OLINGER. NEW HEAD.
Westminster Man, a University Graduate.
Stanton Olinger, who succeeded Dr. Wilber, as principal of Westminster Hall is a graduate of the University of Kansas '95. He later studied theology for three years in Chicago and finished up with a year of postgraduate work in Princeton, taking a B. D. degree from the latter university. Rev. Olinger was appointed to the local Westminster Hall in July and took up his residence here early in August. For the past three years he has been pastor of the first Presbyterian church at Coffeyville.
Rev. Stanton is offering many courses of Bible study and is placing special stress on the one called "The Evidences of Christianity." It considers both Theistic and Anti-theistic theories, and is concerned with matter such as many eastern Universities give college credit for.
He has made a special study of apologetics, which has to do with the harmonizing of science and religion; and he will make a special effort in his work with the students here to help solve any religious problems which may arise in connection with their University studies.
Westminster is an open house for all students and those in charge of it are planning many social entertainments to be given during the year.
The following is a list of the courses which will be offered by Rev. Olinger during the year: Schedule, Elective Courses '11-12

Bones of Giant Lizard Added to Museum.
VALUABLE FOSSIL SECURED
Among the specimens collected by the University paleontologists, who have been summering near Sterling, Colo., is a stone-cenused skeleton of a tylosaur, a species of giant lizard living about a thousand years ago. These petrified remains are perhaps the finest of the kind to be found in the world. Professor H. T. Martin, of the University of Kansas, is in charge of the party that unearthed the monster in southwestern Kansas, where they were hunting fossils.
The specimen is about 48 feet long and was perhaps seven feet through the body when it lived. The estimated weight is twenty, five tons. Though the specimen is not perfect, it is in better condition than many that are found. Part of the ribs and a few tail joints are missing. The largest specimen ever found before is 23 feet long and weighs only about half as much as this one.
The Thespian Dramatic club will hold an important meeting in Room 110 Fraser hall tonight at 7:30 o'clock. The Thespians will give the first play this year. The manager of the club plans to engage the new Bowersock opera house for two nights as soon as it is completed. Ex-congressman J. D. Bowersock says that the theater will be completed November 1.
When living the tylossaur was a huge lizard with no front legs, only powerful hind ones. A large fin, where the front legs should be, indicated that the animal was seafaring. From the hind legs and strong tail, the indications are that it was a sitting creature. It is thought by scientists that the animal wallowed in the shallow water near shore.
A Good Price.
