SCOOP CLUB AGAIN IS A LIVE WIRE
HELD SESSION LAST NIGHT AND ELECTS NINE MEMBERS
Intends to Have Regular Meetings—Will Invite Prominent Newspaper Men to Speak.
The Scoop club has become active again. Last night at a meeting in the parlors of the Eldridge house, the old members of the club decided that it was time for the club to become again a factor in University affairs. The Scoop club is an organization of University men who have had actual newspaper experience. It was organized eight years ago and for several years thereafter the Lawrence Daily Journal permitted the club to publish one issue of the paper each year. In the Scoop club edition of 1907 numerous violations of the prohibitory law in Lawrence were exposed and an investigation started which resulted in a general "clean up" by the city authorities. Since that time the club has become more or less active, but none of the down town papers have ever invited the club to issue another number.
The old members of the club now in school are: Joseph W. Murray, Earl Fischer,Homer Berger, Clark Wallace,Ralph Spotts, J. Earl Miller, Frank Motz, Nelson Stephens, and Harry Kemp. It is the purpose of these men to create in the University a more general interest in newspaper work. One of the members said: "We hope that the Scoop club will accomplish more in the future than it has in the past few years. We propose to hold regular meetings at which we will have prominent newspaper men talk upon the various phases of newspaper work, and thus bring us into closer relationship with the profession generally."
The new members elected last night were: Edwin White, Ellis Davidson, Geoffrey Miller, Alston McCarty, Milton Baer, Louis La Coss, Tom Johnson, Carl Cannon Don Hendrickson and Wilbur Rogers.
MODEL U. S. SENATE
Cooley Club Form Legislative Body in School of Law.
The Cooley club has changed itself into a senate modeled as far as possible after the United States senate. At their meetings on Friday afternoon they will discuss some political questions of the day. Yesterday the question was "Reciprocity with Canada." It will also be the question for next Friday. Each member represents a senator from some state and is expected to vote as the senator of that state should vote. All law students are invited. It is hoped to have the full membership of two senators from each state.

Y. W. WORK AT HASKELL.
One Hundred Girls Given Phys ical and Religious Education.
One hundred girls of Haskell Institute now belong to both the gymnasium and Bible classes which girls of the University Y. W. C. A. are conducting at that school. The Bible work is divided into four classes, two sections meeting at 7:30 and the other two at 8:30 on Monday evenings. Three seniors, Mable Evans, Violet Haynes, Allena Grafton and a junior, Bess Taylor, each have a class. The gym class is divided into two sections, and as it also meets on Monday evenings, one half of the Indian girls are at the Bible classes, while the other half are at the gymnasium. Bertha Mix, a junior, and Delpha Johnson, each have charge of one class.
The Haskell authorities to and the work during the year, have bought wands and other apparatus. The institute at uresent has no gymnasium for the girls. The work is well systematized as the two students conducting the gym classes have had special work under Dr. Naismith. The Indian girls are enthusiastic and plan to give a public exhibition soon, if they can obtain permission. This is practically the first year of the work.
An Educational Test.
A professor in the University of Chicago told his pupils that he should consider them educated in the best sense of the word, when they could say yes to everyone of seventeen questions that he should put to them. The questions are as follows:
Has education given you sympathy with all good causes and made you esponse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the weak?
Have you learned how to make friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a pure woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the street?
Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high-thinking as piano playing or golf?
Can you look out over the world and see anything but dollars and cents?
Are you good for anything to yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see the clear sky?
Can you see anything in the
uddle but mud?
Professor Ralph W. Cone, formerly of the department of economies of the University who resigned his position as associate professor in that department last fall on account of ill health, has recovered from a serious operation and is now regaining his strength.
Can your soul claim relationship with the Creator?
Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars?

POTTER'S LAKE IS ALMOST COMPLETED
RESERVOIR WILL AFFORL FIRE PROTECTION.
Capacity of New Lake Will B
4,000,000 Gallons—Area of
Two Acres—Gost $9,000.
After the workmen have completed the spillway at the north end of Potter's Lake, a task upon which they are at present engaged, the lake will be ready for use. Recent rains and snows have partially filled the lake with water, but a pipe line is being constructed from the pumps on the hill to the lake so that water from the city mains may be used to fill the lake. Water from the lake will be pumped through large motor-driven centrifugal pump and will give the University adequate fire protection. The water supply which is now obtained from the city mains is entirely insufficient for such purposes.
Potter Lake is named for State Senator Potter, from Marion county, who was formerly a regent of the University. It will hold 4,000,00 gallons of water when completed and will cover an area of two acres. The water will be sixteen feet deep at the dam, and the dam is about eight feet wide at the top and sixty feet wide at the base.
The students will be allowed to use the lake for swimming and skating. The lake will also be used in the military maneuvers of the Kansas National Guards, when they hold their sham battle next spring. The cost of the lake will approximate $9,000.
TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP
Y. W. C. A. Begins Campaign for Three Hundred Members.
The membership and finance committees of the Young Women's Christian Association began a new membership campaign on Thursday of this week. They are trying to increase the membership of the University association to three hundred, and have had excellent success up to the present time.
The city is divided into thirteen districts and two girls work together in a house to house canvass in each district. Two of the girls secured sixteen new members in an hour and a half Thursday and report that only two girls who were asked, refused to join. In all about thirty new members were added as a result of the first day's canvass.
The regular Wednesday meeting next week will be a special one for the new members. The full reports of the committees will be read at that time. In accordance with an annual custom, a banquet will be held some time this month, probably in Snow hall, for all the student members of the Association, and the Lawrence women who are the sustaining members of the organization.
Missouri has recently held a spelling match for members of the faculty with sides chosen by prominent professors. Among those who missed on the word "bdellium," were Professors H. Wade Hibbard and President A. Ross Hill, both formerly of Cornell.
The Swede basket-ball five defeated the Southwestern College team Saturday evening at Lindseborg, by a score of 30 to 21.
