REGISTRATION TO BE COMFORTABLE
CHANGES IN SYSTEM FOR NEXT YEAR.
Students May Be Spared Necessity of Standing in Line, but Closed Classes Unavoidable.
In discussing the enrollment for the second semester, Prof. L. E. Sisson said today that the article headed "Some Suggestions Concerning Enrollment" in the issue of The Kansan for January 26, is very fair. He says that the faculty contemplates making several improvements in the system next year
As it is now it is impossible to enroll all the students in one day. Next year more advisors will be provided, probably six instead of three for each of the four classes. The students will assemble upstairs in the gymnasium and be provided with seats. Their order of enrollment has not yet been worked out. An attempt will be made to obviate the necessity of standing for hours in long lines. The students might be numbered as they came and given a definite hour when they should return to enroll.
The trouble of closed classes cannot be remedied so easily, said Professor Sisson. The great competition for certain classes has only been felt the last few years on account of the increased number of students. This situation can be relieved only by legislative appropriation which cannot be expected for two years yet. Other large universities, as a rule, have a fund which they can use for the engaging of new teachers as the need for more classes is felt. When the University succeeds in getting a similar fund from the state, the courses will be open to all.
Tested Natural Gas.
The report of the tests of natural gas by the chemistry department have been made public. The local consumers of the gas complained of the exorbitant bills that were turned in to them every month and so an investigation was made. The analysis was carried on in the laboratories by Prof H.C.Allen, and it shows the presence of 95.7 per cent of marsh gas,the combustible material in the gas,and .21 per cent of oxygen,the air constituency in the gas.
Will Enter Michigan.
Fred B. Fonlk, of Wichita, a sophomore in the College, and a member of The Kansan staff, has withdrawn from the University and will enter the University of Michigan at the beginning of the second semester, which opens February 13. He intends to enroll in the School of Journalism and to try out for a position on the Michigan Daily.

GOT RARE SPECIMEN
University Profits by Losses of Kansas City Animal Show.
Mr. H. T. Martin, of the department of paleontology, while in Kansas City yesterday, had the good fortune to secure for the museum a rare specimen of rodent from Mr. Edwards' animal show, now located at 12th and Baltimore. This animal is the Agouti, a native of South America, and is one rarely found alive in traveling collections. Mr. Edwards' animal exhibit, however, is unique in this respect, as it contains many odd and unusual specimens, seldom found in captivity. Many losses occur owing to the rapid climatic changes. Mr. Martin made arrangements with Mr. Edwards to ship any of the animals which die to the museum, where they will be used in the comparative studies carried on at the University.
The Unitarian Church.
Preaching service at 11 a. m.; Rev. J. H. Jones, of Topeka, will preach in exchange with the minister; the Sunday School meets at 12 o'clock; Dr. Newport will speak on the "Artists of Venice" with illustrations; Dr. Carruth and Dr. Newport have classes for students; the Young People's meetings at 6:45; topic, "Theoretical Socialism," leader Mr. D. B. Rogers. There will be no meeting of the minister's study class on next Monday. All cordially invited to these meetings. F. M. Bennett, minister. Frank E. Wells and Miss Anna R. Manley, student pastors.
The College of Emporia basketball team closed its road trip at Wichita Friday evening where it was defeated in a hotly played game with Friends University by a score of 37 to 34.
The food laboratory has recently acquired an apparatus to be used in a high speed centrifuge, which the University already possesses in the drug laboratory. The presence of this apparatus will make the centrifuge available for certain uses to which the food laboratory can put it, which will greatly expedite special lines of work. This machine is used for the purpose of very quickly and completely separating solid matter of a light floculent nature from liquids of all kinds.
New Laboratory Apparatus.
Those who know say that the College Inn is the best place in Lawrence for students to take their meals or short orders.
FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Kansas is the greatest college state. One out of every 122 residents of Kansas is in college; Iowa is next with one out of every 171; then comes Illinois, Ohio New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
It has been estimated that the students at Michigan State University during the last year used 132,210 cigars, 33,180 boxes of cigarettes, 52,000 packages of smoking tobacco and 6,850 plugs of chewing tobacco. They also used 57,400 packages of gum and 100,000 bars of chocolate.
Chicago's student council recently abolished the freshman toque and substituted therefor an official freshman cap. The order has been strongly resisted on the part of the first year men on the ground that many of the self-supporting members of the class would suffer hardship in destroying a useful article of wearing apparel.
A new and novel system of inter-society debates has been inaugurated at Upper Iowa. Hereafter the question is to be submitted eleven months in advance, but the sides will not be chosen until the night of the debate, when the teams will decide by lot which side they will uphold. The idea is to produce ready extemporaneous speakers.
A novel course is found at Indiana, the like of which probably does not exist in any American university. The purpose of the course is to make the members of the classes familiar with the broader principles of conservation. According to the announcement of the professor in charge, it is a study of conservation from a scientific standpoint.
The team that will represent the United States at the Fifth Olympic games at Stockholm, will, of course, have its expenses paid by the Olympic Committee, as usual, and the committee to ask for contributions for the record as favoring the project and contributing, is the Amateur Athletic Union. President Everett C. Brown of Chicago has notified Secretary James E. Sullivan to take a mail vote of the board of governors authorizing that the sum of $1,000 be contributed by the Amateur Athletic Union to the treasurer of the Olympic Committee to start the fund that is to be raised to send the team of 1912. This proposition was presented to President Brown by the New York members of the A. A. U., who felt that the Amateur Athletic Union should take the lead.
