TRACK TEAM PREPARES
Work Overtime Getting Ready for Track Battle With Tigers.
JAYHAWKS ARE WORRIED
See Cause For Fear in Result of K. C, A. C. Meet
The track squad is working double time, although the meet does not come off until March 17 when they meet the Missourians in Convention Hall.
It will take considerable training for the track men to get in shape for the big meet. Everything looks rosy in the Jayhawker camp after the one-sided victory over the Kansas Aggies. The showing of Schultz's Missourians in the K, C, A, C, meet Saturday night, has caused coaches alike to worry. At the present time the feeling of a sure victory has all blown over and now the chances for any kind of a victory are dwindling.
MISSOURI IS STRONG
Missouri is strong in, the Kansas weak spots and also strong in the Kansas strong spots. There are few events in which Schulthe can not a man that is making as good time as any Kansan has been able to make this year. That is why Schulthe can count on Bob Simpsonyator over the wonderful Loomis, and Daggy, for places in both hurdles while the same pair will give any Kansan a hard race for a place in the dashes. With these points going to Missouri, he has got to do some work in the other places of the meet to keep the score down.
NIEDORP AFTER RODKEY
That is not all that Missouri can count on. Niedorp is getting into shape and he can be depended upon to be at his best for the big moment. O'Leary a hard race in the quarter mile as he did last year when he defeated Rodkey, Wyatt, Niedorp's running mate, is out for a second place in this event and may cause a little trouble. The coated Rebe in the shot put in the K. C. A. C. meet and this gives him the edge of the dope for the weight events unless the Jayhawker captain can pick up a little within the coming week in the pole vault and in the high jump, since Pittam tied with Leomis and Treweke for second place in the K. C. A. C. meet. This leaves the pole vault and the high jump as doubtful points depending on the individual men at the time of the meet.
DELAN WILL BE GOOD
The distance events look the best for Kansas. If Rodkey is not used in the quarter against Niedorf he will be practically sure of a first against Riordan of Missouri but better pace than he was last week. Fiskie is also figuring on a place in this event. The mile run may turn out to be Kansas points unless Schultz springs a dark horse in the meet or the defense, the veteran Kline agree this year but Grady ought to be able to take a first against him.
Should the meet go down to the relay the prettiest race of a few years will be run. Kansas has a first class relay team this year while Missouri has the same quality of team which it has had for some years. The Kansas relay time in the K-12 meet was waived and Missouri's muscoviers had the mile relay, but that does not mean that Kansas can win in the meet three weeks later.
Kansas is hopeful and the training of the next two weeks will make a lot of difference on the outcome of the race. Every man is working and working hard and as soon as the Pony decorating company arrives the tractors will make things live in the gym for a couple of weeks.

