MAJORITY ASK CHANGE
Reporters' Canvas Shows That Public Opinion Favors Later Chapel Hour
MANY FAVOR OLD SYSTEM
Various Suggestions Given for Appropriate Time
University opinion is in favor of a change of the hour or system of chapel judging from a canvas of a representative number of University students and faculty members which has just been reviewed by the reporters for the Daily Kansan.
Many express themselves in favor of the old custom of holding chapel at 10 o'clock.
Marie Buchanan, '18 College: "The present chapel hour is all right if chapel is to be a daily affair. If a greater attendance is desired, it would be better to have it less frequently and at a later hour."
Miss Ann Gittens, secretary of the Y. W. C. A.: "I am very well pleased with the hour as it is, for it gives one a better start for the day."
Hugo Wedell, '15 College, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.: "Last year the Senate submitted to the chapel committee only two periods, namely 8:00 and 4:30. Personally I prefer the 8:00 and think that is better than no chapel."
Bertha Eichenauer, 18 College: "I believe it is an imposition to ask speakers to talk to such a small attendance as those we have at daily chapel. If held once a week at 10:30 there would be a larger crowd."
professor Todd, of the department of Geology: "It will be well to continue the chapel hour at 8:00 o'clock because the warm weather has caused an increase in the attendance, and the increase will probably continue."
Dean Reitzel, 18' College: "I would rather have chapel at eight o'clock than classes, because I don't go to chapel and I would have to go to
Nellie Johnson, '18 College: "Eight
clock is too early for anyone to climb
the hill for chapel. If they had it at
night they would have more people
would be benefitted."
Billy Koester, '18 College: "Chapte
blize a week at 10:30 with classes begain-
ning at 8:30, as under present condi-
tions, is the best scheme I can of-
Dick Trewekske, "18 College: 'Chapel at 8:00 may not be entirely satisfactory but I do not know of any time when we are available to most of the students."
Cargill Sproull, '17 College: "I am in favor of chapel at 8:00 simply because it means that classes shall be there, and I do not want them to be others of the same opinion."
Arthur Nigg, '16 Engineer: "would like to go to chapel if it came at any time but at eight o'clock on Friday" or bigger chapel or Friday and another one on Tuesday."
Bertha Smith, '16 College: "I do not think that the plan of having chapel every day has been a success. If we could have two good chapel services a week it would do much more good."
Ralph Chapman, '17 College "There is no better way to start the day right than by attending morning classes. It really helps to do away with these exercises."
Ira L. Goheen, '16 Pharmacy: "I find no greater pleasure in my college life than the twenty minutes I spend each day at morning prayers."
Professor W. W. Hawkins: "The chapel hour should be changed to later in the day. It has obviously not been a success the way it is and although this is my first year here I would be 10:30 chapel would be much latter."
Lillian Wolf, '16 College: "The chapel hour should be placed at 10:30 again as it used to be, with the big chapel coming on Tuesday and Thursday. We have time for meeting together and under the present system it is impossible."
Helen Wedd, '18 College: "Eight o'clock is the wrong time to have chapel. If it were at 10 o'clock a larger number would certainly attend. Eight might be an advantage, but they would certainly hold them, the students would certainly attend them."
R. Brooker: "Chapel at eight o'clock is satisfactory to me because it is more convenient for me to come to school at eight-thirty than at eight."
Wint Smith, '18 College; "Chapel should be held at 10:30 instead of at eight because it would have better attendance at that hour. Students will not attend eight o'clock chapel unless you compel them to come. The students should have homework. The church service we should have. Two days should be used for religious service and three days should be used for "per" rallies."
Raymond A. Fagan, Graduate:
"The only way I can see to make a well attended daily chapel service possible is to keep the attendance optional but to give credit for chapel the same as for gymnasium work."
Walter B. Havekorst. **18' College:** He is survived by his wife, Sara, and five fifty minute chapel services and love in a memorial.

