Aggies Meet Kansas
On McCook Diamond
Monday And Tuesday
Each Nine Has Won Game in First Series of the Season.
May Decide Championship
Ames, Kansas and Aggies are Only Valley Schools Playing Baseball
The Argie baseball team will come to Lawrence next week to play a return series of two games Monday and Tuesday. The K.U. nine divided the two games at Manhattan Monday and Tuesday, the Argies taking the first 1 to 2, and K.U. getting the second 2 to 1.
These games will be a deciding factor in the Valley championship race. If K.U. or the Aggies take both of the games, they will have three valley games to their credit and one lost. For the other two with Ames, the other contender for the Valley championship in this division.
KU. has one more game not in the Valley Conference, with William Jewell on McCook Field May 31, and two with wittles at Ames June 5 and 6. Bond has had good material for his team this year and it has done some good ball playing, in spite of the lack of support by the students.
The ability of the team to keep cool in a pinch, and hold together when things are going against them, as evidenced in the second Aggie game, in the way in which the Kansas team got itself out of several holes with Aggie men on bases, showed the real championship caliber of the team.
The team plays brainy baseball. Especially is this so in the pitching, as neither Murray nor Brennan can get many strikeouts, but by handing the ball so as to keep the batter from hitting safely, and doing the unexpected thing in the time when their opponents put a well, not many scores, get them.
Kansas Track Team Runs Against Aggies Here This Afternoon
NUMBER 145
K. U. Men Who Were Out of Condition Early in Week May Start
KU. meets the Aggie team this afternoon on McCook in their annual dual track meet. The meet was postponed to April 19. The meeting which soaked McCook Field.

The first two men to finish are counted in the dual meet, but in the triangular meet, three places are counted, with score of five, three and
Haddock is expected to recover from his ailment sufficiently to enter in the dashes and weight events, but Manager Hamilton does not expect very much from him, counting mostly on Deewail, in the mile, Eckel in the two-mile race in the Dewalt quarter, and the Kansas relay team to clean up enough firsts and the rest of the squand seconds to win the meet.

