ALL K. U. DEMOCRATS SEE HODGES INAUGURAL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 13, 1913.
Headed by Chancellor Delegation Marches in Parade at Ceremony
NUMBER 71.
BAND TOOts 'LOW-TARiff' AIR
Jayhawkers Watch That Governor Takes Official Chair in True T. Jefferson Style.
Every good old Bourbon eye at K. U, was focused on George Hodges of Olathe when he takes the gubernatorial chair at Tepeka today.
The following saw Governor Hodges take the oath:
Chancellor Frank Strong, Uncle Jimmy Green, Prof. H. A. Rice, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, Chas. Dolde, Richard Hepworth, Charles Strickland, Webb Holloway, Nat Guilfoyle, George Edwards, Jacob Long, Paul Greer, Richard Gardner, Harry Gorsuch, Guy Von Schrillt, Eugene Davis, Perc Collery, Joe Howard, Clifford Sullivan, Hugh Adair, "Red" Lupton and Jerry Riesley.
Chancellor Frank Strong and Dean James Green rode in carriages in the morning parade. They were followed by a platoon of the K. U. students and faculty, the band, and the University national guard company.
With the undergraduate band puffing a "down-with-the-tariff air, the delegation of Jayhawk democrats rolled merrily out of Lawrence on the morning trains and talked about T. Jefferson over each one of the twenty-eight miles on the journey. Richard Hepworth, president of the Hodges-For-Governor club and Chas. Dolde, head of the Wilson club, led the discussions.

Editor of the Kansan: Why can't we have a chess tournament with some of our sister universities?
It seems to me to that those of us who are so fortunate as to be born without brawn enough for athletics or brass enough for debating should still have the pleasure of representing our alma mater in some way other than merely looking on. Such a meet would be practically, without cost and would furnish a room for an爱好 of people who had educated in other college paperers lately accounts of such tournaments that were highly successful. Why not Kansas? —Dawn
If there are others who hold this view and they will report at the Kansan office at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon a chess game will be organized and steps taken to prepare a tournament with any other college they desire to contest.
The City of Wichita is now making experiments and putting down test wells with a view to obtaining a better source of water supply, upon recommendations and advice given by Professor Haworth several weeks ago. As yet no satisfactory results have been reached. One test failed and another one is being put down.

THEY LL GET IT YET

Leave Something on the Campus Besides Footprints
Is it not a disgrace to the thirty-nine classes that have gone out from the University that the campus today bears hardly more evidence of their having been here than it did before they came?
So far as any marks or monuments of class or University history are concerned the campus is about as rich as a stretch of barren prairie without even a gopher mound.
Thirty-nine classes with a membership, first and last, of fifteen thousand men and women, have passed this way, but have left no trace.
A stranger visiting the campus gets no hint of their having been here.
The University has no memento of their presence, no token of their esteem.
The one noticeable class memorial on the campus is the '99 sundial—erected ten years after the class was graduated. There are a few trees and vines, but nobody knows which they are—until some vandal care-taker cuts them down and an old grad or two wake up and mildly protest.
Isn't it a condition to be ashamed of?
Are the present classes going the same way as their predecessors?
Do they know how easy it would be to establish a better tradition? If the freshmen class would begin this year by taking up a collection and putting the proceeds at interest; do the same when they are sophomores; repeat the exercise when they are juniors; and keep it up when they are seniors, they would have a fund large enough to do honor to themselves and to do a graceful and lasting service to the University. They would be remembered. Their example would be followed.
It is not too late for the present sophomores or juniors to start the custom—but the class that wishes to be first will have to hurry, because it is unbelievable that the deadly indifference of the past can last much longer.
Who wants the honor of coming out of the Dark Ages first?
STUDENTS TO SETTLE PETITION OF P. S. B
Perennial Plea of Graduate Will be Voted on Again Tomorrow
Election day comes again tomorrow. Tuesday, January 14.
Where? in chapel, of course, at 10:00 o'clock.
A special election will be held in order to amend Article 4 of the constitution of the Men's Student Council in any way refer to graduate affairs.
The article to be amended will include mention of the graduate school and when amended will probably read as follows: "The Student Council shall be composed of members chosen by the male members of the different schools from their numbers, the following schools to be represented: The College, the School of Engineering, the School of Law, the School of Medicine, the School of Pharmacy, and the Graduate School of Medicine. By one member for each one hundred students or major fraction thereof, but each school shall be entitled to at least one representative."
The amendment requires a two-
thirds vote to carry.
At present the council controls only undergraduate affairs. In order to insure control of the entire student body the council would need representation from the Graduate School.
SANITARY PROFESSOR TESTS WATER PLANTS
Grandville R. J. Jones, professor of sanitary engineering, has just returned from a trip to Lyndon, Kan., where he made a test of the new city filtering plant.

