EXPERTS LECTURE ON ADVERTISING
FOUR ADDRESSES COMING IN NEW COURSE.
Advertising Men of Lawrence Firms Invited to Hear Talks in New Course.
It is the aim of the department of journalism to make the new course in advertising, which was established at the opening of the second semester, as useful as possible. To this end, the business men of Lawrence have been invited to attend a series of four lectures which will be given in the course by advertising experts.
Prof. C. M. Harger, head of the department, has arranged for two addresses by the managers of the advertising departments of the Capper publications at Topeka. E. W. Rankin and Marco Morrow. F. A. Gray, of the Gray Realty company of Kansas City, who gave several lectures before the reporting classes last year, will make two addresses.
An invitation has been extended to all the business firms of Lawrence to send their advertising men to hear these addresses.
The new course in advertising is attracting considerable attention from advertising men who have written making inquiries about it. It is believed to be the only course in advertising offered in any state university.
ARE YOUR CREDITS GOOD?
Geo. O. Foster's Annual Muckraking Expedition About to Start
This is the week when Registrar George O. Foster gets in some of his most deadly work. The checking up of seniors who are candidates for degrees in June will begin. It is a time of suspense for those who are hovering on the ragged edge of just enough hours to graduate, and those who feel in their bones that they are a few points shy. If it isn't on the books, it isn't anywhere. A number of students of former years can testify that the Registrar can't be bluffed in his matter of credits.
Each senior is expected to file at the registrar's office an application for the degree for which he is a candidate. This applies to all schools.
Spooner Gets New Index.
A new card index has been purchased by the University and placed in Spooner Library. The old case, made in 1894, is very bunglesome and inadequate.. Not only is the new case a great improvement over the old one in appearance, but it is much easier to handle. The index is made of finely finished oak with brass handles on the drawers. The seventy-eight trays of the case are the standard size of the Library Bureau Co., and are all interchangeable. There are portable shelves for resting the trays on while searching for a card.
City Engineer to Speak.
L. R. Ash, of Kansas City, Mo., will speak before the Civil Engineering society next Thursday at 7:30 o'clock, in Blake hall. Mr. Ash is the city engineer of Kansas City and will speak on some municipal problem. He has given interesting talks here for each of the past two years.
Frank C. Nutter, of Kansas City, is stopping at the Phi Psi house over Sunday.
Medic Class Eat Iodide With Varied Results.
CRUELTY TO FRESHMEN
Let the guns that are trained against vivisection roar. Not guinea pigs, but innocent freshmen are now being sacrificed, for the cause of science, here at the University. Wednesday morning of last week each member of the freshman medical class was compelled to swallow a seven grain capsule of potassium iodide, just to see how long it would take for his system to absorb the chemical. When the iodide was completely absorbed, the saliva of the Medies should turn blue. In exactly eight minutes each freshman was furnishing the desired test. In ten minutes every member of the class was sick.
Thursday three of the boys were sick in bed, and the rest of the class feeling about as cut up as the appropriation bill. The taking of an iodide capsule is one of the regular experiments of the freshmen class, but has never had any disastrous effects before. The Medies believe that the Pharmics doped the pills,but the latter are keeping quiet and refuse to be interviewed in the matter.
Tournament Being Played.
The eliminating contests in the round robin tennis tournament have narrowed the number of players to eight. Rohrer, H. Richardson, Hawes and Nees have played the greatest number of games and have still a high percentage of games won which will allow them to continue in the tournament. H. Wilson, Uhlraub, Motz and Allen are the other men who have been doing some good work and who will probably play in the finals.
At the present time all the games are being played on the gymnasium floor, but as soon as the weather opens up the tournament will be transferred to the outdoor courts.
Spoke Before Westminster Guild.
Edward Weidlein, who has the Stubbs-Grenfell scholarship for investigation of the secret glands of deep sea mammals, gave an interesting lecture Saturday evening on a trip he made to Labrador. The speech was given before the Westminster Guild, an organization of Presbyterian students of the University. Mr. Weidlein gave an account of the life of the fishermen of Newfoundland and Labrador. The people of these countries are chiefly engaged in the whaling industry.
