Ireland Submits Plans to Enlarge Future Work of Student Book Exchange
PERMANENT HOME LATER
Board of Administration Asked to Help Further Scheme
The students' book exchange is to have quarters of its own by the end of the semester, if the plans of Neal Ireland and his committee materialize. They are also making plans to enlarge it into a general supply store for permanent building erected especially for the purpose in the future.
As soon as the Student Council passes upon the plans, they will be submitted to the State Board of Administration. They will be asked to provide a suitable place for immediate use at the campus, probably in Fraser Hall.
Following is the draft of plans that is to be presented to the Board:
1. The control of the store shall be vested in a board of directors, which shall consist of the president of the Men's Student Council, and two face-masked officers appointed by the Chancellor (or Senate) The Chancellor shall be member ex-officio.
2. The management of the store shall be vested in a manager, appointed by the board of directors, which manager shall be paid on a commission basis. He shall have full charge of the details of the business and shall provide his own help which consist only of University students.
3. The capital of the store shall be provided through the sale of stock in the store, which stock shall sell at $1. a share. (The capital stock shall be limited to $1000. Any faculty mem- ber of Kansas, and any student of the University of Kansas shall be entitled to purchase stock*in the store.)
5. Only purchases of 25 cents and over will be recorded for a dividend, and the dividends will be declared on the basis of the amount purchased
4. Books shall be sold at the regular market rate, and on May 15th of each year the dividends shall be declared, and the year's profits of the store rebated to the stockholders and the purchasers.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 25, 1916.
6. Rebates will be made to all purchasers of books, at the co-op store but the rate of rebate made to new stock is one half that made to stockholders
Must Register To Vote
7. All profits remaining after a dividend of 15 per cent has been declared, shall be placed in a sinking fund, which shall be for the purpose of creeding a building for a permanent Co-op store.
Students as well as other citizens a lawrence must be registered in order to vote in the coming, municipal election, according to City Attorney Tom Blake this last year and has not changed his residence he need not register again.
Only those students, however, who live in Lawrence or who have declared their permanent residence to be Lawrence can vote in Lawrence. Prof. C. Hall says that one may vote here in state elections and have his ballot sent home.
Don Soxman Improves
Don Soxman, who withdrew from the University last semester on account of a nervous breakdown, is improving slowly. Soxman suffered a severe nervous attack just before the Christmas holidays and has been at his home at 1229 New York street since that time.
FAMOUS EASTERN CIVIL ENGINEER WILL SPEAK
"The Industrial Development of the West," is to be the subject of a popular lecture given by F. H. Newell, head of civil engineering at the University of Chicago, and by E. R. Hall, in Marvin Hall. Mr. Newell was the director of the recent reclamation work, finished in the west under the auspices of the United States Geol. Society, and he will have a large number of slides to illustrate his讲座.
Mr. Newell has made a special study of this question and those who attend the lecture will not only hear many new points about the undeveloped west but an interesting talk by a fine speaker. The lecture will be open to all the University and to the people of Lawrence.
NOTED POET COMING
Seumas MacManus, Journalist Author and Reader to Lecture Monday
TO GIVE IRISH READINGS
"Is the Biggest Speaker of the Year," Hamilton
Seumas MacManus, Irish poet,
journalist and author, will speak in
Fraser chapel Monday afternoon at
4:30 on "Stories of Irish Fairy and
Folk-Lore." He will also give readings
from his own prose and verse.
F. R. Hamilton of the Extension Division has been trying for over a year to secure this noted Irish writer, and only this morning received a telephone call from him that he could be in Lawrence Monday afternoon. Professor Hamilton says that he feels fortunate in securing this speaker at this time and considers Seumas MacManus as one on the Hill this year.
The Irish writer has visited a number of American universities. The Columbia Spectator of Columbia University says of his visit there, "In a series of six lecture-recitals, the spell of his poetry, the enchantment of his prose, his quintet and beautiful tales, he has elicited audiences charmed." The Democratic leader Wisconsin says, "He charmed the University Club dinners with a talk utterly unlike any other literary treat they have ever had."
The latest book to be issued by the Irish author, poet and journalist is "Yourself and the Neighbors." His other books are "In Chimney Corers," "Donegal Fairy Stories," and "The Red Poacher."
Seumas MacManus as a child and youth and young mountain schoolmaster sat at the feet of the Shanacies in bairn turf-fires, and lived the life of the people, till he was saturated to the finger-tips with the Celtic spirit.
MOVIES INVADE SACRED
EDUCATIONAL PRECINCTS
The Chemical Club went to a picture show yesterday afternoon in Fraser Chapel, entitled, "Putting It All Back," which was loaned by the Perth Amboy Chemical Works and although the story was part fictional and somewhat allegorical it gave some facts about the manufacture and uses of formaldehyde.
At this meeting Dr. E. H. S. Bailey delivered an illustrated "enure on the "Agricultural Chemistry" dealing with the modern methods of dealing with smuts by the use of formaldehyde.

