TO ADMINISTER LIBRARY
Standing Committee Created by Senate and Budget Apportioned
The University Senate yesterday afternoon approved the recommendation of the special library committee and created a Standing Library Committee which will give special attention to the problems connected with binding. (It was pointed out that there were no libraries unless their officials which have been at the state bindery for months, and no prospect of getting them.)
The Senate also provided a "sets fund" to be administered by the Standing Library Committee which is designed for use in the purchase of "sets" of importance to more than one department. It includes one or more interested departments or to cover the entire cost of the "set."
The library budget of $20,000
(which includes an increase of $5,000
over that of last year) was divided
between schools and departments in
follows.

Zoology Club Elects
The Zoology Club met last nigh and elected the following officers, president, Earl O'Roke; vice-president, Emma Rosses; secretary and treasurer, Beulah Davis. After electing officers, a long discussion was held concerning possible changes in the club's regular program.
Reverend Priest Leads Chapel
Mr. Priest is the father of Walter Priest, junior College.
Rev. Wallace Scott Priest, of the First Christian Church of Wichita, spoke at chapel this morning. He presented two phases to his subject, "Jesus the Teacher," and "Jesus the Companion." The speaker said that as a teacher Jesus was preeminent, and as a companion he would be the friend of anyone who would receive Him.

LARGE NEW SALT BEDS
FOUND IN WESTERN KANSA
The salt beds of Kansas extend farther to the west than has been thought. Boringies for oil and gas in the state have revealed the state of the state have revealed this fact.
A well at Bucklin, which is now 3637 feet deep, passes through a bed of rock-salt several hundred feet thick. Another well at Fowler, though not so deep, has passed through a vein of salt as thick or thicker than that at Bucklin. Owing to these discoveries, it is now thought that the salt vein extends on through the western part of the state.
The eastern extremity of the vein follows an irregular line across the state. There is salt at Wellington, but none at Wichita, then again at Wiltshire, and then at Ellsworth. The thickness of the vein decreases as it extends north.

MANDOLIN TWANGERS TRY
FOR POSITIONS ON CLUR
The Mandolin Club was brought to life again last evening when fourteen aspirants for positions on the club met to show what they could do. Not as many turned out as there should have been, consequently another try-out will be held some time next week.
The organization is under the care of Professor Downing, assisted by Kenneth Shane who played on the club last year. The club will have eight members and anyone who has real musical ability can make it.

Mack Fills Council Vacancy
Now for a New Start
In starting an investigation of the class election, the Council shows itself a friend of student government. Politics have been corrupted at the University. No one denies it. Attempts are made to justify this corruption on the ground that it has always existed and that both sides in every election practice it. If this is true, then the situation is all the worse, and attempts to justify it are all the more deplorable.
Now with the Student Council investigating, every student who wants clean, honest self-government is going to support President Thompson and the Councilmen in their attempts to improve conditions. Everyone agrees that students ought not vote in classes of which they are not members. The majority of students think too much of the honor of their class to allow its offices to be secured by such irregular methods. The sentiment for cleaner politics is here—in abundance. Now is the time for us to wipe off the slate and start over again with a higher ideal of service to our class and to our University.

COUNcil TO INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE CO-OP STORE
Provision was made by the Student Council at its meeting last night for the appointment of a committee by the president to investigate and prepare a report on the possibility of establishing a Co-operative bookstore.
Members of the Council expressed interest in the suggestion, and seemed to favor it. The course to be pursued decided after the committee reports.

Chancellor Strong Will Wait to Comment on Class Election
Fraud
Chancellor Strong, when asked this morning to make a statement concerning the election frauds, refused to comment on the situation, saying that he felt that any expression of opinion would be premature until all the facts and been ascertained.
"I may say, however," added the Chancellor, "that I believe it to be highly necessary that class elections be conducted with honesty and integrity; otherwise it will be impossible to found student government on elections. I am interested in the whole question of student government and I wish very much that all of us should realize the fact that honor and integrity are absolutely necessary in our dealings with each other."

It is rumored on the Hill that Sigma Upsilon, nautical literary fraternity, is going to install a chapter here in the near future. Sigma Upsilon ranks in the class with Phi Beta Kappa. Its members are usually chosen from the junior class. The fraternity was founded at Vanderbilt University in 1906 and since that time has made a steady growth, most of its chapters being in eastern and southern schools.

TO INVESTIGATE ELECTION
Student Council Creates Committee to Inquire into Fraud in Voting
The Student Council will make a thorough investigation of illegal practices in the class elections Friday. This was decided at the meeting last night. A motion was passed that the president of the Council, Leland Thofpson, should be chairman of a committee for investigation, Thomas Hunter and Paul Greuer and Chancey Hunter as the other two members,
Won't Punish
This committee will begin work at once, and according to the expressed determination of its members, will use every means available to determine to what extent fraud was used. The committee will meet on various plans, will probably invite various students to come before it.
The members of the Council will not attempt to punish in any way those who voted illegally, judging from the talks made last night. It was suggested, however, that they be disenfranchised. Most of the talk centered around the exposures in the second year voting, and whether or not the investigation will be carried to other classes was not specified.
Further reports of irregular election procedure have come to the Kansan since yesterday. Only one of these has been verified—that of a freshman, Bernard Jensen, who voted as a sophomore under the name of Arnold, after voting in his own class. The Kansan will leave further investigation to the Council committee, but will publish any substantiated information of unfair voting that is presented to it. Several second year men with freshman credit hours voted as sophomores, the Kansan learned.
A New Election?
Several reports of third year irregularities have been heard. These the Kenken has made no attempt to verify information will be given to the committee.
Just what course the Council will pursue is debatable. The Kansan has established, bey- fair voting was done. Whether the Council will consider the information available sufficient to cause a new election would be revealed, but that suggestion was freely made by Councillor last night.
The investigating committee will be hampered in its work by the loss of the voting lists. According to Paul Greaver, one of the judges, these lists disappeared from the table at the polls on the day of the election.
Student Has Typhoid Fever
Suffering from an attack of typhoid fever, Clara L. Danglade, a freshman in the College, was removed Saturday night to her home in Webb City, Mo. She will be compelled to give up her studies for the rest of this semester. She was taken home by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Danglade who made a special trip to Lawrence for the purpose.
Louis Puckett, who was a freshman in the College last year became interested in the newspaper game in his home town, Galena, last summer, and as a result he is not back in school this year. Puckett expects to finish school later.
Petitions for the two vacancies on the College Administration, those of secretary and vice-president, will be received by the president of the Student Council up until Monday noon. The election will be held Wednesday uoon in Fraser Hall chapel.
Miss Rita Jenkins, formerly of the University, is teaching in the Perry, Kansas schools this year.
"Eck" Alexander, a member of the 1915 law class, was visiting in Lawrence Tuesday.
