TOM McNEAL IN CHAPEL.
(Continued on page 4)
State Printer Spoke to Students Yesterday.
"Everyone has a fool streak in his make-up and the proper opportunity only is needed to bring it out," said Hon. T. A. McNeal of Topeka in his chapel address Friday morning. He maintained that the difference between the folly of old and young was only in the kind of folly. Drawing upon his own past Mr. McNeal mentioned specific follies that others might perhaps be prevented from indulging in the same. He tersely said that carrying a cane always showed a man to be lame in legs or head. He told of his struggle to learn to smoke. "I kept up the foolish habit for twenty-five years and then decided that I owed a duty to the generation coming on. I now know that smoking is no evidence of smartness, virility or brains," said Mr. McNeal.
He maintained that billiards and study do not go together and that a boy who spent money on the game was not fair or honest with his father. He thinks that the students' habits are too expensive also in other matters.
Mr. McNeal paid a tribute to physical strength but said that after all the principal thing for the student is the development of mind. He closed by emphasizing the need for good sense which would cause a person to leave off the ordinary follies of life and consider it as serious business.
GOLF TOURNAMENT IS ON.

TWO SETS OF OFFICERS
FRESHMAN LAWS ELECTED
TWO TICKETS.
Half the Class Behind One Faction, Half Behind the Other
Who are the officers of the Freshman law class? Ask one man and he will say Dietrich and the men elected with him. Ask the next fellow and he will say that the men elected Thursday are the officers.
The facts in the case are as follows: Early in the school year an election for the Freshman laws was held. Two tickets were in the field, one headed by Dietrich, the other by Curtis. Dietrich is a former college man taking straight law work this year. Curtis is a Freshman. The Dietrich ticket won 37 to 20.
After the election the Freshmen became dissatisfied with a college man for president and planned a revolt with the result that Thursday they voted to oust the officers. They gave no reason for this nor did they bring impeachment proceedings. They just voted to oust them.
The followers of Dietrich claim that officers can not be ousted without impeachment proceedings and a two-thirds vote. The opposition won't stand for such a claim. A little less than half the class still recognizes Dietrich as president and says it will continue to do so. The others affirm that they will stick by their man through thick and thin. Meanwhile the Freshmen laws have two sets of officers. Who are the real ones? Take your choice, the men themselves don't know.
FRESHMAN TEAM PICKED.
Coach Coleman Says That No One has Place Cinched.
W. J. Coleman, coach of the "tyros", reports that he has chosen the following men for the freshman team: Cen. J.

More men will be chosen for places as the season advances. According to the coach none of the men who have been picked are sure of their places. The freshmen will elect one of their men for captain at five o'clock this afternoon on McCook field.
One Hundred and Fifty to Manhattan.
When the Manhattan special pulled out this morning, the U. P. reported a sale of one hundred and fifty three tickets.

Only a few girls were among the rooters.
