GRADUATES REFUSED COUNCIL MEMBER
STUDENT COUNCIL TURNS DOWN PETITION.
The members of the Graduate School feel that they represent as distinctive a school of the University as any other, and for this reason feel that they should not be classed with the other schools. The reasons assigned by the council for the refusal are these:
Special Election May Be Called —Meeting Today to Discuss Situation.
The petition presented to the Student Council last Tuesday asking that the seventy-five members of the Graduate School be given a representative on the council was refused. Today at 4:30 o'clock the Graduates are meeting to discuss the situation and at that meeting Everett Brummage, a representative of the council, will deliver a communication to them in which the reasons for the denial of admission will be stated.
(1) If a Graduate representative is allowed the entire system of election will have to be changed.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 28.
(4) It would not be possible to elect their representative at the regular time as Graduates are generally here for only one year. Their election would necessarily have to be in the fall.
(2) At the present time all Graduates have a vote as seniors.
(3) Graduates are scattered among the other schools.
(5) At the present time there are three regularly enrolled Graduates on the council.
(6) The Student Council is essentially an undergraduate institution. Many of the Graduates hold positions on the University faculty.
C. R. Nesbitt, who is pushing the agitation for the Graduate Students stated this morning that it was not their intention to include as Graduate students every one who has been here over four years. "There are about seventy-five people," he said, "who are pursuing work for their Master's degrees and it is for a representative for them that we are asking. In a number of other schools that have Student Councils the Graduates always have a representative. They are recognized as exercising a great influence over the undergraduates and it is no more than justice that we be allowed a member on the Council."
What action will be taken by the Graduates is not known, but it is rumored that a petition will be circulated among University electors and if fifty names are signed a mass meeting to discuss a special election will be called.
Benjamin Levanthal Found in Semi-Conscious State.
STUDENT HAS BAD FALL
Benjamin Levanthal, a senior in the College, was found in his room at 1334 Ohio street at half eleven this morning in a semiconscious condition. Mr. Levanthal had received from a fall blows upon the head which caused contusions two inches long on his forehead and a slight scalp wound on the back of his head.
It is thought that Levanthal tripped while playing upon his violin and in falling, struck his head against one of the sharp cornered bed-posts.
A friend entered the room at about a quarter to twelve and found Mr. Levanthal beating the walls of the chamber with his $300 violin.
Dr. W. C. Chambers was in attendance and stated that Mr. Levanthal would be able to at-

There will be the usual "sirenus" peanuts, the red lomo' and sugar-coated popeorn. All the attractions seen in the largest and most up-to-date sirenus will be at Robinson gymnasium Saturday night. Watch for the handbills tomorrow morning.

NO SCRIMMAGE AGAIN TODAY
TOO HOT FOR HARD WORK OUT.
Ahrens Has Quit—Davidson Now Used in Center Position.
On account of the extreme weather the first scrimmage work of the football season was deferred again today until cooler weather. Yesterday Coach Sherwin promised the tryouts their first regular scrimmage but with the thermometer registering above 90 degrees, the coach decided that a hard work-out was too strenuous for his tyros. Today the weather is warmer than yesterday and hence a scrimmage work-out was again postponed until the arrival of cooler weather. Many of the men yesterday were almost overcoach the daily grind of the practice has brought them down to the lowest possible weight. The coach however does not fear that the loss of weight will seriously affect the team. As soon as cooler weather comes, he is confident that all the men will make acustomed weight.
Last Monday Henry Ahrens who was touted to be the logical man for the center berth, left for his home in Belleville and it is rumored that he will not return. The coach is deeply puzzled over his loss and is now working Davidson at passing the ball. "Ahrens is a valuable man and I am going to use all possible means to get him back," he said. "Davidson is a valuable man." The line but I am looking for a man with more 'pep' for the center position. If Ahrens comes back there is a probability that I will not play him at center."
There have been no selections made by the coach and it is probable that in the Baker game a week from next Saturday all of the try-outs will be given a chance to show their ability. Ammons and Brownlee appear to be the logical men for the end positions and Baird of the team last year will no doubt be found at his regular place at guard Davidson is sure of a place in the line. Heil at quarterback appears to be fully as good as was last year and will probabbe chosen to pilot the team for the season. Wilson and Delaney will be almost sure of places on account of their kicking ability and the Woodbury brothers are working hard for their places. Stuewe, fullback on the freshman team last year, is said to be a wonder and with the opening of serifmage practice is expected to show up in great style.
On account of the lack of a coach the call for the first fresh-
On account of the lack of a coach the call for the first freshman practice has not been given.
SENIORS ABOLISH PROFITS.
Profits of Play and Annual Re- vert to Class.
The election held by the seniors yesterday at the check stand for the purpose of settling the profit question in a vote made the management of the senior play and the management of the Annual purely honorary positions.
The result by votes for the Annual proposition was: 78 votes for honor system, 72 votes for a salary, and 11 votes for the old plan.
The vote for manager of the senior play was more decisive. Eighty-six votes were cast for this plan, 63 for the salary and 12 for the old plan.
The money earned by these senior enterprises will now revert to the class instead of to the manager, who in past years has always taken the responsibility of the undertaking, and pocketed the profits, if any.
