MECHANICALS WILL DRINK THE BEER
ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF MINERS FOR A CONTEST.
Several Other Bouts Will Be Staged—May Have Debate and Concert.
If the engineers put on all the stunts that thus far they have planned, Engineer's Day will be a continuous round of pleasure that will make the four ring circus take to the woods with shame. Several days ago the Miners agreed to issue a challenge to the other departments of the engineering school in which they proclaimed their ability to finish first in a Marathon drinking contest. As soon as this challenge was read by the Mechanicals they felt that there was an encroachment upon their inalienable rights by the Miners and that their standing in engineering circles was in jeopardy. Today the invitation to a friendly encounter in the matter of consuming a quantity of beer was readily accepted by the Mechanicals with the one provision that the Aunt Jane variety be barred, the students of steam and pressure believing that if the brand be used such as has in years past been alleged to be dispensed by a certain denizen of the East Bottoms, an undue advantage will be given to the Miners who are supposed to be, in several instances, insured to this favorite beverage.
In addition to this the Mechanics also accepted several of the other challenges and it is now up to the Miners to get ready for a tug of war in which the weights of the challengers must be exactly the same as that of the acceptors, else, a la Shylock, the Mechanicals will be declared the winners. The fistic combat, the bid to a three round fray, was accepted, with the stipulation that a side bet of fifty dollars be placed with Dean Marvin.
Besides accepting invitations to contests, the Mechanics have issued a few "at homes" themselves. They have declared that they have within their ranks forensic artists who are without a peer in the school and they agree that they will defend against all comers the following question: "Resolved, That the thermal modification of Carnot's cycle involves an electrodynamic loss." The melodious carroling of the various members as they spent long hours over a draughting table has led them to believe that in the terpsichorean art they are unexcelled, and accordingly they agree to vanquish all contestants in a vocal concert, eve advocated by the followers of ryone eligible. Another thing Prof. Walker is a water fight, in which the Women's Student Council shall be the referee.
At the present time there are meetings held each day at chapel hour, at which time all challenges are considered and new plans are broached.

NEW PLAN FOR STUDY.
'Group System.' Will Be Given a Trial by Y. M.
The Bible study committee of the University Y. M. C. A . has set in operation a new method of student study of the life of Christ. The new plan which is known as the "group system," includes a "normal class," composed of eight men who conduct Bible classes at various students' houses every Sunday morning. Bosworth's "Life of Christ" is the text book used, and will be covered in ten lessons, extending from the twenty-sixth of February to the first Sunday in May.
The "normal class," which in composed of William Caldwell, Donald Martindell, Lambert Eidson (chairman), Verne Long, Roy Stockwell, H. C. Herman, John Shea and Henry Broderson, meets once a week to discuss plans and places for holding the following week's meetings.
This system of bible study is not original at the University of Kansas, but has been tried and found successful by many of the large Eastern Universities. It was highly recommended at the recent Y. M. C. A. conference at Pittsburg, Kan., as being the best possible plan available for student Bible study.
BEVERAGES ANALYZED.
Pop Manufacturers Turn to University for Aid.
A successful investigation concerning the cause and remedy for the precipitation found in soda pop in hot weather has just been completed in the water analysis laboratory of the University. Soda pop as manufactured at present can not be kept over 15 to 20 days in hot weather without showing a precipitation which entirely spoils it for commercial purposes.
The cause of the trouble is lime and magnesium salts, which are found in the water used in the manufacture. A chemical process has been perfected in the water analysis laboratory by which the water may be softened. This process will neutralize the chemical action of the lime and magnesium salts and will do away with the turbidity in the manufactured product.
The waters of twelve factories have been tested.
According to George Russell, manager of the Jayhawker,March 8 is the last day on which senior pictures will be received. It is the intention of the management to commence the arrangement of the pictures on that day in alphabetical order and in order to do so it is necessary that all pictures shall be in by that time.
Senior Pictures Must Be In.
Work on the annual is progressing nicely and already sixty pen and ink sketches have been sent to Kansas City to be reproduced in zinc etchings. All of the jokes will be illustrated and the book will be replete with clever cartoons and take-offs on "hill" doings.

LEAVES FOR PITTSBURG.
Industrial Fellow Receives Instructions to Come at Once.
Henry Kohman, of Dillon, a graduate student, left Tuesday for Pittsburg, Pa., where he will take up work on the bread-making fellowship which was secured for him by Prof. R. K. Duncan, last fall at the Pittsburg University. Mr. Kohman was not supposed to leave for Pittsburg until April, but received a hurry-up call to come and start work at once. Kohman formerly held the Master Bawers fellowship at the University of Kansas, and since the expiration of that fellowship last summer, has being doing work toward a Ph.D. degree.
His new fellowship in the East will carry a salary of $2,500 a year for two years, and will require two assistants. The work will be a continuation of the research in break-making, which he has been doing for the past two years. An additional bonus of $10,000 goes with the fellowship if any processes are discovered which shall be of commercial value to the firm.
The Distinguishing Feature Between a Man and a Monkey
is the fact that a man walks upright, laughs and wears clothes, while the monkey doesn't. Now the better your clothes fit the less you'll look like a monkey. Why not have them cut and made to to your measure by our famous Chicago tailors, Ed. V. Price & Co.? Come to my store and look at their handsome Spring woolens. Samuel G. Clarke, 910 Mass St., Lawrence, Kansas.
