ENGINEERS TO SEND EXHIBIT OVER STATE
Plan Collection of Materials to Show Work to Kansas Taxpayers
RIGHT THE MISTAKEN IDEAS
Exhibit Will Correct Wrong Impression of University Given By Fraternity Question
The engineering faculty have taken steps toward gathering materia of the work of the engineering school students for an exhibit to be sent out over the State to acquaint the people with the University work
The University exposition last year and a few other displays show over the state grid. Dr. P. F. makes the idea of the need of such displays where more of the people of the state could see them.
"The recent agitation over the fraternity question and other social indulgences of the students has given a one-sided impression of the student activities to the people of the State," said Dean Walker today. "We will try to show the results of real education."
The display will be in the form of photographs, interior and exterior views enlarged to suitable size and properly mounted, specimens of students' work in drawing, reports, theses, instruments which may form an attractive display with suitable descriptions of their uses, test specimens, and data on engineering education put up in graphical form.
The following men representing various phases of the display were suggested last night to form the committee to have charge of the
Prof. G, C. C. Shand, electrical;
Prof. H. A. Rice, civil; Prof. A. H.
Slusser, mechanical; Prof. J. D. Graver,
drawing; Prof. F. L. Brown, record of testing materials; and Prof. McMullan, material shear. Another must be named for the chemical and mining department of the display.
COLLEGE STUDENTS MAY
BECOME REAL SOLDIERS
This committee will also have charge of the display that will be sent to represent the University in anamama-Pacific Exposition, in 1915.
Hereafter a candidate for admission may be excused from mental examination upon presentation of certificate that he is a regularly enrolled student in good standing in a university, college or technical college entrance requirements of which include proficiency in mathematics and English as outlined by the college entrance examination board, or a certificate that he had been graduated from a preparatory school meeting the requirements of that board. 14 units of the entrance examinations required by the board, requiring mathematics, English and history.
Admission requirements for the United States Military Academy at West Point has been modified so that, without lowering the standards prospective cadets may be matriculated by substituting equivalents for some of the units of study hitherto insisted upon.
SOPH DIMES PLENTIFUL
— BUT MORE ARE WANTED
Today was Soph Dime Day, and the coffees of the soph tareury are now bursting with gold and silver. The committeemen who collected the money reported a general desire, on the part of the second year, to wipe out the class defect. However, many of the class who failed to see the notice in the Kansas state prepared to pay the assessment, and the amount of money collected is not yet sufficient to meet expenses in full.
The names of those who contributed will be checked off and the others given an opportunity to pay on Thursday and Friday. The committeemen are requested to continue their work on those days.
155 STUDENTS GIVEN FREE VACCINATION ON THE HILL
Dr. Naismith reports two more vaccinations this morning, which makes about 155 students that have received vaccination on the hill. Only a very few of the number have been bothered by sore arms.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 28, 1914
TALENT CHOSEN FOR "COUNT NO ACCOUNT"
One Tryout Sufficient for Selection of Cast for Senior
Play
Plenty of talent turned out for the tryout for the senior play held in Fraser Hall last night. The manager, Etta Smith, is so well pleased with the showing made last night that no more tryouts will be held.
Selection from the aspirants were made for 17 character parts and 12 for the chorus. No announcements are made, and ones will be made until tomorrow.
"Everything seems rosey for
'Count No-Account' now. "Miss-
congrating the excellent quality of our
material his future seems assured."
Sale of tickets for the play begins February 10. Reservations may be made the Monday before the play is presented.
Pictures of the members of the cast of "Count No-Account" will be taken at Squires at 12:30 Friday.
TO TRY FOR PLACES IN HAWK CLUB PLAY
Students Will Compete for Positions on Cast of Sole Dramatic Production of Year
The tryouts for the spring play by the Hawk Dramatic club will be help in Room 110, Fraser, tonight. The Hawk board of examination will test all students who desire a tryout and a cast will be chosen from the best actors. The tryouts are open to all students except freshmen.
"We hope to have a large crowd out for the tryouts tonight," said Russell Clark, advisory manager of the club, today. "Little interest has been shown in dramatics at the University this week; we are eager to show our crowd out tonight. I am afraid the Hawks will be unable to present a play this spring."
The actors probably will select a pay tonight. "The Aviator" which was presented last year, may be repeated or the Hawks may choose "The Naked Truth" or "Merely Mary Ann."
The members of the board which will examine the contestants for positions on the east, are Clarence Sowers, chairman; Hale Winger, Hodowen, Wayne Wingert, Ward Hatcher, and Maurine Fairweather.
LAW PROFESSORS ATTEND
BAR SESSIONS AT TOPEKA
No classes were held today for the seniors in the School of Law because of the attendance at the sessions of the State Bar Association in Topeka of Dr. Burdick and Professor Osborne.
