DRAMATIC CLUB ASSOCIATION.
A Missouri Valley Conference of College Clubs to be Formed.
The managers and directors of the dramatic clubs of the different schools and universities in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are discussing the probability of organizing an association by which it will be made possible for the clubs to produce their plays in the other schools.
The first step toward this organization will be made next week when the Masque club will give its fall production, "The Royal Knave," at Liberty, Missouri, under the management of the Dramatic club of William Jewell College. After the show the visiting players will be entertained with a dance.
Beltzer Captain at Nebraska.
Oren Beltzer, halfback and punter of the Cornhusker football eleven, was elected captain of the '09 team Wednesday. The race started with Frum and Collins in the lead for the position but both withdrew on account of the hopeless deadlock and Beltzer was elected over Harte.
The new gridiron leader is also captain of the Nebraska baseball team and is one of the best college third baseman in the West.

Testing Water of Lawrence.
The bacteriology department of the University has two students at work testing the sanitary conditions of the wells and cisterns in Lawrence in regard to sewerage. Edward Wiedemann, a senior in the college, is testing the water from the wells and Miss Roxanna Oldroyd, a graduate student, is conducting the test in regard to cisterns.
DON'T SNEAK THE BOOKS.
One Student to Be Severely Dealt With for Violating Rules.
"The student body of this University must be ridded of the thief or thieves who have been appropriating the history reference books of the library before I can with any sense of justice hold a student for his library work," said a professor of history Friday morning, while discussing the disappearance of books from the library, some for all time and some for a few days.
There are enrolled in one of the history courses over a hundred students. At times reference is made to material which is to be found in only a half dozen or in some cases only one book. During the last week there have been several times when students have taken these books from the library and kept them for two or three days. In doing this the student has not only violated the University library rule, but he has also disobeyed the public library law, besides this he has meddled with state property.
This condition of affairs has existed here for several years, but the guilty culprit has never been located until this week, when evidence was obtained against a student which is strong enough to incriminate him. He will be flunked outright in his history course, and his offence will be referred to the disciplinary committee.
W. S. Jenks, '87, Discusses Life.
W. S. Jenks, '87, of Ottawa, spoke in chapel Friday morning on his observations of the various methods used by people in the universal effort to get the most and best out of life. He said that the attempt to secure this end through so-called high society was a mistake as the strongest friendships were not found under such conditions. Mr. Jenks maintained that real ownership of truth and beauty resulted from an appropriation of their values and the proper use of them. To those who would seek the most and best of life by acquiring greatness he would present the importance of giving service each day.

BROWN ON BIG COMMITTEE
Campaign for Uniform Weights and Measures To Be Started.
Mr. E. E. Brown, secretary of the University, yesterday received a notification from the Bureau of Standards at Washington of his appointment on an important committee of the National Conference of Weights and Measures. The committee was formed in accordance with a resolution adopted at the Conference meeting held at Washington during the holidays. Its duty is to take measures for the formation of a National Full Weight and Measure League, in which membership shall be unlimited and to which any one in favor of honest weights and measures shall be eligible. The committee is to report at the next annual meeting of the national conference, but in the meantime it has full power to organize the league if it is found advisable.
At the meeting of the conference which Mr. Brown attended during the holidays the fact came to light that there is practically no check on the manufacture and use of faulty weighing and measuring devices except in a few states. A campaign will be started to secure such state legislation as will
compel dealers to use accurate scales and measures.
There have been seven deaths on Prof. F. H. Billings' guineapig farm and the tests for germs of tuberculosis have just been completed.
Chancellor Strong is state sealer of weights and measures for Kansas.
No Germs Found Yet.
A few boarders wanted at 928 Louisiana Street. $3.00 per week.Mixed club.
The guinea-pigs are inoculated with butter and milk from Kansas towns, and allowed to run for two months. As yet no tuberculosis germs have been discovered, and Professor Billing believes that Kansas cattle are healthy. One hundred more "pigs" were imported this week for further tests.
Miss Beulah Bishop went to Kansas City Friday.
