VOLUME VII
METHOD HAS BEEN SIMPLIFIED FOR STUDENTS.
PLAN NEW SYSTEM FOR ENROLLMENT
All Will Be Registered at the Gym on January 21.—The Advisors.
A new system of enrollment for College students for the spring term has been installed. Instead of having the four classes enroll in different buildings, as was the custom before, the entire College will be enrolled in Robinson Gymnasium on Saturday, January 21.
"The prime factor in causing the committee to make these arrangements," said Professor Sisson chairman of the arrangement committee, "was to get all the advisors together. Before if an advisor wanted counsel on a point it was necessary for him to go to another building and sometimes two. But with our present play everything will be centralized Dean Templin will have a desk in the center of the floor. The different class advisors will have desk at different places in the room. The committee on special students will also have a desk. Our object is to have a process of enrollment within one building so that enrollment will begin when the student enters the room and will be complete when he leaves."
The advisors will be at the gym from 8 to 12 a. m., and from 2 t 5 p. m., on Saturday. The following week enrollment will be in process each school day from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. Each class will form in separate lines.
After passing the advisors the student will have his card passed upon by the assignment committee. When his card is accepted by the assignment committee the enrollment is complete.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1911
Tte senior advisors are Professors Walker, chairman; Becker and Kester. Junior advisors are Professor McClung, chairman, and Bilings. Sophomore advisors are Professor Rodgers, chairman, Flint and W. S. Johnson.
The freshmen women advisors are headed by Professor Hedger and the men by Professor Sisson The date for enrollment in the other schools has not been set.
Not a Case in Hospital.
For the first time for a number of weeks there is not a single patient confined in the University hospital. According to Dr. Chambers, the University physician, this condition is probably due to the recuperation of students during the holidays.
Mr. C. E. Pile of Parsons will be the speaker at Friday's chapel.His subject will be "Anglo Saxon Liberty." Mr. Pile is a lawyer and an ex-president of the National Anti-Horse Thief association, of which he is an active member.

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE.
Opening Basket-Ball Game Will Be Played With Baker.
A slight change in the basketball schedule has been made for this season. Instead of playing the opening game with Nebraska on January 13, as was originally scheduled, Baker will be played on that date in Robinson gymnasium. Nebraska will be played on February 10 and 11, the dates previously arranged for the Baker games. At present it is thought that the University will be unable to play the Kansas City Athletic club, because the management of the latter has been unable to secure a suitable court for the game to be played upon in Kansas City. In case the games with the Kansas City Athletic club are cancelled, those dates probably will be filled by the Kansas State Agricultural College.
INTER-SCHOOL MEET.
Events Will Begin in Gymnasium Next Monday.
The annual inter-school track meet will begin in Robinson gymnasium Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The schedule for the meet is posted on the bulletin board in the gymnasium and every man who has had any experience in track work is expected to take part in this meet.
This is the last local meet that the students can take part in before the indoor meets with Baker University, the Lawrence Y. M. C. A., the K. C. A. C., Missouri, and probably St. Marys.
Tumbling Team Will Perform.
The University tumbling team which made a tour of several western Kansas towns during the Christmas vacation, expects to put on the main part of their show at the gymnasium preceding one of the basket-ball games. Although the trip was not a financial success, Director Root is not discouraged and by having a series of tumbling matches in the various schols here he expects to create an interest in this branch of athletics that will give it the importance in the University of Kansas that it has in the schools in the East.
Charles W. Whitehair of Topeka, state student Y. M. C. A. secretary, will speak at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight at 6:45 in Myers hall. His talk will be in regard to the University gospel team which spent last week at the state reform school.

FAYORS PLAYING GAME AT K. C
PETITION SENT TO CHANCELOR AND REGENTS.
NUMBER 37
Student Council Asks that K. U.
M.-U. Battle Be Not Moved—
Other Plans for Students.
"That the general and prevailing sentiment of the student body of the University of Kansas favors the retention, for the present, at Kansas City of the annual Kansas Missouri football game," was the resolution adopted by the Men's Student Council last Tuesday evening under its express power to "voice student sentiment in all matters of undergraduate concern."
To enable the students to ratify this action, meetings were called in all the schools of the University yesterday where the matter was presented by members of the council. In every school the action was ratified, though the attendance at some of the meetings was small.
The statement of the action was communicated to the Chancellor and to the Board of Regents today. A copy also was sent to Mayor Brown of Kansas City, who will preside at the banquet given there this evening by the Missouri and Kansas alumni for Chancellor Strong and the Board of Regents. It is the object of the Student Council to convey to the Regents what it believes to be the wish of the student body.
The Men's Council will entertain during the remainder of the year, all visiting athletic teams during their stay at the University. No banquets will be given, but all other possible means will be taken to make their visits to the University enjoyable.
