Coach Wants all Track Aspirants to Work for the Tiger Meet
SOUNDS CALL FOR TRACK
And now the indoor track season comes to the front. Active work started Monday afternoon and every day from now until the Convention Hall meet with the Tigers, a squad of Kansas can be seen training for the Big Ten. We were out yesterday but more are expected before the end of the week.
In order to get things going right, Captain Reber has issued a call for a meeting of tracksters tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock in the gym. All men who ever took part in track athletics or any who would like to get into the game are urged to attend the meeting. Coaches Hamilton and Pat Sullivan will speak to the men and the work of the season will be outlined. The meeting will be held in the room northeast of the basketball court.
PLACES FOR NEW MEN
Although there are a number of old men back and the prospects for a good team are bright, there will be openings for several new men. Every man to be given a chance and with the fast competition that is expected the ones that make the team will have to be good.
The first meet that is scheduled at the present time is with the Kansas Aggies on February 21. However, Manager Hamilton states that he will schedule a meet with Bill Hargais' Emporia Normals or on Monday in January. The Aggle meet will be followed on Feb. 26 by the K. C. A. C. invitation meet. Every man who has been showing any speed at all will be entered in this meet, including freshmen who will be entered unattached. This will be the last meet before the Missouri-Kansas affair which will season unattended games until they have a chance in the Western Conference indoor meet to be held one week later.
"I would like to see as many men out at this meeting as possible," said Captain Reber this morning. "We want the fellows to know what we are going to do, and we will try to get to get as much spirit as possible to get men into track. We have a good season ahead and there are many chances for new men to make good this year if they will only come out. Every man who can do something at all in track should be out at this meeting and stay out all season."

SOUTHERN ROMANCE
The Witching Hour, the Dramatic Club Play, Will be Presented January 12
"The delicate otar of mignomette,
is all that tells of our presence—yes,
it's all that tells of our presence—yes,"
their mouths closed.
All the fascination and charm of a story filled with sentiment and superstition is to be found in "The Witching Hour" which is to be given by I. Drewery (1873) and By 12. By this little bit of verse, recalling the visions of an old love, and linking it with conditions and persons of the present, an旧 bache'or judge on the supreme berch of the court, to the tide that threatens to stifle a young romance.
The plot is complete in detail and intensely interesting. The scene is found in Kentucky at the present day, while the title of the play, 'The Judge,' has been set to an old superstition of the Judge as to the appearance of his sweetheart in a certain room every night at two o'clock.
"I am well satisfied with the work of the cast thus far," said professor MacMurray this morning, "and I can assure the students that they will see one of the finest plays ever produced." Not only is the play one of the finest I have ever read, but the cast is well picked to handle the parts.
A Poetry Club has been organized at Michigan. The society has a twofold purpose—to revive student interest in literature, and to bring prominent writers to that University. Such an effort will be needed by Markham and James Whitcomb Riley will be invited to Ann Arbor to deliver lecturers.
From Other Campuses
The fraternities on the campus at the University of California will be prohibited from building new houses costing over $25,000, according to a pass passed by the Board of Trustees of the University at a recent meeting.
A course in military training is offered to students of the College of Agriculture at Cornell. The practice work will be supervised by Lieut. C. F. Thompson, U. S. A., commandant of the Cadet Corps.
Sixteen runs have been held in the history of intercollegiate cross-country running, and of these Cornell has won fourteen, Harvard and Yale
completing the number by winning one apiece. A table of the victories follows: 1899, Cornell; 1900, Cornell; 1901, Yale; 1902, Cornell; 1903, Cornell; 1904, Cornell; 1905, Cornell; 1906, Cornell; 1907, Cornell; 1908, Cornell; 1909, Cornell; 1910, Cornell; 1911, Cornell; 1912, Harvard; 1913, Cornell; 1914, Cornell.
A real low brow will soon go to the University of Washington. A skull with a flattened brow, whose owner belonged to a tribe of Indians on the Columbia river, has been given to the museum as an important artifact in the Museum. It was the tribal custom of these Indians to bind a board on the head of the little papoose and let it remain until the child was about three years old. By that time the front of the board would be plausible flatness up to the minute according to the style of the tribe.
Freshmen at the University of Colorado break rules under penalty of being deprived of citizenship. The rules aren't so very easy to keep either.
Besides wearing the postage stamp cap, all freshmen are compelled to salute professors, and to give right of way on walks to upperclassmen. They are also forbidden the use of tobacco in any form, on the campus, and are required to be on hand to build boulders for any demonstration of the University.
Freshmen are also forbidden to remain seated, while a professor or upperclassman is standing at any university function.
In the season of 1914, football was played according to intercollegiate rules by 450 colleges, by 600 secondary schools, and by 1500 teams, not connected with educational institutions, but which represented organized sports. The thousand games were played by 152-000 players. Estimates place the total number of persons attending football games in the United States, during the 1914 season, at 6,229,000. The largest assembler was at the University of New York where the 72,000 spectators occupied almost 29 miles of seats.
Another great eastern university added its endorsement to the system of numbering its football players for the benefit of the spectators at all big games, when Harvard labeled its players with the distinguishing number 112. The university also decided to take up the practice and will hereafter number her players. The University of Kansas has employed the system for two years.
University Investigators Dis cover Cause of Bad Taste and Odors and Offer Remedy
Loomas Quality Photos
GIVE CITIES PURE WATER
After experiments with agitator wastes from the Standard Oil Refinery at Neodesha, Kansas, the division of water and sewage of the Kansas State Board of Health, situated at the University, has worked out a plan to deodorize the waste, and thus prevent sewer runoff into the lake where the water drawn from the Verdigris River for the city supplies of Cherryvale, Independence and Coffeyville. Complaints from these three towns led an investigation which established the fact that the odors in the water were very similar to those which had been noticed the previous year.

