MAY DRESS THE LINKS
Shea Willing to Assume Halt Cost of Putting Campus In Shape
GOLF CLUB MAY REVIVE
Golf enthusiasts at the University may again have the links on the University campus for use if some means can be devised for raising half of the necessary funds for keeping the grounds in shape.
Means For Raising Funds to be Devised
He estimates that the total expense of upkeep would be between $200 and $700 as the Oread Club stold was able to do it for less. No new machinery would be required and the money donated by any individual or organization outside of the department of grounds could be turned in to Mr. Shea or applied in, individually as the donors saw.
the group.
John Shea, superintendent of groups, has made the proposition that his department will stand half of the expense incurred in spite of the fact that it is rather short of funds. "It is to the advantage of the University to have the campus kept in good shape," said Mr. Shea, "and that is the reason that the department makes the offer."
"The scheme for the golf links is a good one," said H. A. Lorenz, physical director, today. "I wonder why something of the kind has not been done before on golf itself like to lend a hand with golf myself, or the difficulty of course, is the raising of the necessary funds to provide that one half of the expenses. I should suggest that a committee of those most interested get together and see what can be done on the matter." Lorenz believes the professor of golf contributes to the Oread Club, which has supervised the Oread Club, would be willing to contribute towards the maintenance of the campus links as well.
As the matter now stands the initiative must be taken by some one towards the raising of the money needed in order to take advantage of the offer made by the superintendent of grounds.
FINE ARTS GIVE RECITAL
Thirteen Students Give Ninth Concert Before Good Crowd
The ninth student recital of this year was given in Fraser Hall last night by students of the music department of the School of Fine Arts. In the student recitals, which are given often during the year, the program is made up of those who are proficient enough to appear in public, and the recitals are intended to develop confidence in the students.
Those appearing on the program last night were Mary Linn, Alene Wilson, Helen Jenkins, Hendra Dawson, Orlo S. Holmes, Doris Roebke, Laeta Ellison, Louis Libbey, Charles Sturtevant, Ednah Hopkins, Ena Davis, Clara Powell and Mary Jarvis.
Other student recitals will be given later and graduation recitals will begin next month. Frequent public programs not only give those who take part in their confidence but also give the public a chance to see what the department is doing. The audiences are usually made up of about as many people as of students. Programs are sent out the state to high schools, and other schools of music to show the work which is being done here.
STUDENTS LIKE S. E. POST AND COSMOPOLITAN BEST
Judging from the worn covers on magazines in Spooner Library, students read the Outing, edited by Albert Britt, more than any other magazine that is kept in the library. This magazine contains exceptionally good illustrations as well as reports "The Saturday Post" is post in the students' students," said Allie Carroll yesterday, "but with the exception of the Post I sell more Cosmopolitans to students than any other magazine at that price."
The most popular newspaper of the day, according to information given by proprietors of newstands is the Kansas City Times. The Times is almost twice as popular as its evening edition, the Star.
Correction
Owing to a mistake in the printing the vote on the chapel hour was given in the Kansan yesterday as 50 in favor of the 8 o'clock chapel, instead of 150, as it should have been. The entire vote was largely in favor of the early hour instead of opposed, as it appeared from the mistake.
Mrs. Louse Davis, of Downs, will come to Lawrence the last of the week for a short visit with her son, Donald, '19 College.
TO TEST WATER SOFTENER
FRIDAY IN BLARE HALL
From a thousand eligibles, twenty-five students have registered to vote on the water question. Ungrounded fear of being assessed three dollars poll tax caused the voting students to shy the City Clerk's office. The city water election will be held March 14th.
The second demonstration of iron removal and softening of the Lawrence city water will be given Friday afternoon on the top floor of Blake Hall. The State Water Department partners their experts in the softening of water up and down the Kaw river until enough data is collected to finish the bulletin of the Chemical Research Department. The cost of operations such a filter as is intended by the water has been estimated for the city plant, has been estimated to be about twenty-five dollars a day; the initial cost would be $25,000.

LAW COURSE IS POPULAR
College Students Like New Study-48 in Class
The new course in Elementary Law, which is being given this semester in the College for the first time, is proving very useful to me, and one of its kind in this country, although it has been needed at K. U. for several years.
The course is taught by Prof. B. F. Moore of the political science department, and if the present enrollment is any indication of its success, it will become one of the most important courses in the Hill. There are 48 students in the class, which was to have been limited to forty. A large text book is used -and each topic is enlarged upon by the assignment of court room cases. According to Professor Moore, the teacher must mate place students' course in the main course and a study of books alone is not enough to get the results which the course will give.
"The purpose of the study is to give a general knowledge of law, but not to turn out lawyers," he said. To teach students about our students are taking this course and an unusual feature of the class is that 25 per cent are girls.
Hon. A. M. Keen will speak at Convocation, next Friday at 10:30. His theme will be “The Divinity of Christ.” Mr. Keen is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he was a member of the Kent Chapter of the legal fraternity, Phi Delta Pi.

