ANNUAL MANAGER TO HAVE SALARY?
-BUT NOT THE TIGHTWAD
Student Council Will Discuss The Problem at Meeting Tonight
1912 JAYWKWAER LOST $500
To Obviate Difficulty the Committee in Charge Probably Will Recommend That Manager be Paid
Whether the senior annual shall be managed this year by a salaried manager, as in former years, is the big question to be decided at tonight's meeting of the Student Council, when the report of a committee appointed last spring to study the problem will be made and considered.
According to President C. M. Coats, it is highly probable that the committee, consisting of Milton Minor, Allen Wilbur and Charles Strickland, will report in favor of paying the manager of the annual a fixed salary, thus cutting out the honor system which resulted in a deficit of over $500 in presenting the 1912 Jayhawker to the students.
Send the Daily Kansan Home.
The council will continue in session until the question is definitely settled. If a salaried manager is decided upon the proposition will be submitted to the senior class at once and the manager will be elected in the general election of class officers to be held October 1. Sentiment seems to be almost entirely in favor of going back to former methods of managing the annual in spite of the common preference for the "honor system" in such matters.
The two vacancies in the student council left by the failure of Hill and LaCoss to return to school will be filled by election of the Council itself in about three weeks.
All the work will be under the personal supervision of Professor Edward Hubach who will make the selection of the men who will form the club.
Only four of the men who sang with the club last year returned to school this fall and work on the new club must be commenced at once. The old men will try-out with the new aspirants tomorrow evening, in order to obtain their places.
GLEEMEN TO TRY OUT
AND THE JANITORS
First Meeting for Places to be Held in Fraser Hall Tonight
The first try-out for the glee clue will be held in Chapel tonight at sev.
There are places open for three first tenors, three second bases. The pianists are expected to attend this try-cut also.
Manager Campbell wants every man in the University who has ever had any experience in singing to try to make this club, for few of the old men are back in school this year and must be maintained.

Y. W. C. A. WILL HOLD MEETING WEDNESDAY

The Topeka K. U. alumni association are winning for the University of Kansas along other lines as well. They have organized a series of luncheons which are given once every month, these are among their students' University meet and devise plans to help boost the school. The luncheons are held in the Commercial Club rooms and are well attended.

COMES NOW SHAKSPERE'S SECOND AGE TO JOIN US
Had William Shakespeare, Shakespeare or Shakepee climbed mount Oread this morning, he would have found among the crowds of undergraduates speeding to their classes as representative of most of his seven acres.
Last week there enrolled with us a student of the tender age of 74, while today appears a freshman who has not yet forsaken knickerbockers.
The possessor of the hill's first pair of knee trousers since our honored faculty ceased using them on the golf links is modest about his abbreviated bifurcated apparel and is in no way stuck up over the unique distinction. His name is Henry
SHH! HERE'S A SECRET A NEW KANSAN STAFF
Phi Delta Theta Publishes Portion of Minutes of Meeting Last Night
It isn't often that one of the national Greek letter secret societies gives out any of the minutes of its weekly meetings.
"I was eleven when I entered high school," he said, when asked about his age, "and passed my sixteenth birthday last month. Yes, I got long pretty well in grade school as skipped two grades and took third year. After finishing in the college I am going to take up medicine."
The Kansas chapter of Phi Delta Theta this morning established a precedent when it sent the following email: [email_address] - session last night for publication:
And with two ends of his span in sight, William would not have had much ado to pick out the rest.
"Resolved—That it be the sense of this meeting that every active member and pledge of this fraternity subscribe to the "Daily Kansan"."

