FLINT AND BECHTOLD OUT FOR 1914 ANNUAL
Junior "Liberal" Ticket Launches Candidates for Next Year's Jayhawker
The first move for the offices of manager and editor of the 1914 Jaya-hawker was taken yesterday afternoon, when, at a caucus held in Myers hall, the junior "Liberal Ticket" was put up, nominating Herbert Flint for editor, and Edmund C. Bechtold for business manager.
The caucus yesterday was well attended, the expression of the entire meeting being in favor of nominating only candidates who have had some experience in the work required of them on the Annual.
Bechtold has had considerable experience in printing work, being at one time assistant manager of a printing firm in Kansas City. Flint is at present circulation manager of the print office and a member of the Kanasan board.
No Physiology I at 10:15.
The 10:15 section of Physiology I for the afternoon sections are from 1:30 to 3:30 and from 2:30 to 4:30.
No Physiology I at 10:15.
The election, which is to be held the 18th of this month, will enable the successful candidates to work in connection with this year's annual, thus getting valuable experience before undertaking next year's annual. Under the same ruling of the Student Council, the manager will receive a salary of $200 and the editor $100.
HARVEY CO. JAYHAWKERS
TO HEAR CORLY VIRROLD
So far the "Liberal" ticket is the only one in the field, but it is generally understood that Alfred Waddell, assistant in the librarian position of editor, no other candidate for manager his yet announced himself.
When Orville Harrold, the Newton tenor, appears in Bowersock theater Thursday night he will probably sing to a line party made up of the members of the Harvey county K. U. club, if present plans go through. Harrold is a former Newton boy, having taken his first lessons in music from a local Newton teacher. As a boy he took prominent parts in all the town musical affairs. The Harvey county club will bask in the glory he has brought to Newton and attend his recital in full force.
F. R. Feltsham, a graduate of the School of Engineering in the class of 1905, visited the University Sunday and yesterday. He is engaged in the office furniture business in Los Angeles.
GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUES
We have no great love for the Regents of the University. They took the football game away from Kansas City, and they made us stop smoking on the campus. But a devil of a Board of Regents ought to have his due and we're going to sit for a little while in this popular game of substituting a single board for the regents of the state's three educational institutions.
It is urged principally that the regents are figure-heads, that they spend no time looking after the University and know little or nothing of what is going on there. As a cub we've sat in the outer office waiting through the watches of the night for the regents to get through and give us the minutes for the paper. Through the opening and closing door we could hear "better fire-escapes for Fraser," "degree for John Jones," "Try to get him for $2,200," "send an engineer to Gt. Bend," "change classroom policy," and many other like expressions. Then when we remember a glimpse of the 60 pages of typewritten minutes, all conspired to make us believe that the figure-head story was a canard.
So we looked up the record of board meetings for the past two years. There thirty-six regular sessions, with always five and six members present and in the majority of cases, seven. In all, the board gave the University 179 days of 8 hours each last year. Nor does this include special committee meetings, or inspection of fishery, hospital, etc. Nor does it include 60 days of close application which William Allen White gave the state in preparing a report on Higher Educational Efficiency. Nor a like amount by Scott Hopkins, no doubt, on Co-ordination and Rodney Elwaard on his maintenance report.
The eighteen regents of the University, State Agricultural College and Normal are easily $10,000 a year men. You couldn't hire them for that if you tried. If the regents of the other institutions work as hard as the regents of the University, whose records we investigated, these eighteen citizens donated to the state of Kansas last year something like $28,000 in cold cash.
And there are those who would throw this service of love into the discard, and replace it with three $2,500 a year man!
E. R. WEIDLINE TO MAKE
A TOUR OF INSPECTION
RALPH SHERWIN TAKES
SQUINT AT OLD HILL
E. R. Weidline, of the department of Industrial Chemistry, is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, inspecting the work of the industrial fellowships there which are under the supervision of Prof. R. K. Duncan. He will go to Washington, D. C., before returning to Lawrence and investigate the work done in the government laboratories.
Mr. Sherwin after one year of coaching accepted a position with one of the largest insurance companies in Massachusetts. He is a graduate of Dartmouth.
Ralph Sherwin, former football mentor of the Jayhawkers is on the hill today and tomorrow visiting friends. He is on his way to Fort Scott, Kansas.
Let us return. Bill, alias William, Norris has been sporting one of the embryo mustachaes to the bushman movement started. Sunday night while their victim was asleep, dreaming, mayha, of stubble fields and shrubbery, three villains snuck upon him as he slept and—horrors of horrors—gave his upper lip a green soaking in hydrogen peroxide.
