ALTER ELECTION LAWS
NUMBER
Men's Student Council Committee Will Handle Class Polls
IQ REVISE VOTING LISTS
The handling of class elections from now on will be under the jurisdiction of an election committee, which was appointed last night at the initial Student Council meeting of the year. The members of the committee are: H. Crig, chairman; H. M. Bardin, M. M. M. Gear, T. C. Tarrane. These men will revise and correct the voting lists, see to the eligibility of the students, place the election booths, and attend all other matters pertaining to the elections. It is the belief of council members that this committee eliminated the most important aspects which have come into past elections and sometimes developed into scandals.
Council Will Give Dances—Bool Store Not Discussed
Petitions of men who expect to run for class offices must be presented with a fee of seventy-five cents to the student, not later than next Tuesday noon.
The following men were appointed at the council meeting to serve on the Student Activities Committee for this year: Frank Terrill chairman; Brick Chandier, A. B. Irwin, Eugene Cook, Geoffrey McNaughtley by this committee to give a student dance Saturday night at the F. A. U. Hall, the usual admission of seventy-five cents a couple to be charged. In their haste to get out placards announcing this dance, this last important item was left off. The Union Club of Lawyers will give their dance-hall dates to the Student Council and a series of University dances will be arranged for the year.
The matter of the co-operative book store was left over until after the class elections which will be held Friday, September 29.
TO GIVE NEW COURSES
Faculty Considers Plans of Offering New Courses Seen
It is probable, Dean Tempill state today, that a course in Portuguese will be offered next semester but the other work will not be given before next year at the earliest. Some financial need has to be made for the other work.
Chancellor Frank Strong speaks highly of the plan to extend the work and scope of the University by installing these new courses.
Plans for offering more courses in the College are being seriously considered by Dean Elian Templin and the College faculty. It is hoped to be able to introduce work in Asiatic History History of South American Republics Portuguese history and courses that will give training in administrative ability.
"It is right in line with the note I struck in my opening address last Friday," Chancellor Strong said. "The versities would have to commence preparing for the change that will come when the war is over. I am especially anxious to hear from the history of the american countries and administrative training put in."
"Right today the big business concerns of this country are searching for men capable of holding down $15,000 jobs. The country is overrun with fellows able to handle the $1,500 and $2,000 places but there is plenty of room at the top to be if you want universities that would young men in administrative ability, it would be a big step forward."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 21, 1916.
"I am very anxious to see these new courses put in," said Dean Templin, "because I believe it is the duty of the University to do more than educate men and women to go out into Kansas but it should educate them to go out into the world of commerce." We are told until now, money has been set aside for the work but the idea will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
"There is a big opening for the young people of this country in the Asiaiist countries and South America. There is no end to the amount of work for humanity that there is to do in Asia and it is the moral duty as well as the privilege of this country to assist with the task. And I think K U. should prepare us into that line of work if they care to." Strong called attention to the fact that there are already forty K U. people engaged in work in Asia and that the University should arrange to take care of her own students and fit them to go to those lands if they wish.
The Men's Gymnasium classes will not start until next week. The delay is due partly to the late arrival of Dr. Naismith from the border.
TERRILL ATTENDS LABOR

Prof. A. C. Terrill of the department of mining engineering, was brought into close touch with labor conditions this past summer. He was appointed delegate to the Governmental Labor Officials Convention which was held in Buffalo, N.Y. At this meeting the question of shifting labor in slack time was discussed.
While he was in Buffalo he also attended the convention of Public Employment Bureaus. After spending a week here he went to the Pittsburgh coal fields where he made a study of the occurrence of gas in the coal seams- and its relation to explosions in the mines.

Many of the instructors and students who left the department of chemistry of the University last June are now holding down good positions in both educational and industrial fields. E. J. Baildwin formerly instructor in the department of chemistry is now assistant dean of North Dakota. H O. Lichtenwalter also a former instructor in chemistry is now research chemist employed by the Union Powder Corporation at Parlin N. J.
Students in the department last year, who have since entered the industrial field, are: L. E. Jackson, who is with the DuPont Powder Company, at Hamibai, Mo; F. E. Blachy, chemist for the U. S.

No, even on the ground the wind does not blow forty miles an hour on Mount Oread as one might imagine, and Prof. Chas. Shull of the department of botany can prove it. The evaporation station on the campus has a temperature meter which keeps accurate record of the maximum and minimum velocity. "The highest rate of wind velocity registered since the 15th of August when the station was installed," says Professor Shill, "is ten miles an hour that down to ten mile. The average velocity is about five miles an hour."
A meeting of all graduate students will be held on Wednesday September 27, at 4:30 p. m., in Room 202, Administration Building. As this is the second time we are hosting, are requested to be present—F, W, Blackmar, Dean.

