HAVE FEWER LAWS.
But Enforce Them Vigorously Says Judge West.
In his address to the students Friday morning in cheepel on "Public Impatience and National Confidence," J. S. West of Topeka, assistant U. S. district attorney, vigorously assailed a current American mullday which he termed "statutitis," or the inordinate demand for legislation. True reforms are and always will be needed but not all things can be secured by law, he said.
Judge West considered that the public impatience for legislative changes is very largely foolish, as the passing of laws is no slot in the machine method to secure results. To expand the thought that the world was not made in a day and could not be made over in a minute, he cited several of the doctrines advocated by Thomas Moore in his Utopia, published in 1515, which are only in the present day being worked out in public affairs. The Utopian ideal that laws should be few but properly expressed and thoroughly understood was heartily endorsed by Judge West.
He also inveighed against the works of the alarmist whose ideas arose from a feeling of distrust of those who directed the affairs of the nation. He believes that our forefathers were wise in attempting the experiment of a republic founded upon a written constitution. They were men who shared the optimism of the leaders sketched in the Bible and who believed that God had created the world for a purpose.
Montgomerv Countv Club.
Judge West is fully persuaded that the public officials of today are doing their work with the same spirit and therefore he encourages the mass of the people to be apostles of faith rather than prophets of disaster.

Hamilton to Try New Plan for Track Training.
CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS.
With the formation of cross country teams this fall, an innovation in methods of training track men at the University of Kansas will have been begun.
Last year the inter-class and inter-school meets were succession and it is the belief of the track coach that the cross country runs will be even more popular than the meets and will interest a larger number of men. In establishing this means of training, Coach Hamilton is putting into practice one of his pet ideas about the training of a track man.
"In other schools," said the coach, "the men are asked to train all the year round. Why should they not do it in the University of Kansas? A team that starts training in the fall has just as much advantage over the one that waits till spring as the difference in the amount of time spent."
To make the plan successful at least 200 or 250 men should come out for the three teams which will be organized. "Bob" Fisher and "Cub" Watson, both "K" men of last year, have consented to lead two of the teams, and Harry Kemp will probably set the pace for the other.
Later in the season a marathon of about five miles will be held in which all of the men will be allowed to participate. To secure the best possible advantages the teams will be taken by train to some good course. Men who show signs of ability in the event will be used in the varsity squad.
WROTE SPANISH GRAMMAR
Prof. Bassett Uses His Own Work in Classes.
Associate Prof. R. E. Bassett, of the department of romance languages has completed a Spanish grammar of thirty-one chapters and 289 pages, and has given mincegraphed copies to his classes.

Arrangements are being made to have it published in book form and to submit it to the consideration of the proper text book authorities.
New Library Books.
Many new books have been added to the engineering library during the last year. Among the most important works are: "Practical Engineering by Thomalen," "Weingreen's Electrical Power Plant Engineering," "Hawkins and Wallis on the Dynamo," a complete set of books on sanitary engineering and another one on electrical engineering. The new books number one hundred and fifty and Professor P. F. Walker has in his possession something like $200 for the purchase of additional books.
An event that will be of interest to some of the older students will be the marriage of Fred Wulfekuhler to Margaret Sexton of Leavenworth. The marriage will occur October 12 at the home of the bride. Mr. Wulfekuhler was graduated from the college in 1906, and is now in business in Leavenworth. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Join in Annual Uprising Against "Chemistry II."
The sophomore engineers are protesting against the Chemistry II course this year, as usual, only this time their protests are being put into a form looking to promise determined action. About thirty engineers held a meeting in the Physics building Friday morning, for the purpose of considering a campaign for the reduction of the work in the Chemistry II course. A committee of four members was chosen to consult with members of the faculty of the School of Engineering in order to start the action towards having their chemistry work reduced.
ENGINEERS PROTEST.
The men who are protesting declare that the work in the chemistry department is so heavy they are forced to slight other courses. Accordingly they stand for the reduction of the four-hour laboratory course on two days a week to a three-hour course in one day.
A petition is being circulated among the engineers voicing their protest, and it is said by some of them that this will be used in the next meeting of the faculty of the School of Engineering. A student representative will introduce the subject before that body
