TEAM WILL CHOOSE NEXT YEAR'S LEADER Weidlein and Burnham Are Probable Candidates For Captaincy of Squad At a banquet at the Eldridge house tonight for the 1912 football team, the captain for next year's team will be chosen. This banquet is an annual affair, and is given under the auspices of the Athletic Association. As far as can be ascertained only two candidates are out for the captaincy. Both of the men are tackles, and both were picked for the mythic All-Misouri-Valley team. Weidline and Burnham have each one more season to play for the Crimson and Blue. Both men are expected to return to school next fall to help round out an "All-Victorious team." Burnham has played two seasons, and has been a great power in the line. His defensive playing can not be questioned, and he has given the best that he can to do, at all times. He has done much of the punting for this year's team. Weidline, the mate of Burnham, is one of the best tackles that has represented K. U. in recent years. He is a sure tackler, and his place kicking added many points to K. U's. score this year. WICHITA IS NOT THE ONLY TOWN NEEDING HIS HELP. Prof. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of Mining Engineering and state geologist, left last night for Wichita, where he will confer with Water Commissioner Campbell, on the question of a better source of water supply for Wichita. Prof. Haworth has been working with the Wichita water problem for almost a year, and has had it very well in hand. He says he thinks he can get the city some very good water. One of the things that many Kansas cities lack, is a good water supply, and the improving of this condition id one of the most important questions with which the State Work Department of the University has to deal COPYRIGHT QUESTION BOBS UP ONCE AGAIN Cruel Hearted Manager Demands More Money from Masque Club After more than six weeks of rehearsing "The Boy's of Company B," after setting dates for the production of the play, and after arranging for the costumes and scenery the Masque Club may have to give up this play, choose another and have it ready for production by next Tuesday. This is due to a misunderstanding in regard to the royalty on "The Boys of Company B," between Manager Cain and Jules Murrum of New York City, who owns the copyright to the play, and understood that the royalty was to be $100. Now comes William B. Wright of Kansas City, who represents Jules Murray, and says that due to the fact that this will be the first time "The Boys of Company B" has ever been produced by amateurs, the royalty will have to be $150. He threats to take the prize provided by Masque Club from staging this play next Tuesday and Wednesday if the $150 is not paid. FIRST BAND CONCERT WILL SPRING CLASSICAL TUNES "We are going to stage 'The Boys of Company B,' declare Manager Cain, and we are not going to pay more than $100 royalty on it. Never before has any amateur performance at the University paid over $25 royalty. We can not afford to pay more than $100 because we have already gone to a theater to play the effervescent for the play, and unless someone serves papers on us, 'The Boys of Company B' will be produced at the Bowersock." **PEER GYNT** and a Tuba Solo to Shake foam in Gym Decrease foam, 16.

Marble, recently appointed to succeed William Allen White as Regent of the University, will not accept the position. Mr. Marble reached his decision because he believed that his lack of familiarity with University affairs would make him of little service to the school. In a letter to the Daily Kansan, Mr. Marble states that he regrets exceedingly that he must decline the honor, but is confident that some other man would prove more valuable as a member of the Board of Revents. "I have a very warm interest in the University," he writes, "and in the development of the young men and women who are students there, but I feel that there are others who would be capable of rendering a much higher service than I could possibly render on the board, who would feel as highly honored as I feel in being proffered the position. Mr. Marble, who is the editor-pro proprietor of the Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor, was appointed following the resignation of Regent White. Governor Stubbs has not announced who will be named to fill the vacancy. "I made up my mind to decline the appointment on the Board of Regents because of my lack of familiarity with the University work, and my apprehension that I could be of little or no service on the Board." STUDENTS MAKE PUBLIC INVESTIGATION RESULTS The students and fellows of the Department of Physiology, who were conducting special investigations of physiological problems under the direction of Dr. Ida H. Hyde, last year, now have their researches ready for publication. Articles to appear in the leading English and American journals of science. DEAN MARVIN, of the School of Engineering Those whose articles are ready for publication are: Ivan Burket, last year's fellow in physiology at Harvard; Chas. M. Greuber, fellow in physiology at Harvard, for 1912; Dr. Faulkner, fellow in economies at the University of Chicago; Ruth Spray, fellow in physiology at Bryn Maur; Grace Russell, fellow in home economics at the University of Chicago; Howard Crawford, fellow in economics at the University of Kansas; Wilbur Beauchamp, a senior at Manhhattan; Irna Goldman, a senior in the College; Miss Leota Shuck, a special in the College; and Mr. B. C. Root of the department of physical education. Miners Will Show Pictures. Soon after the holidays, the department of Mining Engineering will present a moving picture film showing the manufacture of iron from the mine to the foundry. All engineers and others who are interested will be invited to be present. The hour and place will be announced later. Miss Lois Delley, of Falls City, Nebraska, spent the week-end at the Kappa House. who returned to the campus Saturday from Michigan, where he has been for his health. DEAN JOHNSTON. of the School of Education. whose book, "High School Education," is to be translated into the Japanese by an eastern publisher. CO-ED AND STUDENT SLIP OFF AND ARE TIED FOR LIFE NOW Sophomore in College and Junior Engineer, Married in Kansas City, Will Continue College Education. Miss Ethel Melvilde of Pittsburg, a sophomore in the college, and Clarence S. Clarke of Joplin, Missouri, a junior engineer, sprang a surprise on their friends Friday by sliding off to Kansas City and getting married. The marriage is the culmination of an acquaintance which began during the present school year. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clarke say that they do not intend to let such a trifling circumstance as a wedding interfere with their respective educations, but they are ready to go on through school. They are now at home at 1825 Kentucky street. WILL DO ENROLLING NOW IN SINGLE DAY System Similar to That Illinois in Effect Next Semester "Less complication and more speed," the slogan of the administration in adopting a new system of enrollment at the opening of the second semester. "By the new system we will be enabled to do the entire work of enrolling on the first day of the semester," said Mrs. C. E. Esterly, secretary to Dean Templin, this morning. "The system resembles the one in use at the university where most students schools where upwards of four thousand students are enrolled in two days." Under the proposed plan instructors will bear a much more important part in the work of enrolling students than heretofore, and will have a chance to know the applicant's qualifications for course he desires to pursue under them. The student will first make out a list of the courses he wishes to take, together with the hour at which he wishes them to come. This he will present to his adviser for approval. After the adviser's signature is affixed, he will take the card to a long table at the south end of the gym, where the instructors of the departments will be seated in the order that their courses appear on the schedule. The instructor will guide him in each course by the instructor under whom he is to have the subjects. The instructor will thus have a chance to know who is enrolling under him, and to make objections to the student's entering the class if he knows him to be unfit for the work, instead of being able to wait until he has enclosed them and then to have him dump the course, as is the case under the present system. UNIVERSITY TO HELP CITY. That The University will help Lawrence get Commission Government, was shown by the large attendance of the faculty members at a mass meeting held last night in Central High School. It was the first time an adoption of Commission Government. Speeches were made by D. J. Brady, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, Prof. R. R. Price, Rev. Stauffer, Prof. F. Walker, Henry Albach. Supt, F. P. Smith acted as chairman meeting, and Prof. John H. Van damerow A resolution was passed to work in favor of Commission Government. Prof. R. R. Price was appointed chairman of the commission, so that an election might be held soon. WELL, AFTER ALL, WHO ENJOYED BEING A CAMEL Pure water from the four Fraser Hall cisterns will be placed tomorrow in coolers in all University buildings for drinking purposes. The HtwoO has been analyzed by University experts, and the data are freely free from all dangerous biotics. On account of a state law, which prohibits the public drinking cup, students who wish to imbibe must carry their own gobbles. Send the Daily Kansan home. Miss Renata Garst, who has been visiting Hazel Butts at the Pi Phi house, returned to her home in Wichita today. STUDENTS VOTE FOR EXPOSITION SCHEME Adopt Plau for Holding Miniature World's Fair By flanimous Vote WEEDE ELECTED PRESIDENT Bodman and Wingart Chosen as Other mittees to be Named Soon. By a unanimous vote, the student body of the University voted to have a University Exposition, when the Chancellor put the question before the school this morning at a special mass meeting held in chapel. Following the acceptance of the plan President Coats took charge of the meeting, and officers of the Exposition were elected as follows: President, Orlin E. Weed; Vice-president, Russel Bodman; Secretary-treasurer, Wawrey Wineart In his introductory speech Chancellor Strong gave several reasons why we should have the Exposition. "The Exposition will enable departments and students to get into closer touch with one another, with great help to explain what they are thinking, what the other fellow's work is about." In addition, the Chancellor pointed out the fact that Manhattan has a bank, and that Wisconsin has had a very successful Exposition on the same plan. "A greater reason why we should have an Exposition is that many people are inclined to think we here at the University are not practical—that we teach only theory. I believe an Exposition such as the one beimg planned will dispel that idea from the minds of the people of the state." In order to give double value to the Exposition and enable as many people as possible to attend it, an effort will be made to have the annual May Fete, High School Day, Parents' Day, and High School all held at the same time. THIRTEEN K'S GRANTED Board Gives Smaller Numder of Sweaters This Year Than Last At a meeting of the Athletic Board *a*esterday afternoon in Fraser Hall, thirteen men were awarded the variety B. Brownlee, Burnham, Tudor, B. Brownlee, Groft, Weldline, Price, Wilson, Detwiler, Coolidge, McGuire, and Parker. This is the smallest number of "Ks" that have been granted in a number of seasons. The reason for this is that the conference rules in regard to the granting of letters were changed last year. Every man who received a letter had to play five quarters, and three of these must be in a conference game. PROFS RING BULLSEYES JUST LIKE STUDENTS DO. Some of our professors have become excellent marksmans with the rider by means of the recently formed club for the Masonic gymnasium, regularly in the Robinson Gymnasium. The membership of the club has been rapidly increasing in the two weeks of its existence and now numbers fifty, including many students of the University. The club has been divided into six divisions, one practicing each week from 7:00 to 9:00 and on Saturday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 o'clock. Many of the students have already been shooting in prize form, making a score of 80 standing. The club is increasing in popularity since the purchase of a new rifle, and good work is expected from the men from now on. Oreads Will Have Student Council Oread High School adopted a constitution modified after that of the University last Friday morning at a meeting of the student body. The constitution is a step in the advancement of the school. A significant feature of the constitution was an article which provided for the organization of a student council which shall have power over the student body at all times.