Zoology Club Meets
Changes Made in Grades Required for Degrees
After September, 1919, Ninet hours of A's and B's Necessary for Graduation
The following changes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which apply to students obtaining de-grees and to final grades, have been made and approved by the Administrative Board.
Rule 47. Final Grades. All final grades are reported to the Registrar as A, B, C, D, I or F. All grades I and F must also be reported to the dean immediately after final examination is held. Grade I is used to indicate that the student's work has been of passing grade but is not yet complete. Grade II is used if the student has failed in the course. A failure may be removed only by reenrollment in the course. Grade A is to be reserved for work of marked excellence indicating high honor. Grade B should represent very good work of much more than average quality. Grade C should indicate that the work has been of good average character, better than that which deserves the grade G. Grade D represents work of the lowest quality which will enable the student to pursue the next dependent course, whether in the same department or in a related department. A student who fails to appear for final examination is graded I or F, according as his class standing has been of passing grade or below passing grade. A grade I may be removed by special examination, but unless properly approved, it will not be assigned. The same semester of the following year it becomes a failure and the student must re-enroll in the course.
Rule 52. Proportion of high grades required for degree. In order to be accepted as a candidate for the bachelor's degree, a student must have received a grade of A, B, or (1 or 2) in at least 90 of the 120 hours required for the A,B degree or of the degree equivalent. Students graduating before September 1, 1918, shall be required to have a grade of A, B, C (1 or 2) in 80 hours, and students graduating after September 1, 1918, and before September 1, 1919, shall be required to have a grade of A, B, C (1 or 2) in 85 hours. Any student admitted to advanced standing will be accepted as a candidate for the degree provided that his record meets national conformity for foregoing regulation and provided that he receives A, B, C (1 or 2) on three-fourths of the work which he has done in residence at the University of Kansas.
Students to Taste Joys of Old Home Town
University students, homesick for the lots delights of their old home rural communities and urban Hillites, minging for a taste of rustic pleasures, are given opportunity to satisfy their desire. At the Local C. E. Union Saturday night, According to reports, this is to be a real old-fashioned evening with an honest-to-goodness' cake walk, shadow sale, and other appropriate attractions. In addition, a good pro-
spective music by local entertainers will be given.
"The girls needn't take a lot of time to doll up their boxes on the outside," said the chairman of the committee in charge, "just so there's room for them." The fellows won't look at anything but the shadows during the auctioning, anyway. And another thing," he continued, "no need fear be afraid of being stuck five dollars for his best girl's box like he would back home, for we are going to set a limit on the auctioneer. J. R. Holmes will be auctioneer.
The affair will be given at the Christian Church, Saturday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. The proceeds are to be used to help defray expenses of the state convention to be held in Lawrence in June.
Dr. B. M. Allen, head of the department of zoology at the University of Kansas will be one of the faculty at the Patug Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor, Washington and it will be part of the University of Washington and it has a number of prominent scientists of the country on its faculty.
B. M. Allen Will Teach
Zoology in Washington
“Arrangements are being made for a party of students to go and take work during the summer,” said Dr. Allen today. “College credit will be given for both undergraduate work and for graduate work. A number of students are interested in this course and we are anxious for more of the students to become interested. Class work begins June 16 and the course continues six weeks.”
Women Chosen to Serve in Co-operative House
Student and Faculty Woman's Organizations Contribute Money for Furnishings
The Co-operative House will be located at 1127 Ohio Street next year and will accommodate from twelve to fourteen women and a chaperon, according to a report of the Roaming House Committee today. Women who are entirely or partly self supporting have been given the preference in selecting the occupants. Women who are not required to have applied for places in the house and enough have been chosen for next year.
More than half the money to finance the house has been given by the women of the University. The Woman's Student Government Association pledged $400 and the Woman's Panhellenic $500. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the University Woman's Association and other organizations have undertaken to raise the amount needed of the funds necessary. The amount needed to start the house will be $1700.
Prof John Ise of the department of economics, owns the house and will turn the house over to the University House Committee by August 1. The furnishings will be selected by a committee composed of Miss Hazel Mement, Mrs. Harriet Merckle, Miss Harriet Gleissering of the Music School and Miss Alberta Corbin. The house committee consists of one representative from the W.S.G.A.; one from the Women's Pan-hellenic and the Rooming House Committee. The meeting committee is composed of Miss Sarah G. Laird and Miss Charles.
New Gas Engine Made By Prof. George Hood
Inventor of Autographic Kodak Device May Patent "University Engine"
A small gas engine of entirely new design which has no ignition system and which will develop from one-half to one horse power, has been invented by Prof. George J. Hood of the School of Engineering.
"No engine in the world is like Professor Hood's" said Prof. F. L. Sibley, head of the department of mechanical engineering. "It is of a type midway between the ordinary gas engine and the Diesel engine which burns heavy fuel oil. If tests prove the new engine design requires more labor than the shops have and marketed at the University of Kansas engine, selling for $25 to $50."
As there are no batteries or spark plugs the construction is simple and there are no movable parts. Commercial cars have a drive shaft, the charge as in a Diesel engine. In pumping up a tire probably everyone has noticed how hot the pump becomes from compressed air, this principle is used in Professor Hood's invention of the fuel cell, the engine in motion after which combustion will be automatic.
Convenience and simplicity of operation, because there would be no notification troubles, and low cost of manufacture and maintenance, are advantages of the new engine. It will develop sufficient power to operate a washing machine, feed mill, or other small machine.
The autorificatic device used by the Eastman Kodak company was invented by Professor Hood. Among his other patents is a fireless cooker of unique construction. A factory was equipped in Lawrence a few years ago to manufacture these cookers but war conditions made it impossible to operate them. The Professor Hood's home in University Heights has been called a mechanical marvel because of the many devices which he has installed.
A working model will be constructed in the shops by mechanical engineering students this summer or next fall. Professor Hood has not decided whether or not he will apply for patents.
Prof. Johnson Urges Men to Apply as Teachers
"I would like to see some men apply for teaching positions." Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education said this morning. "In fact, I don't know what we shall do unless men apply."
"Although the women are slow in "coming in we are getting quite a num- buster of students," instructors now is in Mathematics for women and physics and chemistry instructors for men. Administrative officers are also in demand, for men. In the gym, it is impossible to run a school without it men in the administrative offices.