HAS STORE OF IDEAS FOR
NEXT COLONIAL PARTY
Colonial parties were not dismissed from the mind of Mrs. Eustace Brown when the second annual festival came to an end last Saturday night. She still has a store of ideas which she intends to put into practice next
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 2, 1916
A pageant of colonial times is what Mrs. Brown hopes to present to the University public next February. The representation will be more elaborate than any of the previous parties by the spirit of the students at UCSB, which has convinced Mrs. Brown that the idea can be successfully carried out.
The adviser of women has a source for obtaining the necessary costumes and pharaonalia - but has done nothing in working out the details of the plan.
STAND PIPE IS UNSAFE
Engineers Claim Mt. Oread Structure May Fall—Fire Protection Inadequate
The standpipe on Mt. Orca is in danger of being blown down, and would also be worthless in case of fire, according to the report of the fire inspector, Chas. E. Eldridge of Toneka.
The report further states that the present location of the city pumping station is unprotected from floods, and leaves the city open to dangerous fire, and owing to the inefficiency of the equipment, the system of pipes, the Lawrence fire department, must of necessity, be unable to control a large fire.
Mr. Eldridge had experienced engineers inspect the system and they report that the water is so full of sediment that it is inadequate for fire protection. The sediment collects in the pipes and lowers the pressure in the outlying districts, making it impossible to raise the pressure in our bursting pipe near the seawater. They recommend a filter to take the sediment out of the water. They also say that the branch pipes should be larger, the main pipes should have valves, and the street hydrants should be closer together.
ENGINEERS TO GET JOBS
Denver Gas and Elec. Co. Repre sentative Interviews Seniors
Mr. M, J. Dix of Denver is making Marvin Hall his headquarters for the last two days of this week interviewing the senior Engineers with a view of hiring them for the coming year for the Denver Gas and Electric Company. Mr. J. Dix is the head of the company maintained by that company at its headquarters in Denver, and this year he intends to hire fifty young men graduates from the larger universities and technical schools over the country. It is his desire to choose twenty of these men from the universities west of the Mississippi river to bring young men in all phases of central station work, and places them in good positions in the company's large force of employees.
The meetings yesterday were all well attended, the afternoon meetings in Fraser Hall being especially attractive. The motion to establish an organisation and of vital interest to all of the electricals and a large number of mechanicals and civils as well. The chemicals came in to a body to hear the lecture on the Carbondale Products and Dry Cells" by Carl Hamilton of East St. Louis.
After so much fussing and fretting by both chapel committee and students as to whether or not chapel should be continued, the University Debating Society has taken it into its hands to settle the question once and for all. The subject for tonight is "What should that chapel should be abolished." Those taking the affirmative are: E. C. Barba, and E. W. Wutnow. The negative will be defended by E. J. Gopert and G. B. Shumber.
R. L. Grider, instructor in mining addressed the Mining Journal Club Wednesday afternoon on the subject of "Mining Concentration and Metallurgy of Vanadium Ores in New Mexico." He reviewed the geological history of the deposits and described the mining and milling processes. Mr Grider also explained why it is important for the removal of copper and iron, and the use of metallic aluminum in the final reduction if the vanadium.

TELLS OF AIM OF W.A.A.
Prof. F, C. Dockeray, assistant professor in psychology, is preparing to perform some experiments on young mice, as soon as the weather will permit. He will use twelve white mice, six of which he will feed as usual. The teacher will be given a highly prepared food. A week or ten days afterward he will examine them to see which are the stronger.
The first that was known of the accident was yesterday morning when the professor was carried to his home, 1623 Vermont Street by two students who left without giving their names or any explanation of how or where they found the injured man.

Dr. Goetz Says It Is To Develop Spirit of Democracy Among Women
BANQUET SET FOR MAR. 11
Hope For 500
200 Tickets Have Been Sold—
"The purpose of the banquet given by the Women's Athletic Association on March 11 is to boost the community spirit, to increase companionship, to make each woman for a vital part of K. U." Dr. Alice Goetz.
"In fact these are the very things for which our association stands. The principal thought in its organization was not to make a division of sports games and sports to arouse a wholesome K. U. spirit among the women.
"If through interest in sports, the women come to have a deeper sense of college life the athletic association brings to them for their purpose. The Y. W. C. A. through a religious atmosphere, reaches many of the K. U. women, while we, through the recreative spirit, reach out for the which is in itself almost a religion."
"The small boarding-houses do anything but foster a democratic spirit. There are too many of the type who pass you on the stairs with averted faces. Some women, however, have a fine K. U. spirit and a breadth of vision that is wonderful, but there are not enough to broaden and splendid things. Too many are missing the broad and splendid things we come through. To boost her basketball team, to back up the hockey players, to give one good hearty cheer will do a remarkable lot of good to any girl's constitution."
This banquet of March 11th is the first big attempt of the Women's Athletic Association and great interest has already been shown. Over 200 tickets have been sold by the district leaders of the Women's and prospectals locks promoting for the banqueters. After the big spread the evening program will be started by Miss Pratt's referee whistle and the freshies and sophomore basketball teams will try out for the trophy cup awarded to the winners by A. D. Carroll, W. Cate aesthetic dress look promising at the brunts, by numerous numerals by the W. A. W. will precede the nine o'clock dance which the men can attend if the women use their leap year privileges.