SECOND POSTERS
'Logical" Junior Ticket Promoters Plaster Campus Again Today
NAME CANDIDATES SOON
OUT SCRIBES PLAN CABARET
Junior Opposition Framing
Ticket—Scrap is Lively
The second installment of political thunder appeared on the Hill this morning in the form of "follow" posters to those used by promoters of the "Logical" Junior Ticket yesterday. "If," say the posters, "you could know every man and woman in the junior class—but you can; and if you could select through intimate personal contact the ones of these best fitted for each office—which you can command if it were in office—would you do it?" The poster closes with a plea for votes on next Friday and displays in large type the motto of the candidates: "Business, Not Politics."
Who the candidates on the ticket are was practically settled this morning, according to rumor on the campus. It is said that the candidates' names will be announced on a third poster to appear tomorrow.
In the meantime, another group of juniors are holding frequent meetings in order to launch a ticket by the last of this week, and important developments will be announced immediately. The big fight in the junior class will center around the presidency, according to those who claim to know the situation.
Freshman activity still continues as a mystery. It is known, however, that several caucases have been held among the first-year students.
The soph aores have not yet burst into public cy, as the class seems badly split into three divisions which appear to be intermediate developments are expected.
Two senior tickets were practically assured this morning when it was whispered about the Hill that $i$ can be in the field aban<sup>15</sup> "glam" Clase.
The annual class elections take place next Friday, under the supervision of the Mansion of the Mission, the vice-president, secretary and treasurer will be elected for each of the four classes. In addition, two junior prom managers, a sophom manager and an editor and business manager (for our 1918 Jayhawns) are to be chosen.
CATALOG GOES TO PRESS
Will Soon be Ready for Distribu
The work of putting out the annual catalog of the University has been very clock-like this year, according to Michael Ostrich, and is now rated for the press.
The annual catalog of the University embraces the following separate sections: I. General Information; II. Graduate School; III. College of Law; Liberal Arts and Sciences; IV. Engineering; V. Social Sciences; VI. Arts; VII. School of Law; VII. School of Pharmacy; VIII School of Medicine; IX School of Education; X Summer Session Division; XI Extension Division; XII The Divisions of Athletics, Libraries, Museums, Publications, State Service Work, University Surveys; Register of Degrees confirmed; and students in residence under the year.
School has again been disturbed by a woman. The dignified lawyers have been happy since '13 when Winnona Macoskey graduated from the school. This year Miss Consulela Krugg, of Hutchinson, has braved the frowns of Uncle Jimmie's students to attend a law meeting with the intention of finishing as a real lawyer. She has been in the college two years and as yet has not decided how she will apply her studies in the Law Building.
This publication can be secured at the registrar's office in a few days.

"I didn't even know where the Chemistry Building was," said Mr. Rice this morning, "and as a result our display does not adequately represent what we are doing here have anything to do with it, our exhibit will be much improved."
Friday has been set aside as University day at the fair. There will be no classes Friday afternoon in order to give students a chance to see the exhibits. The fair will close Friday night, after a three day session.
Most of the downtown stores were closed yesterday afternoon to allow the merchants to go to Woodland and store owners will close again Thursday afternoon.

Kansas Not a Storm Center; Buildings Unsatched

That Kansas is the storm center of the United States is a tradition which other states hold, the experience of those who believe that the statement is a mere fiction.
STORMS SPARE MT. OREAD
Snow Hall was struck in the summer of 1915. Again the damage was slight inasmuch as only a small portion of the roof was torn off.
Miss Irma K. Wullenwaber, sophomore, still gets fused when the professors mispronounce her name. She can't understand why the mistake should invariably occur, considering that Wullenwaber, like the Russian town, Przemysl, can be pronounced only as it is spelled.
Marie Buchanan, c'18, and Helen Cook, c'20, left this afternoon for Manhattan where they will attend a Chi Omega rushing party this evening. They will return Friday morning.

PLAN SANE HALLOWEEN
Professor McKeever Urges "Proper Celebration" to Lessen Destructive Energy
No longer is Halloween to be the signal—in Kansas, at least—for putting under lock and key all things which can be carried, pulled or pried loose from their usual and legitimate resting place, that is, if Prof. Wm A. McKeever as department of the state Child Welfare department can secure the co-operation of school authority in the prevention of interest in a new plan to prevent the exhibition of the destructive energy that usually asserts itself on Halloween.
Letters are now going out from Professor McKeever's office asking the co-operation of the schools in arranging a program which will provide teachers with the necessary timess for interest even the "gang." Parades in traditional Halloween costumes with the witches and games that make Holloween a real event among the things suggested to divert attention, and provide fun for all.
"If there is a good response from the various towns interested in the Child Welfare movement," said Procter, who will speak at the event will follow this first letter of suggestions with a definite plan for the working out of a same Halloween. I got a hint of this idea in the East." A similar plan is working out well there."

The meeting place for the Hughes organization gathering will be announced later. The meeting will be followed by a series of preliminary plans. It is expected to make the organization one worth while. The national Republican committee has promised that with a strong K. U. or organizational campaign speak will be sent here.

ANNOY COLLEGE WOMEN
Boys Living on Ohio Street Pass Remarks About Girls
DEAN TEMPLIN DISGUSTED
Offenders Will be Arraigned If More Complaints Are Made
"Hey, Billie, see that pretty Jane?"
"That is some skirt that just went!"
DEAN TEMPLIN DEPLORES ACTIONS
Remarks of a personal and embarrassing nature are addressed to and about women passing there it is charged.
Such is a sample of the remarks that have brought numerous complaints into the office of Dean Olm Tempin from woman of the house in New York, where utterances were made by men in a morning house on Ohio Street.
MEN ARE KNOWN
"It is a deplorable state of circumstances," said Dean Templin, "when we have to tolerate jays in the University who know no better manners than that. Complaints have been numerous from various sources about the attacks of those men who spend much of their time on the porch, waiting for some woman to pass, about whom they can make some remark.
"We know exactly who the men are and if some publicity fails to arouse their sense of decency, they will be criticized for it. They dealt with. The University attempts to make men and women out of its students but it is asking too much if we are expected to convert jaws who have been infected in such manner, the gentlemen."
Thoughtlessness on the part of the new students here who are not yet accustomed to University ways may be responsible for the men's actions, it was suggested by one authority. Since school is just getting under way some may still feel a little carefree and frivolous, it was stated.
Little difficulty has been encountered at the University before from occurrences of this sort and it is beneficial to the students to pride of the students will cause them to change their habits and abandon their familiar ways.