Plain Tales From the Hill
A CURRENT TOPIC
What we may expect when the heroine appears：“Oh, ain't Electra cute！”
The last Sigma Xi meeting was marked by much scientific discussion and melted ice cream. While the scientists eventually put things down to the barest technical basis, the ice cream was melting rapidly. When the scientists finally got ready to eat, 65 per cent of the ice cream was mostly ice, without much ice.
The Chi O's went a-zerending Thursday night. At the Delta Tau house refreshments of a strictly utilitarian nature were served. Welcome the serenders was a table on which stood a tall pitcher of water, a large loaf of bread and a long butcher knife.
FOOLISH QUESTIONS
What happens to all the posters put up around the campus?
Does the "Toontville Trolley" have a regular schedule, and if so, how often?
Do people buy popcorn before the,

inside and they can get away with it?
What keeps the flowers on the hill?
What keeps the flowers on the hi from getting picked?
"Yes," said the prof, "I have been very favorably impressed with your work this year. Mr. Dingleib, and I wish you well for the freshman honor roll!"
Does over-study or a chummy racer make some students bump-backed?
JUST PUBLICITY
But the student didn't become al
thrilled and feel honored at once.
Quite the contrary, for he was a
sophomore.
The posters urge upon us the duty of attending the Frost Frolic, the box supper, the Pop Ball, the May fete, the track meet, the student forum, the Black Helm dance and Electra. All before quiz week, too!
It was Jones vs Jones Thursday in the Pan-hellenic League. At one time in the Sig Alf-Phi Delt game there was a Jones in the box, a Jones be-
mese and a Jones at but, Pete, Jack and Seidon were the stars if the game.
"Yes, I believe it will solve a difficult problem and will put an end to much hostility. But it must be amended before I can support it. In one point lurks danger which will overthrow our institution and take away our liberties unless we move against it."
Sounds like a League of Nations argument, doesn't it? But it's only on the right side.
It looks like a pleasant summer on the sea-shore for a number of students in the biology department. Dr B. A. Allen will take them to Puget Sound to study the helianthropoids and other natural wonders.
FAMOUS LAST LINES Amen.

The annual election of officers was postponed until the first meeting of the society next fall.
Honor System Election To Be Held June 3-4 Instead of May 27-28
Committee Believes Students Need More Definite Information on Plan
Wedell Favors Its Adoption
Says University Students are Responsible for Conduct of Classmates
Voting on the honor system has been postponed to June 3 and 4 by the two student councils because of the fact that Mrs. Matsu, president of the Woman's Student Council, and John N. Monteith, president of the Men's Student Council, believe the students should be well prepared for all phases of the system before voting.
The committee believes the students will adopt the honor system if they fully understand all the phases of the program. When the committee, announced today that at the election on June 3 and 4, there would be a working committee of 200 persons in order to put the system into action, the committee will be chosen in a few days.
"If you students vote down the honor or system watch the newspapers of Kansas, and especially the Kansas City Star, and see what they will say about the fact that K. U. students are honesty examinations," said Dutch Hunt in a brief meeting of the Y. M. C. A, and Y. W. C. A. Thursday night.
"It is a gross sort of ignorance to think that the students cannot govern themselves as well as the average community. Many students have told me that they are not responsible for the conduct of their classmates. If this is so, there is little hope for the world to be better. This is the reason for which the United States entered the war."
Under the honor system the student would look at the question from four ways.
1. If I cheat I am a liar.
1. If I cheat I am a liar.
2. If I take aid and receive my degree without doing the required mount of work in government.
3. If I accept or give aid I am a traitor to student government.
4. Whenever I give or receive aid I am an enemy to the best morale of the student life of the University.
*Voting for the honor system is a matter of government as against faculty government. Student government properly run, is more effective than faculty government with one exception, that the disciplinary power be held by a joint committee of students and faculty.
A fine, big, well-built student government and the honor system is the best way to start."
