PLANS MADE FOR THE INDOOR TRACK
CLASS MEETS WILL BEGIN
NEXT MONDAY.
Will Be Followed by School Meets —Class Committees Will See That Men Come Out.
The preparations for the indoor track meets to be held in the next two weeks have been completed by Coach Hamilton. The four class meets will be held next week. Beginning Monday and continuing until all the events are run off, the classes of the University will compete among themselves. All the schools will be represented in each class contest it is expected that the men who said at the time of their enrollment that they had participated in track athletics in some form will enter these meets.
From those who make a good showing in the class meet will be chosen the contestants for the school meet which will take place the following week.
For the first time in many years the medical students have organized to take part in the meets. Albert LeMoine was chosen captain of the sophomores in the School of Medicine.
The presidents of the different classes in the University have been asked by Coach Hamilton to appoint committees to see that the track men of the different classes come out for the meets.
Correct Weights and Measures.
Eleven counties in the state have taken advantage of the recent law regulating weights and measures. The county clerks who are the sealers for each county have charge of the local testing. In the past year two hundred tests have been made and much apparatus has been readjusted in the office of the state sealer.
New standard weights and measures are obtained through this state sealer, who is the Chancellor of the University of Kansas. In the past month a full set of one-piece gold plated bronze weights of the highest quality has been received at the office of the state sealer at Lawrence for use as reference standards of weight. Each weight is certified by the Bureau of Standards at Washington. A new fifty-foot bench standard of length is being installed. This will be used to graduate and correct steel taps and surveyors' chains.
The number of students at the University of Kansas who are self-supporting has increased this year about seven per cent. Over eighty per cent of the men in the University are wholly or partially self-supporting. The number of men who use their vacations for recreation and pleasure alone is very small.
Students Come From Afar.
Students from four different countries outside of the United States, are enrolled in the University of Kansas this year. Two come from Canada, one each from Holland, Turkey, and Cuba. The largest enrollment from any one state outside of Kansas comes from Missouri. It is 159. The enrollment from the other eighteen states represented are: Oklahoma 28, Colorado 8, Iowa 7, Illinois 5, New Mexico 4, California 3 Texas and Vermont, each 2, and one each from Indiana, Michigan Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and South Dakota.

PROMOTING MARKMANSHIP.
National Rifle Association Offers College Trophies.
The National Rifle Association of America has mailed circulars to all the Colleges and Universities of the country with a view of organizing an Indoor Intercollegiate League for the coming winter. The entries are to close December 1, when a regular league schedule will be arranged. The conditions of the shooting are the same as for the championship match which will be held at Camp Peary in June, 1911, so that the teams entering the league have a decided advantage over those which stay out. The first match was held in 1908, when teams representing Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, and George Washington University competed, Columbia winning the trophy.
Captain Shifler, of the University National Guard company, when asked if Kansas was to be represented, said today: "I have not heard of any of our men entering. We will practice anyway. Captain Cole, a Kansas University student, is one of the crack marksmen in the militia. He was detailed by the adjutant general of the state to instruct the University company."
Two trophies are to be given by the Intercollegiate league, one to the team competing from colleges with military organizations, and one to those which have no military organization.

This will be one of the big meetings of the year. It will be called in the engineering building at 7:30.

Friday's Chapel Speaker.
The speaker at next Friday's chapel will be Judge Winfield Freeman of Kansas City, Kan. He has a state-wide reputation as a good speaker and lawyer. While Judge Freeman and his wife were in China several years ago, he was appointed by the United States minister to China to go out into the interior of the country and take charge of the case of an American citizen. His experience while engaged in this trial was given before the State Bar association at their last meeting.

To Broaden the Extension Work
One important item in the budget of the University of Kansas to be presented to the legislature this winter is an increased appropriation for the extension department. In its work of a little more than a year, this department has demonstrated its ability to carry the University to those people in the various communities of the state who are unable to go to Lawrence or who could not conform to the entrance requirements. All the schools in the University except medicine and law are now represented in the extension work Law cannot be taught in this manner under a ruling of the American Bar Association. Medicine, from the nature of the instruction, must be studied in residence. With the means of increasing its teaching force sufficiently, the University will place the facilities of its other schools at the disposal of the entire state.
