UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 28,1909
APPOINT NEW PROFESSOR
DR, E. H. SCHORER A MEMBER OF MEDICAL FACULTY.
Will Take Place of Dr. Emley—ls Graduate of University of Wisconsin.
E. H. Schorer, of Plymouth, Wis., was yesterday appointed assistant professor of bacteriology and pathology in the University to take the place of Dr. S. C. Emley who has a two years' leave of absence as lecturer for the State Board of Health.
Dr. Schorer is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. He has taught in the medical school of the University of Missouri, but has lately been studying in the Rockefeller Institute and at Johns Hopkins.
HAVE LARGER QUARTERS.
Hospital Can Accompade More Patients Than Last Year.
The University Hospital Association has engaged the house at 1134 Ohio Street for hospital purposes this year. Mrs. Hobson will keep the house, and Miss Lotus Lentz will again act as nurse. Three rooms are being fitted up, and in an emergency six patients could be accommodated at once. As there were never more than two at any one time last year, this is considered very ample. The house will be ready in a few days.
"We like our new location very well," said Professor W. J. Baumgartner today. The house we had last year was desirable for its isolation and quiet, but it had no gas or water connections, and our present situation is undoubtedly more convenient.
"What we most need now is a larger membership in the Association. We have at present about 350 members, about the same number as at this time last year, but the membership canvass has not yet been made. It will be undertaken soon and we expect a large increase in our membership at that time. Last year the Association had 750 members."
Dr. Chambers will continue as the Association physician. Members should consult him at the old hours, from 8 to 10 a.m., in the gymnasium.
Cooley Club Met.
The Cooley Debating Club of the school of Law met Friday and took in new members. The following officers were elected for this year: President, Frank Rayfield; vice-president, G.F.Hill; Secretary, G.A. Spencer; Treasurer, Ed Cooley; Sergeant-at-arms, D.E. McCrory. The representatives on the Debating Council will be Roy J. McMullen and H.L. Woods.
The annual French play given by the students of the French classes will be held early in the spring. The instructors of the department will decide the play in the near future.
ROOTERS CLUB ORGANIZED.
One Hundred Membership Already
-Megaphone the Requirement.
The move toward the organization of a Rooters Club for the University of Kansas which was started yesterday by Ralph Spotts, this year's cheer leader, is meeting with considerable success. By noon today more than one hundred students had signed up for one of the megaphones which is being made the initiation fee into the club. By taking a large number of the megaphones they can be secured for twenty cents instead of twenty-five cents, the regular price.
The entire section of the north bleachers west of the band stand has been reserved for the Rooters Club. In speaking of the new organization Spotts says,"The membership ought to reach at least five hundred. Other schools have done it and we can do it here. We owe it to the team and to our Alma Mater."
REGENTS WILL MEET.
Important Questions to Be Decided Next Thursday.
The Board of Regents will hold a meeting Thursday at which several important items will be transacted. The board will decide the route of the street car line across the campus, inspect the new geology and mining building to see whether it is in condition to be accepted by the University, and will look over preliminary plans for the first wing of the new administration building. The work of excavating for the new building will begin in a short time.

TWO CLASSES ELECT OFFICERS
SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMAN CAMPAIGNS ENDED TODAY.
Albert LeMoine Is Sophomore President, and Adrian Morgan Heads First Year Class.
At the sophomore election held today noon Albert Le Moine of Concordia and captain of last year's track team was elected president of the class. The fight was between the "Square Deal" ticket, headed by George Peterson and the Representative ticket headed by LeMoine. The other officers elected on the Representative ticket were: Edward Kohman, of Chapman; vice president; Brownie Angle of Kansas City, secretary; Harlie Lennox of Arkansas City, treasurer; Big Maxwell of Columbus, sargeant-at-arms.
The freshmen held their election in the chapel and elected Adrian Morgan of Leavenworth president. The rest were two tickets out, the other being headed by Clay Roberts of Kansas City. Only a small percent of the Freshmen seemed interested in the election as there were only 171 votes polled, and the sophomores added materially to this number. The officers of the freshman class now are: Adrain Morgan of Leavenworth, president: Eugene Harlow of Kingman, vice president; Beatrice Dalton of Lawrence, secretary; Sandy Hamilton of Columbus, treasurer.
Miss Delpha Johnson has been chosen by the girls of the junior class to serve as the class representative on the executive committee of the women's student government association. Miss Johnson will fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Miss Detwiler.

