A STUDENTS' CHAPEL.
Student Representatives .Spoke Emblems Awarded.
The regular Friday chapel exercises were yesterday occupied by statements from representatives of the two student councils. As the new president of the Mens' Student Council, Ralph Spotts, presented a brief outline of the plans which the council just elected and organized has for next year.
The possibility of a change in the management of the annual publication of the senior class was mentioned as one of the prominent problems. Mr. Spotts referred to plans used in other schools and suggested that it might be desirable to have the financial responsibility for the Jay hawker rest upon the entire class and that any profits should go to the student loan fund.
Some plan to lessen the mortality in the freshman class would be considered, said Mr. Septits. Efforts have been made in the past but Mr. Spotts believes there is need for further work by the council.
Other senior class activities, including the management of the senior play, the cap and gown, and the invitation committees were mentioned.
In addition to a student day at the chapel exercises Mr. Spotts suggested that a gala day each spring in which all organizations had a share might be inaugurated, and be made a valuable feature.
On behalf of the Women's Student Government association,Miss Pearl Stuekey, the retiring president, gave some of the detail of the girls' scholarship which the
association is offering. She thanked all who had helped in making a success of "Alice in Wonderland," by which fund's were secured for the scholarship The girls were further represented on the program of the morning by Miss Helen James, who sang a sole and responded to an encore.
On behalf of the Debating council Prof. W. E. Higgins spoke briefly on the increased interest in debating and then requested Professor Carruth to award the emblems to the University representatives in debate this year. The seven men who received the gold watch fobs in recognition of their work were Foster Cline, W. T Griffin, H. C. Marks, George E. Probst, William Erdman, R. M. Perkins and E. L. Overman.

THEY ARE IN DOUBT
Astronomers Have Failed to Learn Whether Earth Has Passed Through the Comet's Tail.
Several professors at the University as well as the majority of the astronomers in this country are worried. They are not quite sure that they know any thing at all about the great "Heavenly Flyer Limited." The earth was supposed to have passed through the tail of Halley's comet but nothing unusual happened and nobody seems to know if we really did go through or not. If we did, the comet is supposed to be in the west, but it has been too cloudy here to see it if it has appeared.
All the astronomical authorites are putting their faith in the western sky tonight. If the great ball of fire appears all is well but if it doesn't their reputation is at least shaken.
Prof. H. P. Cady and Paul Farragher made observations last night but it was so cloudy that the comet could not be seen. The different experiments to collect meteoric dust failed, and Professor McFarland who has charge of the experiments says that it is unlikely that results can be obtained for several days, it taking that long to evaporate the liquid air. No other University has reported finding radioactive particles and it is unlikely that any will be found here.
Prof. Ephraim Miller said this morning, "I have no doubt in my own mind, that we have passed through the tail of Halley's Comet, but it can not be known exactly until tonight, when the comet should be seen in the western sky immediately after sundown."
FRESHMEN VS. CAMPBELL.
First Year Men Won Game by Score of 12 to 2.
The freshmen baseball team defeated Campbell College yesterday afternoon by a score of 12 to 2. The freshmen had it over the Campbellites from the start to the finish. Every one of the twelve hits gathered by the first year men gleaned a run.
Starting off with a whirl the K. U. infants scored six runs in the first two acts and kept up a steady pace until the Campbellites threw up the sponge before the end of the ninth.
The batteries: Freshmen, Miller and Hill. Campbell—McNeal and Coats.

WOMEN OFFER SCHOLARSHIP
GIFT OF $100 TO SOPHOMORE
GIRL
Part of the Proceeds of the Gala Day Will Be Used—Applications Called For.
The Woman's Student Government association announces the offer of a gift scholarship of $100 to be given to a girl of the present freshman class in the University.
All applications, accompanied by transcript of grades from the Registrar's office, must be made before 5 o'clock on Thursday, May 26, at the office of the Dean of the College. The object of this scholarship is to aid, during the sophomore year, a girl whose work is of good standing.
The committee in charge of the scholarship consists of Professors Oliver, Greissinger and Galloo, and Misses Stuckey, Stough and Connelly.
. The following rules govern the scholarship:
This scholarship shall be awarded at the end of the freshman year, to a girl whom it will materially assist during her sophomore year and whose standing is high in her studies. The management of the scholarship fund shall be in the hands of a permanent scholarship committee. This scholarship committee shall be elected by the women's council and shall consist of six members, three women of the faculty, at least one of whom shall have served the preceding year and who shall be president of this committee; and three members of the women's executive council, including the president ex-officio. This fund is to be deposited with the treasurer of the University, who shall on an order signed by the chairman of the committee and the president of the council, pay the money to the applicant.
"The money shall ordinarily be paid in four equal parts, one at the beginning of each half-semester; but for good reason the committee may direct that the amount for either term be paid in one installment."
Miss Mary C. Lee, '99, of the Manhattan Bible library, and Miss Ada Allen of Chanute visited the University and attended a meeting of the executive board of the State Librarians Association Friday.
Prof. E.M. Hopkins went to Atchison last Thursday, where he spoke at the dedication of the new high school building.
