SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8.
The three lower classes of the University could have learned something to their advantage by taking note of the manner in which the senior election was conducted yesterday. There were no attacks made upon the characters of any of the senior candidates, nor any other kind of mud-slinging. The voters were assumed to know something about what they were doing, and enjoyed a comparative immunity from the attention of the electioners. How different it was in the other classes can be realized only by those who were assailed on all sides with appeals to vote for sophomores, juniors and fresh, men, and who had thrust upon them handfuls of bills reciting the virtues of one set of candidates or the villainy of another. Most of the uproar in the three lower classes was entirely unnecessary, and there was no excuse for the printed matter that was circulated. There is no more excuse at election time than at any time of the year for the making of anonymous attacks upon the character of students. The circulation of such matter should in some way be prevented.
The discovery that there was illegal voting in the class elections yesterday should be followed by prompt action on the part of the Student Council. That body, having taken charge of the elections, has complete jurisdiction in the matter, and its action will be backed up by the student body. For a man to vote in two or three class elections may have been common enough in days gone by, but it will be a rare thing, indeed when the Student Council has finished with the students who tried it at the elections yesterday.
An examination of the returns of yesterday's election reveals the fact that every ticket elected is a "Barb" ticket. This news must have come as a severe blow to the fraternities. Many of them were doubtless expecting representation on important committees, which will now, of course, since the "Barbs" won the fight, be denied them.
Alva Bernhard, a former student of the University, who graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy last spring, and is on the battleship Kansas, is spending a few days in Lawrence with his parents.
OREAD NEWS NOTES.
The annual fall reception given by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will be held on Friday, October 14th. The reception this year will probably be held in the University gymnasium instead of Myers hall, because of the expected increase in attendance.
E. C. McBride, who spent his freshman and sophomore years at the University of Kansas, is now editor of the Delphie, the college paper, published by the students of Drake University, at Des Moines, la. McBride was a member of the Kansan board when a student here.
Anna Savage, district chairman of the Women's Student Government district east of Massachusetts street, entertained the girls of her section Wednesday evening. The evening was spent in playing games, after which refreshments were served.
The reinforced concrete foundation wall of the left wing of the new administration building was completed Wednesday morning and work was immediately begun on the concrete piers and the trickwork. The building will be completed by next June.
Dr. E. H. Seoher, who was instructor in pathology at the University last year, has a chair in the department of Preventive Diseases at Harvard University.
Fred White, who was a sophomore in the School of Engineering last year, visited his brother, Ben White, at the Pi Upsilon house Tuesday.
The Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity has pledged Ray Hoskins, a first year medic. Hoskins is a junior in the College.
A rotary fan has been installed in the power plant to cool the water used in the condensing pit. The steam which is condensed is pumped back into the boilers to be used again.

four hats. They are the liveliest sellers we've ever had in our three-dollar lines—and they are all "Imperials."
The third is our semi-flatset-brim derby. A very jaunty effect, different from the ordinary. Browns, tans and black; $3.00.
Not as a task, of course, but for the fun of the thing. There is a lot of pleasure in finding out what is going on in the various fields of human endeavor, and in keeping track of the progress that is explaining things or in guessing at the riddles of existence. Cecil Rhodes used to go back to Oxford year after year for courses just because he liked it.
Evidently the woman at Columbus has found out what fun it is to keep on learning. Really, there is no reason for stopping just because you happen to be 80 or 90 ears old—not if you keep young at heart. For it isn't a violent assumption to infer that the intellect was actually made to use all one's life.
In School at 80.
Here's long life to the chipper young woman of 80, who has finished her courses in the summer school of the University of Michigan and has gone to Columbus, O., to register as a student in the state university! Most persons think their education is finished by the time they are 25. At 30 they would consider it a rank insult to suggest that they need any further culture, and after 35 they never read a book that isn't a novel. But the man who has finished school is just at the beginning of his education. He has been given a survey of the general field of culture perhaps, but if he is ever to learn anything he must keep pegging away for the rest of his life.
Many other smart models at the same price—all Imperials.

The U. S. National Museum in Washington, D. C., has loaned Roy Moodie, of the department of paleontology, a fossil jaw from the coal-measures in Washington county, Kan. It represents a new form of Labyrinthodons, and a paper describing it will be published this year in the "Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum." The drawings for the article will be made by Dallas Hanna, a student in the department.

Canadian Helps Cornell.
Cornell University receives $689,000 unconditionally by the will of the late Prof. Goldwin Smith of Toronto, Canada, in which the value of the estate is indicated as $823,859. "I do this," the will says in reference to the Cornell bequest, "to show my affection for the university at the foundation of which I had the honor of taking part; to pay respect to the memory of Ezra Cornell and to show my attachmant as an Englishman to the union of the two branches of our race on this continent, with each other and with their common mother."
