WILL HAVE FINAL TEST
CELEBRATION AND MASS MEETING FRIDAY.
Chancellor to Meet Students Hall Way on Students' Day and Student Council Agitation.
There will be "something doing" at the University Friday after the chapel exercises. The two class periods will be given over to the students.
First an effort will be made to arouse some enthusiasm for the track meet with Missouri. The track followers feel that K. U. has the best chance of years to beat the Tigers. There are some new men on the team and a touch of the real K. U. spirit might do wonders for them. The University drum corps will be out and "Rock Chalk" will be heard on all sides.
After the enthusiasm meeting, the chancellor will meet all the men of the University in chapel to discuss plans for forming a students council. At the same time the question of a students day will be brought up.
For years there has been an intermittent movement for a student council. The chancellor has seen fit to call this meeting. The attendance and the spirit shown will be a test of the students's feelings in regard to the matter.
"Dick" Priest to Marry.
Tomorrow evening Richard Priest a senior engineer and captain of the '08 track team, will be married to Miss Verda Ward of Kansas City. Mr. Priest is from Chanute, Kansas, and it was there that he first became acquainted with his bride. The young couple will live in Kansas City where the groom will do engineering work with a construction company.

SELF GOVERNMENT FOR K. U. WOMEN
The committee of senior and junior girls, who were elected by their respective classes to consider plans for organizing a self-government association, met the Chancellor, for conference, this afternoon. The senior committee has been at work since the opening of the second term, arousing interest in the movement for self-government. As a result,the junior girls met two weeks ago, and elected a committee to serve with them. Meetings of the sophomore and freshman classes will be held soon. A mass meeting of all the girls of the University will then follow, to adopt a constitution and elect officers. It seems to be the wish of all the girls that the organization be founded on a thoroughly democratic basis, and that the council or governing board be made up of representatives elected by the various classes and schools of the University.
The conference with the chancellor today is to determine what responsibilities the organization may fittingly undertake.
MEET NEXT FRIDAY
CONTEST WILL BE CLOSE AND CLEAN.
The Kansan's Forecast is Kansas 44, Missouri 41—New Men on Both Teams. THE KANSAN'S FORECAST.
44 Total
With the Kansas-Missouri indoor track meet only three days off the athletes under Coach Hagerman have finished strenuous practice and are doing just enough work to keep pointed for their events. All the men are in good condition and able to do their best on Fridav night.
It looks as though Kansas had a good chance to come home with first place for the first time since the indoor meet has featured track athletics between the two schools. Missouri has lost several of her old time stars and the contest will be mainly between new men.
In any event the meet is pretty sure to be close and clearly fought throughout. Both schools have evenly balanced teams with few individual stars. No one athlete on either team is likely to annex more than eight points.
Dean of Bible College.
Rev. Chas. M. Sharpe '97 has been elected dean of the Bible College of Missouri, Columbia, Mo., which is devoted to the instruction of men for the ministry of the Christian church. Mr. Sharpe was pastor of the Christian church in Lawrence for some time after he took his Master's degree at the University in 1899 but since 1902 he has been professor of Old Testament in the school of which he now becomes the head.
