Three sections of the proposed rules differ from the set adopted by the Student Council last October.
The name of the publication is to be the same, the board to have the same number as heretofore, and the salaries of the editor-in-chief and business manager to remain as they are now.
The editor-in-chief and manager shall be responsible for the liabilities of the Jayhawker as follows: The cost of the first 1000 of the Jay; hawker, excluding the salaries of the editor-in-chief and business manager, must not exceed $5,000, providing the number of senior fees exceed 375. The manager and editor shall be allowed an increase of half the salary of the editor in actual cost of inserting the cuts of those seniors in the senior group. Any excess shall be deducted from the salaries of the editor and manager.
The members of the senior class will guarantee the assets of the Javhawker as follows:
On or before the last Friday in September of their senior year, each senior shall deposit with the manager of the Jayhawker $7.00 to cover the expense of his cut and助 and to act as a guarantor. This fee shall be subject to refund in accordance to section ten, to be explained later.

BUYS GIANT PICTURES FOR K. U. EXPOSITION
University Purchases 20 Beautiful Campus Views By Louis Wilhelm
One of the permanent purchases made for the University Exposition by the University is a set of 20 photographic enlargements of campus scenes by Louis Wilhelm.
In each one the greatest care has been taken to bring out the best possibilities of the view with regard to foreground light and cloud effects. In all of them even the casual object will show their superiority over ordinary views.
They are the largest ever made of Kansas scenes, being 48 by 60 inches each, and are conceded to be the best views of the campus ever made.
The pictures include the Library, Snow hall, Blake hall, Medic building, Fraser, Robinson Gymnasium, Haworth hall, Marvin hall, the Chemistry building, Fowler Shops, Green hall, the Museum and several semi-panoramic views.

FRESHMAN SMOKER NOT A GREEN AFFAIR
First Annual Get-Together O Fledglings An Unmitigated Success
The freshman class, minus President Reber, held a smoker last night at Ecke's hall and judging from the thunderous applause that was issuing from the windows the passerby gathered that it was a huge success.
The noise started when Chancellor Strong gave the "Opening Address" and continued booming when Professor Thorpe followed him with a "talk," after which the Freshman Glee club broke forth into song. Then came a clever warrior, farce, "Fifteen Minutes in an Employment Bureau," which gave a little insight into the after life of a college man.
"Four rounds of fast boxing by Dingman's white hopes" wound up the program. During the evening "a" cigar and "some" cigarettes were passed around and all forget the Father, who had been smoking to fill the room with the denseness.
Financially the smoker was not a success, the manager going into the hole about three or four dollars but it is possible that some outstanding money from ticket sales may overcome this.
Carruth To Lecture In Chapel May 8 On Superior
TO TALK EUGENICS
Race
Professor Carruth will lecture in chapel on "Eugenics" on May 8th at 4:30 o'clock
Professor Carruth was selected because of his reputation as a lecturer and because a man was desired who was not professionally interested in the subject and could treat it from experience. No admission is to be charged.
The lecture is at the instigation of Mrs. Huntington Wilson, wife of the former secretary of state, who is greatly interested in the subject, and takes a prominent part in the agitation the movement is now receiving. Mrs. Wilson has offered a sum of $10,000 to out the country to professors who will prepare and deliver a lecture on eugenics.
Eugenics is the science of improving the human stock, and seeks by proper mating, the development of a superior race.
“Pinky” (Wayne) Wingart, last semester managing editor of the Daily Kansan, fluttered in this morning for a visit. Pinky is now making good on the Topeka Capital and says he likes it. He covers sport, police, circuses, and politics.

Undergraduates Seek Change And Purchase Musical Festival Tickets
But even K. U. students want a change from the above brand of "music." Since six a. m. Monday, a long line of undergraduates has passed by the ticket window of the annual Music Festival which will be held on the campus Thursday and Friday.
One peculiar fact about the ticket sale is that it has revealed a change within one year in musical appreciation among the students. Last year but 225 student attended the concert. The preliminary seat sale shows already that 400 collegians will have their eyes on Conductor Emil Oberhofer's baton when he swings it for the opening chorus.
A feature of the gathering will be the great number of fraternity, sorority and club students who will hear the symphonies together. A dozen organizations have reserved blocks of seats.
Harold Henry, the K. U. graduate who will appear as one of the soloists with the orchestra, is believed to be one of the main factors in drawing the large student audience.
NOW TWO WANT W. S.
G. A. PRESIDENCY
The line-up for candidates for offices on the W. S. G. A. council has received recruits until there are now two candidates for every office except that of vice president. The candidates now in the field are Jesse Sackett and Bernice Schultz; vice president, Helen Keith; secretary, Agnes Engle and Helen Auplin; treasurer, Genevieve Herrick and Marian Manley.
Miss Scaly, Miss Herrick and Miss Engle are at present representatives on the council while Miss Manley served as freshman representative for the first semester of last year. The election promises to be a warmer contest than the one last year.

Fellows in Petroleum Research Work Received Offers to Join Duncan Laboratory Force
Dr. F. W. Bushong and I. W. Humphrey, fellows in the industrial research department, who for two years have been working out methods for the chemical utilization of petroleum products, will probably go to the University of Pittsburgh to carry on their investigations on a larger scale in the new half-million dollar research laboratory on the expiration of their fellowship here, June first.
Professor Bushong, in addition to working with his fellowship, acts as assistant director of the research laboratories in the absence of Dr. R. K. Duncan. In the two years the two fellows have been working on petroleum valuable discoveries have been made.
Five years ago "Doc" Bushong was working on petroleum, and one day had a violent explosion R. K. Duncan went to see what was the matter, which led to him acquaintance with Professor Bushong's ideas on the subject.
Dr. Duncan became interested in these ideas and this led to the establishment of the Greenlees fellowship, which Professor Bushong held for two years. Then he taught for a year, and for the past two years has been working in the present Fels fellowship. He has been assistant director of the research laboratories for three years.
Humphrey received his A. B. here in 1910, and has since been working with the present fellowship. He is both a Sigma Xi and a Phi Beta Kappa.
Nothing is definitely settled about the departure of the two men, but it is altogether probable that they will leave, although "Doc" said this morning that he was far from being pleased with the prospect of leaving Kansas.
The results of scientific interest obtained by Bushong and Humphrey were read in a paper before the International Congress of Applied Chemistry in New York last fall.
