JUNIORS ARE READY TO PICK ANNUAL OFFICERS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 17, 1913.
Editor and Manager for 1914 Jayhawker Will be Elected Tomorrow
TWO TICKETS, GOOD MATERIAL
Toss-up for Editor—Bechtold and Gardner Should Run Close—Candidates' Statements.
Time: 8:30 a. m. to 3 p. m.
Place: Basement of law building. Qualifications: Anyone classified as junior; eligibility committee consists of chairmen of student activities committees of the two student councils.
NUMBER 89.
Judges: James Leidigh, Paul Royer, Dan Hazen, Arthur Perry. Rules: No campaigning within ten feet of the polls, etc.
The junior class will select the manager and editor of the 1914 Jayhawkwer tomorrow, when the "Representative" ticket, with Alfred Waddel for editor and Richard Gardner for manager; angles with Hutchert with Hutchert Flint for editor and Edmund C. Becksted for manager .
So far little interest has been shown in the election. Nearly 400 juniors are eligible to vote, but it is doubtful if a heavy vote will be cast. On the whole the election has been the quietest ever held on the bill.
An interesting fact concerning the salaries attached to the offices recently came to light. "The manager gets $200 and the editor $100—if they make it after paying for the annual," said Asher Hobson, manager of the 1913 annual today. "Moreover, both manager and editor have to put up a personal bond to make good any losses the printing company may incur. The offices are not the 'pie' they are usually considered. They are another way of spelling hard work."
As regards the individual candidates the races are doped to be close.
The statements of the candidates follow;
To the junior class:
I am a candidate for the office of business manager of the 1914 Jayhawker and have no rosy promises to make. If elected I shall give my time and most strenuous efforts to make the annual of the class of 1914 the best ever. Having had considerable experience in the printing business, and therefore a practical knowledge of what the printing of the annual means, I believe I am qualified to manage it.
Richard Gardner.
Having held responsible positions with many printing firms, among which are The Park College Printing office, Parkville, Missouri, Myrs Printery, Atchison, and having been manager of the Lawrence Daily Democrat the summer of 1910, I feel I have obtained practical knowledge of every phase of the printing industry. This, which enables me to assure the junior class a bigger and better book, at the same price.
Edmund C. Bechtold.
In response to the Kansan's request, I may state that my qualifications for the office of editor include two years' experience in newspaper work and consequently a knowledge of editorial methods. Furthermore, I am asking the office solely on my merits and ability and am not backed by any organization or clique. If elected, all appointments will be stricly on a merit basis and will not be influenced by "pull."
Alfred F. Waddel.
If elected editor of the Jayhawker I shall give my best efforts to putting out an annual worthy of the class of 1914.
Herbert Flint.
WE MISSED THIS HOLIDAY
FOR WEATHER WAS WARM
The University was without heat for several hours this morning owing to the breaking of fittings on the 10-inch pipe which carries the heat. The repairs took only a short time, but it was necessary to allow the pipes to cool before the work could be done. As the weather was mild, no discomfort resulted.

BARRACCHIA OF ITALY IN CHAPEL TONIGH
Noted Prina Donna Wil Sing in Several Different Languages

Languages
Four years ago a party of voice students under the leadership of Professor Hubach spent a summer studying with her in Italy, and Miss Edith Bideau, a student of the Fine Arts school last year, will return with her this spring for two years' study.
SHE KILLED THAT
QUIZ, ALL RIGHT
And then Three Days Later She Discovered That—But Everyone Swore They Wouldn't Say a Word.
The Story of the Girl Who Wrote on the Wrong Examination Questions has just filtered out. The Girl herself pledged all who knew of the case to secrecy, but some one of them found it too interesting to keep. Here it is:
The class, which was in Presidential Administrations, open only to seniors and graduates met in the Ad. building for their quiz. The room was cold and Professor Hodder somewhat tardy, so the early arrivals beguiled the time by trying to figure out the questions they would be given. One of the boys went to the black board and as questions were suggested he wrote them down in a bold, flowing scrawl until a nice examination had been prepared.
When the professor came, he suggested that as the room was cold and prospects of obtaining heat somewhat dubious that they should enigrate to Fraser hall. The moor carried and the class moved en masse.
Soon after this point the Girl arried. She was mystified at the absence of the professor and the members of the class. But there were the questions, and knowing her duty she sat down, wrote industriously for a couple of hours, finished her paper, and leaving it on the desk went home with the consciousness of duly well done.
In two or three days the professor began inquiries regarding her examination. Explanations followed and the matter was cleared up.
But the members of the class were pledged to secrecy, all the same.
Her program tonight will consist of four groups of songs in Italian, German, French, and English, in all of which languages she is equally at home.

FOSTER BUSY ADDING NAMES TO THE 2403
