REGENTS MEETING TODAY
Gov. Stubbs Requests University Regents to Investigate.
The Board of Regents of the three state educational institutions are meeting today in Topeka at the call of Governor Stubbs. These representatives of the State Agricultural College, the State Normal school and the University of Kansas are to try to make some plans by which the three schools can effect a closer co-ordination in their work. President Waters of the Agricultural College, President Hill of the State Normal, and Chancellor Strong of the University will also be present. It has been found that in several cases there is an unnecessary overlapping of the work of the three schools that can be remedied without much difficulty and it is for this purpose that the boards are meeting.
Yesterday Governor Stubbs sent a letter to the Board of Regents of the University in which he took exceptions to the recent editorial in the Graduate Magazine and asked the members to conduct a personal investigation of the matter and to report to him today. He intimates that if the charges made by the Magazine cannot be substantiated, there ought to be a repudiation of the article. If sufficient time can be found for a private meeting after the session with the other Regents, the question will be threshed out tonight.
ENGLISH CREDITS SHAKY.
Upperclassmen May Be Made to Repeat Rhetoric.
Few students of the University are aware of the recent ruling of the faculty in regard to the granting of credit by the department of English on a provisional basis.
The ruling provides that all instructors in the college shall be supplied by the registrar's office with a set of blanks, on which a record shall be kept by the instructor, of each student's proficiency in English.
If, at the end of a term, two processors turn in an adverse report concerning a student's ability to speak and write the English language properly, his credit for first year rhetoric will be taken away and he will be required to take the subject over again at the earliest opportunity. If an excessively large number of upper classmen prove deficient, extra classes in rhetoric will be organized next fall.
The saving feature of the system is that the department of English may veto the action of the registrar's office, and, if they see fit, allow the student to retain his credits.
The University museum will hereafter be open Sunday afternoon from one thirty to five. This innovation is due to a new law passed by the recent legislature. It requires all buildings belonging to the state that contain museums or other exhibits for public inspection, to be open Sunday afternoons during these hours and the authorities must provide proper supervision over them during this time.
MUSEUM OPEN SUNDAY.
Will Meet Friday.
Legislature Passed a Law to that Effect
The United States senate or Cooley club will have its regular weekly meeting Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The subject to be discussed is "An act to provide for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people."

The setting of the play is at a university at the present time. The plot is of an Egyptian princess, who has read in novels of American college men and has decided that she must marry one. Her father humors her and the trip is made to America. The first act portrays the excitement at the university before her arrival. After the princess has picked one of the students for her husband difficulties arise over the theft of an Egyptian jewel. The complications are settled in the second act, and the characters live happily ever after.
Egyptian costumes will be worn by the foreign characters. A specialty dance will be given by the four Egyptian girls. The music for the farce and the prom will be given by Kelley's nine-piece orchestra of Kanass City. The book, lyrics and music for the farce have been written by George Bowles.

SENIORS ALMOST ARRESTED
Police Raid Restaurant Where They Were About to Banquet.
Have you ever sat in the parlor and smelled a chicken pie that was being prepared in the kitchen? And hawe you ever sat in the parlor and waited for the chicken pie to be served? If you have ever had to suffer the resultant pangs of hunger as your savory meal was delayed you can appreciate the feelings of thirteen members of the senior class who had gathered at a downtown restaurant last night for a little feed of home made cooking including a generous portion of chicken pie. These thirteen seniors were sniffing the air in delicious anticipation and were wondering why there was such an unnecessary delay in the serving of the edibles, when one of their number who had been on a tour of inspection found that a half hour before the men had gathered, the Lawrence police had made a raid on the place and had placed the owner, Mrs. Susie Earl, under arrest for selling toxicants.
As soon as the cause of the delay was ascertained, several of the men went to police headquarters and succeeded in raising one hundred dollars, the amount of bail asked for Mrs. Earl. Released from the clutches of the law, Mrs. Earl hurried home and in a short time the thirteen highbrows were partaking of their long delayed banquet.
MAY LIVE AGAIN.
Plan Proposed to Restore Athletic Association to Activity.
The Athletic association of the University, which has been in a moribund state for a number of years, may be restored to a condition of activity if the plans of a number of students are carried out. At a meeting of the Sachems, the senior society, held last week, a committee was appointed to make a general survey of the affairs of the association.
The constitution of the association has been amended at various times and the amendments have been lost by the secretaries. The senior committee will make an effort to find just where the association stands. This will be a preliminary movement toward restoring the association to a part of the power of which it has been shorn. The success of the movement depends, of course, upon the interest the student body shows in the attempt to rejuvenate the athletic association.
EMMA GOLDMAN TO SPEAK
She and Her Manager Will Address Good Government Club.
The Good Government club will meet tonight at the Alpha Tau house. Dr. Ben L. Reitman, manager for Emma Goldman, will speak to the club on the subject, "The Government and Vagrants."

REFUSES TO RUN.
Dean Green Will Not Again Become a Candidate.
"Uncle Jimmy" Green, whose name has appeared with regularity on every ticket at each Athletic board election for years past, has declined to again become a candidate for re-election to the board. While the common opinion seems to be that "Uncle Jimmie" has become discouraged at the encroachment of the Board of Regents on the power supposed to be delegated to the board of control of athletics, yet in an interview this morning Dean Green denied this to be his reason for refusing to again become a candidate for re-election.
"I feel," said he "that I have been more than duly honored in many successive re-elections to the board. I have served my time nad believe that I should now turn my place over to some one else.
"I do not know who will be my successor, but whoever he is, I can assure him that his duties will be neither arduous, nor his position difficult to fill."
Freshman Blisters.
A cap on the head is worth two in the store.
Birds of a feather flock together
—so do barrel staves.
If we went to war tomorrow we would join the standing army.
Even a toothpick in the hand of an upper classman feels like a bed slat.
If you want to know what a blister is, don't ask the dictionary—ask us.
To put temper into steel use a slow cooling process; to put temper into a freshman use a quick warning process.
Isn't it exciting to look out through your tears when you are getting paddled, and see the girl you want to make a hit with, laughing at you?