In the winter of 1914-15, the first complaints were received from Independence, Cherryvale and Coffeyville. The preceding season had been exceptionally dry, with no water covered with ice for a long period. The absence of offense during previous periods of normal flow of the river seem to indicate that sufficient rain was applied to washtes by the river water had rendered them inoffensive. Plans for the prevention of the recurrence of the trouble were absolutely necessary, since the water supplies of the three towns had been unfit for use for six weeks.

EXHIBIT ART IN FRASER
Fred R. Hesser, an assistant engineer of the division, was put to work on the problem and he developed an experimental plant which succeeded in treating regularly a small part of the waste water; that is, his experiments, that variations in the methods of operating at the reinery cause great fluctuations in the intensity of the odors and agitator of the waste water; and that under ceramic filters, the flow of the waste water is so slight that it would be completely masked by the minimum flow of the river. He also found that aeration of the waste water after heating will remove a large proportion of the odor and is more effective than over or inunvented kicks or crushed rock.
As a result of the experiment carried on by Mr. Hesser in this line, a plant has been constructed by the Kansas State Board for heating and aerating the waste water. It is operated at a small cost and needs little attention. The results of the experiments, together with plants for the plant at Nodesha, will be submitted to the number of the Kansas State Board of Health Bulletin.
Copies of World's Best Painting:
Shown for Benefit of K. U.
Students
Tittian's "Sacred and Profane Love," and his "Madonna with the Cherries, have replaced the Van Tittian, which were hanging in Fraser Hall.
The showing of these pictures allows the proof of Prof. W. A. Griffith of the department of drawing and painting. The original idea was to allow two of the reproductions of the pictures from the floor room from the department's collection, to hang in Fraser Hall throughout one week, changing them each Monday; thus giving those who never have an opportunity to visit the department on the floor room from the department's building an opportunity to derive some benefit from the collection. Professor Griffith is giving the plan educational value by advancing from simple to more complex studies. While the original plan to change the paintings of the picture carried out, they have been changed from time to time and a sketch telling something of the painter, his work, methods, and the history of the painting has appeared in the Daily Kansan each time the pictures were changed. In the museum, whose office is conveniently located, has requested that the article be posted in the bulletin board beside them so she will not be called upon to tell about the pictures. Professor Griffith has made the same request as Mr. Kansan, persons have come to him for information concerning the pictures.
If the interest justifies it, the plan of showing to all the students some of the finest paintings of the collection will be continued.
To Talk Preparedness
A discussion class under the leadership of Rev. Noble S. Eldikerin of the Congregational Church, for the consideration of preparedness will be organized at the beginning of the second semester. The class will meet once a week at Myers Hall and will be conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The hour for the meeting has not been set.
The class of '08 at the University of Virginia took a notion to start a school of journalism at the university. We found that carrying out of it took just three months. Is there something big which our Illinois class of '08 wants? It could have it by January—with Virtu ill—vim. Alumni Quarterly.
