Prospects for Kansas Track Team Are Poor; Opponents Are Strong
O'Leary, Rodkey, Haddock, Hei cer and Clift Best Men For Varsity
Usual Bear Story from Moor
frost, Works and Foreman Stars For Aggies—Sylvester For Missouri
With the poorest prospects for a winning track team Kansas has had in years, the Jayhawkers are facing two big indoor meets in the near future with the Kansas Aggies and the Missouri Tigers in their opponents. The Aggie team will take place on Monday at the Tiger dual meet will probably be March 21 at Convention Hall in Kansas City.
The Aggies undoubtedly have one of the strongest truck teams they have turned out in years. They have returned several veterans, including Jack Frost, star pole vaulter, Works, high jumper and hurler and Captain Foreman, probably the best two miler in the Missouri Valley, and besides these men, they have three real stars from last year's freshman speedsters in Neeley and Gallagher, quarter milers, and Evans, a sprinter. Neesey and Evans were stars in the state high school meet held on McCoack field in 1917, when they cleaned up everything in the dastes.
Word comes from Missouri than the Tigers are conceding the edge in the annual Kansas Missouri indoor meet to the Jayhawkers. This is probably the usual bear story that comes from Columbia, however, as Missou has returned five letter men, all almost sure point winners, and the Tiger team is strong where Kansas is weak, in the hurdles especially.
Captain Sylvester, cousin of Bob Simpson, has topped the high hurdles in 15.1-5 seconds, equaling the Kansas record. Sylvester also pole vaults more than 11 feet'. Kansas has yet to find a hurdler who is up to Valley standards, in fact. Coach Hamilton has not had a classy hurdler since the time of Dan Hazen. Heizer, the best bet in the pole vault is doing around 10 feet 6 inches Chandler, a freshman from Westporh high, has gone as high as 11 feet 4 inches in the event but is mak

Pool Will Be Opened To University Women For Swimming Classes
Term
Swimming Meets will be Worked Up in the Spring
"The swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium will be opened for women of the University, Wednesday," Miss Hazel Pratt said, this morning. "Freshmen and sophomores may substitute swimming for their regular gymnasium classes but all University women are free to use the pool."
The pool is open for women during the following hours: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; at 10:30 Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30; Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 3:30, and Wednesday at 4:30. During the other hours the pool is to be used by men.
Miss Adaldea Steger will have charge of all swimming classes for women. The water will be kept low during the remainder of the term for the benefit of all those desiring to learn how to swim.
During the spring term the fourth annual interclass swimming meet will be worked up. This meet will be followed by an intra-mural meet. The classes will be more advanced to beginners and there will be no begging classes.
The pool has not been opened earl-
lier because the filter was out of order.
Part of the filter was broken when
Fowler Shops burned last spring, and
it has just been recast. It is only
recently that the jianxi was cleaned
by Dongguan. It has been large
enough to keep the pool in good conditi-
tion.
No plans have been made as yet, to open the swimming pool when the rest of the gymnasium is thrown open for recreation, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Price of Law Scrim
Cut in Half by Senate
Although Funds Are Small, Managers Promise Good Party and Haley's Orchestra

The question is whether you would hold cannot be settled effectively unless the women have an opportunity to get together and talk the matter over."

Plain Tales From the Hill
Harley Scott, the president of the freshman class stopped at the probate judge's office in Kansas City. Kansas with a young woman from
Yes, sir! He was on the street car with two suit cases and several people heard him give directions to the motorman to be sure and let him know when they got, to the courthouse.
Harley has always vowed that he would never marry. He says it is entirely outside of his curriculum, but when he walked boldly into that large building accompanied by a good-looking Sims, it certainly did look suspicious. Sims, it certainly did look suspicious.
Harley says that the young woman was merely making a social survey of Kansas City for her Sociology report and that she wanted to see Judge Sims because he is also judge of the court as well as the Probate Court.
He would have a hard time trying to convince the people on the street car that day however, because he certainly acted as nervous as any bridegroom.
Watch your step when you go exploring on the North College steps. They are slippier than seven hundred dollars. If you don't believe it ask Bobby Lynn. No! On second thought, you're better to just look at his eye. It will be much safer and it tells the story of his fall, just as well.
Did you notice it in the K. C. Star, the advertisement for Dean Blackmar's lecture to be given before the Westminster Congregational Church and the Blue Goose ad, resting side by side on the inside page? After this, more students will probably attend Dean Blackmar's lecture. We always thought they were in an entirely different class.
The question that is worrying the public now is, why was Earl Stanton praising the Betas on his way home from Kansas City Sunday night?
Elise McNutt took a 1:30 car back to Lawrence from K. C. Saturday, but after she had been on the train for about an hour or so, she discovered that she was bound for Leavenworth. After several exciting incidents with the conductor, a few Fords that ran gas, and a long walk across country, she managed to see the right car and pulled into Lawrence about 5:30.
That does sound fishy, doesn't it,
but she made one man believe it.
This week has been set aside by some of the K. U. women as a period of ripping and sewing. Professors need not expect any woman to come to class with her lessons prepared. Long skirts are now the thing and the women of the University positively refuse to let another Varsity dance come and go until they have ripped the hems out of everything that they own.

Kansas Psychologists Perform Big Service For American Army
University Men Help in Work of Classifying Soldiers for Service
'Intelligence Ratings' Used
Life
Methods Devised for War Time Found Useful for Civil
"Psychologists have been successful in their task of determining suitable vocations for men in the army," said Prof. W. S. Hunter today, when he told of the various kinds of work that the psychologists in general and Kansas professors in particular have done in the army.
"There are four different kinds of work that have been undertaken, the first being the classification of personnel. This work was under the supervision of W. D. Scott of the adjutant general's department of the Army. The division endeavored to classify men according to their past industrial experiences and to place them in units where their particular abilities were required. To aid in this classification, the trade test was degree of vocational expertise of the vowed in order to determine the demen. The data obtained would enable the personnel officers for example to send to General Pershing a hundred skilled auto repairmen, without risk of later finding out that the men were not adapted to their work.
"The personnel work, before the armistice was signed, was organized in all army cantonments in the country. Since that time Col. W. D. Scott has established the Scott's Efficiency Co-operation in Philadelphia, for the purpose of placing scientific personnel work in the industrial organizations of the country. Expertness of the department is mindful of before the war were first secured through the work of the psychologists and efficiency experts. When war was declared Colonel Scott obtained the introduction of personnel work in the Army and at present it is returning to civil institutions.

Panhellenic Gives $500 Saved During Rush Week To Co-operative House
Miss Corbin Outlines Project for House To Be Run on Wisconsin Plan
At the meeting of the Womanu's Panhellenic Council Monday afternoon, it was decided to turn over the $500 saved by the ten sororities by simplified rushing, to the co-operative house fund. Each of the ten sororities will give $50.
This will be the beginning of the fund, and the earning of money to furnish the house is in the hands of the executive council of the W. S. G. A. The university house ruling committee will provide the house, and will control the management of it, as they now do all student rooming houses in Lawrence, but the women who are the owners of the house will to the adviser of women will run the house themselves. It is hoped that the house will be ready next fall.
"The co-operative house will be run on the same plan as the three at the University of Wisconsin, and the three at the University of Minnesota," said Miss Alberta Corbin. "Those universities have among the most attractive student homes. Each co-operative house has a chaperone appointed by the house committee, and the women run their home on co-operative plan. It has proved a great success." She applied to Danbaker on the general co-operation of women students of the University with the new rules being put into force by the Senate. She urged simplicity of dress among the women, and advocated starting Universities dances at 8 o'clock sharp.