SHOW PICTURES TO PROFS
Wartime Photographs of Belgium and Russia at Club
The University Club has arranged for an illustrated lecture at the club-house tomorrow evening, by Mr. O. B. Zimmermann, advising engineer of the Interation Harvester Company, on the subject "Russia and Belgium in Wartime". The lecture will begin at 8 o'clock and will be followed by an informal smoker. All members of the club are invited.
Mr. Zimmermann is in charge of the Harvest Company's European trade, and has been in Belgium and Russia and some of the other warring countries since the world conflict broke out in 1914. He will illustrate his talk with views taken by him in the two countries which will form the subject of his lectures. Mr. Zimmermann Lawrence as the guest of P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering of the University, and is one of the speakers at the mechanical engineering conference now in session on the hill.
If anything is hard to get, blame it on the war. It may not be a European product but that doesn't matter. Hershey's chocolates were not supposed to be a European product, but when a shortage in that article developed a few days ago in Lawrence one of the local dealers once jumped to the conclusion that it was the fault of the war.
OH WHERE, OH WHERE HAVE
THE CHOCOLATES GONE?
Another merchant was a little more explicit and stated that it was only the almond nut Hersheys that were hard to get. "We can get plenty of the pure chocolate, but if he could get almond puts to make candy with, he replied, "Oh yes, there is no trouble about that; we can get plenty of them."
Since the athletes have the gym floor covered with track material at all hours in the afternoon, the sophomore and freshman basketball women have been playing at noon and eating a quick lunch afterwards, and they are watching the o'clock run across the campus chewing a wienie, knowing ones would probably say she was a basketball player trying to make a one-thirty class.
A third dealer seemed to have the most plausible reason for the shortage. "There was a strike among the employees two weeks ago, and it made the product scarce for a little while," he explained.
conclusion: There was a shortage in Horses recently, from some counties.
It is high time that we decide who is to be the next president of the United States. If this question is not settled before spring elections and before quizzes come on, it is likely slighted for these important matters.
The possibility of international difficulties over the submarine controversy makes it imperative that we should know who is to guide the destinies of the nation for the next four years.

CHAPEL IS TO STAY
Wilson
Mitchell Satisfied With Questionnaire Concerning Daily Religious Service
NO RETURN TO OLD SYSTEM
No Hope For 10:30 o'Clock
Hour
"There is no chance that chapel will ever be returned to 10:00 o'clock because of the abuses that it suffered at that hour, and I think it is extremely probable that the chapel hour will continue at 8:00 o'clock next year. If we return it will continue o'clock the rest of this year," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell this morning, chairman of the chapel committee.
"Chapel has always been a question both from the standpoint of professors and students. On the faculty there is a great deal of objection from some of the members to 8:00 o'clock classes. Some of the faculty members who refuse to take 8:00 o'clock classes will take classes at 8:30, and I think it is the same with the student body.
"I am not disappointed in the returns of the questionnaire because it reflects the sentiment of the student body very well. Those who are interested in the subjects, their views, whether for or against, and those who did not return their cards showed that they were indifferent. At any rate the cards brought chapel to the attention of every student in the school, and that is the their thing we desired."
A mistake was made in the report of the returns of the chapel vote. As it really stands 400 voted, 150 were willing to support chapel at 8:00 o'clock by attending, 100 were in favor of chapel at 8:00 but could not attend, and 150 were scattered in their opinions.
Many Freshman have been very successful in collecting their memorial dues, if one can judge by the number of tags that are worn on the campus. A green tag with the words "My Memorial Dues are Paid" is given to every freshman who has been appointed to the final sum. Tom Pringle, president of the class, said today that dues will be collected the remainder of the week. The amount collected is to be deposited with the Registrar. Each year the amount collected from the fund by the end of their senior year, they hope to have enough to buy a substantial memorial to leave to the University.
Many Freshmen Pay Dues
Mu Phis Have Party
The birthdays of Grace Bella, Viola Jones, and Mildred Thrall were the occasion for a delightful dinner party at the Mu Phi Epsilon house Wednesday evening. The three birthday anniversaryes came so near St. Patrick's Day, that the color scheme was green, the lighting of the room was white and the white cakes were decorated with green birthday candles. After the banquet dinner, the three honor guests gave a short musical program.

LENT FURNISHES EXCUSE
FOR 100 K. U. WOMEN
Lent is here, and with it come another albi for the girls to offer unwelcome admirers who seek dates. The season, which starts in April, is one of the oldest and most important seasons of the church year. It will last until Easter Sunday, April 23. In theory the forty odd days of Lent are meant to represent the final fasting in the wilderness. In order to make the season seem real to the 20th century christian, both the Catholic and Episcopal churches ask of their members abstinence from wine and grape juices and on certain days fasting.
U. University statistics show that K. U. has nearly one hundred young women members in the two churches. So don't be peeved if she turns you down on a date without confessing that it is because "it's Lent."

GEOLOGY STUDENTS HEAR
OIL AND GAS PROBLEMS
The problems of finding oil and the mistakes which are likely to be made by young geologists, was the subject of a talk given by Dorsey Hagar, members of the club's Oyibc Club Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Haworth Hall.
In his talk Hagar explained that the work of finding oil and gas resides into the discovery of the rocks, which, in the rocky strata of the earth.
Beneath these domes oil and gas collect in sandstone. Taking up the work and the various forms which these structures may assume, he said: "One of the mistakes to which young geologists are prone is the neglect to follow an anticline on a rock surface. Another is the convolution of totally different strata, similar in appearance, on opposite sides of broad valleys. Often the mistake is made of taking erosion slopes for dip slopes of the slope of the rock on the side of anticline." He pointed out the wide difference. It has allowed the California fields and those of Kansas and Oklahoma. He also gave the best location for wells, and the conditions governing pressure and flow.
NEW ASSISTANT COACH
Mr. Hagar, who is the guest of Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, is the author of an authoritative book entitled "Practical Oil Geology." Due to the fact that Paul Teetor, Clay Analist of the University, was out of town, his speech was postponed until March 22.
