In speaking of the pictures Professor Griffith said, "They are worthy of any student's study or examination. We have them here primarily for the students and we want to do everything to make them educational.

Later it will be shown at the University of Missouri, at Iowa State University, and at several of the eastern art centers. Before the pictures can be obtained for exhibition this museum which they will be shown must be approved by an agent which the Club sends out. This agent visited the University about two weeks ago.
A SLOW ENROLLMENT
Huge Crowd Filled Gym All Day-
Seventy New Students
Entered
At noon the Y. W. C A. came to the rescue with hot coffee and sandwiches though there could not stay the impatience or fatigue of the mass of students.
The Gymnasium was crowded yesterday from the time the doors opened until late in the afternoon with a shifting impatient crowd of students, each intent upon getting enrolled as quickly as possible. The enrollment for the luckiest was slow work and for those whom fortune did not favor it was nerve racking. Some students, many of them young women, were forced to o'clock and stood around or shifted chairs until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The same scene was repeated in miniature this morning in the office of Dean Templin. All morning a crowd was gathered seeking to get aid from several advisors or from the Dean. Changes in courses, mistakes in enrolling and divers other things that had been made were the registrar's office which received its quota of students paying up back laboratory fees in order to get their credits, students registering and students trying to enroll.
Those who failed to enroll in the College yesterday can not do so until Saturday when they will enroll in classes there. At the place, will be announced later.
Follow Vaccination Instructions
There are a good many sore arms on the hill this week as a result of the anti-smallpox vaccination. "Follicle-invasive diseases advise Dr. James B. Naismith, and that sickly feeling will disappear shortly."
At present there have been about seventy new students registered, while the number who withdrew at the end of the first semester cannot be told yet. Nearly fifty students flunked more than one third of their work while the red cards which announce a flunk in a course poured into the Deans office to the number of nearly 500.
MISS SHADE IMPROVED;
WILL GO HOME TOMORROW
Florence Shade, who has been seriously ill at the Jones hospital as a result of vaccination is much improved and will probably be taken to her home at Ellsworth tomorrow. Although unable to take the semester quizzes Miss Shade will be given credit for the semester's work. She will be unable to complete her senior work this year.

uniors Organize "The Owls" To Replace Defunct Friars-Kennedy President
Duke Kennedy was elected president; Russel Gear, vice-president; Donald Joseph, secretary-treasurer. This is the only junior organization since the Friars dissolved in 1912. The lack of a class society has been felt during the last two years and the organization expects to develop a stronger union between the junior class and the University.

3ASKETBALL CAUSES
STUDENTS TO FREEZE
The instructors were ready inside, and the students were freezing outside—still the doors of the gymnasium did not open at seventh-yesterday morning. The eight o'clock whistle boomed out before any of the students were allowed to use the second door, for waiting purposes.
Why? The powers that be say that on account of the basketball game Saturday night, the janitors were unable to get the gymnasium ready for enrollment before eight that morning.

The team will play four games, a. $ ^{a} $ Conference battles, on its coming journey, and upon the result of the encounters will depend the chances of Sproull's quintet for the Conference Championship.
Tomorrow and Thursday evening the bunch meets Coach Brewer's Missouri Tigers at Columbia. The result of these two games is hard to forecast from this angle, but at present it looks as though the Kansas five should win both bases. Wenkel captain, and Bridle, a star forward, the Tigers dropped the last game of 'he Washington series.
From Columbia, the Jayhawk crew moves on to St. Louis, where they meet Washington, the bunch they just defended at home. Coach Hamilton expects two rather easy victories at St. Louis, though of course they are captured by Mooran will work better at home than on a loreln court.
The team will return to Lawrence Sunday afternoon, and will immediately commence practice for the season. A copy of theORMal here the following Thursday.

BASKETBALL'S ROUGH
Referees Do Not Enforce Rules, Says Dr. Naismith, Inventor of Game
A degenerate form of basketball is being played in Robinson Gymnasium this season, according to Dr. Naismith, inventor of the game.
"The game which is being played this year is not up to the standard which we saw in the gym two years ago. Basketball at K. U. has degenerated into mere slugging matches quite frequently. There has not been a clean game played on the court this year.
"The roughness which some persons have attributed to the laxity of the rules is due entirely to the playfulness of the animals." Doctor Naismith said today.
"The rules absolutely prohibit any personal contact and at the recent convention in New York, it was voted to bar any blocking also. All the roughness which is displayed on the local court can be blamed on the negligence of referees who allow slugging to go on.
"Basketball was intended to be an open game. Agility and speed should win rather than roughness and slugging. At the convention in New York, a Princeton five gave a model exhibition of the open style of play which was wonderful. Such a game is more interesting to the spectators and gives opportunity for skillful players.
"The only way in which the game can be brought back to its former spirit, for the referee's assist on the side of the play, is to remove or offending player from the game."

SIGN UNION PETITIONS DURING ENROLLMENT
Council Committee Busy Yesterday Obtaining Boosters for New Proposition
WORK IS ALREADY HALF DONE
Four Hundred Men are Now Members—As Many More Wanted This Week
The University of Kansas is sure of its men's Student Union! More than half of the required members were obtained yesterday by the circulation of petitions. This morning when the meeting was held in Fraser to make the report to the Student Union Committee, 358 names were turned in. More than a half dozen petitions were submitted; these signers would increase the number to at least four hundred and probably more. The committee has estimated that eight hundred members are necessary.
During enrollment yesterday the signatures were obtained. It is stated that the law classes, in several instances to a man, signed for memorial services of the men were enthusiastic as is shown by the success of the petitions.
Tomorrow from eleven to twelve Randolph Kennedy, chairman of the committee, will be in Room 112 Fraser, to receive copies of the petitions. Also, if any petitions are may can be left with Kennedy at this time.
The committee is planning on putting up a dial showing the new signatures each day. Each day this week at noon those carrying petitions will leave new signatures with Kennedy at Fraser.
It is conservatively estimated that by March 1 the new Union will have been formed.
Student Organizations Endorse Plan for Union
Student organizations are much in favor of the establishment of a student Union as the following inter- with organization presidents show:
Spud Fischer, president of the Pan-Hellenic Association: "The fraternities are strongly in favor of the rule, but they will aid in any manner possible."
Ames Rodgers, president of the Sphinx society: "The Student Union would do more for the freshman class than any other thing that we can do to promote diversity. The greatest need of the first-year men is a place where they can get together and become acquainted, not only with the members of their own class, but the older students of the University. The Sphinx society, as well as the rest of the students, will surely be behind the movement."
Dan Hazen, captain of the track team: "A good thing; it will bring the different schools together in a manner that is now impossible. I believe that it will do much to increase school spirit."
Elmer Whitney, president of the Sachmas; "I am decidedly in favor of the movement—it is a good thing to do," he says. "The step will serve us an experiment and will show what is needed when a permanent union is erected. The classes and the class organizations should get that training and mind." He says, "every manner possible."
E. J. Baldwin, president of the Chemical Engineering Society: "I am in favor of this movement and be able to get a building the better it will be."
E. L. Harshberger, president of the Civil Engineering Society: "This plan of starting in a small way is a good start on this way we can get at one."
Ralph Yeoman, president of the Y.
Palmetto University, are heartily in favor of
the movement.
L. S. Smith, president of the miners; "All the miners are in favor of the movement and I for one will do all in my power to further it."
J. M. Johnson, president sophomore class: "I will be mighty glad to appoint a committee for the purpose of helping get a Student Union. The plan meets with my hearty approval.'