Dean Green was in Topeka yesterday and will return to Topeka today, but met his classes here this morning. All classes in the law school will be held as usual tomorrow.
"On account of a misunderstanding at the beginning of the year, it has been decided to repeat the course in 'The Greek in English' the second term," said Prof. A. N. Lilcox this morning. Several have been accused of misreading this from the misunderstanding.
Ralph Spotts a senior in the School of Law, gave an address before the association yesterday on "The Social Center and the Law."
This is a three hour course," continued Professor Wilcox, "and no previous knowledge of Greek is required. It is designed especially to give scientific students an opportunity to get a knowledge of the number of letters from which derived so many technical terms employed in the sciences. It covers also the whole field of English words derived from the Greek."
WILL REPEAT A GREATER
COURSE NEXT SEMESTER
The hour for this subject will probably be eight o'clock.
SMALLPOX CHECKED.
SAYS DR. GILLISPIE
County Physician Finds No New Cases of Disease in Lawrence
The man who says he would rather have smallpox than be vaccinated never had the smallpox.
Ask the man who has peck marks if he was vaccinated before he had the disease—Dean Crumbine.
The smallpox epidemic in Lawrence is checked, according to Dr. S. T. Gillispie, county physician. No new cases have developed and all cases are well under control. Fifteen students of the University were vaccinated by Dr. Gillispie yesterday.
"The contagious principle," said Dr. Crumbine, "is contained in the exhalations of the skin and lungs and may live for months on clothing or furniture. The contagium is tenacious and may be conveyed by persons, hair, clothing, paper, letters, furniture or it may be spread by the wind, blowing dust containing the virus.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine and Secretary of the State Board of Health, issues a letter to smallpox, his prevention and cure.
"The symptoms begin with a chill, severe aching in the limbs, intense headache and high fever. Within hours they face and hands begin to break out."
"The most efficient means for preventing the spread of smallpox is by vaccination. The protection is believed to be as complete against contagion as is that of smallpox against a second attack. Convincing proof of the efficiency of vaccination is shown by the figures piled from top to bottom in Topeca in 1911. In this epidemic, twenty-three deaths resulted and not one of these persons had been successfully vaccinated. Two different families were infected by a cat, so that too much precaution cannot be taken to prevent the spread of the disease."

SERIES OF DRY YEARS BROUGHT ON DROUGHT
That the drought of last summer was not due entirely to the lack of rainfall at that time, but was the culmination of a series of dry years, each a little more severe than its predecessor, and that practically all of Kansas is underlain by ground water in great abundance are the conditions in which we report in a short on well waters in Kansas, prepared for free distribution by Prof. Erasmus Haworth, state geologist.
In Report on*Kansas Water Supply, Prof. E. Haworth Explains Dry Weather
The report was written on account of the unusually dry weather of last summer, when wells all over the state were going dry, and the location of ground water was an acute problem. It attempts to give correct information as to the location of water-bearing strata, the aquatic arities of the river valleys, and the formation of the different river valleys. The general habits of ground water are explained.
The bulletin contains more than a hundred pages of text, a colored geological map of the state, a water map of the west end of the state, and cross section maps to illustrate the principles of ground water. It it written on the map by a physician, and will be distributed free when the price of postage, six cents, accompanies the application.
According to the bulletin practically all of western Kansas is covered with Permian debris, brought eastward from the Rockies, which rest on an island in a porous, and forms an excellent storehouse for water.
In northeast Kansas, which is covered with glacial debris, a similar condition exists where the debris rests on a water-wheel. This extremely variable, however, owing to the erosive action of the glaciers.
The location of the Dakota Sandstone formation in Kansas is shown in the bulletin. This formation is an almost inexhaustible source of ground water, and in many localities furnishes artesian wells.
The peculiarities of each section of the state are treated. Practically the entire state is covered with porous material that will yield sufficient water for domestic purposes. In some sections water is unavailable, but the drought of last summer need not have been so serious a condition did. All the river valleys of the state, except in the extreme west, are capable of yielding water in sufficient quantities for municipal supplies.

PAT MURPHY ELECTED
SPEAKER FOR ENGINEERS
The students of the School of En engineering held a meeting for the purpose of selecting a "Student Day" speaker this morning. Pat Murphy, William Weldine, Howard Newby, and Ieland Angevine were selected. Pat Murphy was seated on the second ballot. He is a senior civil.
It was also decided to have the engineers annual banquet on Friday, March 6, in the Gymnasium.
WILL OPEN STUDENT UNION FEBRUARY 20
Committee in Charge Plans to Start Campaign for Quarters at Once
"Open the Student Union not later than February 20." That is the slogan of the Student Union committee which is working hard on the details of the plan. "We hope to furnish the house with money obtained from another source, so that the men can pay their expenses and pay the running expenses," Kennedy, the committee chairman says.