FOOTBALL TEAM MASCOT.
St. Leger Moose Has Presented the Team With a Swine.
The football team of 1909 has a mascot this year presented by assistant coach Arthur St. Leger Mosse. It is a thoroughbred Ohio Improved Chesterfield swine. Coach Mosse also presented the pedigree which follows. Don Carlos, first sire Don Mikade; second sire O. K. Mikado and second dam Clissy First dam was Dona May, her sire was Kerr Garnett and her dam, April N. O. Mikood was grand champion of Iowa, Nebraska and St. Joe in 1908. Kerr Garnett was grand champion of the American Royal in 1906.
Each of the men who appears on the football field in a suit is to be taxed ten cents in the purchase of shorts, oilmeal and other delicacies for the highly honored representative of the swine tribe. Don Carlos will appear on the field at all the games this year. He is in charge of "Dick" Waring who says he is feeding him seventy cent corn.
MIMEOGRAPH TEXTBOOK.
Chemistry Classes Will Use New Work by Prof. H. P. Cady.
The Chemistry II classes this year are using a new test book written by Prof. H. P. Cady in place of "Ostwald" as heretofore. The new book is in two volumes, one for Chemistry II and the other for Qualitative analysis. It was written too late to be printed for use this year, and the classes are therefore using a special edition, mimeographed by Mr. Archie Weith. A similar edition of the second volume will be used in Qualitative Analysis next term, to give full opportunity for correcting the book before it finally goes to press. The printed edition will be considerably smaller in size than "Ostwald," and—it will be easier to carry up the hill.
Professors at Convention.
Prof. P. F. Walker and Prof. Geo. C. Schaad of the Engineering School attended the Twelth Annual Convention of the Kansas Gas, Water. Electric Light, and Street Railway Association, at Witchita, Sept. 23 and 24th. The active members of this association include managers, superintendents, and engineers in electric, water and gas power plants, and electric railways. The meetings covered three sessions and papers were read on "Illumination", "Transformers"and "gas Power in Engines". The purpose of these meetings is the reading and the discussion of electrical problems which are of benefit to its members.

Joseph O'Neill, B. S. '05, is visiting friends at the University. Mr. O'Neill is at present city engineer of Leavenworth, Kansas.
CATHOLICS PLAY ON SATURDAY
KENNEDY SAYS QUIGLEY WILL BE HERE THEN.
Varsity Men Not Reporting for Practice Regularly—Coach Insists on Consistent Work.
Despite the rumor which has been current to the effect that St. Marys might cancel the game scheduled with the 'Varsity eleven for next Saturday, Coach Kennedy is confident that there will be no disappointment on the part of the University team and the students but that the Catholics will be here for the contest. The coach came to this conclusion after he had received a letter from Coach Quigley of St. Marys, in which no intimation was made of a probable cancellation of the game.
One thing about the team is worrying Kennedy this week, however, and he has said that there must be a change soon or the team will find itself "slipped up on" some time in the near future. That is the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the players to get out for practices. Last night was an exceptionally poor practice and Kennedy was more than disappointed.
"If we are to win in these games," he said today, "every man must consider it his duty to get out and work every night."
Tonight a practice game will be played with the "subs" and tomorrow night the freshmen will be given an opportunity to buck the 'Varsity men for an hour or two. If the men come out better during the remainder of the week the coach also plans to take the team out to the Haskell gridiron on Friday afternoon in order that they may see the Indians manoeuver.
From the present outlook the line-up for next Saturday will be practically the same as at the start of the game last week. However, if the coach sees that the contest will be an easy victory for Kansas or if it is possible for him to do so without losing the game, he intends to hold out of the second half such veterans as Pleasant, Caldwell, Carlson, Johnson and Bond and allow some of the "subs" further tryouts. He has also said that he would make an effort to tryout any other players in any positions that they may show ability to hold down.

Roy K. Dietrich was chosen as president of the junior law class for this year, at the class election held Monday noon in Green hall. The other officers are Charles Woodbury, vicepresident, Frank Shirley, secretary, and Harry Goudy, treasurer.
