Smoking is regarded by one part of the student body as a great nuisance and worse, with out a single excuse for existence and by another part of the student body it is regarded as a great pleasure, which is hardless in moderation. There is no chance that the holders of these widely differing opinions can ever be brought to agree. The best that can be expected is a compromise. For that reason it is to be hoped that the Chancellor's recent warning about smoking on the steps and in the approaches of buildings will be taken seriously by all smokers. It seems a fair division of the campus between the smokers and the non-smokers if the former while being given free range of the grounds elsewhere are asked not to smoke in or near buildings. It has been the policy of the University heretofore to make as few rules as possible regulating the conduct of students. Many of the smaller colleges of the state burden students with petty rules. The impossibility of enforcing them in all cases makes for bad discipline. It would be humiliating to students and to all who are connected with the University if a stringent rule should be come necessary in regard to such a comparatively insignificant matter as smoking. The best way to avoid an era of petty rules is to respect the reasonable one the Regents have made about the use of tobacco in or near buildings. The young women of the University make a good point when they claim that a portion of the money which the athletic association derives from the fund of the Associated Student Enterprises should be set aside to provide places of outdoor exercise for women. A large number of the "athletic tickets" are paid for by women. It is true that there are no women's athletics which help to pay the expenses of the athletic association, but it is also true that all men's athletics except football are supported largely by the profits which arise from football. No provision is made by the University for outdoor exercise for the women—except, of course, the exercise of climbing the hill each day. Now the women are asking for some tennis courts, and some way ought to be devised to grant this modest request. The choice which the athletic board has made provisionally in the matter of football coaches for next fall will be ratified by an overwhelming majority of the student body. "Bert" Kennedy and Arthur St. Leger Mosse have made a great record at the University of Kansas. They have developed a wonderful series of winning teams. They have kept the sport on a clean basis, and have made it a good advertisement for the University as much from that fact as from the fact that their teams have been successful. Both Kennedy and Mosse have been here so long that they "belong," and the student body is glad to know that they are to be the football mentors for the season of 1910. If all of Mr. Carter's lectures at the University are to be a broad and inclusive in their scope as was the one last night, it will pay every man in the University to hear him. Some parts of his talk on the "Conflicts of University Men in Many Lands" were well adapted to give students at the University of Kansas an idea of their duties, privileges and opportunities which they are too likely to lose sight of in the prosaic round of study and recitations. HE FAVORS FOOTBALL. Rev. Wolfe Says Students Should Play the Game. "Students in the University should play football," said Rev. H. E. Wolfe, pastor of the Lawrence First Methodist Episcopal church, in his speech in chapel last Friday morning. "It is a healthy, manly sport and I believe in encouraging it. When I see a team of players lined up on the gridiron it makes me want to don the football togs and get out myself." "Students while attending school should not take things too seriously. Now is the best time in your lives and you should take advantage of all of the manly athletics and other recreations which improve the man, morally and bodily, that you can." Yet, Dr. Wolfe argued that the student should not over-step the boundary line and take four years of good times now and perhaps lose forty years of usefulness later. Six new engine lathes are being built at Fowler shops by students who are taking work in connection with courses in engineering there. Every two years a half dozen lathes of that sort are built by the students. The parts are all turned out by the men and later are assembled by a special apprentice. Building Engine Lathes. TO PROMOTE ATTENDANCE Adelphic Society to Suspend Members Who Stay Away. An urgent request that all members be present at the last meeting of the Adelphic literary society before the Easter holidays brought out nine members yesterday afternoon. The nine thought something ought to be done in regard to the lax attendance at the meetings of the society. So they passed a by-law providing that a member who is absent twice in succession, or who twice fails to appear when he is on the program, shall be dropped from the roll of the society.

A novel course in the answering of questions is being carried on in the School of Law of the University. The Capper publications of Topeka, in which the Topeka Capital is included, have departments devoted to the answering of questions which have a legal bearing. These inquiries are sent to Dean Green of the School of Law and he assigns the questions asked to the seniors, who take great pains in obtaining the correct answers. Often times a student will spend three days in gathering the correct information, which may take but two lines in print. These answers are then sent back to the papers which publish them. Information is asked by people not only from this state but from all over the country. The advantage in such a system is either for the man whose proposition i not important enough to take to a lawyer, or for the one who can not afford to employ a lawyer. Lee Hoffman, sophomore in the College, spent the week-end in Rosedale visiting Earl Padfield, a junior in the School of Medicine.

Spoke on "Conflicts of College Men."—To Lecture Again Tonight at Seven. In his address last night in the chapel on "Conflicts of College Men in Many Countries," E. C. Carter began with a discussion of the special struggles which some foreign students have against poverty and adverse political conditions. He mentioned particularly the young men of Turkey and Russia and one sacrificing Brahmin who had been a personal friend. As equally affecting the American college man, Mr. Carter spoke of the temptation to indifference. To yield to it eventually means moral death to the student here, as well as to the one having a discouraging environment. In speaking of the conflicts with selfishness, the speaker made a strong presentation of the value of true friendship. He told also of how superficiality was sure to weaken even an otherwise strong college man. He referred briefly to the conflict of religious doubt which he will discuss more fully this evening in his address, "The Drift From Doubt." Chancellor Strong will preside again tonight and the meeting will begin promptly at 7 o'clock as it did last night. The music, which is led by Professor Hubach, was a special feature. The musical part of the program tonight will include solos by John Powers and Fred Hesser. Many Had Dutch Lunch. The third benefit for the Y. M. C. A., given in the form of a "Dutch Market," at the Kappa house Saturday, was much enjoyed and well attended. The requisites of a Dutch lunch were procured at beautifully decorated booths at which "Dutch" maidens presided. The market was open from 5 to 7 o'clock to the young men and women of the University and their friends. Miss Ethel Chalkley, a special in the College last year, spent Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence.