Are you going to remain passive and allow every student and faculty member in the University to waste a valuable half-hour every morning next year as they do this?
It all rests with you
I' S U ME WASTED
For ten years morning classes began at 8:00 o'clock; then a half hour was cut off every morning in order that chapel might begin at 8:00 o'clock. The result was that an average of seventy students attended chapel at this time, and the other twenty-eight hundred sleep fifteen minutes later every morning.
The plan of having classes begin at 8:30 o'clock and chapel at 8:00 has not been successful from any standpoint. Chapel at this hour has not reached the students for whose benefit it is intended. The people who attend at 8 o'clock are representatives from organizations who are required to be present and a few religious inclined students who attend for their own pleasure and who would attend at any hour at which chapel were placed.
The price of an 8:00 o'clock chapel has been too great from the standpoint of University incurses to justify its continuation. The price that has been paid is a loss of fourteen hundred hours a week.
But the 8:00 o'clock hour will never attract the average student of the University.
Chapel at any other hour of the day will be as successful as it has been this year at 8:00 o'clock. One hundred and fifty students say that they will attend chapel at 8:00 o'clock—one hundred and fifty students out of nearly three thousand. Would not this many agree to attend at any other hour specified by the committee?
If nothing is to be lost for chapel and everything is to be gained for the University, let us in common sense put classes back to the old hour of 8:00 o'clock.
It is up to you.

YE OLDE COLONIAL TIME
Final Plans Are Worked out for Big All-University Party Tomorrow Night
WILL BE FUN FOR ALL
The final practice for the minute has been held and the finishing touches in the transformation of Robinson Gymnasm into a colonial garden are being rapidly finished in readiness for the second annual All-University party, which will start tomorrow night at 7:30.
Annual Affair In Student Hands
—Faculty Will be Guests
The party is free, and it is the hope of Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, that every student and faculty member of the University will attain non-costume affair and there will be entertainment provided for everyone.
Contrary to the usual order the faculty members will be the guests of the evening and the students the hosts and hostesses. The only members of the faculty in the receiving line besides Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Butterbeer will be Dean and Mrs. H. L. Butterbeer of the School of Medicine, Dean and Mrs. F., J. K. Schmidt of the School of Education. This opportunity will be taken to present these new faculty members to the students. The others in the receiving line will be: Mrs. Eustace Brown, Ray West of the School of Medicine, Willa Schmidt of the School of Fine Arts, C. B. Sykes of the School of Engineering, A. D. Hillman of Law, Gene Cook of the School of Education Homer Herriott of the College and representatives of the Graduate School and School of Education.
The Board of Administration was extended an invitation to attend the party but will not be present.
A COLONIAL SETTING
A colonial garden is what the University people will see when they enter the gym tomorrow night through a latticed old-fashioned archway. The rough edges of the crude gymnasmium and old-fashioned treadlences. In our room, you can be an old fashioned well where the thirsty dancers will find ice cold water. In another corner the guests will be served punch by a delegation of female women and so on throughout the morning building will the colonial setting begin.
The affair may rightly be called the "student Party" an everything will be received line, they have designed the programs and decorations, will make and serve the punch, as floor com- and furnish most of the program.
Illuminated pictures of George and Martha Washington will grace each end of the gymnasium and a large ili- decoration flag will be a part of the decoration names. Red, white and blue will be the painted colors of the decorations.
A floor committee composed of the presidents and secretaries of the four classes will assist in directing the guests to the different points of interest, answer any questions that may arise, and introduce the. The following student委员会. C. A. Randolph Joan Juaqua, J. E. Carolen McNutt, Linus Fitzgerald, Ethel Scott, J. T. Pringle, and Rose Haworth.
The following women dressed in colonial costume will serve punch: Hazel Carson, Nellie Kennedy, Luella Cory, Grace Bell, Evelyn Strong, Cora Gault, Emma Wyland, and Stella Simmons.
The entertainment will start at 7:30 with a program by members of the School of Fine Arts. The ar- ture for this part of the schedule are in the theater of Dean H. L. Butter and some pleasing musical numbers are assured.
Following the Fine Arts program the grand march will take place and it will be followed immediately by the minuet. Over thirty students will take part in this classic dance. It was hoped to have every organization on the Hill represented in this afair, with several groups failed to provide their representative. A successful effort was with Alice Goetz and the others in charge, to get an equal number of Greek and non-Greek students in the minuet.
After the minute the remainder of the evening will be devoted to a social dance, in which all who care to, are made to take part. A snappy program of techno music has been arranged and the University orchestra will furnish the music.
The running track in the gym has been arranged for spectators and those who do not care to dance. There will also be an abundance of seating room on the first floor for those not danced.
The east end of the first floor of the gym has been reserved for the open student coat room and the east door to the student's dressing room. The women guests' dressing room in the west end of the building will be the coat room for the women guests. James Naimiths' office will be used for the women's guests' dressing room.