A campaign for student members will be started with the beginning of the second semester. The fee has decided upon, but it will be nominal.
A committee from the junior class, to assist the Student Union committee in any way possible, was appointed by Russell Gear, president of the class, this morning. Randolph Kennedy, Bill Brown, Vie Householder and Sam Degen compose the committee.
“It's a good idea to start this year,” Gear says. “Let's show the legislature how badly we need a building of our own by getting a house even if we have to begin on a small scale. We want some place to go where we can meet all other students on common ground.”
The house at 1200 Tennessee is being considered by the committee as a possible location, although a deal has not been closed.
TELLS ENGINEERS OF U. S. RECLAMATION
A. P. Davis, In Government Service,
Interests Students on West
End of Campus
The illustrated lecture by Mr. A. P. Davis, chief engineer in the United States Reclamation Service, in Marvin Hall yesterday, gave engineers an opportunity to get some idea of the magnitude of the task undertaken, that of turning the American deserts into fertile fields.
"The government has constructed since 1902 when the Reclamation Act was passed, 8000 miles of canals, 77 tunnels with an aggregate length of $22\frac{1}{4}$ miles, and 99 million yards of excavations," said Mr. Davis. "Enormous tracts of land which formerly bore nothing but sage brush, now yield splendid crops of alfalfa, vegetables and fruit."
Beautifully colored slides were shown, depicting government work now being done on dams in the valleys of the Boise, the Snake, the Gunnar, and the Snohone rivers. About 200 persons attended the lecture.
FORMER STUDENT DIES AT
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO
The friends of Ray Pond, a student in the School of Engineering last year, were shocked today on receiving the news of his death at Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Pond left Lawrence last October to take up a position with the Government as a Federal Court lawyer. He hoped that the change of climate would benefit his health. He had been for some time troubled with a valvular affection of the heart and up until the time of his death had he remained not expected to be able to return to school. Mr. Pond was a member of the
Mr. Pond was a member of the Sigma Delta Phi fraternity.
Typhoid vaccination may be received from 4 to 5 Friday p. m. at 204 Snow Hall.

COUNCIL PUTS BAN ON "STEP" SMOKING
Rules Applying to Buildings and Approaches Will Be Enforced
STUDENT DAY ON MARCH 3RD
Council Again Says It Won't Enforce Rules It Doesn't Approve—Davis and Tudor Resign
After reaffirming its determination to enforce no rules which it does not approve or which it has no voice in making, the Student Council unanimously approved the major part of the no-smoking rule and will see to its enforcement, beginning tomorrow morning.
"No smoking in any University building or on the steps or entrance to any building," is the modified rule of the council. No method of enforcement. No violators will be dealt with as cases come to the attention of the Council.
"There is no excuse for students smoking in our buildings or near them," a member, of the Council today, said, "and we are going to try to stop him from doing it. He should he do should in his room or on the street. I think this is the opinion of the major portion of the student body."
Two members of the Council resigned because they will leave the University at the beginning of the second semester. Bob Davis, the representative from the School of Medicine, goes to Rosedale and Buster Tudor from the College leave the University. Candidates in these positions should file petitions with twenty-five signers and a fee of fifty cents with the president of the Council before Tuesday, February 3.
A recommendation for rearrangement of courses in the College, giving freshmen who desire to take up work, of work, was filed with the faculty.
The date for Student Day has definitely been set for March 3.
HAVE BETTER OFFERS BUT REMAIN AT K. U.
Law Professors Prefer Teaching to Other Posts at Higher Salaries
It is not often that love of work and love of money interfere, but in the case of two law professors at the University of Kansas, love of work costs them several thousand dollars a year.
One of these men, Dr. W. L. Burdick, recently turned down an offer of $5,000 a year from a company that wanted him to edit an encyclopedia, in order to continue with his work at the School of Law.
The other man, Prof. Edward D. Osborn, formerly of Topeka, and the son of a former governor of Kansas, teaches law not because he needs the salary, but because he likes the business.
CLASSES TO CONSIDER
DEBATING TOURNAMENT
Meetings of the several classes will be called immediately after the close of the first semester for the purpose of getting the ideas of the students on inter-class debates. The presidents of the classes have said that the idea appealed to them and that the debates would possibly hold a place of much importance in the happenings of the year.
"If the other presidents are in favor of the idea, I will call a meeting of the junior class about the first week of the next semester," said Russell, the boss, this morning. "I have not had much time to think about the matter, but I intend to talk to some of the members of the class that are interested in that kind of work and see if they can be involved, as they consider." If they do, I will call a meeting as soon as convenient."
Mechanicals to Meet
The student branch of the A. S. M. E. of the School of Engineering will meet at the home of Prof. F. M. Silbey Thursday evening at 7 p. m. The following men will speak of the program: Hollister March, Howard L. Newby, E. M. Boyington, and Joseph Smith.
