do for their degree. Then the government would be willing to pay for some of the time during the summer which the company would put in and this would materially aid many of the students."
The present company is composed of sixty-eight men. A company of field engineers is composed of 164 men. But," said Mr. Jones, "there is about $14000 worth of equipment necessary before the change could be made. Six field wagons are needed, bestdesk surveying outfits, demolition outfits and all the apparatus essential for camp life. About four weeks would be spent outdoors each summer."

WILL PUT A LIGHT AT
CUT-OFF IF ITS NEEDED
Do the students of the University use
the library? $250 worth after night.
$250 worth after night.
The amount the path is used after dark is the crux which will determine whether a light will be put at the foot of the short cut.
Chancellor Strong says the light will be put up if it can be determined that it is really needed. The cost of putting one post is $225.
There has been some little agitation on Mount Ouread recently for a street light by the steps at the foot of the "cut-off". On dark nights, especially when the weather is bad, the cement steps are dangerous and if there is sleet on the ground it is almost impossible to walk down the steps safely after dark, according to those who desire the improvement.
Since a lamp was placed near the street car waiting station by Green Hall, the "cut-off" northeast of the library is practically the only place on the campus used by the students, which is not well lighted.
DEBATERS THINK THAT
U. S. SHOULD INTERVENE
The United States should intervene in Mexico, University Debating Society decided last night. It was considered that the protection of the national honor and citizenship outweighed pecuniary and other considerations. E.J. Goppert and E.G. Smith advocated intervention while the negative was supported by E.G. Groene and H. Adams.
At the next debate the mid-week date rule question will be debated and the mere man point of view will be expressed.

REVIVE HASH HOUSE LEAGUE
Those Who Live at $4 Per Will Have Chance to Play Real Baseball
With the advent last year of robins, "cases," book agents and other harbingerings of spring, the Daily Kansan brought the Boarding Club Baseball League to the light of And now the league is reviving.
The League, which came to be commonly known as the "Hash House Circuit" sprang into instant popularity with that part of the student body living in clubs. In nearly every club where nine men play basketball, everyone knew anything about baseball, captains and managers were elected.
The boarding clubs, after a spiritless and uneventful winter became scenes of great activity. Those who had regaled their clubbates with tales of prowness on the diamond got out behind the house each afternoon and evening to warm up their whip.
Although no training trips were taken, nor any expensive managers hired, the teams that were turned out from these clubs played some fast and interesting games. The leading pitcher of the league was Miller, working on the slab for the Midways. He did not lose a game all season. Dale of the Midways led in batting.
The final series showed the Knights of Columbus lined up against the Midways. The game was hard fought all the way through, the Midways winning by the score of 6 to 0. The championship team was one of the cups, one from the athletic association and another by Allie Carroll.
Sixteen teams entered the league and all finished except two. Most of the same teams and some new ones are expected to enter this year. As soon as the teams are organized, a team will be given the captain and manager should be left at the Kansan office so that the schedule can be made out.
