UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Now that the Big Grind
is over and you have survived, it would be a good idea to relax for a few days. Take it easy, visit around some, smoke up a little and read some good magazines.

ALL-UNIVERSITY SOCIE
COMMITTEE ORGANIZED
The new all-university social committee met for the first time last night in Room 101 Fraser Hall and organized for future business. Hunt University 17 Colleges was selected as chairman of the new organization, which consists of delegates elected from the Men's Student Council, W. S. G. A., Pan-Indian Councils, and the "48 member of the various class committees."
The committee did take up any other business, the organization last night, but will be working on the matter of 12 o'clock closing and the regulation of student social functions. Plans of the new committee will all be made in conjunction with Professor Brown, Adviser of Women.
MEET NORMAL IN TRACK
Bill Hargiss to Bring His Squad to Mount Oread on February 7.
HAMILTON NEEDS MEN
At last Manager Hamilton comes forward to announce that the much-ought-after track meet has been scheduled. Bill Hargiss' Emporia Normals will come to Lawrence Feb. 7 for a meet with the Kansas track team on Monday. This is the same night which was offered to the K. C. A, C but refused.
Coach Could Use Sprinters and Weight Men Especially
As soon as the worst part of the quizzes are over the track men will get down to work more regularly than ever before. They must only two weeks remain in which to get in good shape for the meet and the veterans know that one has to work mighty hard to get in shape in two weeks. But most of the men are too tired to be on their way to their best before the Normalites make their visit.
The strength of the Normal team is unknown. At least no one around Lawrence seems to know what Hargill will spring on his former school, But Hamilton has warned him that they need not look for an easy meet. On that basis the coaches and team are going to prepare for any damn-sham truant to luck that it will be good enough to defeat the Normals.
But the situation around the Gym is not in the least rosy. The distance men are the only ones who can be trained at the gym to meet. Most of them are making time around their marks last year and expect to lower those records before the allotted two weeks are up. Rodkey especially is in good shape and has a valuable record for the Robinson cork. Grady has a record of 4:45:4 for the mile already this season and expects to lower that before long. Statcheter holds the sea-horse for the two mile run in 10:23 but Grady is due to lower that mark today.

NEEDS SPRINTERS
But the worry of the coaches is not in regard to distance men, excepting quarter-milers. What Hamilton needs especially is material for the sprints; hurdles, weights and pole vaults. He will need them. There are a few trying for places on the team in this department but not enough to please the instructor. This was a woe not in the 1915 squad and a win will be spent in
ma- the team this year since intends to withdraw at, end of the first semester. Campbell, of pole vaulting fame, will go to Rosseald to complete his med-course course in a good valuer is needed to top into league. bell will still be eligible for participation in K. U. athletics and may get to Lawrence for practice as well as for the meets. Several "high steppers" are after the hurdle jobs but at the time none have the places chnched.
RACE WITH AGGIES NEXT
This meet Feb. 7 will get the men in good condition for the Aggie meet Feb.
21. This second meeting will be a stiff
one and will require the Jayhawkers every effort to win. It will be held on the Manhattan track which will doubtless prove as much of a disadvantage to the Kansans as the Robotars did to the Farmers last fall.
"Surely in a student body of this size there are more track men than are out now. If any student has any ability along this line he is only hurting the University by not coming out. If he is not good enough to get on the team he will at least make the other fellow work a little harder."

"We need more mien out for track," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "There are lots of chances for new men to make the team this year and it is not too late to get in the indoor meets. The first meet might come soon for the new men but they should remember that we have a complete set of rules we must follow to see men out especially for the sprints, pole vault, hurdles, and weights. We can also use some more distance men.
