CLASS PRESIDENTS CUT POLITICAL PIE
A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE THIS MORNING.
Seniors Slowest in Chosing Com mitteenmen—Complete List by Saturday.
President Robert Fisher of the seniors, said this morning that as yet no definite appointments could be announced. Many men are being considered for the different places. None will be given an appointment, however, until it is found that he has ability to fill the office.
Incomplete appointments made by class presidents were given dut this morning. In all of the classes there are a few men who have not yet been chosen—publicly. The seniors are the slowest to appoint the men on whom will rest the duties of chairmanships. The fact may be attributed to the greater number of appointments to be made in the graduate class and the greater importance of a number of those appointments.

Makes Statement Concerning the Class Appointments.
Arch McKinnon, president of the junior class, gave out the following signed statement this morning in explanation of the story in The Kansan Tuesday concerning junior class appointments:

OVER $250 RAISED FOR H. G. POWELL
FUNDS FOR UNFOUNTATE STUDENT INCREASING.
lawrence Merchants Give $100— Dr. Chambers Makes Statement of Situation.
Interest in the unfortunate case of Harvey Powell, the freshman engineer who is critically ill with typhoid fever continues to increase. This morning the Lawrence Merchants' Association left a check for $100 with Chancellor Strong. "Dad" Herman reports that the Y. M. C. A. has received from University students collections amounting to almost $125. Professor Dunlap received contributions from faculty members this morning and the total sum is now $250.
"There is no need for further subscriptions," said Councillor Strong this morning. "In case we finds more funds necessary the town and the University will be notified, but at present both the boy and his mother are receiving all necessary aid."
The fund for the relief of young Powell will be administered by a committee of the University Y. M. C. A. The association has had charge of the raising of the fund and will see that it is expended in the best way.
The water analysis test made from samples of well water used for drinking purposes in the student district, show plainly the presence of bacteria, while analyses of city water, made by Prof. C. C. Young of the water analysis department show no traces of contamination.
Dr. Chambers, the University physician, says: "If the boarding house keepers use well water for drinking purposes, students should refuse to remain, and if the keepers persist in using well water for drinking purposes the University authorities will pursue a proper course for the forcing of its discontinuance. There are at present no new cases of typhoid fever among the students."
Enrollment Reaches 2.214.

NEW FRATERNITY
Definite Action Not Taken by National Pi Kappa Alpha.
Several men in the junior and senior classes of the University last June petitioned the national fraternity of Pi Kappa Alpha to establish a chapter at Lawrence. The matter was taken up by the fraternity and referred to the pan-hellenic council last night. No definite action has been taken by the national organization as yet.
Pi Kappa Alpha was founded in the southern states just after the civil war. It died out for several years and was revived in 1895. There are chapters at Rolla, Mo., and Arkansas.
TO START CAMPAIGN.
Medical Students Will Canvass for Hospital Association Members.
The students of the School of Medicine will inaugurate a campaign to secure members for the University Hospital association, beginning tomorrow morning. In spite of the fact that the membership fee is only $1 this year in place of $2 asked last year, the membership of the association is less than 200.
It will not be practicable to carry out the plans outlined for the year with fewer than 700 or 800 paid members. The medical students will undertake to bring the membership up to a point where the association can be placed on a working basis.
Masque Club Tryout.
One hundred and twenty-five students attended the first tryout of the Masque club in Fraser hall last night. Thirty or forty of that number will be called back for the final tryout to be held during the early part of next week. A modern play will be given by the club this year. After the second tryout the students who are to play the parts will be chosen. Those who show ability in the production will be elected to the Masque club.

COUNCIL URGES
SUSPENSION OF 4
FOR
ILLEGAL VOTING IN CLASS ELECTIONS.
Recommendation of Student Council Probably Will Be Acted on by the Regents Tomorrow.
Suspension for one week from the University was the recommendation made by the Men's Student Council last evening to the authorities of the University, as part of the punishment for the men who were found guilty of "repeating" in the recent class elections. They will also be debarred from participation in all college activities during the rest of the present school year and they will not be allowed to vote at any of the elections of the school during the same period.
These men appeared before the Council and were questioned in regard to their illegal voting: R. P. Jackmon, Albert Money, a junior engineer, D. H. Cadmus, a senior engineer, and Fred Newcomb. Each man was given an opportunity to defend himself after a series of questions by the councilmen. After long deliberation, the punishment above stated was imposed upon all the men excepting R. P. Jackson, who was cleared of the charge of fraudulent voting.
F. O'Connor, a second year law student, was unable to appear before the Council last night, and a committee consisting of McAdams, Burket and Spotts, with full authority to act for the Council, was elected to confer with him regarding the same charge. The evidence was conclusive and this morning the same punishment was recommended for him as for the other men.
The advisory committee of the Student Council has submitted the findings of the council to the disciplinary committee of the University. If the disciplinary committee approves of the findings, it is expected that the Board of Regents will take action on them as their meeting tomorrow.
Chancellor Strong said this morning that he was in favor of ratifying the decision of the council, but that the matter of suspension from class attendance was a serious matter which should properly be acted upon by the Regents.
The Council also found that the name of Grace Waugh had not been forged on the poll books of the senior class, but that upon the advice and persuasion of politicians she had voted in the election though not a student of the University. She was represented as being enrolled in the department of expression of the graduate department of the University. Her vote was challenged and thrown out.