WHEN BILL AWOKE THE BLEACHERS WENT WILD
not be shocked when they look into the Jayhawker. But that is another story, as Rudvard would tell us.
The copious libation turned the cherished adornment not merely blond, but white—illy white.
This is a tale of how the bleachers made a grandstand play. The only thing that matters is the music.
It will be remembered that some time ago a portion of the senior law class declared that, by the seven knots in the pork barrel, it would not shave its upper lip until after Quiz Week. Since that date all shades of mustaches have blossomed into view—or nearly so. Some are bay, some are sorrel, and some are chestnut brown.
There is one less mustache in the senior law class.
Con Squires has been compelled to do some vigorous retouching in order to cover up the incipient jungles on the faces of the aforesaid senior laws. The folks down home must
Ye sinners who should by chance pass the quizzes that are shoved in your way, heed this warning.
College enrollment begins Monday morning, Feb. 10th, at 8 o'clock in the gymnasium. College, Fine Arts, and School of Education students will be enrolled here. Arrangements have been made to take care of their class work. The Advisory and assignment committees will be on the lower flower.
As students come into the building, they will go upstairs to await their turn to enroll. Lines will be formed in order to facilitate the enrollment. The marshal's committee and their assistants will direct the formation of the lines. Seniors will line up in the west end of the gallery and the junions in the east half, all others will remain on the main floor. Seats will be provided for all.
For freshmen, it is important that they know names of their advisors. Tickets will be issued to them by the marshals.
ENROLLMENT BEGINS ON MONDAY MORNING
Enrollment will continue all day without any noon intermission, so that everyone will be able to enroll sometime during the day.
College, Fine Arts and Engineering Students Will Register in Gym.
Dr. Alexis Carrel, who won the Nobel prize of $40,000 in 1912 for the greatest service to humanity along the lines of medical science, has for his chief associate in his research work a Kansas University graduate, Montrose Burrows.
Professor and Mrs. E. H. S. Bailey celebrated yesterday the opening of the last half of the professor's thirtieth year as a member of the faculty of the University, by a dinner given to the faculty and fellows of the department of chemistry with Chancellor and Mrs. Strong as guests of honor.
In a short after dinner speech the professor commented on the growth of the University. "When I first came here," he said, "the entire faculty of the institution was not much larger than the number present at this table. Why, we all used to climb on two wagons and go out to the river on picnics in those days."
PROF. BAILEY CELEBRATES
THIRTY YEARS OF WORK
Mr. Burrows graduated from the College in 1905 and for the past three years has been working with Dr. Carrel.
DR. CARRELL TO K. U. FOR HIS RIGHT HAND MAN
SUGGEST DR. STRONG AS ROCKEFELLER TRUSTEE
Chancellor May Be Named as Member of $100,000,000 Foundation
3 WESTERNERS CONSIDERED
Kansas, California, and Wisconsin Heads Would Counteract Eastern Conservatism, it is Believed
The name of Chancellor Frank Strong is being considered as a trustee of the $100,000,000 Rockefeller foundation.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican in an editorial last week suggested that the presidents of Kansas, California and Wisconsin state universities should be added to the list of trustees to counteract the conservatism of the presidents of the eastern universities already named as members of the board of trustees.
According to the bill now before Congress the election of members of the board is subject to a veto by the president of the United States, the Chief Justice, the speaker of the House of Representatives and the presidents of Harvard, Columbia, Cornell and Chicago universities.
The foundation consists of $100,-000,000 in securities, the interest of which shall be used for the betterment of American social conditions. It was made last spring by John D. Rockefeller and since it is in the nature of a trust its formation and charter will require the approval of Congress.
BOOK EXCHANGE READY
W. S. G. A. Will Buy Second
Hand Books Tomorrow
To Rent Out
Only books that will be used next term will be bought, at prices varying with their condition. Translation is written from interlining, is the announcement.
The W. S. G. A. book exchange will open up for business Wednesday morning in the check stand of Fraser hall, when second hand books that be used next term will be bought to the new W. S. G. A. girls to rent out to needy students.
The stand will continue the rest of this week. The books so bought will be rented out to students at one half of their value. At the end of the semester one half of this rent will be refunded, making the total cost of the book to the student who does not care to buy a text only one fourth of what he would otherwise pay.
Students desiring to sell second hand books can tell from the courses offered next semester what books will be salable.