The entertainment committee of the Council was instructed to make further plans for a "University night"which will probably be given in March. This "stunt" has met with great success in other Universities, being an entertainment by the students and of especial interest to them.
It practically was decided that a Students' Day will be given a short time before commencement, being a revival of the custom that existed some years ago at the University.
Felt Earth Tremors Here.
The seismograph at the University recorded an earthquake in Asiatic Russia, January 3, which is the most violent that has been recorded since the seismograph has been installed.
The tremblings started at 5:39 a. m., and the preliminary shock lasted until 6:12 when the most violent waves were recorded and lasted until 6:40; the last tremblings were recorded at 8 o'clock. To Prof. H. P. Cady, who reads the machine the distance seemed to be 8,000 miles and the direction northwest. This proved to be exactly right and the time was identical with that given out in the reports of the observatory at West Bromwich, where the oscillation was so violent that the needle collapsed.
GOSPEL TEAMS SUCCESSFUL
Y. M. C. A. Boys Spent Holidays in Religious Work.
The three gospel teams sent on by the Y. M. C. A. of the University during the week of December 26-January, 2, bring back reports of successful and profitable meetings. The movement was a state wide one, teams being sent out by the Y. M. C. A.'s of the various Kansas colleges. The work that the men set themselves to do was to show the people of Kansas that college life really has a religious side to it.
D. C. Martindell, W. C. Mayer, and Fred Lee, under the direction of C. W. Whitechair, state secretary of college Y. M. C. A.'s, composed the team which spent the week at the Reform School for Boys, at Topeka.
The second team sent out from here included T. N. Hill, C. A. Nash, H. C. Herman, and Aller Wilber. This team went to Linn, where in addition to the regular religious meetings held at the churches they played basket-ball with the high school boys, and had a "college night" at the opera house. College songs and yells including old "Rock Chalk" were given, and a one-act playlet presented.
PLAN AQUATIC SPORTS
The team sent to Haskell was under the leadership of Harry Heinman, '07, now of Washburn. The K. U. men on the team were Harry Osborn and William Caldwell The program was much the same as those of the others.
Engineers to Hold Swimming Matches in the Gym.
The engineers have taken it upon themselves to arouse enthusiasm in aquatic sports, Emile Grignard being the leader in the movement. Already the mechanicals have organized a team and elected Robert Fisher captain. The chemicals electricals, and civils will meet some time today and perfect their organizations. Inter-school contests will be held soon in Robinson gymnasium, the first taking place Thursday evening, January 12, between teams representing the different branches of engineering Later meets will be arranged with the other schools of the University and also with the different Y. M.C.A. teams throughout the country. Dr. Naismith will have charge of all the meets. On Saturday morning the chemicals will hold their practice swim at 11 a.m.
The events are as follows:
50-foot dash, 50-foot back swim,
50-foot team rescue, 100-foot swim,
(feet tied), 100-foot dash, 100-yard
swim (six times length of pool),
plunge for distance, fancy diving,
400-feet team relay.
Winds Prevented Flights.
Harry Elliott, one of the builders, said this morning that it would be some time before the tests could be made.
The University students who constructed an aeroplane which was to be tested during the holidays, were unable to carry out their plans on account of the high winds that prevailed. The machine could not be taken from its shed on Haskell avenue.
THE NEW HOSPITAL TO KANSAS CITY?
LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE BUILDING WILL GO THERE.
No Final Vote Taken Before This Evening—No Decision in K. U. M.-U. Football Matter.
The new $150,000 clinical hospital of the University will, in all probability, be located at Kansas City, Kan. While the Board of Regents had taken no definite action up to a late hour this afternoon, it was stated by Regent W. Y. Morgan that there seemed to be no possibility that any other town would be chosen as the place of locating the new building.
The matter of location has been under consideration by the Chancellor and Regents for several weeks. It was referred to the physicians of the state and a large majority favored Kansas City as the logical place for the clinical institution. Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita also were considered.
One hundred thousand dollars of the total cost has been asked of the coming legislature by Chancellor Strong. The remaining $50,000 will be taken from the improvement fund of the present Rosedale medical school.
The matter of retaining the Missouri-Kansas football game at Kansas City also was before the Regents this afternoon. No final vote on the retention of the game there was taken. It is understood that Regent Morgan favors the playing of the game in Kansas City, but that the majority of the Regents are for the removal to Lawrence and Columbia in alternating years. There is a possibility that the question will be decided in Kansas City tonight, when the Regents and the Chancellor are entertained by Kansas City merchants. However, the whole matter might be deferred until the members of the governing board return from Des Moines, Ia.,where they go tomorrow to attend a conference of the heads and executive boards of the Missouri valley schools.