First observe the time of the clock on Blake Hall. This seems foolish.
Ascertain the hour as announced by the timepiece in Fraser Hall. Then view the clock in Spooner Library.
Then stop. Add up these varying time records and divide the total by 3. From the quotient thus observed deduct three minutes consumed in the calculation. The result suit will be the correct time, for the law of averages is no gamble.

MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN ON
Tag Day For All Classes-Every Student Is To Be Touched
The president and the chairman of the memorial committees of the four classes have planned a big memorial campaign beginning next Tuesday morning and lasting throughout the week. The plan is Blondie Jones's president of the junior league, his big Memorial Week Campaign was worked out and will probably be adopted this week by the authorities in the four classes.
The freshmen will wear green tags showing that they have paid their dues. The members of the other classes, likewise, will wear tags of different colors for different classes. To accomplish this, possess a tag will be sought out by some member of the different memorial committees next week.
"Heterofocus," said Blondie Jones, "the classes have had no well-worked-out and systematic plan of collecting their memorial dues and, as a result, trouble has usually been caused in collecting senior students to make a big campaign. We are going to make a big campaign and get our memorial dues for this year collected."
C. A. Randolph, president of the senior class said, "Such a campaign will undoubtedly be a good thing. The senators are for it strong. I am sure every loyal student will get behind the proposition and push. I can vouch that Harold Mack, chairman of the senior committee, is in favor of it."
Linus Fitzgerald, president of the sophomore class, declared, "I am glad of the opportunity to help in a big way." I will be done in this than in any other."
Thomas Pringle, acting president of the freshman class said, "This will allow me an opportunity to see all the freshmen for their dues."
LECTURE ON "INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT" SATURDAY
"I want to impress on the minds of the student body and the professors of the University," said Dean P. F. Walker, in discussion of the lecture for Saturday morning "that it will be a long time before we hear a finer lecturer than F. H. Newell, who will speak on 'The Industrial Development of the West' next Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. Newell is probably better posted on this subject than any other man in the United States, having spent several years in research with Mr. Cook, the direction of the United States Geological Survey, giving special study to this phase of the question.
"Mr. Newell is not only an authority on his subject, but he is prepared to take the slides made from pictures taken by himself, especially for this speech. He is a fine speaker and a fine man to be as being an authority on engineering."
Mr. Newell is at present the head of the civil engineering department of the University of Illinois at Champaign.

CABS AND FLOWERS TABOO
Uncle Jimmy Tells How Custom Was Started
If you have ordered cabs or flowers for the Junior Tom from tomorrow night you may as well cancel the order, for according to Prom Managers Foster and Friend cabs and flowers will be under the ban.
DECORATIONS PARISIENNE
The grand march will begin promptly at 8:30 no matter how many are on hand, so it will pay to be there in plenty of time. The dancing will be moderately quick and the dance may mediate after the grand march. The time usually given over to the farce will be spent this year in dancing, for in place of the farce the management has engaged two cabaret singers and dancers who will entertain during the dance. The dance will come during dances 6, 7, and 8, 11, 12, and 13, and 16, 17 and 18.
The decorations of Robinson Gymnasium where the Prom will be held will probably be the most striking ever seen on that floor. They will be entirely of black and white, the walls and ceilings being covered to affect the "ball room parisienne" eight foot room furnished to宪刷 the for twenty-four dances banked behind more black and white decorations in the middle of the dance floor.
GOVERNOR AND BOARD HERE

The managers of the Prom this year are looking for an attendance of between four and five hundred including about twenty-five students have been out with receipts looking for underclassmen who have not paid their tuition in the larger crowds in the history of the Junior Prom is expected this year.
SENIORS SUPPORT PLAY
Plea of Committee Brings Out Thirty For Places In Show
The plea made by the senior play committee had its effect, and thirty seniors were present at the tryout held in Green Hall yesterday afternoon.
"This makes it unnecessary to take underclaassen," said Don Burnett, chairman of the committee. "At first there was little interest shown, but you must have joy! I believe the so-called will take hold and help make the play a success."
The last general tryout was held yesterday, but special tryouts for the different parts, and especially for the leads, will be held this week. Rehearsals will start the first of next three weeks to continue about three times a week.
The cast will be announced soon after the special tryouts and a summary of the play will be given at the same time.
