PAN-HELLENIC DEBATE.
Will Discuss Questions of Board of Control.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council Sunday, plans were drawn up for a debate between the eight national fraternities at the University. It was decided to discuss the question which caused such a stir at the last legislature, namely whether a board of three men to control the affairs of the University would be more efficient than the present Board of Regents. The question formally stated is: "Resolved that the board provided for by the senate bill No. 289 is preferable to the present system of control of state institutions."
It was agreed that the question of compensation would not be argued. A motion was also carried to the effect that the judges of the debate should not be University professors. The different fraternities drew for sides and the Phi Delts, Sigma Chis, Phi Psis and Phi Gams received the affirmative. The Alpha Taus, Sigma Nus, Sig Alphs and Betas will support the negative.

A $7,500 ADDITION FOR MYERS HALL
WORK ON NEW STRUCTURE
WILL BEGIN SOON.
Enlarged Building Will Include an Auditorium That Will Seat 500—More Offices.
Plans have just been completed by the architects and delivered to Dr. Payne, for a new $7,500 addition to the south end of Myers hall. The addition will be ten feet wider than the present building and forty-two feet in length. Work on the construction will begin within a few days, and be completed by September first. Friends of the students in Lawrence atd in the state at large have subscribed one-half the funds necessary for the work,and it is the purpose of Professor Payne to raise the balance of the fund by special subscription within thirty days. The plan has the hearty support of the Chancellor and friends of the students in the University.
The lines of the present building will be continued in the construction of the addition. When completed the enlarged building will contain in addition to the present rooms, an additional office and reading room on the first floor, similar to the present auditorium. The first floor will also contain a room exclusively for missionary maps, literature, and curios. The second floor of the addition will be given over to an auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred.
"The development of both the Bible chair work, and that of the Y. M. C. A. during the past year," said Dr. Payne this morning, "has made the facilities of Myers hall inadequate to meet the many demands made upon it. Another office is absolutely necessary, and more class rooms are needed. The weekly Y. M. C. A. meetings, which are held in the hall have been more than filling the room provided, and it will require a larger room for the growth of that work next fall. With these added facilities the work of the association among the new men will be much more effective. Our work this year has met with heartier support by the men of the University than at any time during my ten years of Bible work at the University. This is due largely to the hearty co-operation of the Bible chairs in connection with the work of the Y.W.-Y. M. C. A."

NEXT CAPTAIN UNCERTAIN
Stuckey and Dousman Are Probable Candidates.
The basket-ball election will be held tomorrow night at the post-season dinner at the Eldridge house that the athletic management is giving for the squad. Three members of the five this year are seniors and only three men remain eligible for the office of captain. These men are George Stuckey, Donald Dousman, and Frank Long. Stuckey and Long are both Juniors and Dousman is a sophomore with two more years to play on the team. Although the candidates for the position have not yet been announced, it is conceded that the election will lie between the two men who played regularly on the team this year, Dousman and Stuckey. The playing of both of these men has been of the very best during the entire season. Stuckey took Johnson's place at forward when Johnson quit, and displayed great ability at goal tossing. Dousman played a consistent game at guard throughout the entire season and many times added materially to the score with accurate goal shooting.
KANSAS WON MEET.
In Spite of Handicaps Jayhawkers Take Most Points.
In the Invitation handicap meet, held by the Omaha Athletic club Saturday night, Kansas won the highest number of points of all the other colleges entered in the meet. Kansas won two firsts, one second, and one third. Charles Woodbury scored eight individual points in the events that were open to all the teams entered in the meet and the Athletic management of the University has entered a request that he be given the point trophy, rather than the man of the Chicago Athletic club, to whom it was awarded, with ten points, since three places were made in events that were not open to all the contestants of the meet and should not be counted toward such a trophy. Of all the colleges that were entered, the Kansas men were handicapped most heavily. The Kansas athletes also had a greater number of handicaps than any other contesting team.
FRESHMEN ARE OBSTINATI
President to Wear Gap as White as Snow.
The rain yesterday brought out the grass on the campus and the flowers on the fruit trees—but not the caps on the freshmen In definance of the ruling of the Student Council, and the fact that barrel staves grow thick in the spring, the majority of the 1914 clas came out with civilized head gears. Just because the under classemen became so absent minded, a group of upper men have organized and intend to stage a cone-act comedy on the campus, entitled "The Slaughter of the Innocents."
The president of the freshman has asked and received permissinn from the Student Council to appear on the campus in a solid white cap.

This industrial fellowship has to do with the utilization of petroleum products in the manufacture of soap. It will in all probability be followed with a second multiple fellowship within the next week, dealing with the subject of wood varnishing. Also several more fellowships are expected for the University within the next year.
Mr. Humphrey started his part of the work in one of the rooms reserved for the Industrial fellows in the basement of the Chemistry building, on the first of April, and Professor Bushong will begin his work during the week after the spring commencement.
The fellowship was originated at the instance of the superintendent of the Fels Soap company, who made a visit to the University and looked over the laboratory equipment that is available here. His discussion of the subject with Professor Bushong satisfied him that conditions here were suitable, and upon his return to the East arrangements were made for the establishment of the fellowship in the interests of the soap company. The arrangements were completed last week and the appointments were made at that time.
