THE OFFICERS WERE OUSTED
JUNIOR LAWS DISSATISFIED WITH FORMER ELECTION.
Refused to Recognize Dietrich Freshman Caps Discussed at Meeting Yesterday.
In a meeting filled with disorder, enthusiasm and errors in parliamentary procedure the junior Laws ousted all of their recently elected officers this morning and elected a new ticket. The ousted members are: Roy Dietrich, president; Tod Woodbury, vice-president; Frank Shirley, secretary; Harry Gowdy, treasurer. The new men who will take their places are: Charles Curtis, president; Thurman Hill, vice-president; Edgar Campbell, secretary; Art Spaulding, treasurer; George Crofton, sergeant at arms.
The meeting was called at 11:15 and so eager were the freshmen to hold another election that Dietrich was not recognized as president but an attempt was made to elect a temporary chairman. Dietrich however, ruled that he held the chair until he had resigned or had been ousted from office by the class. As a result during an uproar in which it was almost impossible for any of the members of the class to hear the voice of the temporary chairman who had been elected later by the class as a committee of the whole, not only the president but all the other officers as well were removed. A new ticket was then nominated and the old officers re-nominated. A standing vote decided in favor of the new ticket.
The authorities on procedure would have paled had they seen the rules that the freshmen laws followed. Nothing that was done was according to Parliamentary law.
The juniors then adjourned to hold a mass meeting with the upper classmen of the school.
Yesterday after a meeting had been called by President Dietrich to ask the class to adhere to the ruling of the student council to wear caps Dan Nevinger, president of the council and four members of the senior law class were ejected from the room. The first year men awoke to the situation and by a large majority voted to lay all previous motions regarding the wearing of caps on the table until such time when a mass meeting of the law school might be held. They decided to stand for their school rather than cause a breach between themselves and the upper classes.

KANSAN GETS ONLY SERVICE
WILL FLASH RUNNING STORY OF THE GAME.
Kennedy Is Pessimistic Over Saturday's Game—Change in Jayhawker Line-up.
Arrangements for special telegraphic bulletin of the K. U.-K. S. A. C. football game was made by the Kansan this morning. A special wire has been rented and as a result the Kansan will receive the only running story of the game. Three minute bulletins of plays as they are made by both teams will be received at the Kansan office and will be transferred to plates and flashed upon a screen in the chapel during the afternoon. The service is the same as afforded the student body at the time of the Nebraska and Iowa games of last year.
In order to cover the expenses incurred in renting a special wire and in messenger service it will be necessary for a small charge to be made.
There is no doubt but that Saturday's game is gone to be the hardest one thus far if not the hardest of the entire season. Kennedy is pessimistic as to the outcome and because of his men seeming overconfident and sluggish in practice work he has made a decided change in the line-up in order to make them work harder until the time for the game. Randall will go to V. Smith,s place and Davidson, who has been out of the game with a sprained shoulder will go in for Randall. Pleasant will continue in the back field and Brownlee at end. This change puts Smith out of the game temporarily and Davidson goes in.
"The score will no doubt be a low one," said Kennedy last night, "and I will count ourselves mighty lucky if we carry off the big end of it."
Cross Country Club Will Walk to Lake View.
HIKE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
The "hike" planned by the K. U. cross country club for last Saturday which was postponed on account of the rainy weather will be held next Saturday afternoon. The boys will meet at the courthouse at one o'clock and walk to Lake View. All those who are interested should be ready to start at the appointed time.
