NUMBER 70
RAISE STANDARD OF LAW SCHOOL
YEAR'S COLLEGE WORK EN TRANCE REQUIREMENT.
Beginning Next Fall All Students Entering Law School Must Have Been a Year in College.
Beginning next fall all students entering the School of Law of the University must have completed at least thirty hours, or one year's work, in the College Such was the statement given out from the office of the Chancellor this morning.
"The action was taken primarily to raise the standard of the Law School," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "By such a ruling the students in the School will not only enter with a higher education than at present but many will be induced to become candidates for an A. B. degree before entering upon the study of law."
The action was taken by the faculty of the School of Law at a meeting last Friday and resulted in the passing of a resolution requiring all entrants to the School of Law to have at least thirty hours of work credited to them in the College. The resolution was passed at the suggestion of the Board of Regents and the action now goes back to that body for approval.
The new ruling is expected to place the Kansas school on a higher standing that it has yet reached. At the same time it will not affect those students who take the six years' course, completing requirements for both an A.B. and LL.B. in that time.
Gymnasium and hygiene cred its will not be required under the new ruling and thirty hours worl in any first year courses will sat isfy the entrance requirement.

E. Hubac, the soloists for the occasion were Clifford Royer, Rev. J. U. Brush and John Power. There were many chorus parts in the cantata which were very essential in making the harmony of the entire selecion.
Professor Hubach has beer well pleased with the services this year, both in the work of the musicians and the appreciation of the audiences. He is planning for even more elaborate music next year.

KENNEDY AND MOSSE CHOSEN
ATHLETIC BOARD DECIDES
COACH QUESTION.
The Two Men Will Undouble/edly Lead 1911 Squad—Spring Practice Next Week.
The meeting of the Athletic board of the University yesterday afternoon resulted in the conditional rehiring of Bert Kennedy and Arthur St. Leger Mossse to coach the football team of 1910. Although the action is by no means final, there is probably no doubt but that the two men will be the mentors for next season.
Dr. A. R. Kennedy, Football Coach for 1910.
All depends upon the action taken by the delegates of the Missouri valley schools at the football conference which is to be held in Kansas City on April 19. If the rules are not materially changed at that time or the Rugby style of play adopted, then the board decided to tender the positions of coach and assistant to Kennedy and Mosse respectively. However, if the rules* are changed so as to disfigure the game as it is now played at the University further action will be necessary.
Arthur St. Leger Mosse, Re Elected Assistant Coach.
The board took no action or what would be done in such an event and Kennedy declares that he will not coach Rugby for the simple reason that he does not

know the game.
"I see no reason why I should not accept the position of coach, if the rules are not materially changed," said Kennedy last night in speaking of the action of the Athletic board. "However, if the rules committee should make any radical changes that would rob the game of its man to man tactics, then 1 would rather see the University adopt Rugby and 1 would quit coaching."
The matter of salaries was not considered by the Athletic board and it is not expected that salary differences will arise.
"I do not believe that there will be any difficulty over the salary question," said the coach when asked about the matter.
In the meantime the members of the football squad will decide upon a date for the beginning of spring practice work. The time will probably be set for some time next week after the national rules committee meets on the 25th of this month. The practice work will be under the direction of Captain Pleasant and Captain-Elect Johnson. Kennedy and Mosse will be asked to participate to any extent that they may desire.

WILL CONSIDER THE PETITION
TAKE UP FOOTBALL MEETING QUESTION TONIGHT.
All but Two Members of Student Council Favor Calling Meeting of Student Body.
Nine of the eleven members of the Student Council have stated that they favor the calling of a mass meeting of the students of the University for the purpose of considering the football question. Two of the members assert that they do not believe the idea of issuing such a call is a good one.
"The mass meeting will be called," said Edwin Baumgartner, president of the council, this morning, "if it is the wish of the students."
The petition, which will be presented, has been signed by nearly 300 students. The constitution of the Student Council requires a petition signed by only fifty students to call a meeting of that kind, and it is confidently expected that the Student Council will abide by the constitution.
The other members, besides the president, who favor the calling of the mass meeting are: John Harbeson, George A. Neal, Horace Hollingsworth, Earl Woodward, Harold Armshy', Robert Fischer, Edwin Cooley and Roy Dietrich.
Virgil McCarty has stated that he does not favor the movement because he believes the football question is one which the Board of Regents should decide. Fred Hesser is also against the calling of the mass meeting. He says, "I am not in favor of a mass meeting for some hot-headed person will be sure to jump up and make some inconsistent motion which I am afraid might carry."
WESTON MET BY STUDENTS.
About Fifty Met the Walker West of Here.
About fifty students and as many more citizens of Lawrence met Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, two miles west of here, and accompanied him to the Santa Fe depot this afternoon.
He stopped at Lawrence only long enough to drink several glasses of soda water before continuing his journey to Kansas City. He expects to make forty-seven miles today. He started from Topeka early this morning and arrived here at 3:48.
Before leaving Weston made a short speech to 600 students who had gathered at the depot to meet him.