FORMER STUDENTS
HEED CUPID'S SONG
Mr. Wesley Wineinger and Miss Clara Anderson, both students in the School of Medicine last year, were married in Garland, Kansas last week. Mr. and Mrs. Wineinger have decided to quit the study of medicine and will try farming.
A FRESHMAN GIRL TO BE AN ENGINEER
Marion Manley Has Enrolled as a Regular Student in
Engineering
Miss Marion Manley, last year a freshman in the College, entered the engineering school this week and will levitate her whole time to regular freshman engineering work along with several hundred other entering engineers.
"I shall take a year of elementary work here to get the hang of things," Miss Manley said today, "but expect to enter the University of Illinois next year where I shall specialize in architectural work. I have eno fear of being unable to do the work and rather expect to enjoy it."
Miss Manly will carry the regular freshman work, consisting of almost half mathematics, rhetoric, language, and mechanical drawing, and will even take all shop work required of engineers, consisting of blacksmithing and forging first term, and wood turning and pattern making second term. The course will be easy one, but Miss Manley will take it all.
Miss Manley's case is almost unique in the history of the school. One girl before her is known to have taken such work, including shop, later filling a good position very acceptably with an engineering firm in Kansas City.
Kappa Sig Pledges.
Kappa Sigma announces the following pledges: Jack D. Kennedy, Kansas City, Kans; Tom Multon, Joe Ryan, Lincoln, Kans; Albert Newman, Coffeyville, Kans; Ralph Berry, Dan Campbell, Tulsa, Kans; Oblert Ebart Hastings, Olathe, Kans; and Arthur Hoffman, Enterprise, Kans.

Millard Shaler Returns
Millard Shaler, B. S.'04, from the University has returned from Africa, where he has been for more than two years in the government engineering service, and is visiting here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shaler. Mr. Shaler has decided not to return to Africa but has not yet decided where he will locate.
Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained with a one o'clock luncheon Saturday at the home of Miss Mary Johnston. The luncheon was served from quartet tables which were effectively decorated in flower baskets. The rooms were lighted throughout by pink and white candelabra. Those assisting were May Schal, Margaret Finch, and Alice Guenther, of Lawrence.
A temperature and humidity control plant, the only one of its kind in America, is being installed by Prof. S. J. Hunter in the entomology department. This plant is to be used by the students to study the effects of different temperatures and humidities upon insect life.
ENROLLMENT REACHES A HIGH WATER MARK
Figures Compiled by Registrar Foster Indicter a Big Gain
REGISTRATION NOW IS 1984
Day Reach 2700, Foster Thinks— Good Crops and Prosperity Reasons For the Big Increase
sons For the Big Increase
"We ought to have between 2600 and 2700 students, here this year, within all reason," said Registrar Foster this noon. "If Kansas had the population of Missouri, and the same per cent of her population came to the University as now do, we would beyond doubt have 5000 students here this year."
Here are the figures up to noon today:
College: Freshmen, 430; sophomores, 242; juniors, 220; seniors, 194; special, 63. Total 1148.
Engineering 123; sophomore, 86;
 junior, 88; senior, 68; special, 8.
Sophomore, 79.
Law:  Senior, 52; middle, 71; junior,
40; special. 7, Total 170.
Fine Arts: Freshmen, 28; sopho-
mores, 16; juniors, 27; seniors, 15;
special, 38. Total, 124.
Pharmacy: 3rd year, 20; 2nd year,
16; 1st year, 50. Total 86.
Scattering, not classified, 12.
Medicine at Rosseed, 15.
Music at Rosedale, 16.
Grand total now enrolled. 1984.
"Here is the way I figure it this year," said Registrar Foster. "Last year we increased 40 in a bad year; this year we should have a normal increase of 150 because of good crops, etc. We had something like 475 summer school students last summer; we figure that one-third of those are duplicated, so figure about 300 for last summer. We now, at this moment, have 339 more students than we had this day last year; over 300 new students enrolled at the beginning of the second semester last year, and while we should exceed that this year, 300 is a conservative basis on which to estimate. Here's the total estimate:"
College, 1149, Law, 170, Engineering,
373, Fine Arts, 124, Scattering,
12, Medicine, 15, Graduate School,
55, Normal increase, 150, Pharmacy,
86, Second semester last year, 300,
Summer school, 300. Total with no
a normal increase in semester figures and a normal increase of 150.
"And everybody knows," Registrar Foster added, "that there are dozens of students running around the campus today who haven't even enrolled."
Cooley Club Will Meet.
The Cooley Club, composed of members of the law school, will hold its first meeting of the year on Friday night, in room six of Green hall. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected, and the cases of Teddy vs. Taft; and Wilson vs. Clark, et al., will be argued, all decisions subject to popular recall.
More Handbooks Coming.
Roy Stockwell, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., reports this morning that the second shipment of hand books has not yet arrived. The books were expected this morning but failed to appear. The requests are numerous and Stockwell hopes to be able to satisfy them tomorrow.
