RESERVED SEATS NOT POPULAR
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PASSES A RESOLUTION.
At the Meeting Yesterday George McCune Won Place on Athletic Board by Vote of 157 to 115.
At the meeting of the athletic association yesterday a motion was made by Ralph Johnson to the effect that the athletic board be requested to instruct the manager of athletics not to reserve any seats in the north bleachers at football games, contending that holders of season tickets were entitled to a seat without extra cost. The motion evidently expressed the sentiments of a large number of students as it carried by a large majority.
The meeting was called for the purpose of filling the vacancy in the athletic board caused by the resignation of Milton Miller. There were two candidates for the place, George McCune winning over Frank Parker by a vote of 157 to 115.
Merle Groene was elected chairman of the rowing committee. There was no opposition.
"DOPESTERS" BUSY TODAY.
Missouri Meets Ames and Iowa the Cornhuskers.
Today is a day of crucial football contests in the Missouri Valley. The leading teams will meet and the results of the games will be the occasion of many a column of dope. Of chief interest to Kansas is the Missouri-Ames game. The Tigers go into the contest today well conditioned and confident of defeating Ames. If they do down the Iowa Aggies they will be on the high road to the championship of the valley; in fact the Jayhawkers alone will stand between them and the goal.
The terrific game between Iowa and Nebraska at Iowa City is also of vital importance to Kansas. Missouri has already defeated Iowa and the Hawkeye showing against Nebraska will be the basis for interesting comparisons.
To Get Election Returns.
A number of Lawrence citizens have made arrangements to secure complete election returns Tuesday night for the benefit of the people of Lawrence and students of the University. The returns will be thrown on a screen on the city Y.M.C. A. building. Both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph bulletins will be secured together with telephone service for local returns. In this way both the local and national fields will be fully covered.
ELECTRIC LINE WANTS ON CAMPUS
Board of Regents Will Give Right of Way to Company—Hoad to Make Survey.
At the meeting of the board of regents yesterday a representative of the Laming street railway company, which has a local franchise to build an electric car line in Lawrence, asked permission from the University to construct their line across the University campus.
It is practically certain that the company will be given the right of way across the campus, but the location of the tracks have not been decided. W.C. Hoad, of the engineering school, was instructed to make some preliminary surveys and the company will be granted the the right of way along the most feasible route. It is probable the car line will enter the campus on the north side and go down the hill on the southeast aide.

GOOD TIME AT THE LAW BANQUET

R. O. Douglas, who presided as toastmaster, "got away with" his share of the function so cleverly as to call forth praise from the old grads. Justice W. A. Benson, Chancellor Strong, Harley Wood, Fred Apt, I. N. Williams, and Fred Wood, '99, and W. H. Piatt, '96, both of Kansas City, were the speakers of the evening.

Yesterday was "Ucle Jimmy day" and the laws enjoyed their fourth annual holiday in honor of their dean.
