UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
UNIVERSITY HELPS TO START LIGHT PLANTS
Electrical Department Gives Advice and Counsel to City Executives.
The electrical engineering department of the University of Kansas is now at the disposal of the various municipalities of the state for advice concerning installing and running electric light lamps
"However," said Prof. Geo. C Shaid, this morning, "we do not wish to be put on record as universally favoring municipal ownership for the cities of Kansas. In many cases the best possible proposition is a mutually satisfactory arrangement with private corporations for the supply of electrical severance and electric power to corporations are satisfied with a reasonable return for their investment, such arrangement can be made."
University Will Advise
UNIVERSITY
In case however, the municipality would take over the electrical plant, or install a new one, the department at the University will meet the city council for a general discussion, and advice.
"But, by discussion and advice, is not meant planning the plant to the minutest detail," continued the head of the electrical engineering department. "Services of the local engineer can be secured for this purpose. Our aim is to give the city council a broad general knowledge of the subject so that it may know what it is attempting."
Cities Ask Various Questions
Cities Ask Various Questions Many and various questions are sent in to the University by cities. Here are a few of them:
Is municipal ownership or an arrangement with a private corporation the better proposition for the particular city?
Is the arrangement as proposed or already in force with the private corporation one which is to the good interests of the city and at the same time a reasonable one for the corporation?
Which of two, or more, contracts or proposals is the better for the
When the present arrangements, such as rates service, etc. are not satisfactory, what steps if any, can the city take to improve matters?
Are the questions which arise such as can be answered by one reasonable familiar with the field or should a detailed engineering study be made of it before any reliable conclusions can be reached?
What should be the basis of the rates to be charged for electrical energy whether the plant is municipal or private and the supply is from private concerns?

By the simple arrangement of having a head pencil sharpener instead of letting each stenogram or cleaver own pencils, or having reduced his $8 a year, and that with a larger staff than last year, and has saved the time a high salaried young woman would take to put a point on the lead by having a lower salaried person do the work.

She has a needle on hand at all times for that purpose.

In the little box labeled "Post Office" in the registrar's office, $500 worth of stamps are sold each month and the students and the faculty of the University use all of them. If all of the stamps were one cent ones there would be enough to cover the little office all over and still be enough left to start a carpet for the floor.
The number of people waited upon can be estimated but that averageof $19 a day comes in in smallots and anyone lacking it of George O. Foster wouldprobably place the estimate at one million.
SUPPLIES STAR FISH TO HIGH SCHOOLS
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner Sends Miniature Menageries by the Barrel Over State
The zoology department of the University of Kansas gives more assistance to the high schools of the state than any similar institution in the neighboring states. It collects frogs, jelly-fish, star-fish, dog-fish grasshoppers, mosquitoes, salts which high schools want them at prices very little above cost and far below the prices charged by private supply houses.
Five years ago Prof. W. J. Baumgartner of the department of zoology began a zoology supply department and has given four years of remuneration. In the five years about fifty barrels of material have been handled. Much of this has been used in the zoological work University, with thirty-five barrels of material. The state have been supplied with material.
The first big zoological expeditions were made to the Gulf of Mexico and to Puget Sound five years ago. Last summer another large party went to Puget Sound to collect material. Professor Baumgartner teaches in a summer school at Friday Harbor when he is not dig worms for worms or dredging for star-fish. This place is the headquarters for the expeditions in which several students take part each year.

HOW YE K. U. STUDENT OF 1873 DID CUT UP!
When the good old gathers gather on Mount Oread each June, their memories always take a long hark back to the 1873 commencement when Chancellor Fraser reigned and the history of the K. U. oldtimers was born.
At Commencement Some Gay Undergrad Shocked Crowd With Ghostly Skeleton
Fraser hall was then in the process of erection. The south wing and main hall were yet unfinished. The whole bullwing was barklike with roughly plastered walls, windows closed with old boards and a large hole above the ceiling. It was an unattractive place but the best that was to be had for the commencement exercises at that time.
A temporary platform was built at the south side of the hall and decorated with flags and flowers. The place was crowded; even all the standing room was taken. In the midst of the exercises, while the band was playing a solemn tune, there slowly descended from the dark hole in the ceiling a skeleton, shaking his hand in the scattering bones and executing a sort of ghost dance just above the heads of the people. On his big toe tug a paper on which was inscribed the single word "Pred."
For a time there was a great hubub, and a general rush made to discover the perpetrators of the joke. No one was caught. The only clue that was ever found was a rope hanging in an air shaft and a blue neckie found at the foot of the shaft. The tie was kept at Chancellor Fraser's office for several months but the owner never came after it, neither did the person to some indenture was lost by the student while climbing the rope will probably always remain a mystery—unless a prominent man now living in Kansas City will consent to give further information.
As soon as quiet had been partially restored the president's young wife, turning to her husband, asked, "What does 'brex' mean?"
"The faculty," he quickly answered.
LAW TRAINING NEEDS
CHANGE SAYS N. Y MAN
LAW TRAINING NEEDS
Clarence D. Ashley, dean of the law school of New York University, has just filed a report with the chancellor of that institution saying, "We need fewer lawyers and those we have should be highly trained, liberally educated men. There is a very general belief among fair-minded men that our legal system is antiquated technical and ill-adopted to present day needs. We need knowledge complete fundamental education. The public perceives that something is wrong in the administration of justice and the view is reached that the law itself if defective."
Edward C. Mercer the noted social worker among college men, told the Cornell fraternity men the other day that the moving picture shows have done much to eliminate drink and licentiousness among college men.

College Encourages Marriage
Of the 1,113 women who have been graduated from Barnard College since its founding, in 1893, a total of 258 have married. Leaving out the graduate of Barnard College, so also the statisticians believe, have not yet had time to select their life partners, the percentage of married women among Barnard alumnae is 29.4, with the class of '02 having 25 of 49 of its members married. Even in the class of '10 it is shown that 26 percent toward matrimony, for eleven out of the 88 have already married, with engagements on file from many of the others.