on Sunday where each creed could have a representative talker?"
Gunny Henry, 16 College; "Daily chapel is a good thing for the Uni. You can see the people given up. If chapel were held at some other time in the morning I would make an effort to attend and I know several other people who feel the same."
Prof. E, M. Hopkins: "I have not attended chapel because all my classes meet in the afternoon and I do not find it convenient to come up on the morning. I think daily chapel is a good thing if people will only go."
Drexel Powell, '16 College: "I have never thought much about chapel because I never go. I think they should have chapel for those who care to go to school or help people stay away. I believe that any school should have a daily chapel."
Lucile Hildinger, '16 College: "I have always thought that a daily chapel where attendance is compulsory gives unity to a student. If we had a large assembly room I think we should have all students attend."
*Anita Hoewitter*, *17 College: "Td*

than eight o'clock.*
Anna Gill, '16 College: "I would go to chapel if we were held at 10:30." Wilbur Fisher, '16 College: "Why not get back to the old system of a 10:30 chapel when we all used to attend?"
Elmer Bradley, '18 College: "One disadvantage of an 8:00 chapel is to those several hundred students who work at the clubs and cannot possibly get to an eight o'clock chapel. That is because they are never from the hill cannot possibly have a 11:30 and a 1:30 class unless they sacrifice their dinner."
Plans on Foot to Plant Trees and Beautify the Hospital Grounds
NILL IMPROVE CAMPU
"The first, and most inexpensive step that can be taken toward beautifying the campus is to stop throwing tobacco boxes and other trash on it," declared Prof. Goodwin Goldsmith this morning. "The first appearance of green this year was Tuxedo boxes. This made us feel blue, so they gave us 'Edworthy' Byron. They also gave us 'Prince Albert'. Flowers and trees will not make a dirty campus beautiful. We must first learn to keep it clean."
According to Prof. W. C. Stevens, the board of improvements has already made plans for beautiful lawns and few places on the campus this spring. The steep bank running along the south side of the campus past the school building with slumber boards both to beautify it and seen it from washing away.
"Though our campus has not been laid out by a landscape gardener as some have been," said Professor Stevens, "it has the advantage of a natural location of unusual beauty, with the north and south slopes well exposed to view. For this reason it is capable of being more attractive than the average campus at least once per season, we should have a landscape garden to do the work but only perennial trees and plants will be set out so as to eliminate the expense of having to plant new stuff every year."
Registrar George O. Foster expressed a desire to see the students take up this matter and help beautify the campus by planting trees on Arbor Day or some similar plan. "It seems to me that if the graduating classes, instead of leaving a set of books for the library, or a museum held in some way be instrumental in securing material for beautifying the campus, it would be doing the University a greater service."

Girls' Basketball Games Won be Open to Gaze of General Public
TWO DAYS FOR TOURNEY
Thirty-seven Men's Teams Will Offer Entertainment
The feminist movement has spread to the ninth annual high school basketball tournament in be held Saturday in Robinson Gymnasium.
In a sweeping order issued this morning, W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, announced that absolutely no man will be admitted to the girls' games of the tournament. To make the privacy of the feminine player explicit, he said the courts on the first floor, behind locked and draped doors, and with a woman referee, imported just for the occasion, in charge. Manager Hamilton added that so secret were the girls' games to be that he did not himself expect to even get a glimpse of what would happen at the tournament being left in the hands of Dr. Alice Goetz, women's physic training director.
In announcing the separate girls' tournament, Manager Hamilton said that it was at the request of the athletic officials that the change was made. It was first announced that men with women escorts would be allowed to play games but later the ruling was changed to make even this impossible.
Despite the loss of the girl's part of the tournament as far as the general public is concerned, Manager Hamilton expects the remaining thirteen players to win a plurality of basketball entertainment for the crowd. There will be practically two whole days and nights of the indoor sport, the opening game starting at ten o'clock Friday morning between Kansas City Kane, and Miami, and the final night a game ship coming Saturday night a eight o'clock.
One result of the secrecy of the girls' games will be that several high schools will probably dress their girl players in regulation basketball suits instead of the usual clumsy bloomers.
The final game for the feminine championship will be, as usual, late Saturday afternoon, but even this week they played only for women spectators.
A schedule of the opening games is as follows:
Ascend "Panthers"