Dr. A. S. Warthin Urges Instruction of Young in Vital Problems
HOME SHOULD TEACH CHILDREN SEX FACTS
"In spite of the importance of the matter," declared Dr. Warthin, "the boy and the young man receive almost no correct instruction along this line. Custom is so strong that most parents do not explain this matter to their children and, in fact, many are not capable of property doing so.
Urging that sex problems be explained to American children in the home, Dr. A. S. Wartin delivered an illustrated address yesterday afternoon at the Bowersock on the "Young Man's Sex Problems."
The address was given under the auspices of the University Y, M, C. A., and the City Association, Chancellor Frank强 presided. A quintette composed of Rosa Beamer Victor Lombon, Ital Lutte, and Hebry Welsh sang.
In addition to the Ten Commandments a new set should be taught every child in regard to his sex life and hygienic care of the body."

READ STUDENTS' PETITION
Consideration of Difficulty in Staff too Important for Snap Judgment or Action
Feeling that the difficulty in the coaching staff of the football team required further consideration by the athletic board and the head of the department of physical education, the Board of Regents has referred the matter back for further consideration by these athletic authorities.
The petition that Coach Frank should be retained, signed by more than 500 students, was read to the Regents at their meeting Saturday. The Regents sympathize with the hope of the new year, and wish to do everything in their power to promote the interests of athletics.
"We thought that in a matter so important there could not be too much careful consideration given. Sometimes mountains dwindle into mole hills when they are looked at without the magnifying glass," said a member of the team. "We want to get the best judgment of all concerned and then we will act."
A report on the Weir City School of mines was adopted and will be sent to the Governor.

"What did you say to him and what did he say to you?" "Is he going to vote for the mill say resolution?"

It will be in the nature of an experience meeting in which the work done by students during the holidays will be summed up. The status of the projects and the appropriations will all be subjects of discussion at the meeting.
The results will be tabulated and it is expected that every county cliff officer will be ready with his report, or for the future will be considered.
SO LITTLE RICE WEEVILS
GO TO LONG, LONG REST
Indication, close confinement,
port, or to touch good time—one of
these causes killed a score of little rice weevils in the food laboratory.
These rice weevils, small insects with a long snout used in boring into the rice and digging out the kernel, were confined in a small glass jar, with about three hundred grains of rice. Prof. H. Louis Jackson used them in experiments.

TOUGH TIMES IN
RARE OLD DAYS
"Students shall not absent themselves from town without the permission of the Chancellor."
"Any student receiving ten mark for absence without a good excuse for each will cease to be a member of the University."
"Daily attendance will be required of all students of the University at chapel exercises."
It was just like this in the olden days, in the rare old days of 1868. So says the K. U. catalogue of that year.
"A record of each day's work in scholarship department, and attendance will be sent to parents and guardians of each student."
Two students, just two, was the total enrollment in the collegiate department. Fifty-three were registered in the preparatory department, six were chancellor, dean and registrar, and no arranged three or four professional chairs.
But in spite of the stern rules set forth above, old K. U. had some rare advantages. For if the undergraduate were an orphan of a soldier or one of those killed in Quantrell's raid, he was exempted from the entrance fee of ten dollars.
WEIR MINING SCHOOL ASKS FOR $200,000
Director Wolfe Plans to Increase Efficiency with New Buildings
Director Burton L. Wolfe of the School of Mines, at Weir, according to the Pittsburg Headlight, will ask the legislature for $200,000 for buildings and support. Mr. Wolfe is preparing a report, which will be exhaustive in every detail.
In it, among other thinks he will show the cost per capita to the state of the students now enrolled, and he will explain why it is so high. Mr. Wolfe attributes the high cost per capita, to the late start of the school.
It is proposed to use the $200,000 asked as following: for a main building, $75,000; power house, $33,750; maintenance for two years, $72,905. Various kinds of practical courses are planned which will be of practical benefit to the community, which is populated chiefly by miners. The courses will be given to individuals as opposed to large classes, and will extend over eight or twelve weeks of hard work.
AND NOW COMES ANOTHER
PLAN TO FLOOD POTTER
"I think that the flooding of Potter lake for skating purposes is feasible," said Prof. P. F. Walker of the Engineering school this morning The way to do would be to cut a few holes in the ice and then turn the water in at night, allowing it to melt the snow now covering the surface. This would make the lake rough, but by turning more water in the next night the ice would be as smooth as glass."
Old Grad to Legislature.
Perl D. Decker, '99, of Joplin, Mo., was elected from the fifteenth district to the Missouri legislature. Mr. Decker, representing Missouri, won the interstate oratorial contest in 1897. Ten states competed.
