COUNCIL INCOME MEAGER
Treasurer Reports Organization in Need of Sources to Derive Necessary Funds
That the income of the Men's Student Council is hardly sufficient to keep pace with the expenditures of the organization, has been pointed out in the report given by Howard Adams who is treasurer. The chief difficulty seems to lie in the fact that the Council has not enough sources from which to derive its income.
Besides getting money made from the Council dances, the treasury receives income of seventy-five cents election fees from every candidate participating in University elections; ac artained fellowships; the Cap and Gown committee, senior invitations, the Senior play and the Jayhawk.
Last year the Council received eighty dollars from the Senior play but nothing from either the Jayhawker or the Cap and Gown committee, as the proceeds of the latter went to the Senior play. Because this year financially are not as successful as had been hoped.
The expenses of the Council seem to be rather heavy. Last year it assumed the responsibility of paying off the five hundred dollar debt incurred by the Student Union. Up to date, all but eighty-two dollars and sixty cents has been paid. This debt has been a continual drain on the treasury. Besides this, the expenses of various football rallies and smokers must be defrayed by the Council.
"The Men's Student Council cannot expect to undertake plans involving any considerable expenditure of money, for a while," said Howard Adams, "until it has paid off all old debts. Whether a student organization can handle money successfully is being constantly questioned and if we pay this debt dollar for dollar, we will be able to get credit whenever we want it."

They sang it together with the other two horses until they were too house to sing and then they yelled it. The Dutch Company was returning from Manhattan; Kansas had won and everybody was happy.
No one knows the exact moment at which the Company was born. The song that goes with the organization was heard on the platform at Manhattan before the special pulled out. Later the charter members gathered together in the smoking car and the song was heard again. It took and ended up being included in all the students in the car, Professors Merle Thore, H. A. Rice and C. A. Dykstra, who were along, were elected honorary members.
Every time the train pulled into a town the populace was treated to a vociferous rendition of the "Dutch Company." When the special pulled into the station at Lawrence the members on the car were lined up and waiting to yell their song of victory to all those who were awake to hear it.
PROF. TWENHOFEL EXPLAINS
State Geologist Gives Supplementary Information on Obtaining Ground Water
Professor Twenhofel, state geologist, gives the following statement to clarify certain points in an article in the Kansan of October 20, which are liable to misinterpretation:
"Clays are the most impervious of rocks, and if free from cracks they neither let water in nor out, expect perhaps to an inappreciable degree. In dry weather, however, clays are apt to crack open to considerable depths and along these cracks sewerage readily passes from place to place. Hence, shallow wells in clay deposits are quite apt to become contaminated by sewerage. Fine and medium sands excellently filter the water. Cracks are not apt to remain open, filling almost as soon as formed.
Coarse sands and fine gravel also do not crack, but as their porosity is apt to be great, water coming from such rock, particularly if the rock be close to the surface, should be regarded with suspicion. Limestone are about the poorest rocks from which to obtain ground water, as limestones have widely open cracks and solution passages through which water flows in about as readily as it can on the surface of the ground. In the vicinity of the cities ground water should not be used if it comes from limestones and the danger is greater, the larger the flow.
"In the city of Lawrence the clays and the limestones lie near the surface, that is, they are not covered with a heavy coating of river deposits. The limestones are badly cracked and where the clays approach the surface they are likewise cracked in dry weather. As a consequence most of the water in the shallow wells is open to suspicion.
In the bottom on the north side of the river the limestones and clays have been cut out by the Kansas river to greater depths than on the south side, and the places from where they were taken have been filled with the fine sand and gravel, the former overlaying the latter, so

that the water reaching the latter is fairly well filtered in its passage through the fine sand.

LAW KEPT SOONERS FROM
RIDING IN CATTLE CARS
Norman, Oct. 22—Interstate Commerce Commission rulings interfered with the sending of five hundred Sooner rosters to Dallas in box cars. An attempt was made to secure four or five cars to be attached on the "Red Ball" freight which passes through Chicago. It was found that the guardians of the railroads would not allow the excursion. Two dollars was the rate which it was rumored would be charged, and many were ready to go.

Uncle Jimmy Green has a grouch—and a legitimate one. The other day a young man who was posting cards, advertising the University Lecture Course strolled into the School of Law, and there not being any available space on the bulletin board, tacked one of his cards on the wall of the building, the tacks penetrating deen into the plaster.
"I If I find out who did it," said Dean Green, "I shall make a complaint before the county attorney and have the young man brought into court on a charge of defacing public property. The case is plainly a flantage violation of the state law. The plaintive band which the tacks were driven has been good and may fall at any time. I want to give warning that any further actions of a similar nature will be dealt with severely."
The first student to receive a certificate showing the completion of the correspondence course in the Theory and Practice of Advertising, as offered through the Correspondence Study Department of the Extension Division, is not as was stated in Friday's issue of the Kansan, John Milton but is John Milton Henry of Macedonia, Iowa.