WATER BONDS CARRY
Eight Hundred Majority for Im provement Issue; University Vote Deciding Factor
The water bond proposition carried by eight hundred majority in the primary election yesterday. The vote stood: 1084, again; 1886, for. This means that the city of Lawrence will own its own water works which it will buy from the Lawrence Water Company at a cost of $15 million to improve and extend the system to meet the needs of the present size of the city.
The vote as the primary election was rather large as compared to the primaries of other years. It is thought the large vote was due to the interest taken in the water question. The vote was two-thirds as large as the general election, but than fifty percent usually vote at the city primary.
Very few of the students of the University voted, owing to a misunderstanding. Most of the students thought that registration meant the payment of a three dollar poll tax here, and they wished to pay it at their home town. Most of the faculty voted at the election.
In the second ward where most of the students and faculty of the University voted the bonds carried four to one.

ATHLETES SHOW SKILL
Pupils of Doctor Alice Goetz Appear in Big Open Lesson
GIVES "A's" AND NUMERALS
Awards for Efficiency Presented by Chancellor Strong
Every class in the department appeared on the floor. As one large class passed off another section was proceeded with clock-like regularity.
The first open lesson given by the women's physical training department was applauded as a certain success by hundreds of persons crowding the seating capacity of Robinson Gym last night.
In the Scarf Dance the aesthetic dancers, with their butterfly wings of many colors, and their graceful dancing, climaxed the affair. Some eight or ten men who have been taking aesthetic dancing under Dr. Geetz appeared in the Scarf Dance and other aesthetic dances.
J. B. McNaught, who did such excellent work in the May Fete dancing last year, featured last night in the interpretive dance, "Autumn," Helen Clark and Helen Topping appeared in individual dances.
Chancellor Strong presented the award of merit, a large red letter "A." with the smaller blue initials U. K. across it, to some twenty women athletes. The requirement for obtaining such an emblem is the winning of seventy-five points from the three groups, individual accomplishments, sports and games, and personal qualification by achievement in the Athletic Association. The freshmen and sophomore basketball women who played in some of the scheduled games this season received numerals at this time.
Among the folk dances, the "Irish Jie" by the sophomore class and the Spanish and Italian dances by the advanced classes were especially attractive. The "Tennis Racquet Dance" also featured.
In the callisthenic and other preliminary exercises about 100 women covered the big floor in long straight rows. Each woman worked rhythmically with the music and when one dumbbell or wand was held above the head ninety-nine other dumbbells or wands were held in the same position.
K. U. HAS OWN SERVICE
Potter's Lake Is Used to Supply Fire Protection on the Hui
Those students who began to fear for the safety of their lives because the supply tank on Oread has been condemned by the State Fire Inspections Department. K, U, has one of the most efficient waterower services in the state.
K. U. does not depend on the Lawnwater Water Company to furnish water in case of fire but draws its supply from Potter's Lake which was built for that purpose and is connected with the city main near the engineering building and the water from the city main is shut off in case of fire.
When a fire alarm is sent in, all the engineer at the power plant has to do is turn on an electric switch, which starts the centrifugal pump at Potter's Lake and water is forced up to the suction pipe of the fire pump at the power plant and in thirty seconds the water pressure can be raised from fifteen pounds to the usual pressure on the Hill from the Lawrence water works, to 150 pounds. This is water power enough to force water over Fraser Hall.
Under ordinary conditions, the water used on the Hill comes from the city main but the pressure from down the hill is low. In the second floors of the buildings, so it has to be pumped up by the service pump at the power plant. A pressure of sixty pounds is maintained in the main and night in all the pipes on the Hill.
The fire pump at the K. U. power plant has power to force water out of its main at the rate of 60 patients a minute. The system has 50 pounds in all the pipes on the Hill.
charles Griffith, chief engineer at the power plans, says: "There is no danger on the Hill from fire because of the water supply, for we have plenty of water and plenty of power to force it up into the right buildings. It runs over, both night and day and even on Sundays. The pump at Potter's Lake is tested every day to make sure that every thing is in working order."
The Weather
