Ball, Norman Ramsey, John M. Craig, Walne Drydale, and Ralph Levitt are leutenants. Other 20th Kansas men now prominent in private life are W. J. Watson, postmaster at Pittsburgh, Kansas, Gus聪明, deceased, Hoke Simpson, now teaching in the Philippine, Kansas, Kansas, Arthur Jackson, John King, Nat Foster, an old K. U. football man, Volney T. Boaz, now practicing medicine in Girard, Kans, DeVere Rafter, and John Steele.

A Kappa Visitor.
Mrs. Paul Walker of Topeka is visiting at the Kappa house. Mrs. Walker will be well remembered here as Miss Helen Morrow, a former student.
One of the soldiers on leaving shook hands with the Chancellor and said "I think I would have been a bettor." I was wrong of the University before I enlisted.
High schools throughout the state have recently been sending in a large number of requests for the use of the lantern slides which the Extension department has prepared for their use. These slides illustrate several of the subjects taught in high school and are sent free of charge to any of the high schools in the state.
Most of these men had never seen a university before and were much impressed with their short visit to the buildings and over the campus.

UNIVERSITY EXTENDS SCOPE OF STUDENTS
A New Ruling Permits Class Visitors But No Credit Is Given
At the first meeting of the University Council, held yesterday afternoon in Blake hall, a committee, headed by Prof. Carl Becker, chairman, submitted a report and recommendation concerning visitors in University classes which was adopted.
According to the recommendations adopted, any student may visit other classes he is not enrolled in by obtaining the consent of the instructor, the dean, and the head of the department affected. However, credit in the University cannot be obtained in such classes visited, nor examination for credit taken over work held in the class visited.
Outside visitors will be allowed to visit University classes with the consent of the instructor and the dean, after paying the regular matriculation fee. Students must be given for such courses visited or examinations for credit permitted.
The new ruling as adopted is meant to obviate former irritation and friction caused by promiscuous visiting, and will lay down a course through which outsiders will be able to visit University classes, and without inconveniencing anyone get the benefit of regular instruction.
